Dungeons & Dragons Game From God of War 3 Director Cancelled by Hasbro

According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Wizards of the Coast cancelled an unannounced Dungeons & Dragons action-adventure game being developed by Giant Skull. This decision was likely due to a company-wide restructuring at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro’s cancellation of their publishing agreement with Giant Skull, which happened about a year after the game was first revealed. The game’s director, Asmussen, had assembled a team of experienced developers who previously collaborated with him on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order at EA.

Lords of the Fallen 2 Ends Publishing Deal with Epic Games

Lords of the Fallen 2 is the newest installment in the Lords of the Fallen series, continuing the story after the 2023 reboot. While the first reboot received mixed initial reactions, it gained a dedicated following over time thanks to ongoing updates. A key reason for the series’ continued popularity is its unique gameplay, which allows players to travel between two different worlds. This strong interest led Epic Games to offer CI Games a publishing deal in 2024, making Lords of the Fallen 2 exclusively available on the Epic Games Store on PC for as long as the game is sold. Epic Games often makes similar deals with game developers for exclusive PC releases, a practice that some PC gamers dislike because it limits where they can purchase games.

Crypto Chaos: Trump, BTC, and a Swan-Sized Lawsuit!

Bitcoin, the ringmaster of this circus, wobbled between $77,300 and $78,000, having failed to stick its landing earlier in the week. Blame it on ETF outflows and geopolitical noise-the kind of stuff that makes even the most stoic hodler twitch. Meanwhile, Ethereum held its ground in the $2,100-$2,200 range, while Solana and XRP took a tumble, proving that even the fanciest altcoins can trip over their own shoelaces.
