"Remember Eli Roth's Borderlands movie? Gearbox Software is probably hoping you've memory-holed that box-office bomb based on this franchise when it releases this latest entry in its looter-shooter franchise. Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford promises it will be " badass af." Konami's survival horror series is finally heading home to Japan with Silent Hill f, the first new mainline Silent Hill game in over a decade and the first to not take place in New England."
"The follow-up to 2020's Game Awards Game of the Year nominee Ghost of Tsushima trades the Japanese island Tsushima for the Japanese mountain Yōtei. Ghost of Yōtei appears to be just as influenced by samurai cinema as its predecessor, bringing back its grainy, black-and-white "Kurosawa Mode." As you might have guessed given the current media landscape, a film adaptation of Ghost of Tsushima is in the works."
"Pokémon Legends: Arceus sent players into the past, bopping around the game's Hisui region inspired by feudal Japan. The second entry in the Legends series, Z-A trades the past for the future, taking place in the Paris-inspired Lumiose City as it's undertaking an "urban redevelopment." Most notably, though, this Pokémon ditches turn-based combat for real-time battles. It's a brave new world out there, trainers."
Gearbox is releasing a new Borderlands looter-shooter entry after the franchise's film adaptation underperformed, with founder Randy Pitchford promising it will be " badass af." Konami is releasing Silent Hill f, set in 1960s Ebisugaoka, Japan, and leaning more heavily into combat than previous entries. A follow-up titled Ghost of Yōtei moves to Mount Yōtei, embraces samurai cinema influences, restores a grainy black-and-white "Kurosawa Mode," and has a film adaptation in development. Pokémon Legends Z-A shifts from feudal past to a futuristic, Paris-inspired Lumiose City and replaces turn-based combat with real-time battles. A walking lighthouse adventure and a Katamari console return complete the slate.
