Sony's catalog crisis, PS6 uncertainty, and a Diablo 4 Switch 2 date

A PS5 developer has come forward to say Sony is removing their catalog from sale without explanation — and a separate report adds more detail, naming Stonks-9800 developer whose publisher agreement was terminated without warning, with 14 titles set to disappear within days. The situation lands at an awkward moment for Sony: the company's CEO has confirmed no release date has been chosen for the PlayStation 6, citing an ongoing RAM crisis, while a new 'It Happens on PS5' ad is generating the kind of reception the company probably didn't want.

Diablo 4 is reportedly coming to Nintendo Switch 2 very soon — days after BlizzCon, according to sources — and will include both expansions. Nintendo is also stoking interest in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave with a new trailer that teases a significant story twist. A Minecraft snapshot, meanwhile, is giving server owners the ability to extend view distances considerably. And Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 crossovers have been confirmed to include Persona 5 and Kingdom Hearts.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continues to generate post-launch discussion: a former PlayStation executive reportedly advised the studio not to market it as a turn-based RPG, warning the label could cost it players. Insomniac's community lead is pushing back against what they describe as algorithmically amplified negativity around Marvel's Wolverine. Rock Paper Shotgun's review of Mortal Shell 2 lands positively, calling it a monumental sequel. And Battlefield 6's Top Gun collaboration has surprised at least one writer enough to argue its Carrier Strike mode deserves to stay permanently.
