One of the more exciting reveals during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live ceremony last week was Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. Not only is TT Games returning to the Caped Crusader – its first time since 2014’s Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham – but it’s doing so with a brand-new take on the superhero… kinda. I say that because a lot of Legacy of the Dark Knight will feel familiar to those who watch and read about Bruce Wayne’s bat-shaped half, and that’s by design. Instead of continuing its original storytelling from the first three Lego Batman games, TT Games…
It’s a great time to be a fan of Konami’s Silent Hill series. Between Bloober Team’s great Silent Hill 2 remake last year, the upcoming Silent Hill f that launches next month, and Return To Silent Hill, the Silent Hill 2 film adaptation hitting silver screens on January 23, there’s plenty of psychological horror to go around. Ahead of the movie’s release early next year, Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting have released an official teaser trailer for the film. “Return To Silent Hill brings the iconic horror franchise back to the screen,” the movie’s logline reads. “When James receives a mysterious letter…
Last week, I traveled to Cologne, Germany, to attend Gamescom and play more than two dozen games. One of those games was Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline installment in Capcom’s long-running survival horror series. Although it was the same demo from June’s Summer Games Fest event in Los Angeles, featuring Grace Ashcroft in a decrepit care center attempting to escape from a monstrous creature stalking the halls, it was still my first time playing it. You can read my hands-on preview thoughts on that demo in my Gamescom preview round-up here, but it was only half of my Requiem experience…
Scott Pilgrim EX, the beat-em-up inspired by the popular graphic novel series, is getting two more playable characters. Roxie Richter and Lucas Lee, two of the series’ iconic Evil Exes, join Scott and Ramona Flowers in their fight against the vegans, robots, and demons that have taken over the city. You can see them in action in the gameplay trailer below: As you’d expect, both playable exes use abilities seen in their past appearances. Lucas Lee uses a skateboard as a weapon and summons his crew of stunt doubles, while Roxie Richter wields a katana with ninja-like agility. Their announcement brings…
Earlier this Summer, Dark Horse Comics and Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast revealed “Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks”, an all-new Forgotten Realms D&D adventure comic series written by Greg Pak, penciled by Wilton Santos, inked by Advan Alves, colored by Raul Angulo, and lettered by Nate Piekos. This four-issue miniseries begins when Issue #1 arrives this October, but ahead of its release, Game Informer can exclusively reveal a look at a special new art piece and never-before-seen character sketches. The four issues will feature art by Marguerite Sauvage, Uzuri, Stephen Segovia, and Dan Panosian, but all four issues will include back…
Judas was formally revealed during The Game Awards 2022 as the next game from BioShock creator Ken Levine and his studio, Ghost Story Games. Since then, the team has remained mostly silent, save for a gameplay trailer last year, on what it’s been up to with this sci-fi shooter (that looks a lot like BioShock). However, Levine took to the PlayStation Blog to share new details about the game’s Big 3, villainy system, and the Judas key art. Taking inspiration from famed Star Wars poster illustrator Drew Struzan, the Judas key art features the protagonist up front and center, seemingly overshadowing…
The PlayStation Plus Essential tier gives subscribers free games every month, and recently, those games have been particularly excellent. Last month’s offerings included Lies of P, one of the best games of 2023, but the upcoming September lineup announced on the PS Blog manages to top even that; you’ll get Psychonauts 2, Viewfinder, and Stardew Valley, one of the most beloved indie games of all time. Stardew Valley got a substantial 1.6 update last year, so if you haven’t played it in a while, you’ll be greeted by some new features, including new dialogue, new crafting recipes, hats for pets,…
Though it’s not the original Ubisoft team that created Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game behind the upcoming quasi-sequel, Scott Pilgrim EX, Universal picked arguably the perfect team to make this game in Tribute Games. Behind great beat ’em ups like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and hard at work on Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Tribute Games feels like a great match for Scott Pilgrim’s next beat ’em up adventure. It helps that Tribute Games’ core leadership includes Jonathan Lavigne, Jean-Francois Major, and Stéphane Boutin, former Ubisoft developers who worked on the first Scott Pilgrim game. And if my…
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the team behind the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise, has announced it will hold an RGG Summit next month, immediately followed by an RGG Direct. The summit will bring “the latest info directly from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio,” on Wednesday, September 24, at 4 a.m. PT/7 a.m. ET, and the RGG Direct following it will give “a closer look at some of the studio’s latest announcements.” As for what to expect at the Summit and Direct, RGG doesn’t tease anything, though it has various projects in the works like Stranger Than Heaven, a new Virtua Fighter, and…
Pokémon Legends: Z-A launches in less than two months on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and as we get closer to its release, The Pokémon Company has continued to reveal more about the game, including which Mega-evolved Pokémon to expect in it. We learned about Mega Victreebel last week and now, Mega Hawlucha joins the roster. “Hawlucha, an entertainer flexing the strength of its pumped-up muscles, is ready to prove there’s even more to its showboating style through Mega Evolution,” a press release reads. “Bulked by Mega Evolution, it uses its muscles to take hit after hit from opponents’ moves and…
