Sea of Stars, многообещающая ретро-ролевая игра от Sabotage Studio (и наша главная статья в этом месяце), выходит на консолях Xbox. До сих пор игра была запланирована только для PlayStation, Switch и ПК.
Ролевой приквел The Messenger выходит на Xbox Series X/S и Xbox One 29 августа вместе с другими версиями. Об этом разработчик сообщил на своей странице Kickstarter, написав:
«С самого начала мы втайне надеялись, что сможем охватить все консоли текущего и предыдущего поколения. Поскольку производство представляет собой мир кривых шаров, нам пришлось оставить обмен сообщениями на «ПК и консоли», чтобы избежать необходимости возвращаться к некоторым вещам. С большими неизвестными, которые теперь видны сзади, мы рады, наконец, подтвердить добавление Xbox к вечеринке!»
Кроме того, Sabotage сообщил, что игровая демоверсия Sea of Stars, доступная в настоящее время только на Switch, появится на других платформах в конце этого года.

What factors motivated Tracey Spicer to take a year-long break from her career and travel the world?
When I started working in journalism in 2014, one of the most famous female journalists in Australia, Tracey Spicer, was planning to take a year-long break from her career. She decided to do something completely different: travel the world and raise awareness about issues overlooked by the media. The idea had struck a chord with Spicer’s professional peers and the wider public.
I never expected that, six years later in 2020, I’d find myself taking a leaf out of Spicer’s book – but here I am.
Like many people, COVID-19 derailed my career. As the pandemic spread and governments across the world took increasingly drastic measures in an effort to contain it, my plans to expand upon my skillset kept getting pushed back. Suddenly remote study was the only option and international opportunities to build experience were no longer feasible.
It’s been a hard pill to swallow – particularly as a newly graduated journalist in a media landscape that was already struggling to keep up with the rapid pace of change. But instead of wallowing in my disappointment and waiting for the ‘right’ opportunity to come along, I decided to take a cue from Spicer and use this unique time in history to take an adventure of my own.
So why not take a break? Why not take the time to travel, challenge myself and gain new perspective?
For me, it’s an opportunity to get off the beaten path, to explore different cultures, to learn something new and to improve my communication and writing skills. And in the process, I hope to uncover stories that haven’t been told before.
But most of all, this break is a chance for me to invest in my mental health. In the wake of COVID-19, working remotely can feel isolating and lonely – it’s hard to feel connected and engaged. Traveling allows me to stay active and make meaningful connections, even if that’s through stories or services.
It’s an opportunity to absorb a different way of life and to gain a new appreciation for the things I currently take for granted.
What Tracey Spicer did for me back in 2014 was provide a role model – someone who wasn’t afraid to take a risk and put her career on hold to take on a different kind of challenge.
And now, a few years on and with a pandemic thrown into the mix, I’m taking the plunge, too. And I’m excited to see where this journey takes me.
