Will on a Beach

Entertainment giant Tencent have released a Chinese commercial starring Will Smith for their upcoming post-apocalyptic open world multiplayer survival game Undawn.

The ad is remarkable on several fronts.

The Atomic Way

Here's something we weren't expecting - a live action trailer for retro futuristic action roleplaying game Atomic Heart starring Jensen Ackles (The Boys, Supernatural).

Mocking ineffectual wizardry by showcasing some of the game's technological weaponry. Fantasy counterpart Hogwarts Legacy set in the Harry Potter universe is currently topping sales charts.

Eternights Winter

Apocalyptic romcom(bat) game Eternights has been given a Winter (Oz) release window and there's a trailer with new gameplay.

Romance sims aren't our cup of tea but we do appreciate the bright neon-punk art style.

Marvel Success Flop

We have long expressed the view that tactical card roleplaying game Marvel's Midnight Suns might have been tailored for too niche an audience.

Now the verdict is in. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier hails it a critical success but commercial flop and reports Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick pointing blame at timing.

Rubicon Rises

FromSoftware's fantasy action roleplaying souls-like Elden Ring was one of 2022's major hits so when they finally unveiled the long rumoured Amored Core VI at The Game Awards in December with a trailer and a 2023 release date, that was huge.

Great trailer but no info. Until Now. At the Tapei Game Show producer Yasunori Ogura gave an interview (video - transcript).

The Last of Us Delayed

The PC port of originally PS5 exclusive The Last of Us Part I has been delayed from March 3 to March 28 for the standard want-the-game-to-be-its-best reason.

Could there be other reasons? Always possible but to our eye this short delay probably won't make much difference.

Secret EA Game Canned

Alongside the six week delay of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor a few days ago was another unannounced development at Respawn Entertainment - the cancellation of an unannounced game.

Following delivery of a disappointing outlook for current quarter revenue a single-player game based on the Apex Legends and Titanfall properties codenamed Titanfall Legends was dropped.

Jedi Pushed Back

Action adventure souls-like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's release date has been pushed back six weeks from March 17 to April 28 with the standard polish reason.

Curious that they didn't delay another week until May the 4th, Star Wars Day.
