The fan-made *Attack on Titan: Requiem* was released online for free on January 15th as an alternate ending to the anime series. Despite being a free project created by Studio Eclypse, it faced legal issues with Kodansha. According to Eclypse, they weren’t directly notified about any copyright complaints. Instead, Kodansha issued subpoenas to send them DMCA takedown requests directly. Eclypse has now removed the videos specified in the legal documents, just as they did when initially requested, but they wish they had been informed about the issue a month ago when it first arose.

This event is expected to be fairly predictable, lasting around 40 minutes, but it will likely feature a good look at actual gameplay. It starts at 3pm in the UK, 4pm in most of Europe, 7am Pacific Time, and 10am Eastern Time – just half an hour from now.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

A new demo is out now on PC! It includes fully voiced characters, more ways to customize your character, and a brand new boss to fight.

The photo mode in *Ghost of Yōtei* lets you save up to 16 different camera positions, which you can then string together to create smooth, animated tracking shots. You can also adjust the camera’s zoom level from a wide 12mm to a powerful 300mm. Players have full control over depth of field, turning it off completely or setting it anywhere from f/1.2 (shallow) to f/63 (deep), and can adjust the focus distance from just 0.1 meters to a full 200 meters.

A fan recently asked Pocketpair CEO Bucky if *Palworld: Palfarm* was the project he’d previously hinted at, mentioning it was still years away from being revealed. He replied that it wasn’t, teasing that they have something “even CRAZIER” in the works. While details are scarce, it’s not surprising Pocketpair has more projects planned, given the massive success of *Palworld*.

It’s likely that the new game, *Physint*, will share some elements with the *Metal Gear Solid* series – that’s common when a studio revisits a familiar genre. *Metal Gear Solid* was full of innovative ideas, and it wouldn’t make sense to abandon them completely. However, Kojima Productions needs to surprise players, not just deliver what they anticipate. While many might enjoy a *Metal Gear* game with a new title, a truly exciting approach would be to capture the *feeling* and inspiration of *Metal Gear*, rather than simply recreating its features.

Ice Road: Vengeance is also a big success on Prime Video, currently ranking as the most-streamed movie on the platform – even beating out Madame Web. Interestingly, while the film is performing well worldwide, viewers in the US need to rent or buy it. Considering its performance on both Netflix and Prime Video, Ice Road: Vengeance is proving to be a global hit, and a film people are intentionally choosing to watch.
