Spelunky 2 on PC won’t have online multiplayer at launch, according to a Steam update today. However, the developer writes, “On the plus side, that will give us time to keep improving the online before you try it, as well as implement cross-platform play between Steam and PS4.”

During today’s Tokyo Game Show stream, Capcom said it was “looking into” bringing Resident Evil Village to PS4 and Xbox One. Previously, the game was only announced for next-gen hardware and PC. Capcom said, however, it cannot yet make any promises the game will get a current-gen console release. 

The last season of Attack on Titan begins airing on December 6 in Japan. The show debuted in 2013 with animation duties handled by Wit Studio. The last season will be from Mappa.
