Dying Light: Bad Blood’s Steam Debut Sees Fewer Than 500 Players at Its Peak

Dying Light’s battle royale standalone failed to impress during its debut week on Steam.

Techland’s attempt at hopping on the battle royale bandwagon hasn’t panned out very well so far, with Bad Blood peaking at 455 concurrent players during its first week on Steam, according to GitHyp.

The figure has continued to fall since then, with the concurrent player count falling to below 100 this week.

Dying Light: Bad Blood launched as a $20/ £16 standalone on September 13, and has mixed reviews on Steam, compared to Dying Light’s very positive reviews, and while it’s still in Early Access, it doesn’t seem to have generated much interest in the community, judging by the player count.

Justin Bieber Producer, Skrillex, And Utada Hikaru Are Behind The Kingdom Hearts 3 Opening Theme Song

Here’s something cool and unexpected: Skrillex is teaming up with singer-songwriter Utada Hikaru to write the opening theme music for Kingdom Hearts III. And the song is produced by the person who helped Justin Bieber write “What Do You Mean.”

The song is called “Face My Fears,” and it’ll be released on January 18, 2019 alongside the previously announced Kingdom Hearts III song “Don’t Think Twice.”

Publisher Square Enix said in a press release that Skrillex originally planned to simply remix Hikaru’s “Don’t Think Twice” for the opening theme music. But because Skrillex and Hikaru are friends, they decided to write a completely new song instead.

Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a while longer to hear “Face My Fears,” it seems. Some other notes about the song: it was produced by Poo Bear, who also produced Justin Bieber’s smash hit “What Do You Mean.” Skrillex, meanwhile, has won eight Grammy Awards.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is set to release on January 29, 2019 on Xbox One and PS4. For more, check out all of GameSpot’s previous written and video content here.
