So, a day before the Xbox Series X preorder launch (which after the podcast was a complete shitshow), Microsoft drops the mic by announcing they just essentially purchased The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Prey, DOOM, and other major properties. Not much else to talk about, really.
The game news includes:
- Microsoft purchases ZeniMax for $7.5B
- Bethesda’s overhauling its engine for Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6
- Former Skullgirls developers have launched a new studio called Future Club
- Hades has sold 1m copies
- Blizzard confirms BlizzCon 2021 dates
Let us know what you think.
Nintendo has announced the continuation in a series that started in 1984 known as Punch-Out!! for the Wii. Once upon a time we all got to pop coins into Punch-Out!!, later we were able to power on our NES and play Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! or, if you’re younger, the version of Punch-Out!! with Mr. Dream (since Tyson’s contract expired with Nintendo and he wasn’t the champion anymore).
