A little while back, Choice Provisions teased a new playable world in Runner3. The reveal took place today, with Machineland being announced.

Here’s what Choice Provisions shared about the new area:

“Machineland is not exactly paradise, as evidenced by the cigar-smoking smokestack Titans shown above. It’s cold, it’s smelly, and it’s polluted. As such, what better place is there for CommanderVideo and friends to spread their special brand of cheer?”

Choice Provisions also said today that Runner3 is in the “homestretch of development”. You can count on much more information in the weeks and months ahead.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke during a technology event earlier today. One topic discussed was none other than Switch.

Zelnick expressed interest in Switch, stating that Take-Two believes in the system. He also acknowledged the “very successful launch.” As far as support goes, Take-Two won’t be putting everything on Switch, but will bring out select tieles.

Zelnick’s full words:

“We believe in it. We see it the way [Nintendo does]; it’s been a very successful launch. It remains to be seen how it does, but we’re excited about it. Assuming there is an installed base, we’ll be there. Not with all of our titles, but selectively.”
