Ninja Theory has announced a brand new experimental title Project: Mara. Below you can read all about the announcement, straight from Ninja Theory themselves.

Today, we are announcing Project: Mara, our new in-development experimental title that explores new ways of storytelling, and we’re excited to share the first details with you.

Project: Mara will be a real-world and grounded representation of mental terror. Based on real lived experience accounts and in-depth research, our aim is to recreate the horrors of the mind as accurately and realistically as possible. Project: Mara will be an experimental title and a showcase of what could become a new storytelling medium.

Since joining Xbox Game Studios in 2018, we’ve been hard at work on our upcoming multiplayer brawler Bleeding Edge, our new recently-announced innovative R&D project, The Insight Project, and of course Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. These projects will continue to drive our development goals for the next few years and will help shape Ninja Theory’s vision for our future.

You can follow the development journey of all of our new projects – Senua’s Saga, The Insight Project and Project: Mara on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Rumor: Nintendo and Nvidia are working on a Switch revision, utilizes Volta GPU architecture and custom Nvidia processor

The latest rumor comes from Wccftech and as always, its important to take each rumor with a grain of salt. Apparently, a new SoC is in development with Nintendo and Nvidia for a new Switch revision. This revision is considered to be a “Pro” version, but we will not be addressing it as such here. The revision will not support 4K or include major performance boosts. However, it’s supposed to use a Volta GPU and architecture. The Tegra X1 would be replaced with a custom chip developed by Nintendo and Nvidia. With a custom processor and Volta GPU, power draw would be reduced and include a minor/reasonable boost in performance. A revision like this would target 1080p across many more games and give developers a bit more to work with in the Switch. Once again, please take this rumor with a grain of salt.
