Palette Town, named after the original Kanto region’s Pallet Town, is found on the edge of the Withered Wasteland. You can visit early, but the game will warn you if you haven’t unlocked Link Play first. Once unlocked, Palette Town becomes your own space for playing alone or with others. It’s also home to unique Pokemon, so you’ll need to explore this area to complete your Pokemon Pokopia Pokedex.
However, there were a few cases that don’t quite fit the pattern. There were talks of a Twins sequel at one point, but it never materialized, so it remains a standalone film. Also, just because Hercules in New York features a well-known character doesn’t automatically make it part of a franchise. Red Sonja can be considered a spin-off of Conan the Barbarian, even though Conan himself isn’t in it. But let’s consider how great it would be to see Schwarzenegger reprise his roles in these actual franchises.
While The War Within added Delves as a completely new type of PvE activity, Midnight doesn’t have one big, headline feature – player housing is the closest thing. Instead, Midnight focuses on smaller improvements, such as new quests, and continuing the main story.
I’ve been thinking about all the awesome games coming out – Monster Hunter Wilds, Resident Evil Requiem, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and tons more – and it’s easy to focus on the developers we see. But there’s this incredible team working behind the scenes that really makes sure each game looks and feels exactly how the creators imagined. What’s amazing is they can pull this off with totally different game styles and goals, without having to completely overhaul how they make games every single time. It’s like they’ve built a super flexible system that just works.
Developed by Graham Yost (known for Speed and Justified) and inspired by the novels of Hugh Howey, Silo takes place in a future devastated by nuclear war. The last of humanity lives in a giant underground silo, once built to store weapons. The story follows Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), an engineer working deep within the Silo. After a death close to her, Juliette begins investigating and uncovers long-hidden secrets that challenge those in power. This sparks a rebellion among the Silo’s residents, and Juliette unexpectedly becomes a leader, taking on the roles of Sheriff and a prominent political figure.
The challenges faced by the Hitman series have ultimately led to success, especially with the recent release of Hitman: World of Assassination, which is now the most popular game in the franchise. This reimagining of the series, launched a decade ago, has cleverly adapted the live-service format. It consistently provides players with fresh content and missions, all while maintaining the immersive world and precise gameplay that fans loved in previous installments. This is the story of how Hitman has grown and why the last ten years represent the series’ peak.
The team behind the live-action One Piece series has a huge amount of source material to work with, potentially spanning decades. However, the actors involved recognize they won’t be able to play their roles indefinitely. Emily Rudd, who plays Nami, told Collider this creates pressure to move quickly with production. Despite the challenge, the cast and crew are enjoying the process and are eager to bring the story to life.
Though classic horror villains from the VHS days still heavily influence the genre and what studios make, a fresh wave of memorable killers has emerged in recent years. Unlike their predecessors who often relied on supernatural powers, these new villains tap into current anxieties and use striking appearances to frighten viewers. This shows that audiences still enjoy the suspense of serial killer stories, as long as the plots feel relevant to today’s fears.
Set 200 years after the first movie, Event Horizon: Inferno quickly establishes its connection to the original film. The unsettling atmosphere that defined the first Event Horizon gradually intensifies throughout the story. By the end, the mission’s purpose and the nature of the threat are both clear, and everything comes together in a very rewarding way.
Sucker Punch has really outdone themselves with this update, and they have a history of doing so. Players who enjoyed the first Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will find a familiar experience, but the addition of Yotei’s unique weapon-switching combat and several new gameplay features make this version even more detailed and engaging.
