It's been a long week, but that week has been punctuated by Metroid Dread, the newest entry in the long-running franchise. While Anthony hasn't had the chance to dive into it quite yet, Cameron is offering up his early impressions in Episode 43 of Game Rant Arcade, along with plenty of news.
Kicking things off, \ new Avowed details have surfaced via Windows Central. The game will reportedly be similar to Skyrim mechanically, with visuals more akin to The Outer Wilds. Additionally, the game will reportedly be more class-based than what Skyrim offers, which will be a curse or a blessing depending on the player's preferences.
In other news, the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy was confirmed after months of rumors and speculation. There's still little in the way of details about the scope of the remakes, which will include Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. However, Rockstar will likely reveal more soon.
More dramatically, FIFA reportedly wants $1 billion every four years to license its name, setting up a battle between it and EA. However, EA has already registered a trademark for a new name in Britain and the EU, so it doesn't seem likely that the company will be willing to spend that much.
Finally, there have been some more developments about Ubisoft's future. Ghost Recon Frontline's closed tech test has been indefinitely delayed following negative fan feedback, though Ubisoft didn't cite that as the reason for the delay. Addittionally, Far Cry 7 might have an emphasis on online play, which is in line with recent Ubisoft moves.
