PlayerUnknown announces studio restructure, says he has "reached the limits" of how far he can fund its current iteration
Brandon ‘PlayerUnknown’ Greene has announced that his studio, PlayerUnknown Productions, will downsize due to hitting a fiscal wall. While the studio’s ridiculously ambitious Melba engine will continue its development with a smaller crew, the team behind its survival game. Prologue: Go Wayback, hasn’t been as fortunate. “Unfortunately I have reached the limits of how far I can continue to fund this journey in its current form,” PlayerUnknown shares on X. “As a result, I have made the hard decision to restructure the studio.” As noted, the Melba team will be downsized, and while the fate of Go Wayback’s devs hasn’t…

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is still the OG game fans remember, but "reimagined in ways that weren't possible 30 years ago and with new surprises woven in"
We’ll be taking a step back in time, literally and figuratively, come next February when Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis launches. A complete remake of Lara Croft’s first adventure, Legacy of Atlantis allows new perspectives on the genre-defining release, but still packaged in a way fans will recognize.”This is the adventure fans remember: reimagined in ways that weren’t possible 30 years ago and with new surprises woven in,” Michael Lovan, global head of content and community at Amazon Game Studios, writes on the PlayStation Blog.”Whether the original is etched into your memory or you’re meeting Lara for the first time,…
"One discovers, one guides, and one strikes the final blow": Ikumi Nakamura's new yokai-hunting game Kemuri is turning co-op into a ritual, somehow
Our chums at PlayStation have shared more about Kemuri, the giddy new third-person action game from a team lead by former Tango Gameworks developer and E3 2019 scene-stealer Ikumi Nakamura. In case you missed the 2023 announcement, it casts you as an athletic yokai hunter swooping and flipping around a “sprawling vertical city”. The obvious reference point is Ghostwire: Tokyo, Nakamura’s previous and more ponderous yokai-hunting project for Tango. She left the studio before that game’s completion, but she appears to have brought a lot of the same inspirations to Kemuri. Here’s a video.
Hearts of Iron 4 just turned a "dangerously shippable" idea into a new system of frontline command, with a splash of HOI 3
The next Hearts of Iron 4 DLC, ‘theater pack’ Thunder At Our Gates, is all about “the art of organizing a campaign.” Along with expanding on the potential for Australia, Siam, and Indonesia to act as key players in the WW2 grand strategy game, it allows you to deploy generals into local command positions using a new system of Military HQs. As developer Paradox explains, this went through quite a few iterations, including input from the community and some inspiration from predecessor HOI 3, to reach where it’s at now. “Army HQs began with a prototype looking at the simple…

"The X-Men don't exist" in Marvel's Wolverine, and there's no Spider-Man either, Insomniac Games lead clarifies
Given the presence of both Jean Grey and Mystique in Marvel’s Wolverine, you’d be forgiven for thinking the game might feature a whole team of students from Xavier’s School for Gifted Children. Alas, that’s not the case, as this is all about Logan, and we shouldn’t expect a maelstrom of X-Men throughout the game’s story.At least, that’s what Marcus Smith, creative director on Wolverine, told Eurogamer. “The important thing, I guess, is the X-Men don’t exist in our game,” he says. “We wanted to focus on a Wolverine storyline and really build it from that character and build a world…
God of War Laufey and Wolverine are snubbing PC, as rumoured, but I bet they come crawling back sometime after the launch of PS6
In the recently announced God Of War Laufey, you will not step into the shoes of John Kratos’s dearly departed wife Faye. You will not embark on a rollercoaster adventure through a syncretic, pick-and-mix “Everywhen” of dead mythological figures that sounds suspiciously like the backdrop for a future God Of War Smash Bros. There will be no “intimate, brutal combat”, combining the fluidity and juggle potential of God of War’s Ancient Greek era with the camera perspective and architectural stylings of the Norse instalments. You will not get to punch people so hard they sneeze their souls out,…
Satisfactory 1.2 has arrived, and that matters whether you’re a long-term builder, a creative mode junkie, or someone starting out on their first adventure through the factory-crafting sandbox game. Coffee Stain Studios has spent months packing all manner of new quality-of-life features, additional tools, and aesthetic touches into its latest Satisfactory update. Several more months of testing later, and it’s ready for everyone – and the changes are big enough that you’re going to want to think about a complete rebuild. It’s difficult to pick the lead feature of Satisfactory update 1.2. There are too many strong candidates. For me,…
