PCGamesN Sunday, July 17, 2022 7:17 AM  In probably the biggest announcement at Tennocon 2022, Warframe developer Digital Extremes revealed its next game Soulframe - a Studio Ghibli-inspired MMO fantasy game. Now, further details about Soulframe reveal that it'll be an open-world game at launch - and From Software's Elden Ring is "a subject of some conversation." One of the major announcements at Tennocon was that long-time Warframe director Steve Sinclair was stepping down in favour of Rebecca Ford. PCGamesN spoke with Warframe's new creative director about the open-world The Duviri Paradox expansion, but Sinclair isn't leaving Digital Extremes - instead, he's heading up its new game Soulframe. In an interview with the Washington Post, Sinclair confirms that Soulframe's hub world will be open, unlike early Warframe. "I'm chasing that 'short session but high immersion' thing where you sign in and you come out of your yurt and you are where you last signed off," the director confirms. "The world feels like it's been going on without you." |
PCGamesN Sunday, July 17, 2022 7:01 AM  If you're looking to get early Diablo 4 beta access, Blizzard is handing it out to those prepared to pay tribute to the devilish RPG game with a permanent mark upon their flesh. Fans who turned up to the first stop on the Diablo Hell's Ink tour to get themselves a free Diablo flash tattoo were also handed a card granting them "early access to an upcoming beta" for the ARPG and a digital copy of the final game. The Diablo Hell's Ink tour runs from July 16 - September 10, and spans eight locations across America, the UK, Germany, and Australia. Each event only lasts for one day, so if you want to get involved you'll need to make sure that you clear your calendar for it. Each location features a headlining artist - for the chance to get a custom tattoo from them, you'll have to "share your connection to the Diablo franchise" with the game's official Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram pages along with the #DiabloHellsInk tattoo and the code of the participating city that you're planning to attend. If you don't win a slot, you can still get a Diablo tattoo from one of the shop's other artists on a first-come, first-served basis.

PCGamesN Sunday, July 17, 2022 7:45 AM  Digital Extremes has announced Soulframe, a new MMO inspired by the works of Studio Ghibli that is currently in early development status. The Warframe developer has continually pushed new updates for its RPG game over seven years of live service - storied content, quality of life changes, new ways to play with weapons, additional Warframes, and new mounts. With the development team shifting and Rebecca Ford now the creative director of Warframe, the studio has unveiled its next multiplayer game at TennoCon 2022. Soulframe, which was initially speculated about after the filing of a trademark by Digital Extremes in May, showcases an entirely new free-to-play action-hybrid MMORPG from the developers of Warframe. "With Soulframe's worldbuilding and thematic elements, we are really looking to go back to our childhood favorites and pull inspiration from the elaborate fantasy worlds that we fell in love with growing up," says Soulframe creative director Geoff Crookes. The newly announced MMO game draws influence from different fantasy genres and art, but is not solely influenced by western artistry. The works of Hayao Miyazaki alongside other Studio Ghibli projects were mentioned as inspirations for Soulframe's fantastical elements. "Our team is really interested in this idea of nature and humanity colliding and we'll be exploring a lot of those themes through our own lens while playing with ideas of restoration and exploration," Crookes explains.

The Toei Movie Village theme park has opened up a Neon Genesis Evangelion-themed water park event as of July 16, 2022. The full title of the attraction is "Splash! Evangelion Kyoto Base 2022." It will consist of two Angels hosing guests with water cannons. Participants will use items like "Eva Ponchos" and "A.T.F. Shields" in order to protect themselves from the spray. [Thanks, Famitsu!] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm1a-qs318g Along with Angels, there will also be a 15-meter tall Evangelion Unit-01 statue present. For those who want some refreshments at the park, Toei Movie Village will offer shaved ice that comes in an appropriately Evangelion-themed cup.
