TIL, Custom WAW Zombies maps are ported over on the Xbox 360 version of World at War Zombies as a proof of concept.
No, this isn't a joke, both videos between Mario and CheeseCube maps are running on WAW 360. These guys are insane to port them as proof of concepts.
Xcancel is officially back online from the dead
Guess it's back on the menu, hopefully they explain what happened behind the curtains of what went down.
For the gist on what's recent:
>On 24 August 2026 cease and desist letters were sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.
>Following legal advice, the Nitter project will continue. This instance and others will be back up and running shortly. An announcement will be made within a week, once we're able to reveal more information.
Rovio Copenhagen to close after Sonic Blitz cancellation

>A Rovio spokesperson sent us the below statement: “Following a redundancy process, Rovio will discontinue all its operations in Denmark. Because the process has not yet concluded, we are not able to confirm an exact number of redundancies at the moment. Altogether, around 20 employees have worked on the now canceled Sonic Blitz project.”
>“For team members who we cannot allocate to a new project within Rovio, we will provide a comprehensive transition package, including dedicated outplacement services and wellbeing support to assist them in securing their next career opportunities.”
>“The decision to discontinue our operations in Copenhagen has been extremely difficult. We fully recognize the impact this has on our team, especially given the ongoing challenges within the broader games industry."
This is the first time hearing Sonic Blitz, but looking thorugh the footage, it's a borderline nothingburger of a mobile game. Also, Sonic's Branding nowdays is Crossover Filler.
Take this with a grain of salt, but major changes appear to be taking place behind the scenes of Call of Duty: Zombies in terms of the story narrative after the polarizing ending of BO7 Zombies' Final Map.
The main thread on what's going on by GMingle
Previous Rumor on the BO6 Zombies writing thread
Now let me be clear to say this, as frustrated as I am over the state of the Dark Aether storyline for the story being abysmal after Cold War, I never wanted people to lose their jobs or receive intense harassment, threats or even attempts at revealing their personal lives and job history.
All everyone in the community are asking for is, is the writing to be improved upon to be better, but it’s seems they set something up in MWZ (thanks Infinity Ward...) and had written themselves into a corner when BO6/7 came around and since one of it's main vets was 'on-leave' for personal reasons... Yeah, that's why the writing feel like mobile game levels of writing lead by inexperienced writers who came from mobile games, which honesty, I don't blame them since they're doing their best on throwing things around.
BUT, if COD 2028 for Treyarch's next game is the 20th anniversary of Treyarch's Zombies, I do pray this time they will bring in actual good writers this time around, >!now that the Tempest Crew are the official main stays for now.!<
