Some of the most enjoyable fantasy series are actually the ones that haven’t become hugely popular – those that remain hidden gems or achieve cult classic status. If you’re looking for exciting new fantasy shows to watch – including sword and sorcery, urban fantasy, and even horror-influenced stories with compelling characters and plots – keep reading to discover more.
The Predator franchise doesn’t have a lot of video games, and even fewer have been released recently. The newest one, Predator: Hunting Grounds, came out in 2020 and was available on all platforms at the time. It’s a multiplayer game where players, including characters like Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch Shafer from the movies, take on missions in remote jungles while being hunted by a Predator. It was the first Predator game in ten years, but it wasn’t a hit with either players or critics. Sales were low, and reviews criticized it as being rough around the edges and disorganized, though it’s a decent modern take on the Predator itself.
The news was shared by director Jeff Fowler, who has been at the helm of all four films.
So, Battlefield is really doubling down on huge battles in the future, which is awesome! They’re still testing out the Golmud Railway map through Battlefield Labs, and honestly, they’re saying it’s their most ambitious large-scale map yet for Battlefield 6. It’s not just about making it big, though – they want to make sure there are tons of vehicles to use and that the gameplay feels good no matter where you are on the map.
Good news! Toxic Commando takes the classic co-op shooter and adds a fresh twist, making it incredibly engaging. You’ll face waves of zombies brought to life with the same technology that made the enemies in Space Marine 2 so frightening. Mastering vehicles is key to completing missions, and your teammates, though constantly arguing, will keep you entertained and invested in keeping them alive.
Ólafur Darri Ólafsson has been cast as Thor, and now the actors playing his children have been announced. Additionally, Gna, known as the Valkyrie Queen from the game God of War Ragnarök (where she’s a challenging optional boss), will also appear.
Okay, so we’re finally back in Raccoon City with Resident Evil Requiem! It’s awesome to revisit the city that was completely destroyed and changed everything. Seriously, this place gave us so many iconic characters – Leon, Claire, Ada, Sherry, and even the terrifying Mr. X and Nemesis. I’ll never forget those moments, like when Jill Valentine was running for her life through the streets, or Alyssa Ashcroft trying to escape. It’s great to be back in a place with so much history.
If you picture combat in a Resident Evil game, you likely think of the Resident Evil 2 remake – its careful, over-the-shoulder style, and how rewarding precise aiming is, almost like a *John Wickstyle action showcase. Whatever comes to mind, you probably didn’t expect the different combat approaches to work together so seamlessly.
After the initial images were released, some fans wondered if they were created using artificial intelligence. A vague response from Hurst only fueled those theories, and the overall reaction wasn’t as good as the studio hoped. While the show itself may be good, first impressions are crucial. Now, David Jaffe, creator of the God of War games, has shared his opinion on YouTube, adding to the mixed reactions but also expressing confidence in the series.
Okay, so I just saw the Capcom Spotlight announcement and I’m hyped! They’re going to show off more of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, Pragmata, and the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. But the biggest news for me? They’re finally detailing what’s next for Street Fighter 6, and Alex is joining the fight on March 17th! Plus, they’re revealing the winners of the Robot Master Design Contest for Mega Man: Dual Override, which I’m really curious about.
