Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
When THQ closed its doors, a large portion of former developers from Vigil Games moved on to Crytek USA. But just last month, Vigil founder and Crytek USA head David Adams left the company. He has since gone on to create a brand new independent studio, Gunfire Games.
Gunfire Games is just getting started and is employing a handful of people. All are leads from Crytek USA.
While things are definitely early, Adams told Polygon that Gunfire is exploring the possibility of returning to Darksiders. In fact, the studio has spoken with Darksiders IP owner Nordic Games.

Nintendo has been sending out an email to Japanese Club Nintendo members, which contains a lovely piece of art to celebrate the Hanabi festival. It’s a Zelda-centric piece featuring Link and Majora’s Mask. I wouldn’t say this hints at a Majora’s Mask remake as some have speculated, but it’s nice to look at in any case!
