Rebellion, the studio behind the Sniper Elite series, have announced they have started development on Evil Genius 2. Development only began in spring, so it’s unlikely we’ll get to see our first look at Rebellion’s sequel anytime soon, but the studio did announce that Evil Genius 2 is being developed with their in-house Asura engine, and will be the first RTS game to be built with it.
Rebellion originally planned to run a crowd-funding campaign for a sequel several years ago after acquiring the rights to the franchise, but with the studio busy with becoming its own publisher at the time, and putting resources into in-house projects such as Zombie Army Trilogy and Battlezone for PSVR, the plans were shelved. Did you play the original Evil Genius? Are you looking forward to the sequel? Let us know below. The lauded action game developer tweeted an image which suggests that the original Bayonetta and its sequel could be coming to Nintendo's new console.
Bayonetta 2 was part-funded by Nintendo and is currently exclusive to the Wii U, so a Switch version wouldn’t be out of the question, especially considering the fact we’re already seeing Wii U exclusives make the transition.
Would you like to see Bayonetta 1 & 2 release on the Nintendo Switch? Let us know in the comments below or over in the forums. Bethesda and ZeniMax Online are giving Elder Scrolls Online players the chance to try out the game’s paid subscription service, ESO Plus, which usually costs $14.99/month (or regional equivalent) for free this week thanks to a special bonus event. Trial users will also receive other ESO Plus perks, such as:
It’s worth noting that those taking advantage of the free trial won’t receive the 1,500 Crowns that are given out to paying subscribers every month for use in the in-game store. The free ESO Plus trial runs from 5 – 10 July, and can be accessed by simply logging into the game and heading to the ‘Featured’ category in the Crown Store. Lastly, Bethesda and ZeniMax also announced that current ESO Plus subscribers will be receiving some extra bonus content during the event in the form of free Dwarven Crown Crates, which contain “mounts, pets, costumes, consumables, and other in-game items”. By logging in everyday, ESO Plus subscribers can earn up to five of the new Dwarven Crown Crates per day, with any crates earned delivered to player’s accounts on 17 July. Will you be giving ESO Plus a try later this week? Let us know below. A beta for Bungie's Destiny 2 will launch in a couple of weeks, and those who pre-order on PlayStation 4 will get the most time out of it. Destiny 2 is available to pre-order now (you can nab some extras with the 2 special editions) and is due to release 6 September on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Have you pre-ordered? Waiting to try the beta first? Let us know your plans in the comments below or over in the forums. ENDED: iO giveaway3/7/2017
