Audio player loading… What would superhero universes look like if the superheroes... well, lost? It's an avenue not often explored, but it's what the team behind deckbuilder Hand of Fate is looking to do with its newest game Capes. The tactical RPG looks at the bleak world of supervillain supremacy, where they managed to wipe out the good guys two decades prior and have since wreaked a fair bit of havoc. But now the new generation of superheroes are all grown up, ready to reclaim the city from the various baddies that have set up shop. It's a fun premise, and I'd be interested to see how a band of green champions can stand up against veteran ne'er-do-wells. The trailer gives a good glimpse of what can be expected. There'll be a whole slew of superheroes to recruit, with the developer promising some neat diversity in powers as well as "ethnicities, genders, hopes, and dreams." The turn-based combat will have the heroes rescuing civilians from debris and taking on the bad … [Read more...] about Capes is a superhero tactical RPG where the good guys already lost

Audio player loading… With a name like a long-lost Japanese tokusatsu series and a slavish dedication to a 16-bit aesthetic, Blazing Chrome (opens in new tab) developers JoyMasher are at it again. They've just announced their fourth game, Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider, an action platformer the the kind of 16-bit style that would have been right at home on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, or even the glowing backlit screen of a Game Gear. In Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider you'll play the eponymous Moonrider, a super soldier who turns against the evil government that created it and fights for its overthrow. It's an action platformer that draws from the classic era of action platforming, with the creators citing Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi as inspirations. Like Blazing Chrome, JoyMasher will partner with indie publisher The Arcade Crew to help Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider along. Yes, I'm going to type out the entire title Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider as many times as I can … [Read more...] about Here’s a 16-bit cybersamurai epic from the devs of Blazing Chrome

Grand Theft Auto 6--or GTA 6--doesn't have a release date yet. In fact, we don't even know if that will be the game's official name, but we do at least know it's in active development. We also have some reported details coming in that could make the game very interesting Rockstar Games finally confirmed its development in 2022, more than eight years after the release of GTA 5, and given the studio's tendency to only release games when they're good and ready, it's difficult to tell when we'll actually be able to play it. Game development can take a very long time nowadays, compared to the early and mid-2000s when four Grand Theft Auto games released in just seven years. Little, if anything, is concrete regarding Grand Theft Auto 6's details thus far, but there have been a whole bunch of rumors. These vary wildly, with some touching on who you will play as--possibly including a playable woman for the first time in the series' single-player mode--to where the game will take place. It … [Read more...] about GTA 6 Rumors: Grand Theft Auto Release Date, Map, Characters, And More

Audio player loading… Today at Wizards Presents, Wizards of the Coast announced that the next generation of Dungeons & Dragons (opens in new tab) is on its way via a massive public playtest called One D&D. This will include a revision of the core rulebooks: The Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual. This update will come alongside an offical digital toolset and virtual tabletop for D&D. (opens in new tab) The new rules will be backwards compatible with 5th Edition, or 5E, the current version of the D&D rules. These have been around since 2014 and are probably the ones you play, statistically speaking. Don't panic: We knew this would come. It's not that drastic, and it has happened before. Wizards of the Coast isn't calling the new ruleset D&D 6th Edition, but that's really what it is. If it doesn't pick an official name other than One D&D, players will call it 6E, or maybe 5.5. Trust me: Wizards tried to make 5E … [Read more...] about D&D 6th Edition announced (but they’re calling it One D&D for now)

Audio player loading… Diablo 4 will be supported by an "army of developers" working on new seasonal content for years to come, Blizzard said in today's new quarterly update (opens in new tab) , with updates and new content ranging from polish and quality-of-life features to major new features, quests, enemies, items, live events, and—of course—season passes. Seasons in Diablo 4 will be modeled after Diablo 3's: Players will begin each new season with a brand new character (existing characters will remain accessible in the "Eternal Realm"), with no items or gold from the previous season carrying over. "We think it is important that players see that the game is changing in meaningful ways," associate game director Joe Piepiora wrote. "Each season will be released with a fresh new gameplay feature and questline that introduces new challenges, mysteries, and possibilities into the level-up experience." Seasonal live events could include things like a weekend-long … [Read more...] about Diablo 4 will have ‘an army of developers’ working on years of seasonal updates
