News Environment Fires in the Amazon forest may melt sea ice in Antarctica Soot traveling in atmospheric corridors could have darkened the sea ice, boosting its melting  Antarctica’s Weddell Sea (pictured) saw particularly large sea ice loss between 2018 and 2019 — loss that may be linked to increased soot in the atmosphere from fires in the Amazon. John Sonntag/NASA By Meghie Rodrigues 1 hour ago Soot from forest fires in the Amazon might play a role in the melting of faraway ice in Antarctica. For decades, scientists have known that black carbon from burning fossil fuels or forests accelerates ice melt in different parts of the world. According to remote sensing researcher Sudip Chakraborty, the slash-and-burn practices encouraged by Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro, who held office from 2019 to 2023, inspired his team to investigate whether black carbon from the Amazon affected ice melt in Antarctica.

News Saros Will Receive Extended Gameplay Reveal Later This Year Housemarque's rogue-lite shooter launches in 2026 for the PS5 and follows Arjun Devraj as he attempts to break the cycle on Carcosa. Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 18th, Apr. 2025 Among Sony’s first-party exclusives, Housemarque’s Saros is one of the more intriguing despite how far off its launch. The developer promised more details later this year, and thankfully, that’s not all, as an extended gameplay reveal is also on the cards. The set-up for the title will sound very familiar to Returnal fans. As Arjun Devraj (played by Rahul Kohli), you’re trapped in an endless cycle on Carcosa, looking for someone. Each death causes the world to change, but unlike Returnal, you can find resources that carry over and permanently upgrade your loadout. Arjun will thus become stronger and more capable of tackling Carcosa’s mysteries, including the strange multi-armed figure and the eclipse. Housemarque also promises an “evolving set” of weapons and suit upgrades, though we’ve yet to see much beyond the debut trailer. Saros launches in 2026 for the PS5, so stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime, check out our review for Returnal on PC.

Hollywood comms giant The Lippin Group and marketing firm Infinitize have partnered on a new PR and integrated marketing offering targeting clients with fandoms across genres including gaming, K-pop, anime, true crime, horror, animation, comics and graphic novels. Additionally, Infinitize has launched gaming division Vendetta, which is “built to champion indie rebels and fan-first studios.” Lippin and Infinitize will collaborate on creating custom campaigns targeting key fandoms for clients. Per the companies, offerings will range from integrated marketing (including social management, paid and performance marketing, interactive and transmedia experiences, lifecycle-email and SMS-marketing, influencer marketing) to strategic communications (creation of key positioning, writing press materials, pitching and media relations, content publicity, event promotion, thought leadership and networking). Related Stories Infinitize’s new gaming division Vendetta, which will be supported on the comms side by Lippin, is made up of staffers who have previously worked on campaigns with Devolver Digital, Good Shepherd, 3D Realms, and events including DreamHack, the gaming portion of SXSW, and Digital Entertainment World. Popular on Variety “At Infinitize, we specialize in transforming passion into power, and The Lippin Group shares our deep respect for fan-driven culture,” Infinitize CEO Jenny Zha said. “Their unparalleled legacy in media and entertainment publicity marries perfectly with our digital-first, fan-centric approach. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities for the kinds of stories, creators, and communities that deserve the spotlight. Gaming has always been the frontline of fandom—where communities fight for what they love and shape culture from the ground up—which is why we are launching Infinitize’s new gaming division, Vendetta, as we signal our commitment to continuing our growth in this exciting area.” Lippin Group managing director Kevin Broderick added: “Understanding how to activate fandom is essential to audience development and working with the team at Infinitize has proven to us how much a coordinated campaign with our combined capabilities can deliver on campaigns. From K-pop and podcasts, to graphic novels and anime we have grown an understanding of fandom that has been fruitful and look forward to formally tapping into this partnership to provide value to companies wherever they are trying to grow.”

