A New ‘Devil May Cry’ Game…in China?
With Capcom rumoured to be working on Devil May Cry 5, this piece of news comes as a bit of a surprise. Well, given the Chinese market, maybe not.
According to MMO Culture, Yunchang Game, a Chinese game studio and publisher, has obtained the IP rights from Capcom to develop the first mobile game based on Devil May Cry. Devil May Cry: Pinnacle of Combat is a mobile action RPG expected to launch in China in 2018. The game will be using the Unity engine, and will include online modes such as team battles and real-time PVP.
This isn’t the first time that Capcom has loaned out one of its IPs for use in mobile gaming. Korean-based game developer Jenoi was commissioned by Capcom to create a mobile game based on the Mega Man series entitled Rockman GoGo!. Unfortunately, the end result was less than spectacular. However, the amount of revenue generated in Asian countries like China and Korea from mobile gaming is crazy, so it’s no wonder why Capcom would do this.
And yet, for the rest of us, we wait for Dante’s real return…
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
