Another Eden, a free-to-play RPG for PC developed by WFS Inc seems to have a Chrono Cross collaboration coming up soon. According to users, they have spotted files in the latest game update that hints at Chrono Cross characters coming to the game. Users reportedly mined the latest game files and found references to multiple Chrono Cross characters including Lucca, Serge, Kid, Harle and more. After further investigating the content, it also revealed that Another Eden will host multiple timelines that will bring a handful of Chrono Cross worlds into the game.

This includes Burning Miglance, Beast King’s Attack and more. So we can now confirm that Another Eden will get its own Chrono Cross collaboration at some point. However, the real question now is what does this mean for the latest remaster rumour. Usually, when collaborations like this take place, it is to celebrate a game’s anniversary or perhaps re-release. We know that there’s a Chrono Cross remaster in the works so perhaps this collaboration is tied to the announcement? We also know that the team behind Another Eden is made up of many veteran developers that worked on both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. It would make sense for these devs to work on something in Another Eden to celebrate Chrono Cross in some way or another. The question now is where is this remaster and when is it going to be announced? With The Game Awards looming in the distance, perhaps the show will play host to this collaboration announcement and the remaster? We can only hope.

Bioshock 4 is still at least two years out but a massive leak has appeared online that reveals the game’s supposed logo, game name and even a few gameplay details players can look forward to. The post comes from a series of sources who claim to have knowledge of the game’s development. Bioshock Isolation, as it is reportedly called, will be a very different game from what we have experienced in the past. According to the leak, Bioshock Isolation is set in a new isolated dystopian city. The game has been built on Unreal Engine 5 by Cloud Chamber. The team behind the game is made up of developers who have worked on games such as Watch Dog: Legion, Shadow of The Tomb Raider, Mafia 3 and Dues Ex. READ MORE: Life is Strange: True Colors Comes to Switch in December A leaked slide from the game’s original pitch presentation seems to show off two cities that live in a sort of mirrored dimension to one another. These cities look identical to a certain degree. City 1, as it is described is a free and wealthy city led by a “successful entrepreneur”. City 2 is an isolated underground city separated from the upper world. This city is led by a dictator who is waging war against the upper city. Then there’s the “Flipside Zone” which is the border between the two cities. The slide explains how the Flipside Zone is the centre point of the war between the two cities. A free bird icon represents the top city and a cage icon represents the bottom city. These two icons seem to play quite a big role in the game’s story and lore. However, we don’t know much about that yet. Another source claims that Bioshock Isolation is actually an open-world game. It will follow a sandbox design and feature immersive sound design, factions and a fully-interactive world. The world will also change as the player progresses through the game making for an interesting approach to the typical open-world genre. The leak also reveals that the new Bioshock Isolation might not be the name of the game. This “Isolation” tag is just being used for the game’s development process and might be changed before its announcement. Speaking of, the leak also claims the game is set to be announced in Q1 2022. However, another source says we might see the new Bioshock by the end of the year. #Bioshock Isolation (title may change) logo variant- Set in a new-to-franchise isolated dystopian city- Unreal Engine 5- Developed by Irrational Games veterans and people who worked on Watch Dogs: Legion, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Mafia 3, Deus Ex: MD- Announcement Q1 2022 pic.twitter.com/BwyXKp1LKK— Oops Leaks (@oopsleaks) November 17, 2021 Of course, like all leaks please take this with a pinch of salt. To be honest, it is quite detailed to be fake at this point and the whole “two cities” pitch also seems quite real. We can only wait and see what comes out of this.

In one of the most bizarre gaming stories currently making headlines, Microsoft once actually tried to acquire Nintendo. The Xbox Virtual Museum features a letter from the year 2000 which details how Microsoft tried to pitch an acquisition to Nintendo, who apparently laughed when the idea was proposed to them. As part of Xbox’s 20th Anniversary celebrations, Microsoft launched the Xbox Virtual Museum which showcases the history of Xbox and their various landmark moments in history. During the year 2000, Microsoft wrote a letter to Nintendo suggesting an acquisition of the huge Japanese gaming company. Naturally, this didn’t go so well. READ MORE: Life is Strange: True Colors Comes to Switch in December The letter reveals some communication between Xbox’s head of hardware at the time Rick Thompson and Nintendo of America’s former executive VP of business affairs Jacqualee Story. Much of the letter is obscured, but IGN were able to make out: “Dear Jacqualee, I appreciate you taking the time to try to arraign a meeting with Mr. Takeda and Mr. Yamauchi to discuss a possible strategic partnership between Nintendo and Microsoft on future video game platforms. I understand Mr. Takeda’s concerns about the possible partnership and will try to [obscured text] the guidelines that he has requested.” Needless to say, none of this came to fruition. Earlier this year, former director of third-party relations at Microsoft Kevin Bachus detailed the exchange between the two companies upon their initial meeting. Bachus stated: “Steve made us go meet with Nintendo to see if they would consider being acquired. They just laughed their asses off. Like, imagine an hour of somebody just laughing at you. That was kind of how that meeting went.” Microsoft have been quite aggressive with their studio acquisitions and partnerships over the past few years, and it’s hard to imagine Nintendo being a part of that now. However, they still have a decent list of developers and IPs under their belt from Obsidian Entertainment and Bethesda Game Studios to id Software and Ninja Theory. We don’t think Xbox is ready to quit just yet. Source: Xbox Virtual Museum Original article from GLITCHED
