Heart v Hogwarts

Last week developers of retro futuristic soviet action roleplaying game Atomic Heart released what we regarded as a clever advertisement taking aim at their biggest competitor, fantasy action roleplaying game Hogwarts Legacy set in the Harry Potter universe.

This week one website, True Achievements, is claiming some degree of success but this is definitely one of those instances of lies, damn lies and statistics.

The Atomic Way

Here's something we weren't expecting - a live action trailer for retro futuristic action roleplaying game Atomic Heart starring Jensen Ackles (The Boys, Supernatural).

Mocking ineffectual wizardry by showcasing some of the game's technological weaponry. Fantasy counterpart Hogwarts Legacy set in the Harry Potter universe is currently topping sales charts.

Marvel Success Flop

We have long expressed the view that tactical card roleplaying game Marvel's Midnight Suns might have been tailored for too niche an audience.

Now the verdict is in. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier hails it a critical success but commercial flop and reports Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick pointing blame at timing.

Rubicon Rises

FromSoftware's fantasy action roleplaying souls-like Elden Ring was one of 2022's major hits so when they finally unveiled the long rumoured Amored Core VI at The Game Awards in December with a trailer and a 2023 release date, that was huge.

Great trailer but no info. Until Now. At the Tapei Game Show producer Yasunori Ogura gave an interview (video - transcript).

Jedi Pushed Back

Action adventure souls-like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's release date has been pushed back six weeks from March 17 to April 28 with the standard polish reason.

Curious that they didn't delay another week until May the 4th, Star Wars Day.

The Day Delivers

Previously second most wishlisted game on Steam behind Hogwarts Legacy and ahead of Starfield, open world zombie apocalypse multiplayer shooter The Day Before recently delayed its release from March 1 to November 10.

Cries of the game being fake abounded. We paid them no mind but skeptics now have a 10 minute gameplay trailer to chew on.

Futuristic, high tech post-apocalypse.

Looks stunning, informs without boring and leaves you eager to play it.
