Norman Reedus Once Again Drops Hints of More ‘Death Stranding’
While we’re still not sure if Norman Reedus is taking a cue from Hideo Kojima in terms of teasing fans, Reedus has nonetheless dropped more insinuations that he’s in it again for Death Stranding. This latest news comes from an exchange during a roundtable discussion about the 11th season of The Walking Dead, as reported by IGN Brazil.
During the roundtable, Reedus quipped to a reporter from Brazilian site AdoroCinema that “I think we’re doing a second Death Stranding… [the game is] in negotiations right now. So… yay!” This isn’t the first time Reedus has dropped hints regarding Death Stranding, as he let loose a tidbit last year during an interview with Wired.
Of course, Hideo Kojima is being the enigmatic Hideo Kojima regarding his next project, which may or may not be a horror game. There’s also the rumour that he’s enlisted Junji Ito for the project, as well as word from Kojima Productions’ studio art director Yoji Shinkawa that Kojima will be revealing the new project “quite soon”.
Until then, take your salt. Death Stranding Director’s Cut arrives on the PlayStation 5 on September 24, 2021. The original Death Stranding is available via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the PlayStation 4.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
