Resident Evil Cancelled

Netflix's Resident Evil live-action adaptation is cancelled. The news broke early on August 26, 2022, when Deadline reported that the streaming giant opted not to renew the show. The series, which is loosely based on the Resident Evil games, debuted on July 14, 2022. According to Deadline's report, the show did not perform to expectations. As viewing metrics versus production costs are Netflix's main criteria when making renewal decisions, Resident Evil got the axe. It joins the live-action Cowboy Bebop and Jupiter's Legacy series as another relatively high-profile adaptation killed after a single season.

Before it was cancelled, the Netflix Resident Evil series played out over two timelines: The first in South Africa, where the Umbrella Corporation had set up its new headquarters, and the second in the future, years after zombies had overrun civilization. It starred Lance Reddick (Zavala in Destiny, Charon in John Wick) as Albert Wesker, and his daughters Jade and Billie Wesker (played by Ella Balinska and Adeline Rudolph). Jade was the focus of the future timeline, struggling to survive amidst the ruins and looking for clues as to her sister's whereabouts.

The series debuted on Netflix to lukewarm critical reception, but some praised its references to the dense lore of the Resident Evil games despite having little apparent connection to them at first. Showrunner Andrew Dabb claimed early on that the series is set "in the same world as the games" and in comments regarding the season one finale (which introduced Ada Wong), said that he planned to fold in familiar characters "judiciously and over time". This is all, of course, now a moot point, considering Resident Evil is cancelled.

Resident Evil's first and only season is available to watch on Netflix. Resident Evil Village will receive a story-based expansion on October 28, 2022.

soul hackers 2 trailer

Atlus has uploaded a new trailer for Soul Hackers 2 in commemoration of the game's August 26, 2022 release date. The trailer, which is called 'Beating Heart,' is just over a minute long and shows both gameplay and cutscenes. Most of the trailer focuses on combat sequences and out of context clips.

You can watch the Soul Hackers 2 Beating Heart trailer here:

Beating Heart does touch a little bit on the main plot of the game. The sentient AI system Aion sends Ringo and Figue to the human world in order to stop the apocalypse, and Ringo uses her Soul Hack ability to revive party members Arrow, Milady, and Saizo. During the process, Figue obtains something called the Covenant, which is what the main antagonist is after. Once he collects all of the Covenants, he plans on ending the world.

The trailer also gives a quick look at some aspects of the battle system. You can see Ringo use a Sabbath, which is essentially an All-Out Attack that you can power up with Stacks. You gain a Stack every time you hit an enemy with the element they're weak to. Throughout the trailer, you see the human characters fighting, which is another difference between Soul Hackers 2 and most other Devil Summoner games. Rather than collecting demons that act as party members, demons are like Persona you can equip to your four human characters.

Soul Hackers 2 is readily available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows PC. You can read our review of Soul Hackers 2 here. Here are some beginner tips as well for those starting their soul-hacking journey.

nier automata switch 2b

Square Enix's newest trailer for NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition on the Nintendo Switch features 2B. Aside from showing off the flashy moves you can pull off as 2B, the trailer also shows some of the new outfits and Pod skins that will be available in the game. For example, you can make her Pod look like Mama from NieR Reincarnation.

Aside from DLC content that was available on consoles such as the PS4 or Xbox One, there will be some cosmetics exclusive to the Switch version. The aforementioned Mama skin is likely only for the Switch. NieR Reincarnation went live in 2021, whereas NieR Automata's original release date was 2017.

You can watch the 2B character trailer for the Nintendo Switch version of NieR Automata The End of YoRHa Edition here:

NieR Automata is canonically part of the Drakengard and NieR universe. But one does not need to have prior knowledge of those series to play it. It follows the story of 2B and 9S, both androids from the YoRHa infantry. They and other YoRHa troops are involved in a war against machine lifeforms on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Its popularity helped to push Yoko Taro's name into the mainstream. As of February 2021, Square Enix had sold over 5.5 million units of NieR: Automata worldwide.

NieR Automata: The End of YoRHa Edition is available for pre-order, and it will come out on the Nintendo Switch on October 6, 2022. It is readily available on the PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
