Image
Wise Wizard Games announced the launch of Wacky Wizard Games, a new brand imprint focused on family-friendly, lightweight games. Three games are planned for release in 2024 as part of this new brand imprint: Star Realms Academy, Caution Signs, and Pack the Essentials. If you are interested and attending PAX Unplugged they will have prototypes of Caution Signs and Pack the Essentials. "We are super excited to be adding this new family friendly product line to our catalog. We wanted to maintain the focus of Wise Wizard Games on strategy card and dice games with geeky themes, and have created Wacky Wizard Games as an umbrella for lightweight games with a more whimsical, cute vibe," shared Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games. Star Realms Academy Forge your own star realms, overloaded with cuteness! A kid friendly but still fun for grown-ups version of the popular Star Realms deckbuilding game for 2 players. A little less math, no reading necessary, but still tons of fun!

Injustice Gods Among Us: General Zod Gameplay (Conan O'Brien)

Image
We had already heard rumors that General Zod would be joining Injustice Gods Among Us . The release was stated to coincide with the new Superman: Man of Steel Movie . Well it turns out that rumor is now confirmed as a small trailer was released on Conan O'Brien's shows yesterday. After the release of the Scorpion it was confirmed by the developers that additional characters would be released after the 4 already confirmed for the Season Pass. If you have the game then you also know there is space on the screen for 4 additional characters. Does this mean a second Season Pass? Lets hope so. The next rumored DLC is for Martian Manhunter who made a special appearance at the end of Scorpion's Trailer . Who else is on the block is unsure but lets hope it's not another member of the Bat family. General Zod will be downloadable this July, and of course Season Pass holders will have access first.
