Gold
No Man's Sky achieved a major development milestone this week. Hello Games completed development on the project, meaning it's now "gone gold." The game launches in August for PlayStation 4 and PC. [Full story]
Deep Dive
The English translation of a recent Nintendo investor Q&A went up this week, and it's a fascinating read. It dives deep into the company's direction and more. Read it here.
A Rare Look

Coming Soon

Shaping Up

"Poise"

A Peek Into the Future?
A newly discovered patent from Nintendo is for a single-screen portable handset. Mhmm. Interesting. It doesn't necessarily mean the NX will use it, as many patents never amount to anything, but it's interesting to think about all the same. Get the details here at NintendoLife.
Cracked?
Hackers this week claimed to have cracked Denuvo, the DRM tool that many big-game games, such as Rise of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 3, use to thwart piracy. Get the full story here at MCV.
Sold!
The developer behind Marvel Avengers Academy and Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff has been sold to SGN. For those unaware, SGN itself is an LA-based mobile game developer run by MySpace cofounder and former CEO Chris DeWolfe. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Get all the details here.
Head of Content
The Ubisoft Blog has a cool interview up with Aymar Azaizia, the head of content for Assassin's Creed. It's a big job, he explains, covering lots and lots of different things. Curious as to what the "head of content for Assassin's Creed" does? Read the interview.
Wow
Someone beat Fallout 4 without taking a single hit. You can get all the details about this pretty incredible story here at Kotaku.
Destiny Goes 2D
To celebrate Bungie Day this week (7/7) one talented and committed fan released a 2D version of Destiny that they'd been working on for a while. It looks quite cool. You can download it for yourself on PC right now. Get all the details here on Reddit.
