About a month ago, the story broke that the developers of Killer Instinct Double Helix had been bought by online shopping giant Amazon, leaving many fans wondering about the future of the still relatively fresh Xbox One fighter.

Mojang and 4J Studios are "really excited about the quality".
Minecraft is poised to descend on Xbox One, Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer has told IGN - poised like some immense meteorite, full of randomly generated cows, diamonds and lava. The exact date is up to 4J Studios and Mojang, not Microsoft, however.

Ubisoft's vice president of creative Lionel Raynaud has stuck up for the practice of releasing an Assassin's Creed every year, making the not-unreasonable observation that the publisher just wants to satisfy fan demand.
Xbox glasses announcement imminent?.

You can build a Snowdrop game in a day without code support, says tech director.
How much blood and sweat does it take to create a game as fancy as Tom Clancy's The Division, out this year for Xbox One? Well, at the risk of confusing you with my mastery of the jargon, I'd say the answer has to be: lots. An "insane" amount, in fact, according to Anders Holmquist, technical director for the game's Snowdrop Engine.
Deals will run from 28th to 30th March.
A quick reminder: the Xbox One versions of Thief, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and Call of Duty: Ghosts: Hardened Edition are on offer from today, 28th March, through 30th March - the first two will be 50% off, the latter 20% off.

Microsoft has unveiled the final design of the PC-compatible version of Xbox One's Kinect sensor, via the Kinect for Windows blog. In a dramatic twist, it looks a lot like the original.
Delay was to fix up the animations, apparently.
Heads up, Battlefield 4 Premium members! The game's delayed Naval Strike DLC finally has boots on the ground - welcome news indeed, given that it was recently tipped to roll out in early April. The download may take a while to become available in all territories, as ever.
Now searches for equally skilled players rather than "prioritizing speed over quality".
You there, Titanfall player. Tired of being matched against players who are generations above you, and losing because of it? Respawn hears you, and the developer is altering the way that players are matched against one another.
Puts the power of a city "in the palm of your hand", apparently.
Ubisoft has released a new trailer for Watch Dogs, its much-hyped, sadly delayed open world action extravaganza. If you have doubts about the project, this should help immensely: it reveals a city that's seemingly as intricate and dynamic as that of Grand Theft Auto 5.
Paging Dr Aoife!.
Is there room in your life for an eight-feet-tall robot with claws and a chest-mounted laser cannon? Then spread those arms wide for Fulgore, the latest Killer Instinct character. He'll be added as part of the game's next title update on 9th April, along with Arcade Mode and eight player lobbies.
Careful where you point that torch.
Suspense is all about the little things, and they don't come much littler than the rumble triggers inside Xbox One's controller. Well, they probably do actually. Killer plague microbes, for instance. But why worry about killer plague microbes, when there's a slimy bundle of jet-black hoover attachments stampeding towards you, hell-bent on tearing your ribcage in two?

Xbox One veteran sought to work with "existing codebase".
Here's your enigma for today: 343 Industries is in the market for a software development engineer to help "drive the future of Halo", a process that involves work with "external partners". Another hint, perhaps, that talk of a third-party developed Halo 2 Anniversary reboot is more than talk?
Why there will never be an Xbox 360 version.
Batman: Arkham Knight is Rocksteady's final and, we hope, greatest Arkham title, a game that will tie up many of the loose lore threads left dangling by Arkham Asylum and City. It's a bit of a shame, then, that owners of the previous titles won't be able to enjoy it on the same platform: the game is very firmly next gen (and PC) only.

Eager to hear about Epic's unannounced projects? Don't hold your breath, not unless your lungs happen to be the size of - oh, I don't know, let's say a Brumak. Or one of Augustus Cole's biceps.
