* In not so surprising news Age of Empires 4 might be coming to an Xbox console near you. Jordan Middler with VGC reports that the game’s code name, “Cardinal” was spotted by Twitter user Alumia_Italia on the Insider Hub on the Xbox version of the platform. A port of the game has not been confirmed but with the success of Microsoft Flight Simulator coming to the Xbox Series X last year it wouldn’t be surprising to see it happen, though playing strategy games on a controller is a lot less enjoyable than flying a plane on a controller.

* Matt Purslow with IGN reports that Take Two has entered into an agreement to purchase mobile game developer Zynga for a staggering and record breaking 12.7 billion dollars. This would be an even bigger dollar amount than the previously record breaking amount that Microsoft paid for Zenimax, parent company of Bethesda, ID Software, MachineGames, among others. This is what Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two, had to say about the purchase, ““We are thrilled to announce our transformative transaction with Zynga, which significantly diversifies our business and establishes our leadership position in mobile, the fastest growing segment of the interactive entertainment industry,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. “This strategic combination brings together our best-in-class console and PC franchises, with a market-leading, diversified mobile publishing platform that has a rich history of innovation and creativity.”

* If you haven’t heard already, Dying Light 2 will take at least 500 hours to fully complete. Adam Bankrupts with IGN reports that the main story will take roughly 70-80 hours to complete. This is what Techland said on the official Dying Light Twitter account, “To fully complete Dying Light 2 Stay Human, you’ll need at least 500 hours—almost as long as it would take to walk from Warsaw to Madrid!” In a Twitter post from yesterday to clarify how much time it will take to beat the game, they said it would take about 20 hours to complete the main story, 80 hours to finish the main story and all of the side quests, and about 500 hours to complete max out the game, which includes all main and side quests, choices and endings, checking every place on the map, every dialogue and finding every collectible. In comparison the original Dying Light takes roughly 17.5 hours to complete, 35 hours for main story and extras, and about 55 hours for a completionist run.
