I’d wager Spike Chunsoft was one of the five best publishers of the last decade with all the quality Japanese content it brought over to western audiences. Not only did it give us the wonderfulZero Escapefranchise, but it localized smaller titles as well, likeConceptionandOne Way Heroics. Of course, the franchise most of our readers probably associate with the publisher isDanganronpa. In 2017, the creators of that masterpiece left Spike Chunsoft to formToo Kyo Games, and after releasing two titles last year with IzanagiGames, the team is back with their old company for their next project calledEnigma Archives: Rain Code....

Casus belli! Casus belli! When it comes down to it, all grand strategy is about romance and singing, so it makes perfect sense that Paradox Interactive is taking theEuropa Universalisfranchise to the next level by making a musical. “Like most of the great game developers, I grew up thinking about musical theater,” said Thomas Johansson,Europa Universalis IV‘s Project Lead.

Yep, still looks amazing We’ve said it plenty of times but Ubisoft’s upcomingChild of Lightlooks wonderful; it’s got a wonderfully lush, hand-drawn quality that’s not too dissimilar from the recentRaymangames. As we find out in the video above, both games are using the UbiArt framework which has allowed concept artists to pretty much directly put their art into the game. It’s interesting to hear the illustrators that have been a big influence onChild of Light; I have to be honest, I’d never heard of John Bauer or Arthur Rackham but it’s really refreshing to see something different be a creative spark for a game....
