Overwatch's next hero might carry twin pistols and has a quick dash, but she's no Tracer. Tomorrow, when Shion makes her debut, Overwatch will have a hero who fights like a Devil May Cry character.
In fact, the character action game series was so much of an inspiration that Blizzard originally gave Shion a Devil May Cry-esque style rank meter to measure your moves.

Just days after signalling that large-scale layoffs at Xbox are imminent as part of its ongoing overhaul, Microsoft's gaming division is reportedly planning to shutter Compulsion Games, the award-winning studio behind South of Midnight and We Happy Few (via Kotaku).
Update: According to reporting by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, Compulsion and Psychonauts developer Double Fine are both "in active negotiations to spin off as they try to thwart closure." Ninja Theory and "several other studios across the portfolio" are also potentially at risk of closure.

Today marks the beginning of Steam Next Fest, the thrice-yearly, week-long smorgasbord of delectable demos served up by game creators of all sizes as samplers for their in-development delights. And unsurprisingly, as the Steam catalog adds tens of thousands of games every year, that translates into a lot of demos.
To be precise: This season's Next Fest is, at time of writing, featuring 4,347 demos. And that number will increase throughout the week.
