Ark: Survival Ascended's First Expansion Lost Colony Is Coming This Year
Ark fans have been waiting for more information regarding Ark 2 since its debut trailer at The Game Awards 2020. Studio Wildcard may be getting closer to revealing more information, as the team announced the first original expansion for Ark: Survival Ascended, Lost Colony, that will directly link the Ark story to the upcoming sequel this November.
Lost Colony will see players assume the role of heroine Mei Yin--voiced by Everything Everywhere All At Once's Michelle Yeoh--as she searches a new world for hidden secrets. The expansion will add new abilities, gear, builds, beasts to tame, and more to the game, while those who preorder the expansion will receive "exclusive gameplay preview content" immediately after placing the order.
The expansion will include multiple anime story sequences created by Studio MAPPA, which is known for multiple hit series including Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man. Along with Yeoh, the voice cast also includes The Wheel Of Time's Madeleine Madden as Helena Walker and Moana's Auli'i Cravalho as Meeka.

Fortnite's roster of streamers who have skins in the item shop just got a little bigger with the addition of Cody "Clix" Conrod, who, at 19 years old, will be one of the youngest people ever to have a Fortnite skin based on them. Along with the new Clix skin, there will be a full slate of Clix-related cosmetics and, in a first for this sort of thing, a Clix-themed remix of an existing skin.
Clix, for those who aren't familiar, made a name for himself by earning a spot in the Fortnite World Cup in 2019 when he was just 14 years old. And while he continues to compete at the highest levels, he's also become a popular streamer and personality, which is how he's landed his very own Fortnite skin.
Clix's slate of cosmetics will include a single skin that comes with two distinctive styles based on a meme you probably know even if he's new to you--one in which he's sporting a t-shirt and pajama pants, and another in which he's wearing a suit and tie. In addition to the skin, Clix's set includes two back blings, two emotes, a wrap, and a pickaxe.

Final Fantasy I-VI Anniversary Collection is on sale for $50 for Nintendo Switch and PS4 at Amazon. This deal is also available at Target and GameStop. Amazon Customers who live in the Midwest can get an extra 10% off the Switch edition. Meanwhile, PlayStation users can snag a physical edition for only $40 at Woot. Overall, you're saving up to $35 off the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection's $75 MSRP.
Released last October for Switch and PlayStation, the Anniversary Edition comes with a sticker sheet of Final Fantasy character sprites. It's worth emphasizing that this is a true physical release, with all six Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on the Switch cartridge or PS4 disc (fully compatible with PS5). Square Enix initially released the physical in 2023, but the small print run sold out extremely fast. Last fall's re-release brought the collection to major retailers for the first time as the Anniversary Edition.

Saints Row Studio Was Too Expensive For What They Were, Exec Says
Saints Row studio Volition shut down in 2023 after 30 years, leading many to wonder about the future of the open-world crime franchise. The fate of the franchise is unknown, but Saber Interactive founder Matthew Karch shared some context surrounding the series. In short, he said the developer got too expensive to maintain.
"The Saints Row team is gone. They were so expensive for what they were," Karch told Stephen Totilo for his GameFile newsletter, as reported by GamesRadar. "They didn't know what they were building. They didn't have any real direction. It couldn't last. And so, who's going to fund them for the next game after that disaster?"
The newest Saints Row game was the 2022 reboot. The game underperformed commercial expectations at launch, but Embracer's CEO said he was confident the game would make money and serve as a "starting point" for the series going forward.

As a special 24-hour promotion, developer Lucid 11 is offering Party Club for free on Steam, with the price rising to $16 afterward. There is also a special in-game outfit that players can unlock by checking out the co-op game on today's release.
Party Club seems similar to the popular Overcooked series, as people work together to serve customers. In this game, however, the consumers are furry creatures and seating considerations must be addressed. For example, Lucid 11 states that putting a panda bear at the same table as a tiger could create serious issues.
That's not all, either. Party Club stands out in a couple of ways from other meal-preparing experiences. The online co-op title (for up to four people) lets players set up their location before hitting a gong to open up shop to animal customers. Also, hilariously, if you're tired of working on mixology, Party Club allows for fighting clientele and removing them from the premises.

Amazon is producing a new God of War TV show for Prime Video, and the company is apparently pretty confident in it. According to writer Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, For All Mankind), Amazon has already ordered a second season, even before Season 1 has aired.
Appearing on The Sackhoff Show with Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff, Moore said the God of War TV show is his current project, and writers are now putting the show together.
"Right now I'm working on the adaptation of this video game called God of War that Amazon has ordered two seasons of and they asked me to come in, I'm literally in the writers room and that's my new thing," he said, as reported by GamesRadar.
