I wonder if it could be for a first content release.
Today is the one month anniversary.

Doesn’t seem to be many fixes in it.

It’s the dawn of a new week and still no news on my deluxe code

Wow, so now that’s the second semi-reskin of a Deluxe Suit as a twitch drop. (Normal/Gold Skeleton Suit and now Normal/Gilded-Shoulders Boat Captain)

Whoever at IOI is setting these up… please keep doing that :3

(I am very sorry to the people who got the Deluxe edition , yeah that kinda screws over your purchase)

IO announcing layoffs, saying it’s because of the partner for Project Fantasy abandoning the development.

Not to get all conspiratorial, but due to the timing, I do wonder if they are trying to control the narrative with this, and it is really also about First Light meeting sales expectations.

Can’t get past the paywall myself, but on headline alone Bloomberg reckons that Microsoft/Xbox gave IOI the elbow on this one.

EDIT - I should also say that I’m really sorry for everyone at IOI who’s about to lose their job and I hope they end up in new employment ASAP. Hoooowever, on a purely selfish basis I have absolutely zero interest in Project Fantasy, and I’d much prefer IOI to concentrate all their resources on making the next Hitman game, and a First Light sequel once H9 is resourced-out-the-ass.

It is due to Microsoft’s massive incoming layoffs and cost cuttings as it’s financial year is ending today. Very sad. I’m expecting a lot of bad news tomorrow.

Ok, I didn’t know that. Explains the timing! Hope it’s all about Microsoft then.

A (non-paywalled) article covering it.

(Also, charming replies to that IO post, but then again, given the platform, unsurprising)

So any thread for that was opened?

Unconfirmed reports that a new Bond movie is in the works at Amazon. It might be time for a repeat performance!

I don’t think the next Bond film enter production until Denis Villeneuve is finished with production on Dune Part 3. It’s still 5 months and 7 days away from releasing.

But what do I know? But like Nolan, he’s very involved. I don’t think he would take the job, without being fully involved in the process.
