Victorian daemon-hunter and renowned Daemonologist Baron Dashforth had an amazing career vanquishing fantastical creatures. Now retired, he wants to share his life’s journey with the world. And what better way to share his story than by making it into a high-budget play?

Developer Mediatonic is making its first foray into XBLA with Foul Play, a sidescrolling brawler all about performance. Killing your enemies isn’t enough, you need to dispatch your costumed foes with style if you want to keep the audience’s attention. Execute perfectly choreographed strikes, takedowns, throws, and reversals to keep your viewers on the edge of their seat. The play’s scenery will constantly be changing as you progress: castles will crumble, pyramids will rise, and fires will burn. Dashforth can fight alone, or with his loyal companion Scampwick in two player co-op. When teaming up, the duo can link attacks and perform special team takedowns to furthur amaze the crowd.

The game’s opening night and price of admission are yet to be decided.

The news that a Microsoft employee had publicly referenced the existence of a “new Xbox” spread rapidly across video game media outlets and blogs this past Monday. Microsoft Windows Live General Manager Brian Hall’s perceived reference to a next-gen home gaming platform to succeed the Xbox 360, released in November 2005, in the same breath as talk about Windows 8 would have marked the first time anyone working for the console holder acknowledged its existence. However, the publisher has since spoken with IGN about what most believed was an accidental slip of the tongue by Hall and said his words had been misunderstood by the media.

“The comments to The Verge were not understood in their intended context,” reads the statement Microsoft issued. “When Brian [Hall] mentioned a ‘new wave of products,’ he was referring to the full lineup of products coming later this year from Microsoft, including Windows 8, Office, Windows Phone and of course our fall Xbox update which will bring a host of new consumer experiences like Xbox Music, Videos, Games on Windows 8 and Xbox SmartGlass.”

That’s it then, right? Case closed. There is no new Xbox. Never was, never will be. Except for that there is. Proving as much isn’t really possible, but, in addition to the fact that there must be one simply because creating new consoles every several years is just what’s done in this industry, there are a number of reasons to believe the follow-up to the 360 is a thing. Epic has released sizzle footage of its next middleware engine, Unreal 4, in action. Ubisoft and LucasArts showed off games this past E3 that are all but confirmed to be coming to the PS4 and Xbox 720 (Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313, respectively). A little while back, Kotaku‘s Stepen Totilo even went ahead and said, “people are making video games for the next PlayStation and the next Xbox.”
