Embracer Group's ongoing restructuring efforts have seemingly resulted in layoffs at MX vs ATV Legends developer Rainbow Studios.

One of the more recurring threads in our gaming universe is that bigger companies are doing all they can to acquire others to bolster their portfolios and IP libraries. Microsoft and Sony alone have been gobbling up game developers to ensure their current generation systems have plenty of exclusive content. But back in 2017, a major deal went down when Electronic Arts decided to buy Respawn Entertainment. The deal was for about half a billion dollars, and the publisher had made up that amount of money given the success of their titles.

Square Enix has revealed that its Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series has surpassed a fairly impressive 3 million sales. Now, it's worth pointing out that this is a combined total of all six remasters, as each game can be bought separately. And just to recap, the original Final Fantasy through to Final Fantasy 6 were given the Pixel Remaster treatment. All of the touched-up titles were released on PS4 back in February.

The wait for Payday 3 has been a long one, but Starbreeze Studios’ co-op heist shooter is finally just a couple of weeks away from launch.

Zen Studios, the developer behind Pinball FX, is releasing a separate M-rated pinball game with horror-themed tables.

Stephen Kick, the CEO of Nightdive Studios and director of the 2023 System Shock remake, has hinted on Twitter that the studio may be looking to remaster and port the 2007 first-person shooter The Darkness over to PC. 

Nightdive Studios has endeared itself to a sizeable audience over the years with its knack of developing excellent remasters of classic shooters, but in 2023 in particular, the studio has been on an absolute roll. So far this year, Nightdive has delivered a remake of System Shock and a remaster of Quake 2, while remasters of Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion and Star Wars: Dark Forces have also been announced. Though it seems there’s yet more in the works beyond that.

Though Focus Entertainment dropped some new gameplay for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 at Gamescom 2023, there’s more to come. The publisher confirmed extended gameplay presentations for the upcoming hack-and-slash third-person shooter and DON’T NOD’s Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden on August 30th at 9 AM PDT/12 PM EDT.

We've finally got an extended look at Soulframe, the upcoming fantasy action RPG from Warframe developers Digital Extremes. This weekend's TennoCon saw a short gameplay spotlight trailer, above, and a thirty-minute extended reveal of gameplay and character options, below.
