Just Announced: Police Simulator: Patrol Officers

News just in! There's just been an announcement about Police Simulator: Patrol Officers. This is a new game incoming from Munich based developers Aesir Interactive (Restless Echo, Windstorm The Game) and sim specialist publishers astragon Entertainment (Bus Simulator, Firefighter Simulator: The Squad). Via a press release, astragon sent out news that Police Simulator: Patrol Officers is set to come to Steam Early Access during Spring 2021. It is built on the Unreal 4 engine, so has the potential to look stunning. In the provided screenshots it certainly looks like it's off to a good start, as in the below image. I do like the sound of the following for Police Simulator: "You can take up your badge as a male or female US police officer and go on patrol in the streets of a fictitiou...

EA To Buy Mobile Game Studio Glu Games

EA is back in the picture at the moment. There has been an announcement of them purchasing mobile game developer, Glu Games, for $2.1 Billion. Who are Glu Games? WWE Universe and Disney Sorcerers Arena are just a couple of games they've developed. In addition to previous mobile studio purchases, could this mean EA is looking to push even further into mobile gaming? Or do you think they're just looking to buy the competition? Let me know in the comments. But this is fantastic news for Glu Games shareholders also as it sounds like the stocks are going up in price. Does that mean they're quids (or dollars?) in? REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), a global leader in interactive entertainment, and GluMobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), a leading global ...

Fall Guys X Fortnite Incoming Content!

In the latest Fall Guys update, there is a line of data that could mean we may see some Fortnite content come to Fall Guys real soon. There are some fantastic cross overs already in Fall Guys, one of my favourites being the Bulletkin from Enter the Gungeon, as below. As you can see below, Max @ Fortnite Leaks reveals in a Tweet the latest strings of code in the game's content. FNLeaksAndInfo is pretty popular on Twitter and has been very reliable with content leaks. I would say this seems a bit odd as both are "battle royale" games and in theory, they're competing against each other. I guess that one is kind of like a gameshow whilst the other involves me building a small building whilst others build mansions. Fortnite X Fall Guys will be coming in the future! Some new str...

I'm very excited about this news, could we be seeing more of the "one-winged angel" sooner than we think? I do hope they perform that song at the concert.
