Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands dev has “nine AAA games under development”
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands developer has nine AAA currently in development. The news actually comes from Gearbox's parent company, Embracer Group, which published its Q4 and year end financial report yesterday on May 19. In the report, the parent company reveals that Gearbox currently has "nine AAA games under development." That's a hell of a lot on the plate for the Tiny Tina's Wonderlands developer. However, it's worth remembering that Gearbox actually has a publishing arm as well as in-house development teams, and Embracer Group didn't elaborate on whether the nine titles were in-house at Gearbox or merely being published by them. It was only just over a year ago, in February 2021, that Embracer Group acquired Gearbox for the grand total of $1.3 billion. Immediately after, then-Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford claimed that the acquisition allowed the developer to " take a risk " on making a brand new IP, revealing that ideas for new series were already circulating at … [Read more...] about Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands dev has “nine AAA games under development”

Fallout: London looks brilliant in first gameplay footage
A lengthy gameplay video has given us to our first proper peek at Fallout: London, and it looks brilliant. With Bethesda firmly focused on sci-fi RPG Starfield as well as the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls 6 , Fallout fans are left to wonder when the developer will return to its stellar post-apocalyptic series. Details on Fallout 5 are thin on the ground, and the game's release is likely still many years down the road. But some skilled Fallout fans are on hand to make that wait a little easier. Fallout: London is a DLC-sized mod for Fallout 4 that trades the game's American setting for an all-new post-apocalyptic adventure set in London. The Fallout London Team has now revealed how this ambitious project is shaping up in an 18-minute YouTube video. The mod is still a work in progress, but already it's looking very impressive. There's clearly been a lot of effort put in to ensure that Fallout: London looks and feels different from any other Fallout game yet … [Read more...] about Fallout: London looks brilliant in first gameplay footage
Marvel Snap is turning the multiverse into a chaotic card game where bluffing is half the battle
Marvel Snap is bringing over 150 characters from the Marvel multiverse to the realm of card battles with a focus on short matches and bluffing. Lead developer Second Dinner, the studio founded by Hearthstone veterans including former game director Ben Brode, unveiled the game earlier today, following up on a brief teaser video that the Marvel Twitter dropped yesterday. It's joined by multiplayer specialist Nuverse, which worked with Second Dinner throughout development. Marvel Snap is coming to PC and mobile later this year; it's described as a "mobile-first" but not mobile- exclusive free-to-play title, and the initial PC offering will apparently be an early access version. Second Dinner says it's leaned into small decks, short matches, and tricky board states. Matches apparently average around three minutes, and the rules of the game seem simple: build a deck of 12 unique heroes and position them on a board split into three lanes with different effects. … [Read more...] about Marvel Snap is turning the multiverse into a chaotic card game where bluffing is half the battle

How To Get Whetstone In V Rising
V Rising challenges players in a number of different ways. From simply learning the mechanics of the game to trying to establish a fully-functioning castle, players have their cut out for them in the world of Vardoran. Fortunately, many of your goals in V Rising will overlap with each other. The game has designed its mission system to act this way, allowing players to accomplish one goal to start another. One of the best examples is allowing players to build a starting base and then upgrading it with different items. A necessary addition to any base is the roof, which can't be crafted without a whetstone . While the whetstone does serve other purposes in V Rising, you will mainly need it to craft roof slabs for your starting base and eventual castle. In the early game, the only way to acquire a whetstone is to find it out in the world. Later on, you'll be able to craft your own whetstone but that's not until several other missions are completed. For now, you want to focus on which … [Read more...] about How To Get Whetstone In V Rising
New Umbrella Academy Season 3 Trailer Raises As Many Questions As It Answers
Netflix has released a new trailer for Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy, and the clip finally gives fans their first, in-depth look at what the next batch of episodes have in store. Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy hits Netflix on June 22.

Reginald Hargreeves adopted seven of them … [Read more...] about New Umbrella Academy Season 3 Trailer Raises As Many Questions As It Answers
How Does Cross Worlds Fit Into The Ni No Kuni Universe?
Historically, Ni no Kuni has taken an almost Final Fantasy-style approach to sequels. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and its only-in-Japan counterparts, Dominion of the Dark Djinn for DS and Hotroit Stories for mobile devices, exist as one story. The console sequel, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, takes place many generations later, with any ties to the original basically functioning as fun Easter eggs. Characters and plot don't move between games, but themes, the art style, and certain enemies and races do. The 2019 Ni no Kuni movie took a similar approach and did not feature direct overlap with the games. The upcoming No no Kuni mobile MMO, Cross Worlds, is continuing the tradition and not relying on the story that came before it. But there are plenty of reasons to recognize Cross Worlds as a legitiamte Ni no Kuni game that understands its roots--and it might be more of proper sequel than assumed. The original Ni no Kuni tells the story of a young boy who loses his mother … [Read more...] about How Does Cross Worlds Fit Into The Ni No Kuni Universe?
