NEWS ITEMSBlizzCon. Blizzard’s annual convention returned this year. Notable announcements include three upcoming WoW expansions (The War Within, Midnight, The Last Titan), a Diablo 4 expansion, Catch-up Packs in Hearthstone, and Warcraft Rumble.
Bungie. Bloomberg, GameInformer, and IGN report that the Destiny and Helo developer has laid off roughly 100 employees just 15 months after PlayStation’s acquisition. CEO Pete Parsons told staff that the layoffs were due to Destiny 2’s underperformance. Sales at Bungie are apparently 45% below projections.
Ghost. GameInformer reports that Greg Street (Ghostcrawler) and NetEase Games have announced a new studio, Fantastic Pixel Castle. This studio is developing a new AAA MMO codenamed Ghost with a founding team composed of talent from World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Guild Wars 2, Fortnite, Overwatch, and Valorant. The studio has committed to a fully remote strategy and collecting community feedback early and often. There is a livestream AMA set for 2PM ET on 11/8.
Invisible Sun. Polygon reports that Monte Cook’s Cypher-based TTRPG is being reprinted on BackerKit. The campaign is currently live and finishes on 11/17. The box set includes four hardcover books, 1000 cards with unique spells, items, and incantations, physical components, a GM notebook, two maps, and an art book.
Twitch. The Verge reports that Twitch is ending support for its Nintendo Switch app. The app will be removed from the eShop on 11/6, and those who have downloaded it will lose access on 1/31/24. Notably, the app does not allow you to view chat, subscribe to channels, or broadcast your own gameplay.
