It shows Vanguards Cayde-6 and Commander Zavala inspiring the people of the last city in an impassioned (and, given Cayde’s involvement, occasionally sarcastic) call to arms.

We remember all the good things, but forget all the bad things. It was shinier, more colorful and brighter than it really was. When we started production and delved into the art and design, we realized we needed to… Continue reading Return to the Golden Age of Adventure Games in Thimbleweed Park, Available Now on Xbox One
