Maybe prepare to dig out your finest gaudy suit and mountains of, er, a certain substance. A PC re-release of Radical Entertainment’s Scarface: The World Is Yours has suddenly popped up on the Epic Store and Steam. The Epic version is available already, having been “unintentionally pushed live” early due to backend issues, according to new publishers EC Digital Entertainment.
Steam is getting a new eight-week calendar feature for both games you’ve wishlisted and recommended games based on your previous playtime. No longer will you have to source recommendations by reading tea leaves, or visualise your wishlist by labelling different-shaped food in your fridge. Now, you’ll get a proper, personalised Monday-to-Friday chart that refreshes every day.
Frogwares have delayed the release of Lovecraftian survival horror The Sinking City 2 to the first half of 2026, citing the effects of developing a game in amid the war between Russia and Ukraine as having understandably affected how long it’s taken to get things done. There’s no concrete new date as of right now, but the studio have shared some work-in-progress screens.
Mere moments before release, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been delayed by the occult implosion of developers The Chinese Room, seemingly triggered by a last-ditch request from Paradox Interactive to add a microtransaction system and start charging for every bitten neck.
There is nothing left of The Chinese Room now. Nothing but a huge bubble of Cromwell invocations and bisexual lighting, right in the middle of Portsmouth. Occasionally, a level designer erupts from the congealing iridescent surface, begging to be allowed to make Dear Esther 2 instead, only to be dragged back into the orb by a thousand, vermillion-painted fingers.
Publishers Slitherine and developers The Artistocrats have launched one of those high-fadoodling “2.0” updates for Starship Troopers – Terran Command, their violently arachnophobic real-time strategy game from 2022. It introduces Territory Mode, which sees you defending three planets featured in the base game and two expansions, and brags of “a level of personalization and replayability never before seen in Terran Command”.
Embark Studios CEO and former EA guy Patrick Söderlund has been chatting about the usage of generative AI and machine learning in Arc Raiders, the forthcoming looter shooter with the neat motorbike helmets. He’s of the opinion that while generative AI tools at large are “pioneering” inventions that “should completely change how this industry functions”, “the human aspect is still essential”. Nonetheless, it’s patently obvious from Embark’s self-commentary in general that the real pioneering element of genAI technologies is cutting specific humans out of the picture, so that More Videogame May Be Made.
Former Ridgeline Games boss and Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto has spoken out against the diminished representation of certain old Ridgeline colleagues in Battlefield 6‘s credits, pointing out that some have been “entirely omitted” despite their years of work laying the “foundation” for EA’s new FPS.
Time to phone Genghis Khan. Tell him the news. There’s gonna be a bit more waiting before you can become 13th century Mongolia’s a truest Yam courier rider/horse befriender. Following its latest Steam Next Fest demo, The Legend of Khiimori‘s early access release has been pushed back to March next year.
I know, throw down your spurs like they’re Yosemite Sam’s hat. There’s neigh way developers Aesir Interactive and NightinGames have done this to you. Well, they have, but they say they’ve got the game’s best interests at heart.
For a myriad of reasons, I can’t really write any particular profane curse words here, but an approximation of my feelings on Birdcage, an anime as hell, “sword action shooting game”, it would be something like, “this game is so ******* sick, like what the ****, how the **** can one game be so ******* stylish.” I’m sure you can fill in the blanks of what words I wish I could use there, but if you’ll allow me, I’d also like to take the time to actually talk about why Birdcage rules so much.
The Nintendo Dual Screen! Or Nintendo DS, as it was actually known. There’s a console that has practically no relevance to this site, except for right now, because of a game called Dementium: The Ward. For those that haven’t heard of it, this is one of the incredibly few horror games available on the handheld console, nowadays a bit of a cult classic because who on earth thought it would be a good idea to do that. It was also pitched as a Silent Hill game, a point we’ll come back to because the big thing here is that it’s making its way to Steam later this month.
