One of my biggest worries while working on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach was making sure it felt like the first game, but also giving players ways to handle the challenges a bit better. We definitely learned from the first Death Stranding – it was tough in places! Hideo Kojima-san said we really thought about the difficulty. We wanted to keep the core gameplay and themes intact, but smooth things out so it’s more approachable. That’s why we added a bunch more vehicles – to give players more options and make things a little easier.

Over the past few months, EA has closed down several games without much explanation. For example, the 2019 racing game Grid hasn’t been available to buy for two years, and EA never said why it was removed from online stores. It’s likely the licenses for the game expired. Once a game is no longer for sale, EA has little reason to keep its servers running, as maintaining them is costly and can create security problems.

Written by Jesse Armstrong, the creator of popular sitcoms like Peep Show, Fresh Meat, and Succession, “The Entire History of You” imagined a future where people could record and rewatch their memories thanks to an implanted device called a “grain.” The episode centers on a couple, Liam and Ffion Foxwell (played by Toby Kebbell and Jodie Whittaker), and the story was originally planned as a standalone movie. Robert Downey Jr.’s production company, Team Downey, even bought the rights to make the film, but the project was ultimately never produced.

Mark Hamill recently joked on CBS This Morning (as reported by Star Wars Holocron) that he thinks it’s ironic Luke Skywalker died from using too much of the Force. He’s mentioned this before, but this time he specifically pointed out that Obi-Wan and Yoda never warned Luke about the dangers of overusing his powers.

During the interview, Okamoto discussed the idea of a future Silent Hill game taking place in Central or South America. He suggested using local myths and legends to create a compelling story. He also mentioned Russia, Italy, and South Korea as possible locations for future games in the series.

The series finale was exceptional, with Studio Bones skillfully adapting the original story and bringing Deku’s ten-year anime adventure to a satisfying conclusion. However, some episodes within the final season were particularly memorable. Here, we’ll rank those standout episodes and discuss what made them so effective.

Swen Vincke, the head of Larian Studios, sparked criticism after sharing how his team is using potentially problematic tools while developing their upcoming game, Divinity.

A social media user named JuiceHead says they went to a preview event for an updated version of Starfield, and Bethesda showed attendees what they have planned for the game’s future. JuiceHead also mentioned that everyone at the event may have signed different non-disclosure agreements, but that what they shared online wasn’t covered by those agreements.

The details of this agreement are private, but the court has officially closed the case, preventing Sony from bringing a similar claim in the future. You can read the complete court document below.

The game has had a much better start on Steam compared to its recent performance, reaching 2,297 players at its peak on launch day. However, it didn’t quite match the popularity of the original game’s launch, which drew 25,785 players. Although the overall user reviews are still mixed, recent feedback has been mostly positive, with 76% of the 540 users who reviewed it recommending it.
