It appears that one of the projects developed by PlatinumGames in collaboration with Nintendo might be moving exclusively to one party in their partnership.

Tomorrow, September 24th, Sony is bringing back State of Play at 3 PM Pacific Time. This extended (over 30-minute) event will share announcements and updates on approximately 20 PS5 and PlayStation VR 2 games from various international studios. You can catch it live in English or Japanese on YouTube and Twitch.

Enthusiasts have long anticipated the collaboration between Kelly Sue DeConnick and David Lopez on a fresh project since their joint work on Captain Marvel, and now that moment has arrived with their self-produced venture for Dark Horse Comics titled “FML.” In this series, we follow the life of a 16-year-old heavy metal enthusiast named Riley and his friends as they encounter the realms of magic and gods, which drastically alter their existence. We are offering you an exclusive sneak peek at the series! DeConnick pens the script, while Lopez handles the illustrations, with Cris Peter responsible for colors and Clayton Cowles taking care of lettering. Our comprehensive preview on the next slide provides a glimpse into Riley’s family life, his heavy metal background, and the perils he encounters.

After seeing the first trailer for Marvel’s Thunderbolts, fans might be puzzled by the asterisk at the end of the title. This asterisk was added last year when Marvel Studios revised their release schedule. Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, confirmed that the asterisk is indeed part of the official title, but didn’t clarify its meaning. While we don’t have a definitive answer yet, the asterisk could hint at adaptations from the comics that are connected to the Avengers.

Finally, it’s officially confirmed that Sony will host a new PlayStation State of Play broadcast towards the end of September 2024. There have been whispers and reports for over a month hinting at the possibility of this event happening in September. Given that Sony has held a State of Play or PlayStation Showcase event in this month consecutively for five years, it seemed likely we’d see another one this year too. Now, with all the speculation behind us, Sony has released details about the live stream.

11 Bit Studios’ “Frostpunk 2” debuted last week, initially through Early Access before becoming widely available on September 20th. The game has received high praise from critics, and it’s also been a commercial success. In fact, the developer has announced that over 350,000 copies have already been sold. Additionally, the estimated revenue from the game is sufficient to cover both its marketing and production expenses.
