Ripple Effect Studios had previously provided support for various EA releases, including the Battlefield games, but is now working on what it calls a “player-inspired experience” for the upcoming Battlefield 2042. Aside from that, the company is also working on a “yet-to-be-announced project” and hoping that the change to a new studio name can help it gain more of an established identity in the world of gaming by taking “DICE” out of its name.

“We’re so proud of our work as DICE LA and the DICE team will forever be a part of our DNA, but over the past eight years, we’ve developed our own culture and our own way of doing things,” said Christian Grass, GM of Ripple Effect Studios. “We’re excited to look towards the future, expand the team and establish our own identity.”

According to the announcement, the hope is that Ripple Effect Studios can become a developer that excels at everything, including the process of how it makes games. Respawn Entertainment Founder Vince Zampella is managing the studio and signaled his support for the team, even asking those interested in working there to apply.

“The talent here has a great track record of producing high-quality titles, and the studio’s set to make even more incredible games in the future,” said Zampella. “With an amazing new campus coming to Los Angeles and remote positions available, now is a great time to consider joining us.”

The report doesn’t state a reason for the companies deciding to skip out on the event, but with the virtual event returning once again, it’s probable that the studios simply didn’t want to showcase some of their most highly anticipated things without a live audience available. At the moment, it’s unknown if Sony’s Marvel properties, including the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Morbius will make any kind of appearance. 

As for Warner Bros., this will mark the third year in a row that the studio’s DC films won’t be at Comic-Con. The last time the studio was there was during 2018’s San Diego Comic-Con, when Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins showed off an early look at Wonder Woman 1984. With their own DC Fandom happening again in September, it’s unlikely that the company will be missing much of the Comic-Con world, although it still may be disappointing for fans who were hoping to get a sneak peek at some footage earlier in the year.

While Comic-Con@Home 2021 will take place later this year from July 23 through July 25, 2021, there will be a live edition of San Diego Comic-Con happening later this year, from November 26 through November 28, 2021. It’s unclear at the moment whether or not Marvel Studios or Warner Bros. will show up for that event, but with a ton of big projects set to drop around the time for both studios, it wouldn’t be too out of the ordinary.

Ordinary Gods #1 is out! This is a very highly anticipated comic series from writer Kyle Higgins, artist Felipe Watanabe, colorist Frank William, and letterer Clayton Cowles. It focuses on a world where five gods from a different realm have started a revolution against the other gods and their leader. The first issue is out and Image Comics was kind enough to provide me with a copy to review. You can purchase your own copy from local comic shops, comiXology (affiliate link), or wherever you like to buy comics.

The Luminary. The Prodigy. The Brute. The Trickster. The Innovator. Five gods from a realm beyond our own, leaders in the “War of Immortals.” At least, they were—before they were trapped, sent to a planet made into a prison, forced into an endless cycle of human death and reincarnation.

Ordinary Gods follows 22-year-old Christopher. He’s got two loving parents and a 12-year-old sister. He works at a paint store. He’s in therapy. He’s one of the Five. Which means, in order to save everyone he cares about, Christopher will have to reconnect with his past lives and do the unthinkable: become a god again.

This is a fantastic introductory issue. We start with some action, learn enough lore where you know some of the questions to ask, and meet our protagonist. Christopher is very relatable from the start and Higgins is fantastic at writing dialogue. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I won’t say much, but I really like the way the story is starting. Watanabe’s art is fantastic as well and it really does a great job of showcasing a variety of expressions. Also, William’s coloring is top-notch.

The comic is featuring themes of self-identity and looking to blow it up on an interdimensional level. Who are we really and what are we to do in our lives?

Ordinary Gods is off to an incredible start. If you like mature comics with lots of action, I think you’re going to like this one. I would highly recommend giving the first issue a try.
