Conquer the World With Tilting Point’s ‘Dracula City Master’ Mobile Game [Trailer]
We’ve been whipping Dracula’s butt for decades now in games like Castlevania. When does Drac get even? Thanks to Tilting Point (the same folks behind Zombieland: AFK Survival), you can do just that with Dracula City Master. Available now on Android and iOS devices, Dracula City Master sees you commanding hordes of hungry vampires to take over villages and cities with the tap of a finger.
Unlike other tower defence games, where your goal is to defeat those who try to defend their city, Dracula City Master has you growing your army as you ransack said towns and villages, converting the humans you encounter into members of your hungry horde. The only way to win is to turn every human into a vampire.
In addition to conquering new cities, you’ll reap spoils and increase the power of your vampire army. That includes upgrading your army with speciality vampires that wield unique abilities.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
