Friday 6-1-18: Maxi in Soul Calibur 6, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

I almost forgot to do the news this morning. Oops! Here’s the news.

  • Maxi in Soul Calibur VI
  • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Maxi


Bandai Namco released a new trailer recently, revealing that Maxi, the fatibal flinging fighter, will be in the upcoming Soul Calibur 6. His weapon of choice is commonly referred to as “nunchucks.” He’s a fast and up-close fighter, with what appears to be a preference for grabs. Soul Calibur 6 will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC later this year

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey


Ubisoft announced the next in the stealth action game series. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey appears to be taking place in ancient Greece (maybe Rome, idk). This announcement came only a few hours after a leaked image of a keychain of a Roman helmet with the same title. I suspect they intended to wait until E3 to announce the game, but the leak pushed their hand. Either way, expect more in the coming weeks.


That’s all for today! It’s not much, but thanks for reading all the same. We also released the latest episode of the Cozy Co-op, where I, by myself, talk about the profound emotional experience I had with Getting Over It, by Bennett Foddy. Tune in Monday for a weekend wrap up. Otherwise, have a great day!

Monday 2-5-18: Space Hulk, Assassin’s Creed Hacked, Monster Hunter Rankings, Crash Bandicoot Rumors, and Overgrowth Reviews

Monday is upon us, and with it a weekend of news. Here is that news.

  • Blood Bowl Creators Announced Space Hulk: Tactics
  • Hackers Crack Assassin’s Creed: Origins
  • Monster Hunter: Worlds Top Ranked on Xbox
  • Rumors Spread of Crash Bandicoot Port/New Game
  • Overgrowth Review


Space Hulk: Tactics
Remember Blood Bowl? That nifty turn-based strategy game styled like a fantasy football match? Well the creators of that, Cyanide Studio, have announced that they are making a new Space Hulk game. This game, originally based on a board game, is a turn-based strategy game based on the Warhammer 40K universe, where space marines are clearing out giant asteroids inhabited by hostile life. This new game will not just look amazing but feature multiple campaigns, modes, and factions to choose from, complete with online multiplayer. You can see more details about it on the Official Website.


Assassin’s Crack: Origins
It’s taken popular hacker group CPY 3 months to crack the most recent Assassin’s Creed game. The title had not 1, but 3 different anti-tampering systems in place to keep the game from being pirated, and the delay is a result of that. These systems are most important during a game’s initial launch, so Ubisoft might patch the game to remove them, but its unlikely. It goes to show, no game is uncrackable.


Rankings Hunter: Xbox
The popular dino-destroying RPG has been all the buzz since its release 10 days ago. In this time, it has managed to become the number 1 spot on Xbox’s Top Paid games list, beating out PUBG. This is an incredible achievement. Even more so, in the small times, it’s been out, its already reached 7th place on Xbox’s Most Played list. Give it a few weeks and I’m sure it’ll make its way to the top there as well. Keep in mind that this is purely for Xbox and doesn’t count PS4 sales, and PC’s eventual sales, when it releases this autumnal season.


N.Sane Returns
In the most recent issue of Licensing Source Book Europe, Max Arguile, The seeds of rumors and begun to sow for Crash Bandicoot. Max Arguile, Licensing Manager for licensed merchandising company BG Eye, remarked on Crash Bandicoot and its licensed position in the next few years. He claims that Activision has a 5-year plan, and tells us to expect not only a Switch and PC for of the N.Sane Trilogy but a new Crash game in the following year. It hasn’t been confirmed how accurate this source of information is, but I am recording it for prosperity. Who knows, he may be right.


Overgrowth
I’ve finished a new review this weekend. This time it was for Overgrowth, an action RPG about anthropomorphic animals. You can read the full details of the review here.


Thanks for reading, everyone. Expect to see another review by me here shortly. I’ll give you a hint of what it’s about, just open up your eyes to the extreme possibility. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more of the latest and greatest in video game news. Otherwise, have a great night!
