Former Overwatch boss Jeff Kaplan tells online critics to quiet down during a livestream for his new game, Resident Evil Requiem hits a franchise sales milestone, and LEGO Batman moves its release date up.
Jeff Kaplan has never been one to mince words, and his latest public appearance proves he is keeping that energy. During a massive ten-hour livestream to showcase his brand new survival project, The Legend of California, the former Overwatch boss delivered a blunt message to online critics. Addressing players who spend their time complaining about titles they have no intention of playing, Kaplan kept it simple with a direct instruction to quiet down because nobody cares. The upcoming first-person survival game, set against the backdrop of the California Gold Rush, is clearly drawing a passionate response, but Kaplan is drawing an equally hard line against internet noise. IGN South Africa covered the full details in their recent Daily Fix report.
While Kaplan stirs up conversation on the survival front, Capcom is celebrating massive commercial milestones elsewhere in the industry. Resident Evil Requiem has officially become the fastest-selling entry in the entire horror franchise, pulling in a staggering six million copies sold since launching in late February. It is a massive win for Capcom, proving that players are still hungry for polished, high-tension single-player horror experiences across modern hardware platforms.
Meanwhile, the ongoing release calendar shuffle continues to create unexpected openings for other studios. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight just had its launch date moved up from May 29 to May 22. That specific late May window originally belonged to Grand Theft Auto 6 before its recent delay pushed it deeper into the year, leaving plenty of room for the Caped Crusader to claim some early summer attention.