Maxime Member Oct 27, 2017 3,523 DON'T NOD published their FY2024 today. If you've been following the studio, you know shit is fucked. The tl;dr: DON'TNOD said: Operating revenues and operating EBITDA impacted by the commercial underperformance of 2023 and 2024 game releases in an extremely competitive and concentrated market Results significantly impacted by non-cash accounting adjustment of portfolio value Robust consolidated cash position of €32.9 million Execution of strategy, with a refocus on three production lines to adapt to new market conditions Click to expand... Click to shrink... Oskar Guilbert said: Our 2024 results reflect performances that fell short of our expectations for recent productions, despite a very positive critical reception. They also include a non-cash accounting adjustment to the value of our portfolio. As part of our transformation and refocusing efforts, we also had to implement a structural cost-saving plan aimed at focusing our efforts on three production lines. This approach is in line with our commitment to secure the Group's resources and strengthen its ability to operate in an increasingly competitive and selective environment. We are actively pursuing our efforts to secure funding for our upcoming productions while also exploring opportunities related to high-profile licenses owned by major entertainment industry players. We remain firmly focused on the future and fully committed to executing our strategy to strengthen our competitiveness, improve our profitability and create sustainable value for all our stakeholders.

The game has a Metacritic score of 80 and a Steam user score of 92%, further confirming DON'T NOD's expertise in the Narrative Adventure genre.

I was expecting a Vampyr 2 given they they still talk about it as a strong back catalog title: DON'T NOD said: A 14% increase in sales to €3.2 million, mainly driven by the back catalog (Vampyr and the Life is Strange license) and the contribution of Jusant (released at the end of October 2023) and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (released mid-February 2024); Click to expand...

I was also thinking it could be really interesting to see different stories about Banishers across history, like this one is in the colonial era but a sequel could be set in the 1800s or the early 1900s - how would their roles change?

Would they use the same tools or be forced to adapt?  shinobi602 Verified Oct 24, 2017 11,041 Glad to hear it's at least in line with projections and not something crazy that they expected. I'm looking forward to playing it soon, just have to wrap up AC Shadows.   PucePikmin Member Apr 26, 2018 5,212 Hopefully the can right the ship. In retrospect, they probably should have tried to buy the Life is Strange IP from Square Enix, or failing that, created a very obvious "successor" brand, and focused in on that, rather than spinning off with a half-dozen different one-off narrative series, and then trying to get back into the action-adventure space once narrative adventures had become their trademark.   penny toast Member Feb 20, 2024 939 glad they could forecast accurately for bloom & rage, but yeah to echo: that tells me nothing i can certainly [omissive implicature] guess; if forecasts were big big exciting then report would reflect excitement Tape 1 peaked at 3.0k steam ccu, will be curious to see where Tape 2 lands (since plenty could be holding off for full experience) Koira—also mentioned in the report, under the section titled Continuation of the transformation strategy —peaked at just 46 ccu, 91 reviews. can't imagine that's worth it in any capacity as a publisher but like i'm always going to root for a studio that releases a game like French Maritime Term just tricky to not feel dreadsense  9-Volt Member Oct 27, 2017 13,728 DON'T NOD x Famicom Detective Club DON'T NOD x Hotel Dusk Aw yeah. Please knock Nintendo's doors, DON'T NOD!

They obviously don't have any interest in doing any kind of direct sequels like Deck Nine has, so what real point would there be in a new Life is Strange by them beyond using the name and maybe having some random cameo?

The failure of Banishers still stings. Its character writing and dialogue are in the 99th percentile of all video games. Both are phenomenal. Going to go down as a historically underrated game.  Grakchawwaa Member Mar 10, 2022 621 I really liked tape 1 of Bloom and Rage. Characters have that special kind of 90s teenage angst cringe that you can't find anywhere else. The camera was a fun addition as cozy collection content.

However, the report's most troubling info is this: The Group accordingly posted a consolidated net loss of €64.3 million in 2024 compared to a loss of €14.8 million the previous year, including more than €50.0 million in non-cash charges.

Click to expand... Click to shrink... A daredevil dontnod game would be great
