"Good morning! I hope you enjoyed a lot of turkey. I did. I celebrated two Thanksgivings. Double the fun, double the calories. Anyway, welcome back from holiday break, and let's get right into Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku's daily round-up of gaming news and other stuff you might care about. And please, nobody mention turkey. I'm done with it until next year."
"Zootopia 2 hit theaters over the holiday weekend, and it broke a whole bunch of records on its way to earning an impressive $556 million. As reported by Deadline, Disney's new animated sequel had the largest opening for an animated movie in history, was the fourth-biggest opening in movie history ever, and now also holds the record as Disney's biggest animated movie opening. And that's just some of the records it smashed."
"But right now, I think we need to get to the other side of this year and next year you'll get more news about Hitman co-op, because I think co-op is a really, really good extension to the universe, and will introduce very interesting mechanics and combinations in World of Assassination. But we will, after that, be talking about the next Hitman - because, of course, there's going to be a next Hitman."
Morning Checkpoint returns after holiday break, with the host noting two Thanksgiving celebrations and a pause on turkey talk until next year. IO Interactive is wrapping up 007: First Light, and CEO Hakan Abrak confirmed future Hitman projects, including a co-op extension in World of Assassination and a subsequent next mainline Hitman. Zootopia 2 opened to an estimated $556 million, achieving the largest animated opening ever, the fourth-biggest opening overall, and Disney's biggest animated movie opening. Sony opened fan voting for the 2025 PlayStation Blog Game of the Year Awards, with many nominees from Xbox-owned studios.
