Surprise! In an abrupt move last week, <strong>Kid Cudi</strong> announced that his new album, originally slated for 4/23, would be released one week early.

Developing the pack front for a game like BEYOND is always an exciting challenge. BEYOND is so unique in the sense that it spans a character’s entire lifetime and takes place in such a vast array of locations and situations, that picking a singular image to represent the game effectively really does feel like digging for a needle in a haystack.
