Out of nowhere, Netflix today announced a number of new anime series–and one of them is a show based on Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma franchise. Here is the official synopsis for the Dragon’s Dogma anime series, which is being produced by animation studio Sublimation:

“Based on a world-famous action RPG set in an open world, Dragon’s Dogma from Capcom will be brought to life as a Netflix original anime series. The story follows a man’s journey seeking revenge on a dragon who stole his heart. On his way, the man is brought back to life as an ‘Arisen.’ An action adventure about a man challenged by demons who represent the seven deadly sins of humans.”

Sublimation representative director Atsushi Koishikawa said in a statement that the studio has for a long time dreamed about working on its own project, and now it’s finally happening.

“We have oftentimes worked with partner studios to create partial CGI portions within a given title, so we feel very fortunate to work with Netflix through this production line deal,” Koishikawa said. “We’re excited to bring our unique cel shaded animation that carries hand-drawn textures to anime fans around the world.”

One of the other anime series announced by Netflix is one based on the network’s sci-fi series, Altered Carbon, called Altered Carbon: Resleeved. The other new one is Spriggan, which is based on the manga series. These shows join the previously announced new Netflix anime series including Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 and Vampire in the Garden.

“Netflix aims to be the most compelling and attractive home for anime fans, creators, and production studios,” Netflix’s director of content for Japan, John Derderian, said in a statement. “We are creating an environment where production houses can do their best work, and deliver their shows on a service where we connect anime fans from over 190 countries to content they love.”

Apple has set a date for its next big reveal event, and this one might be a bit different.

The company has sent out invitations for a March 25 event in San Francisco with the intriguing tagline, “It’s show time.” An accompanying graphic shows the “4… 3… 2…” countdown that is traditionally shown before the start of films and TV shows.

Apple is rumoured to be launching a video streaming service to potentially rival Netflix, Amazon Prime, and others. As GameSpot sister site CNET points out, Apple has in recent months inked content deals for new projects from M. Night Shyamalan, Steven Spielberg, Reese Witherspoon, and Oprah.

We’ll report back with all the big news from Apple’s March 25 event as it unfolds. One of the next big new streaming services in the works is Disney+, which is slated to arrive last this year.

GameSpot’s parent company, CBS, recently launched its own streaming service in CBS All-Access. The next original show for CBS All-Access is the new Twilight Zone, which comes to the service on April 1.

Fortnite is incredibly popular on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. Currently, Fortnite is on its 8th Season with different challenges happening every week, and the next update will introduce a new vehicle for Season 8 that looks like a hamster ball. Along with these updates, a new week of challenges are now available for the season. Fortnite’s latest update will arrive March 12.

Bethesda has announced the first piece of its three-part 2019 roadmap for Fallout 76 is delayed. Don’t worry, though, it’s only been delayed by a day.

“We are moving the release of Wild Appalachia back one day on all platforms,” Bethesda tweeted. “We just need a little more time to brew. Experience the new quest, crafting station & much more starting now on March 13.” Wild Appalachia was first announced on Fallout 76’s 100 day anniversary, alongside the game’s two other major follow-up expansions for 2019, Nuclear Winter and Wastelanders.

Wild Appalachia includes two new quests and a game mode, as well as several features. The two quests, titled Shear Terror and Ever Upwards, offer new stories for you to pursue, with the former focusing on mythical monsters and the latter having you join the Pioneer Scouts and earning merit badges. The new game mode, called Survival, is a PvP variation of Fallout 76’s Adventure mode. Of all the new features, brewing and distilling your own Nukashine recipes is the most notable, but the expansion also includes a means for exchanging unwanted legendary gear for new legendaries and setting up your own store for you to sell items to other players.

Fallout 76’s two other 2019 expansions are scheduled for much later in the year, with Nuclear Winter launching in the summer and Wastelanders in the fall. Nuclear Winter unlocks a new Legendary status and abilities for players who are level 50, and opens up Vaults 94 and 96 as challenging Raids for you to tackle with your friends. Wastelanders introduces “a tale with true choice and consequences” that includes a new main quest, factions, events, and features.

In our Fallout 76 review, Edmond Tran wrote, “Bethesda has stated it intends to continue supporting the game for a long time, but at launch, Fallout 76 is a poor experience. There are echoes of the series’ admirable qualities, but look past that facade, past the cute Vault Boy animations, past the familiar radio tracks, and you’ll find no heart–just an inconsequential wasteland doomed to be nuked over and over again.”
