Tease is certain the word for the Tweet developer Playdead sent out the other day.
Playdead brought us the creepy and atmospheric platformers Limbo and INSIDE, and now it seems they are hard at work on their next game. All we know so far it what we can see in the image, so very little, but as we learn more we’ll be sure to let you all know.
The official Mass Effect Andromeda Twitter have sent out a tweet replying to Twitter user @N7Follower confirming that the BioWare space RPG will be coming to Xbox One’s EA Early Access on March 16th.
This came as a bit of a surprise, as originally it seemed it would hit Early Access only a couple of days before release, but it looks like EA Access subscribers will get to enjoy 10 hours of the hotly anticipated title eight days before it hits shelves, with all save progress carried over if you buy the full game.
A feature previously believed to be reserved for the new Elite controller, button mapping, is set to be available for all controllers soon.
Mike Ybarra, Partner Director of Program Management, Xbox and Windows Platform at Microsoft, replied to a tweet asking him why button mapping was reserved to just the Elite controller, with confirmation that the feature will be coming to all.

Most attempts fell flat, Planetside 2 in particular; given their own troubles, yet one developer has managed to find the balance that keeps it firmly in the tongue in cheek satire department. Techland’s #DrinkforDLC twitter campaign went down so well with gamers when they opened the campaign on Wednesday, that they have now decided to take a poke at another community gripe, as it appears they are now ripping on Sony’s recent decision to Crowd-fund Shenmue 3, even though it appears they intended to finance its development.
The #DrinkforDLC campaign now has added stretch goals for further free content, and they have also thrown a docket code in for good measure.
