Onimusha’s Success and Final Fantasy 7’s New DLC
Capcom’s revival of the Onimusha series with “Onimusha: Way of the Sword” has seen a strong start, selling over one million copies across various platforms, according to Eurogamer. This success could breathe new life into the once-dormant series, possibly paving the way for future installments. Meanwhile, in the realm of RPGs, “Final Fantasy 7 Revelation” is set to expand with new story DLCs featuring fan-favorite characters Sephiroth and Vincent. As GameRant reports, these expansions were revealed shortly after the game’s release date, suggesting Square Enix is keen to keep players engaged with ongoing content.
Developments in Gaming World and Rumors
Riot Games is making waves with commentary from co-founder Marc Merrill, who spoke about their upcoming MMO project. Touted as “the grail” in development, the project gains heightened attention following the sudden cancellation of their fighting game 2XKO, as reported by Eurogamer. This MMO’s success is crucial for Riot, especially in light of recent industry shifts.
Amid this, whispers of a potential “Killzone” remaster have surfaced. Polygon mentioned that Guerrilla Games could collaborate with People Can Fly, the studio known for titles like “Bulletstorm”. While definitive confirmation is absent, the suggestion has been enough to stir excitement among long-time fans of the franchise.
Pop Culture Crossovers and New Releases
In entertainment crossovers, Amazon’s adaptation of God of War took a new turn when Ryan Hurst had to step down from the role of Kratos due to an injury. Dave Bautista has now taken on the role, with Game of Thrones’ Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson stirring the pot by openly expressing his interest in the role through social media, as detailed by Gamespot.
For fans of wizardry and whimsy, the beloved “LEGO Harry Potter Collection” is set for yet another iteration, now heading to the Nintendo Switch 2. This upcoming release continues a long tradition of porting the magical combo of Years 1-4 and 5-7 to new platforms, noted by GameRant. This stands to further reach a diverse audience and introduces the series to a new generation of players.
