"Will The Pokémon Company ever get a handle on insatiable demand for new cards? We're almost certainly getting Nioh 4 now. And Ubisoft just can't catch a break. It's the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku's daily roundup of gaming news, rumors, and culture. It's back after a brief two-day hiatus. It's been a busy week! We're still trying to find Tuvok's lungs."
"500 staff at Ubisoft's Montpellier had to leave the office on February 19 after a bomb threat was sent to the local police station, Midi Libre reports. The email claimed there was an explosive device at the studio where developers have been working on Beyond Good and Evil 2 and a new Rayman game. Dozens of police responded, created a perimeter around the building, and searched for anything suspicious-looking but ultimately couldn't find anything."
Insatiable demand for new Pokémon trading cards continues to strain availability, prompting the Pokémon Company to acquire a U.S. distributor to better support fans and the trading card ecosystem. The company emphasized long-term commitment and trust in Excell Brands' distribution expertise. Ubisoft's Montpellier studio was evacuated after a bomb threat forced 500 staff to leave and prompted a police search that found nothing. Ubisoft faces internal frustration over job cuts and a return-to-office policy alongside external harassment and online rants. Nioh 4 appears imminent, and other major franchises and projects remain in development. A nostalgic note recalls past live-action video game commercials.
