Destiny 2 is in such a state that developers don't have the resources to allocate to the game, and most of the original team for the game has been laid off. In a Twitter post a while back, Bungie Comms Manager dmg04 stated that after the final hotfix, any major issues with abilities, armor sets, bosses, and maps may result in parts of the game being permanently disabled because there would be no dedicated personnel to fix them. Minor issues are still being tended to where possible, though.

Speaking to Automaton about the game's influences, Sandfall Interactive CEO Guillaume Broche says "one of the anime that inspired me for Expedition 33's story was Attack on Titan." Both have pretty existential themes and a cast of characters who are almost constantly face-to-face with a life-ending threat that seems inevitable.

"I really like the idea of a group of heroes fighting together, and I especially love the uniform," Broche explains. "When you see any character from Attack on Titan, you instantly know they're an Attack on Titan character because of the uniform. That's something I really wanted to bring over into Expedition 33, making the game recognizable just from its uniforms."

Broche then mentions he's midway through a series rewatch, "and really, it's an absolute masterpiece for me." Hear, hear.

Attack on Titan's instantly recognizable cast and sleek uniforms weren't the only anime-flavored well the team at Sandfall drew from. Lead character and concept artist, Alan Reynaud, shouts out Bleach as another important touchstone for the studio: "I have to mention Bleach because the character designs in the series are spectacular. One of the things we took from it was designs that are super simple yet incredibly memorable. We wanted to have something like that, with a 'rule of cool' approach. I'd say that was a big inspiration for the character creation."

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 director prefers JPRGs to the likes of Skyrim, Fallout, and Baldur's Gate because their linear narratives allow for "a stronger story" and "more memorable characters"

New week, new patch. This one overhauls the open-world game's economy with 133 new trading posts and more ways to fatten your pockets with the weight of endless gold.

Those 133 trading posts will start popping up after progressing through quests, but what's more interesting is how players can now interact with the game's various traders. Harder-to-reach trading wagons will offer you higher prices for the same goods, for example, while royal posts offer you quadruple the price they used to for selling stuff.

Trading posts also stock a more diverse range of goods, wagons no longer disappear after delivering goods to a royal post, and "trade good prices change when too many are sold at a single location." The basics of supply and demand, now in Crimson Desert. Essentially, there's more ways than ever to get rich quick and make the stonks shoot up.

"Added 24 new types of high-value trade goods and 4 new types of regular trade goods," Pearl Abyss' patch notes explain. "Packaged trade goods can now be stacked up to a maximum of 10 or 100, depending on their price."

There's also now a 'Claim Bank Strongbox' feature. "Depositing 10 or more bonds allows you to start investing," the studio says. "Bonds can be exchanged for 10 Gold Bars." And you can buy rare items with your bonds, too.

With so many new trading outposts and ways to engage in Crimson Desert's economy, the map will also let you use filters to find posts, royal posts, wagon workshops, and wagon routes. Heck, you can even filter the map to only show you trading posts that sell the items you're looking for, which is really handy for a game that now has over a 100 vendors.

I'd recommend skimming the rest of the patch notes to get a gist of everything that's new, alongside all the bugs Pearl Abyss have squashed.

While Crimson Desert continues to receive near-constant updates with free content, Pearl Abyss is also working on paid DLC that's "substantively different" at the same time.

    Migration system: Most of the system is being updated. The idea behind migrations are kept almost the same but the way they work both in code and for players is different. This will allow us to use the good parts of the current in-game system and remove what hasn’t been working. Also included are Patrol Zones which were always designed to be more than just another place to go for food.

    Footsteps VFX: This one is mostly code wise. We are updating the system that we have been using since working with Cascade. Niagara allows us to use one single master VFX and adapt scales and weights instead of having several per size, per animal.

