CI Games has announced the creation of a brand-new development studio called Hexworks. Situated in both Barcelona and Bucharest, the new studio will develop Lords of the Fallen 2 before focusing on new IP.

“It’s been a long time since we started talking about Lords of the Fallen 2 and trying different ideas,” CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski said. “I am very excited for us to be able to announce the new studio that has been already at work for the last half of the year and made significant progress.

“Initially we decided to keep that quiet as we didn’t want to bring that to public eyes before we would build the core team and before we would all agree on the details of the first project and move forward with our vision. So, this is the time to officially say we are here and we’re here to stay.”

Netflix has released a new–and the final–trailer for Ratched. Due out on September 18, the upcoming psychological thriller promises to be a suspenseful drama that also serves as the origin story for Nurse Ratched, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’s tyrannical villain in charge of an asylum. You can watch the trailer below.

Starring Sarah Paulson (Mrs. America, The Notorious Bettie Page), the TV series comes from writer-director Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Nip/Tuck) and Ian Brennan (Glee, The Politician). Netflix’s official synopsis states that Ratched takes place in 1947, when Mildred Ratched “arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind.” Mildred then embarks on covert medical missions where she “presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be, but the wheels are always turning as she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it… revealing that true monsters are made, not born.”

Fortnite continues to be one of the biggest games in the world, to the point where it’s broadened our ideas of what a game can even be. As part of that, Fortnite’s Party Royale mode will soon begin its Spotlight concert series, with different musical artists performing on the newly-constructed Spotlight sound stage.

Dominic Fike is the first artist to perform in the series, and his concert will air Saturday, September 12 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET, with encores later in the weekend. The event will also mark the debut of a new outfit, titled Shimmer. Fan-favorite costume Tender Defender will return to the item shop for a short period, as a nod to Fike’s song Chicken Tenders.

The concert series will continue into the fall, with unannounced artists performing on September 19 and 26. Noted rapper Travis Scott was the first artist to perform a concert within Fortnite, and the massive success of that event led fellow major performers like Diplo and Young Thug to follow in his wake.

Zelda fans who are eager to get back into Link’s colorful world won’t have to wait long. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch on November 20. Preorders are beginning to go live now.

Set 100 years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has you participate in the events of the Great Calamity, which brought the world to the devastated state it’s in in BotW. Nintendo promises “dramatic cutscenes” will show Zelda, the four Champions, and the King of Hyrule trying to stop Calamity Gannon and his forces from unleashing the apocalypse.

As for gameplay, you can play as Zelda, Link, and more characters from the original game. Like previous Warriors games, this one is primarily action-based, with your hero often single-handedly taking on entire armies of enemy forces. In fact, the developers at KOEI Tecmo Games call it “1 vs. 1,000” gameplay.

Preorder Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

• Get it at Nintendo eShop (digital) – $59.99

Currently, the game is only available for preorder in digital format from the Nintendo eShop. I expect the listing to go up on Amazon, Best Buy, and the rest of the usual retailers soon. I’ll add those links as they go live.

As usual for Nintendo games, Hyrule Warriors will only be available in a standard edition. No special editions have been announced, but we’ll add them here if that changes in the future.

Preorder Bonus

If you preorder the digital version of the game, you’ll get the Lucky Ladle weapon. Nintendo says this item will not be immediately available to owners of the physical version of the game.

Back at E3 2019, Nintendo ended its Direct live stream with the surprise announcement that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would receive a sequel. Since then, any information on the sequel has been kept tightly under wraps, as Nintendo isn’t ready yet to divulge any new details on the game. In a brief update regarding progress on Breath of the Wild 2, Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma asked fans to wait “a bit longer.”

“Regarding the sequel, in order to make the vast world you enjoyed exploring in the original game even more impressive, the team is working hard on its development so you’ll have to wait a bit longer before we can provide more updates,” Aonuma said at the beginning of the Hyrule Warriors reveal video.

Breath of the Wild had received downloadable content after it launched, and shortly after the reveal of the sequel, Aonuma explained that the development team simply had “too many ideas” for original content that would be better utilized in a standalone sequel.

One week after a fatal four-way 60-minute Iron Man match ended in a tie between former NXT Champions Adam Cole and Finn Balor, the two are set to square off one more time. This time, though, it’ll be a one-on-one match, with one fall to a finish deciding the new NXT Champion.

