Wednesday Gaming – Warner Bros., MultiVersus, Steam Update and MORE!
Catch up on the latest news, rumours and announcements from the world of video games, tech and entertainment:
– Warner Bros. are leaning towards focusing on developing mobile, free-to-play and live service games in the future due to the “volatile” nature of releasing AAA console games, specifically following the disappointing sales of their February title, “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League”.
– According to Warner Bros Discovery executive JB Perrette, Warner hopes to develop such games for four of their core franchises: DC, “Harry Potter”, “Game of Thrones” and “Mortal Kombat”.
– In other Warner-related news, crossover fighting game “MultiVersus” may be gearing up for an actual release after the beta version was shut down in July 2023. Rumours of the game getting a release date come after the official Twitter/X account (which was largely inactive) tweeted out this message on Tuesday, 5 March: “*taps mic* testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.”
– According to reports, developer Respawn is working on a spin-off game that is set in the “Titanfall” universe, meaning that it is NOT a sequel to “Titanfall 2”.
– Thanks to a new update, Steam users can now mark their games and apps as private. This will prevent other users from viewing the ownership of selected titles, as well as the in-game status and recent activity. Users can also now access their store cart across all devices and gift multiple users at once.
