Marvel Rivals will become a "'moving anime' experience" by 2027, says creative director, as devs evolve past PvP with PvE, Infinity Saga updates, and more game modes
You know Marvel Rivals as the “super hero team-based PvP shooter” it’s advertised as… but not for much longer. Creative director Guangyun Chen has the game’s content planned out through 2027, and he believes it will become something greater. Something almost indefinable.”Our goal is to shift from being ‘just a shooter’ to a comprehensive Marvel ‘moving anime’ experience,” he tells FRVR in a new interview.”What?” says a top comment in a related Reddit thread.Article continues below You may like It’s like some people have never looked at Marvel Rivals, a perfectly straightforward PvP shooter, and sighed to themselves, “If only…
Massive survival game Soulmask hits 1.0, and you can grab its Ancient Egypt expansion for free if you're fast
21 months, 800,000 players, and more than 1,800 optimizations and improvements later, Soulmask 1.0 is here. The colossal open-world sandbox is one of the most packed survival games I’ve seen, and it just got even bigger with its exit from Early Access and the launch of its Shifting Sands DLC. If you’re worried that essentially a day-one paid expansion sounds a bit much to ask, don’t worry; Campfire Studio is giving the Ancient Egyptian adventure away for free to all players who already own the game or buy it at any point within the first month of 1.0. Soulmask is…

Medieval strategy RPG Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord has just launched an extensive new beta built on player feedback. It’s been four months since Taleworlds Entertainment launched its waterborne War Sails expansion, which has so far struggled to match up to the level of affection that the base game earned. In that time, the team has been studying “what’s working and what isn’t,” and has delivered a wide range of changes in these new Mount and Blade 2 patch notes, which encompass both the base game and its DLC. “Our immediate focus remains on the War Sails expansion,” the Mount…
Broken Sword devs showered in $400,000 after promising to drop AI upscaling and draw 55,000 frames by hand for remastered sequel: "No AI, just humans"
2024’s Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars remaster is a broadly well-regarded revival of a classic point-and-click adventure, enjoying overwhelmingly positive Steam reviews even with its use of AI upscaling. But for the devs at Revolution Software, AI was more trouble than it’s worth. They’re ditching the tech for the upcoming remaster of the sequel, and judging by the success their Kickstarter has already seen, fans are happy about the transition.”This game has over 55,000 unique frames of animation, and is created by a team of talented classical animators who have redrawn and reanimated this game frame by frame,” Revolution…
Seeing developers leave a job they love always hurts, and yet I didn’t expect the latest Lost Ark roadmap video to hit me quite this hard. Recent restructuring at Amazon Games saw two of the faces of the MMORPG, community manager Roxanne Sabo and producer Henry Stelter, both depart the company. That left just one member of its regular front-of-camera crew behind, franchise lead Matt Huston, to deliver what he says will be the last video roadmap as the team switches to text articles for the foreseeable future. The three-person team had a great dynamic, and I always looked forward…

While it plays its roguelike autobattling safe, Skull Horde does put a smile on my flaming skeleton head
Skull Horde, the dungeon-crawling, minion-raising autobattler from Bore Blasters devs 8BitSkull, is out today. I like, it, mostly – maybe not as much as Alice B (RPS in peace) appreciated its predecessor’s helicopter-mining, but then there’s enough meat on Skull Horde’s magic bones to distinguish it as more than just another Vampire Survivors reanimation. As the decapitated head of an expired necromancer, you won’t be doing the monsterslaying yourself: that’s what your growing army of equally gross minions is for. On each stage of a run, you’ll invest in new underlings (with trios of each type combining into single, more…
