Key Takeaways

📺 Of Ash and Steel Preview: A Nostalgic RPG Emerges

Preview: Of Ash and Steel showcases classic RPG elements. IGN's in-depth article on Of Ash and Steel paints the title as a throwback to the golden age of medieval role-playing, complete with turn-based combat and hand-drawn environments. Players assume the role of an apprentice knight navigating treacherous castles and dense forests, with every battle feeling like a test of strategy and patience. While some textures look intentionally rough—invoking a "retro" vibe—the core systems promise "on-the-job training" that rewards exploration and mastery of classic RPG mechanics.


Anticipation builds despite no release date yet. Although the developers haven't pinned down a launch window, the buzz around this title is undeniable. IGN's video preview of Of Ash and Steel teases atmospheric vistas and lengthy dungeon crawls, making it clear why fans of old-school fantasy are intrigued. Stay tuned for confirmation of a release date—once announced, you can expect step-by-step download instructions so you're ready to embark on your first quest the moment it goes live.

📺 Donkey Kong Bananza Performance: Trade-Offs in Switch 2 Exclusive

Donkey Kong Bananza performance concerns evident in early footage. As revealed in VGC's recent coverage, the upcoming Donkey Kong Bananza, set to launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17, 2025, has drawn scrutiny for occasional frame drops and stuttering during boss encounters. According to the director, Nintendo's priority is delivering a fun experience over raw performance metrics, emphasizing tight level design and playful mechanics over buttery-smooth frame rates .


How to download Donkey Kong Bananza on Nintendo Switch 2. On release day, ensure you're connected to Wi-Fi and have enough storage space (the game is estimated at around 6-8 GB). Head to the Nintendo eShop, search for "Donkey Kong Bananza", and hit "Pre-load" as early as July 15 to jump straight into the jungle on launch morning. If you've already added it to your wishlist, you'll receive a notification the moment pre-loading opens. Don't forget to check out the official overview trailer for a sneak peek at what's in store.

📺 Subnautica 2 Drama: Behind-the-Scenes Turmoil

Subnautica 2 drama intensifies as senior staff are ousted. Recent reports from Eurogamer confirm Krafton's acknowledgment of a leaked internal review document, revealing that the publisher dismissed the CEO and two co-founders of the Subnautica development team amid delays pushing the sequel into 2026 . This shake-up reportedly cost Krafton a potential $250 million bonus, tied to timely delivery. The leaked review paints a picture of a game "ready to go", with senior staff claiming they met all quality milestones and were on track for a 2025 launch.


Legal battle erupts over Subnautica 2's fate. In a twist covered by VGC, the ousted developers have filed a lawsuit accusing Krafton of "betrayal" and wrongful termination, insisting that Subnautica 2 could have met its original release targets and secured the deferred bonus . With the sequel's underwater mysteries poised to expand the franchise, fans now wonder whether corporate conflict will leak into the final product. Watch for updates on this unfolding saga—once the court date is set, I'll provide full coverage and any implications for the game's launch window.
