Critics of Sony’s live service initiative are having their suspicions affirmed lately, as the platform holder struggles to get its projects off the ground. While the excellent Helldivers 2 has launched to great success, Naughty Dog’s standalone adaptation of The Last of Us has been unceremoniously scrapped, while Firesprite’s upcoming Twisted Metal reboot was recently canned and London Studio shuttered entirely. The latter was working on a co-op fantasy game.

It's been a little quiet on the GTA 6 front, with Rockstar presumably enforcing a strict no-speak policy.

It's been just under a month since Helldivers 2 released on PS5 and PC. The co-op shooter obviously made a huge splash right out of the gate, and positive word of mouth actually saw sales increase post-launch, which is a rarity.

Dutch outlet AD shared the news that the layoffs at Guerrilla Games concerned «ten percent of the staff, or about forty of the more than four hundred employees», having spoken to sources.

Helldivers 2 doesn’t just have in-game shenanigans — there’s plenty of datamining tomfoolery taking place, with the findings being discussed online.

Arrowhead Game Studios has said that it knew that Helldivers 2's game master would be «divisive» with players.

In the seven years since its release, the Nintendo Switch has become a beloved piece of hardware. Not only is it Nintendo’s best-selling console, it’s one of the most popular consoles of all time. It’s also the console that boosted Nintendo’s reputation after the poor reception of Wii U. In 2021, former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé, looking back on the Switch, said it was a “make or break” console for Nintendo.

Developers at Funcom, the studio behind upcoming massively multiplayer online game Dune: Awakening, "sort of sidestep religion" in their take on the beloved science fiction universe.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been out for five days now, and it's surprisingly taken that long for players to start questioning what the heck happened to Moogles.
