End of Abyss Is A Fantastic (And Hard) Addition To A New Era Of Survival Horror

End of Abyss Is A Fantastic (And Hard) Addition To A New Era Of Survival Horror https://ift.tt/925TrAF Trying to distill End of Abyss to a single sentence is difficult. I can call it a Metroid Prime-like, but it's also a survival-horror game with a sprinkle of Dead Space, but then I'd be remiss to not mention the souls-like influence too. Yes, it can be reductive to narrow a game down to its influences, but it's a testament to what makes End of Abyss interesting: its ability to execute on so many different elements so well, making it one of my most-anticipated games from 2026's Summer Game Fest. In my hands-on video impressions below, you can get a closer look at how it’s adapting all those genres and elements into its overhead perspective and twin-stick shooting controls, as well is cold and harrowing atmosphere. https://youtu.be/MuEmn32tbvg

Dragon Age Creator Says The Series Has Long-Term Story Plans

Dragon Age Creator Says The Series Has Long-Term Story Plans https://ift.tt/WjMdq5X

This week, Dragon Age fans have been able to dive back into the continent of Thedas in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Longtime players may recognize that events in the game were foreshadowed some of the previous installments. According to former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider, that's because he laid out of the series' lore years ago in a document that's still influencing the direction of the games.

"The way I created the world was to seed plots in various parts of the world that could be part of... a single game," Gaider told Eurogamer. "Then there was the overall uber-plot, which I didn't know for certain that we would ever get to, but I had an understanding of how it all worked together... A lot of that was in my head until we were starting Inquisition and the writers got a little bit impatient with my memory or lack thereof, so they pinned me down and dragged the uber-plot out of me. I'd talked about it, I'd hinted at it, but never really spelled out how it all connected, so they dragged it out of me. We put it into a master lore doc, the secret lore, which we had to hide from most of the team."

Although Gaider left BioWare after Dragon Age: Inquisition, there are signs in The Veilguard that his original plan is still being followed, at least to a degree. He pointed to the return of Fen'Harel as a major example. However, Gaider declined to state what his original ending for the Dragon Age lore was just in case BioWare ever gets around to telling that story.
