Creatures, a Pokémon developer, is seeking for positions working on “next generation hardware”

A 3DCG character modeler is wanted, according to a job posting for the developer that has been circulating on social media.

“Research and development for other next-generation hardware” is stated in the job description as part of the role’s work flow, which can indicate that the business is in the planning stages for a product that will be released on a future platform.

The Nintendo Switch has had the most mainline Pokémon games since any console’s launch, with 5 since 2017.

The third significant Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch in a year, after Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends: Arceus, will be Pokémon Scarlet and Violet when it launches later this month.

It’s interesting to note that the job description also mentions Detective Pikachu, PokePark, and Pokémon Ranger. The last Pokémon Ranger game was released in 2010 for the Nintendo DS, despite the fact that a Detective Pikachu sequel has been in the works for years. For the Nintendo Wii, the final PokePark app was launched in 2012.

But it’s unlikely that this portends a comeback for these shows. Since Creatures usually focuses on Pokémon modeling for games in the main series, these games are the most recent ones in the Pokémon series to have them as the development lead.

Although Creatures Inc has been a part of the Pokémon property since its inception, the company just recently joined forces with Game Freak as the game series transitioned to 3D with 2013’s X and Y.

Along with Nintendo, Game Freak and Creatures Inc. jointly own the Pokémon video game series.

Up to four players can freely explore an open environment when Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is released in November.

Additionally, it has been revealed that Ed Sheeran’s new song, which is inspired by Pokémon, will appear in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Nintendo revealed plans to release an exclusive Scarlet & Violet-themed Switch OLED console in September.

Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.

Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.

The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.

Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?

New Destiny 2 Microtransaction Is Bad Bungie Removed It from PS5, PS4

Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.

The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.

This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.

Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.

After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”

This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.

Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.

Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.

Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
