Don’t Be Surprised When All You Need Is Kill… and Hope It Doesn’t Lead to Stranger Things

A new animated take on All You Need Is Kill finally brings the time-loop war story back to its roots, with Studio 4°C style and a sharper focus than the Hollywood version. The trailer suggests something leaner, stranger, and a little too close to Stranger Things for comfort.

Back in 2014, a live-action adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s light novel All You Need Is Kill arrived as the blockbuster Edge of Tomorrow. Whether that version worked depended on how much affection you have for Tom Cruise or Emily Blunt. I won’t go there. What matters is that the story is finally being adapted and given the respect it deserves, rather than letting it be shaped by Hollywood’s elite. That alone feels like a game-changer.

GKIDS has picked up the licence for the North American release following its Japanese premiere, and this time the focus stays where it belongs. The premise is simple. In the original book, Keiji Kiriya is a lonely soldier boy caught in a time loop, and the only way out is to change something fundamental. What, exactly, is the mystery?

By Thunder, Is Twilight of the Gods Signalling Another Ragnarök?

There’s no denying that Twilight of the Gods is a take on the end of days, and my question is that will there be an epilogue like in Lord of the Rings?

Twilight of the Gods Official PosterTwilight of the Gods is coming to Netflix, and for fans who love Norse mythology, this series looks bold and epic! Zack Snyder, Eric Carrasco, and Jay Oliva are creative minds behind this reimagining of the sagas, and if the title is any indication, it’s safe to say it’ll lead up to Ragnarök!

The Stone Quarry and Xilam Animation are the studios involved in crafting this animated look, and if I had to guess, they are borrowing from Cartoon Saloon’s style, and that’s very good! Eight episodes are planned, and although the information is light, when the end is nigh, it’s doubtful more will be offered afterwards.

There’s two trailers, and while the first one is quite tame (featured below), the red band version shows the extent in how violent this war is going to be! Just when I thought the live-action series was it, I’m glad to say there are other takes, and this animated take will debut September 19, 2024!

Retro gaming cannot get any more frightening with TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity, a 2D rogue like action-platformer.

TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity on SteamRetro gaming cannot get any more frightening with TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity, a 2D rogue like action-platformer. This game is set in a regenerating tower and the 16 bit style cannot be any more unique as you have to navigate through this tower of terror as only the Japanese can imagine (I’m sure the concept is spun after visiting the famous Tokyo Tower, hence its name) in hopes of escape.

This product, developed by //commentout and published by PLAYISM, ascends from Steam Early Access into version 1.0 on PC and welcomes Nintendo Switch to the climb on Tuesday, June 2, 2022.

Anyone who has seen Ghostbusters: Afterlife will know how the business will carry on. Winston Zeddemore is ready to revitalize the business, and we hear his voice in the announce trailer for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.

There’s also the return of another fond character. This game sets up what’s next for the team, but if Phoebe is around, this video is not saying. Instead, it’s getting gamers hyped up to test their abilities–or rather be in their shoes–in what’s coming up next. They better not be slimed. IllFonic is the studio behind this first person shooter, and they’re aiming for an end of year release to continue the tale!
