Today's gaming news is defined by a single, seismic shift: PlayStation and Hideo Kojima have parted ways, with Xbox swooping in to save his next game. It's a story about creative ambition, corporate strategy, and the internet's reaction, and it overshadows everything else.
The biggest story today is the fallout from PlayStation canceling Hideo Kojima's Physint and Xbox stepping in to publish it.
PlayStation canceled Kojima's Physint in June 2024, and Xbox has now stepped in to publish it. The internet is having a field day with Sony's PR stumble, and it's a clear sign of where Kojima's creative priorities lie.
Rockstar explains why GTA 6 won't chase headlines, and a promising indie from the Tunic publisher gets a closer look.
Rockstar's Head of Development explains that GTA 6 has been in development since 2015, so they avoid making current events a major part of the narrative to keep it from feeling dated. A sensible approach, but it also means the satire will feel less immediate.
Finji, the publisher behind Tunic and Chicory, is releasing its next in-house game, Usual June, and Polygon has an exclusive preview. It's described as a potential breakout indie gem with 'Spectral Crab Action,' which is exactly the kind of weird hook that gets people talking.
A couple of retro collections and a hardware delay round out the day's quieter news.
SUNSOFT is back with another retro collection, this time for PS5, Switch, and PC, launching December 17. It's a straightforward compilation of 1980s hits and hidden gems, with a physical Collector's Box in Japan.
The NEOGEO AES+ console has been delayed to September 2027 due to unexpectedly high demand and supply constraints. PLAION REPLAI says it will honor all pre-orders, so at least early adopters aren't getting left out.
