    I just can't believe Kena is finally here. One of my local GameStops has had a case on the pre-order shelf for seriously over two years, we've made so many jokes about it never coming out for years. I'm going to feel so empty going there now.

    I can't believe it only appeared on the digital store a week before release. Been in love with it since the first trailer before launch on PlayStation 😍

    Did we ever get confirmation on whether Hunt was actually an entirely new release with a new achievement list or if it was just an update replacing the existing version?

    It looks so awesome, I'd love to play it day one but I still have about seventeen years of NBA 2K left to grind out 😕

    I'm jealous I couldn't be one of the first 60-odd people 😢 but I've got time off and have told anyone relevant that I will not be disturbed, short of someone dying. Even then, I may just consider it one less human 🤷‍♂️

    EDIT: Also for anyone reading, be aware of time as well as date. For UK it releases 15/08 at 0800, so get a good night sleep

    I'm looking for this too. Inclined to say the latter.

    There was a Castaway game years ago on Kongregate, I wondered for a moment if this was related. I don’t think so, but weird hidden memory unlocked lol

    What happened to the mortuary assistant?
    Still waiting on this too. From what I can gather through Twitter, it is still waiting in Xbox's approval process (or whatever they call it), which is damned annoying. Especially since it released on PS5 and Switch.
    Thanks for the update, I've been waiting for this one, too.
    I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism...SPACE!

    When I was a starving undergrad working in the food service industry, all I wanted to do while at work was go home and play video games. Now, I play video games to simulate working in the food service industry. What a strange thing this human mind is.
    That has a deep meaning tbh.

    Or like the one horrible summer I spent in high school working on a farm. Now Stardew Valley's like the greatest game ever made.

    Few games I'll pick up there - Kena, Sam and Max and Whiteday 2.

    Hopefully we get something on Mortuary Assistant this week too.

    From what I've been able to find it sounds like Crytek is renaming the game to 'Hunt Showdown 1896' and doing a new event in game. I feel it will be the same achievement list, they've done events like this in the past with no new achievements. But I can't confirm 100% what will happen.

    I can’t be the only one that immediately thought of links awakening when seeing castaway laugh

    Probably going to get Kena. I enjoyed the hidden in time game, fun to zone out into. Mini golf maybe

    Cricket: Jae's Really Peculiar Game reminds me of Costume Quest. So, that looks interesting.

    White Day 2 looks interesting too.
