Ghost Of A Chance

Ubisoft is teasing a new Ghost Recon game, and there’s a general feeling in the air that it’ll be another open world affair after the success of Wildlands. We’ll know more about this after the ‘World Premiere’ on 9th May, regardless.

Pokémon Go, but for Minecraft? It sure seems like it, as Microsoft teases the a more mobile future for the increasingly out of favour game.

Missing Sega’s Super Monkey Ball more than just a little? A new Indiegogo campaign highlights Rolled Out!, from designer Brandon Johnson.

These are just mind-blowing numbers to us, and we still haven’t fully realised that Mordhau is currently among the top played games on Steam.”

Good work, you lot.

Fortnine

Fortnite season 9 starts this week, which is great news for inexplicably angry kids and also maybe you after three or more beers. Epic is teasing a futuristic element for season 9, it appears. Practice mindfulness by choosing to forget season 8’s unfinished missions.
