Ever wondered what’s buzzing in the gaming world today? Let’s dive right in and catch up on some of the most exciting news that’s shaping the future of gaming, from thrilling game releases to major corporate moves!
Major Discounts and Corrections!
Gaming enthusiasts, brace yourselves! Raw Fury has kicked off a massive sale, slashing prices by up to 90% on popular titles such as Friends vs. Friends, Cassette Beast, Townscaper, and Dome Keeper. This thrilling sale will last for two weeks, so it’s perfect timing to expand your game library without breaking the bank. Similarly, tinyBuild has also launched their discounts on Steam, featuring deals on games like Potion Craft, Lil Guardsman, Hello Neighbor, and Tinykin. However, note that these deals will wrap up a bit sooner, on May 27.
In a slight oversight from our previous updates, we mentioned that World of Goo 2 was set to launch this week. However, it has been postponed to August. At the time of the last update, Nintendo’s page still listed the release as imminent, hence the confusion.
Strategic Acquisitions and Steamy Arrivals
Nintendo has just upped its game by acquiring 100% of Shiver Entertainment, a company previously under the Embracer Group umbrella known for their adept game porting, including titles like Mortal Kombat 11. Announced today, this acquisition is expected to have a minimal impact on Nintendo’s fiscal results for the year.
In more gaming platform news, Kingdom Hearts is making its grand entry to Steam. On June 13, fans can look forward to Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind hitting the platform. Interestingly, this move coincides with Junio Jugón, potentially hinting at an exciting new trailer reveal for the main saga’s fourth installment.
Summer Game Fest Gets Even Bigger
The Summer Game Fest, a much-anticipated gaming event organized by Geoff Keighley, is set to become even more star-studded. Atlus and SEGA have joined an already impressive lineup of over fifty developers and publishers who will showcase their latest at the fest starting June 7. This update comes after our last Active Reload podcast, where we discussed the expanding list of participants.
Looking to the Horizon: Death Stranding 2
Even though we’re still navigating through a packed year of gaming, it’s hard not to peek into 2025 with announcements like the completion of voice and motion capture for the cast of Death Stranding 2. Such news keeps the anticipation high for what’s coming next year, proving that the future of gaming is as thrilling as its present.
From significant sales to strategic acquisitions, and notable festival lineups, the gaming industry continues to offer excitement and surprises at every turn. Whether you’re planning to snag some deals, eagerly awaiting new releases, or just keeping an eye on corporate strategies, there’s never a dull moment in this dynamic field!