    Entomb Save: This isn´t exactly a refactor, more like a new feature, though indeed it changes how saves work (a bit). Basically, this will allow players to keep a character stored after entombing in case you don´t want to play with the same animal again but also don´t want to lose your progress. So now you can keep that animal in a special save “slot” and play with a different animal. Keep in mind if you use the same species that you have in the entomb it will override it and you lose the non replicated animal (But you’ll get a warning first. No accidents!).

    Besides a lot of work in generic systems and bug fixes as always.

    See you!

    Director’s Commentary - Boyohboy do I know how all of you will misinterpret what he has said so I want to be extremely clear: ‘Entomb Save’ only works when you entomb an animal as you normally do now. This is not a RPG. This is not a MMO. It requires your current active creature’s life to end through either entombment or other means. You will not be able to “log out” in the middle of a creature’s life to pick a different one. Death is required.

    Also, the Migration System part is a little vague so I’ll throw a bit more here. Individual player migrations are added, moving players around the map on an individual level instead of a persistent species migration that calls everyone to a location. Herbivore/Omnivores have specific diets that are not dictated by the migration but being in your migration zone directly relates to your nutrition intake/conversion when consuming food on your diet. There are methods for groups to be able to have the same migration location as the groupleader so they aren’t forced apart by players’ individual migrations. More on that will be revealed after we fix up remaining exploits we can find with it.



    Wedge - Sound Designer
    This month the audio team have been working towards finalisation and polish of the Camarasaurus and Avaceratops call sound suites. In addition to these two creatures with Baryonyx’s outstanding subadult sounds complete, work has begun on the preliminary stages for Spinosaurus’ calls involving recording and sourcing material to work with to establish the beginning sound palette with early stages of drafting concepts.

    Camarasaurus has gone through numerous iterations of concepts and we have now landed on a finalised set of vocals which is going through final adjustments, clean up and polish now they have been propagated out into variations. The Broadcast and Attract rely on soothing song-like sounds using sources that have a similar sonic quality to the recognisable sound we expect from a sauropod but drawing from slightly different sounds; produced by both animal sounds and props. Its danger call is a short siren-like wail pulling from some interesting bird sounds maintaining some of the song like qualities but underpinned with a punchy deep grunt and structured as a ‘to the point’ call for alarm. Due to the size and subdued nature of this creature we landed on a threaten call that consists of a booming groan produced internally with harmonic overtones that have a unique tonal character – for this I found a combination of deep whale groans and processed prop source sounds generated from friction and a crow hunting call played through viscous liquid, creating bubbles that act as a resonating chamber.

    Finally, the generic call uses a similar sound palette to the Threaten utilising the crow call again; these groans and gurgles have some natural vowel movement which is accented with some complex filter movement that help the sound convey a sense of communication. These groans are given the addition of large purring rumbles from elephants to soften the threatening edge.

    I have also begun some WIP changes to vocal call reverb, delay and spatialisation effects to be more substantial in preparation for Camara’s eventual introduction as this will be a crucial element to the success of these calls, but will need to be evaluated on all creatures before it can be implemented.

    Avaceratops’ calls are nearing completion as well. The Threaten, Broadcast and Generic calls are all in the stage of final adjustments to polish, with the initial design and variations created they are undergoing some final tweaks; ensuring the tuning across tonal elements are homogenous and the mix is well balanced. Its danger call has had the initial design created and will be propagated out into variations following the polish of the previous calls with the attract call to round out following not far behind it.


    Fred - 2D Artist
    As many of you have seen through Horde Test clips floating around online, we’ve been busy at work making a lot of skins. We’re bringing back many skins not seen since legacy that you can enjoy in our current skin system. Old classics like the Four-Eyed Triceratops and the Python Omniraptor are slowly making their way into the game.

    I’m also working on making a set of “simpler” skins for each of our animals. These skins will be constructed slightly different from our typical defaults which will add a different flavor of skins to play with. Images are better than words







    hypno - QA Lead
    Over the past several weeks, a large part of our QA efforts has been focused on Austroraptor as it moves through Horde Testing.

