On April 24th, I shared the news that Brown Dust 2 was bumping up the age rating in South Korea. Neowiz, the publishers, tweaked the age requirement from 12+ to 19+ starting April 25th. I also said that this age rating bump wouldn’t hit other places, but it looks like I was wrong! Yep, now Brown Dust 2 global age rating is also getting tweaked.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Rated in Australia
15.04.2024 - 15:41 / gamingbolt.com
We’ve been starved for Hollow Knight: Silksong news for what’s felt like an eternity, but several recent developments have indicated that that could be changing soon. Earlier this month, the game’s official Xbox Store page went live, which was accompanied by ratings by the ESRB in North America and the GRAC in South Korea.
Now, another classification rating has joined that list, with the highly anticipated Metroidvania action-adventure sequel having been rated in Australia. Age ratings for titles generally tend to happen when they’re approaching launch and they are in a state that is representative of the final product that audiences will purchase.
Whether this means developer Team Cherry will soon finally announce a concrete release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong remains to be seen, but that’s certainly the hope. We are, of course, approaching the time of year where major Summer showcases will be taking place, from the Xbox Games Showcase and Summer Game Fest to a rumoured PlayStation Showcase and more, so perhaps a Silksong update is on the horizon.
Whenever it launches, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It will also be available via Game Pass at launch.

How Sonic Mania paved the way for Penny's Big Breakaway
It's been a fascinating journey for the developers behind indie game studio Evening Star. Much of the crew got their humble starts working together on Sonic the Hedgehog fan games. Their work was so highly regarded that they would eventually be recruited by Sega to develop Sonic Mania, a throwback to the franchise's 2D heyday that would go on to become the highest rated Sonic game in over 25 years.

SUDDEN DEATH is a free slice of interactive fiction about love, drugs, and Australian football
The closest I have come to having any interest in sport is when I got really into reading about football hooligans, or like, Blood Bowl, but I do absolutely recognise the romance of it all. SUDDEN DEATH is a delicious free slice of playable art-pie that celebrates that romance. It is - says dev Cécile, who co-made the project with Nat Pussy and MOTHER GOOSE for collective Domino Club - “a game about love and sports. it's gay, it's very australian, and it's great.” You can tell it’s Australian quickly, because people call chips ‘chippies’, which makes me chuffed.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Protagonist James Seemingly Got a Quiet Makeover | Push Square
It seems the protagonist of Konami's Silent Hill 2 remake, currently in development at Bloober Team, has received a quiet redesign or perhaps had a face-lift. It's unclear whether this change comes in response to fan feedback from the trailer shown during the State of Play showcase held earlier this year, the negative response to which Bloober subsequently blamed on Konami.
