Moving Out Makes the Hassle of Moving Chaotic, Couch-Coop Fun
I hate moving… with a passion. Sure, it’s necessary to take that next step, but no matter how much you prepare and plan, moving just always, always, sucks. Fortunately, SMG Studio’s new action-puzzle game Moving Out removes all the worst elements of the process, putting you in control of a cartoonish cast of characters whose job it is to get the items into the truck. By any means necessary.
Where Moving Out really hits home is in that same arcade-y, pick-up-and-play feel akin to something like Overcooked. Which is fitting since SMG just announced its partnership with Team17, the publisher behind the Overcooked series. The premise is simple, each level – a suburban home, a two-story office building, a chicken-swarmed farmhouse, etc – has a set number of key items that you’ve got to load into a truck. The goal is to do it as fast as possible, alone or with up to four friends. Sometimes that means jamming a queen bed through a bedroom doorway, hucking a box full of belongings across the front lawn, or grabbing a pig by its back-bacon and awkwardly wattling it toward the truck.
Blizzard To ‘Substantially’ Increase WoW Classic Server Capacity
Blizzard has announced that it's "substantially increasing" its server capacity after huge queues of players began forming to play World of Warcraft Classic.
Since launch earlier this week, images started appearing online of players forming actual in-game lines waiting patiently to complete quests. Outside the game, other queues formed as saturated medium-sized realms couldn't let in any more players.
To combat this, Blizzard plans to increase realm capacity. Posting to the official WoW Classic forum, Blizzard said "with hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have queues at all.”

Yakuza 7 Announced With Some Major Series Changes
Sega has officially unveiled the next chapter in the Yakuza series, which takes combat in a different direction to its predecessors.
Its full Japanese title is Ryu ga Gotoku 7, which roughly translates to Yakuza 7: Whereabouts of Light and Darkness - though its name in the West will likely be slightly different. Yakuza 7 is headlined by an all-new main character, Ichiban Kasuga, but the biggest shake up is its approach to how fighting plays out. The brawling action of past games is being swapped out for turn-based combat.
Gematsu has translated the Japanese press release which describes how the game uses a ""live command RPG battle" system that combines the series’ signature action with an RPG-style command system. It has evolved into a system in which anyone can easily enjoy exhilarating battles. In this completely new battle system, Ichiban Kasuga and his party will fight by selecting techniques with various effects such as attack, recovery, support, and more."
Man of Medan Sequel, Little Hope, Teased For 2020
The next game in The Dark Pictures Anthology and sequel to Man of Medan has been announced. Revealed in a teaser trailer after the Man of Medan credits, the next game is called Little Hope and will be released in 2020.
The trailer features Bandersnatch and Midsommar’s Will Poulter as Andrew, and appears to be set in a creepy town called Little Hope. A young girl with a creepy doll can be seen dancing around a fire, and Andrew’s friend Angela is shown to be in trouble. Beyond that, the trailer offers very little indication as to what Little Hope’s story is.
As an anthology series, The Dark Pictures presents each game as a standalone experience, rather than as a ‘sequel’ to the games before it. As far as we know there is no connection between Man of Medan and Little Hope in narrative or characters, but we wouldn’t be surprised if there are hints or Easter eggs littered around the games.
New Resident Evil Project Teased by Capcom for Tokyo Game Show
Capcom is teasing a new Resident Evil project, which it will reveal at Tokyo Game Show this September.
The tease comes in the form of a website titled Project Resistance. The R and E in the title are shown in red among other white letters, making it fairly clear that the game is a Resident Evil title.
The website explains that the teaser trailer for the new project will be shown on September 9 at 3:00PM UTC (8am PT, 4pm UK, 1am AEST), and suggests people stay tuned for future updates.
Project Resistance will then be shown at Capcom’s booth at Tokyo Games Show, in which gameplay is promised. The game will be on stage on September 12, 13, 14, and 15.
Astral Chain Might Be the Best-Looking Game on Switch
I'm increasingly convinced that Astral Chain is the most beautiful game on Switch. Breath of the Wild is a beautiful pastel-pastoral, Super Mario Odyssey still has that sheer cartoon charm, and the likes of Thumper and Ape Out drip with expressive style. But only PlatinumGames' latest has caused me to run out of room on my SD card through sheer weight of screenshots.
Its cyberpunk island-city setting, The Ark, is a blanketing haze of neon, either buzzing down from buildings, or reflected back up at you from rainfall-slick streets. Its characters feel like they’ve sprung into 3D from an anime, a grab-bag of pink hair, eyepatches and over-the-top animations. Even its frenetic, two-tone combat is an exercise in visual flair, the titular chain whipping across the battlefield, as both player and Legion (your semi-AI controlled living weapon) dance their way through combat.
Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Explains Why There’s No Character Gender Option Anymore
CD Projekt Red is doing away with traditional character gender options in Cyberpunk 2077 to keep with the cyberpunk ethos of the genre. The developers confirmed the latest development in a new interview.
Metro caught up with CD Projekt Red senior concept artist Marthe Jonkers to talk more about the world building in Cyberpunk 2077, and how that manifests in the gameplay. Specifically, Metro asked about gender in Cyberpunk 2077, an area that CD Projekt Red received criticism for in the past.
Jonkers said the developers are working to make Cyberpunk 2077 “really inclusive.” This resulted in gameplay design choices like an expanded character customization menu.
Meet Every Character and Cast Member in Netflix’s Dark Crystal Prequel
Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance arguably has one of the most impressive voice casts ever assembled, including genre mainstays like Sigourney Weaver, Mark Hamill, and Simon Pegg; Game of Thrones alums Nathalie Emmanuel, Lena Headey, and Natalie Dormer; and Harry Potter stars like Jason Isaacs and Helena Bonham Carter.
The show is already drawing comparisons to Game of Thrones for its sprawling ensemble cast of warring clans, anchored by Emmanuel's Deet, Taron Egerton's Rian, and Anya Taylor-Joy's Brea, and you'd be forgiven for being unable to tell which Skesis is which in the first episode, which throws you right into the middle of a tumultuous political power struggle taking place in the world of Thra.

With the release of a new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, one question is on every Star Wars fan's mind right now: What exactly is the deal with that final shot of Rey?