    Getting a new playable ready for release is much more than making sure the creature itself functions correctly. Every new addition has to be tested against a long list of existing mechanics to ensure it interacts properly with the rest of the game. Balancing, interacting with objects and carrying them, diets, new and existing abilities, mutations, how it feels in general to survive as, and countless edge cases all need to be verified before a creature is considered ready. Any one of these could have issues with new playables, with the worst case scenario being that they could cause clients or servers to crash and, as we introduce more mechanics, this list becomes ever larger.

    Alongside gameplay, every required animation, sound, visual effect also needs to be implemented and validated. Even relatively small issues can become much more noticeable once hundreds of players begin using a creature in ways we may never have anticipated. Those of you that read a previous post of mine have seen what happens when we allow an Oviraptor to use the Omniraptor pounce - it’s not a pretty sight.

    Austroraptor has also introduced entirely new mechanics that require their own dedicated testing. One example is its ability to jump from the surface of water, which opens up a range of new interactions and cases that simply haven't existed before. Mechanics like these don't just need to work in isolation - they need to behave consistently alongside every other gameplay system already in place. What happens if you use a Deinosuchus to lunge at a person mid-jump? You would expect this to simply grab them and work seamlessly out of the box, but unfortunately that’s not always the case.

    We've also continued testing the new hill sliding mechanic. While the feature itself has been progressing well, testing has uncovered several unexpected interactions with existing systems. For example, we discovered situations where players could still activate certain abilities while sliding, creating unintended behaviour that needed to be addressed, such as resting or using charged abilities such as the Tyrannosaurus crush. These are exactly the kinds of issues Horde Testing is designed to uncover before a feature reaches the live branch.

    While internal QA isn't always the most visible part of development, it's an important part of ensuring new content arrives in a stable and polished (enough) state for Horde Test. Every issue caught during QA testing is one less problem players have to encounter after release, and we'll continue refining these systems as testing progresses.

    Speaking of which, I recently restructured QA and made changes to our testing workflow. With that, I am currently looking for more voluntary QA testers within EU and AU timezones. If you have any spare time to help contribute to the project and assist us in testing new characters and mechanics before they reach the Horde Testing branch, then please submit an application to the following form: QA Applications


    KissenKitten - Animation Supervisor
    The animation team is just about wrapping up on the avaceratops sparring so I’m looking forward to getting it in internal testing so I can make any adjustments it may need. The anim team is still working on the parasaurolophus, bringing it steadily closer to completion.

    On an individual note, I’ve spent a lot of this month doing animation revisions and additions. Austroraptor can now jump out of the water to give it an easier time navigating water-based obstacles. It turns more smoothly on the waters’ surface and it can make more use of its killing claws with a few animations.

    There are also revisions for oviraptor, general sliding and some new directional attack animations for the triceratops that should have them feeling more reactive which is something I’ve felt needed for awhile to allow for an easier time defending their rear. There are changes coming to diabloceratops’ attacks so they recover a bit faster as well.

    We have many irons on the fire right now with so many creatures needing testing all at once. So next month, should things go according to my grand master plans, I’ll be reviewing in no particular order, oviraptor, baryonyx, camarasaurus, quetzalcoatylus and avaceratops as well. May even get into some more human animations. We’ll see. Lastly, I've started exploring spinosaurus since it’s the next playable after parasaurolophus. Running the rig through the motions so I can assure the newest rig has the additions needed to really allow it to perform on a scale worthy of its embodiment. I intend for it to be a very impressive specimen. That’s all for now. Catch you next time!

    In case you haven't heard of Big Hops, you probably should, because there's a lot of stressful, awful things happening in the world and, like, none of them are happening in Big Hops. No, instead of AI and layoffs and war, Big Hops is all about tip-toeing around carefully... just kidding!

    Big Hops is about tongue-grappling and air-diving and being shot out of cannons while traversing mountains, sweeping deserts, and perilous oceans. That's right, you get what it says on the box with Big Hops. And now the title is even more accurate: Big Hops implies all of the hops, so many hops, and now that plural tense extends to your pals as well, as Big Hops 8-player co-op is in open beta on Steam.

