Are you ready to dive into a whirlwind of gaming news that’s shaping the landscape this week? From unexpected game disappearances to iconic comebacks and bittersweet anniversaries, here’s everything you need to know to stay updated in the digital playground!
The Unexpected Vanishing Act of OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome
Recently, gamers were on edge as two beloved titles, OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome, mysteriously vanished from Steam. This sudden disappearance was linked to a shift in publishers from Private Division to Take-Two, stirring concerns among the gaming community. However, insiders close to Roll7, the British studio behind these games, assure that this is merely a transitional hiccup. Both games are expected to reappear on Steam soon, once the dust settles on their new publishing arrangements. In the meantime, gamers are encouraged to play these games urgently if they haven’t already—there’s no time like the present!
Warner Pulls the Plug on MultiVersus
In other news, Warner has made a significant announcement regarding MultiVersus, their popular fighting game. The upcoming fifth season will be its last, with the game set to be pulled from stores on May 30th. Although online services will remain active until the season wraps up, the game will transition to offline play only. This means you’ll still be able to enjoy battles against AI or local multiplayer matches. From now on, all microtransactions have been disabled, although players can still use any premium currency they already possess.
Sims Fans Celebrate with a Hint of Nostalgia
As Electronic Arts marks the 25th anniversary of The Sims, they’ve re-released the first two games of this iconic series, complete with numerous expansions. These are available for purchase either separately or as a bundle. While this news has delighted the Sims community, the celebration is somewhat tempered by technical issues, as these re-releases are essentially the same versions that debuted years ago, leading to compatibility problems on modern computers.
Sony Steps In Over Bloodborne FPS Mod
In a move that has reignited interest in the future of Bloodborne, Sony has forced the removal of a fan-made patch by Lance McDonald that enabled the game to run at 60fps, a significant improvement over the original 30fps. The patch’s removal last Friday has sparked speculation about whether Sony intends to officially update this beloved game, which will be celebrating its tenth anniversary this March. For those curious about the patch and its impact, Digital Foundry has published a detailed article exploring its intricacies.
