Toymaker Mattel launches a new game studio with a focus on Roblox and Fortnite that could signal a growing shift in where studios spend money

Mattel has established Mattel Game Studios, a new division focused on creating original interactive experiences based on its brands, moving away from traditional gaming methods. This initiative follows the company's acquisition of Mattel163, which was previously a joint venture with NetEase that published mobile digital card games. While continuing to develop mobile games, Mattel is also exploring platforms like Roblox and Fortnite, reflecting the changing gaming landscape where Roblox players logged over 10 billion hours monthly in 2025. Mattel's strategy is more focused and less reliant on traditional gaming investments, aiming to engage younger audiences. The success of this approach could encourage other companies to explore non-traditional gaming platforms.

Buckshot Roulette is an indie strategy horror game created by Mike Klubnika, featuring a 12-gauge shotgun in a twist on Russian roulette. The game allows players to use consumable items that modify the shotgun's performance. A recent update introduced peer-to-peer multiplayer support for up to four players, enhancing the gameplay experience. The game was launched in late 2023 and challenges players to take turns firing a shotgun loaded with live and blank shells. Players must avoid being hit while trying to hit their opponents, adding suspense to each round. Buckshot Roulette is currently available on Steam for a discounted price of .54 until November 4. The developers are addressing bugs in the multiplayer mode and welcome player feedback through their Discord channel.
