    Bad Robot’s big new game is kind of giving me Returnal vibes.

    Sony will be publishing it, and thanks to a new trailer, now we can get a sense of 4 Loop’s co-operative, roguelike-y gameplay. The team is led by Left 4 Dead designer Mike Booth, so I’m optimistic that it will be a good multiplayer game. You can sign up for playtests now.

    PlayStation’s next big State of Play is about to begin.

    PlayStation, like other big publishers, has been leaning more into games that follow proven formulas, but I’m hoping we’ll see a few announcements that come out of left field.

    The show starts at 2PM ET and is set to last for more than an hour. We’ll be covering it live.

    Where is the Steam Deck OLED?

    It’s out of stock in the US and in parts of Asia, as reported by Windows Central. We reached out to Valve this morning to ask about it, but didn’t get a reply.

    Wonder if it’s partly due to the component supply shortages that will affect the price of the Steam Machine.

    Russia has blocked WhatsApp.

    “Trying to isolate over 100mn people from private and secure communication is a backwards step and can only lead to less safety for people in Russia,” WhatsApp says a statement to the Financial Times.

    The block follows Telegram reportedly being restricted in the country.
