SteamWorld Build is the Dig story you know and love in a fabulous new form
Thunderful unveiled SteamWorld Build earlier this evening, the next entry in their genre-hopping series of games about colourful robot pals trying to make their way in the world. As the name implies, this one’s a citybuilder, and I’ve been hands on with an early build of, err, Build, to tell you all about it. No, I’m not sure what’s going on with the previously announced Headhunter right now either, but in some ways, I’m glad it’s Build that’s coming out first.
After all, it’s been a hot minute since the last SteamWorld game came out, and Build is shaping up to be the perfect reintroduction to what made this series so special. It goes right back to its roots, reframing that classic SteamWorld Dig story of mining for gold and treasure with a new, management-style eye for town-planning, while also paying homage to where it all began for these jolly old rustbuckets way, way back on the Nintendo DSi. That’s right. SteamWorld Build may be a citybuilder on the surface, but down below it’s a mining and tower defence ’em up – and having lost several hours to my demo build already, it’s really something special.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 gets Hardcore mode in next month’s Season 02 update
Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer sees a return for the fast-paced Hardcore mode from previous Call Of Duty games when Season 02 arrives on February 15th. Over the weekend, devs Infinity Ward tweeted about Hardcore mode’s imminent comeback in the forthcoming update. Hardcore mode chucks out the game’s HUD, turns on friendly fire, and reduces health to make matches quicker and a little more unpredictable. There’ll also be some changes to Warzone 2’s DMZ, such as new missions and difficulty tuning.

The Dead Space remake has more than one ending
Dead Space remake launching on January 27th will have an alternate ending. A list of the game’s achievements published on True Trophies includes one that hints at another way to see out the revised adventures of Isaac Clarke, instead of just landing the bog-standard ending.
