No Man's Sky Swarm update kicks off galaxy-spanning war with Splatoon-style faction clash

No Man's Sky's Swarm update introduces a universe-threatening Hive of Glass and large-scale battles with hundreds of drone ships. The event is described as an Expedition and uses a Splatoon-like personality test to split players into three factions, who must cooperate to push back the invaders. Rewards include new armor, a jetpack, and a rifle, with the most successful faction memorialized in the Space Anomaly. Patch notes are on Hello Games' site, and this marks the third update of the year ahead of the game's tenth anniversary in August.

"Lonely but Not Alone: The Last Splatoon Player Survives in Dead Nintendo Servers with Amiibo Companionship"

Following the shutdown of Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS servers, one dedicated Splatoon player remains active on the Wii U, playing through an emulator on a Steam Deck. Despite feeling lonely, the player continues to post map rotations and has no intention of logging off, even though the servers have officially closed. Other players have also expressed their determination to keep playing, with one advising against resetting the Wii U as the game servers are still active for many.

"Fans Rally to Keep Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS Games Online Despite Server Shutdown"

Nintendo has shut down online services for 3DS and Wii U, but fans have managed to keep their favorite games online by leaving their systems on, defying the planned shutdown. The Splatoon community rallied together to keep the game alive, while 3DS Pokemon players also found themselves inexplicably managing to complete online trades for hours longer than expected. Despite some players being forcibly removed, the community's determination to hang on until the very end is evident, although all good things must eventually come to an end. Online functionality is still available on Nintendo Switch.

"Is Foamstars the Next Rocket League? A Review of the Colorful, Free PS Plus Game"

IGN's review in progress of Foamstars describes it as a fun competitive shooter with a strong foundation and creative twists, reminiscent of Splatoon, but surrounded by red flags such as bad voice performances, expensive cosmetic packs, and multiplayer restrictions. The game features unique foam mechanics and diverse characters, but its reliance on outdated multiplayer structure and frustrating monetization practices raise concerns. Despite these issues, the reviewer is looking forward to diving back into the fun competitive shooter after further exploration of its modes.

"Square Enix Addresses Foamstars-Splatoon Comparison and AI Art Controversy in 2024 Kickoff"

Square Enix's upcoming game Foamstars is being compared to Splatoon, but producer Kosuke Okatani insists they are "completely different games" despite surface similarities. The game, set to launch on February 6 exclusively for PlayStation 4 and 5, has received backlash for using AI-generated art, created with the controversial AI tool Midjourney, for in-game album covers. This move comes as Square Enix aims to aggressively apply AI and other cutting-edge technologies to its content development and publishing functions.

"Square Enix's Foamstars: AI Assets, Controversy, and Final Preview"

Square Enix's upcoming online shooter, Foamstars, has been compared to Nintendo's Splatoon, but the producer insists it's a unique game. The game's success will depend on building a strong player base, and Square Enix plans to launch it as a free game for one month on PS Plus to rapidly build a community. The company hopes this strategy will help differentiate Foamstars and attract players beyond the initial launch.
