Kiln: From Clay Pots to Competitive Pottery Battlegrounds

Double Fine's Kiln began as a two‑week Amnesia Fortnight prototype and grew into a pottery‑powered multiplayer brawler. Real‑life pottery classes helped the team translate clay shaping, glazing, and tooling into a controller‑driven experience where pots are the stars. Players customize pots (shapes, glazes, handles, stickers), share creations in The Wedge, team up or duel in battles, and can opt to focus on pottery in the lobby. Kiln is headed for Spring 2026 on Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Steam, with Xbox Game Pass and a March 2026 closed beta.

The concept originated from a 2017 Amnesia Fortnight prototype and has been kept light and colorful, with no AI involvement.

Double Fine’s Kiln is a team-based multiplayer brawler where players handcraft clay battlers in a pottery studio, then fight on myth-inspired maps.

Kiln features the Quench mode at launch, with maps inspired by ancient Greek/Egyptian gods, and arrives Spring 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC, PlayStation 5, Steam, and Game Pass Ultimate.

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon: A Cinematic Journey Beyond Expectations

Filmmaker Zack Snyder, known for his divisive superhero films, has taken up pottery as a hobby after his wife suggested he find a creative outlet other than playing Fortnite. His latest film, "Rebel Moon," is a departure from his previous work, a big-budget space epic without any comic book characters. The film, set to release on Netflix on December 22, coincides with the release of "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," the final film in the SnyderVerse. Despite the controversy surrounding his films, Snyder's passion for storytelling and his boyish enthusiasm remain unchanged, according to Netflix film chairman Scott Stuber.
