A new week! I’m on vacation! I slept in today! It’s great! Here is the weekend’s news.
- GameStop CEO Suddenly Resigns
- SuperHot is Coming to Japan
- Bethesda Announces Rage 2
GameStopped
After only three months in office, Michael K. Mauler, the CEO of the popular video game retailer, has resigned. GameStop announced the resignation online which is for personal reasons, effective immediately. Executive chairman Daniel A. DeMatteo has stepped in as placeholder CEO until a new one can be established. What’s that mean for us? I don’t know.
SuperHot JP
A new spin-off of the critically acclaimed shooter is getting a fresh coat of Eastern paint. Japanese studio Gametomo has been given the rights to develop a standalone SuperHot game, centered around Japanese art and style. It comes with a number of new levels, ranging from bathhouses to temples. It also comes with a few new weapons. No word on a release date or price, but it’s currently planned for PC and PS4. More details can be found on the official website.
Rage 2
Bethesda released a reveal trailer for Rage 2, which would be surprising if it wasn’t for all the teasing they’ve done this last week. So far the video simply shows mad-max style people doing mad max style stuff, with a splash of neon colors scattered throughtout. It also states a gameplay video will release tomorrow. The first Rage was a decent game with a rather disappointing ending, so it’ll be interesting to see if they can recover from this. No word on if id Software is developing this one, either. Time will tell.
That’s all for today! Expected mid-day news posts, since I’ll be sleeping in this week. Check back in tomorrow for more news, such as that gameplay trailer. Otherwise, have a great day!
