Over the weekend, Blizzard announced Diablo V for 2029 and a StarCraft shooter for 2030.
For today's Game File, I checked for other games that are announced for 2029 or beyond.
I found one on Steam listed for the year 20,000. (And just wishlisted it!)

Wolverine ran really well when I played it for review. But it glitched once, quite beautifully
Made me nostalgic for the black-and-white/color interplay of 2009's The Saboteur https://t.co/G5WWaVrtXN

Assuming Nintendo doesn't release any more Switch 1 games (reminder: they didn't announce last week)...
...then Nintendo releases for the system will have spanned 3,408 days--from Breath of the Wild to Rhythm Heaven Groove
- A bit longer than SNES and Game Boy
- Less than NES

Nintendo hasn't announced a new Nintendo-developed/published game for Switch 1 since March 2025
The most recent release: July's Rhythm Heaven Groove
I wrote about the possible end of an era (and broke down Nintendo's final games for its other systems)

@stephentotilo No shit, Wolverine is immortal—basic stuff, for fuck's sake.

REVIEW: Marvel's Wolverine is a fine, if familiar brawler, featuring a hero that doesn't give its studio much to work with (he's great at killing and not dying, just like so many other gaming heroes)
But... it's also a love story. And a good one at that

I thought it might be fun to spend some of the soft launch checking out old interviews and sharing what I re-discover.
Like this tape I found from 2004. Stay tuned… and thank you to everyone who has supported my work! https://t.co/vksGrwIHGD

The final Axios Gaming newsletter will be sent on Monday, Dec. 18. But if you sign up for Game File, it’ll feel like it’s continuing right on (with some tweaks). I plan to also still occasionally contribute to Axios. Elsewhere as well.

Game File is soft launching on S*bstack now, with articles and newsletters rolling out in January.
You can pay today, but no paywall until Feb. Even then, some of it will be free. This will be my main thing, so any support (free or paid) will be huge

I’m excited (and a little nervous) about this next step, but I’m as hungry as ever to give you the best coverage of the culture and business of games that I can. There are so many stories I’m eager to write.

It’s been a thrill to build games coverage at @axios alongside an amazing team of reporters, illustrators, data viz journalists, copy editors and supportive leaders. (A special thank you to @Megan_Nicolett)

-deep breath-
I’m going independent!
After a career of covering video games for MTV News, Kotaku and Axios, I’m launching Game File, a reader-supported site and newsletter for my reporting about video games.
