Crunchyroll Parties Up With Grand Summoners In New Goblin Slayer Anime Limited-Time Event

Crunchyroll has announced, starting June 6, that it will be co-publishing Grand Summoners, a tap-battle gacha RPG. Starting that same day, Grand Summoners will host a crossover event with popular 2018 anime Goblin Slayer, adding characters from the anime to the game.

"Crunchyroll has been an essential partner of GoodSmile Company and NextNinja in creating a worldwide audience for Grand Summoners since early 2018, Grand Summoners producer Masayuki Yamagishi said in a press release. "Crunchyroll has a unique, deep understanding and respect for Japanese anime and games. Their commitment to understanding the joys and challenges of Grand Summoners often far exceeds our expectations--and is the foundation for our partnership."

The Goblin Slayer crossover event begins June 6 and continues until July 31. During the limited-time event, you'll be able to unlock and play with three major characters from Goblin Slayer--the titular hero, High Elf Archer, and Priestess--in raids and in-game battles. This crossover follows on the heels of several popular anime-themed events within Grand Summoners, including That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Golden Kamuy, and Kill la Kill.

After launching to controversy, Goblin Slayer went on to become one of the most popular Fall 2018 anime series. The series follows a group of adventures, each named for the party role they embody, who journey through a fantasy world. The show focuses on Goblin Slayer, a mysterious masked knight who only ever hunts goblins and refuses to aid in other tasks. After saving an inexperienced adventurer named Priestess, Goblin Slayer finds a companion who supports him on his quest and also helps him open up more to others.

If you're looking to catch up on the anime before the crossover event, you can find the original Japanese version on Crunchyroll and the English dub on Funimation. A new Goblin Slayer OVA is set to release in Japanese theaters in 2020, and will supposedly come to the west at some point.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
