Bullet-hell Shooter Demon Throttle Announced By Devolver Digital

It's just the first day of E3 2021, and announcements have been flooding in rapidly. Following the Guerilla Collective Showcase and Ubisoft's Forward conference, Devolver Digital announced a bunch of new games during its Devolver Max Pass Plus event- that's certainly a mouthful. One such game is Dionksoft's upcoming Demon Throttle.

Demon Throttle is a bullet-hell shooter with stylized 8-bit graphics. The trailer, which you can check out below, shows some incredibly stylish cinematics, reminiscent of Hideo Kojima's Policenauts. The game's story revolves around a vampiress and a gunslinger on a revenge mission against a demon.

Demon Throttle will be a physical-only game, releasing exclusively for the Nintendo Switch in 2022. Pre-orders are live on Special Reserve Games' website. With the games industry steadily moving into an all-digital era, Doinksoft and Devolver Digital's decision to go the physical-only route is certainly questionable, particularly in light of scalpers selling consoles and physical games at extraneous prices.


Devolver Tumble Time Is A Free-to-Play Mobile Game Coming Later This Year

Devolver Digital has finally pulled the curtain for many of its upcoming titles during its Devolver Max Pass Plus event. The event itself was a parody of microtransaction-laden game releases as well as the increasingly popular subscription services and live-service models, but developer Npopo has plans of entering the mobile space through its upcoming game called Devolver Tumble Time.

The hilariously self-aware trailer for Devolver Tumble Time showcases some of Devolver Digital's most popular mascots, such as Shadow Warrior's Lo Wang and Serious Sam in a "physics-based puzzle" game. While the gameplay looks quite simple, the character designs are incredibly adorable. The game will be coming to mobile platforms later this year, and pre-registrations for the game are now live.

The Tumble Time trailer is an accurate representation of everything predatory about free-to-play experiences. Devolver Digital seems to embrace the fact, with the game's website making fun of itself with trash can loot boxes. Check out the full trailer below.


Inscryption is a Twisted New Horror Deck-Builder, Launching Later This Year

Devolver Digital have announced Inscryption during their E3 2021 stream. It's the next game from Daniel Mullins, developer of acclaimed indie hits Pony Island and The Hex.

Inscryption is a blend of several genres, in true Mullins fashion. It will combine elements of the roguelike deck-building genre with with puzzles styled like escape room challenges, with a healthy dash of psychological horror thrown in there. Players will "acquire a deck of woodland creature cards by draft, surgery, and self mutilation," which sounds all kinds of twisted (and more than a little intriguing). Check out its announcement trailer below.

Inscryption will launch some time later this year for PC. An exact release date hasn't yet been announced, and there's no word yet on whether it will also launch for other platforms.

During their E3 2021 stream, Devolver Digital announced several new games, including Trek to Yomi and Wizard with a Gunwhile also providing updates on previously announced upcoming releases like Shadow Warrior 3, Phantom Abyssand Death's Door. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more E3 coverage.


Godfall Coming to PS4 on August 10th, Fire and Darkness Expansion and Lightbringer Update Revealed

Counterplay Games' action RPG Godfall is coming to PS4 with a free upgrade to the PS5 version and cross-gen co-op being available. The title goes live on August 10th along with the first (and only) paid expansion Fire and Darkness. It sees players venturing to the Fire Realm and battling new foes.

But wait, there's more. A free content update called Lightbringer is coming which adds a new endgame mode and Cursed Loot, which has conditions for unlocking and using them. Over 40 new loot items will be added along with 50+ Valorplate skins that will help elevate the cosmetic customization. If that weren't enough, the matchmaking beta will also go live, allowing players to group together through matchmaking for the first time.

Godfall is available for PS5 and PC (check out our review here). Fire and Darkness will also be coming to those platforms along with PS4 and is included in the Deluxe and Ascended Editions. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay on the expansion and update in the coming months.


Death's Door Launches on July 20

Developer Acid Nerve's isometric action game Death's Door has been turning heads. Recently, we got a look at some gameplay, and in their E3 stream today, publisher Devolver Digital provided another update on it, and confirmed a specific release date. Death's Door is launching on July 20.

Death's Door has a fascinating premise, and sees you playing as an ordinary Crow that reaps the souls of the dead. When a soul assigned to you is stolen, it falls to you to track down the thief and finish what's, in essence, just an ordinary day job for you.

