Supermassive Games are the latest studio to announce layoff plans, with 75 jobs at risk just three months after Directive 8020 launch

Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology devs Supermassive Games have announced the beginning of redundancy consultations for up to 75 of its staff, a process that will almost certainly add to the thousands of layoffs endured by the games industry over the past few years. Posted on Not Twitter earlier today, the announcement of these imminient cuts comes just three months after Supermassive’s most recent horror adventure, Directive 8020 , and contains wording that’s uncomfortably reminiscent of the studio’s last round of mass redundancies in July last year . That, too, followed a previous round in early 2024 , in which an estimated 90 workers at the UK-based studio lost their jobs. Read more

Marvel's Wolverine "fully playable" on disc when it releases, Insomniac clarifies, perhaps making it one of the last few PlayStation games that will be

Marvel's Wolverine developer Insomniac has clarified the game will be "fully playable" on disc when it releases for PlayStation 5 on 15th September. It won't, in other words, be a disc-in-a-box that still requires you to download the game in order to play. This may make it one of PlayStation's last fully disc-based games. Read more

Random: Modder Turns Fisher-Price Children's Toy Into A Functional Game Boy Color

The chaotic new build is the work of the modder KOUZEX. If you have children or friends with kids, there's a chance you might have seen the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Lil' Gamer before. Designed to look like a baby-ified version of Nintendo's classic Game Boy handheld, it is a sensory toy that plays sounds and music, but isn't really designed to do anything more complex than that, with the "screen" essentially showing a static picture.

"Time will tell": Bit Reactor talk queerness in Star Wars: Zero Company and whether they'll keep working with Saudi-owned EA

In Bit Reactor's XCOM-style tactics RPG Star Wars: Zero Company , you play a custom character called Hawks who is referred to using they/them pronouns. With my armchair producer hat on, I suspect this is partly just a way to avoid recording several sets of voice lines for different player pronoun choices. But Zero Company as a whole does support expressions of gender that differ from heteronormative male and female archetypes – or at least, which differ enough to make me, a cisgender writer, curious about expressions of queerness and transness elsewhere in Star Wars. While creating a character for the beta, I wondered about how notions of gender might differ across the humanoid species depicted in the game, including Mirialans, Devaronians and Togrutas. In the end, I created a Devaronian character with green hair and copious freckles, whom I would gingerly designate as "Trying Their Best". Read more
