Release date for Zenless Zone Zero may be announced - you can now pre register for it and for that to be available on iOS they need to add a release date which is currently 3rd July 2024 however this could just be a placeholder date as they can change this date at any time.

The water cooling solutions company EK is having some serious issues with not paying employees, partners and suppliers. Judging from the full report given by Gamers Nexus it seems that the parent company in Slovenia has been mismanaging the company and its finances. This is quite sad to see as there are not that many companies who produce water blocks across so many different CPUs / GPUs. Watch the full report here.

Truth be told, the Knuckles TV series was not even on my radar until I saw this review by IGN but it seems the series is good. I think I will put this on my backlog list of shows to watch but don’t think ill be in a rush to watch it. Read the review here.

It wouldn’t be a Bethesda release without some issues and the next-gen update for Fallout 4 has a few issues. There are all different issues across PC, XBOX and PS5, but its seems that PC has the most issues. Xbox players don’t have issues to the Quality mode while for some PS5 players, they can’t access the game altogether. Find out more here.

Other Interesting Articles / Videos
Xbox hardware sales have declined quite a bit over the last year down 31% year on year. All console manufacturers have seen declines but Xbox seems to be suffering the most. On the bright side their content and services are up 62% and overall gaming revenue for Microsoft is up 51% year on year. Activision Blizzard is what has driven the much of the increase and it seems like that Xbox need their games on PS5 more than ever at this point. Find out more here.

The gaming modding community never ceases to amaze me and this time it is some modders who are using the leaked source code for GTA5 and getting it to run on the Nintendo Switch. While it does not work that well yet, I think it is pretty cool that they were able to even get it to start the game. Read more here.

Meta is making its VR OS (called Meta Horizon OS) available for other VR manufacturers to use and Asus and Lenovo have signed up. I think this is great for VR as there more competition there is in the hardware space will push innovation and eventually make thing cheaper for the consumer. Find out more details here.

Capcom is doing well in sales due to higher than expected sales of their games such as Street Fighter 6 and Dragon’s Dogma 2, while I always seems to report on things not going so well at developers recently I love to celebrate when developers are doing well. Congratulations to Capcom and I hope they continue to deliver good games. More details here.

A fan (Aggressive-Film3872 - Reddit) of Fallout has started making a demake of Fallout 3 for the Gameboy Advanced and while it is not finished yet, it is pretty cool to see. I do find demakes interesting and I always love the retro looking games so I think I will definitely be playing this if and when it gets completed / released. Check out the full post on reddit here.