    There does seem to be one fairly major caveat to co-op Big Hops, in that it'll only be available on Steam at launch, leaving PS5 and Switch 2 players to bounce around by themselves, which seems a little unfair. Director Chris Wade tells Kotaku that's because it's "easier to focus" on just one platform.

    https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/b_ej-83s8Bo Otherwise, Wade, under the banner of Luckshot Games, promises the full experience with Big Hops co-op. "Up to 8 players can play together through the whole game," reads a Steam update. "There are no concessions here, no single-player only content, no half baked version of the game you know and love. It's all there to play together."

    Big Hops Together, as the co-op mode is called, will fully launch on Steam on August 9, but you can try out multiplayer now by installing Big Hops if you haven't already and launching the game via the public 'Together' branch.

    Here are all of the upcoming indie games we can't wait to play.

    The Tickle Chicken is sharpening its claws.

    Thanks to your Extra Life vote, one of ARK's most iconic creatures is getting a fresh coat of feathers, all while staying true to the role Survivors have relied on for years. Rather than redefining the creature, this TLC focuses on improving combat responsiveness, controls, traversal, visual progression and expanding the creature’s personality.

    The Therizino has always had a reputation for turning an innocent stroll through the woods into a frantic sprint for your life, and that isn't changing anytime soon. Survivors will find that wild ones are a little more patient than they used to be. They now make their intentions crystal clear, fixing you with an unblinking stare, spreading those infamous claws, and giving you one last chance to reconsider your life choices. Whether you heed that warning is entirely up to you.

    Survivors will also notice that no two hardworking Therizinos look quite the same. A seasoned harvester proudly wears the marks of its trade, with claws and posture reflecting the work it does best, making every faithful companion more unique.

    We're also excited to reveal the brand-new Therizinosaurus dossier, offering a fresh look at this legendary creature and its place on the ARKs.




    [center][color=#27ae60]Download in full resolution[/color][/center]


    Species: Therizinosaurus multiensis
    Time: Late Cretaceous
    Diet: Herbivore
    Temperament: Territorial


    Like several other creatures on the ARKs, Therizinosaurus multiensis seems to be adjusting to our presence. It will even give interlopers a courtesy warning before attacking. The beast’s newfound tolerance works both ways, as tribes no longer see its encroaching populations as an existential threat. That said, a provoked Therizino is more dangerous than ever.

    From a safe distance you'll notice a Therizino adapted to delicate foraging will flash longer, sharper claws, while the rippers of a power-harvester get worn and chipped. Get too close, and whichever style of claws it has will tear into you with the same vicious double-swipe attack.


    We're lucky that it's still easy to tame a Therizino. Sedate one into submission and feed it enough, and it'll eventually fall into line. A mounted Therizino turns out to be more clever and agile than you'd expect, for such a big creature. It can turn on a dime, and hop onto or over obstacles that'd stop an Allo or Rex in their tracks.

    You'd be wise to enlist a Therzino's help in your tribe's fight for survival. It's a reliable and tireless harvester and those same reaping blades are formidable weapons. Saddle one up for the fierce protection it gives a rider from attackers and would-be predators.



    It is with wistful hearts that today we are announcing the Official Servers for 'ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition' on Nintendo Switch will sunset on August 31st, 2026.

We want to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey.

    ]]>     An "extremely challenging" action game is spreading like fire on Steam, with nearly 1,800 reviews that are 92% positive after a week https://xinker.org/an-extremely-challenging-action-game-is-spreading-like-fire-on-steam-with-nearly-1800-reviews-that-are-92-positive-after-a-week https://xinker.org/an-extremely-challenging-action-game-is-spreading-like-fire-on-steam-with-nearly-1800-reviews-that-are-92-positive-after-a-week Sat, 01 Aug 2026 05:02:02 +0800 XINKER - Business and Income Tips extremely, challenging, action, game, spreading, like, fire, Steam, with, nearly, 1, 800, reviews, that, are, 92, positive, after, week When Rubinite developer Cup Dog Games posted about the game's Steam launch on July 27, it had just crossed 1,000 user reviews averaging 91% positive. As of July 31, it's approaching 1,800 reviews that are 92% positive. I thought this game would be good when I played the demo last year, and it turns out it is really good.

