Telltale creating Marvel game series
Telltale have managed to get their hands on a lot of properties over the past few years. We’ve had point-and-click games based off of The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Borderlands, Fables and even Minecraft, and now, they’ve secured another partnership with none other than Marvel. Yes, that Marvel.
So far, all we know is what was written in the developer’s blog post concerning the partnership:
“Announced this evening in San Francisco, we’re excited to reveal an all-new partnership with the incredible team at Marvel Entertainment. We’ll be teaming up on the development of an upcoming Telltale game series project set to premiere in 2017! As always, stay tuned here for the latest news and details on this and all of our upcoming projects as they become available…”
Despite the little info we have, this is still cause for excitement and speculation. Marvel has an almost endless supply of characters, worlds and stories to draw inspiration from, whether it be from the comics, the movies or the TV shows. There are so many possibilities to consider.
Could it be an Avengers game, giving players the chance to interact with the likes of Iron Man, Thor and Captain America? And could that extend to characters who have yet to appear in the films such as Black Panther? Could it be based on the recent Daredevil show and have you control Matt Murdoch in both the courtroom and the seedy underbelly of Hell’s Kitchen? Or maybe an Agents of Shield game, allowing the player to team up with Phil Coulson and his squad as they combat Hydra, aliens and their own breed of supervillains?
Again, this is all just speculation but there are so many ideas to choose from. This partnership could potentially guarantee Telltale new videogames to create for the next ten years at least based solely on Marvel properties. It’s doubtful that would happen given the company are still working on their aforementioned Minecraft game as well as The Walking Dead: Season 3.
It’s going to be a while until we get any new info considering the game’s 2017 release. Until then, we can only wait with bated breath.
Love Is a Long Road, the Tom Petty song in the GTA 6 trailer, saw a 36,979% stream increase after Rockstar’s reveal this week. Week-on-week Spotify data suggests that, but we’re sure it’s trending similarly on Apple Music and others.
Rockstar and the streaming service released an official Grand Theft Auto Radio playlist with six hours of hits from ZZ Top, Dr. Dre, Megadeth, and others. You can hear it here. Ever wanted to listen to Tom Petty this week?
This week’s Game Awards—what to expect? Geoff Keighley is keeping most announcements under wraps, but he has teased an update on Atlus’ long-awaited Metaphor: ReFantazio. The Persona team’s latest project may be released in 2024, according to rumors.
The title returned this summer after being revealed eons ago, but details are scarce. A new trailer should show more story, gameplay, and systems, as well as a possible launch date. Want to see more of this? The link will tell you when the Game Awards are.
If you play video games, you’ve probably played Skyrim, Bethesda’s decade-old open-world RPG. It’s become a meme after endless rereleases. The company wants to sell paid, player-created mods again after not getting the message from players.
Bethesda tested selling Skyrim mods on Steam in 2015, generously giving modders 25% of the proceeds. After Steam’s 30% platform fee, Bethesda would receive 45%, the “current industry standard.”. After fan backlash, Bethesda removed paid mods, and Steam refunded all purchases.
In subsequent years, Bethesda’s Creation Club added user-created content to Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, requiring that it not violate lore. Bethesda could also release official Creation Club content on PlayStation.
The developer revealed Bethesda Game Studios Creations and a major update for the oldest RPG today. Players can still upload free mods, but creators can now apply for the Verified Creator Program. Certified modders can charge for their work. Since paid moderators no longer have lore-friendly restrictions, expect chaos.
This is already upsetting the community, and the line between official Creation Club content and moderators is blurring. The fact that paid mods disable PlayStation Trophies but not free Creation content is a disaster.
What do you think of Skyrim’s sorry state? Still playing? How’s the PlayStation Creation Club content?
