Plenty of launched games welcomed new content this past week. Indie and AAA titles like Children of Morta and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order both added a new game plus mode and other extra content. Despite issues with its publisher over an early launch on Nintendo Switch, Indivisible is moving forward with new DLC on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. On a more emotionally driven note, Team Fortress 2 updated with a tribute to the voice of Soldier, Rick May, who recently passed away.
In other gaming news, Inside Xbox announced several new titles, a massive bundle of games is being sold to raise charity and support stay-at-home orders, and a Super Mario 64 fan port was taken down almost as soon as it went up.
