Video Summary - Анонс League of Legends Classic, подробности DLC для Dragon’s Dogma 2, Star Wars Eclipse

Storyline / Setting (as discussed)

League of Legends Classic (planned mode):
- Set back to an earlier era of Summoner’s Rift.
- The exact “classic” version (season/patch timeframe) is not finalized yet.
Clutch (game shown in a gameplay livestream):
- 15 years before the main story: orphan kids struggle in foster families; a rebellious teen steals a car and escapes.
- Control is granted at that moment, followed by time jumps showing how car races and tracks evolve.
- After a fatal accident at a competition, organizers introduce electronic car assistants.
- Racers dislike the change and form an underground league (the player joins it).
- Tactical driving supports chases within the underground scene:
  - Turn signals
  - High beams (e.g., blinding pursuers)
Dragon’s Dogma 2 – Dark Horizon expansion:
- A separate story set in Nagan, a snowy northern region.
- The hero teams up with Eir to uncover the secret behind the immortal fallen dragon.

Early version described as a spiritual successor to Titanfall.
Features dynamic 6v6 mech shootouts.
Community reception signals:
- Criticism: monotony, small content amount, and poor balance
- Praise: pleasant controls and surprisingly good optimization
Developers are said to listen to the community.
Target: full release in ~1 year.
Platforms mentioned: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series.

Announced engine upgrade with an explicit promise of no graphics change.
Planned technical changes:
- Move to 64-bit architecture to reduce crashes from memory limits
- Switch DirectX 9 → DirectX 11
- Reduce required storage to about 32 GB and improve load times (especially on SSD)
Testing window:
- First Steam tests start “tomorrow” and run until the end of July
Player notes:
- New bugs may appear
- Some older mods may stop working, but devs will help with mod fixes

Reports say 115+ employees will be cut at Quantic Dream.
Employees staged a strike against the layoffs and in defense of Star Wars Eclipse.
Claim: the project won’t survive as planned without additional staffing (even the “ideal” scenario requires more developers).
A Lucasfilm Games visit reportedly occurred to assess production progress.

CEO Hideaki Nishina (SIE) says Sony will continue investing and experimenting with service approaches, arguing the genre is still young.
This is contrasted with many Sony service attempts that reportedly get cancelled or “evaporate.”

Core loop: racing and chases across multiple time periods and track settings.
Tactical driving features:
- Turn signals
- High beams to hit/disable pursuers or blind them during chases
Audio:
- Original soundtrack plus licensed music
Release target: Spring 2027 on PS5 and Xbox Series X

Tim Sweeney criticizes EGS (and/or industry) AI usage labeling requirements for games.
Argument: requirements about generated content may be harmful to studios and players’ perceptions.