    "We're truly grateful to every single player for your support and encouragement," Cup Dog Games says. "Every review you leave and every recommendation you make fuels us to keep polishing and improving the game."

    Rubinite is described on Steam as "an extremely challenging boss rush action game." I would compare it to Titan Souls (which is 90% off right now) – an isometric, arena-based gauntlet of boss fights with extremely tight core mechanics. The main difference is that Rubinite is a fair bit larger and more complex, not to mention melee-focused. Calling it indie Sekiro, as some people have, is a little reductive – and, given the focus on dodging over parrying, inaccurate – but it does give you a decent idea of the pacing.

    https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/_XhDYcH3dgU You play as a young princess named Ruby, whose crimson eyes allow her to see the weak points of monstrous bosses. You can sneak in quick dagger attacks, but the name of the game is charging up attacks to deal lethal damage to exposed weaknesses.

    Here's the fuel that makes this whole engine work: the closer you are to bosses, the faster your attacks charge up. Equally, the closer you are, the harder it is to dodge enemy attacks. This is the knife's edge that Rubinite walks, and it's ridden it straight to the hallowed lands of Steam acclaim.

    Add in upgrade and skill systems that further elevate combat, render it in lovely pixel art, and pack it all into a mercifully short game (seemingly 10 - 12 hours) and you've got yourself a stew. As of July 30, Rubinite is also Steam Deck verified, and it seems like a natural fit for a handheld PC.

    Soulslike RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is getting a sequel from its original director, who formed a new studio after his alleged firing following censorship backlash.

    We have made a lot of changes related with items, in order to make sure we don't do silly mistakes we created PTR, our testing server.

    PTR is NOT LIVE SERVER progression but has a version of your characters for testing. Progression can be reset/changed. There is no connection to live servers.

    PTR will be used to keep transparency for upcoming changes and what we been working on. It also helps us deliver more stable updates to the live servers.

    You can help us test AH, Trading, Guild storage and other fixes right now on PTR. We already caught few remaining issues but report anything you find in Discord

    When will PTR changes go to live server?

    While we have the final say, it will depend on PTR players, if most players are happy with the stability, we will push them live. Could be fast, could take a bit depending on what we find. The difference is you can check PTR on progress, we basically update it daily.

    How to join PTR testing

    -> Right click Spirit vale in library

    -> Properties

    -> Game Versions & Betas

    -> Select publictest

    -> Open game & join test server

    We hope to have all sorted soon!

    ]]>     Dev ports Half-Life to the PS1, asks Valve if it's cool with that, and says he'll "make it public" if he doesn't hear back in a month https://xinker.org/dev-ports-half-life-to-the-ps1-asks-valve-if-its-cool-with-that-and-says-hell-make-it-public-if-he-doesnt-hear-back-in-a-month https://xinker.org/dev-ports-half-life-to-the-ps1-asks-valve-if-its-cool-with-that-and-says-hell-make-it-public-if-he-doesnt-hear-back-in-a-month Sat, 01 Aug 2026 03:25:02 +0800 XINKER - Business and Income Tips Dev, ports, Half-Life, the, PS1, asks, Valve, its, cool, with, that, and, says, hell, make, public, doesnt, hear, back, month People are really out here porting Half-Life to the PlayStation 1.

    Manny, of Bonnie Studios, is a self-described "software engineer, guitarist, and game developer from Sicily." His debut YouTube video promises "Half-Life on a Real PlayStation 1," and 14 minutes of glorious 1998 technology revisited with 2026 technology bears that promise out.

