‘Poppy Playtime’ Coming to Xbox This Friday [Trailer]

Published

on

After being released to the PlayStation and Switch back in 2023, Poppy Playtime will finally be making its way to Xbox. The first chapter of Mob Entertainment’s hit horror title will be headed to the Xbox Series on July 12 for $4.99. Pre-orders are now open. No word yet on when the other chapters will arrive.

For those who have been in the dark regarding the Poppy Playtime phenomena (it even has a film adaptation in the works and books), this puzzle adventure game has you trying to survive and escape an abandoned toy factory, while also avoiding the wrath of the vengeful toys lurking in the dark. Luckily, you have your GrabPack, a wearable backpack that sports two hands with extendable arms. The GrabPack will be the key to solving puzzles, where you’ll have to pick up objects, push hard-to-reach buttons, manipulate electrical currents and more.

It’s unfortunately not that simple, however. You have Huggy Wuggy, a towering furry blue monster with multiple rows of teeth, relentlessly pursuing you the entire time, requiring you to exercise caution wherever you go.

In addition to the PlayStation and Switch, Poppy Playtime is also available on PC via Steam. The latest chapter, Chapter 3, was released back in January.

‘Resident Evil’ Cast Reunite With Rebecca Chambers’ Actress [Watch]

Published

on

Director Andrew Saullo has just dropped the second Resident Evil cast reunion. And this time, Charlie KraslavskyGreg Smith and Eric Pirius (who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, respectively) are joined by the surprise addition of Rebecca Chambers’ actress, known as Linda! The quartet were joined by Saullo, as well as Residence of Evil founder JJ Trulock to discuss (what else?) their experience with Resident Evil, as well as some behind-the-scenes info on the shoot for the cutscenes.

Regarding the shoot for the cutscenes, Linda said that the experience “left a really big impact” on her at the time. “It was a big day. It was a wild shoot and it was very different than anything else that I had been doing in Japan at the time when I was modelling.” Still, Linda did remember her fellow actors, though she admitted that they all “looked a little bit different” at the time, including herself. “I remember for the shoot, I actually had blonde hair, and they spray painted my hair that morning so I would look more like Rebecca.”

As for her knowledge of Resident Evil, Linda admitted that she’s still learning about the series and her character. “I didn’t know a lot about the job, or that anyone was looking for [me] up until probably about four years ago, where someone reached out to me and they found me. But even then, I didn’t understand the magnitude of the entire situation. Only now I’m realizing like wow, there’s maybe someone out there that you know it’s like ‘Wow, that’s Rebecca Chambers!’. So it’s new to me, and I’m kind of just going with it.”

The interview (which you can check out below) also includes a special announcement of a four-part fan-made web series, which will be directed by Andrew Saullo (who also directed the fan-made short The Keeper’s Diary, in case you missed it). All four of the actors will be reprising their roles in the web series. It will not be an official Resident Evil series (for copyright reasons). Crowdfunding for the project will be launched “soon”.
