Titan Quest 2 has made its debut in early access, 19 years after the release of the original Titan Quest, and has quickly risen to second place on the list of best-selling games on Steam, surpassing established titles in the market. This new action RPG, developed by Grimlore Games, has captured the attention of players, reaching a peak of 27,099 concurrent players since its launch, highlighting its initial popularity.

A game that is taking the players by storm

With approximately 15 hours of available content, Titan Quest 2 is still in a non-final version. The game currently has an 83% positive review rating among nearly 5,000 users, achieving a ‘Very Positive’ rating. This early success is due to its combination of gameplay inspired by Greek mythology and the nostalgia associated with its predecessor. However, the developers have made it clear that the game still lacks polish and quality of life features that are expected in a final title.

Grimlore Games has planned significant updates every three months during the early access year, noting that this process is crucial for improving the game beyond what the first title achieved. The community’s involvement will be essential in shaping the direction of development, ensuring that Titan Quest 2 can exceed the expectations of its followers.

In the current landscape of action RPGs, Titan Quest 2 positions itself as a direct competitor to Diablo 4, adding an additional incentive for players looking for alternatives within the genre. With this release, the game aims not only to attract fans of the original franchise but also to draw in new players at a time when interest in action RPGs is on the rise.

Ninja Turtles fans are going to eat well in the coming years, because a new game inspired by their latest movie has just been announced.

Both the box office and the audience have shown great interest in it, with many praises. Therefore, it shouldn’t surprise us that this success translates into other associated projects.

In collaboration with Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon, the publisher Outright Games has announced that they are working on a video game based on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Although we don’t have much information about the game yet, we do know that gameplay will focus on teamwork among the turtles and that it will be set a few months after the events of the movie. Furthermore, it will stay true to the movie’s sense of humor and aesthetics and will include characters from the franchise that did not appear in the film.

While they may not be widely known, Outright Games is a publisher and studio specializing in creating video games aimed at the children’s audience. Having worked with licenses such as Adventure Time, Paw Patrol, or Justice League, they produce solid games that tend to perform well in stores.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem game will be released in 2024 with versions for PC and consoles, although we don’t yet know which platforms specifically. And if, for some reason, you want more Ninja Turtles or a darker and more adult version of them, remember that there is a game from THQ Nordic recently announced that will adapt the graphic novel The Last Ronin. So, fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, whether young or old, have something to look forward to in the future.

One of the major horror releases for October decides to postpone itself: it doesn’t want competition

Alone in the Dark announced its delay until next year, arguing the need to polish aspects of the game… and move away from big releases.

If there’s one year that hasn’t seen a break in terms of video game releases, it’s 2023. With games constantly piling up, many have to either delay or advance their releases to avoid clashing with similar games or much higher-profile releases in order to secure a spot where they can gain visibility. Something that is already challenging under normal circumstances becomes even more so in a year where numerous high-quality games are being released. That’s why it’s not surprising that some have chosen to simply move to another year to avoid competing in this hectic race.

That has been the case with the remake of Alone in the Dark. Initially announced to be released on October 25, it has been delayed until January 16, 2024. This is mainly due to the fact that Alan Wake II pushed back its release by two weeks, now set for October 27, to avoid competing on October 20 with two heavyweights: Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

In fact, at THQ Nordic, they haven’t denied that this is why they are postponing their release. While they have stated that they want to use the extra time to polish the game, they haven’t hidden the fact that not competing against other high-profile games and a similar game like Alan Wake II will benefit them in terms of their release.

No wonder, October is poised to be remembered as one of the most jam-packed months in the history of video games. Just looking at the highest-profile games, that month will feature Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Sonic Superstars, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Cities: Skylines 2, Ghostrunner 2, Alan Wake II, and Total War: Pharaoh. Not to mention many other lower-profile games and no shortage of indies, some of which still lack release dates.

The remake of Alone in the Dark is being developed by Pieces Interactive for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. And while we won’t see it until 2024 at least, they won’t have to contend with the wild flood of games awaiting us.

Nostalgia Meets Gameplay: THQ Nordic Drops News of Upcoming Video Game Starring Comic Book Legends

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are going to have a video game adaptation, following the darkest and most popular comic they’ve had in recent times.

Something we wouldn’t have expected not too many years ago is that the Ninja Turtles would become relevant in the world of comics. In addition to reprinting the original comics and having a modern collection that can compete in quality with the best of Marvel and DC, one Ninja Turtles title in particular has managed to create a sensation among fans and non-fans alike. One that, moreover, has today been officially announced to have a video game adaptation.

Steam DOWNLOAD

THQ Nordic has announced that it is developing an adaptation of The Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. Showing a very brief trailer, where you can see nothing more than the title itself, some candles going out and a very Japanese style, they wanted to leave us with long teeth.

Fortunately, that’s not all we know. Particularly since the comic has achieved great popularity since its release. In a dystopian future, three of the four ninja turtles have died and the survivor, dressing and arming herself as a ninja, decides to take revenge on those who have murdered her brothers and brought the world to the brink of collapse. Scripted by Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz and Peter Laid, and drawn by Esau Escorza, Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop and Kevin Eastman, this is a dark, hard-boiled comic that bears many similarities to the original Ninja Turtles comics. All this in five issues, compiled in a single volume published in Spain by ECC.

We also know a few details about the game. It will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. It will closely follow the story of this surviving ninja turtle seeking revenge in war-torn New York and the game will be a third-person RPG action game inspired by the two most recent titles in the God of War franchise.

Does all this sound good? Well, we have some bad news. Don’t expect it to come out soon. The game still has a few years to go before its release, something that is confirmed by the total absence of any kind of date in the trailer. Something that leaves us with long teeth and eager to sink our teeth into this game that promises to give much to talk about in the future.
