Gods & Monsters

After an accidental leak yesterday, some Google Stadia users were able to try out an early build from Ubisoft’s Gods & Monsters. As it turns out, this was a version shown to the press at E3 2019, so it is significantly dated.

Ubisoft has since commented on the leak. Executive producer Marc-Alexis Cote told Kotaku that a lot has changed, including the name of the game. Additional news will follow at the end of summer.

Cote’s full statement reads:

Super Rare Games has announced Graceful Explosion Machine as its latest physical release. The former eShop exclusive, made by Vertex Pop, first debuted digitally in April 2017.

4,000 copies of the physical version will be produced. Each unit includes the game on a cartridge, full color manual, interior artwork, exclusive sticker, as well as three trading cards randomly selected from the five-card set.

Pre-orders open on June 18 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe. It’ll be up on Super Rare Games’ website here.

The Switch version of Deliver Us The Moon is no longer happening. Today, publisher Wired Productions and developer KeokeN Interactive announced that the game was cancelled on Nintendo’s console “after careful consideration”.

An official post doesn’t explain the situation in detail, but noted that the cancellation was decided on “based on a number of factors, not helped by the industry-wide stresses that have been felt by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has made every task just that little bit harder.”

The full statement reads:

Nintendo Switch

In the United States last month, Switch again performed well. The latest NPD report reveals that the console kept its streak going as the best-selling hardware platform in both unit and dollar sales.

There’s another impressive stat for Nintendo as well. Switch unit sales were the highest for an individual platform in a May month since the DS in May 2009.

We should also note that Switch’s year-to-date dollar sales remain the highest of any hardware platform in US history. Wii set the previous high in the year-to-date period ending May 2008.
