German company Isar Aerospace has raised $165 million in order to ramp up the development of its Spectrum rocket, which is scheduled for its debut launch later this year. For Europeans needing access to space, the rocket’s arrival will come not a moment too soon.
RPS@PAX 2023: We chat with Tic Toc Games about their upcoming, smack-talking RPG Wrestle Story

Imagine for a moment, if you will, that Persona 5 let you suplex your opponents. Even better, imagine if those moves were pulled off through timing based minigames that resembled the battles found in Nintendo’s excellent (and underrated) Mario & Luigi RPG series. Sounds good, right? Well guess what, that game exists! It’s called Wrestle Story and it’s definitely a project to keep an eye on.
After spending twenty glorious minutes with its colourful demo at PAX East, I was keen to chat to creative director Steve Jimenez about the team’s inspirations, the challenges of translating wrestling into a turn-based RPG and the exciting locations that players will attempt to liberate from a group of devious heels.
RPS@PAX 2023: We chat with solo dev Billy Basso and publisher Bigmode about their upcoming moody metroidvania Animal Well

Out of all the game demos Liam and I have played at PAX East, we both agree that Animal Well is something special. It’s a 2D metriodvania where you play as a little blob trying to navigate a subtterranean labyrinth filled with creatures – some cute, some not so cute.
To find out more about this strange puzzle platformer’s beginnings and development, we spoke to solo develeoper Billy Basso and Bigmode’s Leah Gastrow which you can view in the two videos below.

Bungie Outlines Upcoming Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner Changes
The latest Bungie developer blog outlines events coming to Destiny 2, including Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner. Trials of Osiris returns from hiatus on Friday and resets on Tuesday, March 21. Next week features Iron Banner mode, Control, followed by Eruption in Week 6 and Fortress in Week 9. Here’s the brief rundown of what the new events introduce to the game.
Trials no longer has a Freelance node, so it’s only 3v3 Fireteam Matchmaking. New Trials of Osiris rewards include:
- The Immortal, a brand new 750 RPM Strand Legendary Submachine Gun that utilizes perks like Rangefinder and Killing Wind.
- Astral Horizon, a Kinetic Aggressive Frame Shotgun. This weapon returns with the Slideshot, Surplus, and Opening Shot perks. Bungie hints that Shot Swap or Elemental Capacitor will also be available as new perks.
Starting this season, Trials of Osiris engrams stay with Saint-14 until you decode them. You can’t decode Trials engrams from past season with Saint-14, though. You need to go to Master Rahool for that.
Super Mario Run Gets New Event In Celebration Of Upcoming Movie
Nintendo announced a new event for mobile game Super Mario Run in celebration of the upcoming film. That’s right; as part of the marketing for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nintendo will temporarily allow players to check out more of the mobile game’s levels for free.
Technically, Super Mario Run is a free-to-play mobile game, giving players access to the first few courses without spending any money. But it does lock most of the game behind a $10 paywall after the first several courses.
Each day during the event, one stage that normally couldn’t be played without purchasing the game will be unlocked for free. Plus, if you link your Nintendo Account, you can play an additional stage for free! These stages change daily. Let’s-a go! pic.twitter.com/dwNadyWUk5

But as part of the event, Super Mario Run gives players access to a stage that would normally cost money to play. This stage will be available for free for one day before becoming locked again, giving players temporary access. Nintendo also confirmed that linking a Nintendo Account to the game will unlock an additional stage.
