Yarnhub, the popular YouTube channel known for its beautifully animated military history videos, is creating its first video game, called Brass Rain. The game is a free-to-play World War II online shooter for many players, and it’s being funded by fans with over $2.9 million raised. The development team includes veterans from well-known game studios like EA and Remedy. I watched the trailer and it looks fantastic, though I noticed the soldiers reload their M1 Garand rifles a lot – it’s a bit strange seeing the same animation repeated so often, especially since it seems the trailer wasn’t filmed in real-time. I’m excited to see if Brass Rain can become a strong competitor to games like Hell Let Loose and Enlist.

After a long wait, Escape From Tarkov officially launched on Steam on November 15th, but the release was plagued by server issues. Many players couldn’t access the game, prompting an apology from the developer, Buyanov. Before the problems could be addressed, the game received a wave of negative reviews on Steam, resulting in a current “Mixed” rating. It was disappointing for fans that the full release was so problematic.

After a fantastic run, My Hero Academia is nearing its conclusion. Although the anime is just getting to these final events, the manga ended about a year ago. The story wraps up with the defeat of All For One and the death of Shigaraki Tomura. However, the ending is also tinged with sadness, as Izuku Midoriya, the main character, loses his most powerful ability, One For All. This loss is particularly impactful, considering all the effort and sacrifice Izuku made to master the power and prove himself worthy.

Fans and developers hope for successful revivals of beloved franchises, but a single, poorly received game can seriously damage a brand’s reputation, and sometimes, that’s enough to end it. While these franchises might get another chance in the future, right now, their downfall seems certain due to one critical failure.

Currently, Jujutsu Kaisen is the most popular new action anime. The show became a huge success when it premiered in 2021, and excitement is building for its third season, which will adapt the intense “Culling Game” storyline. Unfortunately, the series’ most beloved character, Gojo, is currently out of action. This means viewers might not see Gojo in the present day during Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3.
