Yes! I was so stoked to see Capcom finally releasing English versions of The Great Ace Attorney games. The Ace Attorney series is one of my absolute favorites, and I know English-speaking fans have been desperate for a new entry to the series ever since we were left with Android and iOS releases of Dual Destinies and …
Developer Twisted II Studio has announced a publishing deal with Feardemic for its “new kind of” first-person psychological horror adventure, Dark Fracture. The deal will result in a simultaneous digital and physical release on the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch in late 2022.
Prior to the announcement, Twisted II Studio released a short demo of the game on Steam, where it was downloaded over 230,000 times and earned a “very positive” rating.
Dark Fracture is set in a gnarly “body farm” – a research facility dedicated to studying decomposed bodies. Players step into the shoes of a worker named Edward, a “lonely individual tormented by a tragic past,” who relies on his medicine to get him through the day. Little does Edward know that something sinister is brewing at his workplace.
Features include:
You can download the free demo on PC.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer took to Twitter to congratulate Sony for acquiring Returnal studio Housemarque, and told IGN that he thinks dismissing mergers and acquisitions is “short-sighted.”
Following Microsoft’s acquisition of ZeniMax Media, there was a lot of debate in the industry about the impact of acquisitions. Spencer said that he noticed some negative reactions to the move, and suggested that M&As are a healthy part of business.
Speaking to IGN, Spencer said:
I know sometimes I see dialogue out in the industry about, well, are acquisitions a good thing or a bad thing. One thing I’ll put out there is… starting a new studio — starting any small business, frankly, is a very risky proposition, starting a video game studio even more so. And if a team actually takes the risk of starting a new company, starting a new studio, building that over years, building value in that. To say they shouldn’t sell, I think, is just short-sighted.
Spencer went on to add that smaller studios often benefit from the financial security and resources offered by bigger companies, making acquisitions a valuable proposition for them.
It’s such a risk-filled journey for them to get to the point to create real value. I’m always going to congratulate when teams get to the point where they realize that value through acquisition or just massive independent success… many of those leaders will go off and start other things over time. It’s kind of the natural turnover that happens with entrepreneurs and startup businesses.
Sony has denied that it’s in an “arm’s race” when it comes to acquisitions, arguing that it’s very selective with its studios.
