Nighthawks has sold TEN THOUSAND copies in less than one week! For a tiny studio like ours, this is a huge milestone. To all the supporters, backers, wishlisters, and everyone who believed in this game and us, thank you so much.

Lux and Becca from Nighthawks, with the text "10,000 copies sold."

Games aren’t made by humans, they are just brands. They have no personality. No history. No feel. Just interchangeable brands with projected results. Xbox management is genius, no one else ever dared to lead with such bold brand vision. I mean anyone can make a halo

"The game is insanely well voiced, with every single character being able to pull you into even the most innocuous conversation with the personality on offer."

IT'S OUT! PLAY NIGHTHAWKS! I was lucky enough to do a bunch of testing a while back, and it is everything you could want out of a vampire game. @richardcobbett.bsky.social is an insanely talented writer, @threeohfour.bsky.social is a frankly overpowered artist. The VO is flawless- JUST PLAY IT!!!

You're all contractually obligated to read this comment Rob Paulsen made on a Tim Curry interview in 2025

Rob Paulsen - Voice Actor

I had the remarkable privilege to work with Tim a few dozen times.
Kind, generous, playful, naughty and a TOTAL pro. A couple years ago, at NY Comic Con, I was in the green room having lunch and Tim
came in in his chair. Of course, I was aware of his stroke, so l walked over knelt down and said, "Tim! It's Rob Paulsen. We
worked together on..." he looked me and said, "I know who you are,
you fucking wanker." It was like a blessing from the Pope. Utterly
unique. Unstoppable. A total star.

Here's a statement from OneBGS-CWA member Nathan Hahn on today's protest:

A statement that reads:

“We heard that Microsoft leadership was coming to our office this week, and decided to make our presence visible at the office to show how our developers have been impacted by these devastating layoffs.

To show our presence, we put up posters around the office, but we were immediately told by management we couldn't have posters facing the outside of our cubes. Then, we brought in balloons so that they could see we were here, but inside our cubes this time. A separate team of laid off developers planted flags outside, one flag for each laid off dev. Each flag was a public reminder of how many people management cut from our teams – not just our colleagues and coworkers, but our friends at the end of the day.

We're mobilising to fight back against these layoffs not just to ensure impacted XBOX devs and testers get treated fairly, but to remind our company and game studios everywhere that layoffs like this cannot continue. If Microsoft leadership does not have the courage to do what's right for our studios to make the best possible games, it's up to us to stand up for each other and protect the future of our careers and the game industry,” – Nathan Hahn, Technical Producer, OneBGS-CWA

NEW: CWA union members have inflated a giant rat and deployed a wall of red flags representing laid off Xbox workers outside the Bethesda office in Rockville. The protest was timed to coincide with a visit from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who is apparently at the studio today.

This is a thing every exec keeps talking about and it is driving me up the waaaaaallllllllllllllll. Yes, it’s the high salaries that are the problem, not the company leaders who slow teams down through poor decisionmaking and greenlight games that take a while to make.

It was also discussed on the Hasbro call that the company wants to focus development on “lower cost regions” with Montreal specifically called out, so it seems like Skeleton Key’s project is probably fine
