What happened to the Assassin’s Creed animated show from Adi Shankar that was announced before this and Laserhawk. He also said he had a Power Rangers cartoon, Hyper Light Drifter, and PUBG cartoon where are those? Really don’t like the Korean Studio Mir’s style they went with for Devil May Cry wish it was Japanese. Adi doesn’t know what anime or this pop culture stuff is. He ruined Castlevania which is not anime it’s made in America with no Japanese talent. Capcom doesn’t care anyway same with Konami. I hope Igarashi and Itsuno do great things. Side note hope that Inafune brings Red Ash back I thought he had funding?
Is this the Derek Kolstad show that’s been in development for so long? Where’s the remake? They announced the remake so long ago. This is their problem they waste money on these shows like that sitcom or laserhawk instead of making games at Ubisoft. Rayman 4 anyone? BGE 2?
