And also: the new guests of Fortnight, the mythical arcade frog arrives on TV and another free game for the days of the Corona
How does a frog?
Remember the Frogger arcade game from the early 1980s?
The one that should help the frog cross the road, and then the river, try not to be run over or drown, and finally meet the frog of your dreams waiting for you in the swamp?
So make it ... no, not a movie, but an intense "ninja" style TV show.
Only this time, the obstacle courses will be inspired by Frogger and other classic games yet to be unveiled, and the creators even promise puzzles that will challenge contestants' thinking abilities and not just challenges that will require them to jump, as frogs are known as intelligent animals.
A first season of 13 shows has already been commissioned by the NBC network's new streaming platform Peacock, and numbers that the "massive cash prizes" awarded to the winners will leave the losers green with envy.
World peace now
Sony is developing its first Xbox game, and since it is expected to come out on April 20 and not on the first of the month, this is really not a hoax.
This is MLB The Show 21, the annual edition of Sony's baseball game, which will be released for the first time this year not only for the PlayStation, but also for Microsoft's competing platform (!).
Although this is a brand that is strong especially in North America as it is based on the leading baseball league in the US and Canada and not a global blockbuster, a piece of history is still being made here that gives hope to humanity. If the consular world's two bitter rivals succeed, we can all.
Who wants a free game?
And more about Sony: the company is chapping its gaming audience with a completely free game, regardless of the PlayStation Plus service.
Ratchet & Clank, the excellent action-adventure title from 2016, is available from March 1 for free download or commitment from the PlayStation Store.
If you have not yet experienced it - this is the time.
Sony is giving away the game as a gift as part of the Play at Home campaign, which generally thanks its loyal audience, which sits at home because of the Corona (last year the company presented the renewed Uncharted trilogy and the Journey adventure game).
No complaints.
Battle Royale in space
Another week, more special guests at Fortnight.
And this time: "The Eighth Passenger" and Alan Ripley are making their way to the free action game, but if you want to play them, you'll have to pay for the skins, because that's the whole idea.
In addition to the murderous alien and the fighting character of Sigourney Weaver, there are also weapons and a new glider, emoticons that will not see you use them in an old backpack with the cat Jonzi, who no doubt steals the show, because cats always steal the show.
