Rogue orbiting. It's an important time for Gundam in regards to video games, and not just because the fantastic looking Gundam Rogue Orbit is locked in for a March 2027 release.

Roy Lee listed as working on Silent Hill. Roy Lee, the producer of Weapons and the latest Resident Evil film from Zack Cregger, might have lined up a new Silent Hill movie as one of his next projects. As part of a new Wall Street Journal article — which documents Lee's career — the Silent Hill franchise is listed as one of the IPs he's currently working on, alongside God of War and Battlefield . Since the awful Return to Silent Hill flick came out at the start of this year (which Lee wasn't involved in), there hasn't been any official mention of another movie in the series.

Halo Studios loses roles, Obsidian now under Bethesda. Microsoft has now confirmed the rumours of the next wave of job layoffs within its Xbox division, as well as important changes to its internal studio makeup. At a top level, 268 employees are losing their jobs across Halo Studios, other first-party developers, and the Xbox Game Studios management and central functions layer.

Unlock the vaults. If you’ve been paying attention to chats during any live gaming event this year, especially Sony’s State of Plays , you’ll notice a term being spammed continuously – and no, it’s not “no disc, no buy”; it’s actually “we want Destiny 3”. Since Bungie’s announcement to axe continued support for Destiny 2 , many fans, including myself, were baffled that the Destiny franchise had no clear future. In fact, it seemed like it was actually the end of Destiny, considering Bungie itself posted a memorandum-style compilation of our journey over the years. Read the full article on pushsquare.com

I'm sure Rayman Legends Retold will release in better shape than that, though. Read the full article on pushsquare.com
