It’s time once again to look back on the video game industry’s biggest stories, then wince in disgust. In fairness, that’s my involuntary reaction towards everything these days. Being cynical beyond all reason has its drawbacks.
Truth be told, things were more exciting than last week. Witcher 4 development is moving along, Elden Ring fans are creating a seamless co-op mod, and Lord of the Rings: Gollum is actually coming out! Yeah, there weren’t any earth-shattering reveals, but let’s be happy that nothing big got delayed.
As part of Hollywood’s never-ending quest to adapt every major video game property, the Twisted Metal and Horizon Zero Dawn shows are moving forward. The former has Nev Campbell, so I’m sort of interested. Speaking of film stars, legendary actor Ray Liotta passed away, and GTA: Vice City fans are really feeling that loss.
But let’s move on from the honorable mentions and look at the big stories from this week.
