Precursor Games has officially announced Shadow of the Eternals, which was first teased (and partially leaked) late last week.
Shadow of the Eternals is an episodic action/adventure game from the creators of Eternal Darkness. Over 2,500 years of human history is sprinkled throughout the experience, according to Precursor. Precursor’s announcement also states that “Players will question their own perception of reality as they progress through this mind-altering psychological horror.”
A new report from the Japan Times claims that Nintendo is now offering developers “professional-use conversion software” that allows smartphone and tablet games to be more easily made for Wii U. Nintendo’s ultimate goal is to increase hardware sales and offer a greater array of titles.
Given Nintendo’s new approach to smaller developers, this would hardly be surprising. The company just recently began supporting Unity on Wii U and launched the “Nintendo Web Framework”, enabling application development on the Wii U through HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS.
