News Asura’s Wrath DLC Trailer is Appropriately Bonkers
Now fight your rival
Asura’s Wrath is more crackers than a packet of Jacob’s savoury biscuits. As such, it’s hard to imagine the DLC could take things much further. But based on the evidence of this trailer – which teases the inclusion of Street Fighter legend Ryu – developer CyberConnect 2’s found a way. Revel in the madness below.

Survival horror isn't popular enough
These days the Resident Evil franchise is all about fist-pumping action, but that hasn't always been the case.

News Developer Expected Mixed Reception for Asura's Wrath
No surprise
Asura’s Wrath is not a conventional game. In all honesty, it’s not really a game at all. It’s an experience – an utterly ridiculous one, but an experience all the same.

Not all cheap
Street Fighter X Tekken fans aren’t happy. Shortly after the game’s release, hackers uncovered that much of the title’s DLC content was already included on the disc.

News Dragon's Dogma Takes to the Skies
