Express Tribune09-05-2025

Toby Fox's popular RPG Deltarune continues with the upcoming release of Chapters 3 and 4, which will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC.
The new instalments will be released on 5 June 2025 and mark the next chapter in Fox's distinct storytelling journey, nearly four years after the launch of Chapter 2.
Nintendo confirmed the new content as part of its Switch 2 launch lineup. The bundle will include all previously released chapters, allowing new players to experience the full story from the beginning.
Deltarune follows the character Kris in a surreal, choice-driven world where gameplay blends turn-based combat with emotional storytelling and unpredictable humour. With Fox again handling both game design and music, fans can expect a continuation of the series' unique tone and visual style.
The upcoming chapters will also be available on PlayStation and PC, ensuring a wide release for returning players regardless of platform.
Chapters 3 and 4 are expected to advance the plot significantly, although specific story details remain under wraps. The addition of new content promises more character development, expanded environments and further evolution of the game's mechanics.
Since its debut, Deltarune has built a dedicated audience through its storytelling and unconventional gameplay. The delay between chapters has only heightened anticipation, and the June release is set to be one of the year's major indie gaming events.

007 First Light revealed: New James Bond game by IO Interactive

Danish studio IO Interactive has confirmed the official title of its long-anticipated James Bond game. Formerly referred to as Project 007, the game is now known as 007: First Light and will be unveiled later this week, ahead of the annual Summer Game Fest. According to the game's official website, 007: First Light will present 'a wholly original Bond origin story,' allowing players to step into the role of the iconic British spy and earn their 00 status. The studio has not disclosed specific platforms for the game, but First Light was briefly teased during April's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, suggesting the title will appear on Nintendo's upcoming console. IO Interactive, best known for its Hitman series, is crafting the game independently of any existing James Bond films. Chief executive Hakan Abrak confirmed in previous interviews that the studio's iteration of Bond will be unique to its universe and not derived from the portrayals seen in cinema. 'What's exciting about that project is that we actually got to do an original story,' Abrak said. 'It's not a gamification of a movie. It's completely beginning and becoming a story, hopefully for a big trilogy out there in the future.' 007: First Light is set to launch as the opening chapter in a planned trilogy. Its announcement is part of a broader slate of third-party titles revealed for the Nintendo Switch 2, including Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Street Fighter 6, Yakuza 0: Director's Cut, and FromSoftware's The Duskbloods. Nintendo also confirmed several first-party titles, such as Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and Kirby Air Riders. While IO Interactive has not confirmed whether First Light will feature at Summer Game Fest Live—scheduled for Friday, 6 June—fans are anticipating further details. The showcase is also expected to feature new footage from Hideo Kojima's studio and a mysterious title known only as Ill.

Nintendo aims to match Switch success with new console

TOKYO: Nintendo hopes to match the runaway success of the Switch when its levelled-up new console hits shelves Thursday, with strong early sales expected despite the gadget's high price. Featuring a bigger screen and more processing power, the Switch 2 is an upgrade to its predecessor, which has sold 152 million units since launching in 2017 – making it the third best-selling video game console of all time. But despite buzz among fans and robust demand for pre-orders, headwinds for Nintendo include uncertainty over US trade tariffs and whether enough people are willing to shell out. The Switch 2 'is priced relatively high' compared to the original device, company president Shuntaro Furukawa said at a financial results briefing in May. 'So even if there is momentum around the launch, we know it will not be easy to keep that momentum going over the long term,' he warned. Sales of the Switch, which can connect to a TV or be played on the go, were boosted by the popularity of games like 'Animal Crossing' as a pandemic lockdown pastime. The Japanese company forecasts it will shift 15 million Switch 2 consoles in the current financial year, roughly equal to the original in the same period after its release. The new device costs $449.99 in the United States, over a third more than the Switch. A Japan-only version is cheaper, at 49,980 yen ($350). New Switch 2 games such as 'Donkey Kong Bonanza' and 'Mario Kart World' – which allows players to go exploring off-grid – are also more expensive than existing Switch titles. Most original Switch games can be played on the Switch 2, and some Switch blockbusters such as 'Zelda: Breath of the Wild' will have enhanced editions released for the new incarnation. 'Super excited' 'People were a bit shocked by the price of 'Mario Kart World', the first $80 game that we've ever seen,' said Krysta Yang of the Nintendo-focused Kit & Krysta Podcast. While the company is 'going to have to do some work' to convince more casual gamers that it's worth upgrading, Nintendo fans are 'super excited', she told AFP. The Switch 2 will have eight times the memory of the first Switch, and its controllers, which attach with magnets, can also be used like a desktop computer mouse. Nintendo's robust lottery applications indicate pent-up Switch 2 demand Although the new console is not radically different, 'a lot of people (are) saying, 'this is what I wanted, I wanted a more powerful Switch – don't mess with a good thing',' said Yang, a former Nintendo employee. New functions allowing users to chat as they play online and temporarily share games with friends could also be a big draw, said David Gibson of MST Financial. 'It's a way to appeal to an audience which has got used much more to the idea of streaming games and watching games, as well as playing games,' he told AFP, predicting that the Switch 2 will break records in terms of early sales. And success is crucial for Nintendo. While the 'Super Mario' maker is diversifying into theme parks and hit movies, around 90 percent of its revenue still comes from the Switch business, analysts say. Tariff trouble? Nintendo delayed pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the United States by two weeks as it assessed the impact from President Donald Trump's global assault on free trade. But its pre-orders have since sold out in the US market and elsewhere, with the company boasting of particularly high demand in Japan. Furukawa said in May that Nintendo's financial projections are based on the assumption of US tariffs of 10 percent on products produced in Japan, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and 145 percent on China. 'Hardware for North America is mainly produced in Vietnam,' he added. Trump's hefty so-called 'reciprocal' tariff of 46 percent on goods from Vietnam is on pause, while those on China have been slashed. Tariff uncertainty could in fact push consumers to buy a Switch 2 sooner, because they are worried that the price could go up, Yang said. Charlotte Massicault, director of multimedia and gaming at the French retail giant Fnac Darty, told AFP that pre-sale demand has been 'well above what we imagined'. 'For us, this will be a record in terms of first-day sales for a games console,' she said. The Switch 2 is 'less of a family-focused product, and more of a 'gamer' product' compared to the Switch, she said. 'That's what Nintendo wanted, and it works.'

Megan Fox reflects on pregnancy with Machine Gun Kelly at 38: 'Women do not have an expiration date'

Megan Fox has opened up about her fourth pregnancy, calling it an 'unplanned but a happy surprise' with former fiancé Machine Gun Kelly. The actress, now 39, shared the personal update via Instagram on May 21 alongside a clip from her new Amazon Prime series Overcompensating. '38 years old six weeks pregnant (unplanned but a happy surprise),' Fox wrote over the video. She revealed she was already in the early stages of pregnancy while filming the show, which adds context to her performance in the upcoming comedy series. In the same post, Fox sent a broader message about age and womanhood, challenging social expectations about ageing and fertility. 'Please stop listening to the patriarchy. Women are eternal light beings. We do not have an expiration date,' she stated. 'Don't let them rob you of your power. @overcompensating.' Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, who were previously engaged, welcomed their daughter in March. This marks Fox's fourth child and her first with MGK. The actress has three sons from her previous marriage. Overcompensating, where Fox plays a lead role, is now available to stream on Amazon Prime, offering fans a new look at her comedic talents during a transformative time in her life.
