Sega says it made a ‘life-sized figure containing Sonic’s DNA,’ and I have a few questions

Sega is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog with various marketing initiatives, including exclusive merchandise and events. Highlights include limited edition fashion collaborations and a "musical odyssey" featuring live orchestral performances of Sonic soundtracks. A notable announcement is the "Sonic the Hedgehog DNA Figure," a life-sized statue claiming to contain "Sonic's DNA," developed in collaboration with the Lom Baby project from Transeeds. This figure uses "cutting-edge biotechnology" and symbolizes Sonic's core essence encapsulated within a Chaos Emerald. The exhibition for the DNA Figure will open on June 23 at the Tokyo Sega Store.

‘I try to play as a completionist and leave no stone unturned and no enemy unkilled’: Returnal director Harry Krueger talks Deus Ex, Resident Evil, and the arcade classic that inspired Housemarque’s best games

Pragmata’s developers take all your comparisons to Xbox 360 shooters as a ‘huge compliment’, though I’m not convinced by their theory for why players are making the connection

Pragmata has a resemblance to action games from the Xbox 360 and PS3 era, which the developers at Capcom, including director Yonghee Cho and producer Naoto Oyama, view positively. Oyama noted that the nostalgia may come from a time when many developers were experimenting with new game concepts. Pragmata offers a linear, single-player action experience, which is rare in today's gaming landscape, and is part of a trend this year with other successful titles like Resident Evil: Requiem and 007: First Light. The game features a unique combination of third-person shooting and hacking minigames, which has received positive feedback, particularly for its tile maze mechanic used in combat.

Subnautica 2’s botched bonus deal is about to wipe out more than one-third of Krafton’s $736 million annual profit for 2025

Krafton promised a substantial bonus to Unknown Worlds' principals—Ted Gill, Max McGuire, and Charlie Cleveland—following their acquisition in 2021, with a payout structure of .12 for every dollar earned once monthly revenues exceeded .8 million, capped at 0 million. Subnautica 2 sold four million copies in its first week and received a "very positive" rating on Steam. In 2025, Krafton dismissed the executives, alleging they rushed the game's release, but court proceedings revealed Krafton had approved their strategy. Krafton reported an operating profit of 1.1 trillion Korean won (approximately 6 million) for 2025, raising concerns that the bonus could consume over a third of its annual profits.
