Indivisible's Production Has Ended Following Lab Zero Games Controversy

505 Games has announced that, apart from content that has already been submitted, there will be no more production on Indivisible following the controversy surrounding developer Lab Zero Games. 505 Games released a statement that clarifies this unfortunate decision, revealing that there will be no Guest Characters or Backer-created characters added to the game, even though they were previously promised. There is currently an update in submission for Nintendo Switch that will add Razmi's Challenges, New Game+, and Couch Co-Op, which will bring all platforms to the same level of development.

Amazon's Crucible Is Shutting Down Next Month

Amazon's free-to-play team shooter Crucible is shutting down on November 9, 2020, just months after its official launch on May 20, 2020. The Crucible team shared their final developer update and discussed what lead to the decision following the team pulling the game back to Closed Beta in July. The team made a list of features that were meant to enhance the player experience and, with the exception of custom games (which is slated to arrive in the coming days), it completed them all. However, after shipping those features and evaluating the feedback from fans, paired with the data collected, the difficult choice to discontinue development was made. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/27/crucible-review"] "That evaluation led us to a difficult decision: we’ll be discontinuing development on Crucible," The Crucible team's statement read.

IGN UK Podcast #560: A Crispy Slice of Heaven

It's that time of the year again where Cardy is knee-deep in FIFA so expect some football related chat. Also, Matt's been getting stuck into some new RPGs with Baldur's Gate 3 and Genshin Impact, both of which he's enjoying quite a bit.

Moon Studios on the Potential of a New Ori Game, Prequels, Spin-Offs, and Ori in Smash

Moon Studios doesn't have any new Ori games planned right now, but has "left the door open" for a return to the series – perhaps in a prequel or spin-off. One spin-off the team doesn't have much control over, but would very much like to see, is Ori making an appearance in Super Smash Bros. With Ori & the Blind Forest and Ori & the Will of the Wisps now complete, the studio has said previously that it's happy with how Ori's story ended . In a new interview with IGN, the team made clear that was still the case, but it doesn't necessarily mean Moon won't return to the world it created. Moon is now working on a brand new action-RPG for publisher Private Division, with no connection to its Ori games. "We are still in the pretty early stages of development," said lead artist Daniel van Leeuwen, "but a lot of the things we already have are very exciting!"

FIFA 21 Legacy Edition (Switch) Review

Seeing as EA copy and pasted last year’s FIFA onto Switch again this year – once again saying it has the same gameplay “without any new development or significant enhancements” on its store page for the full price of $49.99/£44.99 – I’ve decided to do the same and copy and paste my review of FIFA 20 on Switch below as my review of FIFA 21: There’s honestly no genuine reason I could give you to purchase FIFA 20 on the Nintendo Switch if you already own FIFA 19 on Switch. I don’t generally share the sentiment of the crowd that labels sports games as the same every year, but when it comes to FIFA 20 Legacy Edition, all of the comment section tropes are valid. For a series already drowning in microtransaction debate, the Switch version really doesn’t help EA’s case in currying gamers’ favour by essentially offering nothing but a barebones roster update for nearly the price of a full game. A ‘macrotransaction’, if you will. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters=...

Kingdom Come: Deliverance Being Developed as Live-Action Series or Film

Warhorse Studios and former Netflix executive Erik Barmack have announced that they are developing a live-action adaptation of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the popular open-world RPG that is set in the medieval time of the Holy Roman Empire. Variety reports that the project will be a collaboration between Warhorse Studios and Wild Sheep Content, with Barmack and Warhorse CEO Martin Frývaldský producing the adaptation, which will take the form of either a live-action series or film. Barmack and Frývaldský are said to be in the process of reaching out to potential writers and directors to expand the creative team.

Just a Piece of Cyberpunk 2077's Japanese Script Is Basically the Size of a Coffee Table

If you wanted a visual representation of quite how much voiced dialogue there'll be in Cyberpunk 2077, look no further than a section of the Japanese script, which is, not to put too fine a point on it, massive. To celebrate the game going gold , CD Projekt Red's Japanese localization manager, Yuki Nishio, showed off what he says is just a part of the Cyberpunk dub script - making up four stacks of paper that each look to be 2 or more feet tall. It's basically a coffee table: #サイバーパンク2077 無事ゴールドマスターです！ひとつの大きなマイルストーンに到達しましたが、これからも引き続きブラッシュアップしていきます！まだまだやれることはある！そしていい機会なので（あくまでも一部ではありますが）、日本語吹き替え台本の写真をどうぞ。 pic.twitter.com/Rg5PNu3aDF — 西尾勇輝 (@Nishio_EE) October 5, 2020 It's not clear quite how much of the script this section makes up, but it's more than clear that there's going to be a lot of voiced dialogue in the course of CD Projekt Red's long-awaited RPG. At one point, the sheer size of that script seems to have meant some expected languages weren...

