Doom Eternal launched earlier this year on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia, but the promised Switch port has not yet come out. Considering the quality of the first game’s Switch port, expectations are high for the sequel, but a release date still hasn’t been announced. According to the game’s producers, that’s set to change soon.

In an interview with Gamereactor, picked up on by Nintendo Everything, Id Software’s Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin have promised that more news on the port, which is being handled by Switch port specialists Panic Button, will be revealed before too long. “We’ll be talking about the release date pretty soon,” Stratton said. “We haven’t announced that yet – I can’t do that now. It’s really made great progress.”

Stratton, who calls the other console versions of the game a “feather in the cap” of Id Software’s tech team, believes that the Switch version will be similarly impressive on Nintendo’s scaled-down hardware. “I think it’ll be every bit as good as Doom 2016 was, and I’m super excited for people to get it,” he says.

Take-Two is reviving the BioShock franchise, but series creator, designer, and writer Ken Levine is not working on it. He’s instead working on a different, more experimental project within Take-Two. The project has been in the works for years, but it remains unannounced and largely a mystery.

Speaking at the GameLab 2020 event, Levine shared a few further teases about his new game, while he also offered a wider outlook on his thoughts on game design and production.

“I can’t really talk about the new game, but there’s some weird sh** in that game,” he said.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (known as Professor Layton and the Lost Future in some territories) has been announced for mobile devices, bringing the now 10-year-old puzzle game to a wider audience. The game, which originally launched on the Nintendo DS, will be updated with HD visuals for mobile devices.

The Professor Layton Twitter account announced the game’s impending release, and it’s not far off at all. It’s due to release on July 13, and the game’s name will depend on your region. It’s coming to both iOS and mobile, and a new site details the game’s improved graphics and beloved story.

The game follows Professor Layton and Luke in a time-travelling adventure, in which the two team up with an older Luke from the future to prevent something terrible from occurring. It was well-received at launch, and is regarded by many as the best game in the series.

The first two Layton games are available on mobile, as well as Layton’s Mystery Journey, starring Professor Layton’s daughter Katrielle Layton. That game debuted on mobile before making its way to the 3DS and Switch. Spin-off Layton Brothers Mystery Room, meanwhile, remains a mobile exclusive.

A price has not been announced, but previous games in the series have generally launched at $16 on the App Store.

GameSpot gave the game an 8.5/10 on DS back in 2010. “Whether you fancy obliterating the many brainteasers or just getting by with the minimum, one truth will remain clear: The gentleman’s sport of solving a puzzle will never go out of style,” wrote reviewer Bethany Massimilla–and that certainly remains the case.

The mobile version of the free-to-play battle royale game PUBG has crossed a new sales milestone. Research firm Sensor Tower reports that the Tencent-developed battle royale game has passed $3 billion in lifetime revenue.

PUBG Mobile has brought in an estimated $1.3 billion so far in 2020–March 2020 was the highest month on record with $270 million alone. This uptick in microtransaction sales is thought to be fueled in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is keeping people at home playing more games.

The $3 billion in lifetime microtransaction revenue for PUBG Mobile includes the western game, which is called PUBG Mobile, and the Chinese edition that is called Game For Peace.

Sleeping Dogs looks to be moving ahead with its film adaptation, which was announced back in 2017 but has not started production yet. The film, based on the 2012 game by United Front Games and Square Enix London Studios, might begin shooting soon.

The movie, which we’ve heard little about since 2018, will star Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as Wei Shen, the game’s protagonist. Yen has posted an update to his Weibo account, which was picked up on by Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel Ahmad on Twitter. In it, he teases that he is working on a new movie, and he uses the hashtag “#sleepingdog”.

Unless this is, by some huge coincidence, a relevant term to another movie he’s attached to, he’s likely referring to this video game adaptation.

The Sleeping Dogs franchise never really took off, despite the first game being well-received. A spin-off, Triad Wars, was cancelled during its beta, and United Front Games shut down in 2016. The game received a re-release on PS4 and Xbox One, but never got a sequel.

The movie could still be a while away, with no director, or cast aside from Donnie Yen, announced yet.

While many films have delayed production or release due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s at least one more major video game adaptation due in cinemas in 2020, with Paul WS Anderson’s Monster Hunter due September 3.
