Stanley's Fables: Ultimate Deluxe Edition was first announced in 2018, and in 2020 it was unsurprisingly postponed, and in 2021 it was announced that it was postponed again. This makes many players think that this whole thing is not some kind of big farce, maybe Super Deluxe Edition does not exist and will never come.
Just as players are excited about it, the developer finally announced that Stanley's Fable: Ultimate Deluxe Edition is set for April 27, and 4/27 happens to be Stanley's employee code name. Crows Crows said: "Stanley's Fables: Ultimate Deluxe Edition will expand the original game world with new content, new options and new secrets. You'll play Stanley, but you're not exactly. ”
Unconsciously, "Stanley's Fable" has been online for almost a decade. This first-person adventure game tells the ironic and thought-provoking story of a conscientious employee who chooses to explore the meaning and free will of a video game after hearing instructions from a voiceover. The editor of foreign media PCGAMER once commented: "Stanley's Fable shows us how to make a story about the game's story, it seems careless but surprising, and the whole game maintains a hilarious atmosphere. ”
Recently, the well-known uncle party Tom Henderson broke the news that NetEase will acquire all the shares of Quantic Dream Studio this summer, which has developed well-known works such as "Detroit: Becoming Human", "Rainstorm", "Extraordinary Twins" and so on.
Since the release of Detroit: The Man who changed in 2018, Quantic Dream Studios' agreement with Sony to develop three games has reportedly expired, and they have been looking for potential buyers ever since. Henderson said it's unclear whether Quantic Dream Studios' deal with NetEase has been fully finalized, but the plans for both sides appear to be to officially announce a full-fledged acquisition this summer.
Over the past few years, Quantic Dream Studios has been at the center of much controversy. Multiple reports have uncovered the company's workplace culture problems, including workplace sexual harassment, racism, sexism, and serious overtime. It is reported that the above disputes and subsequent lawsuits and lawsuits have brought major problems to the operation, recruitment, and realization of Quantic Dream Studio. The studio is currently working on Star Wars: Eclipse, but has not yet announced the project schedule and specific release date.
Tom Henderson said that Quantic Dream Studio chose to work with NetEase because it can provide the resources and environment for the stable development of Star Wars: Eclipse. If the deal is completed, the previous negative workplace culture will be alleviated, developers can focus more on making games, and NetEase will provide sufficient funds to ensure that the game development goes smoothly. Previously, in January 2019, NetEase announced the acquisition of a minority stake in Quantic Dream Studio. Henderson believes that after the completion of this acquisition, the partnership between the two companies will change, and NetEase will fully control the right to speak.
In addition to Quantic Dream Studio, NetEase has recently taken other initiatives to expand its internal development capabilities. Last year, NetEase acquired Grasshopper Manufacture, the developer of No More Heroes, and also set up a new studio led by Minoru Nagoku, the founder of the "Like Dragon" series, hoping that they would bring more excellent works.
As part of the 1.30 update, the Castlevania game Akatsuki: Ritual of the Night, created by Takashi Igarashi himself, will launch a free DLC in conjunction with Ubisoft's Children of Light, and Aurora in Children of Light will be added as a new playable character.
Patrick Plourde, the game director of Children of Light, said on social media last year that Aurora's next great adventure with Shimmer is under review. Previously, many players thought that this meant that the sequel to "Children of Light" had been nailed down, but at present it seems that everyone guessed wrong.
According to the official trailer, Aurora in Red Trace: Ritual of the Night plays a similar game to the original game, and she will continue to wield the Sword of Matidis and can transform items from chests. You can also continue to use lighting skills to slow down enemies or heal themselves. After collecting fragments from enemies, you can increase your skill level. Defeating the boss unlocks additional skills, including increased mobility to make it easier for players to travel to other areas.
The free update of "Red Traces: Ritual of the Night" 1.30 will be officially launched at 0:00 Beijing time on April 1, pushing PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms, and the NS platform update will be launched at the end of April. After updating the game to the latest version, players can simply create a new save and select Aurora to experience the linked content.
In the latest show of the Xbox Era Podcast, Shpeshal Nick mentioned that Ubisoft is developing a new first-person shooter 3A game. Asked if the IP was in the Tom Clancy series, Nick said he wasn't sure. Nick noted that the first-person shooter was still in the early stages of development and speculated: "They just said that the shooter would be made by the team involved in the development of Ghost Recon: Wilderness, and I think it's 80% Ubisoft Paris." ”
While industry insiders don't reveal much useful information, it's safe to say that Ubisoft Paris is making a comeback. At the same time, foreign media exputer also found in December 2021 that Ubisoft Paris's team in charge of mobile terminals is developing a shooting mobile game that has not yet been announced, and it has also been revealed that the new "Tom Clancy" universe works are about to be announced, and perhaps these projects may be related in some form.
