Luminous was set up by Final Fantasy 15 director Hajime Tabata (who has now quit the company), and includes much of the original FF15 team in its staff.

How 80 Years of Detective Comics Shaped Batman’s Legacy
It's shaping up to be a huge year for Batman. Not only is he celebrating his 80th birthday in 2019, but Detective Comics is reaching its 1000th issue on March 27. The Caped Crusader sure has come a long way since his debut way back in 1939's Detective Comics #27. It goes without saying that the past 80 years' worth of Detective Comics stories have featured many formative Batman moments. From major character introductions to influential origin stories, here are 20 issues of Detective Comics that altered the course of the Batman franchise.

Gwent Announced for Smartphones
Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is coming to iPhones later this year, with an Android release to follow "at a later date."
“We’ve been preparing long and hard to adapt Gwent to smartphones,” said GWENT game director, Jason Slama. “Beautiful visuals aside, we’ve tailored much of our technology, including GOG Galaxy which powers Gwent’s multiplayer, to support mobile devices.
"I think our vision for bringing Gwent to smartphones combines the best we have to offer both in terms of graphics and gameplay. I can’t wait to share more details on the subject with you later this year.”
Gwent's single-player campaign launched as a standalone game last December, while the first card expansion, Crimson Curse, announced earlier this month, will be dropping tomorrow.
Game of Thrones Showrunners Reveal The Night King’s True Motivation
Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have spilled the beans on what's driving the Night King as he descends upon Westeros with his undead army.
"I don’t think of him as evil, I think of him as Death,” Benioff told EW. “And that’s what he wants — for all of us. It’s why he was created and that’s what he’s after.”
That should bring some (very) small comfort to Jon Snow, who has been pegged as a specific target of the Night King by the character's actor, Vladmir Furdik.

6 Things Detective Pikachu Is Already Doing Right
Call me crazy, but I think 2019 might be the year we get the first good video game movie -- And yes, Mortal Kombat is a wacky, stupid, fun time that I’ve adored since I was eight, seen dozens of times, and own on blu-ray, but if you unironically think it’s a genuinely good movie, please please watch more movies.
But now, we’re just months away from Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, and it looks way better than it has any right to… Could this be the first good video game movie? Here are six choices that might keep this furry flick from being big screen shovelware.
1. A Pikachu, Not THE Pikachu
Detective Pikachu is A Pikachu, but he’s not THE Pikachu, the one that’s been hanging out with Ash Ketchum for over a thousand episodes of the cartoon show, and he’s not even the same Detective Pikachu from the 3DS game released last year who sounded like Danny DeVito, as funny as that would’ve been.
