On April Fool’s Day Katana ZERO dev askiisoft released some extra silly beta DLC.

Called Katana HERO, only available with the Steam beta tools, it’s a… I’m not sure, but from what I can gather it’s a version of Katana Zero with insane nonsensical dialogue? That also has a story arc? That kinda relates to the main game at the very end?

I can’t find many user screenshots of it, and I don’t have it on Steam, only Switch, but its real and I’m jealous.

I think at this point SnB has been in development longer than some of the best pirates have had careers. Hell I think the Golden Age of Piracy didn’t take as long.

Thats really good! I always felt the refund-below-2h is a trap that tries to silently push you into your 121st minute of playing.

The Return!!

Telltale & Deck Nine’s The Expanse releases its first episode on July 27th, with the following 4 episodes releasing every two weeks.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series launches July 27th, 2023! – Telltale Games

Interested to see how this turns out, as based on interviews it seems Deck Nine did much of the development of the game, and Telltale has mostly handled the publishing and writing.
Their first big leap won’t happen until Wolf 2.

Take-Two have released their financials for the financial year ending 31/03. Strauss Zelnick says the company earned 5.3 billion in that time and has projected that the company will earn 8 billion by 2025 which sounds crazy (unless you see it as evidence that GTAVI is imminent). Zelnick was also quizzed on AI and its possible implementation.

Speaking of AI…

I think the only AI, John Carmack has ever worked on is his own inflated sense of intelligence because he always comes off as a wanker at best and a sociopath at worst…

I looked at who was attending and I was saddened (but not surprised) to also see Bill Willingham (Fables) also in attendance. I recognised literally nobody else by name or by work, I think it is just a bitchfest for has-beens and never-wills

And just within 24 the (first?) six DLC characters got leaked thanks to Amazon’s Italian homepage. :rofl:

Damn that was fast. But still, I’m gonna take it with a grain of salt.

Yeah, it’s a more credible leak than the usual „my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate works at NetherRealm Studios" but unless it has been confirmed or data mined it’s wise to not get to hyped for a certain character.

Because even if these leak is correct, plans can change. After all they were certain that they would get Ash for MK 11, even hinting at him being the first Kombat Pack until it didn’t work out and they had to replace him with Joker.
