Electronic Arts is currently in the midst of a slew of cancellations and closures, the latest being a previously unknown project code-named TFL or Titanfall Legends — a secret single-player game set in the Titanfall and Apex Legends universe. The news was first reported by Bloomberg.
Not much is known about Titanfall Legends save that it was reportedly directed by Mohammad Alavi, who served as a design on the Titanfall games among other projects. Alavi departed EA early last year.
The cancellation coincides with the closure of the mobile versions of Apex Legends and Battlefield, as well as the shuttering of Industrial Toys. According to Bloomberg, roughly 50 developers were affected by the Titanfall Legends’ cancellation. EA will reportedly try to place them in other positions within the company.
Titanfall’s last solo outing was in 2016. It initially sold poorly but subsequently gained a following thanks to its superb single-player shooter design.
“It’s rare that a sequel evolves on every part of the original concept so consistently for the better, but Titanfall 2 is that exception,” we wrote in our review at the time. “Its feelgood movement is the foundation for both the engaging action and platforming gameplay of its strong campaign and its over-the-top competitive multiplayer. With bolstered progression, customization, variety, and a fleshed-out story, Respawn has made good on its original vision with Titanfall 2. And bottom line, it’s just damn fun to play.”
It was succeeded by 2019’s Apex Legends, a battle royale that cut the mechs but retained the setting. Yesterday’s closure of Apex Legends Mobile, coming less than a year after its original release, was a surprise to observers, but EA hinted that it may return.
As for Titanfall, a proper sequel seems further away than ever.

Read moreFor today only Amazon is offering this Lightning deal: score a SanDisk Ultra 1TB Micro SDXC card for only $99.99, down about 30% from its original retail price of $139.99. This is the same deal we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity. With only 32GB of starting space (and some of it reserved for the OS), you’ll barely fit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield, which tap out at 13.5GB each! There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.
The SanDisk Ultra Micro SDXC cards are pretty much the exact same memory cards as the ones that have the Nintendo branding on them. In fact, the Nintendo branded cards are also made by SanDisk. The SanDisk Ultra has respectable U1 A1 read and write speeds. There are other more expensive U3 A2 cards that are faster, but If you’re putting this in the Nintendo Switch, it doesn’t even matter. The Nintendo Switch can only support U1 speeds, so a higher rated U3 speed will just be throttled back down to U1 speeds anyways. So make sure your money goes into maximum storage capacity, not maximum speed.
The Switch isn’t the only gaming system that accepts these cards. If you’re a Steam Deck owner, you can also use this card, especially if you picked up the 64GB storage option. This deal may come around on Black Friday, but we highly doubt that it will be any cheaper. You might as well get it now and never worry about running out of space again. Check out our guide to the best SD cards for Steam Deck for more info.

Ahead of late summer 2023 release.
If you’re on the lookout for bright and bubbly games about exploring a colourful world and making friends in a small town, then boy is this year a good one for you. But today we’re talking about Mika and the Witch’s Mountain, a fantasy adventure game about a delivery witch who carts packages around on her broom.
If this gives you Kiki’s Delivery Service vibes, then ding ding ding, you nailed it — there’s more than a little bit of Ghibli magic built into the DNA of Mika and the Witch’s Mountain. But with Wind Waker-like art and a cast of diverse characters to befriend over the course of this coming-of-age journey, there’s evidently more than enough of its own special sauce that hundreds of people have already backed the game on Kickstarter less than 24 hours after its launch.

Santa Monica Studio has confirmed that God of War Ragnarok has sold through 11 million copies.
The developer behind the latest God of War shared the news on Twitter with an adorably funny gif of Kratos making a heart with his hands.

In 2022, Sony shared that 2018’s God of War had sold more than 23 million copies through September 30, 2022. It’s important to note that those sales include the PC release of God of War, so expect a big boost to come God of War Ragnarok’s way if it makes it to PC.
While God of War Ragnarok has yet to reach the heights of 23 million copies sold, it did become the fastest-selling first-party game in PlayStation history with 5.1 million copies sold during its debut week.
In our God of War Ragnarok review, we said, “An enthralling spectacle to behold and an even more exciting one to take the reins of, God of War Ragnarok melds action and adventure together to create a new, unforgettable Norse saga. Impeccable writing, pitch-perfect performances, knockout action – it’s a complete work of art from top to bottom.”

Amnesia: The Bunker, taking their signature scares back to the first World War. We now know that the game is releasing on May 16th for PC and consoles.Hey! Look! Listen!
The Zelda timeline is a difficult beast to get your head around. There are various different threads with Link at a different stage in his heroism, things that are canon and non-canon and always the promise that the next game could come along and shift everything about (we’re looking at you, Tears of the Kingdom).
For the most part, the timeline excludes most of the Zelda spin-off sources (TV shows, manga, graphic novels and the like), though this isn’t to say that there are no interesting facts to be gained from these formats. Take the following images from ‘The Perfect Zelda Fan Book’, a Japanese guide for A Link to the Past which also contains a short manga for the first three games in the series.
