8- Eurogamer: Fortnite’s fun is buried under five years of gaming’s clutter (Eurogamer Chris Tapsell)
Remember when zombies were cool? I think to myself, mashing the right trigger to slap down a few more with the big pointy stick I crafted earlier. That’s about the time this game was announced.
After more than five and a half years, Fortnite is back. Again. This time, after the first re-reveal in 2014 , and a missed 2015 open beta, it seems to be the real deal: it’ll be free to play, but you can pay anything between £35 and £125 for a variety of Early Access bundles through the Epic launcher (it’s not on Steam); it’s coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One now too, alongside PC and Mac; early access starts on July 25th, and it’s releasing, properly, at some point early-ish in 2018, about six or seven years after the first announcement.

22- From Persona 5 to Project Re Fantasy: how Atlus is preparing for its next big RPG (Source: IGN Andrew Goldfarb)
Katsura Hashino is in a period of transition. After over a decade with the Persona series as director of Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5 (plus a break in 2011 to direct the marvelous Catherine), Hashino announced late last year that he’s joined a newly-established internal studio within Atlus called Studio Zero.
Hashino has moved on from Persona, handing off development of the series to successors within Atlus. Instead, he’ll direct Studio Zero’s first project, a new fantasy RPG codenamed Project Re Fantasy with a team of Persona veterans including his longtime collaborators, artist Shigenori Soejima and composer Shoji Meguro.
Studio Zero marks a fresh start for Hashino and for Atlus, with the studio’s official site making its mission statement clear: “This is not Persona. This is not Megami Tensei. This is the beginning of a new story.”
