How Unreal Engine for Fortnite can make your game development dreams come true

A recent update to Microsoft's website suggests that Square-Enix's upcoming Visions of Mana may be headed to Xbox Game Pass alongside its release. Square-Enix first announced the newest entry in the long-running RPG franchise during the 2023 Game Awards, surprising fans with the reveal of the newest Mana game. The RPG is set to arrive as the first brand-new main-series entry in the franchise in nearly two decades, with Mana's recent releases coming as remakes of older titles. Now, the newest Square-Enix game may be coming to Game Pass as well.

Game developer People Can Fly has laid off around thirty developers from an unannounced Square Enix game codenamed Project Gemini.

Over the last decade or so, the entertainment industry has seen many rises and falls across all brands. These changes have affected music, TV, movies, and even video games. Things “for sure never going to fail” started to fail. Then, things that “could never work” have done well and made many wonder if things could go further down that path. One such path is that of the “game subscription service,” which was punctuated by the Xbox Game Pass, which has done wonders for Microsoft.

Digital media has seen massive growth over the last decade or so, and that’s something we’ve seen in the games industry as well. But even as digital purchases, subscription services, and streaming become increasingly popular, many have wondered what repercussions that’s going to have on game preservation- and the fact that we see all too many examples of games being delisted and made completely unavailable for sale (and at times, even for playing for those who’ve bought them) has only made those questions more pertinent.

Just like with music and television, the games industry has been slowly shifting towards the all-digital future for some time now, despite pushback from certain communities with concerns surrounding preservation and ownership.
