Xbox’s July Layoffs Could Involve Studio Closures – Rumor

Warren’s report comes shortly after Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reported that the company is planning to undergo major layoffs in July. According to Schreier, this is Xbox CEO Asha Sharma’s attempt at mitigating the revenue losses that the division will be reporting at the end of its fiscal year on June 30th. Along with job cuts, spending across various divisions, including marketing, will also be slashed. Xbox itself hasn’t made any comment about the report at the time of publishing.

Valor Mortis Delayed to October 13th Due to “Absolutely Stacked” September

“September has become absolutely stacked with incredible-looking games,” it wrote on Twitter. “We knew this was a possibility, but when you’re in a partner showcase as we were, dates get locked weeks in advance.” Which would certainly explain why so many titles, including Control Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and more opted for the same day.

Resident Evil Requiem DLC Release Window Detailed by Insider

According to insider Dusk Golem, who has provided several accurate scoops in the past related to Resident Evil, this upcoming DLC for Resident Evil Requiem won’t arrive until after the newly announced Resident Evil: Veronica releases. This past week, Capcom revealed that its next Resident Evil remake would be for Resident Evil: Code Veronica, which is poised to drop in 2027. Although a specified window in 2027 wasn’t given by Capcom, reports have widely indicated that Resident Evil: Veronica will become available in the early part of the year. As a result, this would mean that the Requiem DLC feasibly wouldn’t release until mid or late 2027.

Alien: Isolation 2 Studio Wants to “Expand and Evolve” Beyond the Original, Says Creative Director

One of the biggest changes in Alien: Isolation 2, when compared to its predecessor, is the fact that it will take players planetside rather than keeping them confined to a spaceship. This, Hope said, opened the door for the studio to explore how it could tell an entirely new story. However, he also confirmed that this new story would still be “closely connected” with the first Alien: Isolation.

Doctor Who Faces Years Off Air As New Report Lays Bare Huge Challenges in Bringing the Show Back

Following the cancellation and Davies’ departure, Deadline has reported further on the show’s struggles and the obstacles that are in its way after speaking with several industry insiders and producers. The biggest takeaway is that Doctor Who will not be back anytime soon. Of course, it wasn’t expected that it’d return in 2027 after this latest news, but 2028 is presented as the earliest possible return year, with one producer predicting it could be gone for as many as five years. That would be the longest gap between seasons since the show returned in 2005.

Disney Animated Series Banned Following Successful Release

I was so excited when Dragon Striker finally premiered on Disney Channel earlier this month, but it turns out it won’t be airing in the Middle East. It’s really frustrating! There’s no official word on why it’s been cancelled over there, but I’m seeing a lot of talk online about a relationship between two of the characters, Odward Stonegarden and Casper Ferreiro. It’s not the first time this has happened either – The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act was also banned in the Middle East because it couldn’t meet their requirements for theatrical release. It’s a shame when content gets blocked like this!
