Did not see this coming. Paradox Interactive and developer Colossal Order (CO) are parting ways. Paradox will move Cities: Skylines 2 development to Iceflake Studios (acquired by Paradox in 2020 and known for Surviving the Aftermath), while CO begins work on new projects. Which ones is unknown.

The price of the Steam Machine, aka the 'Gabecube', will reveal Valve’s whole strategy.

My opinion
~$1000: positioned as an entry-level PC for casual gamers.
~$600: treated like a console, going head-to-head with Xbox and PlayStation.

There are already previews for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

✅ Positives
Classic Prime with gorgeous worlds, smart puzzles, and new psychic abilities. Combat feels fresh, exploration feels right.

❌ Negatives
Chattier companion and tone shift may not click with original fans.
