Sega Announces Total War Spin-Off Series
Sega has announced a Total War spin-off series called Total War Saga.
According to a post on the official Total War blog, this new line of spinoffs will focus on key historical flashpoint—such as civil wars, as opposed to entire eras—and will build on previous Total War games.
The spinoffs won't be shorter or smaller than mainline Total War titles and are said to be similar in scope and focus to the Total War: Shogun 2 expansion Fall of the Samurai.
"Total War Saga games will be the same mix of turn-based campaign strategy, real-time battle tactics, and hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay as a regular Total War game, but focused down on a distinct moment," said Jack Lusted, the director on the studio's first Total War Saga game.
Cuphead Is 100 Percent Microsoft Exclusive
Cuphead will remain exclusive to Xbox One and PC, developer Studio MDHR has confirmed.
"Yes, this Cuphead game is exclusive to Xbox and PC (with Steam and Win10 versions at launch and a GoG release likely shortly after)," the studio explained in a post on NeoGAF.
The developer also added that a Mac version and potentially a Linux version will likely be available sometime in the future. Additionally, the studio confirmed that they own the IP, so while the first Cuphead game won't appear on PlayStation 4, it's possible that any potential sequels could be multiplatform.
Cuphead will be released on September 29 for Xbox One and PC. For more on Studio MDHR's stunning side-scroller, which was unveiled back in 2014, check out our preview of Cuphead, as well as the game's upcoming deluxe vinyl soundtrack.
Persona Director’s New Project Seemingly a PS4 Game
Project Re Fantasy, the next title from Persona director Katsura Hashino's newly formed development team Studio Zero, could very well be a PS4 game, if a job listing is any indication.
The listing, which can be found on Japanese career site Levtech Creators (translation via Gematsu), is for "the production of character motions in a newly in-development PlayStation 4 game."
While it doesn't specifically mention Studio Zero, Project Re Fantasy or Atlus, the job coordinator notes the hiring company has a popular series with one entry that has sold over 1.5 million units. Since its launch in the west this past April, Persona 5 has sold incredibly well, surpassing 1.5 million sales earlier this year.
