EB Games Australia was going to host an Animal Crossing: New Horizons launch event at their Melbourne Swanston Street store this week, but that event is now called off. The Australian government made a request for there to be no mass gatherings, and obviously a midnight launch would fall into that description. Customers will have to pick up their game launch day during regular store hours.

Without a doubt, the original DOOM is one of the first games to popularize the Deathmatch multiplayer mode, which is still around to this day. DOOM 2016 included Deathmatch, but DOOM Eternal is excluding it for something different. Why was that decision made? Bethesda’s Pete Hines explains in an interview with Shacknews.

“The biggest problem we thought we had with Doom 2016 was that [multiplayer] wasn't done at id, and felt really disconnected from the base game that everybody loved. Whether you're playing by yourself or with others, we want it to feel like you're all playing the same game. That's as opposed to, ‘I'm a badass demon slayer in single-player, but when I go over to multiplayer, there are no demons, and it's just Deathmatch.’ I don't know what that has to do with [Doom] other than that, well, a couple of decades ago we had that, so we should just have that again. We don't want to do something just for the sake of doing it, or because something has always been a certain way.”

Nintendo has since made the decision to close up shop for the time being. Check out the full announcement of the store's closure below.

We all know that Mr. Resetti isn't handling his old job of yelling at players who decide to manipulate the Switch's internal clock when playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Blizzard has taken to Twitter to share the above tweet, and it has people thinking that a new Hero is on the way. I don't know my Overwatch lore, but those who are well versed in the game tend to think this tease is about Echo. According to Blizzard themselves, Echo is a "very important character and a large story is going to unfold that involves her." Certainly seems like Echo would be worthy of a Hero position!

In the last few years, there has been a lot of talk about game developer crunch. Devs pulling ridiculously long hours, making the final push to get a game out the door. In an interview with GameSpot, DOOM Eternal creative director Hugo Martin is asked about crunch at id Software. He gives a rather passionate and unique answer, which you can find below.

"It's not really crunch... this is going to sound hokey. It's like a lifestyle. I live and breathe this. No one makes me stay at the office. Even when I come home, I see my kids, I do my thing, and then I just do research. (I) engross myself in pop culture.
You have to ingest a ton of it, which means [this job] is 24/7. I get up really early; I try to do the exercise thing ... then I come home, send the kids to school. Then I have about two hours where the house is empty and I'll just play games."
