A fresh LEGO leak has revealed a $200 Donkey Kong Arcade Cabinet, reportedly due for release next month. An image posted to the r/Legoleak reddit shows the detailed arcade machine set, complete with Donkey Kong, Jumpman (AKA Mario) and a captive Princess Peach, all in their familiar positions. Several buttons and an arcade stick are present at the base of the machine, while its top is decorated with red "DONKEY KONG" letters. The set is listed as being for ages 18+ and containing 1,367 pieces, with an expected launch date of August 1. Mario: 72051 Donkey Kong Arcade Set Image (via u/Gupytex) by u/CarterBricks04 in Legoleak While further images of the set are yet to surface, it does look like the creation will feature some form of interactivity — perhaps similar to the retro Super Mario NES set that allowed you to turn a crank and scroll through a classic Mario Bros. level. You could imagine dials or buttons here being used to make Jumpman, well, jump, or move barrels alo...

Obsidian Entertainment director Brandon Adler is tired of seeing "cold take artists" who are "running their mouths" about how the studio has changed following recent Xbox layoffs. The developer responsible for directing The Outer Worlds 2, as well as a new unannounced project, made his feelings about the conversation surrounding Obsidian clear in a LinkedIn post (via Eurogamer ). Noting that it's been "an extremely difficult week" for the team, he spent time bidding farewell to those who were let go before addressing those who have been "coming out of the woodwork to talk about" what the studio "is or what it isn't." "Another difficult aspect is having to see a bunch of cold take artists coming out of the woodwork to talk about what Obsidian is or what it isn't," Adler said. "The number of times I've seen people, with no understanding of who has worked on our previous games or what they contributed, talk ...

Bethesda was hit hard by this week’s Xbox layoffs, with cuts to The Elder Scrolls and Fallout developer Bethesda Game Studios, Doom developer id Software, and The Elder Scrolls Online developer ZeniMax Online Studios, among other parts of the business. A Maryland WARN Act notice shows 213 employees were laid off from ZOS's office in Cockeysville, MD, and 166 from ZeniMax Media Inc. in Rockville, MD, for a total of 379. 96 staff who worked at id Software's office in Richardson, Texas, were cut, alongside a further 40 remote roles. While it’s difficult to pin down exactly what the affected staff were working on at these studios because there are blended teams across Bethesda locations, the WARN numbers undoubtedly make for difficult reading.
