Compared to yesterday, today has been lighter in terms of video game news, but there’s still much to discuss! Aside from the absolutely stunning Demon’s Souls remake footage that was shown, Sony published interesting stats about Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has a new release date, the Uncharted movie has finally wrapped filming, and more. Here’s the video game news you might’ve missed on Oct. 29, 2020.
Sony Shares Stats About Ghost of Tsushima: Legends
Today, Sony released some interesting data about Sucker Punch Productions’ multiplayer expansion, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. Specifically, nearly 12 million Legends Mode missions have been played, 141 million Oni have been defeated, over 22 million Spirit Dogs have been summoned, and 1.3 billion enemies have been eliminated. It was also revealed that the most popular class is the Assassin, with 30% of players choosing it over the others. Given these stats, it’s safe to say Legends is a hit.
22.7 million Spirit Dogs summoned so far = 22.7 million dogs petted, right?

Path of Exile Patch Delayed Due to Cyberpunk 2077’s New Launch Date
It’s not unusual for games to be pushed back to avoid other popular titles, but it is odd to see a publisher outright admit it publicly. Today, publisher Grinding Gear Games announced via Twitter that Path of Exile‘s 3.13 expansion has been delayed to January 2021 to avoid running into Cyberpunk 2077. You’ll recall that Cyberpunk 2077 was recently delayed to Dec. 10 and is one of the most highly anticipated games of the year.
We were previously targeting a launch date of December 11 for our 3.13 expansion. Yesterday, CD Projekt Red announced that Cyberpunk 2077 will now be released on December 10. We have decided to delay the release of Path of Exile 3.13 until January.https://t.co/Jw7PXnd4Bf pic.twitter.com/sL3npV4eH6

Check Out the Launch Trailer for The Dark Pictures: Little Hope
In celebration of the game’s launch, publisher Bandai Namco released a trailer for Supermassive Games’ The Dark Pictures: Little Hope, showing off some of its characters and its overall tone. Based on media reactions, Little Hope has been reviewing much better than its predecessor, Man of Medan. Little Hope is part of The Dark Pictures Anthology, a series that plays very much like predecessor Until Dawn, and is a narrative-driven, choice-based adventure. Little Hope will launch for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One tomorrow, Oct. 30.
The Uncharted Movie Has Finished Filming
Finally, after being in development hell for the better part of a decade, the Uncharted movie has wrapped up filming. This news comes by way of the film’s official Twitter account, in which an image was posted with the caption “Sic Parvis Magna. That’s a wrap on (the Uncharted movie).” The film was originally supposed to hit theaters this December but was pushed back to July 16, 2021. It stars Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg as Nathan Drake and Sully respectively, and Ruben Fleischer is director.
