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.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
