NetherRealm’s Ed Boon Teasing Potential Marvel Title?
While it may very well be Ed Boon up to his typical teases, what seems like a harmless tweet could be the precursor to something more for the studio behind Mortal Kombat and the Injustice series.
With James Gunn announcing the release date of Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3, Ed Boon had this little observation on Twitter:
This only feeds into the recent rumours that NetherRealm is indeed working on a fighting game using Marvel properties. Reported last week by Stealth Optional, noted leaker Daniel Richtman claims that NetherRealm Studios is working on a Marvel fighting game for next-gen consoles. In fact, Richtman states that the title is already in production at the studio.
Again, this is one of those salt shaker rumours that Ed Boon may be seizing upon to mess with people, but you never know.
Just in time for Steam Next Fest, Studio Laaya has pushed a new update for their upcoming psychological thriller, Foghorns Drown. In addition to some subtle graphical improvements, the new demo features more mechanics, more characters, and a longer story. You can also grab the demo on itch.io.
Foghorns Drown casts you as a ferryman, bringing passengers across a foggy lake to a town drenched in mystery and folklore. The old ferryman has disappeared, and a murder has been committed. Coincidentally, you recently experienced a dream where you wandered through the pines, and came upon the body of someone who was murdered. Who is the killer? Why did the old ferryman disappear? Solve the mystery, before it’s too late.
First and foremost, you must tend to your job. You’ll use physics-based interactions to open doors, drag objects, and operate the crank of the ferry to pull it along a rusty old chain. The foghorns have little patience, the ferry must move.
Along the way, the story progresses through environmental clues, dialogue with the townsfolk, and surreal visions. As you progress, the psychological toll begins to escalate as truth begins to blur, and the strange old tales begin to reveal themselves to you. Something in the water demands its toll.
Originally aiming for a June 30 release, the team has decided to push Foghorns Drown to July.
