Gallagher joined 2K as a senior vice president and studio head, alongside Brian Horton, a former developer from Perfect Dark at The Initiative. The two are forming a new studio under the 2K label. While their first project hasn’t been announced yet, Gallagher has confirmed his new role.

I’ve noticed Capcom’s been really leaning into their biggest hits like Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, which is great! But I’m hearing they might be starting to look at some of their older, less-played series too, and that’s really exciting as a fan. I’d love to see them bring those back!

Interestingly, it appears that Mad Head Games, the studio behind Scars Above, is the developer currently working on the Knights of the Old Republic – Remake. They’re reportedly working either directly for or in collaboration with Saber Interactive, though Saber Interactive hasn’t confirmed this arrangement yet.

During the investigation, he found references to Project Juliet, a complete reimagining of Knights of the Old Republic 2. As of March 2025, the project was either in development or had been. According to Reilly, it aimed to update the story, characters, and overall content of KOTOR 2 with modern graphics and gameplay for current gaming systems.

In a recent statement, Tsujimoto explained that the company is tackling challenges one step at a time to increase its chances of success. Their primary focus is on key franchises like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter, with plans for new entries, sequels, remakes, original games, and bringing content to current platforms. While they currently release two to three major games annually, they understand the importance of expanding their development pipeline for the future.

In a recent article about the Nintendo Switch version of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, Game File’s Stephen Totilo reported that a complete remake of the 2004 role-playing game is still in development as of March 2025. The remake is expected to include content that was originally cut from the final version of the game by its developer, Obsidian.

We now know one of the upcoming LEGO games will be LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, as revealed on the game’s official social media pages.

Modern slot games go beyond just appealing visuals. Designers are creating gameplay that mimics the experience of traveling. One common technique is the ‘journey level’ system: after a certain number of wins, the game visually transports you to a new location, often adding exciting features like extra wilds or increased payouts. This rewards players for progress, not just random luck. Another popular feature is the ‘map bonus,’ where landing specific symbols triggers a mini-game where you choose a route on a map for instant prizes – giving you the same feeling of planning a trip. Sound effects also play a key role, with realistic noises like airplane engines or island music enhancing the illusion. By engaging multiple senses, these games create a convincing sense of movement. This approach keeps players more engaged than traditional slot machines because it blends mathematical calculations with a compelling narrative, turning spins into a virtual vacation. This subtle shift from pure chance to a feeling of control encourages players to keep playing and boosts overall engagement.

Okay, so I just heard that Death Howl is finally hitting consoles – PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch – on February 19th, 2026! The Outer Zone, the devs, announced it. And the best part? It’s launching straight onto PC Game Pass on PC, and it’ll be on the console version of Game Pass too! That means if you’re already paying for Game Pass on Xbox or PC, you can play it day one on either platform without buying it separately. No word yet on a Switch 2 version though, which is a little disappointing.
