Now the co-op action RPG is here with The Dragon Prince: Xadia, and it’s available to play on Netflix. Check this out:

Welcome to Xadia! Step into the boots of your favorite The Dragon Prince heroes and team-up for all-new, epic adventures in this co-op action RPG!

Besides being able to play as the series main heroes like Rayla, Callum, and Soren, it looks like you’ll also be able to play as villains like Viren and Claudia.

With Xadia also built up of different factions of humans and elves with their specific power sets and elements, it does look like Xadia the game is also going to be banking on that world-building and making it flesh out the gameplay and skill maps.

Admittedly, it was Aaron Ehasz’s work as head writer for Avatar: The Last Airbender that built the hype around The Dragon Prince, but a lot of fans weren’t immediately onboard because of the choice of aesthetic. However, the character work and worldbuilding is still great, and a game based on the world of Xadia only seemed inevitable.

It’s like the entire show was built around being able to spinoff the series multiple ways from tabletop games to video games. Hopefully Netflix has some more ideas on where they want to take the IP next. How about a Spider-Verse-level full-length movie?

The Dragon Prince: Xadia is now available for mobile platforms via Netflix.

Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender Loses Showrunner to Percy Jackson https://www.geekfeed.com/avatar-the-last-airbender-loses-showrunner/ Fri, 12 Apr 2024 10:59:02 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=81852 Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender was considered to be a massive success, but it has been heavily criticized for the change in character arcs and overall writing. Though the next two seasons had already been greenlit, the show has experienced one major shakeup.

Variety reports that the series showrunner Albert Kim has stepped down from the show. In Kim’s place, executive producers Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani will be taking over. According to insiders, after the multi-year development process of Airbender, he decided to pursue a different opportunity with Disney to work on the Percy Jackson series.

This isn’t the first snag that ATLA has caught in its developing process. Originally, the show had creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko attached, but the two decided to leave the project after creative differences.

If anything, the show looks to be in good hands. Boylan herse;f has worked on great series like Poker Face with Rian Johnson. Raisani, on the other hand, was a VFX supervisor and has worked on shows like Stranger Things and Game of Thrones. He’s also directed episodes of Airbender and Lost in Space which also starred Gordon Cormier.

We don’t know exactly how Airbender is expected to change moving forward, but we do know that a lot of people weren’t happy with the exposition and writing. Hopefully the learn from their mistakes and manage to give better characterization for everyone in the following seasons.

No release date has been set for the second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Fallout Director: Pleasing Fans is a ‘Fool’s Errand’ https://www.geekfeed.com/fallout-director-pleasing-fans-is-a-fools-errand/ Mon, 18 Mar 2024 14:16:31 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=81530 Jonathan Nolan may not be making a new season of Westworld any longer, but he is jumping over to Amazon Prime Video to work on the series adaptation of the hit game Fallout.

The show, set in an alternate dystopia heavily inspired by 50s Americana is set to premiere this April, and a lot of fans are curious about what Nolan and his team are going to bring to the series. As it turns out, pleasing fans is the last thing on Nolan’s mind.

“It’s kind of a fool’s errand to try to figure out how to make [other] people happy,” Nolan tells T3,  “You’ve got to make yourself happy. And I’ve made myself very happy with the show.”

Though Nolan does say that he isn’t trying to please the other fans of Fallout, he does confirm that he’s a huge fan of the franchise himself, having spent an entire year getting obsessed with Fallout 3. He shares, “It started, for me, with Fallout 3,  which devoured about a year of my life… I was an aspiring young writer at that point, and it almost derailed my entire career. It’s so ludicrously playable and fun… seriously, the games were just incredible.”

With Nolan’s approach, he says that he does believe that as long as he’s pleased with his own project, then other fans like him who’ve also enjoyed the games would also find something to love about his series.

If properties like Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power have proven anything, it’s that IPs with huge established fandoms are always hard to please. So while we should expect some people to absolutely trash Fallout when it releases; we can be rest-assured there will be some that share Nolan’s taste that would think the show was a great adaptation.

Catch Fallout when it premieres on Amazon Prime Video on April 12.