The combat looks fast paced and frantic, mixing magic, melee, and ranged weapons, and squaring you off against all sorts of enemies, from beasts to demigods. The art style and the setting put together are promising what should be quite an interesting adventure. Take a look at its newest trailer below.

When Death's Door launches on July 20, it will be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.


Homeworld 3 is Now in Production

During Gearbox Software's E3 2021 presentation, Blackbird Interactive confirmed that Homeworld 3 is now in production. No gameplay footage or anything else of note was revealed, aside from some reminiscing about the Homeworld series being the first RTS to have a fully 3D axis.

Homeworld 3 was announced in August 2019 and available for funding through Fig for $1. A teaser trailer was provided but we wouldn't see any more footage until two years later (that too just 28 seconds). Nevertheless, the developer promises to adhere to the classic gameplay elements that made the older games so beloved.

Homeworld 3 is currently in development for PC but it's far from the only title that Blackbird has in development. Its space ship salvaging title Hardspace: Shipbreaker is still in early access while the company announced it was working on CrossFire: Legion, a fast-paced RTS based on SmileGate's FPS franchise that releases in 2022. Stay tuned for more details from Gearbox's presentation in the meantime.


Wizard with a Gun is a Co-op Sandbox Survival Game, Out in 2022

In addition to providing updates on previously announced games (like Shadow Warrior 3 and Phantom Abyss), Devolver Digital also announced entirely new games (like Trek to Yomi). Another one of those is Wizard with a Gun, a co-op multiplayer sandbox survival title that's looking, in a word, fascinating.

So what exactly is it? It can be played solo or with other players, and will see you traversing fantastical wildernesses. Crafting mechanics will entail creating weapons and bullets and the like, but also expanding and decking out your tower, which will serve as your home base. Meanwhile, everything from magical powers and weapons to the whimsical wizards you play as will be customizable. The game is also promising systemic and emergent gameplay, while each of the biomes you visit is going to be procedurally generated, so it definitely seems like replability won't be lacking. Check out the announcement trailer below.

Wizard with a Gun will launch some time in 2022 for PC and Nintendo Switch.


Phantom Abyss Launches in Early Access on June 22

Devolver Digital announced the Team WIBY-developed asynchronous multiplayer game Phantom Abyss last month, and during their recent E3 2021 stream, they provided another update on the game, while also confirming the exact release date for its early access launch. Previously confirmed for June, that's now been narrowed down to a specific June 22 launch date. A trailer also showcases new gameplay. Take a look below.

Phantom Abyss will throw players into procedurally generated temple maps in each match, tasking you to retrieve relics hidden inside of their chambers. Traps, various different kinds of enemies, environmental challenges, and more will be hurdles along your way, while phantom attempts from failed attempts of previous players will also come into play. It sounds interesting, to say the least.

Phantom Abyss is currently only announced for PC, and there's no word on when the game will launch in full- but its early access reveal is right around the corner, so there's that.


Trek to Yomi is a Cinematic Action Game Launching in 2022

During their E3 2021 showcase, Devolver Digital unveiled a brand new game from Leonard Menchiari and developer Flying Wild Hog. Trek to Yomi is a gorgeous, cinematic, sidescrolling action game set in fuedal Japan, and it's looking fascinating.

You will play as a samurai, the young swordsman Hiroki, who made a vow to his master before his death that he would protect his town from all threats. The game sports a black and white colour pallet and Japanese voice overs, and combat that's looking more than a little bit like Ghost of Tsushima. In fact, the game is evoking Ghost of Tsushima in more ways than one. Take a look at it below.

Trek to Yomi launches for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC some time in 2022, though a more specific launch date for the game hasn't yet been confirmed. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more reveals and updates from E3.


Shadow Warrior 3 Gameplay Trailer Showcases Brutal Action

Devolver Digital's E3 shows are always an enjoyable romp, and to kick off their E3 2021 Direct, they showcased another new gameplay trailer of Flying Wild Hog's upcoming first person shooter Shadow Warrior 3. The shooter is continuing to look brutal and packed with frantic action, and traversal, shooting, and melee combat seem to be coming together rather nicely in the game's accelerated action. Take a look at it below.

