The Summer convention season is certainly in full swing this week. Sine the 2013 E3 Expo took place a little more than a month ago, this year’s first-ever Comic-Con/PAX Australia convention crossover didn’t have much in the way of big announcements. But plenty of people got to play plenty of games, so that’s cool.
And what did the rest of us get? Well…
- Fox plans to bring Firefly Online to mobile platforms in 2014.
- Capcom has a Strider reboot in the works for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One.
- WB Games has added a redesigned Copperhead to Batman: Arkham Origins.
- A new Tomb Raider comic and game sequel are in the works.
