Kotaku Tuesday, April 12, 2022 7:50 PM  Like pretty much everything else on the planet, the pandemic has knocked the video game industry on its ass.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 7:02 PM  The Xbox Game Pass April 2022 games list is swelling with one big indie game, and the good times are continuing into May with a spinoff of a hotly anticipated JRPG. Today, both Bugsnax and Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising have been confirmed as additions to Microsoft's subscription service, and they will be available on both console and PC versions of Game Pass. Bugsnax lands on April 28. If you missed the game between all the memes, it's effectively a take on Pokémon Snap - you have to puzzle out the needs of various creatures in the wilderness in order to capture them. The April 28 launch coincides with the launch of The Isle of Bigsnax, a free expansion that adds "around three hours of new story and quest content," according to the devs, including the chance to meet giant Bugsnax. Then, on May 10, we're getting Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising. This is a side-scrolling action-RPG, a spinoff of the Suikoden spiritual successor that's due to launch sometime in 2023. The action is broken up with town-upgrading mechanics, so you can get a bit of city builder flavour in your adventure. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, April 12, 2022 6:07 PM  Vicarious Visions, the Activision studio most recently known for remakes like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, has now fully merged into Blizzard. The process began in January 2021, but Vicarious Visions has now dropped its own name to become Blizzard Albany. "We've officially merged with Blizzard Entertainment," the official Vicarious Visions Twitter account says. "Our development team will remain in Albany, NY and fully dedicated to Blizzard games. We invite you to follow us @Blizzard_Ent." This is the studio's only tweet since November 2021. Prior to that, it was primarily retweeting promotions for Diablo II: Resurrected. Blizzard's jobs page now refers to the studio as Blizzard Albany - and as the name suggests, the studio will remain in Albany, New York. Polygon reported in October 2021 that employees were informed in a surprise meeting that Vicarious Visions would be dropping its own name, but it's only today that this has become official. According to the same report, no layoffs were planned. RELATED LINKS: WoW Shadowlands review, The best WoW addons, WoW Classic leveling guide |
