📰 In The News
1. Metroid Dread & new Switch model
Both Metroid Dread and the upcoming OLED Switch model are going to be releasing on October 8th, and some outlets have gotten their hands on them.
Polygon covered both in the same article, complimenting the entire experience
Kotaku talked about the first hour of Metroid in pretty good detail
Here’s a full video breakdown of the OLED model and comparison with the original
2. Resident Evil 4 VR info
It has been announced that the upcoming Resident Evil 4 VR is going to be releasing on October 21. Just in time for Halloween!
IGN has a preview if you’re interested, and here’s the gameplay trailer.
3. Naughty Dog update
Naughty Dog wrote a quick update on their blog yesterday, in order to celebrate “The Last of Us Day.”
They didn’t share much, besides saying that they’re currently working on the multiplayer for TLOU Part II. That’s about it, sadly.
4. Netflix game Kate
I missed this story, but it turns out that one of Netflix’s first games is going to be coming out, and it’s a movie tie-in called Kate: Collateral Damage. It appears to be a roguelike shoot ‘em up, which means they’re taking a deep dive into the gaming industry (nobody would blame them for sticking to mobile or interactive things like Bandersnatch). It releases October 22.
