Are you ready for a whirlwind of gaming news that’s sure to shake up your weekend plans? From exciting new game releases to surprising industry shifts, here’s everything you need to know to stay in the loop!
New Splatoon 3 Amiibos Incoming!
Gear up, Splatoon fans! Among the hottest updates in the gaming world is the announcement of new amiibos for Splatoon 3, featuring none other than the beloved character Marina. These collectibles are not just a treat for collectors but also bring additional in-game features that enhance the gaming experience.
Revival of the Concord Beta and EVO Kicks Off
In other news, the Concord beta makes a return, offering players another chance to dive into its thrilling gameplay. Meanwhile, Las Vegas is buzzing with excitement as it hosts a new edition of the Evolution Championship Series (EVO). This event is a focal point for fighting game aficionados, with major announcements expected from giants like Capcom, Bandai Namco, Arc System, and Riot. Although no brand-new projects are anticipated this year, updates and new additions to existing fighting games are on the agenda.
Spotlight on Forestrike and Game Studio Updates
Skeleton Crew, the creators behind Olija, have unveiled their latest project under Devolver Digital: Forestrike. This action roguelike casts you as a martial artist with the unique gift of foresight, navigating through challenges to save the emperor. This ability allows players to anticipate and strategize against overwhelming odds, blending planning with real-time combat that mimics martial arts film choreography.
On a less positive note, NetherRealm Studios has significantly downsized its mobile gaming division. This change has led to the layoff of fifty staff members and raises questions about the future of their current mobile games like Mortal Kombat Mobile, Injustice 2, and the recently launched Mortal Kombat Onslaught.
Mushihimesama Leaves eShop Permanently
In a surprising turn of events, the beloved game Mushihimesama will be permanently removed from the Nintendo eShop this August due to licensing issues between Live Wire and Cave. However, fans of physical copies have a silver lining: three editions are set to be released, including an exclusive super deluxe version in Japan. The future of other Cave titles like DoDonPachi Resurrection and Espgaluda II remains uncertain, with the company urging fans to stay tuned for updates.
