I have to write at least 250 words for a news post. Rock Paper Shotgun’s CMS (content management system) even has a built-in widget that shouts at me if I don’t write at least 250 words. "Page 1 body content is quite short" it says if I go under. How cute is that "quite"? I love being fooled into getting charmed by automated systems via colloquial British understatement.

Driving simulation specialist studio Kunos Simulazioni has today revealed that the upcoming Assetto Corsa EVO will feature a large, open-world map that "faithfully recreates the iconic Eifel region surrounding the legendary Nürburgring." The confirmation comes via Kunos' official website. According to Kunos, the map will make its way into Assetto Corsa EVO in mid-2025, at an unspecified point during summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

Kunos explains the map is fully laser-scanned, and will boast "unmatched detail."

Sony has confirmed its interest in aquiring FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa. The PlayStation manufacturer cleared the air regarding reports that it was looking to pick up the gaming and anime mega company in a recent interview with Yahoo Japan. It’s acknowledgement of what could be a bombshell moment for entertainment fans everywhere, but until a deal is finalized, it is probably best to keep expectations for a potential buyout at a minimum. “It is true that we have made an initial statement of intent,” Sony said regarding its interest in Kadokawa (translated via DeepL). “We would appreciate it if you would allow us to refrain from further comment.” Rumors that Sony may soon acquire Kadokawa first emerged from a Reuters report last month. It stated that talks between the two companies were ongoing, with one of its sources adding that, should negotiations proceed in a positive direction, a deal could be signed soon. Today’s confirmation from Sony suggests that talks remain active, though it’s unclear where things sit now. Kadokawa oversees a number of entities that could no doubt benefit Sony in the long run. One that many gaming fans have their eye on is FromSoftware, which helped launch gaming into the 2010s with its critically acclaimed Dark Souls series. The developer also found tremendous success with 2022’s George R. R. Martin collaboration project, Elden Ring, with its follow-up DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, launching earlier this year. Kadokawa also owns other gaming studios such as Spike Chunsoft (Danganronpa), Acquire (Octopath Traveler), Gotcha Gotcha Games (RPG Maker), and more. While some experts believe that bringing the media company under Sony’s wing may prove to be difficult, Ampere Analysis research director Piers Harding-Rolls previously explained to IGN that news of the company’s interest shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. It already owns about 14% of FromSoftware thanks to a deal made in 2022. “At the time, Sony mentioned a broader interest in cross-media development of anime and games IP to support its other media businesses,” Harding-Rolls said. “So, in that sense any deal for the parent company Kadokawa, which also operates extensively in manga and anime, is a natural extension of this earlier deal. These other areas align nicely with Sony’s anime businesses.” There’s no telling when or if the deal will proceed for now. While we wait for any updates, you can read about why FromSoftware isn’t currently interested in making Elden Ring 2. You can also learn about the ransomware attack that hit the game developer earlier this year. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.

Path of Exile 2 has launched into early access, and with it comes a revamped skill system. PoE 2 will stay in this early access state for about six months, but that doesn't mean it will lack content. The early access has three full acts to enjoy, with plenty of new content coming until the official launch. Perhaps the biggest downside is that only six of the 12 classes are currently playable, many of which are the best classes from Path of Exile. However, these new classes will also trickle in over the six months. View the full article
Proposals are a relatively common occurrence in Stardew Valley, but seeing a proposal that gets creative with the concept can be refreshing.

Creation is an act of kindness. One person sloughs off a piece of themselves, shapes it, wraps it, and sends it out into the world in the hope that it might mean something to someone else. Other people do this for us all the time and mostly we don't even notice. The work is unseen and unremarked upon even as, through repetition, we come to depend upon it. Until, one day, that light that they shine can't be seen. Maybe you left home, or maybe they did, but now it's your turn to perform such acts of kindness.

Epic Games seems to be testing a way for players to only have to add the necessary amount of V-Bucks to their Fortnite account when buying cosmetics rather than a preset amount. Like most free-to-play games, Fortnite has an in-game currency, which gamers can earn or purchase. It is possible to earn 200 V-Bucks per season simply by leveling up the Battle Pass, but since it takes about three months for a new season to start, this would be an inefficient way to acquire in-game currency, which is why many fans buy V-Bucks.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is at a crucial point. Despite impressive graphics and a famous cast, the poor performance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League overshadowed their future plans for DC games. The game's negative reviews and declining player numbers highlight the dangers of focusing too much on trends instead of solid gameplay. Losing over $200 million on this game is not just a setback; it's a clear warning about the risks of prioritizing a live-service approach over a well-designed single-player experience.
