something not Darksiders for once.

Nice to see Rocket Raccoon getting some work inbetween Guardians movies.

That's what I was thinking about. I knew he reminded me of somebody else.

Nice, we need originality.

I've always wanted to play a game as mZuzek.

Hard to say much without footage, but the publisher being THQ Nordiq isn't very promising since they rely on quantity much more than quality.

And this animal mutant Kung-Fu thing doesn't exactly excite anybody. I wonder who greenlighted this lol

Thread title doesn't do the mascot justice. Saw this on GAF, the art design of the main character is fantastic and I have complete faith in Nordic, which has staff from now defunct Vigil games, whom in turn made the Darksiders games which were really interesting and fun games to me.

At the very least, it looks unique. Keep my eye on it.

It actually excites me more than most games these days. We need more weird games that dare to be different than that usual FPS crap.

So early 2018 and Darksiders developers on board?! Wooohoo
