Will Cyberpunk 2 be a PlayStation 7 recreation? Is Monster Hunter Wilds actually going to be playable on Swap 2 subsequent yr? And why is Logan Paul so good at making every part he talks about, together with Pokémon playing cards, sound so sleazy? It’s one other version of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku‘s day by day roundup of gaming information and tradition.
Ex-Sony Interactive Leisure chairman Shawn Layden is seemingly pitching a Mad Men-style show about recreation growth. It’ll in all probability by no means get made however I’d positively watch the hell out of that. Bobby Kotick might play Bobby Kotick, again. For now, Mythic Quest stays a pretty great parody of the online game trade.
Logan Paul sounds determined to promote his $5.3 million Pikachu
“Pokemon as an asset class has outperformed the stock market by upwards of 3,000 percent in the last 20 years.” That’s how the web content material hustler not too long ago puffed up the upcoming public sale for his PSA 10 Illustrator Pikachu card, which he claims is probably the most priceless Pokémon card on this planet, throughout a section on Fox Enterprise.
Previous to selling the upcoming public sale, Paul had been wearing the practically $6 million piece of paper round his neck throughout wrestling matches. If anybody can pop the insane bubble round Pokémon playing cards popping out of the covid-era lockdown, it’s the man who, simply a few years in the past, needed to refund fans for his failed NFT recreation.
May Monster Hunter Wilds be the following massive Swap 2 port we see in 2026?
Data mining of the recent Title 4 Update hints that growth may presently be underway on a Swap 2 model. Contemplating Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata are additionally coming to the brand new console, that’s not utterly sudden; Capcom has been supporting Swap 2 in a giant method, although Monster Hunter Wilds‘ performance struggles on PC and console don’t instill a ton of confidence about the way it may fare on the weaker platform.
It may not be the one massive new third-party port we see subsequent yr, both. Leaker NateTheHate reports {that a} rumored ongoing scarcity round Swap 2 dev kits has “largely been resolved.”
When will we see Cyberpunk 2?
Polish analytics agency Noble Securitie predicts it might arrive as early as 2030 with a funds of roughly $420 million. That appears to wildly overestimate the pace and effectivity of recent AAA growth. My very own guess is we don’t see it till 2032 and it prices over half a billion earlier than advertising.
Zack Snyder is a fan of the Kim Kardashian pores and skin in Fortnite
The Justice League director not too long ago wrote on Instagram, “Big thanks to @kimkardashian for carrying me to all those Royales on @fortnite over Christmas break.” The Kardashian beauty is reportedly the most well-liked pores and skin in all of season 7.
Entrance Missions 3: Remake is correct across the nook and has a free demo
The overhaul of the tactical mech RPG basic for PS1 arrives on January 30 and not too long ago obtained a free demo for followers to strive. Sadly, the Entrance Mission sequence remakes have been a number of the worst round, and I’m not holding my breath that Entrance Mission 3 will reverse the development. Early reports from the demo are that the sport nonetheless rocks but it surely feels prefer it was thrown collectively on a shoestring funds.
