‘The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature’ Is Coming To PS4 And Xbox One (Trailer)

Back in 2019, La Belle Games and ARTE France’s narrative adventure game The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature was released on Switch and PC. Now, the game is finally coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this March from Hidden Trap. The game, which was originally point-and-click, has been revamped for the new release. That’s not all, the visuals have also been upgraded. Players will have a bird’s eye view of many different locations whose appearance is influenced by the mood and emotions of “The Creature” (angry, sad, etc..). An adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Frankenstein and the tale of Prometheus, The Wanderer puts players in the role of “The Creature”. The game begins in the middle of nowhere with the character a bit of a blank slate. The more time you spend in the game the more he will evolve, with each task completed and each decision made shaping “The Creature’s” mind and path.

Walton Goggins, best known for the portrayal of unhinged characters like Boyd Crowder on “Justified” and the evangelist Baby Billy on “The Righteous Gemstones” (pictured) will lead the cast of Prime Video’s upcoming “Fallout” series adaptation from “Westworld” co-creator Jonathan Nolan who will be directing the pilot episode.

Epix’s New Horror Series “From” Premieres This Weekend!

EPIX’s new sci-fi horror series “From” makes its premiere this weekend and it’s a must-see! In fact, I called it “one of the best new series of the year,” in my review. Starring Harold Perrineau, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Eion Bailey, the series finds a family stuck in a time loop and forced to acclimate to a town made up of stranded travelers. Just when they think things couldn’t get any worse, they discover that when the sun goes down and terrifying monsters come out to hunt. The cast of this fantastic, dark series also includes Hannah Cheramy, Simon Webster, Ricky He (The Good Doctor), Chloe Van Landschoot, Shaun Majumder, Corteon Moore (Utopia Falls), Pegah Ghafoori, David Alpay (Castle Rock), Elizabeth Saunders (Clarice), Elizabeth Moy, and Avery Konrad.