In previous trailer, Devolver Digital have showcased various aspects of Shadow Warrior 3, including its nasty enemies, its weapons, even more of its weapons, the gleefully excessive gore in the game, and much more. For fans of bloody fast paced shooters, this is looking like quite a treat.

Shadow Warrior 3 is out some time this year for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. No, native versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S haven't been announced, and yes, we still don't know the game's exact release date.


Valorant New Agent Details Revealed: Abilities, Release Date

Valorant New Agent Details Revealed Abilities, Release Date

Recently, Valorant developers revealed some exciting details about the upcoming agent, and here's everything you need to know about it.

Riot Games' Valorant is one of the most popular first-person shooter games. The competitive esports title boasts several maps along with unique agents. Every agent in Valorant flaunts different abilities that are crucial to the gameplay.

Riot promised to release a new agent in each Act; however, there wasn't any new agent in Episode 2: Act 3. Fortunately, the devs confirmed that we'd definitely get a new agent in the Episode 3 update.

Valorant New Agent Abilities

Recently, Valorant released a post to talk about the State of the Agents. Besides talking about future balances for the existing agents, devs dropped some interesting information about the upcoming agent.

Apparently, the agent's abilities will feel familiar to players who love playing traditional FPS games. That's because, according to the developers, the new agent will create "moments where you must rely on your gunplay."

Of course, it's still too soon to assume anything based on that statement; however, we think that a new agent might be able to pause other agent's abilities for a few seconds.

Nevertheless, this is only a prediction after reading the above statement from Riot, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Besides that, Valorant devs also revealed a teaser image for the new agent. And thanks to Floxay on Twitter, we know that the image is titled "Data Transfer." The data miner also revealed a spray from the previous Battlepass, which might be teasing the upcoming agent's look.

Besides teasing some abilities, Riot confirmed that the new agent would arrive with Patch 3.0.

The next major update will kick off Valorant Episode 3, and it is expected to come out around June 22nd, 2021. So, tighten your seatbelt because we'll definitely get more leaks for Episode 3 in a couple of days.

A new Gundam SEED movie is also in the making, which was initially announced back in 2006. The movie is supposed to serve as a sequel to the TV series.

Who is Moon Knight, What are His Powers And What is His Relation to Dracula?

moon knight powers

Oscar Isaac is going to play the questionably great and but extremely powerful Moon Knight for his upcoming MCU series for Disney+, and here are his powers.

Another week, another A-tier actor joins the MCU. This time it's Oscar Isaac of Star Wars fame playing Moon Knight.

This hero is among the more unconventional superheroes out there in the MCU.

Moon Knight suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder and the fact that he derives his powers from an Egyptian Moon god further aggravates the problem.

Read more to learn about Moon Knight and what his powers are.

How Did Moon Knight Get His Powers?

Moon Knight, born as Marc Spector, was a former US Marine-turned-C.I.A. agent. He later left both the organisations with disgrace and became a soldier-for-hire.

During one of his missions in Egypt at a Pharoah's tomb, a scuffle in the crew ensured. Spector was mortally wounded and the crew on his side placed him beneath the idol of the Egyptian god Khonshu. There, his spirit ascended and met Khonshu himself who promised to save his life in exchange of his service.

He returned with his friend Frenchie and now his lover Marlene to New York. They helped him develop the costume and persona of Moon Knight to fight crime.

What Are Moon Knight's Powers?

Spector attributing his powers and abilities to Khonshu are often in question. He himself isn't a reliable source for himself due to his state of mind. Nevertheless, the Moon Knight has superhuman powers such as:

  • Enhancement of strength, endurance, and reflexes depending upon the phases of the moon. The fuller the moon, the more strength he gains. It isn't known whether his strength is mystical or simply self-hypnosis due to psychological instability.
  • Resistance to some psychic attacks due to multiple personalities. Also receives prophetic visions sometimes.
  • High tolerance for pain either as a result of a spiritual gift or simply being numb from years of damage.
  • MORE MCU: Are The Eternals Part of The MCU or The Avengers?

