     Wanted: Dead is Bayonetta meets Yakuza with zombies

The upcoming Wanted: Dead zombie game is giving us major Bayonetta vibes with a hint of Yakuza thrown in the quieter moments of its new release date trailer. Wanted: Dead's release date is set for February 14, and developer Soleil Ltd showed off an extensive slice of gameplay in the new release date trailer. The hack-'n'-slash combat might be heavier and gorier than we see with Bayonetta, but there's almost no denying the flash, slick moves, and over-the-top style draw inspiration from Platinum's campy witch, albeit with massive guns instead of hair-fueled demon powers.

Following Bloomberg's report on the indefinite KOTOR remake delay in July, people familiar with the project now tell Jason Schreier Embracer has taken the space RPG from Aspyr and given it to Saber Interactive to complete. Schreier's sources asked not to be named, though Embracer may have referred to the development change in its recent financial report, where the media juggernaut said it was transferring one of its AAA projects to another studio within Embracer Group.

Slightly Mad issued a Project Cars delist announcement on Twitter, citing the expiration of existing car and track licenses as the reason for taking the racing game off storefronts. The team will also delist Project Cars 2 for the same reason, though you have a bit of time before both games disappear off storefronts for good. Project Cars' delisting will take place on October 3, and Project Cars 2 will vanish on September 21.

A new screenshot from the Haunted Chocolatier game, a life game from Stardew developer Eric Barone, surfaced on Twitter courtesy of the developer himself, and it looks quite a bit weirder than we expected. In a good way. Last time, Barone shared a progress update image that highlighted subtle changes in Haunted Chocolatier's approach to graphics and environment design, changes such as lightning, detail, and even how it renders clothes. This time, it's a giant bee presiding over a honeycomb hell complete with spikes and other traps.

     Total War Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires impressions

All the statistics about the size of the Total War Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires map, about the number of settlements and regions as compared with its predecessor - they're all just numbers. They're inadequate preparation for actually getting your hands on it. After all the time spent in the previous version of this multi-game mashup, I notice the assumption form that, after a few seconds of scrolling, I would be halfway across the map. It's disorientating to find instead that I'm barely a quarter. It just keeps going.

HoloCure to add first Hololive JP VTubers like Hoshimachi Suisei

The fan-made Hololive PC game HoloCure will receive its first roster update. After launching with only English VTubers, the game will see the additions of Japanese Hololive Gamers and Generation 0 members. The development team has published a new trailer confirming that the update will arrive on September 9, 2022.

The new trailer shows a sneak peek of the new characters that will appear in the update. It includes the Japanese Hololive Generation 0 VTubers Tokino Sora, Hoshimachi Suisei, Sakura Miko, Roboco-san, and AZKi. The update will also add Hololive Gamers members Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio, Nekomata Okayu, and Inugami Korone.

The tweet containing the new HoloCure update trailer is available right below:

https://twitter.com/HoloCureGame/status/1561484560235302913

HoloCure is a fan-made 2D pixel action game featuring Hololive VTubers. Kay Yu released the first public build on itch.io in late June 2022. The free game launched with all eleven VTubers from the English-speaking regions to date, including the now-alumni member Tsukumo Sana.

The development team promised that it would eventually add other VTubers from the Japanese and Indonesian branches. It will start delivering on that promise with the Japanese Generation 0 and Gamers groups in the upcoming update.

HoloCure is available on PCs. Its first major update will arrive on September 9, 2022.

Some of Kiyokawa's most famous roles include Amuro's father Tem Ray in Mobile Suit Gundam, NERV's deputy commander Kozo Fuyutsuki in Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Rachel Alucard's butler Valkenhayn R.

Kiyokawa's voice also appeared in the Japanese voiceovers for several Square Enix games, such as Louisoix Leveilleur in Final Fantasy XIV and Domino, the mayor of Midgar, in Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Motomu Kiyokawa also had important roles in several anime titles that were included in the Super Robot Wars game series.

     Yakuza creator game Toshihiro NagoshiEarlier this year, news came out that the creator of the Yakuza franchise, Toshihiro Nagoshi, formed his own development team after leaving Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio in late 2021. Under this new studio, dubbed Nagoshi Studio, the former Sega employee planned to craft a game that exceeded the scope of the already massive Yakuza titles. Of course, he refrained from revealing any specifics about this new project at the time, and he remains mostly tight-lipped about it to this day. Having said that, the Yakuza creator did recently share a few small nuggets of information regarding his vision for this mysterious new game. This news came courtesy of an interview that Nagoshi had with German outlet 4Players. He stated that his upcoming project will feature a healthy mixture of drama, comedy, and intense violence, much like the Yakuza series. Specifically, he wants the game's tone to resemble that of a typical Quentin Tarantino film, which similarly injects humor to lighten the weight...

Since this is an Early Access release, players should expect the game to have a few rough edges. Slime Rancher 2 will also be missing a few features when it launches in Early Access. Alongside the announcement, series director Nick Popovich took to Reddit to discuss the Early Access launch further.

Earlier in the year, Microids answered the call by announcing a new iteration to arrive this winter. However, Flashback 2 is sadly going to miss its 30-year anniversary, as the game is delayed until 2023. Well, it should be a happy 31st birthday. The unfortunate news was shared earlier this morning on Microids' Twitter account. After thanking fans for their support, the company wrote that it made "the decision to push the game release back to 2023. A more accurate launch date will be shared at a later time."   Microids didn't specify the reason for the delay, nor a release window. The publisher also didn't do the usual thing and explain it'll take the time for polish and squashing bugs. But I'll assume that's what's going to be the play here — most game delays are either needed for these reasons (or for avoiding the ...
