Have you ever wondered what will happen after the release of Shadow Of The Erdtree? According to the Tuesday letters page, many readers believe that Microsoft and Sony should take inspiration from Nintendo for their future plans. In fact, one reader even suggested a remake of the popular game Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis. If you have thoughts on this topic, feel free to join the discussion by emailing us.
I, for one, am torn between my excitement for the upcoming release of Shadow Of Erdtree and the anticipation for From Software's next game announcement. Despite the complexity and grandeur of their games, From Software seems to have a knack for releasing them fairly quickly. After all, we only got Armored Core 6 last year and now we are getting Shadow Of Erdtree DLC. This makes me believe that they are already well into the development of their next game, which I hope will be their first title exclusively for the current generation of consoles.
Elden Ring 2 seems like a logical choice, but I doubt they would develop it so soon. Bloodborne 2 is another possibility, although the handling of the first game's development has been quite peculiar. Personally, I am hoping for something completely new, perhaps a sci-fi soulslike game that fans have been dreaming about for a long time. I am ready for a Giger-esque From Software experience!
Moving on to another topic, I can't help but think about the recent rumors of a price increase and a new tier for Game Pass, specifically to accommodate the popular game Call Of Duty. As much as I hate to admit it, I find these rumors quite believable. I am curious to know how much this new "Extra Ultimate" tier will cost, but I am also concerned about the negative backlash Microsoft will receive. However, I can't really blame them for trying to expand their audience, especially since Game Pass seems to be limited to a niche market.
On a more positive note, I am eagerly waiting for the summer showcases from Xbox and PlayStation. Although I don't have high expectations, I am hoping for some genuine surprises and not just empty promises. It would be great to hear an actual apology or explanation for the past year, but I doubt the Xbox executives will ever do that. Remember how awkwardly they announced their decision to go multiformat?
Speaking of anniversaries, I am still confused about the rumored remake of Resident Evil 1 in 2026. Was the tweet from Dusk Golem about it being fake? I find it surprising, considering it would have made perfect sense for the 30th anniversary. Plus, with most of the other remakes already done, what else could they possibly do for the occasion? Especially since they missed the 25th anniversary due to the pandemic.
If not a remake, then what can we expect for the 30th anniversary? It's a tricky question, especially since they have such a vast library of characters and stories to work with. Maybe they could try something completely different, like a demake of one of the modern games or adding cheesy dialogue and bad voice-acting as an option. Alternatively, they could release low-priced spin-offs such as a tactics game or a puzzle game. The possibilities are endless, and I am excited to see what Capcom will come up with.
Moving on, I recently came across an old Nintendo interview that reaffirmed their understanding of the dangers of focusing solely on graphics to sell a console, unlike Microsoft and Sony. Don't get me wrong, Nintendo is not immune to making mistakes, but they always try to experiment and be different. I am grateful that the Switch 2 is coming soon, especially at a time when Xbox and PlayStation have been disappointing us. I hope the new boss at Nintendo is as wise as the late Iwata-san. He may have not made any significant changes yet, but the fact that the Switch 2 was delayed to ensure quality is promising.
Nintendo has been in the gaming industry for much longer than Microsoft and Sony, yet they continue to be ignored when it comes to trying something new. Hopefully, one day the other companies will learn not to underestimate the oldest player in the game.
On a personal note, I would love to see a remake of Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis. It's not just the best point 'n' click adventure game, but also one of the best Indiana Jones stories outside of the original trilogy. However, playing it now feels a bit outdated, especially with the voiceovers. It would be amazing to see it turned into a modern 3D adventure game, with the same story and puzzles but with enhanced action elements. They could even include different difficulty levels for the puzzles, with the highest being identical to the original. But alas, I doubt this will ever happen. I just hope that the new game will not turn out to be a generic first-person action game, and that the IP will not be abandoned after the last movie.
In other news, I have been experiencing similar problems as Chaosphere with my Xbox not turning on properly. I have been using my mobile hotspot to connect, and sometimes it works smoothly, but other times it takes longer and makes strange noises. I have been wondering if it's a problem with the controller or the disc mechanism. I have even considered seeking help from YouTube repair experts, although I cannot imagine being without my Xbox. With a bit of a long-winded email, I apologize, but I just had to share my experience.
Finally, I would like to end on a positive note and express my appreciation for the GC team. It's always interesting to read your articles and the feedback from other readers. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hey there! Have you been wondering what will happen after Shadow Of The Erdtree? Well, according to the Tuesday letters page, it seems like Microsoft and Sony should take some pointers from Nintendo. In fact, one reader even suggested a remake of Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis. If you want to join in on the discussion, just shoot an email to the given address. From From with love.
I can't decide which I'm more excited about - the upcoming release of Shadow Of Erdtree or the possibility of a new game announcement from From. It's impressive how quickly they can produce games despite their size. We just got Armored Core 6 last year, so I have a feeling they're already working on their next project. Plus, with Shadow Of Erdtree being released as DLC, it's even more exciting to think that their next game could be a current-gen exclusive.
Some people might think Elden Ring 2 is the obvious choice, but personally, I'm hoping for something new and different. Maybe a sci-fi soulslike game that fans have been dreaming of for so long. I can't help but imagine a Giger-esque game from From - it would be amazing!
On a different note, have you heard the rumors about a potential price increase and new tier of Game Pass to accommodate Call Of Duty? It's easy to believe, given the recent focus on the popular franchise. But I have to wonder, what else can Xbox and PlayStation do now that they know Game Pass is only appealing to a niche audience? I really hope their upcoming summer showcases will bring some much-needed excitement, but I won't hold my breath.
Speaking of rumors, I'm still confused about whether we'll see a Resident Evil 1 remake in 2026 or not. I saw a tweet from Dusk Golem, a reliable Resident Evil leaker, saying that it might not be true. But if not, then what are they planning for the 30th anniversary? Especially since they missed the 25th due to the pandemic. Maybe a demake of one of the modern games or some low-priced spin-offs would be a good idea. There are so many possibilities with the amazing cast of characters in Resident Evil.
It's always interesting to see old interviews from Nintendo resurface. It's clear that they understand the dangers of solely focusing on graphics to sell a console, unlike Microsoft and Sony. While Nintendo isn't immune to making mistakes, they are always willing to try something different and unique. And with the upcoming release of the Switch 2, I have high hopes that the new boss will continue to follow the footsteps of the late Iwata-san.
As a fan of point 'n' click adventures, I would love to see a remake of Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis. It's not only the best game in the genre, but also one of the best Indiana Jones stories outside of the movies. However, playing it now feels a bit outdated, especially with the voiceovers. A big-budget 3D adventure with the same story and some added action elements would be a dream come true. But sadly, I have a feeling the new game might just be a generic first-person action game, especially after the last movie.
Lastly, I wanted to mention a strange issue I've been having with my Xbox Series X. It seems to have trouble connecting to my mobile hotspot sometimes, and I have to restart it to fix the problem. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the controller or the disc mechanism, but I hope it doesn't escalate into something worse. Anyway, I can't imagine not having my Xbox - there's never anything good on TV these days. And on that note, I've been playing GRID 2019, GRID Legends, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. Happy gaming!
