    You Don’t Have To Like Golden Axe To Enjoy The New Animated Series’ Trailer
    Sega's cult-classic Golden Axe games haven't been relevant since 2008--thanks, Golden Axe: Beast Rider--but a new animated series is looking to bring the retro beat-'em-up back into the spotlight. The first trailer for the series has gone live, and just like the video gams, there's plenty of adventuring, blood, and a potion-hoarding thief getting the stuffing knocked out of it. This is one of Sega's oldest franchises, and even if you never grew up with it, the trailer does a good job at highligh

With that success and the recent news of a Kingdom Hearts TV show for Disney+, some fans are wondering if a movie could be next.That's the question that IGN put to Walt Disney Animation Studios boss Jared Bush.

    The Duskbloods Is Inspired By One Of Tabletop Gaming’s Most Famous Vampire RPGs
    From Software has been an industry trendsetter with its souls-like games over the years, but what inspires the studio when it crafts new experiences like The Duskbloods? The brief amounts of gameplay we've seen so far certainly suggest it includes plenty of From Software DNA, with its elegant art direction and hard-hitting action, and game director Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed that tabletop games such as Vampire: The Masquerade also had a hand in shaping The Duskbloods.One of the core gameplay mec

    The Duskbloods Has Some George R.R. Martin In Its Blood
    From Software's next game, The Duskbloods, is inspired by both vampire literature and tabletop games. But another key figure that the studio looked to for motivation was legendary Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. That's not too surprising, given Martin's involvement with the studio's smash-hit game Elden Ring, and while he may not have had a direct role in The Duskbloods, his work in vampire fiction still had an impact."From a lore, aesthetic, [and] world-building point of view, there&

    Miyazaki Says The Duskbloods Reveal Probably Gave Fans The Wrong Impression
    When The Duskbloods was officially announced for Switch 2 back in late 2025, the trailer and description that it was a PvPvE title might have sent the wrong message, game director Hidetaka Miyazaki said to GameSpot recently. When it comes to PvPvE games, these are generally associated with the extraction-shooter genre, something that The Duskbloods very much is not. As Miyazaki explained, The Duskbloods can't be categorized so simply."The PvPvE [label is] a little bit confusing in the conte

    It's no secret that the Halo franchise is no longer Microsoft's crown jewel in terms of sales or prominence, and it hasn't been for some time. Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto has now weighed in with his idea for a new game and new development philosophies to help revive the Halo brand. However, Lehto went on to say his ideas are probably "fanciful," in part because he believes Xbox CEO Asha Sharma doesn't have a real interest in reviving the franchise.Posting on social media, Lehto said his pitch f
