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…
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
