Gamescom Latam faces delays alongside smart game postponements | Microcast
The newest installment of the GamesIndustry.biz Microcast is now available for download, and you can also view the complete episode below.
This week, James shares insights from the inaugural Gamescom Latam, discussing the expansion of the Brazilian gaming industry and Gamescom's international reach.
We also talk about Don't Nod postponing their new IP, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, to avoid releasing it too close to the return of Life Is Strange, set for October. We examine past instances where games released simultaneously to the detriment of all involved and consider how smarter scheduling could prevent similar outcomes in the future.
Important: There were some technical challenges during recording, but we have made efforts to mitigate these issues.
