According to a recent rumor, Silent Hill might not be dead after all, as Konami might have some special plans for the series in the future. Silent Hill’s been pretty much toasted since 2013’s abysmal PS Vita exclusive, Silent Hill: Book of Memories, a Diablo clone that banked on fan service appeal and wound up being a tremendous mess. In the following seven years, the once prolific horror franchise has laid in a shallow grave in Konami’s crypt of dormant franchises....

In the west, the Mystery Dungeon series is probably best known for its affiliation with Pokémon. However, Japanese developer Spike Chunsoft has been responsible for a number of games in the franchise released long before Nintendo got involved. The first of which was Shiren the Wanderer. First debuting in 1995, Shiren the Wanderer was a roguelike that set the foundations for later mystery dungeon titles. A decade and a half and four games later, Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate was released....
The Star Wars license has been struggling since its 2012 Disney acquisition. The four movies which have been released since then have been met with mixed reception from fans, and their unwillingness to develop AAA games in-house led to a disastrous partnership with EA, which saw the Star Wars Battlefront franchise become yet another victim of the loot box-laden live service dumpster fire that is modern gaming. What’s more, Disney is the proprietor of Marvel and has been responsible for the box office-dominating MCU films, but that cinema success hasn’t translated to video game sales....
