Key Takeaways

📺 Dragon Age Dreadwolf Release Date

The anticipated Dragon Age Dreadwolf will release by the end of March 2025, according to EA's financial report, which suggests that it's one of two unannounced titles that the publisher plans to launch before the fiscal year's conclusion. While concrete details remain scarce, fans are excitedly speculating and piecing together clues from teasers released over the last few years. The game's official reveal is expected during the summer, and all eyes are on EA to deliver an experience that aligns with the legacy of Dragon Age. For more details on this intriguing game, head over to EuroGamer's article for comprehensive insights.

📺 How to Download Sonic Mania Plus

Sonic Mania Plus is now exclusively available on mobile via Netflix. If you have a Netflix subscription and live in a supported region, you can easily download this mobile port of the beloved platformer on both iOS and Android devices. Whether you're nostalgic for classic Sonic the Hedgehog action or exploring it for the first time, you'll find the familiar fast-paced gameplay and creative levels right on your mobile device. Fans can check out the official launch announcement on Twitter and dive into the game with the help of Sonic Central's gameplay video.

📺 Microsoft Studio Closures Affect Redfall and Tango Gameworks

Microsoft's wave of game studio closures recently hit hard, affecting prominent developers such as Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks. Redfall developer Arkane Austin, and Hi-Fi Rush creator Tango Gameworks, are among the significant casualties in a round of cutbacks within Bethesda. Despite recent success on the PlayStation platform with Hi-Fi Rush, Tango Gameworks was unable to stave off its closure. Additionally, the impact is being felt across Ninja Theory, especially as Hellblade 2's release looms and there hasn't been much promotional buzz around the game. These closures echo actions seen at other gaming giants like PlayStation and Embracer Group, leaving gamers wondering about the fate of their favorite studios. You can read more about the situation at IGN and witness the studios' final words on their official social media channels (Arkane Studios' Twitter and Tango Gameworks' Twitter).
