Opinion: How will Project 2025 impact game developers?
The Heritage Foundation's manifesto for the possible next administration could do great harm to many, including large portions of the game development community.
Fantasy roguelike Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn has surpassed 500,000 players, according to publisher Kepler Interactive. Developed by A44 Games, the game released on July 18 for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S (retail and Game Pass).
Per Kepler, the game is also on the "Most Popular" lists for Xbox and PC Game Pass in "multiple regions." It's unclear how much its inclusion on the two services make up this milestone.
Likewise, its actual commercial performance and Kepler's expectations for it remain in the dark. However, the publisher has previously highlighted player counts for Sifu and Scorn prior to revealing the sales numbers for those games.
Last year, Microsoft accidentally leaked Xbox documents, some of which revealed how much is spent on securing Game Pass deals. Flintlock wasn't among those titles, but its "most popular" status raises questions about how Microsoft feels about its performance.
Flintlock's player count marks another win for Kepler as July winds down. Last week, it reported that Ironwood Studios' Pacific Drive had sold over 600,000 copies.
