Avalanche Software

Hogwarts Legacy was where it's at.

Hogwarts Legacy 2 is officially an active development by Avalanche Software.

So there you go.

Okay, my kids will be going to boarding school when Hogwarts Legacy 2 comes out because I will no longer be able to take care of them because I will be a couch potato and I will play Hogwarts Legacy.

And you won't even believe it until you see it, and you got to sit there with him, and he's drawing, and you're like, okay, I'm done.

You know, I found, because I used to work for this company called Avalanche Software that was since bought out by Disney, I think.

And I just did it for two months.

I was a concept artist, or they were training me to be a concept artist.

I won it at a...

GameStop conference where I went to like I attended a class put on by Avalanche Software or THQ or whoever was publishing at that point where you know they're optional you can go in there and participate and learn about the product and if you learn about the product they'll reward you with like some kind of incentive.

and while I was there they were doing like trivia I forgot what the fucking trivia was to win a prize and the prize that I won was a leftover from that year's D23 that had happened like a month earlier and it was a D23 exclusive kingdom hearts outfit for mickey and it is the only kingdom hearts item that was ever made for disney infinity because there's weird stuff with square enix and disney rights for sora and king mickey and stuff so it was never able to be sold or put out but it was given away to d23 attendees and i think it was limited to like 500 discs of this actually exist and i still have it it's loose i opened it because i fucking used it and it's yeah But that was like part of my answer.

I got rid of anything.

...

the newly formed Paramount Game Studios will be combined with Warner Brothers Games' internal video game developers, which include Avalanche Software, so that-

Mm

... is, uh, the Hogwarts Legacy studio.

And it comes with the Buzz Lightyear Star Command game from the Sega Dreamcast for PS1.

And then Toy Story 3 is the Avalanche-developed Toy Story 3 game from 2010 that was for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii that was, of course, the precursor to my much-beloved and missed Disney Infinity.

So to see all these things brought forward, made super accessible, touched up, and put on modern hardware is super exciting to me because Toy Story, rightfully so, it's one of those IP that's just like...

How is how could Toy Story not be one of those movies or other kind of media things that that just translates beautifully to video games? It's like Spider-Man.

Yep, the human hemorrhoid has returned.

Yeah, so now he has been brought in for his gaming CEO expertise, with them now having the recently formed Paramount Games Studio that's merging with Warner Brothers' own internal developers, like Avalanche Software, NetherRealm Studio, Rocksteady, TT Games, and WB Montreal in Boston.

Mm-hmm.

So, yeah, he gets to be involved in the next Mortal Kombat or Injustice or whatever else is being done.

We want to meet customers where they watch, play, and engage." So obviously, we don't know what Skydance's full true output will look like.

You've got some WD developers like, uh, Avalanche Software, who are doing Hogwarts Legacy 2.

NetherRealms, who are working on Mortal Kombat.

Rocksteady, the Batman guys, they're working on the next Batman Arkham game after the Suicide Squad failure.

Remember that one? It's actually way more games than that because there are various versions of each game included in the package, and when the versions are either PS1 or Game Boy Color, there are gonna be some pretty big differences, I'd wager.

The other one they're releasing is Toy Story 3: Complete Edition, which is the PS3 and 360 game developed by Avalanche Software, who would then go on to make Hogwarts Legacy.

I feel like this one was actually pretty well-liked.

There are levels based on the movie as well as a sandbox mode.
