You know what game was actually alright? Immortals Fenyx Rising. Ubisoft’s Breath of the Wild-like didn’t burn up the charts—we scored it a respectable but not astounding 72% in our Immortals review—but it was a solid game with some funny moments and memorable characters. Characters who will have to remain in our memory forever, I guess, because a new report from VGC says Ubisoft has quietly cancelled a sequel.
According to anonymous dev sources spoken to by both VGC and Kotaku, Ubisoft has killed off a sequel to Immortals Fenyx Rising at an early stage of development, apparently because company brass felt that the first game had struggled to establish itself as an IP, which I think is MBA-speak for ‘people stopped talking about this game about a week after it came out…
The one thing Morrowind had too much of was Morrowind, and now, thanks to CaffeineSnake over on NexusMods, that problem is solved. First spotted by Elder Scrolls YouTuber Micky D, Morrowind Removed gets rid of the island of Vvardenfell entirely, leaving just open ocean (and the island of Solstheim, if you’ve got Bloodmoon installed). To quote the mod’s author, “Vvardenfell removed because y’all can’t behave.”
But it wasn’t enough to just yuck it up at this meme mod and call it a day, I had to experience a Morrowind-free Morrowind. I had to feel it in my very bones. I just dropped the .esp into my Data Files folder like with any other mod and launched the retail version from GOG so I could use the character I made at the beginning of the pandemic.

I was immediately intrigued by It Comes In Waves on seeing its screenshots and early gameplay on developer Antonio Freyre’s Twitter. It has a dusty, analogue, desert sci-fi setting reminiscent of Dune and Star Wars’ iconic ripping-off of Dune. After playing it, I’m happy to say I can heartily recommend this brief, creative exercise in tension and dread.
Freyre’s previous outing was last year’s Undetected, a retro revival take on Metal Gear Solid. I found the two share a similar philosophy on interrogating videogame violence, as well as a throwback presentation halfway between the first two PlayStations, but otherwise It Comes In Waves is its own beast.
You play as an unnamed wanderer who has done something… unspeakable. The game begins in an Anchorhead-style …

It’s always something of a relief to see the very first letter turn green on my first go, but it’s even better when some of them turn yellow on the guess after. I did somehow manage to neatly arrange those yellows in entirely the wrong order after that, but the follow-up won the game.

The original entry in the now-quite-widespread Atelier series is being remade for the latest generation of gaming, as Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg will be released in Summer 2023 by series developers Gust and Koei Tecmo. Like many games in the series recently it’ll be coming to Steam.
The announcement was made during last week’s Nintendo direct, with the information that it’s coming to platforms other than Switch released via Koei Tecmo’s website. The short japanese-only trailer will be followed up by a live presentation about the game on February 20th.
The Atelier series games are known for their take on crafting and collecting, where combinations of ingredients of different quality are added in minigames that create items. Combining different ingredients …
In an email sent to employees in Microsoft’s gaming division and shared by an employee with Kotaku, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said it “hurts” when people get laid off, but that in the long run it’s the best thing for the company.
“This is a challenging moment in our business, and this week’s actions were painful choices,” Spencer said. “The Gaming Leadership Team had to make decisions that we felt set us up for the long-term success of our products and business, but the individual results of those decisions are real. I know that hurts. Thank you for supporting our colleagues as they process these changes.
“Over the coming weeks we will have many opportunities to connect and answer your questions, including the Monthly Gaming Update next week for teams who attend that meet…
Share Market News Today | Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices Highlights: The benchmark equity indices closed in negative territory after hitting a fresh lifetime high for the fifth straight trading session. The NSE Nifty 50 closed 4.75 points or 0.02% lower to settle at 22,212.70, while the BSE Sensex lost 15.44 points or 0.02% to settle at 73,142.80. The broader indices closed in the green, with midcap and smallcap stocks gaining. The Bank Nifty shed over 100 points or 0.23% to settle at 46,811.75.
Mark Mobius, founder of Mobius Capital Partners, sees the Sensex touching 100,000 in the next five years.
Speaking at the Morningstar Investor Conference, he said that as the market fluctuates, it provides the chance to seize undervalued assets and conserve cash for strategic investments.
“There will be corrections on the way. I pray for corrections because it gives the opportunity to buy cheap. Such a good opportunity was during Covid. You don’t just ‘buy value’, you ‘buy good stocks’, with high return on capital, lower debt, and where competition is lower,” said Mobius.
