Earlier this month, developer Supermassive released its sumputous slasher horror The Quarry on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in collaboration with publisher 2K Games – but a new report has claimed the game was originally in development as a “signature” title for Stadia, before Google made the decision to downsize its gaming operation and send the project elsewhere. Stadia, of course, launched to much fanfare in 2019, and part of Google’s promise to early adopters was that the service would bring its own console-like exclusives from both first- and third-parties.

Though you have to wonder if there’s something magical about those leaves… Guided by cat spirit Wonyan, your goal is…
Brilliant indie Unpacking has an Easter egg for developer Witchbeam’s next game, the studio has now revealed. The upcoming project, for now named “TemPoPo”, is still under-wraps. But “a pixel art rendition of the key art… existings somewhere inside Unpacking”, Witchbeam has said.

A new fan made crossover sees The Last of Us’ Joel and Ellie take on the snow-covered wilds of God of War.
