UPDATE 8/7/24: Following its vague ‘summer’ tease last month, Nintendo has now announced exactly when Basketball is coming to Switch Sports. And, that day is soon. In fact, it’s tomorrow for those in the US.
Basketball is arriving in Switch Sports on 9th July, the company revealed earlier today on its Nintendo of America feed, with a social media post asking us if we were ready to shoot some hoops.

A little less than a year since its debut, seasonal content for Capcom’s dino shooter Exoprimal has come to an end. Or, as our Tom just said, it looks like it failed to meteor expectations, and is now set for extinction.

“With the release of Title Update 4, all planned Exoprimal seasonal content is now complete,” Capcom announced earlier today.

A spiritual successor to Disco Elysium is now in development from the leads of its cancelled sequel.
Longdue is a new independent studio comprising staff from Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM, as well as developers from the likes of Bungie and Rockstar. Eurogamer understands Robert Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov are not involved.
The studio’s first game will involve a “groundbreaking ‘psychogeographic RPG’ mechanic”, where decisions made in the narrative will reshape the world and its characters.

Yesterday, several former developers from studios such as Bethesda, BioWare and Naughty Dog revealed their upcoming game – the rather delightful looking Hawthorn.
Hawthorn is coming from brand-new indie developer NEARstudios, which boasts some impressive talent including Mass Effect and The Last of Us veterans, as well as Skyrim’s lead designer Bruce Nesmith.
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by Nesmith’s new position at the studio, though. Afterall, Hawthorn really does look like a charming combination of Skyrim and village simulation games such as Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. I am talking about mice chopping down crops that are several times their size, before preparing a nice meal for top hat wearing otters, all in a very Skyrim-fantasy style setting.

Following the demise of Yuzu earlier this year, Switch emulator Ryujinx has seemingly ceased development and been taken offline after its creator was contacted by Nintendo.

Ryujinx initially surfaced in 2018, having started development the year before, and was the first Switch emulator capable of booting commercial games. The open source project has continued since then, with creator gdkchan funding development through Patreon.

Now, though, it seems Ryujinx has gone the way of now-defunct Switch emulator Yuzu. Users began reporting a 404 message when trying to access Ryujinx’s Github page earlier today, with concern mounting when the emulator’s download page became inaccessible.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will feature two different control styles, but players won’t be able to freely switch between them.
That’s because the difficulty of the game will be altered to match the control style.
The game’s producers Noriaki Okamura and Yuji Korekado were interviewed by Famitsu and discussed some of the new additions in this remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

Hideo Kojima has signed with talent agency WME to “traffic control all that [he does]” and “handle exchanges with all the actors” he wants to work with, hinting that his next project may not even be a video game.
In an interview with Variety, Kojima admitted that whilst up until this point, he had “personally” been able to make the links and connections he needed, it had “become difficult to manage on [his] own”. Consequently, he’s signed with WME’s “very powerful” team to “work with talented people from around the world and create something new”.

UPDATE 24/09/24: The Kickstarter campaign for My Time At Evershine launched earlier today and reached its goal of $200,000 in 35 minutes.
Studio Pathea Games has further stretch goals yet to be reached up to $500,00, but with 29 days left it seems poised to hit these targets too.
Those targets include adding flirting and a new romance interaction for players to vote on.
