An anime movie based on Japan is heading to Japan. Bayonetta: Bloody Fate is due out in theaters this November, it has been announced today.
The production is from Gonzo – a well-known animation studio.
Speculation regarding a theatrical movie for Bayonetta original surfaced in 2011. At the time, it was rumored that SEGA was preparing a reveal around TGS 2011. Here we are two years later – this time, the rumor has come to fruition.
Square Enix has picked up a pair of new trademarks that seem to be related to the Bravely Default franchise. “Bravely Second” as well as “Bravely Third” were both detected in the Japanese database. Could these names be used as titles for future Bravely Default releases?
Update: A separate staffer from Castle Pixel has informed us that the 3DS confirmation “was a mistake.” However, the system is still being considered for Rex Rocket. It’s “definitely still on our list of platforms we want to hit,” according to Castle Pixel’s Robert Maher. Maher added that depending on how Rex Rocket performs on Wii U, the team is “going to push” for a 3DS version as well.
Castle Pixel confirmed Rex Rocket for the Wii U eShop last month after revealing its status as an official Wii U developer. Prior to this, we had also heard talk of a 3DS version, but there hadn’t been any mention of the platform in recent weeks.
But no need to worry – Rex Rocket is also set for the 3DS. Castle Pixel shared the news with us, stating that a release is planned sometime in the future (alongside Wii U).
Castle Pixel’s first goal is to release Rex Rocket on PC via Steam Greenlight. The studio is hoping to secure some votes from fans – you can visit the official Greenlight page here.
We’ve been starting to see more DC-based games from Warner Bros. as of late. For instance, the company put out LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and Injustice: Gods Among Us within the past year (more or less). Even the upcoming Scribblenauts Unmasked is heavily tied into the franchise.
Warner Bros. parent company Time Warner isn’t done making video games focusing on the DC universe – far from it. During a conference last week, CEO Kevin Tsujihara said:
“…but we are on track to having a great year in games and we feel very good about where that’s going. And as you said it’s being driven – the new franchises that we are going to be zoning are going to be DC franchises. We think there is big opportunities to build off of what we are doing throughout the rest of the company in games as well.”
