Will: Follow the Light is a cracking videogame name. Especially when it fades in after a few trailer shots of first-person striding across frozen wastelands and carving a wave-battered yacht through stormy seas. The mystery and peril of some unknown journey, pierced by a beam of hope and determination, all conveyed in four words and a colon.

Then you play the thing, and it’s mainly about a Norwegian bloke doing DIY in sheds. Will is just his name. Øh nø.

**BioShock 4: The Extended Journey to Its Launch**

Since the debut of *BioShock Infinite* more than ten years ago, enthusiasts of the franchise have been impatiently anticipating the forthcoming sequel. Following the dissolution of Irrational Games, the studio responsible for the original trilogy, the fate of *BioShock* appeared unclear. In 2019, however, 2K Games revealed the establishment of Cloud Chamber, a new studio focused on creating *BioShock 4*. Fast forward six years, and the game is still unreleased, prompting inquiries about what has occurred throughout this extensive development timeline.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently commented on the prolonged schedule for *BioShock 4*, shedding light on the creative obstacles encountered by the development team. He remarked, “I think finding the right creative avenue was difficult, as it turns out,” implying that traversing the creative landscape has turned out to be more arduous than expected. Zelnick admitted that the company spent “a lot of time and money pursuing some creative paths that ended up being unproductive.” Although he did not elaborate on these unproductive paths, it suggests considerable challenges in shaping the game’s story and overall vision.

A report from *Bloomberg* last summer pointed out internal dissatisfaction with the quality of the game’s narrative. This unease led to a substantial restructuring within Cloud Chamber, resulting in 80 job cuts and changes in management. Rod Fergusson, known for his close collaboration on *BioShock Infinite*, was enlisted to help realign the project in response to these difficulties.

In spite of the obstacles, Zelnick conveyed his disappointment regarding the game’s postponement, stating that such challenges are inherent to the entertainment industry, particularly in a hit-driven domain like video games. He stressed that the company’s priority is to produce the finest entertainment possible rather than the most, asserting, “Good is the new bad, great is the new great. And our goal here is to make everything exceptional.”

Currently, Zelnick has provided a slightly more hopeful perspective on the progress of *BioShock 4*, yet a release timeframe is still unclear. With the development team striving diligently to surmount previous challenges, fans maintain their hopes for an announcement that will eventually reveal the next installment in the legendary series.

**GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s Provocative eBay Auction Provokes Backlash**

In an unexpected revelation yesterday, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen disclosed intentions to auction off a selection of items on eBay to generate funds for the company’s envisioned $56 billion takeover of the online resale platform. This contentious choice follows increasing scrutiny over Cohen’s financial acumen to manage such a major corporate strategy. Significantly, some of the auctioned pieces are purported to be artifacts from the renowned *Game Informer* Vault, which preserved decades of video game heritage before GameStop closed the magazine in 2024.

Frank Cifaldi, the founder of the Video Game History Foundation, openly accused Cohen of peddling items that were once stored in the *Game Informer* Vault. Although this publication has been resurrected in print after being acquired by Gunzilla Games, the Vault’s contents still belong to GameStop. Confidential sources disclosed to *Kotaku* that while certain items, such as baseball cards, come from different sources, others—especially rare vintage games—likely originate from the Vault’s collection. Several eBay listings, including a sealed edition of *Dracula* for the NES along with other classic games, have raised eyebrows as their descriptions align with those documented in the Vault.

Commenting on the importance of these items, a former employee of *Game Informer* stated, “The Vault was seen as a library, not as a collection to be sold off.” This sentiment raises alarms about the conservation of gaming heritage, especially as numerous voices contend that such items deserve a place in a museum instead of on eBay.

Included among the items for auction is a *Fallout 4* Vault Boy statue. Nevertheless, sources could not verify its origins, as similar figures were frequently showcased in GameStop stores. A statue like this one was highlighted in various gaming publications during the game’s release and may not be specifically associated with the Vault.