Moon Knight also has general human powers that greatly aid him in his conquest such as:

  • Expert hand-to-hand combat with expertise in various Martial Arts from Krav Maga to Muay Thai. Also an Olympic-level athlete and a skilled acrobat and gymnast.
  • Expert detective and private investigator with top knowledge about the criminal underworld.
  • Expert interrogator who doesn't shy from using military secrets of torture.
  • Pinpoint accuracy as a sharpshooter and can slice a bullet in half with a crescent disc.
  • Mastery over various weapons such as combat knives, chains, brass, knuckles, shurikens, and boomerangs and all types of firearms from pistols to Gatling guns.

What Is Moon Knight's Relation With Dracula?

It is currently rumoured that Moon Knight faces off against Dracula in the upcoming Disney+ series. The two know and mention each other in the comics but their relation skyrocketed in popularity after popular memes around them.

Dracula isn't exactly among the main antagonists faced by Moon Knight in the past, bringing speculations about a tie-in with the upcoming Blade reboot featuring Mahershala Ali given Blade's history with Dracula.

Moon Knight features Oscar Isaac as the titular protagonist and releases in 2022 on Disney+.

  • Narukami Island Grand Narukami Shrine (6)

New Inazuma artwork and lore, April 16, 2021 Update

miHoYo, on the livestream for Genshin Impact 1.5 Beneath The Light of Jadeite, revealed six new artwork for Inazuma. Revealing several areas. We have Narukami Island ith its tall mounains. Then we have the Tatarasuna, Kannazuka area, with two artworks of two different locations. The first one with sakura raining like snow, and the second one showing the Mikage Furnace.

Next, we have two artwork for Yashiori island and its snake skeleton cavern. Lastly, we have the Tenshu castle, or Tenshukaku, in Inazuma City. Where Electron Archon Baal should be residing.

  • CODESGenshin Impact redeemable codes for free Primogems

Official lore (April 16, 2021 update)

Narukami Island: A sight witnessed by al inbound travelers to Inazuma. The Grand Narukami Shrine and Sacred Sakura on the mountain, and the city of Inazuma on the coast.

Yashiori Island: The skeleton of a great snake rests on this island. The presence of evil is palpable here.

Tatarasuna, Kannazuka: The mountain surrounding the Mikage Furnace. Blossoms continue to bloom here, impervious to the effects of war.

Mikage Furnace at Tatarasuna, Kannazuka: The largest smelting facility in all the islands of Inazuma, surrounded by jagged, rocky terrain. War has brought production to a halt.

Tenshukaku, Inazuma City: The residence of the most exalted one in all of Inazuma. Standing tall on the highest point in the city, it watches over all under the Electro Archon's dominion.

The versions of the artwork shown on stream, and published by the Japanese Twitter, also teased a new character from Inazuma. In SD form.

Note that while her identity wasn't officially confirmed, this teased character is definitely not Baal seeing the lore we know (see further below). Moreover, according to several Chinese speakers, this new pink character was described as a "fox" by Zhongli, and was described as a friend of Zhongli and Baal. Lastly, she doesn't look like Mei from Honkai, but more like Yae Sakura.

Our summary of the livestream can be found here. Sadly, we did not get a new update roadmap with Inazuma. But that's better than nothing.

Inazuma reveal on the 1.5 stream? April 15, 2021 Update

miHoYo announced the 1.5 livestream, here's everything you need to watch it as fast as possible. Moreover, Zhongli's Chinese VA teased that "miHoYo will become leakers themselves". Teasing the reveal of a new roadmap, probably pinpointing which update will add Inazuma.

Our original story is found below.

What is Inazuma in Genshin Impact?

Inazuma is one of the seven regions of Teyvat, and the Electro region. Just like how Mondstadt is based on western medieval Europe, and Liyue is based on China, Inazuma will be based on Japan. It'll be an island region located somewhere east of Liyue Harbor on the world map. Main story wise, Inazuma is currently the next destination of the Traveler, and Act II of the Teyvat story.

