    Haunted Chocolatier is still 'a town game', but it'll be more of an action RPG: 'It's for the people in Stardew Valley that go into the mines'

    Haunted Chocolatier is still what ConcernedApe calls "a town game," but it leans more toward an action RPG focused on adventuring, finding equipment, and getting more powerful, with monsters and boss fights. Eric Barone said it's for the people in Stardew Valley who go into the mines. He also said he's been struggling with following up Stardew Valley because he wants to recapture the feeling he had while making it.

    Former game retailer Zavvi enters administration again, says it cannot fulfil outstanding orders or pre-orders

    Former game retailer Zavvi has announced it has entered administration again and ceased trading, with BDO LLP handling the insolvency process. A notice on its website says it cannot fulfil any outstanding orders or pre-orders and cannot accept returns, and advises customers who paid for undelivered goods to contact their bank, card issuer or payment provider about recovering payment.

    Destiny 1 PC port project Project Golden Age seemingly gets a nod from Bungie boss

    A fan modding effort dubbed Project Golden Age is working to bring the original Destiny to PC, and YouTuber Flummoxed has shown footage of Destiny 1 running at 4K and well over 60fps. Bungie studio head of product and Marathon general manager Josh Deane commented on the footage on X with a joking remark. The project rebuilds the game from client and server requests and responses, and its GitLab page mentions use of generative AI, though it still has physics and rendering issues.

    Ubisoft Proposes Closing RedLynx Studio and Cutting 70 Roles at Ubisoft Singapore

    Ubisoft announced a proposal to close Finnish studio Ubisoft RedLynx, the long-time developer of the Trials motorbike stunt series, which it acquired in 2011 and which has a 25-year history. Ubisoft Singapore is also losing 70 positions, which the company said is to align the studio with upcoming production needs. RedLynx had already lost more than half its staff in 2025 and the remaining team was told to focus only on mobile games; according to VGC, the closure rationale is that it is not currently working on a new project and resizing alone would not keep it sustainable, affecting 52 staff. Finnish law requires change negotiations before layoffs, so Ubisoft describes the move as a proposal at this stage. The article also notes Ubisoft's share price fell from a 2018 peak of €100 to €3.84 in March 2026 and has hovered around €5 since.

    Jason Schreier reports on GTA VI development: studio doubled in size, project was once Project Americas

    Jason Schreier's report details the challenges behind GTA VI's eight-plus years of development and how Rockstar changed during production. Rockstar grew from 2,441 employees at Red Dead Redemption II's 2018 release to 4,711 across 12 offices, and the game went through a dark period as leadership struggled to settle on its vision. GTA VI was originally codenamed Project Americas and aimed to cover large areas of North and South America before being scaled back to Vice City and its surroundings, with Rockstar leadership maintaining the November 19 release date is achievable.

    I tricked DLSS into running on my AMD GPU in Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 with a single script

    A tool called HelixSR lets older AMD GPUs run DLSS 3.7 (Model E) in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 by making them believe they are still running FSR 3.1, then swapping in the upscaling algorithm. Tested on an RX 9070 XT, image quality gains were slight and performance dropped a little, but installation is just a batch script and uninstalling is equally simple. The tool mainly benefits RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 cards that cannot use FSR 4.

    Planet Zoo 2 hands-on: a beautiful sequel with aviaries, aquariums, and nature reserves

    After a few hours of hands-on play, Eurogamer's Matt Wales says Planet Zoo 2 keeps the original's solid management core, with animal welfare, staff and guest needs, and the economy still central. The new aviaries, aquariums, and nature reserves feel like refinements rather than a gameplay overhaul, with aquariums needing a filtration pump and attention to salinity, temperature, and depth, and aviaries needing roof supports. The author also notes the nature brush, seasons, and a launch offering of 9 themes and 136 animal species.
