With Merceron’s extensive background in developing football games, including the acclaimed Metal Gear Solid 5, expectations are high for this fresh take on the beloved franchise.

In a significant shift for players, Respawn has announced that the Nintendo Switch version of Apex Legends will be shutting down this summer, with the final update arriving in Season 29. This change means that players will need to transition to the upcoming Switch 2 version to continue enjoying the game and retain their in-game currency. As of August 4, 2026, the current version will no longer be playable, marking a pivotal moment for the game’s community on the platform.

In a bold move that merges two iconic gaming genres, the upcoming Steam title “Blocks for Babies” combines the frantic first-person shooter mechanics of DOOM with the classic puzzle gameplay of Tetris. Developed by indie studio BunkSoft Interactive, this game aims to evoke nostalgia while offering a fresh twist on familiar concepts. Players will not only stack blocks but also blast them away with a shotgun, creating a unique gaming experience that stands out in the crowded indie game market.
