Palworld Rival dévoilé au milieu d’un dilemme de procès

La sortie surprise de Pocketpair sur Nintendo Switch au milieu d'une bataille juridique

Pocketpair, le développeur impliqué dans un litige, a lancé de manière inattendue son titre 2019, OverDungeon, sur le Nintendo eShop. Ce jeu de cartes d'action, mêlant des éléments de tower defense et de roguelike, marque la première sortie de Pocketpair sur Nintendo Switch. Le lancement n’a pas été annoncé, ce qui ajoute à la surprise. Pour célébrer les débuts de la Switch, OverDungeon est actuellement à 50 % de réduction jusqu'au 24 janvier.

La décision de la société intervient au milieu d'une bataille juridique en cours avec Nintendo et The Pokémon Company.

La sortie stratégique de OverDungeon sur le Nintendo eShop a suscité des spéculations en ligne, certains suggérant qu'il s'agit d'une réponse calculée au procès.

OverDungeon sur Switch est particulièrement remarquable étant donné que Palworld est disponible sur PS5 et Xbox. La décision de lancer OverDungeon exclusivement sur le Nintendo eShop reste inexpliquée.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment.

In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
