    Modders push back as AI mashup mods flood social media

    Long-time mod makers are unhappy about a surge of AI-generated or vibe-coded mashup mods spreading on social media, with one calling it pure slop and another saying it may be their last project. The mods splice unrelated games together, such as World of Warcraft into Call of Duty: World at War and Escape From Tarkov into Skyrim. The trend grew within a week, helped by Claude Opus 5.5's cheaper tokens and improved code generation, and none of the mashups have appeared on platforms like Nexus Mods yet, which IGN attributes to rights issues rather than lack of interest.

    PlatinumGames boss hints he wants to expand Bayonetta as Stellar Blade director calls the series "indispensable"

    PlatinumGames president Atsushi Inaba has hinted he'd like to expand the character of Bayonetta and broaden her world, though he stopped short of confirming a new game. Speaking with Stellar Blade director Kim Hyung-tae at Tokyo Game Show, Kim called Bayonetta "an indispensable work in my life" and half-jokingly asked to design characters for the next entry. Asked directly about a new entry, Inaba declined to give specifics, telling Famitsu only to wait and see.

Asked about a potential new game, he said "no comment." Series creator Hideki Kamiya has left PlatinumGames and is now working on an Okami sequel at his new studio Clovers.
