Nintendo is requesting participants in its secretive Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program do not disclose details of the test.
Earlier this week, Nintendo announced it would soon be playtesting a new Switch Online feature, but only up to 10,000 people would be accepted.

Nintendo has issued a copyright strike against a YouTube channel that reviews emulation handhelds.
The channel in question, Retro Game Corps, describes itself as offering “in-depth reviews and showcases” as well as “emulation setup guides”. One of its more recent videos has received a copyright strike from Nintendo, marking a second strike for the channel.
“My Wii U video was taken down and I received another copyright strike, even though this showcase video was no different than all of the tech demos and reviews I have made on this channel previously,” Retro Game Corps owner Russ wrote in a statement on YouTube (thanks, TimeExtension).
Russ is now considering filing a counterclaim as he believes the video “was for educational use, transformative in nature, and had no effect on the market”.

It wasn’t much of a secret given it’d already been rated by the ESRB, but Sony’s Horizon Zero Dawn remaster is finally official, and it’ll be launching for PS5 and PC on 31st October this year.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (which was first rumoured all the way back in 2022) is the work of series developer Guerrilla Games and the Sony owned Nixxes, and promises a range of enhancements for the now seven-year-old original.

As per Sony’s latest State of Play broadcast, it’ll include “more than ten hours” of rerecorded conversation motion capture, as well as “countless” graphical improvements said to give the remaster the same visual fidelity of Horizon Forbidden West. These include upgraded character models, improved shaders and textures, enhanced conversation cameras to go with the new mo-cap, plus support for 3D audio, DualSense haptic triggers, and even your old saves.

Behaviour Interactive has cancelled its Dead by Daylight four-player co-op spin-off, known only as Project T, after early player testing “yielded unsatisfactory overall results”.

Project T, developed by Midwinter Entertainment, was an attempt to create a PvE experience set in the Dead by Daylight universe. It would see four players – cast as trespassers in the Entity’s realm – tackling new enemies The Thrall using guns, trucks, and talismans.

At the time of its announcement in May, Project T was described as being very early in development, but Behaviour Interactive revealed it would be launching an Insider Programme to gather fan feedback. Unfortunately, it seems the responses weren’t especially glowing.
