Let’s be honest, it’s a bit unusual to choose *The Age of Innocence* as a favorite Martin Scorsese film. But the person who does probably also loves *Silence*, ranks *Casino* above *Goodfellas* (and they’re right!), and considers the 1980s to be Scorsese’s strongest period. That’s the kind of fan we’re talking about!
It’s best not to rule anything out! We’re seeing more and more games being released on multiple platforms, as developers try to reach as many players as possible. So it’s natural to wonder if a game available on PC and Xbox will also come to PlayStation – though the Nintendo Switch operates in a slightly different market. This is definitely the case with Jump Space.
Stardew Valley’s creator, Barone, gave fans an update on X about the upcoming 1.7 patch. While he teased that more details are on the way, he also cautioned that the update will take some time to finish. He clarified that this update is different from the Switch 2 Edition, which is planned for release this fall and will feature mouse support and local co-op for up to four players.
Fans of the Red Rising saga have two new options coming soon! First, a prequel comic book series called Son of Ares will be released as a complete collection on September 30th. This 456-page book, available in paperback for $50 or hardcover for $60, can be preordered now. It’s one of two exciting new releases!
The first edition is currently selling for around $100 on Amazon from resellers, so this new reprint is likely to sell quickly. Hopefully, Paramount will also re-release the Avatar: The Last Airbender Steelbook Collection, as it’s become very expensive to buy.

As a Pokémon fan, I’m super excited to hear about this event celebrating 30 years of the franchise! Apparently, the Natural History Museum is a perfect fit – their director, Adam Farrar, told Eurogamer they’re both huge fans of nature and how it changes and diversifies. They’re hoping this collaboration will get people, like me, even more interested in real-world creatures, both Pokémon *and* the ones we share the planet with. It sounds awesome!
Nintendo of America is moving all of its customer service operations from the United States to South America, according to IGN. This means the contracts of around 200 workers – who currently handle tasks like customer support via phone, email, and chat, as well as financial and account management – will end in September. Many of these workers have been with Nintendo for a long time. One contractor stated that the U.S.-based team is being completely phased out, with very few remaining on-site.
The world of gaming is incredibly varied, with people enjoying all sorts of games on PCs, consoles, and mobile devices – we’re all part of a huge community! But it’s unusual for a game to be available on everything, especially for smaller, independent games. Bringing a game to multiple platforms takes both time and money. This often forces indie developers to make tough choices and focus on releasing their game on just one platform, usually PC, to start.
BlockBlasters, a free retro-style platform game from Genesis Interactive, initially seemed harmless when it launched on July 30th. However, security experts discovered it was secretly updated on August 30th to include software that could steal cryptocurrency.