While this is not the first time Cole and Balor have faced each other in singles competition in NXT, their first bout against each other was six years ago, before either were WWE superstars. “I wrestled Finn Balor on his farewell tour of the independents to go to NXT,” Cole told GameSpot. “That was the first time I had met Finn. It was the first time we had ever wrestled each other and there was this instant chemistry.”

That match took place in 2014 for the British company Revolution Pro Wrestling, and ultimately Balor–who wrestled as Prince Devitt at the time–got the victory. Now, though, Cole sees a different outcome on the horizon–and he’s got good reason to.

While Nintendo continues to work on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel, Zelda fans itching to get back to Hyrule can pick up a new game this November. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity releases November 20 on Nintendo Switch. It’s the second game in the Hyrule Warriors spin-off series, but it will actually tell a story that will be of great interest to Breath of the Wild fans. If that sounds up your alley, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is available to preorder now for $60.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, as the title suggests, deals with the lead-up to the Great Calamity. As those who played Breath of the Wild know, Ganon changed the foundation of Hyrule 100 years before Link awakens in Breath of the Wild. Age of Calamity will dive into the events that led to that fateful turn for Hyrule.

As a Hyrule Warriors game, you can expect it to be far more action-oriented than mainline Zelda games. If you played the original Hyrule Warriors or Fire Emblem Warriors, you’ll know what to expect here. These crossover games use Dynasty Warriors’ hack-and-slash combat as a foundation with flashy combos and droves of enemies to defeat. While there will be tons of action, there will also be some environmental puzzles to solve across Hyrule.

A new Zelda spin-off is coming to Nintendo Switch this November, Nintendo has announced. Titled Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, the game is another Dynasty Warriors-style Zelda adventure developed by Koei Tecmo, and it serves as a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Set 100 years before the events of the Switch launch title, Age of Calamity chronicles the Great Calamity that devastated Hyrule as it unfolded. As in the previous Hyrule Warriors, the game will feature multiple playable characters, each with a unique play style. Players will be able to take control of Link, Zelda, and the four champions of Hyrule–Mipha, Revali, Daruk, and Urbosa–and cut through waves of Ganon’s minions. Along with the aforementioned characters, a small Guardian can be seen among the heroes in the game’s official key art, suggesting it could be playable as well.

In addition to over-the-top battles, Age of Calamity incorporates traditional Zelda elements like puzzles. Players will need to use the Sheikah Slate and other skills to overcome these and other environmental obstacles. Nintendo also says the game features “a robust story that depicts the events, relationships and dramatic moments of the Great Calamity in captivating detail.”

Nintendo has announced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, a new game set 100 years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and it will be released on Switch on November 20, 2020.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will allow players to learn more about Zelda, the four Champions – Mipha, Revali, Urbosa, and Daruk – the King of Hyrule, and more through “dramatic cutscenes as they try to save the kingdom from Calamity.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/08/hyrule-warriors-age-of-calamity-official-trailer”]

This new game, which is being developed by Koei Tecmo and will let players experience the Great Calamity referenced in Breath of the Wild for themselves, will have “Link, Zelda, and more use their distinct abilities” to take down everything from “barbaric Bokoblins to towering Lynels.”

In addition to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity supporting local, 2-player co-op, it will also challenge players to solve environmental puzzles, unlock weapons and skills, craft with gathered materials, visit shops to obtain items, and use the power of the Sheikah Slate.

If you choose to pre-order Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, you will receive the Lucky Ladle as an in-game bonus weapon for Link.

in 2014, Nintendo released the original Hyrule Warriors, a Musou-style game similar to the Dynasty Warriors franchise, and it featured many characters and enemies from the long history of The Legend of Zelda series. It was released on Switch in 2018 and, in our review of Hyrule Warriors, we said it “Surprisingly, Hyrule Warriors does a good job of tying together the combat of Dynasty Warriors and the revered characters and lore of the Legend of Zelda series in a way that makes me feel powerful in a world I love. Character customization adds unique flavor to the simple combat, and the satisfying weapons, rewards, and story make it a fun alternative to the typically serious Zelda games.”

Eiji Aonuma, producer on the Legend of Zelda series, did mention that fans looking for new updates on Breath of the Wild 2 will have to “wait a bit longer,” so hopefully this new experience will make that wait a little easier.