In the past, miHoYo listed the upcoming regions and story chapters in Genshin Impact:

Act Prologue: The Outlander Who Caught The Wind. Region: Mondstadt (Anemo / wind element). Featured character: Diluc

Act I: Farewell, Archaic Lord. Region: Liyue (Geo / earth element). Featured character: Ningguang

Act II: Omnipresence Over Mortals. Region: Inazuma (Electro / lightning element) Featured character: Ayaka Kamisato

Act III: Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana. Region: Sumeru (Dendro / wood element) Featured character: Cyno

Act IV: Masquerade of the Guilty. Region: Fontaine (Hydro  / water element) Featured characters: Lyney and Lynette

Act VI: Everwinter Without Mercy. Region: Snezhnaya (Cryo / ice element) Featured character: Harbinger Pulcinella

Act ?: The Dream Yet to Be Dreamed. Region: Khaen'riah (no element listed). Featured character: Bough Keeper Dainsleif

  • LEAKS – Latest leaked quests and events

Inazuma release date in Genshin Impact

First off, it's important to note miHoYo did not publish a release date for Inazuma yet. However, it's likely we could hear about a release date estimate soon.

Back when Genshin Impact released, miHoYo published a roadmap for the updates, up to Ver 1.3. In other words, we already knew from the start Dragonspine would be added in 1.2. And that the Lantern Festival was coming in 1.3, Which strongly hinted at Xiao's banner, for example.

However, since the launch of 1.3, miHoYo has yet to publish a new roadmap for future updates. This means we could hear about Inazuma and its release very soon. Once miHoYo decides to publish a new roadmap.

Currently, Genshin Impact is at Ver 1.5, released on April 28. The 1.6 livestream confirmed Inazuma will not be added to the game. So far, the game's updates have happened every six weeks. Assuming this release pace stays identical, it means we'll wait till Version 1.7 on July 21, 2021, at earliest, for Inazuma to release.

Biggest hints, characters, and lore elements revealed on Inazuma so far

miHoYo hinted Inazuma is coming multiple times in the past.

The first Beta Test and Ayaka. Genshin Impact had over three Closed Beta Tests before release. While players were handpicked and selected by miHoYo, any participating player could freely share information, screenshots, and gameplay. Unlike the current Private Beta Tests for future versions, where it's strictly forbidden by NDA to share anything.

The first Beta included Ayaka Kamisato as a playable character. A Sword user and Cryo user from Inazuma. It's likely she will be added to the main game with a banner with the release of Inazuma.

Voiced by Saori Hayami, Ayaka was also in one of the very first trailers for Genshin Impact in September 2019, back when few cared about the game.

  • AYAKA – Latest official teaser for the Inazuma character

Inazuma map leaks

Some players, by datamining content from the first Beta Test, made a possible map of Teyvat judging from that data. Needless to say, the full map will be completely different. And we won't see it anytime soon, it'll probably take years. However, this can give you an idea of where Inazuma is located. Again, we can see it's at the east of Liyue Harbor.

The above mentioned list, listing the regions and their order. This was revealed right after the release of Genshin Impact on September 28, 2020.

DualShockers' interview with miHoYo. Simultaneously with the release of Genshin Impact, back in September 2020, the studio told us regarding the release date of Inazuma:

miHoYo: "Perceptive players will have already noticed the hints that we dropped about the new city in development. We are working hard to bring it to players as soon as we can".

Zhongli's answers at the end of the Liyue Archon quest. With the release of Ver 1.1 in November 2020, miHoYo confirmed in-game for the first time that the Traveler will head next to Inazuma.

Unreconciled Stars event and Scaramouche

With Ver 1.1 and this event, players were introduced to the 6th Fatui Harbinger, Scaramouche, who is likely to be from Inazuma. This is speculation from his clothes and physical features, as miHoYo technically never officially confirmed it.

Seeing Childe was made playable, it's likely Scaramouche, voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara, will get his own banner at some point despite being an antagonist. If he plays a key role during the Inazuma story chapter, he could be added then. Otherwise, Scaramouche might be made playable in a much further update.

The Drifting Bottles and Uyuu restaurant. Dragonspine, which was added with Ver 1.2 in December 2020, included new hints pointing out at Inazuma. If you've explored the whole mountain, you'd have found drifting bottles sent from Inazuma. The bottles most notably mention Uyuu restaurant, which is seemingly one of the key locations in Inazuma we'll be visiting.

Genshin Impact Inazuma release date – How the Electro, Inazuma Archon is linked to it

Baal, the Electro Archon, will be playing a key role in the Inazuma storyline, most probably as the main antagonist. We've learned quite a lot about her in-game, and her different titles: God of Eternity Raiden Shogun, and Immortal Shogun.

