The war in Ukraine has understandably caused delays – power outages from drone and missile strikes were a major issue. Adding to this, the team decided to change the game’s genre to survival horror, which presented its own unique challenges. As lead game designer Alexander Gresko put it, creating a survival horror game was a completely new experience for them.
What truly makes the game shine is its supporting cast, featuring both well-known voice actors and comedians new to gaming. ComicBook recently spoke with some of the stars of Dispatch about their experience with the game’s blend of workplace humor and superhero action, how the story’s branching paths helped them develop complex characters, and what kind of games they’d like to see AdHoc Studios create in the future.
This is particularly noticeable with The Simpsons‘ yearly “Treehouse of Horror” episodes. Previous segments have featured Maggie Simpson voiced by famous actors like James Earl Jones, Kevin Michael Richardson, Hank Azaria, and Harry Shearer. However, this year’s special went all out, casting the acclaimed Viola Davis (known for The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and upcoming DC projects) as the voice of Maggie.
Some players have expressed worry that progressing in Battlefield 6 takes too long or is too difficult, but this concern is based on a misunderstanding. The progression system isn’t meant to be a time-waster; it’s designed to make the time players invest feel worthwhile. Battlefield 6’s progression system rewards patience and skill, ensuring that each unlock feels genuinely earned through gameplay. This focus on dedication over instant gratification is a welcome change for the franchise, which had been leaning towards quicker, more superficial experiences.
The popular action game Achilles: Survivor, which came out earlier this year for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, has been a hit with players on Steam, quickly becoming a top auto-battler. Now, Dark Point Games is releasing the game on Nintendo Switch on October 30th, bringing the fast-paced action to even more players. If you enjoyed the ancient Greek setting of Hades 2, you’ll find a lot to love in Achilles: Survivor.
Unlike previous Pokémon games where the goal was to catch them all, Legends: Z-A feels different. While there are Pokémon in the Wild Zones, the game doesn’t have a large Pokedex, and you won’t be challenging gym leaders or exploring a vast region. It’s a departure even from recent titles like Scarlet & Violet. However, once I got to Lysandre Labs, the game reminded me of classic Pokémon adventures, specifically with its enjoyable, compact team hideout dungeon. It felt like a throwback to older titles in the best way.
Darkseid is a major villain in DC Comics, and his power would make him a threat in any universe, including Marvel. While Marvel and DC are different, Darkseid would still face new obstacles and enemies. Despite this, his immense power means he could easily defeat several Marvel villains – here are seven who wouldn’t stand a chance.
Following underwhelming reviews and box office results for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, Henry Cavill’s status as Superman became uncertain. There were conflicting reports about his involvement, but he briefly reprised the role in a post-credits scene for Black Adam after a five-year gap (excluding his appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League). He celebrated the return on social media, but shortly after, news broke that James Gunn and Peter Safran were taking control of DC Studios, effectively ending his comeback before it could gain momentum.
The PS Plus section called “Last Chance to Play” on PS5 has been updated with seven games that will be removed in November. Sony doesn’t announce an exact removal date, but usually takes games off the service on the same day new games are added. For next month, that date is expected to be Tuesday, November 18th.
