Actor Norman Reedus has reportedly confirmed that game director Hideo Kojima is working on a sequel to Death Stranding, according to a new interview with Leo Magazine. Speaking with the publication, Reedus said, “We just started the second one,” during a discussion about his work on the original title.

According to Bloomberg, a filing in Japan from the video game giant revealed that the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund has purchased a 5.01% stake in the company worth $2.98 billion USD, making the $500 billion USD fund Nintendo’s fifth-largest stakeholder.

Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia also acquired 5% stakes in both Japan’s CAPC...

The maps will all be expanded upon and connected together to create a much larger combat area players are now used to for Wa...

With the development of gaming platforms, virtual items have also become a popular method of monetization, but most games store data on private servers, giving gamers a reason to doubt their reliability and transferability. Developers can change the game policy at any time to maximize their profits. They are not obliged to consult users or take responsibility for the harm caused to the game ecosystem.

In a world where gamers spend a lot of time and money developing their characters and seeking out unique items, games that allow them to earn and influence the game’s development are very attractive. One of the most popular genres of games ...
