New Old New Star Wars Game

Lucasfilm have struck a deal with developers Skydance to make a new Star Wars game.

Except it's more a revival of an earlier game which had been in development and which actually began life as a Jamaican pirate game.

Tales From the Borderlands

In addition to the surprise and curiously swift release of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands first DLC, this week at PAX East, Gearbox Software announced that they will this year release a new Tales From the Borderlands interactive narrative.

Developed in house. The previous entry was developed by the original Telltale Games under license from Gearbox.

Netflix News

For the first time in their 10 years of streaming service, Netflix has recorded a loss of subscribers - 200, 000 in Q1 of this year.

Had they not cut services in Russia over their invasion of Ukraine, Netflix would have added 500, 000 subscribers. This still would have fallen far short of their forecast 2.5 million increase.

Starfield's Vasco

Bethesda have published a very brief meet the character type video for your robotic companion, Vasco, in Starfield.

There isn't much in this but would anyone take a sci-fi roleplaying game without a robotic companion seriously?

Superfuse Super Fun

There was more than one interesting development during our absence but when writing our catchup one was so substantial that we felt it warranted its own space.

Raw Fury announced a positively brilliant looking futuristic action roleplaying superhero game called Superfuse and offered a preview at the Game Developer Conference.

Apologies and Catchup

Apologies for the break in coverage. The Ion Sci-Fi Screen Awards took some recovery time.

In the interest of catching both ourselves and readers up as quickly as possible, we've produced this summary look at the past couple of weeks.

A New Sci-Fi Universe

There's more than a few of those - sci-fi universes - banging about so you might not be especially excited by the prospect of every new one.

But this one's a little bit different. Former Mass Effect trilogy and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic director Casey Hudson has formed his own studio and they've unveiled plans for a new game.

CDPR Gets Unreal

Today CD Projekt Red announced that a new Witcher game is in development. The Witcher is great - but fantasy - and they had previously indicated the possibility of a new game in The Witcher universe so this isn't a surprise.

Surprise comes in the form of their using Epic's Unreal Engine 5 to develop the game rather than their own proprietary REDengine.
