Playground Games have taken to the socials to reiterate that their Fable reboot is still currently set to arrive in autumn 2026, while a report claming that it could slip beyond that point buzzes around.
As you may well know, Edwin has been devoured by The Maw more than once in his time as news editor. Though you cant say he's not learned from the experience of being a digestee. Knowing that The Maw becomes particularly agitated in weeks stuffed with new releases, I suspect he saw the bloated Steam Upcoming chart and hastily booked his holiday, leaving us to wrangle the beast.
Stop Killing Games, the campaign group seeking to prevent online games being rendered unplayable when publishers shut down their servers, have moved to support a Californian bill that in its current form would require studios to either update games with impending server shutterings to they keep working independently aftwards or provide full refunds. The movement also claim their UK efforts are "far from dead in the water", noting they were called in to advise the Department for Culture, Media & Sport last week.
Sundays are for remembering the glorious sunshine you enjoyed but half a week ago, while looking out at eleven degrees Celsius' worth of grey skies and drizzle. Did you know some people actually like rain? Imagine. The weather taste equivalent of forgoing a beautifully soft, Emperor-size memory foam mattress to sleep on a beach towel with some used needles poking out of it because "It’s more refreshing." The ruin of humanity.

I truly wonder when enough will be enough for Roblox Corporation. We all know how much money Roblox is raking in, and yet yesterday it was announced that a shiny new subscription service called Roblox Plus is on the way.

I do not like the combination of the words "Epic Games," "Disney," and "extraction shooter," yet write them I must. That's because of a new report from Bloomberg (paywalled), which digs into some of the issues the Fortnite developer has been facing in recent years with the popular battle royale, and the hopes the company is pinning on its Disney deal.
There are a myriad of reasons you might want to skip a cutscene in a game. It plays right before a boss you keep dying to and you just want to get back to it, you're a speedrunner, hell, you just don't care all that much about the story but like the gameplay. Different strokes! What I don't really understand is a desire to watch all the cutscenes, but sped up, an option Crimson Desert has offered right from the get go. Which, through its latest update, can go even faster. So long attention span, I knew thee well.
