Xbox studio The Coalition has reportedly cancelled two unannounced games in order to focus solely on its next project: Gears 6. That’s according to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, speaking on his Game Mess Mornings show, who claims this is a knock on from recent layoffs at Microsoft. He said the developer had been working on two smaller projects, as well as support work on Halo Infinite and assisting Epic with its The Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo.

A sequel to the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu movie could still happen, according to the film’s production company – despite years of silence on a possible follow-up. A Detective Pikachu sequel was first discussed months ahead of the original movie’s release, with Legendary Entertainment keen to capitalise on pre-launch hype. Sadly, we’ve not heard much more on a possible Pikachu return ever since, despite the movie’s popularity upon release. Now, Legendary Entertainment has claimed its sequel is still “in active development” when questioned on its status by Polygon. What this exactly means is unclear.

Knockout City, the free-to-play “dodgebrawl” game, is set to shutdown in June. It means the game’s ninth season – launching on 28th February – will be its last, before servers are shut down on 6th June. “This was an extremely difficult decision for us, but a necessary and important one for our studio,” reads a farewell blog post from Jeremy Russo, game director at developer Velan Studios.

Following Bloomberg’s recent claims EA had cancelled an unannounced single-player game set in the Titanfall/Apex Legends universe, reliable leaker Jeff Grubb has shared additional details, saying the project was a “Titanfall-feeling” single-player campaign that would have been included in Apex Legends rather than being a standalone title. Grubb, who’s been in a particularly leaky mood this evening, made the claims during a Giant Bomb podcast (as transcribed by VGC), saying he’d heard from sources that the cancelled project was part of a broader push to expand the scope of Apex Legends. “In two weeks from now, Apex Legends is going…
EA has revealed The Sims 4’s previously teased new Infants life stage will arrive as a free update to the base game on 16th March, and it’ll launch alongside the newly revealed Growing Together Expansion Pack, which aims to expand gameplay options across all life stages. The Sims 4’s new Infants life stage is intended to bridge the existing gap between newborns and toddlers, fleshing out Sims’ earliest years by introducing adorable little toerags with their own personalities, needs, emotions, and sentiments. The free update will give players the tools to create and modify infants in Create-a-Sim, and includes a…
Developer Fntastic has shared a 10-minute gameplay trailer for its now twice-delayed open-world zombie survival MMO The Day Before. Fntastic announced The Day Before back in 2021, and its striking reveal trailer helped propel it to the top of Steam’s most wishlisted games chart. Since then, though, it’s received two last-minute delays in rather bizarre circumstances – first, Fntastic suddenly announced it was switching development to Unreal Engine 5 a month before its initial June 2022 release date, setting launch back by a year, then at the end of January, with just two months to go before its revised launch…
I’ve been listening to a lot of The Joy Formidable recently, namely the Welsh band’s 2008 hit Whirring. “Turn the dial on my words, I can feel they fall short,” sings frontwoman Rhiannon Bryan before the band takes over and the guitars escalate to a rapturous peak. The song is, perhaps, about not being able to express emotions in words, the music taking over all feeling for an almost seven minute long crescendo. And that’s how I feel about Hi-Fi Rush as I struggle to put my enjoyment into words. Whirring is one of a handful of licensed tracks used…
Those looking to sink their fangs into Arkane Austin’s upcoming first-person vampire shooter Redfall will need to make sure they keep themselves online at all times. Yes, that’s right, even when playing through its campaign in single-player. This news was confirmed on Redfall’s new FAQ page, where it reads: “Will playing Redfall require an online connection for single player as well as co-op? A persistent online connection is required for single player and co-op.” Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content and images belong to their respected owners.

Sony seems to be finally solving its PlayStation 5 stock issues, following a bumper Christmas sales period that saw the PS5 record its best quarter to date. 7.1m PlayStation 5 consoles were sold in the three months ending 31st December 2022, up 83 percent on Christmas 2021. Overall, Sony has now shipped 32m PS5 consoles worldwide. Looking ahead, Sony seems confident it can continue to keep PS5 in stock, too. The company has now raised its annual PS5 target to 19m, up by a million units on what it previously expected. This means Sony expects to shift a further 6.2m…
With Monster Hunter Rise now available to players across all major platforms following last month’s PlayStation and Xbox release, Capcom is turning its attention back to post-launch content support for paid expansion Sunbreak, confirming elder dragon Velkhana and Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax are joining the hunt in next week’s Title Update 4. Arriving next Tuesday, 7th February, Title Update 4 gives hunters at Master Rank 10 or above the opportunity to take on Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s memorable – and extremely formidable – elder dragon Velkhana, which has the ability to freeze water particles in the air to create devastatingly…