However, miHoYo did not reveal any artwork or screenshot of Baal yet. The one thing to note however, is that Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact, another miHoYo game, have several lore links. Several Genshin Impact characters look similar to Honkai characters, or are named after them. And from what we know so far, it's highly likely Electro Archon Baal will look similar to raiden Mei from Honkai.

That's all we have so far. Keep this in your bookmarks as we we'll keep adding more and more details, and tell you as soon as possible once we have a release date for Inazuma. Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5 via backward compatibility, and Mobile. The game was also announced on Switch, but has no release date on the platform yet. If you'd like to discuss Inazuma lore, you can always reach out to me on Twitter @A_iyane07.

  • NEW CODES – Primogem codes from the 1.6 livestream

Genshin Impact 1.6 release date, trailer

The 1.6 update of Genshin Impact, Midsummer Island Adventure, will be launching on June 9, 2021 (June 8 ET). The specific maintenance schedule and launch time will, as always, be revealed a few days before June 9.

New character – Kaedehara Kazuha, support role, voice actor

Kazuha is a Sword and Anemo 5* character from Inazuma. An intro trailer and screenshots from Kazuha's Story Quest were shared. Klee's banner will launch on June 9 with 1.6, and Kazuha's banner will be coming three weeks after it on June 30.

In the official press release, Kazuha is described as a Support character by miHoYo. Explaining how with his Elemental Skill and Burst. Kazuha can buff party members, and crowd control hordes of enemies.

Kazuha's skills, like Venti or Sucrose's Anemo Skills, deal additional Elemental damage if they come into contact with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro. Lastly, by triggering a Swirl reaction, Kazuha can further buff his teammates with an Elemental Damage Bonus for their corresponding Element.

Kazuha will appear in a new Archon quest (main story quest). He is traveling with Beidou and her Crux Fleet, and will give the Traveler clues about the way to the closed-off Inazuma.

In Japanese, Kazuha is voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki (Yuki in Fruits Basket remake).

New weapons banner

New boss Maguu Kenki

Maguu Kenki uses Cryo and Anemo attacks, and can summon phantoms of itself. miHoYo stated in the press release that "it can only be taken down while in close-range combat" perhaps insinuating that it can nullify long-range attacks to a certain degree.

  • INAZUMA – All the artwork and official hints so far

How to get the new Costumes (Skins) for Barbara and Jean, Price

The Barbara summer costume, Summertime Sparkle, will be available for free as you clear its event, Echoing Tales. Once the Echoing Tales event ends, Summertime Sparkle will then be available in the Shop for 1680 Genesis Crystals.

The Jean summer skin, Sea Breeze Dandelion, will only be available through the Shop, for 1350 Genesis Crystals for a limited time during 1.6, and then permanently for 1680 Genesis Crystals:

New events and free 4* Catalyst weapon

The update's story begins with Klee receiving a mysterious letter from "Dodo-King" threatening to take her doll Dodoco away from her. Searching for Dodo-King, players will explore a new, secluded achipelago using boats called Waverider, in search of the mysterious "Dodoland."

By completing all the events, we'll get a brand-new four-star catalyst, Dodoco Tales, and all the materials to fully refine it.

Here's the gameplay trailer for all the new events, including the Waverider (boat event), "Whirlpool off to Starboard" (new Gliding challenge with the Waverider), the Bom Bom tennis mini-game with Klee, and a new event similar to the Contending Tides battle event.

It looks like the boat system is an event-only limited addition.

Genshin Impact 1.6 – System optimizations trailer

Most notably, several repetitive confirmation windows were removed from the game. Leaving a Domain without completing it will be smoother as well.

Serenitea Pot update – Place characters in Housing mode

Genshin Impact 1.6 will let players place their characters inside the Serenitea Pot. miHoYo has previously stated this is only available for characters you actually own.

Characters in your realm will gradually accumulate Character Companionship Experience over time. The increase rate depends of your Adeptal Energy Rank.

That's all the details from the 1.6 livestream. Most of it had leaked beforehand, but I'm personally still looking forward to the boat event. How do you feel about the update so far? You can always reach out to me directly to chat on Twitter @A_iyane07.

Genshin Impact is available on PS4, PS5, PC, iOS, and Android.

