Wildly immoral tinseltown builder Hollywood Animal hits early access in January 2025

by


I missed my chance to write about Hollywood Animal when a certain Nic Reuben swooped in like a rival showbiz talent scout and pinched the summer Steam Fest demo from right under my nose, capitalising on the fact that I was stranded in an airport at the time.

Anyway, it’s finally my chance for a bite at the apple, for developers Weappy Wholesome have just given their slice of throwback La La Land an early access release date: January 16th 2025.

As shown in this message, this includes a Zendesk token with permissions to access over 800,000 support … Read more

Subnautica 2 early access should last “2 to 3 years” – it’ll launch with “several biomes” and “some narrative”

by


Below the thunders of the upper deep, far, far beneath in the abysmal sea, its ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep Subnautica 2 sleepeth – but not for too much longer, as Unknown Worlds’ open world survival game is due to surface in early access form next year. In the wake of last night’s trailer, store pages have gone live on Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox, shedding a bit more light upon the aquatic monster’s nature and in particular, how it will evolve before the 1.0 release.
