Netherealm Studios' Ed Boob has been teasing about a possible new announcement coming on June 2nd.
UK indie outfit Roll7 is reportedly facing closure, along with Bethesda’s Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin – but if making award-running, profitable games doesn’t guarantee safety, what will?
Idk. Great games have still been releasing. Mcsft is still no different than after the 360 era. PS, you just have to wait many years for. Nintendo is readying next gen and will definitely have many games. 3rd party and indies have been the highlight so far this year.
Yeah but the games coming out have been in development for many years so they're not affected by this issue.
This is more about the future.
I would say that indies will continue to put out interesting games at least. They need to avoid buyouts though or they're in danger of ending up like Roll7.
Part of the issue is that CEOs created projections based on the Covid years. Now that the line/Growth™ isn't going up, they're overcorrecting for stakeholders despite good profits. There's a certain mindlessness to it.
Hopefully with inflation down and more realistic projections, things will level out.

"A Dance of Masks" will take players back to where it all began in a final love letter to the Knight Commander and their loyal companions. Get ready for one last ride when A Dance of Masks releases for PC and consoles on June 13, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and Bandung-based (Indonesia) indie games developer Agate, are today very glad and excited to announce that their anime-styled romance-fantasy VN "Celestia: Chain of Fate", is soon coming to PC (via Steam) and the Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Eshop)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
