Resident Evil Village has sold more than 5 million copies, GoldenEye 007 has been unbanned in Germany potentially allowing it to appear on the Nintendo Switch Expansion Pass, and Skydance News Media are working on a Marvel game with the help of former Uncharted Creative Director Amy Hennig.

Skydance Marvel Game

The former creative director of Uncharted called Amy Hennig has joined Skydance Interactive and they are working on a Marvel game. They released a statement which says "I can't imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game. The Marvel Universe epitomizes all the action, mystery and frills of the pulp adventure genre that I adore and lends itself perfectly to an interactive experience. It's an honor to be able to tell an original story with all the humanity, complexity and humor that makes Marvel characters so enduring and to enable our players to embody these heroes that they love." We will see what they have planned. We have a lot of Marvel crossovers. I'm still personally playing through Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy that was just released by Square Enix and Eidos Interactive, and it's really good. Marvel is definitely a good partner for video games these days.


With the announcement of Amy Hennig's involvement in the development of a new Marvel game at Skydance Interactive, excitement has been building within the gaming community. Hennig is a highly regarded creative director, known for her work on the critically acclaimed Uncharted series. Her collaboration with Marvel brings together two giants in the entertainment industry, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what they have in store.


Marvel's expansive universe, filled with legendary heroes and villains, offers endless possibilities for captivating storytelling and immersive gameplay experiences. The combination of action, mystery, and rich characters makes it a perfect fit for the gaming medium. Hennig's passion for the pulp adventure genre aligns perfectly with the Marvel Universe, ensuring that the game will be a thrilling and authentic experience for players.


The statement released by Skydance Interactive highlights the intention to craft an original story that captures the essence of Marvel's characters. The humanity, complexity, and humor that define Marvel's heroes have made them beloved icons, and the game aims to allow players to embody these iconic figures and embark on their own heroic journeys. This interactive experience will undoubtedly resonate with fans who have long admired these characters and their enduring appeal.


In recent years, there have been several successful Marvel video game adaptations. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, developed by Square Enix and Eidos Interactive, is one such example. Released to critical acclaim, the game showcases the potential for engaging narratives and thrilling gameplay within the Marvel Universe. With each new game release, Marvel continues to solidify its position as a prominent partner in the gaming industry.

GoldenEye 007 Unbanned

Moving on to the next news, Nintendo recently released Nintendo 64 games on the expansion pass for Nintendo Switch. However, one notable game was missing from the lineup - GoldenEye 007. This iconic game has been banned in Germany for the past 25 years, making it unavailable to players in that region.


The request to unban GoldenEye 007 in Germany is gaining momentum, as fans eagerly await its inclusion on the Nintendo Switch Online service. GoldenEye 007 holds a special place in the hearts of gamers, especially those who grew up playing it during the Nintendo 64 era. Its revolutionary multiplayer mode and thrilling single-player campaign left a lasting impact on the industry and cemented its status as a beloved classic.


Given the popularity and cultural significance of GoldenEye 007, it would be a great addition to the expanding library of Nintendo 64 games available on the Nintendo Switch. The game's unban in Germany would not only bring joy to German fans but also allow a new generation of players to experience the magic of GoldenEye 007.

Resident Evil Village Sells 5 Million

The final news for today revolves around the success of Resident Evil Village. Capcom's latest installment in the critically acclaimed Resident Evil franchise has managed to sell an impressive 5 million copies worldwide. This comes as no surprise, considering the franchise's dedicated fan base and the positive reception the game received upon its release.


Resident Evil Village serves as a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7 and continues the story of Ethan Winters as he navigates a sinister village filled with grotesque creatures and mysteries lurking around every corner. The game offers a perfect blend of horror, action, and suspense, making it a must-play for fans of the franchise and survival horror enthusiasts.


Capcom's commitment to delivering quality experiences is evident through the success of Resident Evil Village. Not only has the game garnered critical acclaim, but it has also resonated with players on a global scale. Building upon the success of its predecessor, Resident Evil 7, which surpassed 10 million copies sold, the latest installment solidifies the franchise's position as one of the industry's most beloved and enduring series.


For those who have yet to experience the horrors of Resident Evil Village, now is the perfect time to dive into the twisted world created by Capcom. With its engaging narrative, breathtaking visuals, and intense gameplay, the game promises an unforgettable experience that will keep players on the edge of their seats.


In conclusion, the announcement of Skydance Interactive's collaboration with Amy Hennig for a Marvel game has sparked excitement among fans, promising an immersive and authentic experience within the Marvel Universe. The quest to unban GoldenEye 007 in Germany and its potential inclusion in the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pass ignites nostalgia and anticipation for fans of the classic game.
