FromSoftware boss and treacherous moon denier Hidetaka Miyazaki has emerged from his Nintendo-nuzzling weasel den to reassure the braying masses that FromSoftware's traditional focus on single player games isn't going dodo just because they so happened to announce two co-op games - Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods - in the space of five minutes, then ran away with a bag of money shouting "single player is dead 4eva". What a tremendous relief.

It was Tuesday June 25, 2019. San Francisco became the first US city to (temporarily) ban the sale of vapes, SpaceX successfully launched and deployed 24 satellites and I sat in Nintendo’s UK office on the outskirts of London, playing a demo of a game that still isn’t out.  However, according to yesterday's Switch 2 presentation, Hollow Knight: Silksong will arrive at some point this year.

According to the latest word on the GPU grapevine, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti will be priced with the same strategy as its predecessor, the RTX 4060 Ti. If that's true, it could mean the RTX 5060 Ti price is $399 for a card with just 8GB of VRAM, which is a lot to ask in 2025. Nvidia is reportedly set to release the RTX 5060 Ti in April 2025, and a new leak has potentially revealed the price of both the 8GB and 16GB models.

"I personally am not much of a PvP person". It's perhaps fair to say that Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods has many FromSoftware fans feeling rather conflicted. The focus is very much on PvP gameplay, which isn't totally alien to players of Dark Souls and Elden Ring, but suggested to some that the game might not have the strong single-player focus and narrative we've come to admire in FromSoftware's titles. In an interview with Nintendo, FromSoftware boss Hidetaka Miyazaki has moved to dampen t...
