Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is the latest ex-PlayStation exclusive to rock up on PC, following a collaborative effort between original developers Insomniac Games and porting specialists Nixxes. It’s also a skyscape-swinging, baddie-decking good time, so says Alice Bee’s review, and one that comes with plenty of special features just for the Windows version. I’ll be posting a more performance-and-hardware-focused guide to it later this week, but in the meantime I called up Jurjen Katsman, founder and senior director of development at Nixxes, and Mike Fitzgerald, core technology director at Insomniac, for a chat about how Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered makes the jump to PC.
Unknown Worlds, the creators of Subnautica, and Krafton, the studio behind PUBG, have announced that they’ll be showing something at Gamescom later this month. What exactly? That I couldn’t tell you, but it’s apparently a turn-based game and an entirely new IP.
Ex-CD Projekt developers who worked on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 have formed a new studio and are working on an online game with Unreal Engine 5 – and it sounds like a lot like Destiny 2 or Warframe as a ninja game in feudal Japan.
The new studio, Dark Passenger, was co-founded by Jakub Ben and Marcin Michalski – who previously worked on The Witcher 3 and its expansions on the game’s art team, lending assistance on the cinematic side of Cyberpunk 2077. Their new indie studio is made up of “game dev veterans and fresh blood specialists” and is currently in production on a new online game set in Japan.
Dark Passenger describes the game as a first-person stealth-focused online multiplayer game with co-op, PvP, and PvE elements – a lot like Destiny 2 – built in Unreal Engine 5. “Our goal,” the developer states, “is to create highly exciting online experiences that are focused both on cooperation and rivalry.” Players take control of a ninja assassin and join up with other players to take on other clans and search for mysterious objects of “extraordinary power.”
