Inspired by the classic adventure games of the 80s & 90s, Battle Axe is an arcade top-down hack & slash created by veteran pixel artist Henk Nieborg. Battle Axe features high quality visuals, true to form game mechanics, and music from the legendary VGM composer Manami Matsumae – retro gamers rejoice!

For as long as you and your people can remember, your homeland of Mercia has been held in the tyrannical grip of “Etheldred”; a despotic sorceress who resides in a seemingly impenetrable tower in the distant icy wastelands to the north. Every seven years she sends her armies south to handpick inhabitants from each township who will be subjected to a life of slavery, and they are never heard from again.

A call is sent out to champions across the land pleading with them to put an end to her rule. An elf, a wizard and a marauder answer the call. Join this band of heroes on their quest the vanquish evil from the land and defeat Etheldred once and for all!

For those who don't know, ZeniMax Media owns Bethesda. That means that Doom, Wolfenstein, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and many other franchises all belong to Microsoft now! 7.5 billion was the sale price.

It sounds like they will continue to publish most of their games on competing consoles at least for now, but with Gamepass that means that they will all be free on day one of release if you are playing on Xbox. This could be an absolute game changer.



Update: They are now saying games will appear on non Xbox consoles on a case by case basis. There are some games that are already in development for PS5 and Switch so they can't cancel them, but going forward some of their big games will most likely be Xbox and PC exclusive.]]> Modern Gaming Shadowrunner https://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/community/modern-gaming/microsoft-buys-zenimax-media/ https://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/community/modern-gaming/xbox-series-x-s/ Wed, 09 Sep 2020 15:38:19 +0000

£449 and £249 in the UK.

Pre-orders start on Sept 22nd and they launch on Nov 10th. Spec comparison here - https://www.techradar.com/news/xbox-series-x-vs-xbox-series-s-which-xbox-will-be-right-for-you

Basically the S doesn't have a disc drive, has a smaller hard drive, and only does 1440p with 4K upscaling. They also are offering very cheap interest free payment plans, $24.99 a month for a Series S and $34.99 for an X with Gamepass and Live included. An incredible deal!

I'll be getting an X but the S is a great deal for people on a budget or for those who don't have a 4K TV.
