Thursday Morning, and man does it feel like a Monday. Gross. Here’s the news.
- Agony for PC can be Uncensored
- New Pokemon Generation in Official Magazine
- Yooka-Laylee Devs’ New Project
True Agony
You may not have heard about Agony. It’s a hellish horror game coming to consoles and PC. Originally the game was to launch on March 30, but it was delayed after the developers had a hard time coming to an agreement on the age rating. In its original state, it would be rated Adult Only, which isn’t allowed on consoles. The devs didn’t want to, but they removed certain content to get the game down to a Mature rating. But to keep to their original vision, they’re going to offer a downloadable patch for PC versions of the game that restores it to its uncensored glory. They are also offering their Kickstarter backers the chance to switch their game of choice to the PC version for this reason. It looks horrifying, I might get it to review.
New Pokemon Gen, Maybe
Twitter user raqueruu noticed that the Spanish Nintendo Magazine talks about the upcoming Pokemon game for Nintendo Switch. The snippet claims that it will be the eighth generation Pokemon, and will be released in 2018. This would be a new land, new Pokemon, the whole shebang. Now be careful, the Spanish version of the magazine has been wrong about the franchise in the past, so this might also be false. Make what you will of this.
Playtonic Isn’t Done
Yooka-Laylee was the highly-anticipated spiritual successor to the Banjo Kazooie series. Unfortunately, it wasn’t met with the same level of success. It received a “Fair” score of 72/100 on OpenCritic. The developers have spoken up after the first birthday of the game, saying that they’re working on more content for Yooka-Laylee, as well as “other stuff.” Perhaps this means a new game? Time will tell.
Thanks for reading everyone! I’m also excited to announce the launch of my new podcast, The Cozy Co-op. It’s a show where a games journalist (me) join a creative writer to talk about video games. We already have five episodes available, and more information can be found on its official webpage. Tune in tomorrow for more video game news. Otherwise, have a great day!