Moon Knight MCU Details and His Relationship With The Avengers

Moon Knight MCU oscar isaac

Last year, Marvel announced that the Moon Knight series was in the works for Disney Plus last year. But we had heard very little about it until the recent announcement which confirmed that Oscar Isaac will be playing the role of Moon Knight in the series.

This announcement signifies the arrival of more content for the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the next few years as the franchise continues to expand on streaming platforms.

Marvel's Moon Knight is one of those characters who seem to be inspired by DC Comics' Batman and is certainly more of a weird character.

Who Is Playing The Role Of Moon Knight?

The role of Moon Knight will be player by Oscar Isaac in the upcoming series on Disney Plus.

This was confirmed in a tweet by both Marvel and Isaac with the same line — "We are Moon Knight," which is a direct reference to the character's complex psychology.

Moon Knight And Avengers

In the comics, Moon Knight has fought alongside the Avengers, the Defenders, and other known Marvel hero teams.

It is rumored that Marvel plans to capitalize on the success of Avengers by creating more super-team crossover movies. This includes not only Young Avengers and Dark Avengers/Thunderbolts but also a Midnight Sons movie.

The Midnight Sons will have more supernatural heroes in the MCU joining hands to face the world's darkest and most unsettling threats.

This Midnight Sons movie will probably feature both existing and new MCU characters – including Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Blade, and Moon Knight.

Moon Knight MCU Phase 4

It is already confirmed that Moon Knight will be a part of MCU Phase 4.

Back in February, Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios gave a vague timeline for the production of Moon Knight.

According to his statement, it was suspected that the production would begin somewhere between the end of March and the beginning of June 2021.

If we take Marvel Studios' latest tweet into consideration, this timeline seems about right. And Moon Knight will most likely be released after Ms. Marvel which is scheduled for a late 2021 release on Disney Plus.

Moon Knight Release Date

Currently, there's no word on a release date, but taking the above information into consideration, we will most likely get to see the Moon Knight series on Disney Plus in the first half 2022.

Meanwhile, there are several other Marvel shows on their way soon to Disney Plus. Loki is set to premiere on June 9th and both Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye are scheduled for the later half of 2021.

Joker 2: Will Arthur Fleck Finally Face Batman?

Todd Phillips Joker Joaquin Phoenix

Todd Phillips will be returning as co-writer for Joker 2, but will the sequel finally let Arthur Fleck come face to face with Batman?

The 2019 film presented a darker version of the Clown Prince of Crime through Phillips' unique vision and Joaquin Phoenix's stellar performance.

Joker stood independently from the DCEU and many believed it would remain as a one-off show, but whispers of a sequel with Phoenix on board soon surfaced.

Where did Joker end?

Todd Phillips Joker Joaquin Phoenix Arthur Fleck Arkham Asylum

Spoilers Ahead

Arthur Fleck had a triumphant finale after his descent into madness, where Robert De Niro's Murray Franklin met a shocking end. After Arthur became somewhat of a god in the eyes of Gotham rioters, he was quickly incarcerated within the iconic Arkham Asylum during Joker's conclusion.

With Arthur now locked up – a familiar position for the Joker to be in – questions are now being asked about how Joker 2 will continue his story behind bars. We know that the Joker rarely stays imprisoned for long, but will Phillips lean on the source material this time around?

Could Phillips follow a comic book arc?

If Phillips takes the Grant Morrison and Dave McKean comic Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth into account, we could see chaos outbreak in Arkham. The comic follows the Arkham Knight as he attempts to diffuse a riot within the asylum involving many DC villains, including Two-Face, Killer Croc, and the Joker. 

If Joker 2 began before the riot, we could see a continuation of Arthur's internal struggle during his time at Arkham, where he would eventually provoke another riot that could end with his first confrontation with Batman.

Will Joker 2 have a time jump?

Joker offered a momentous scene between Arthur and a young Bruce Wayne which was beautifully haunting and set up the characters' rivalry. But in order for Arthur to face Bruce as Batman in Joker 2, there would need to be a significant time jump.

Bruce's earliest donning of the cowl was during his late 20s, according to the comics, meaning Joker 2's narrative would need to exist at least 15 years after the events of Joker. This would make Arthur around 55 years old.

Of course, there's a good chance that Phillips will choose to follow his own narrative again, which will only add to the character's original adaptation. But perhaps he'll allow old enemies to meet in his own way, much to the delight of fans.
