Another week is in the books at Kotaku. Anime got more expensive, Ubisoft fired more people, and the bosses in charge of Build a Rocket Boy continued to be very weird. Blizzard revealed its ambitious plans to make Overwatch better than ever, including stripping the number 2 from it, and Nintendo tried to get people pumped for the Switch 2‘s next couple of months, but did a pretty poor job of it unless you’re a JRPG sicko (complimentary).
Sony announced another live-service game, Valve announced the Steam Machine is delayed, and Take-Two announced it’s already investing in summer marketing for Grand Theft Auto 6‘s fall release. Oh, and HBO’s making a Baldur’s Gate 3 TV show, but without any of the makers of Baldur’s Gate 3 involved. Sweet! Are you watching the Super Bowl this weekend? Football only exists for me when the Eagles are playing, so I’ll be playing the newly released Super Bomberman Collection with my kids instead. Stay safe out there folks. It’s getting weird.