    "Not an emulator and not a demake: a renderer and game runtime written from scratch in Rust," Manny stresses.

    https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/aEaa9CeCsbQ Manny is more broadly known for {LINK REMOVED}PSoXide, a PS1 development tech stack that, per his https://bonnie-studios.itch.io/ page, covers an "emulator + Rust SDK + game engine + editor + asset pipeline." In this case, Half-Life was written fully for the Rust coding language without reliance on a traditional emulator, and is running on a proper PS1 console – in this case, "direct capture" off an SCPH-9002 model PS1.

    "This is the full Hazard Course, all seven maps, start to finish in one sitting with no cuts," Manny explains in the video description. The Hazard Course is basically the tutorial prologue for Half-Life – a good sandbox for a demonstration like this.

    "The deaths, the retries, the moment I get stuck inside a wall and die, and the audio glitches are all still in it," Manny asserts. "It averages around 17fps, holding 20 most of the time and dropping to 10-16 in the widest areas. The capture chain adds about 100ms between the pad and the picture, so it plays tighter on the console than it looks here."

    As a quick refresher, the PS1 was released in North America by Sony in 1995, Valve dropped Half-Life in 1998, and the significantly more powerful PS2 arrived in 2000. Lauded for its advanced tech and physics, Half-Life launched on PC and only came to the PS2 in 2001.

    Getting the game running at all on a system that predates it by several years is pretty impressive work, even if artifact-like graphical distortions do make it look like protagonist Gordon Freeman pounded back a few benadryl cocktails garnished with melatonin gummies before work.



    (Image credit: Valve) Manny lays out just "some" of the workarounds necessary to fit 10 pounds of game into a 5-pound console: "BSP traversal doubling as painter's order for the ordering table, PVS culling, 16 colour CLUTs at 4 bits per pixel, LZ4 map chunks streamed into a static buffer, animation frames pre-posed at cook time because there is no FPU and no heap, SPU ADPCM audio and 27 Red Book CD tracks on the disc."

    Which is all to say: squeezing blood from stone.

    This being a fan effort, Manny says he's reached out to Valve "asking them to greenlight the project" before releasing the source code. "For legal reasons there will never be a downloadable disc image or a ready-to-play build," he adds. But if Valve miraculously gives him the thumbs up, or if he has "not heard back in a month or so," he says "I will take that as no objection and make it public."

    Manny is doing much better than the company that promised and sold a Portal-inspired Steam Machine Companion Cube case "without ever asking Valve" for permission.

    "Once released you will need your own lawfully obtained Steam copy of Half-Life: the converter reads it on your own machine and builds the disc from there," Manny adds. That, and you'll need a PS1.

    On Twitter, Manny reveals that his next project hopes to get "Minecraft-style worlds running natively on PlayStation 1 hardware." That's full "chunk streaming, day/night, mobs and caves on a 33MHz CPU."

    Earlier this month, a designer at Valve recreated Half-Life 2's Ravenholm in the company's new Source 2 engine, saying he was "blown away at powerful these tools are."

    The "final game" from Half-Life 2 and Dishonored's late art director has been revealed: "The world's first Soulslike FPS," an apocalyptic Western at "the end of America."

A remake in every sense of the word, three distinct games have been made out of the original one, and Square Enix has been liberal with changes and expansions to the story, combat, world, and minigames, which naturally means fans have been squabbling online about all of the differences for about six years now. Naoki Hamaguchi, director on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Revelation, sees that as a good thing.

    Ahead of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation's release next year, Hamaguchi tells Automaton he's "grateful" for the remake trilogy's discourse because it means people care.

    "Games are a medium, a community, and a culture. While a culture has certain unchanging aspects, I believe it only truly shapes into a culture when people discuss it from many different perspectives," says Hamaguchi. "If everyone looked at something in exactly the same way, I think it might not leave a lasting impression and could fade into obscurity over time. The very fact that the community is so active, that conversations happen, and debates keep erupting, is a kind of entertainment in and of itself."

