  The latest patch adds in some graphical eye candy for those that can run it.

  The 2020 comic is being turned into a God of War-like action title.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is set to be a third-person action focused adaptation of the 2020 comic series of the same name. Like the comic, this game will be a darker and more mature take on the Turtles.

  Microsoft Cancelled a PlayStation 5 Version of Redfall

  Arkane's Harvey Smith says a planned PS5 version was scrapped following Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda.
  
  Redfall is an upcoming cooperative FPS that will have you and up to three additional friends roaming the town of Redfall slaying vampires. Redfall was announced as being exclusive for PC and Xbox platforms, which does make a lot of sense seeing as how the developer, Arkane, is owned by Bethesda and Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.
