The first King’s Bounty game came out in 1990. Considered highly influential, it took a while until fans saw another offering with King’s Bounty: The Legend in 2008. This would be the precursor to a spinoff series, one that had several titles like Armored Princess and Crossworlds. That’s why the numbering might be odd since we’re about to see the release of King’s Bounty II. When Tim McDonald interviewed Nikolay Baryshniko, CEO of 1C Entertainment, the studio considered King’s Bounty II as a means of going back to the series’ roots....

A new look at Kingdom Hearts 3 was shown during the Square Enix E3 conference, giving a first look at the new Tangled world featured in the game. Sadly there’s no word on a release date, with Square Enix simply restating the game is in development for PS4 and Xbox One.

Following the announcement of Kingdom Hearts 4, Square Enix sent a press release including a few interesting details about the game. We learn that this is the beginning of an “epic new storyline” titled “Lost Master Arc.” Quadratum, which is the setting we see in the trailer, is “a large, expansive city set in a gorgeous, realistic world unlike anything ever seen before in the Kingdom Hearts series.” On top of that, we learn that the girl featured in the video is a completely new and mysterious character named “Strelitzia....

The debut SmackDown episode on FOX has a main event. On last night’s episode, WWE set up a WWE Championship match for its move to network television. Kofi Kingston will defend the title against Brock Lesnar, who returned after Kingston wrestled in a tag team match to begin last night’s show, and then attacked the champion.

Konami has announced that it’s entered an exclusive global partnership with London’s oldest professional football club, Fulham FC, for its Pro Evolution Soccer series. This agreement will see the Championship club perfectly recreated in the forthcoming PES 2018. The full squad will be recreated in game with all the kits and players replicated using Konami’s full body-scanning process. What a coup. PES 2018 branding will also feature on the back of the West London club’s new home, away, third and goalkeeping kits, and will be the main sponsor of the Youth Team’s kit, showcasing Konami’s support of the club and its acclaimed youth system....

Temtem — the upcoming creature-collecting MMO game — has just received a new trailer showing off several game mechanics that “tamers” will have to utilize if they hope to become a top tier competitor. These include breeding new Temtem, using the Synergy combat system, and hunting for Lumas. Although Temtem pulls a lot of its content from the Pokémon playbook, the game is significantly different in a variety of ways. First and foremost is the combat system, which exclusively features 2v2 battles....

The scene: Layers of Fear 2. Your motivation: discovering and, perhaps, accepting the tragedy of your past. You stand alone in a long hallway of a seemingly derelict ship. Glancing inside the various rooms, you see discarded clothes and belongings. It’s as if all the people just vanished. Around you are clues, forgotten artifacts whispering of a life deserted — then rebuilt, time and again. The ship sways and sighs as waves crash against its hull....

Crackdown 3 has been pushed back multiple times since its announcement in 2014, but it now seems the destruction-loving sequel will no longer be met with any further delays. That’s according to an article on Eurogamer this week, which also contains some interesting snippets from Microsoft’s Phil Spencer about the game’s bumpy road so far. In fact, Big Phil shouldered some of the blame for Crackdown 3 being delayed in the first place....

Sprawling Wild West prequel Red Dead Redemption 2 will ship on two discs, according to fresh evidence provided by a Canadian YouTuber. Murmurs that Rockstar Games’ cowboy-’em-up would eat up two Blu-rays emerged last week, when screenshots of the Japanese box art seemed to confirm it would feature two discs. While the game’s developer still hasn’t confirmed as much, these latest shots pretty much speak for themselves. Or maybe it’s just a very clever hoax....

In the world of manufactured anime idols, short skirts are a standard accessory. Most of the time, these magical garments remain loose and flowing just enough to prevent the eye from seeing anything too risque, but sometimes these idol groups contract an artist that goes for realism over fantasy. Which is sort of what happened at the LaLaport Numazu Shopping Center. Last February, the shopping center and Love Live! Sunshine!...

Mads Mikkelsen has said that his character is not ‘the antagonist solely’ of Death Stranding in an interview with TASS (via WccfTech). The nefarious character of Cliff was first revealed in a teaser trailer shown at The Games Awards in 2016. Mikkelsen’s man is decked out in a military uniform and accompanied by skeletal soldiers that follow him with dark, oily tendrils. The way he emerged from the darkness with his undead goons and then smiled sinisterly at the camera… he didn’t seem like a good’un there....

Vice President of Epic Games, Mark Rein, recently spoke at the GameHorizon Conference 2010, giving his opinion on all things handheld. Having recently demoed Unreal Engine prototypes running on iPad, iPhone and Android devices, Rein was quick to boast the positive features of handheld gaming, and even suggested that future incarnations could be powerful enough to play host to games like Gears of War. It’s not hard to imagine, either. Sure, the 3DS may not be able to handle Gears-quality graphics, but give it time, and perhaps we’ll be playing a ported Gears of War 3 on iPad Version 4....

Kabam and Marvel Entertainment have partnered for a second time to create Marvel Realm of Champions, a real-time mobile RPG set to release in early 2020.

Daredevil star Peter Shinkoda says that former Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb made anti-Asian comments to the writers of the popular Netflix series behind the scenes. During a YouTube livestream for SaveDaredevilCon, which aims to add momentum to a potential Daredevil revival, the 49-year-old Canadian actor said Loeb made the writing team drop storylines for his character Nobu and fellow The Hand villain Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) during the first two seasons of the show, because “nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people....

Marvel vs. Capcom is a franchise that seems like it shouldn’t fail. These are two universes with legions of fans and the crossover potential between those fanbases is high. These are two epic worlds being pushed together into one ultimate showdown. With Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite sitting just over the horizon, it is time to look at how the rosters for this fighting series have fared. After all, with literally hundreds of characters to pick from —and bearing in mind the pedigree of the two houses that are bringing their troops into this war— there is no way that there could have been any failure along the way right?...
