Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 7 new characters

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is going to have quite the roster when it launches in December, including every character to ever appear in the series along with brand new ones. While Nintendo has been revealing new characters up to the game’s launch, a new leaked marketing material image shows 7 more characters that haven’t been revealed.

The leaked marketing material features an image showcasing the game’s entire roster, though the 7 new characters are sprinkled throughout. They have since been identified as Banjo-Kazooie, Shadow the Hedgehog, Isaac, Ken Masters, Mach Rider, Geno and the Chorus Kids.

One bummer that many fans will immediately point out is that Waluigi remains nowhere to be seen, despite many begging Nintendo to finally add him to the game as a playable character. Some were hoping for a late reveal by Nintendo prior to the game’s launch, but if this marketing material is to be believed and includes the whole roster, it looks like that won’t be the case.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch on December 7th. It’s set to be one of the last big releases that the company will have for the remainder of 2018, with the other big one being Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee.

New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.

Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.

Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.

Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.

Sony: We Need Non-Gamers to Access Our Content

Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.

In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.

When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.

More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.

PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.

Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.

Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.

The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
