News dump -

Xbox.com changed to blades to celebrate 20 years -

--------------------------------------------

Rumours from Jez at Windows Central-

Studio Obsidian actually aims to release one game per year for 7 years, or one game per year for the entire current generation of consoles. Therefore, 2022 will be allocated to Grounded and 2023 to Avowed. But another secret game, Josh Sawyer’s, is said to be in development. This will be developed by a small team, somewhat similar to the team that took care of Grounded.

next game from Compulsion Games, creators of We Happy Few, will be a “dark-fantasy” action-adventure game. Without giving further details, Jess Corden confirms that he heard the same thing.

Xbox already has a lot of games in development. Whether developed in-house or via a publishing branch that deals in partnerships with third-party studios. But Jez launched two new codenames: The Shaolin Project and The Belfry Project (Belfry in French), not to mention more.

Xbox is currently working with Swedish studio Mainframe, located in Helsinki. Composed of former folks from CCP Games, Remedy and Next Games, the team aims to “mix the best of AAA, MMO, and mobile games into a social sandbox, playable on any screen. The game will be planned for the cloud.”

Xbox should soon announce a partnership with a small independent studio that has already developed games known to Microsoft in the past.

You can play four hours of Riders Republic for free in the week before its release (so from Thursday), with progress carrying over. I'm surprised at that, but it makes me think they're confident people will like it.

It's amazing that the meme became a reality :lol: . I looked on the GAME website and it's not up for sale yet but is due to be today. The unit hold 12 cans; a few more than I'd anticipated.

So... is any GRcadian gonna be getting one?

"A 6-foot, 400 pound, 1:1 scale replica of our beloved console"

Xbox's marketing fella doesn't understand scales :shifty:

I might pick one up for work :slol: Is it the same size as a Series X or is it a bit bigger? 12 cans seems like a decent amount if it's the same size as the actual console.

That mute feature would be a great addition. Hopefully they enable the led lights soon also.

Better off just buying another Xbox Series X at that price.
