You know an interview came out nicely when the same website runs *five* different stories about it! Was fascinating to get Team Cherry's take on a whole lot of topics. Lots more cool indie coverage coming to Bloomberg this week!! www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

After finishing up the DLC they have planned for Silksong, Team Cherry are thinking about making something brand new rather than a Hollow Knight 3, they tell me www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

It would have taken former xDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin less time to read the story than it did to write this long but inaccurate tweet. As the actual story says, the team that would go on to make Dispatch worked on Splinter Cell in 2017, two years before Rubin even joined Ubisoft.

Dispatch coming out in episodes appears to have been a very good strategy for developer Adhoc Studio. Astounding numbers here. Episodic games often risk losing audience attention over time but 8 episodes across 4 weeks seems like the perfect cadence to keep players hooked and talking

My colleagues at Bloomberg report that the $20 billion debt in the EA deal is expected to be rated single-B — meaning it is considered a "junk" loan, or one that is high-risk and speculative, typically offering high interest rates. Which the new EA will have to pay

I've been replaying CrossCode (2018) and I think it's become one of my favorite games of all time. It's an SNES-style action-RPG inspired by Zelda and Secret of Mana set within a fictional MMORPG. Strong combat, good jokes, devious puzzles. If you haven't played it, you should

For the last week or so I've been obsessed with Nurikabe World, a serene game that's sort of like a cross between Minesweeper and Sudoku. It's got that trance-like, "just one more game" pull store.steampowered.com/app/2964540/...

I'm seeing this headline make the rounds on Reddit but it is incredibly misleading. The people who worked on Blackbird at ZeniMax Online Studios are only still employed while their union negotiates a severance package. Almost all of them are losing their jobs. Just hasn't formally happened yet
