Banishers, a very cool but trippy survival game is slated to launch by "end of 2023."

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name sees the return of Kiryu...or the man with no name I guess?

I mean, it's an RGG Studio game. And I can't wait to learn more. Probably at next week's RGG Studio showcase?

So...um...Mortal Kombat 1 looks sufficiently bloody and spectacular. Also, a new twist on the story - Liu Kang the protector god of Earthrealm while Raiden is the lowly acolyte mortal warrior?

Also, good god I love all these fatalities. Hiding a pivotal character behind a pre-order bonus like Shang Tsung is a bit of a miss, though.
