Arkane Studios Co-Founder Launches New Studio, WolfEye
Raphael Colantonio, the former President and Creative Director of Dishonored-creator Arkane Studios, has set up a new development company, WolfEye Studios. He has begun the venture along with fellow Arkane veteran Julien Roby, who was the company’s former Executive Producer.
At WolfEye Studios, Colantonio takes on the role of President and Creative Director, and Roby is the company’s CEO and Executive Producer. The developer already has a project in the works, which will be announced at The Game Awards this December. While WolfEye is keeping quiet about what that game is until the announcement, it has published a teaser picture which you can see below.
WolfEye Studios aims to “create games in which players live their own adventures in rich simulated worlds that respond to actions and decisions in ways that are unique to each playthrough” according to a press release from the company. That certainly sounds like a similar mantra to that of Arkane Studios, but it remains to be seen if the developer’s first game treads close to the Immersive Sim genre line.

How Much Did the Sonic Redesign Cost?
The studio behind the Sonic the Hedgehog movie reportedly paid less than $5 million to redesign the character.
Indiewire reports that the only visual effects in their final form were the shots in the infamous original trailer from April 30. So, when the decision to redesign Sonic was announced just three days after the trailer's debut, the VFX team still had a lot of work to do anyway.
Their source also says that the effects artists did not "suffer" with the new demands.

Why LittleBigPlanet Was the Best Game Pitch This Ex-Sony Exec Ever Saw

"There's a few stories to it," Harrison began, "First of all, that whole thing came about because a guy who worked for me, called Pete Hawley, spent a lot of time in a pub in Guildford with Alex
and Mark
from Lionhead and, persuading them over many pints of beer, over many, many months, about leaving and starting their own company

Don’t Fall Into This Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order Game-breaking Bug
EA is currently working on a fix for a game-breaking bug in Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order that forces players to restart the campaign, losing potentially hours of progression.
The bug can be found on Dathomir, one of the planets provided as a destination option when the game allows players to choose their own path for the first time. The area is limited for lower-powered players as it requires the use of Force abilities to properly navigate. However, a chasm that should require a double-jump to cross can be navigated across without the jump. The problem is, you can’t make the journey back without the skill.
Because of Jedi Fallen Order’s single-slot save mechanic that is tied to meditation points, it means any players who meditate while across the chasm are then stuck there for good, unable to progress due to a lack of correct force powers and unable to back-track because of the need to double-jump. The only solution is to start the game all over again.
Borderlands 3’s First DLC Campaign Announced, Release Date Revealed and New Trailer
Gearbox has revealed the first DLC campaign for Borderlands 3. The campaign add-on is called Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot, and the DLC is slated to be released on December 19.
Like it says in the name, Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot sees the Vault Hunters teaming up with Moxxi on a score. The mark? Handsome Jack’s ruined casino space station which still houses untold riches.
The DLC adds a new galaxy destination with unique casino zones that are as gaudy and opulent as Handsome Jack would have wanted. Moxxi has a crew of her own that players will be working with, and the campaign missions will focus on the ultimate, space casino heist. The DLC will be included in the season pass and deluxe edition.
