Hellraid’s (not Hellblade) development is on hold

hellraid-skeleton_warrior

Polish developer Techland has announced that development of its dungeon-crawling FPS Hellraid is on hold.

We first saw the game back on 2013, and then last year at E3. It was to be somewhat of a take on Techland’s other titles, like Dead Island and Dying Light, but set in a medieval dungeon. The title looked competent when we took a look at it last year, but it was in an early state and it was tough to tell where Techland was taking it.

It seems unlikely development will resume on the title, at least in its current state. If anything, it’ll go back to the drawing board for a full reboot, as Techland was not happy with what they saw. Here’s what they had to say in their official statement:

Dear Hellraid fans,

We would like to officially announce that our dark fantasy FPP game Hellraid will not be released this year as previously planned, and the development of the game has been put on hold.

In the recent months we conducted an internal analysis and came to the conclusion that Hellraid, in its current shape and form, is not meeting our own expectations for this project. Therefore, we decided the best course of action would be to send it back to the drawing board and invent our dark fantasy title anew.

In the meantime, we will consolidate our development resources and focus on further expansion of our Dying Light franchise.

We wish to thank all our fans for your support – you’re the best!

It’s important to note that the similarly titled Hellblade in development by Ninja Theory, is still on track.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Trine 3 will hit Steam Early Access next week

The Trine games are really cool. They’re a special blend of puzzle platforming and action, and Frozenbyte has done a great job creating and supporting a fan base for its efforts. Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power will be available on Steam Early Access next week. It’s going to sell for $19.99, and you can find the Early Access specific trailer at the head of this post. What’s especially interesting about Trine 3 is that it marks the franchise’s first transition to 3D gameplay. Frozenbyte indicates on the Early Access page that its decision to release the game to the community early stems out of its need to make the 3D segments feel right. Trine 3 is our first move towards 3D-gameplay in the Trine series, so we wanted to get in touch with our player-base in an early enough phase to collect feedback on the new gameplay features, so we can tweak those into the right direction. Early Access can hopefully provide us with lots of players willing to do this. See full gallery on TechnoBuff
