Amazon just dropped the best Steam Deck microSD card deal we’ve seen in two year, and I wouldn’t wait around to upgrade on this one.

Baldur’s Gate 3 devs Larian discuss making two new games at once: “in practice, we will probably be miserable”
Last April, Baldur’s Gate 3 developers Larian announced that they were working on two new games, neither of which is Baldur’s Gate 4. Now, fresh from the labour of pumping BG3 full of bees, Larian boss Swen Vincke has shared a little more about how Belgium’s finest mindflayer-wranglers are organising development of these mystery projects.
Leaked Star Wars Eclipse images reveal Rodians, Gungans and other aliens coming in new Quantic Dream game
A long time ago in, well, this galaxy, actually, Quantic Dream announced that they were making Star Wars Eclipse, a cinematic adventure from the High Jedi era in which everybody can die. Alice Bee (RPS in peace) poured soothing oil over the flames of hype by saying it was probably going to be rubbish, citing reports of abusive working conditions. NetEase acquired Quantic Dream in 2022. Then, nothing was shown for many years. The world froze in anticipation like Han Solo doing jazz hands through carbonite.
Now, finally, some news, albeit the unofficial kind. Leaked concept artworks and pitching documents have shown off a few of the new game’s races.
Oblivion reigns over PC games this week, but there is still time for football, space cats and ghastly mansions
Hello and good New Week to ye, traveller! And my, my – what a New Week it is. We’re taking the desperate toil of feeding the Maw to strange new places. I’ll spell that out in a separate post to come, once I’ve caught up on emails during my absence last week and in general, remembered how to do my job, but you may already notice certain sinister adjustments to the format. I welcome any feedback and wanton abuse. In the meantime, here are some new PC games.
What’s on your bookshelf?: Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield
Hello reader who is also a reader, and welcome back to Booked For The Week – our regular Sunday chat with a selection of cool industry folks about books! This column is likely slightly late today, but that’s simply because I know there’s at least one of you rapidly thumbing through the last few pages of your current book so you can share your thoughts. Laziness is, in it’s own way, the greatest form of charity. When I do it. Everyone else needs to pull their socks up. God.
This week, it’s Magic: The Gathering, Vanguard Exiles, and many, many more’s Richard Garfield! Cheers Richard! Mind if we have a nose at your bookshelf?
A PS1 kei truck, jungle beats, and an eery vibe combine to make Easy Delivery Co., a game where there’s “definitely no secrets”
There isn’t a huge list of things that’ll immediately sell me on your game, but there is one that’ll draw me in without fail pretty much every single time: you can drive around in a kei truck. Now, admittedly, there are very few games where you can actually do this, the delightful Promise Mascot Agency being the most recent one. There’s the yet to be released Honcho from the devs behind Landlord’s Super and Jalopy, you can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be playing that one. And now, there’s Easy Delivery Co., a game with a kei truck that isn’t exactly what it says on the tin.
Square Enix if that Nier Reincarnation thing you’re teasing isn’t a port I won’t be your friend any more
I’m sure like me, some of you would really like another Nier game. A Nier 3, if you will, except I won’t, because it already came out and it was called Nier Reincarnation. Unfortunately it was also a free-to-play mobile game, and as most mobile games are destined for, it shut down last year rendering it completely unplayable. Nier celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, so far with no big announcements, though there is a new website that’s slowly sharing bits of a special novel. And curiously enough, it appears to be teasing something Nier Reincarnation related.
You can start ringing the new Skate’s death knell, because EA says it’s online only
I think to properly convey my severe dislike of always online games I’d probably need more space and time than what an average RPS news article provides, but I’ll try to contain myself on this one. You see, EA’s just started up this new thing it calls The Grind (like what you do on a skateboard, get it?), which they describe as their “platform to talk directly to you, the community.” The first volume had quite a few questions from expectant skaters about the upcoming Skate reboot, one of the first being whether or not it’ll have an offline mode. Can you already guess from my tone so far that it won’t?
The ever-gorgeous Capcom classic Breath of Fire 4 is back on PC, alongside a little sprucing up
The thing about computers is that they’re just really annoying, actually. They’re massively complicated, constantly changing machines, and despite the fact the hardware is technically better now, they can sometimes struggle to run older games because of… reasons. Those reasons often being software issues I won’t even attempt to understand. So, it always brings a smile to my face when I see another game back from the dead through the efforts of GOG’s preservation program, the most recent entry being the classic Capcom JRPG Breath of Fire 4.
Dune: Awakening’s biggest beta yet sets a date, though I expect most of you won’t have time to play all of it
Earlier this month Nacon did something unthinkable, completely unpredictable with Dune: Awakening… they delayed it. Alright, fine, generally the opposite is true for big games these days, but it did come down to the wire in the greater scheme of things as it was due out this coming May 20th. Now the MMO is slated to be released on June 10th (or June 5th for those with early access), just three weeks extra. That “meh” news did come with some “oh that’s cool” news though, as a large-scale beta was promised. Now, following a snazzy new story trailer, a date for said beta has been set!
