MARVEL GAMES REVEALS ORIGINS OF GRAND UNIFIER RAKER IN MARVEL’S GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 

New cinematic from Eidos-Montréal is enhanced with audio commentary from Marvel Games’ VP of Creative, Bill Rosemann, giving insight to the lore for a potential new threat

SYDNEY (August 26, 2021): Marvel Games VP of Creative Bill Rosemann lends his expertise to give fans a greater understanding of Grand Unifier Raker and the Universal Church of Truth, both unveiled yesterday in the new Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy cinematic.In this video, Bill, the former editor of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book from 2008 – 2010, explains the origins of the cybernetically-enhanced zealot and the enigmatic organization, both intent on bringing the so-called “Promise” to the whole galaxy.

Watch the cinematic with Bill Rosemann here:

This cinematic sees Star-Lord and his crew come face-to-face with the menacing Grand Unifier Raker, flanked by two of his imposing bodyguards, the Inquisitors. Despite being shot at by Rocket, Grand Unifier Raker is (currently) not interested in harming the Guardians, and instead wants to introduce them to the mysterious Matriarch. The dramatic scene closes with the Universal Church of Truth’s colossal starship entering the fray, swallowing the Hala’s Hope whole and capturing our Guardians.

Bill Rosemann says: “Collaborating closely with the team at Eidos-Montréal generated the incredible opportunity to delve into the Marvel archives, tap into some of our deepest cuts, and bring to life characters not previously seen outside the pages of classic comic books. Grand Unifier Raker, the Universal Church of Truth, and previously revealed characters like Lady Hellbender and Cosmo are just a taste of what fans should expect from this game, where decades of Marvel stories shaped this new universe. It’s original, it’s outlandish, It’s 100% Guardians!”

NVIDIA revealed the cutscene with their Gamescom 2021 announcement that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will launch with NVIDIA DLSS and Ray Tracing for PC, and be available to play via GeForce NOW, NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will be available on PlayStation®5 console, PlayStation®4 console, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, and PC digital, and streaming via GeForce NOW on October 26, 2021.

Become the Mighty Lamb of God in Cult of the Lamb, Ascending in 2022

Start a Cult, grow your flock, cleanse the non-believers. Repeat.

Charismatic developer Massive Monster and their faithful followers at Devolver Digital have announced Cult of the Lamb, an adorably dark game about running a cult in a crumbling world of ritual and ruin, utilising a powerful gameplay loop of base building and dungeon crawling. Revealed during today’s Opening Night Live showcase, Cult of the Lamb will begin recruiting loyal worshipers ahead of its launch in early 2022 for PC and consoles. 

Cult of the Lamb casts players in the role of a possessed lamb saved from annihilation by an ominous stranger, and must repay their debt by building a loyal following in his name. Start your own cult in a land of false prophets, venturing out into diverse and mysterious regions to build a loyal community of woodland worshippers and spread your Word to become the one true cult. Every excursion into the sprawling realm reveals increasing hordes of new and more dangerous enemies, as well as rival cults whose influential leaders must be defeated in order to absorb their power and assert your cult’s dominance.

On returning to your base you must fulfil the needs of your followers in order to receive their devotion. Use resources to build new structures, perform dark rituals to appease the gods, and give sermons to reinforce the faith of your flock. As their devotion to you grows, so too will your power, allowing you to venture further into the mysterious forest and discover more of its dark secrets.

The decisions you make as leader will determine how your followers see you – will you be loved or feared? Follow the herd to cultofthelamb.com and @MassiveMonsters on Twitter.

THE OUTLAST TRIALS – RED BARRELS DEBUTS FIRST GAMEPLAY TRAILER AT OPENING NIGHT LIVE

Subjects are required to present themselves for testing in 2022

About Outlast
Hell is an experiment you can’t survive in Outlast; a first-person survival horror game series developed by veterans of some of the biggest game franchises in history. Critically acclaimed for its immersive atmosphere, sound design and full-frontal scares, the series soon became the leading horror game experience of its generation. The rules of the Outlast universe are simple – run, hide or die trying.
 
Outlast, the original release, begins with an intriguing anonymous tip that leads you to explore the dark heart of Mount Massive Asylum, home to the secret experiments of the Murkoff Corporation. Whistleblower, the DLC continuation, tells the backstory to the atrocities found in Outlast and stretches past the events of the first game to show the final bloody chapter in Mount Massive Asylum’s story. Outlast 2 places you deep in the wilderness where you discover the residents of Temple Gate and a corruption so profound that going mad may be the only sane thing to do.

Wednesday, August 25, 2021 (Saskatchewan, Canada)… Noodlecake and Drastic Games are proud to present, in collaboration with Gamescom Opening Night Live, the all-new gameplay teaser trailer for rhythm-based combat game Soundfall.

Soundfall is a rhythm-based, looter shooter dungeon-crawler accompanied by a massive, multi-genre music library of tunes. Blast, hack ‘n’ slash your way through levels and enemy encounters that are actually procedurally generated to the beat of the music.

“We are excited to release the new Soundfall teaser trailer alongside Noodlecake’s collaboration announcement with Drastic Games,” said Ryan Holowaty, COO of Noodlecake. “With Soundfall, we’re turning the challenge dial up to 11, and look forward to gamers experiencing a new universe of music and breathtaking rhythm-based combat as they defend Symphonia from the forces of Discord.”


About Soundfall

You play as Melody, a Guardian of Harmony – a musical guru mysteriously transported to Symphonia by the Composers to battle the forces of Discord. Under threat, Symphonia – a world where music comes to life – you fight your way through the corrupt Timbrelands, eradicating Discordians and restoring Harmony to the environment while wielding powerful abilities, legendary weapons and endearing allies in the race to restore balance.
