LEGO City: Undercover’s newly opened website confirms that the game won’t have any multiplayer. The teaser page lists Undercover as a single-player experience. There had been speculation regarding the possibility of co-op play, but it looks like those rumors never panned out. LEGO City looks quite enjoyable nonetheless!

Thanks to Jax for the tip.

Bungie’s next game, Destiny, is heading to a whole bunch of different platforms. But as things stand now, it doesn’t seem as though the Wii U will be included in Activision’s plans.

Destiny has been confirmed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and “future generation technology”. Even a PC version is up for consideration. Bungie, however, has said nothing about a Wii U release.

Will the situation change in the future? We can only hope.
