While Mega Man games might vary in gameplay quality, every entry in the series has superb art. Take Mega Man X Dive, for example, which started a smartphone game before jumping to Steam in 2023. While you might expect a mobile spinoff to cut corners, its art direction is just as strong as any other game starring the Blue Bomber, and its nature as a cross-over title means it's packed with awesome-looking characters and remixed designs from across the entire franchise. If you'd like to see the hard work of the illustrators and designers who helped bring it to life, you can preorder the Mega Man X Dive: Official Complete Works book for $50 ahead of its release on March 25, 2025.

$50

This is a 256-page hardcover book that contains character designs, rough concepts, key art, and plenty of creator commentary. There's even a series of interviews with the developers, so you can find out how characters X, Zero, and Axl were designed for the leap to mobile, alongside newcomers like RiCO, iCO, and ViA. The English cover hasn't been released, but since Udon is publishing this, it's highly likely that it'll be the same as the Japanese edition.

Bloober Team has read the nasty tweets and it's seen the videos in which skeptics brace for disappointment; it hasn't ignored the pessimism. The Polish, horror-obsessed studio even admits it's made "shitty" games in the past. Now, it's out to prove Silent Hill 2 Remake wasn't a one-hit wonder built from a trustworthy, pre-existing blueprint. Speaking with Bloober Team less than 24 hours after its newest horror game, Cronos: The New Dawn, was revealed during the latest Xbox Partner Preview, and just two weeks after the Silent Hill 2 Remake parade of praise kicked off, I learned the studio's next project is intended to reinforce a newly emerging narrative: the Bloober Team redemption arc.

"We don't want to make a similar game [to Silent Hill 2]," director/designer Wojciech Piejko told me during an interview focused on the team's first post-Silent Hill project, which began to take shape a few months after The Medium was released in 2021. Though Cronos: The New Dawn and Silent Hill 2 Remake were being developed on overlapping timelines, they come from largely different teams within the studio and are meant to feel like "different pizzas with different toppings--both delicious," he said with a laugh. Silent Hill 2 Remake was better than most seemed to expect, but Cronos: The New Dawn seeks to prove they can build something special from scratch, too.

The game centers on The Traveler, a mysterious person who moves through timelines. On one end is a future ravaged by a pandemic and inhabited by monstrous mutants. On the other end is communist Poland circa the 1980s. The Traveler is tasked with moving backward through time to rescue VIPs who didn't survive, disrupting the timeline to bring them into the future where they may be able to help. If it sounds like things will get wonky in that classic time-travel way, I'd bet you're right. The duo told me the game is inspired by Netflix's Dark, a magnificent series that often felt like an oddly welcome headache for those trying to make sense of its elaborate plot.

After teasing their pending partnership late last year, Wizards Of The Coast and Marvel have finally pulled back the curtain on the first part of Marvel's entry into the Magic: The Gathering. Today, during a panel at New York Comic Con, the two companies revealed five Secret Lair drops--each themed for a different Marvel superhero--which will be available on the Secret Lair website beginning November 4.

Each drop consists of five cards, one mechanically-unique legendary creature card and four reprints from Magic's past. The legendary creature card will depict one of the five featured heroes--Captain America, Black Panther, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Storm--while the four reprints will feature new artwork of the corresponding hero.

Each of the five drops will be available for $40 in non-foil and $50 in rainbow-foil treatments, and all who spend $199 or more will receive a special reprint of Arcane Signet called Earth's Mightiest Emblem, with Avengers Tower featuring in the card's artwork. Wizards Of The Coast has also confirmed that the Marvel superdrop will be a limited-time offering with specific quantities of each drop, not as a print-to-demand drop like the recent Extra Life 2024 edition.
