Xbox platform spokesman and terrific photo-bomber (true story!) Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb announced that FPS Boost had been extended to a number of other games, which includes Hollow Knight, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Far Cry 5, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

It’s about time someone at EA said, “Hey, what if we actually just give people what they wanted instead of pointless multiplayer?”. A refreshing take indeed.

It may have taken EA years to see the writing on the wall, but it’s official: Anthem is dead.

I wanted to name the episode something else but Darryn was so insistent when his idea was shot down and I just hate to disappoint the guy!

Because you needed a wrap up of last week’s events and it’s always just important to check that Darryn hasn’t been thrown into a jail cell yet.

EA executives will gather to see how the game is currently shaping up and decide if it’s worth throwing more resources at it or if it’s time to finally pull the plug on Anthem.

In a blog post announcing his latest departure, now former Bioware studio general manager and Mass Effect series architect Casey Hudson wrote about how the time was right to hand the reigns over to a younger generation of developers.

Anthem’s not dead yet! Easily the biggest flop in Bioware’s long history, the massively-hyped Anthem was all style and no real substance when it launched back in February 2019. Since then, it has been bled dry of players, gone back to the drawing board, and has had a small team of dedicated developers assigned to it while Bioware’s top brass forgot to look up the definition of sunk-cost fallacy.
