As a film buff, I’ve always been fascinated by the wave of erotic thrillers that were so popular for a while. It feels like they’ve fallen out of favor recently, though. I get why – some people find them a bit much, even exploitative. But for me, and a lot of others, it’s the blend of mystery, suspense, and that intense, simmering attraction that really grabs you. There’s something compelling about the obsession and the psychological games they play.
Arcanaut Studios is headed by Casey Hudson, a veteran game developer known for directing the popular titles Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect series when he worked at BioWare.
I’m really excited about this new game, Bradley the Badger! It’s an action-adventure platformer, and the developers are calling it a tribute to classic games. From what I’ve read, it sounds like they’ve taken a bunch of different game ideas – even the ones that didn’t quite work out – and built a world around them. You’ll be fixing up broken game levels, exploring unfinished areas like cathedrals that are still ‘under construction,’ and fighting lots of enemies along the way. It sounds wonderfully weird and creative!
Coven of the Chicken Foot takes place in a unique fantasy world where all the classic adventures have already happened – the dungeons are empty, the monsters are gone, and the heroes have moved on. Players will explore treacherous dungeons and forests as Gertie, a character who relies on adaptability rather than combat to survive. The game will tell its story without any spoken or written words; instead, players will uncover the narrative by carefully observing their surroundings and making choices that impact the journey, according to Wildflower Interactive.
So, a really weird thing happened at the start of the month. This crazy, alien-looking statue showed up in the Mojave Desert, and Geoff Keighley – you know, the Game Awards guy – posted about it. Instantly, everyone started losing their minds trying to figure out what it meant! Some people think it’s hinting at a new God of War game, others are hoping for a big Diablo expansion, and honestly, who knows what else it could be? It’s got the whole gaming community buzzing.

In the recent CNN & Variety Actors on Actors between the two Mummy Returns stars, the pair talked about how they were never actually on screen together, because Johnson’s only physical scenes were set in a different era, and his later appearance in the finale was…rough, due to some famously bad CGI. Fraser said…
I’m really hyped for The Game Awards 2025 livestream! Everyone’s talking about the big games and studios that will be there, which is awesome. But what I’m also excited about is the chance to see completely new games from teams just starting out – especially those made by people who’ve worked on some of my favorite series in the past. It’s cool to see fresh ideas get a platform!
Many games and shows with two main characters let you play with a friend, but Capcom’s upcoming action game, Pragmata, will be different. The developers believe that adding a co-op mode would disrupt the planned story and gameplay experience for the characters, Hugh and Diana.
Tactical Adventures has announced the voice actors for the game, including Amelia Tyler, Ben Starr, Devora Wilde, and Ellen Thomas. You can find more information about their characters in the official press release.
