Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier Game Announced

After the success of the new Planet of the Apes trilogy, FoxNext Games has officially unveiled their plans for a game based off the series. Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier has just been announced by developer The Imaginarium as a game that takes place in the same universe as the films.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is a choice-based, cinematic game similar, from what it appears, to games like Until Dawn and Heavy Rain. From what’s been shown so far for the game, we don’t currently know if we can fully control a character or not. However, the player has the ability to make various decisions throughout the game as both apes and humans. So far, the only confirmed playable characters are an ape named Bryn and a human named Jess. Players are also promised multiple endings and decisions that make a lasting impact, thus there is (hopefully) no illusion of choice.

The game is set between Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes, the last two films in the trilogy. Various events from the two films are promised to be applicable to the story and at least one from the beginning of War is in the trailer for the game. For the sake of avoiding spoilers, I won’t elaborate on this scene.

That being said, it seems to tie very heavily into the new Planet of the Apes movies. This has been the explicit goal of FoxNext Games ever since its creation earlier this year. 20th Century Fox created FoxNext as an answer to popular games based on Fox movies, especially Alien: Isolation. FoxNext’s goal in the game industry is to work with other developers in creating games based off pre-existing Fox movie franchises. Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier seems to largely fall in line with this philosophy.

The developer that FoxNext chose to work with on this game is The Imaginarium, who just recently created a games division. The Imaginarium is renowned for their motion capture work on the new Planet of the Apes films. They’ve also done the motion capture for Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron and for Maz Kanata and Snoke in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The company was founded by Andy Serkis, Caesar in Planet of the Apes, who is reportedly executive producing Last Frontier.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is set to release later this fall for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

There hasn’t been much buzz lately about any new acquisitions in the world of video game intellectual property. According to a recent report, Sony is currently engaged in discussions with a well-funded partner to potentially acquire the renowned film studio Paramount, along with all the exciting possibilities that come with such a merger.

As reported in the New York Times (thanks, ResetEra), Sony Picture Entertainment is reportedly in discussions with Apollo Global Management, an investment firm, as per two sources familiar with the matter. In the past, Apollo had made an offer to acquire Paramount for a minimum of $26 billion, but their bid was ultimately turned down.

The terms of the joint bid are currently under discussion, and there is a chance that the two parties may decide against making a formal offer. Unnamed sources have revealed that Paramount is currently in exclusive discussions with Skydance, preventing any official offer from being made at this time. Investor opposition to the recent deal that Skydance brought seems to have been significant.

The potential impact of such an acquisition is immense. First and foremost, it would introduce adaptations of Sonic and Halo into the expanding media empire of the PlayStation platform holder. Following the announcement, Paramount’s stock experienced a significant 11% surge in after-hours trading.

What are your thoughts on the news? Is there a possibility of Sony acquiring Paramount? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
