The recent Direct presentation was really interesting – it lasted around 45 minutes and showed off a lot about the game, including the racers, their special moves, the different Machines, and some of the tracks. Masahiro Sakurai also gave a detailed look at the returning City Trial mode, which lets up to 16 players compete in a mix of battle royale and mini-games.
According to the developer, one character is sporting a very unique new look. At the same time, another character, Depresso, is experiencing something odd: mysterious figures dressed like him are appearing in the Palpagos Islands. While strange, this update is a big improvement over last year’s, which only included new costumes.
The next presentation for Kirby Air Ride is happening on October 23rd, which is just around the corner! It starts at 6:00 AM Pacific Time / 9:00 AM Eastern Time and will be hosted by Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of both Kirby and Super Smash Bros. This first in-depth look at the fast-paced racing game showed off many of the characters, tracks, and rideable Machines players can expect. You can watch it on Nintendo’s YouTube or Twitch channels.
Eight years ago, the Marvel TV show Agents of SHIELD already showed us how to give artificial intelligence a physical form. In season 4, the AI named AIDA – created by Holden Radcliffe – used the Darkhold (also known as the Book of the Damned) to develop a consciousness. While Radcliffe built her body and other similar robotic forms, it was the Darkhold that gave AIDA something like a soul. Since the Darkhold played a key role in both WandaVision and Agatha All Along, it makes sense that it could reappear in the upcoming VisionQuest series.
To give the Hulk a chance against Godzilla, Bruce Banner was equipped with the technology used to create Giant-Man, making the Hulk incredibly large. The two colossal creatures then battled, with the Hulk noting that Godzilla packed a more powerful punch than even the Thing or Thor. This series has already shown Godzilla defeating a Celestial, a being of immense cosmic power. While Godzilla may have finally found an equal opponent in the Hulk, Banner ultimately discovered that the monster was simply too strong, even for his giant form.
While the Pokémon anime has boosted the popularity of many Pokémon, some haven’t received the attention they deserve. Because the anime often differs from the games and has been running for so long, many Pokémon have been overlooked, and it’s disappointing that some still haven’t gotten their chance to shine.
Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, told Wccftech that while the team initially considered downloadable content for the game, they’ve decided to concentrate all their resources on developing the final game in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy – the third installment – which is what fans are most eager to see.
Monster Hunter Wilds has been running limited-time events since its release earlier this year, ranging from small quests to larger seasonal celebrations. The game’s Grand Hub, a social area for players, has also been decorated for events like the spring Blossomdance. Along with these visual changes, players can earn special rewards during these limited-time periods. Now, with Halloween approaching, Capcom is launching a brand-new event.
The game Planet of Lana was initially released on Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC (through Steam and the Microsoft Store) on May 23, 2023. It later became available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on April 16, 2024.
I just saw a post from Markus Lehto on LinkedIn, and it’s pretty interesting. He talked about how his old team at Ridgeline Games spent one to two and a half years working on the single-player campaign for Battlefield 6 before things changed. For those who don’t know, I remember Ridgeline was led by Lehto himself – he was VP, GM, and Creative Director there – but the studio ended up closing. After that, Criterion Games took over finishing the campaign.