    I don't know about you, but I'm tickled by the mental image of Hamaguchi browsing Final Fantasy-related subreddits, sipping a cup of coffee, and giggling as his diehard fans argue about impossibly hot fantasy characters with big hair. In more elegant words, Hamaguchi says those heated discussions are proof of passion, which is hard to argue with.

    "When people discuss and get heated about the minigames, the story, or the relationships between characters in FFVII, I think that only happens because they see value in those elements," he says. "I'm proud that this series has enough depth and capacity to inspire those kinds of discussions."

    Even from game to game in the remake series, there's a lot of variation in terms of gameplay and structure, with the first 2020 entry being far more linear than the massive open world that is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Hamaguchi told GamesRadar+ in a recent interview that people "got a little bit tired" of all the side quests in Rebirth and might have "stepped away" in exhaustion, which suggests Revelation could be a little more streamlined.

    Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director wants "some kind of physical edition" for the RPG, but he can't promise it as Sony becomes the latest to "shift away" toward digital

    ]]>     The Odyssey release saw Assassin's Creed: Odyssey player engagement jump 90%, analyst says Ubisoft can thank Christopher Nolan for its best week in years https://xinker.org/the-odyssey-release-saw-assassins-creed-odyssey-player-engagement-jump-90-analyst-says-ubisoft-can-thank-christopher-nolan-for-its-best-week-in-years https://xinker.org/the-odyssey-release-saw-assassins-creed-odyssey-player-engagement-jump-90-analyst-says-ubisoft-can-thank-christopher-nolan-for-its-best-week-in-years Sat, 01 Aug 2026 02:06:03 +0800 XINKER - Business and Income Tips The, Odyssey, release, saw, Assassins, Creed:, Odyssey, player, engagement, jump, 90, analyst, says, Ubisoft, can, thank, Christopher, Nolan, for, its, best, week, years Assassin's Creed: Odyssey player count soared for the first time in years since Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey adaptation released earlier this month, according to data gathered by Alinea Analytics.

    Alinea head of market analysis Rhys Elliott explains in a new post on Substack that, once The Odyssey zapped onto IMAX screens on July 17, "the cultural spillover into games was immediate." 10 days later, Ubisoft's 2018 ancient Greek adventure Assassin's Creed: Odyssey had nearly doubled its active player count, swelling from an approximate total of 122,000 players to 233,000 across platforms.

    "That's a 90% surge in engagement," says Elliott, "at 1.8x the game's pre-film July baseline." But unlike the Greeks as they piled into their Trojan horse, most recent Assassin's Creed: Odyssey players are unwilling to risk more than a boring afternoon. Only 26% of the action RPG's new recruits came from Steam, while PlayStation players went off like a car alarm up 94% to 114,000 daily active users, and Xbox boomed plus-134% from 36,000 to 84,000 active users.

    Probably, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's luck on console came from PS Plus and Game Pass subscribers – even with Game Pass currently limping toward death. Elliott says, "Lapsed fans jumped straight back in, while new players found a 60+ hour Greek epic waiting inside a subscription they already pay for."

    Though, Nolan's The Odyssey also blessed Ubisoft's Odyssey with some fresh sales. "Software sales moved modestly at around 400K copies year-to-date," Elliott says, but the real news "is pure player engagement. The film didn't make millions buy an eight-year-old game, but it got a massive cohort playing it again. That data gives Ubisoft great ammunition for an eventual AC Odyssey Resynced."

    The developer's recent Black Flag Resynced has been a gargantuan financial success for Ubisoft, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it capitalize further on Nolan fever – if it stops laying off devs long enough to do so.

    Ubisoft had a very on-brand problem with Assassin's Creed Odyssey: there weren't many tall buildings in Ancient Greece even though it's a "climbing-frame game."

    • Обновлены рецепты крафта, разбора и ампутаций у миниганной и лазерной турелей. Теперь с ним можно получить Судью АБВ и ПВ-277, повышен шанс получить их через ампутацию. Можете попрощаться с Призмой.
