Meta has a new name for its publishing arm that supports VR developers: Oculus Publishing.
Not the most exciting name, but it’s one we might need to get familiar with. Meta says Oculus Publishing currently has 150 titles in “active development.”
The game was removed from Steam sometime on Wednesday, and MSCHF says Valve yanked it “without explanation.” We’ve asked Valve for comment and updated our article. The game is still set to launch on April 4th, but it seems like you won’t be able to get it from Steam.
The company posted a vague teaser of its new AI development tools and a link to sign up for the beta program. Speaking to Reuters, CEO John Riccitiello teased what might be possible:
“In every video game in history, the dialogue was written by somebody,” Riccitiello said in an interview on Tuesday. “But now what you can do with (generative AI) is give these characters motivation, personality, and objectives and then they can spawn dialogue that doesn’t require a writer.”
Hey, that sounds a little bit like Ubisoft’s new AI-powered “Ghostwriter!” Roblox is working on some AI tools for developers, too.
Ha ha ha vampire joke... but seriously, after reading Polygon’s new preview of Arkane’s vampire-filled shooter, I’ll be counting the days until its May 2nd release date. (Though I’ll have to beat it fast, because Tears of the Kingdom launches just 10 days later.)
