Bloodstained Ritual of Night Trailer Side Scrolls Its Way to Hell & Back

Bloodstained Ritual of Night is a new game from Koji Igarashi. A new trailer was released today that shows off a new map called Church as well as game play action.

Bloodstained Ritual of Night

In the game, players take the role of Miriam who lives in 18th Century England. She is cursed in a way that is turning her skin to crystal. She finally falls into a coma only to wake up a decade later.

Today’s trailer is a step forward for the game. Church is a much more refined map than those shown in earlier demos. Miriam is shown using a number of skills including Spear Throw, Resist Holy and Optimizer. Additionally, she is shown using several weapons such as a Whip, Rapier and Katana. Lastly, viewers get a look at Bloodless, a never-before-seen boss.

For those who do not know, Igarashi is best known for his Castlevania series. This time, he brings his gothic touch to a side-scrolling game in a completely new universe but one that will undoubtedly be familiar for fans.

Warhorse Studios Announces Release Date for Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Warhorse Studios has announced the release date for Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The game will be out in the Americas and Europe as well as the PAL region on February 18, 2018.

Warhorse Studios & the game’s delay

Developers originally wanted to release the game in Fall 2016. It was delayed, however, to Fall 2017. Once again, it seems the game will come out a bit later. Devs have said that they need a bit more time with the game to make sure it is at its highest quality.

No matter what, it is nice to have the sting taken out of the announcement with a brand new trailer. In the video, the game’s story is shown.

ESL to Showcase Quake Champions in the E3 eSports Zone

ESL & Quake Champions

During the event, viewers will see a pair of PvP game modes including 2v2 Duel mode and 4v4 Sacrifice mode. Professional players will game against one another as well as in matches called “Pros vs Joes”. In the latter, E3 attendees can fight against professionals.

Duel mode introduces an additional layer of strategy to Quake Champions, incorporating multiple Champions with differing Abilities. To start, players will select three Champions in a snake-style draft before heading to the Arenas. In choosing their roster, players will have to consider which Champions are better suited to their unique playstyle and which are effective counters to their opponents' choices.

Lastly, professional teams will be on hand including Team Liquid.

Is Blizzard making a new FPS?

Is Blizzard making a new FPS?

It seems that Blizzard is hiring for an unannounced project, and early hints imply that it could be another first-person shooter. As pointed out by VG247, the veteran Irvine studio is currently posting several jobs for unannounced projects. But at least two seem to imply that the studio’s work is geared towards first-person action games. In other words – shooters.

But could it be something more? Blizzard’s own take on Battle Royale? Blizzard’s attempt to do a DayZ type game? Maybe a narrative exploration game? Chances are it’s another shooter, perhaps even one based on the Overwatch IP (who wouldn’t want a Tracer-starring game?). Rest assured, you’ll know when the rest of the world knows. Perhaps as early as BlizzCon 2017?

Pair of Pre-Order Exclusive Characters Added to Agents of Mayhem

Lazarus and Johnny Gat (Saint’s Row: Gat Out of Hell) are the two newest heroes announced for Volition’s upcoming Agents of Mayhem. A sprawling, single-player, open world action game where you swap between three heroes at will, Volition has been slowly but surely unveiling the game’s cast of characters over the past months.

Thing about Lazarus and Johnny Gat? They’re exclusive to those who pre-order Agents of Mayhem. Check out the trailer for Gat below, and make the decision to pre-order or not. You can do so here.  It’s out on August 15th for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

About Lazarus:

True to her half-machine heritage, digital pre-order purchasers of Agents of Mayhem will be receiving a brand new Agent, Lazarus. This exclusive character, Lazarus, is a merging of woman and machine; the top rung of the evolutionary ladder. As an agent of MAYHEM, she encounters an endless stream of competitors ready to challenge her for that distinction. While she's evolved beyond her own humanity, she still has a great love and respect for humankind as a whole. MAYHEM allows her to watch over those quirky human beings whose flaws and peculiarities continue to fascinate her to this day.

Johnny Gat’s Trailer (set to the Flash theme song, which is awesome)
