Ex-Humble Games staff made redundant in July have formed a fresh indie publisher, Good Games Group.

The company, lead by former Humble Games bosses Alan Patmore and Mark Nash, will now work with some of the development teams that its staff previously collaborated with back at Humble.

Intriguingly, this means also working with Humble Games owner Ziff Davis once again – just months after its layoffs left the entire Humble Games team out of work. (Ziff Davis is also the parent company of IGN Entertainment, which owns this website.)

Back in July, Humble Games staff reported that Ziff Davis had made all 36 team members redundant. At the time, the plan was reportedly for any remaining publishing projects to be finished by an outside consultancy firm, The Powell …

David Hayter, the gravelly voice of Metal Gear protagonist Solid Snake, has fans pondering an apparent return to the role after posting an enigmatic new tweet.

Hayter was famously ousted from the role in 2013, after Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima – always one to be swayed by a celebrity – controversially decided to replace him with Sutherland for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.

Hi-Rez Studios, the developer behind Smite 2 and Paladins, has announced it’s laying off an undisclosed number of employees in order to “ensure [the company’s] long-term success”.

Hi-Rez CEO Stewart Chisam announced the job cuts in a lengthy statement shared on social media, saying the layoffs – instigated as part of an “internal reorganisation and reprioritisation” – will “disproportionately impact those in marketing and publishing roles”.

Chisam went on to acknowledge the “real human impact” of the layoffs, adding, “Each impacted individual is a …

Nintendo has provided fresh details on why Zelda was chosen as the protagonist for the series’ latest game, Echoes of Wisdom.
In the latest Ask The Developer blog, series producer Eiji Aonuma discussed the game’s development with Nintendo director Tomomi Sano (the first female director of a Zelda game) and Grezzo director Satoshi Terada.
Initially, Link was to be the protagonist in Echoes of Wisdom, Aonuma explained, but the developers realised that if he still had a sword and shield there would be no reason to use the copy and paste gameplay of the echoes, the game’s new concept.
