Microsoft and World’s Edge gave us our first glimpse of its upcoming remaster of real-time strategy game Age of Mythology: Retold during Friday’s New Year, New Age livestream. They also confirmed that it will launch on PC and Xbox later this year.
The series might never venture outside its home on Nintendo consoles, but has skyrocketed to enormous popularity as an alternative on Xbox and PC. Collecting cute creatures has a close-to-universal appeal, even if puts an emphasis on the possibilities of using them as workhorses or selling them on the black market.One area where has been notably lacking, however, is in the merchandise department, as a breakout hit obviously can't compete with the well-oiled merchandise machine that's built up an empire of products over the years.
The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for January, and it seems like it was a pretty solid month for the industry, although direct comparisons are difficult because five weeks, including the first few days of February (up until February 3 to be exact) were reported on this time around. Regardless, players spent $5.1 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in January and early February. The PlayStation 5 was the #1 console as usual, with Nintendo and Microsoft battling it out for second place honors – Switch was #2 in unit sales, while Xbox Series X/S was #2 in dollar sales.
Bungie has revealed its plans to overhaul its PvP modes in Destiny 2. Aside from some highly-requested quality-of-life updates, Bungie is implementing some notable changes to Destiny 2's Crucible Labs, Trials of Osiris, and matchmaking.
Some newly surfaced evidence suggests Starfield's Creation Kit 2 could be entering beta soon. But the upcoming test may only be reserved for Starfield modders participating in Bethesda's Verified Creator Program.
In Bungie's weekly Destiny 2 blog update, the developer revealed that the Prophecy Dungeon is seeing weapons added and removed from the loot pool alongside a brand new Origin Trait called Crossing Over. Since returning from holiday break, Bungie has typically used its weekly blog posts to outline major changes it has planned for Destiny 2 in the months before The Final Shape launches. March is going to be a particularly big month for fans as Bungie prepares a big mid-season update full of sandbox changes, buffs, nerfs, as well as offering Destiny 2 players a free weekly gift of Bright Dust.
2021 was stacked for JRPGs, yet Shin Megami Tensei 5 still managed to win a spot in my personal picks for the year alongside the likes of Bravely Default 2 and Tales of Arise. So it's immensely exciting to see Atlus giving the game a shot in the arm with Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, an expanded re-release of sorts that should sound familiar to anyone who played Persona 5 Royal.
Following the rumors and then the confirmation from Microsoft that several Xbox exclusives (Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush) would launch on rival consoles from Sony and Nintendo, many gamers took that as an admission of defeat in the console war. However, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter shared a completely different view in his latest appearance on Pachter Factor, believing that to be an incorrect perception of Microsoft's true gaming plans.
