Warner Bros. Buys TT Games

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group has announced it is buying UK game studio TT Games for an undisclosed amount. Founded in 2005 from the merger of Traveller’s Tales and Giant Interactive Entertainment, TT Games was one of the largest remaining independent game studios, and is responsible for developing the Lego Star Wars games, Bionicle Heroes, and many other titles.

“TT Games is very successful and respected in the game development and publishing world,” said Warmer Bros. CEO and chairman Barry Meyer, in a statement. “They are a great fit for us and the right next step for Warner Bros. as we grow into a significant presence in the games space.”

TT Games holds worldwide rights to develop Lego-based video games, and has produced a number of titles, including Lego Star Wars,Lego Star Wars 2; The Original Trilogy, and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. The company is currently working with LucasArts to develop Lego Indiana Jones, and will be rolling out a Lego Batman title in 2008.

TT Games will continue to manage its relationships with Lego, LucasArts, and the Guineess Book of World Records, and will become the family-focussed foundation of Warner Bros. overall game strategy. Warner continues to work with studios like EA, Midway, Eidos, and Monolith Productions on other game properties, including the F.E.A.R. sequel Project Origin, and an upcoming Speed Racer game based on the planned Joel Silver feature film.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
