PUBG: Ded.Net is a new multiplayer FPS with roguelite progression… and also a very in-your-face vibe. I love PUBG, but this announcement trailer was a lot to take in. We’ll see if it’s as satisfying to play Ded.Net as it was to get a chicken dinner back in the day.

An art-themed game, anyway. Murals is an “isometric action-adventure” with a hand-painted style that really captures its messed-up fairy tale vibe. It’s set to launch in 2027.

One Piece: Grand Gourmet has you cooking and managing a restaurant with the help of the Straw Hats. I’m not caught up on all 1,000-plus episodes of One Piece, but I think Sanji will forgive me. It’ll be available on the Switch and Switch 2 on October 23rd.
By my math, we’re at four (4) puppet or puppet-adjacent appearances so far in the show: Studio MDHR, Billy the Puppet from Saw, the Among Us mascots, and then Capcom action figures. We’ve known Geoff likes puppets, but I’m excited at just how much he’s committed to it this year.
