Good Morning CoinDroppers!

Today we've got a pretty large show! I'm happy to say we have a ton of news today so lets jump into it!

First off as mentioned at the top, Squid's Divine Creations is a new acquaintance I met who actually paints art. Maybe that's not as rare these days as I think it is but most people I tend to meet these days do digital art and it feels like actual painting artists these days are pretty rare so check out Squid's work here.

Hellraiser: Revival

The first ever Hellraiser game is coming (eventually) and we're happy to hear that thought the team making the game, Boss Team Games, is the same team that made the disappointing new Evil Dead game it will NOT be a 4v1 asymmetric multiplayer game. Hellraiser: Revival is a single player narrative FPS survival horror game and thank the BDSM pleasure gods for that!

Fable Delayed

Coming off the coat tails of the reboot of Perfect Dark being canceled and that team shut down, Craig Duncan, Head of Xbox Games Studio's announced that Fable is being pushed to 2026. However, a Xbox Insider on the Xbox Era podcast stated that he has two sources claiming it wont release till 2027. Both of these announcements raises concerns on whether or not this game will suffer the same fate of Perfect Dark.

The Blood of Dawnwalker

We got a bit of an update on how time works in Blood of Dawnwalker and after rewatching the 20ish minute gameplay I'm a bit more hopeful and interested in this game. I'm trying to curb my expectations because even though ex Witcher devs are working on this game doesn't mean they have Witcher 3 levels of budget. The Blood of Dawnwalker takes place over 30 days and nights but the game doesn't end after that time. If you don't save your family by the end of those 30 days and nights your family will suffer "consequences" whatever that ends up meaning. Time in this game isn't just a ticking clock though, but this could add some interesting pressure to what otherwise is just another open world game.