Marvel's Avengers Boss Promises New Missions and Modes in 'the Weeks Ahead'

Crystal Dynamics Studio Head Scot Amos has said he's "confident" that players will return to Marvel's Avengers, with new missions and modes promised to arrive in "the weeks ahead." Amos issued a statement to Kotaku , who asked the developer for comment in light of what appears to be a diminishing player base, particularly on Steam, where it is now peaking at around 2,000 players a day , and has been dropping to less than 1,000. "We have a number of new content pieces coming in the weeks ahead including: a totally new War Zone mission type called Tachyon Rifts, a new Outpost that’s a jumping-off point for new story missions in the future, and AIM’s Cloning Lab, which requires a coordinated high-level group of four players to beat with new top-end loot rewards for finishing it," says Amos.

Microsoft Is Reportedly Bringing xCloud to iOS in 2021

Microsoft is reportedly working on a "direct browser-based solution" that will allow it to bring its cloud gaming service, previously known as Project xCloud, to iOS and iPadOS devices in 2021. As reported by Business Insider and The Verge, Xbox head Phil Spencer revealed the news during a "recent internal all-hands meeting." He stated "we absolutely will end up on iOS. We'll end up on iPhones, and iPads with Game Pass." The newly announced Amazon Luna may hint at Xbox's alleged plan, in that it will bypass Apple's App Store by being playable through the iOS Safari browser and will not be a native app. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/05/xcloud-might-be-xboxs-secret-weapon-unlocked-455"] Xbox's cloud gaming service recently launched on Android devices for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, however, Apple's App Store policies and guidelines make it very difficult for services like Xbox's cloud gaming ...

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Spiritual Successor in the Works From Original Writer

Award-winning game designer Sam Barlow is cooking up a pitch for a spiritual successor to Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, which he served as lead designer and writer on in 2009. However, the pitch will not be for Konami nor will it use the Silent Hill IP. Barlow, who is best known for his award-winning games like Her Story and Telling Lies, teased on Twitter that he’s working on a pitch for a Shattered Memories follow-up. Speaking to IGN, Barlow clarified exactly what this pitch entails. “[W]e have a game we’re looking to make which is very much ‘what was special about [Shattered Memories]?’ ‘how would you take that further now?’” Barlow says. “Like Outer World’s take on Fallout, or Bloodstained’s take on Castlevania, etc. So it’s not a Konami or branded Silent Hill thing.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/16/telling-lies-e3-trailer"] Barlow also says that it will incorporate lessons he’s learned from Her Story, Telling Lies, and his upcoming Project A and ...

Will Doctor Strange and Electro Bring the Spider-Verse to Spider-Man 3?

Outriders Delayed to 2021

Square Enix's Outriders has been delayed to February 2, 2021, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam & Epic). However, it will support a complete cross-play experience and will offer free upgrades to next-gen. Outriders was originally set to be released in Holiday 2020, but complications due to the COVID-19 pandemic and "work-process-restructuring" lead to the delay. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/08/outriders-release-date-announce-trailer"] Fortunately, Square Enix has said that the core game is in a "largely complete state," but its testing operations ran into some issues with the switch from normal operations, and the team needs "a bit more time to get it right and ensure that the Outriders experience will be as smooth and issue-free as it possibly can be when we launch." As previously mentioned, the good news is this new game will support a complete cross-play experience. Additionally, ther...

Final Fantasy 16 Has Already Completed 'Basic Development'

Square Enix says Final Fantasy 16 has "completed basic development and scenario production". As spotted by GamesTalk (and translated by Gematsu ), a Square Enix recruitment page reports that the company is seeking the final staff to join the FF16 team. The page reports that "We have already completed basic development and scenario production, and are continuing to create large-scale resources and build boss battles while expanding our various development tools." "Basic development" isn't a hugely specific term, and the recruitment page also asks for those who can work on level design, "large-scale" cutscenes, and character actions – so don't assume the game is coming anytime too soon. The careers page also makes clear that most staff are currently working remotely.

Autocorrect Creator Releases His First iOS Game

Ken Kocienda, a former Apple software engineer and creator of the autocorrect feature, has released his first iOS game, Up Spell . Appropriately (and perhaps sinisterly) enough, it requires spelling words correctly. As reported by Tech Crunch , Up Spell challenges players to use a Scrabble-like collection of letters to spell out as many words as possible in two minutes. You can check out the trailer on YouTube . Kocienda, who has never made an iOS app before Up Spell, fixated on creating a word game that would acknowledge proper names and slang. “Many games accept words like PHARAOH and PYRAMID, but not NILE or EGYPT. This doesn’t make sense to me. These are all words!,” Kocienda told Tech Crunch. An example of how Kocienda’s work influences gameplay is that a player can spell “s’ mores,” which involves an apostrophe, something many word games may not support. [caption id="attachment_241903" align="alignnone" width="720"] A screenshot from Up Spell, f...
