Mutant Year Zero devs’ new strategy game Miasma Chronicles arrives in May
The studio behind Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden – The Bearded Ladies – have announced a release date for their next game: May 23rd. Miasma Chronicles is another post-apocalyptic tactical RPG, but this time it replaces the anthropomorphic pigs with a friendly robot – who the trailer refers to as your big brother, I should add. Spiritually rather than biologically, of course. If you’re not sold yet, Miasma Chronicles will be showing up to tomorrow’s Future Games Show.
Mutant Year Zero Developer’s Miasma Chronicles Is Out This May
Mutant Year Zero developer The Bearded Ladies’ new game, Miasma Chronicles, will be released on May 23, 2023. Like Mutant Year Zero, Miasma Chronicles is a tactical RPG with turn-based strategy. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Miasma Chronicles is set in an post-apocalyptic America where a mysterious force called Miasma has wrought despair and damage. Players follow the journey of two brothers as they start in a mining town and travel to find “answers which may change the course of human history forever,” according to the game’s Steam page description.
From Miasma Chronicles’ pre-release alpha gameplay released in Feburary, players can choose between a light tactical–described as a more predictable combat experience–and full tactical, a more chaotic and unpredictable mode. The game opens with protagonist Elvis, accompanied by his robot brother Diggs, trying to break through a Miasma wall with his gloves. He fails, and the gloves break.
Microsoft Says It Makes “Zero Business Sense” To Make Call Of Duty Exclusive
Microsoft has disputed the U.K. Competition and Market Authority’s (CMA) concerns about the computing giant’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. According to a YouGov survey, commissioned by Microsoft, 3% of PlayStation owners would migrate to Xbox if Microsoft made Call of Duty exclusive. Microsoft claims that this is insufficient incentive to remove the massive franchise from PlayStation consoles.
Microsoft disclosed the results of the January survey to Axios. Last December, the CMA commissioned its own survey, which found that 15% of active Call of Duty players, meaning people who played at least 10 hours or spent $100 on the franchise, would switch to Xbox. The CMA’s figure for all PlayStation owners who would switch has not been disclosed, though the CMA has publicly cited the statistic as proof that PlayStation would lose customers. The CMA has further used the survey as evidence that Microsoft would be incentivized to take Call of Duty off of PlayStation.
Rima Alaily, the corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Competition Law Group, told Axios that, “As we have said all along: it makes zero business sense to take Call of Duty off of PlayStation.” Alaily clarified that the amount of people who would switch to Xbox is “too small to hurt Sony’s ability to compete and too small to make a withholding strategy profitable for Xbox.”
