Both anime fans and film buffs alike will receive an early treat this October with today’s news that Iconic Events Releasing and AMC Global Media’s HIDIVE will present the new 4K restoration of the critically acclaimed samurai film Ninja Scroll in North American theaters. The limited theatrical release of Ninja Scroll 4K will screen on October 4, 5 & 7 across the U.S. and Canada, and represents HIDIVE’s and Iconic Events Releasing’s second Ninja Scroll partnership following their wildly successful 30th Anniversary re-release of the film in 2024. As a special teaser, a brand-new 4K theatrical trailer for Ninja Scroll was revealed as part of today’s announcement and can be seen on YouTube.

Written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Ninja Scroll was originally released in 1993 and is now considered a truly seminal work in anime filmmaking. The 4K restoration of Ninja Scroll was produced by AMC Global Media’s Sentai under the supervision of Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri and was screened for this first time earlier this year at its world premiere during the 76th Annual Berlinale international film festival. The digital adaptation was a painstaking restoration and remastering of the movie — a meticulous process that involved a 4K scan (3840 × 2160 pixels) of the original 35mm negative, then repairing any damage and lastly performing color correction to create an archival quality digital master of the film.

Tickets sales day for the Ninja Scroll 4K limited theatrical release will be announced soon with details on when both advance tickets and the official website will launch. Advance tickets will be available via both the official website and participating theater box offices.

The popularity of the beloved genre-mix Medieval Dynasty, masterfully crafted by Polish development studio Render Cube and published by Toplitz Productions, shows no sign of waning. Thousands of players across PC and consoles venture into the extensive open world every day to try and build a life, either alone or in co-operative cross-platform multiplayer with up to four participants.

Villages will feel more alive than ever with the addition of fully animated decorative workstations, where you can watch your residents actively tackle their tasks like laundry, processing lumber, churning butter and much more. There will be dozens of new decoration items, some of them based on elements you might have seen in other villages, such as chests, barrels or containers, wishing that you would be able to use them for your settlements. And now you can.

Another major addition is the „Storage Stacking“, which introduces a satisfying visual progression indicator. As you and your villagers gather and produce goods, you can watch your storage space and shelves fill up, giving you the ultimate visual payoff for a job well done.

To thank the dedicated community for years of valuable contributions to Medieval Dynasty’s development since its release, Render Cube commits to supporting the game well beyond 2026 and has unveiled a roadmap spanning to Q2 2027, filled to the brim with new exciting content drops.

Among the planned features and additions are the Wild Game update, which will bring legendary animals and serves as a prelude for the Hunting Set DLC, where you can craft legendary costumes and weapons, among other things. Furthermore, the Wild Game update will unlock additional content for gamers who own the Exquisite Set DLC.

The crown jewel of the new roadmap will answer the community’s biggest request: In 2027 the brand new map „The Backwood“ will officially launch, inviting you to venture beyond The Valley and The Oxbow, exploring a completely uncharted territory in the world of Medieval Dynasty.

For Honor Year 10 Season 2 – Unleashed – Out Now

News, Geek News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

For Honor’s Year 10 Season 2, called Unleashed, kicked off today, bringing a new Hero skin and bundles for Sohei, a terrifying throwback event, new Battle and Legacy passes (and rewards), and Hero Fests. In Unleashed, Khatun’s Peace rewards obedience and dooms the unwanted. When the Samurai clan hosts a feast, they unveil a statue of Khatun to show their allegiance, but it came with a price: old tools had to be discarded, and the Sohei went on a suicide mission. Against all odds, he survived, and a stranger gifted him an Oni mask to give him strength and courage to exact his revenge. He attacks the feast, maiming all in attendance.
Here’s a look at what this season has in store:

The Oni’s Wrath Hero skin and Bundles
A celebration of Unleashed and the return of the Survivors of the Fog event, this Sohei Hero skin is inspired by The Oni from Dead by Daylight and this season’s content includes:

The Oni’s Wrath Hero Skin and his weapon
The Oni’s Hunt Bundle, which includes The Oni’s Wrath Hero skin, the Bloodcurdling Scream emote, The Oni’s Craving execution, and the Blood Aura Mood FX
The Oni’s Hunt Deluxe Bundle, which includes Sohei and The Oni’s Wrath Hero skin, the Bloodcurdling Scream emote, The Oni’s Craving execution, and the Blood Aura Mood FX

There will be a Hero Trial when the skin releases, giving you a chance to try Sohei free for one week.
Throwback Event: Survivors of the Fog
Running from June 11 – July 2, this Dead by Daylight collaboration event will test your courage. A 4v4 PvP mode similar to Dominion, two teams will compete for capture points by controlling generator zones. However, instead of minions, the map will be haunted by the Trapper, a vicious and deadly fighter looking to prey on Heroes. Killing the Trapper will award you hard points, and reaching 1,000 points will break the opposing team. Prove your mettle as the greatest warrior by making it to the top of the event leaderboard.
New Battle Pass and Legacy Pass
A new season means a new Battle Pass and Legacy Pass, each filled with exciting rewards for players to unlock.
Battle Pass

Uncaged Beast Effect
Uncaged Demon Effect
Uncaged Turmoil Ornament
Uncaged Madness Battle Outfit
Uncaged Animosity Battle Outfit

And more!

Hero Fests and Hero Trial
Unleashed is also giving players a chance to try Heroes for free. The Hero Trial, featuring Sohei, will run from June 11-18. The three Hero fests, which will temporarily unlock the selected Hero, double XP gained, and include new executions are:

Nuxia – July 2
Valkyrie– July 9
