Devil May Cry 5 certainly leaves an impression. What felt like a franchise unable to come back from the brink, now feels like one with a future.

Microsoft Have Bought The Havok Engine Off Intel
Microsoft have been big on acquiring things of late. The company is throwing around cash in serious ways to obtain tools and games, which will likely have a positive effect on their output.
In that vein, Microsoft have revealed in a blog post that they've bought the Havok engine off of Intel. Havok is a game engine that has produced games like Uncharted, Bioshock, The Elder Scrolls and many, many more. In a statement to IGN, the corporation have said they they don't plan to keep this exclusive to Microsoft games though, as they plan to loan the physics engine out to the broader games industry.
We will continue to license Havok's technology to the broad AAA games industry. This also means that we will continue to license Havok's technology to run across various game consoles including Sony and Nintendo
I'm not sure this will really have a huge effect on consumers for the most part, but for mere console war bragging rights, the other console makers might well be paying Microsoft to make games soon, which is odd.