Comments from industry figures, including MinnMax founder Ben Hanson, emphasize the frustration surrounding GameStop’s actions. “*Game Informer*’s legacy should be preserved in a museum, not in some collector’s eBay listings,” Hanson stated, calling for support of the current *Game Informer* team instead of participating in Cohen’s controversial activities.

In a surprising turn, Cohen announced on social media that he had been suspended from eBay, with the platform citing “activity that we believe was putting the eBay community at risk.” GameStop has not yet issued a comment on this matter or the ongoing auction.

As events unfold, many within the gaming community are left pondering the future of gaming history and the ethical concerns surrounding the commercialization of artifacts that symbolize the rich heritage of video game journalism.

### EA experienced an outstanding year, largely due to *Battlefield 6*

The top-selling game of 2025 catapulted the soon-to-be Saudi Arabia-owned publisher to an impressive annual sales figure of $8.026 billion. Despite quarterly earnings reflecting a year-over-year drop in live-service revenue, investors can still expect a generous dividend ahead of their private equity buyout slated for this summer.

“Thanks to our talented teams and disciplined execution, we achieved a record FY26, underscored by the remarkably successful launch of our renowned *Battlefield* franchise,” CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a press release. “With the recent completion of a debt process that saw strong investor interest and our ongoing positive interaction with regulators, we are eager to close the transaction and the opportunities it presents.”

This earnings report follows just two months after an unspecified number of *Battlefield 6* developers were let go across the company, despite the title’s significant success. “We’ve made specific adjustments within our *Battlefield* organization to better align our teams around what is most important to our community,” EA declared in a statement at that time. “*Battlefield* continues to be among our top priorities, and we are committed to investing in the franchise, driven by player feedback and insights from Battlefield Labs.”

### We might see *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* part 3 DLC

Part 1 received *Intergrade*, part 2 received nothing. What about part 3? That is contingent on “how strongly fans continue to support *Final Fantasy 7* as both a game and a franchise,” Naoki Hamaguchi stated in a recent interview with ntower (via Gamesradar). He remains “open to exploring those possibilities proactively.”

### *Control 2* was developed for an estimated $50 million and Remedy aims to maintain this approach

“The team and the studio have performed excellently to stay on course. They have done remarkable work to create a triple-A game on a relatively modest budget. This is something we have seen from Remedy before and will see again,” new CEO Jean-Charles Gaudechon noted during a recent earnings call (via Game Developer).

He added, “Honestly, there is something quite extraordinary about the way games are developed and managed at Remedy. It hasn’t always been that way, I recognize. There have been challenges in the past. However, the team has done outstanding work on *Control Resonant*.”

### Full-priced game purchases have become a rare luxury

According to a recent survey of gaming audiences by IGN Entertainment, 62 percent of players no longer purchase full-price games. “[Gen X] comes from a perspective of midnight openings for full-price games, console bases… [they] want to extract as much value as possible from each purchase,” stated company SVP of marketing Karl Stewart (via GamesIndustry.biz).

He further explained, “In contrast, Gen Z lives in a world of platforms… games are everlasting, and community and social interaction are essential to their identity. They desire to be part of a community where they can assert, ‘I’m the most knowledgeable. I know the most about this game.’”

### Investors may be pushing Nintendo to increase the Switch 2’s price

The company’s stock price has declined for five consecutive months as it keeps the price steady on a $450 console, even though Sony and Microsoft have raised prices on their devices. Bloomberg reports that investors are looking for Nintendo to implement a similar price adjustment to “safeguard” profit margins on the Switch 2. Naturally, Nintendo must ensure robust sales of the new console, and so far, there have been numerous reasons for players to hold onto the previous generation version.

Regular RPS readers might remember me writing a couple of times last year about a modder kicking off an attempt at porting Morrowind into Elden Ring. Their early progress looked promising, if living under the cloud of several complex things the group would have to figure out in some form to get it working.

After about half a year of major updateless silence, modder InfernoPlus has emerged from the dungeons of Vvardenfell to reveal that the mod’s now “mostly playable”, following several months of battling a number of infuriatingly complex issues.
