Current projects TBA

Portfolios don’t come much more adventurous than that of Kitfox Games. The Montreal studio’s latest is Boyfriend Dungeon – a saucy rendezvous between visual novel and action-RPG in which weapons transform into hotties who are levelled up through dating. The game follows cyber-theocratic whodunnit Lucifer Within Us, cult-horror village manager The Shrouded Isle, and fantasy adventure Moon Hunters, in which your deeds form a constellation in the sky for the guidance of future generations.

Gears Of War: Reloaded

Something may be lost in the translation between the original 2006 version of Gears Of War and the considerably prettier, brighter and more sharply textured Reloaded. A solemn, grimy place, where endless battles over scarce resources have resulted only in ever-larger piles of corpses, the world of Gears is perhaps most suitably rendered via the fuzzier, grey-brown colour palette of the first Xbox 360 release. Especially for Marcus Fenix and co, war is hell. You might argue that it ought to look like it.

Post Script

Ezo was not yet part of Japan in 1603, when Ghost Of Yotei's story takes place, which feels an appropriate analogue for Sucker Punch acknowledging itself as a nonJapanese studio making a culturally Japanese game.
