Blue Mammoth hosts Brawlhalla World Championship Indie Developer Blue Mammoth Games is hosting the Brawlhalla World Championship & Expo in Atlanta, GA from November 11–13. Brawlhalla is a free-to-play, 2D-fighter with 27 heroes to currently choose from. The developer, who also created Dungeon Blitz, is based out of Atlanta and comprised of industry veterans of Cryptic Studios. The game is currently in early access on steam and is planned for PlayStation Store release. The competitive scene around the game has been steadily growing since Brawlhalla’s early access launch in November of 2015. Currently boasting a total of 4 million users, the attention has even drawn in sponsorship money from teams such as Absolute, VexX Gaming, and Triden eSports.
Today, Korean developer Shift Up, known for Stellar Blade and Goddess of Victory: Nikke, announced its financial results for Q1 of 2025
I just saw the Stellar Blade director just finished Clair Obscur (96hrs playtime). He clearly has good taste. Gives me some confidence concerning their new game.
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution launches summer 2025 on modern platforms—20 years after its original development was shelved.
Glad they didn't change the art style. This is looking good.. Why did they change the way the characters look anyway? The very first style was kind of ok, it was fine by Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.. both in game sprite and the dialogue popups, why keep changing it? I am not as fussed on her newer look. She's looking kinda too dark or sunburnt now.
In the end, how did the Marathon Closed Alpha go? There are two components to this, how the game felt and how it was received more generally.
Hopefully this game gets some traction.
