The reveal trailer for Resident Evil: Village , also referred to as Resident Evil 8 , may be the most atmospheric of the year, and it also could be the one with the biggest and best surprise ending. The nearly three-minute-long video shows off horrifying imagery and gameplay, with moments that make the hair on the back of one’s neck stick up. The visuals, sound effects, and quality are good enough to make the list, but the ending is what solidifies it. Watching long-time hero Chris Redfield seemingly cross to the dark side has eyebrows raised, interested and ready to see how the story combines with the beauty show before
According to lore, Aatrox is one of the strongest champions in League , and he actually shares a lot in common with Kratos because he is technically Runeterra’s God of War. Aatrox is a corrupted Ascended being who was sealed within a massive sword, and he is still the strongest of the Ascended despite his current f
Though it’s only been a week since Arcane Season 2 Deaths 11 officially started, League of Legends players were immediately shaken by the announcement that the Ruined King, Viego will be playable soon. But while everyone waits for Viego to take his place in the champion roster, there are more significant lore implications now that the legendary figure is coming to Summoner’s R
Lore continues to expand and grow alongside the popularity of Apex Legends , which still boasts several million active players and is consistently a top 20 game on Twitch. With each new character and season has come new cinematics and lore entries detailing the world of the popular battle royale title. Now, Respawn Entertainment and EA have the opportunity to potentially expand the Apex Legends world outward into various other gameplay experiences. There’s enough lore and background material that could make a similar expansion plan feasible, but it’s unclear if Apex Legends ‘ lore has as much staying power as League of Legends d
Considering Apex Legends takes place within the larger Titanfall universe , there’s already plenty of lore for expanded games to draw from. With the IMC/Milita conflict chronologically occurring decades before the events of Apex Legends , a lot has already happened. It is possible additional spin-offs could return with another Titanfall game, whether it’s a prequel or sequel, to detail further events of the Frontier War. There’s also plenty of potential in the Apex Legends storyline, outside of the battle royale’s existing lore. Character-specific stories like a stealth-oriented/ Hitman -style game for Revenant, or perhaps a single-player first-person shooter detailing Bangalore’s time with the IMC Armed Forces, these could certainly do well for Apex Legends fans in the right cont
Karma is an interesting case because she was able to fight off her initial possession in the cinematic only to be Ruined once more off-screen. On the other hand, Draven and Shyvana show the Black Mist reached much farther than the on-screen areas of Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia. While this opens the door for many older champions to get their first skin in years , it is another way to bring those who are unrelated to the Shadow Isles conflict or had their initial stories finished back into lore relevance. With many players fearing the ultimate fate of their favorite champions, hopefully they can be freed from the Ruined King’s grasp in due t
Shaco can now dash through an enemy and deal damage to them without warning. It also reduces the target’s armor and pairs perfectly with Shaco’s passive that deals bonus damage when he’s behind an en
Thankfully, due to its beautiful gameplay, how it reimagines these characters, and manages to showcase how it builds on so much fan-loved lore, and more, the trailer its breathtaking. And now that the game is out, the eventual Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel may be better thanks to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity in many w
Darius is one of the game’s better top laners , and he happens to be one of Noxus’ greatest warriors. He wears a gleaming suit of armor and wields a giant axe which he uses to cleave his enemies, and if the initial blow doesn’t put them down, then the bleeding effect that it causes definitely w
It’s not always easy to do a cinematic trailer right. When it comes to the reveal of a game, fans can quickly get annoyed when seeing a CGI cinematic instead of in-game gameplay, as they wonder who much of the trailer will represent the final product. However, Far Cry 6 ‘s cinematic reveal manages to capture the best of the best a CGI trailer can offer, subtly showing Giancarlo Esposito in the role of Anton, revealing a beautiful paradise at war, and taking the franchise’s basic approach to a whole new level. The video is tense, emotional, and ends with a cliffhanger, potentially setting the tone for what Far Cry 6 will
A prophecy states that Aatrox will destroy all life by himself, and under normal circumstances he and Kratos would probably kill each other, but if he enters his demonic form, he will gain an advantage because he will receive extra damage, movement speed, and heal
