After Hussie ended the webcomic in 2016, loyal fans have kept it alive with various side projects and Hussie’s occasional guidance. Now, it’s getting its biggest side project yet in the form of an animated series. Or rather, the pilot for one.

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Call me a boomer, but for me, mobile gaming peaked in the early 2010s. Phones were getting powerful enough to run console-like experiences, but the industry hadn’t yet drowned in gatcha tactics, ads after every level, or endless battle passes. Instead, developers focused on compelling single-player experiences, short but addictive gameplay loops, and just the right balance of challenge and accessibility. In those early years, some mobile games felt more like pa

In the lead up to his newest film Weapons, we learned writer/director Zach Cregger would tackle Resident Evil for his next project. In the months since, he’s been vague about what to expect from the film, and his newest teases are slightly more concrete in terms of telling us his game plan for Capcom’s zombie franchise. Talking to Inverse, Cregger called himself “the biggest worshipper of the games, so I’m telling a story that’s a love letter to the games and follows the rules of the games.” No
