Разработчик TRON Bithell Games увольняет большинство штатных сотрудников.
Британский независимый разработчик Bithell Games сократил «большинство» своего штатного коллектива всего через несколько недель после выхода своей экшн-игры с временной петлей Tron: Catalyst. Студии не удалось обеспечить себя новым крупным проектом для поддержания операционной деятельности.
Увольнения затронули 11 сотрудников, как объявил сегодня глава студии Майк Битхелл в заявлении в социальных сетях. Это решение оставляет будущее направление студии неопределённым.
«В преддверии запуска нашей последней игры стало очевидно, что мы, как и многие команды в 2024 и 2025 годах, не смогли избежать трудностей с привлечением финансирования на разработку», — пояснил Битхелл. «Мы смогли заранее предупредить о этих проблемах и работали над тем, чтобы поддержать увольняемых сотрудников выходными пособиями».
Ранее Bithell Games разработали Tron: Identity, гибрид головоломки и визуальной новеллы. Тот проект послужил подтверждением концепции и установил рабочие отношения студии с Disney по этой научно-фантастической франшизе.
До проектов по Tron студия получила признание за тактическую RPG John Wick Hex. Её более ранние инди-хиты, Thomas Was Alone и Volume, впервые закрепили её репутацию.
«Должен подчеркнуть, что это была невероятная команда исключительно талантливых людей, — добавил Битхелл. — Любым работодателям-разработчикам, которые это читают: каждый затронутый сотрудник станет прекрасным пополнением. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами, если хотите получить рекомендацию».
«Это известие не влияет на доступность наших существующих самостоятельно издаваемых тайтлов или их текущую поддержку. Мы глубоко благодарны нашему сообществу и надеемся, что вы будете следить за нашими бывшими сотрудниками в их новых ролях. Bithell Games всегда определялась и возвышалась своими людьми. Сегодня нас стало меньше».

Following the success of the original 2018 title, which was praised for its authenticity and attention to detail, the sequel has raised the bar significantly.
At events like Gamescom, E3, and The Game Awards, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 stole the spotlight with a stunning new demo showcasing enhanced graphics, deeper character systems, and a more expansive open world set in 15th-century Bohemia.

The sequel also introduces a more impactful story that intertwines personal choices with the fate of the kingdom, making every decision feel weighty.

Note: As of now, "Dying Light: The Beast" is not an officially released game or DLC in the Dying Light series. The title may be a fan-made rumor, a fictional concept, or a confusion with the actual game "Dying Light 2: Stay Human," which was released in 2022. Therefore, there is no official "Weapons Overview" for a game called "Dying Light: The Beast" published by IGN or any other source.
However, if you're referring to a hypothetical or fan-created expansion titled Dying Light: The Beast, here's a speculative weapons overview based on the established lore and gameplay style of the Dying Light series:
Dying Light: The Beast – Hypothetical Weapons Overview (Fan Concept)
Set in the post-apocalyptic city of Harran, this rumored expansion introduces a new threat: a feral, mutated beast known as "The Hunger" — a massive, hyper-aggressive humanoid predator born from viral mutation. The game's new weapons focus on close-quarters combat, environmental destruction, and countering the beast’s overwhelming strength.
🔥 New Weapons (Hypothetical)
Cleaver-Maul (Melee)
Description: A two-handed, serrated blade fused with a heavy hammer head. Designed to break through the beast’s thickened hide and bone.
Unique Mechanic: Can be used to "stun" the beast by landing three consecutive heavy strikes, briefly disrupting its movements.
Best For: Close combat and environmental takedowns.
Sonic Scythe (Melee/Utility)
Description: A high-frequency blade that emits pulses when swung, disorienting nearby infected and stunning The Hunger.
Unique Mechanic: Generates a shockwave on critical hits, launching smaller infected into the air and creating openings for combos.
Best For: Crowd control and interrupting beast charges.
Grapple-Cage (Ranged/Trapping)
Description: A modified grappling hook launcher that fires a retractable steel net.
Unique Mechanic: Can ensnare The Hunger mid-leap, immobilizing it for 5 seconds while alerting nearby infected.
Best For: Tactical escapes and setting up environmental kills.
Viral Grenades (Explosive/Utility)
Description: Thrown explosives infused with a modified strain of the H-17 virus, causing temporary mutations in infected and weakening The Hunger.
Unique Mechanic: Explode on impact to create a "viral pulse" that slows infected and causes them to attack each other.
Best For: Area denial and forcing The Hunger into traps.
Molten Spine (Hybrid Weapon)
Description: A flamethrower built into a retractable spear.
Unique Mechanic: When thrust into The Hunger’s back, it ignites a core burst, dealing massive damage and leaving a trail of fire.
Best For: High-risk, high-reward finishing moves.
🎮 New Gameplay Feature: Beast Takedown System
The Hunger cannot be killed with regular attacks. Players must use environmental hazards (e.g., collapsing buildings, gas tanks) and timed weapon combos to trigger a "Cataclysm" finisher.
Requires players to lure the beast into traps and use sound-based distractions (e.g., breaking glass, flares) to time the final strike.
⚠️ Important Note:
There is currently no official game titled Dying Light: The Beast. The Dying Light series, developed by Techland, includes:
Dying Light (2015)
Dying Light 2: Stay Human (2022)
If you saw an "IGN First" article titled "Dying Light: The Beast – Weapons Overview", it may be a hoax, a fan-made article, or a fictional piece. Always verify sources through official channels like IGN’s website, Techland’s official site, or verified game announcements.
Let me know if you'd like a real weapons guide from Dying Light 2: Stay Human instead!

As of now, there is no official release date for Elden Ring: Nightreign. The game is not confirmed to exist as a standalone title from FromSoftware or Bandai Namco. It's possible that "Nightreign" is a fan-made concept, a mod, a rumored expansion, or a mix-up with another title.
However, Elden Ring—the acclaimed action RPG developed by FromSoftware and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki with a story co-written by George R.R. Martin—was released on February 22, 2022. Its official expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, was released on June 21, 2024.
If you're referring to a new DLC or sequel, such as a potential Elden Ring 2 (often rumored), there has been no official announcement from FromSoftware or Bandai Namco about a follow-up. Any speculation about a "Nightreign" release date should be treated with caution until confirmed by official sources.
For accurate updates, always check official channels like:
FromSoftware's website

As of recent reports, Steve Lacy's song "Lava" briefly topped the UK Singles Chart. The track, known for its smooth blend of R&B and alternative pop, rose to number one on the Official UK Charts after strong streaming numbers and growing fan support. While "Lava" held the top spot for just one week, its achievement marked a significant milestone for Lacy, highlighting his rising international profile.
The song's success was driven by continued popularity from his acclaimed 2023 debut album Gemini Rights, which received widespread critical praise. Although "Lava" didn't maintain a long reign at number one, its brief chart-topping run underscores the enduring appeal of Lacy’s music in the UK and beyond.
Please note: Chart positions can vary slightly depending on the source and date of reporting, and as of now, no new official updates have confirmed a longer stay at number one for "Lava."
