Rainbow Six Siege's sequel dreams have been dashed by the title's director, as he believes pushing out one would be a mistake.
Rainbow Six Siege's creative director Alexander Karpazis doesn't believe the elderly shooter needs a change of game engine or for that matter, a sequel. He feels that Siege can "last forever", adding that "I'm not going to name names, but you see games go through sequels and just completely drop the ball."
Rainbow Six Siege’s creative director, Alexander Karpazis, has seemingly shut down the idea of the first-person shooter switching away from its game engine, and has claimed that the game can “last forever.”
The creative director on Rainbow Six Siege, Alexander Karpazis, has said that there are no plans to make a sequel to the long-running online shooter.
In spite of being nearly a decade old and having suffered quite a horrid start upon its launch all those years ago, Rainbow Six Siege has, over time, turned into one of the successful and widely played live service games out there.
Rainbow Six Siege “can last forever”, according to the game’s creative director.
Beloved tabletop role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons has revealed that the company will end official Portuguese translations for the game's sourcebooks following this year. First released nearly 50 years ago, the tabletop RPG now published by Wizards of the Coast has become one of the world's most iconic tabletop games. The game has featured multiple iterations throughout its long life, with Wizards of the Coast regularly expanding Dungeons and Dragons with new sourcebooks, modules, and rulesets. Now, however, the developer is reportedly set to end support for one language.
Rainbow Six Siege's creative director seemingly doesn't have any plans for a sequel.
It would be difficult to pinpoint the moment the smartphone took control of my life. Like Japanese knotweed, it grew surreptitiously in my mental garden, gradually throttling other forms of attention until it had insinuated itself into almost every activity. I check my screen time rarely, but I remember a sense of vague discomfort a few years ago on seeing that it had passed a daily average of six hours. Recently, it stood at more than 11.
Tinder is expanding its identity verification program at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) can make it hard to tell who's real and crime is rising on dating apps. Tinder, the world's most popular dating platform, is rolling out the system in the US, the UK, Brazil and Mexico over the coming weeks and months. It's already been testing the feature in Australia and New Zealand, where people who had been verified saw a 67% increase in matches compared to those who didn't, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
The gaming world is eager to get their hands on Nintendo’s next hardware, but it seems plans regarding the Switch 2 have been shifting behind the scenes. We recently heard rumors from numerous reliable sources that while the Switch 2 was originally slated for a late-2024 release, it has now slipped to Q1 2025, and it seems that may have a knock-on effect on how and when Nintendo reveals the hardware.
Recent reports have claimed that Nintendo has delayed the launch of its next-gen console out of 2024 and into Q1 of 2025, which, if true, would also likely mean that plans for when to announce the console have changed as well.
