Amanda Short+FollowGame studio with star team closes before launchA studio packed with legendary game developers—folks behind classics like Star Wars: The Old Republic and Fallout 76—just shut down before releasing a single game. T-Minus Zero, founded in Austin by BioWare veteran Rich Vogel and backed by NetEase, had big plans for a new sci-fi multiplayer game. They even had a playable demo that impressed people, but shifting market conditions meant the project never made it to full production. It’s a tough reminder: even the most talented teams aren’t immune to industry shakeups. What do you think this means for the future of ambitious new studios? #Games #VideoGames #gamingnews00Share

Aaron Patterson+FollowWill Dawnwalker’s Combat Change RPGs Forever?The Blood of Dawnwalker is aiming to shake up vampire RPGs with a hybrid combat system inspired by Batman: Arkham Asylum and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Donna Reyes+FollowClone Wars: Horizon vs. Light of MotiramIs it inspiration or imitation? Sony just sued Tencent’s Polaris Quest, claiming their new survival game, Light of Motiram, is a near-carbon copy of Horizon Zero Dawn. After the lawsuit, the devs quickly scrubbed their Steam page of robot mastodons and that unmistakable anime Aloy. Is this a necessary defense of creative IP, or is the gaming industry too quick to call ‘clone’? Where’s the line between homage and ripoff? #Games #VideoGames #gamingnews00Share
