And…there we go! It’s officially Friday, folks. I’m filling in for Ethan, who should have written today’s edition, so if you prefer his take on Morning Checkpoint, well, sorry, you have to deal with me. This morning, we learn about Double Fine’s future, get ready to watch a weird Fortnite stream, check out what’s up with Black Ops 7‘s campaign, and catalog the first game to run away from Silksong‘s September launch. Oh and here’s a trailer for a movie that looks like Jaws, but set during the Second World War. Enjoy?

Yesterday, after many years of waiting, we finally got a release date for Silksong. It’s arriving next month, and one game is already throwing in the towel and delaying its launch to avoid the indie superstar sequel. On Friday, the devs behind Aeterna Lucis announced that the game was being pushed back from a planned September launch to sometime in 2026, partly because of Silksong and partly because they lack all the dev kits needed for a release on “next-gen” platforms.

“Our initial plan was to launch [Aeterna Lucis] this September,” said the devs in a statement. “But after the announcement of Silksong, we are fully aware that our game wouldn’t have the visibility it deserves. Competing with a phenomenon of that scale would not only be unfair to our team’s effort, but also to you, the community, who expect to experience this adventure under the best possible conditions.”

Keeper, Double Fine’s next game, looks great! It comes after a big gap following the company’s last game, Psychonauts 2. If you’re worried that, after Keeper‘s release, you’ll be waiting a while again for more Double Fine goodness, take heart: the studio’s founder and boss, Tim Schafer, says that Double Fine is working on multiple projects at the moment. But, if you were hoping for a Brutal Legend 2 or Psychonauts 3, well, I’m sorry to say that ain’t happening anytime soon.
“I’m working on other stuff,” Schafer told IGN. “The studio is doing multiple projects right now and they’re all original IPs, because we did Psychonauts 2 and that will hold us for sequels for a while.”

I don’t have much to add to this other than that we live in a very strange world.
Entertainment news Celebrity gossip Movie and TV show updates Latest celebrity news Trending entertainment stories Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is ditching campaign difficulty levels
The latest Call of Duty is making some big changes to the series’ handling of campaigns. Black Ops 7‘s will support co-op, and there will be a rogue-like endgame included with it. Another big change? Black Ops 7 won’t feature the franchise’s usual difficulty levels, like Veteran or Hardened. Instead, as developers, Treyarch explained to IGN, the studio is using co-op to balance the game. The more players you include in the action, the harder things get. It’s an interesting change, though I wonder how more casual players hopping in to play with a friend might handle getting their ass kicked over and over again and having no way to make things easier.
