Skull and Bones has been delayed yet again, despite already having being delayed for the fifth time last September. It was due for March, but this latest delay pushes it back to “early” in the financial year 2023-24, which begins in July.
At least it’s (sea)faring better than three other unannounced Ubisoft games, which have been cancelled thanks to Ubisoft’s general underperforming sails. Sorry, sales.
Marvel Snap is excellent, and when you first start playing it chucks new cards at you faster than a confused magician. That slows down once you’ve got a few hours under your utility belt, but developers Second Dinner have some changes in the works that should make rarer cards easier to snag. If you’re saving up for a particular card from the Token Shop, it’s worth checking whether it’s one of 9 cards that are about to get cheaper.
The first “Series Drop” is due to land in an update on January 31st, which will also add a mode that lets you battle your buds.
Katana Zero. You know when something wriggles its way into your brain and sort of just stays there? Considering it’s been three years since Katana Zero launched, I guess it’s gotten to the point where its toothbrush is next to mine. It’s not even for the reasons you might expect, either. Yes, its side-scrolling action is so buttery smooth it should come with a cholesterol warning. Its soundtrack is sublime. It looks gorgeous. But for me, the chewiest bit is the story.
Chicken Police, making this a pleasing pivot from grizzled chickens to grizzly chic ions.
most anticipated games for the year, more excellent games start getting announced the moment you hit publish. Case in point: Goldhawk Interactive’s long-awaited Xenonauts 2 has just been confirmed to be heading to Steam early access later this year. Huzzah! The original Xenonauts was an excellent homage to the hyphenated school of X-COMs / UFO: Enemy Unknowns of old, so I’m feeling pretty pumped to find out how its sequel builds on its classic, squad-based tactics.
Final Fantasy XIV‘s latest Patch 6.3 “Gods Revel, Lands Tremble” features new main scenario quests, a 24-player alliance raid dungeon, amongst many other tweaks and additions to the MMO. Really, though, it should be called “Baos Split, Tummies Rumble” as players have discovered the real highlight: a bao bun animation that’ll leave your salivary glands twitching. It’s beautiful. Magnificent. Almost NSFW.
Duelyst spent several years trying to find a business model that worked, before it finally shut down for good back in 2020. Well now the whole thing – code and art – is open source and available for use in others projects, royalty-free.

Final Fantasy 16‘s PC port came up. “Nobody said a word about a PC version release,” said Yoshi P, the producer on both FFXIV and FFXVI. “Why is it like a PC version is releasing 6 months later? Don’t worry about that, buy a PS5!” he said, laughing.
We’ve been working under the assumption that Final Fantasy 16 would come to PC after a period of PlayStation 5 exclusivity, but in fairness, that’s because that’s what the Final Fantasy 16 trailers have said would happen.
Subnautica sees you play as the lone survivor of a space crew whose ship has crash-landed in the middle of a vast alien ocean. To survive, you’ll need to dip into the sea and use your trusty knife to carve kelp and mine rocks to slowly kit yourself out in gear that’ll help you survive betterer. But most importantly, dip furtherer.
