If you like pixel art style games as much as I do, chances are you’ll adore the look of Forge of the Fae – an upcoming Steampunk-inspired retro-modern RPG that’s currently demolishing all of its Kickstarter goals, and for good reason.Developed by indie studio Datadyne, Forge of the Fae takes place in a “story-rich, mysterious world inspired by Celtic folklore” where choices matter. It follows the tale of Fiora, an inventor trying to “uncover the truth behind a series of mysterious disappearances” while taking on turn-based battles and uncovering secrets lurking in the world. It looks absolutely stunning – with its retro art style, you can see exactly why the devs say it’s “a love letter to the classics of the 16-bit era,” but the Kickstarter page adds that Forge of the Fae’s “storytelling, environmental exploration, combat, and world lore offer a fresh and modern experience,” so we can expect a delightful mix of old and new. It’s giving me the same sort of vibe as mech…
Helldivers 2’s 60-day recovery plan is now a 63-day recovery plan, because its devs didn’t check what day of the week they were working with.In an update on Twitter, Helldivers 2 creative director Johan Pilestedt and design director Niklas Malmborg, outlined a little more about the progress of the 60-day recovery plan that Arrowhead kickstarted back in August. Those 60 days are nearly up, but not without a final bump in the road.”So, 60 days. But, we didn’t look at the calendar,” Pilestedt admits. “What day is the 60th day?” prompts Malmborg. “It’s on a Saturday,” the director notes. “And we don’t patch during weekends, because we don’t want to break the game while you’re playing the game.” As a result, Pilestedt says that “we have decided to release the 60-day patch on day 63.” For those of you who are looking at the calendar, that’s a Tuesday, October 15. While we’ve got a few days to wait for that, Malmborg and Pilestedt did offer some sneak peeks. Most of the big changes they’…

Now that there are less than 24 hours to go to the Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred release, the countdown to the DLC is well and truly on.While Diablo 4 has received a steady stream of seasonal content since its launch, they’re all stand-alone, so you don’t have to worry about being behind when coming into the Diablo 4 DLC. Vessel of Hatred picks up where the story left off, so the only thing you’ve really missed are various class balance patches and shake-ups to how things like loot and itemization work.So what’s Vessel of Hatred all about? We’re off to the familiar region of Nahantu to seek Neyrelle out as she falls deeper under Mephisto’s influence. Of course, it wouldn’t be Diablo content without new ways to boop ghouls over the head for loot, so expect plenty of fresh fiends and content. One of the main attractions, though, is the new Diablo 4 Spiritborn class. We’ve tried it for ourselves, and boy is it fun.”Blizzard doesn’t often add a new class to Diablo’s ranks, but Vessel of Hatred…
It’s been confirmed that a sequel to Creative Assembly’s 2014 survival horror game Alien: Isolation is in early development.Today, exactly 10 years after the release of the original, creative director Al Hope responds to fans’ “distress calls,” giving us that all-important announcement that work on a follow-up is underway. “On the 10th anniversary, it seems only fitting to let you know that we have heard your distress calls loud and clear,” Hope begins. “Today, I’m delighted to confirm, on behalf of the team, that a sequel to Alien: Isolation is in early development. We look forward to sharing more details with you when we’re ready.”No indication has been given as to when we can expect the sequel to be released, or what platforms it’ll land on, but it sounds like we might have quite a wait on our hands. Even so, it’s certainly exciting news for horror fans, especially with Halloween approaching. Hope says “it’s been nothing short of incredible” to see fans’ passion for Alien:…

After repeated delays, a change in studio, and barely dodging total cancellation, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is apparently coming into form over at new developer The Chinese Room, according to CEO Mattias Lilja of publisher Paradox Interactive. Speaking with GamesIndustry, Lilja affirms that “changing developers is a pretty drastic measure, it is the step before you stop.” When The Chinese Room inherited the project, Lilja says Paradox let them choose what ideas to keep, and “generally, it’s a continuation of the same vision but they had to make it theirs.” Bloodlines 2 is now scheduled for the first half of 2025, and seemingly on track to meet this date under this new vision. What is that vision? Lilja says the sequel will draw comparisons to the original Bloodlines, but also, “people who have seen it talk about Dishonored.” In a similar vein, he reckons “it’s a bit more of an action RPG, but very steeped in the lore in the sense that you’re a vampire in World of…
The GTA Online Gun Van is constantly changing places between various deserted parking lots and back alleyways, moving across Los Santos and Blaine County to stay off the radar of any rival arms dealers or local law enforcement that may be tracking them. This makes sense from a security standpoint, however the upshot is that ‘legitimate’ customers have a much more difficult time finding them to complete their illicit transactions – there are lots of places where the Gun Van can spawn, so I’m here to help you track it down fast. While the brutal Railgun is still off sale, the futuristic Up-n-Atomizer from the Republican Space Rangers is here, along with the also exclusive Battle Rifle and the Minigun you can pick up with no account level restrictions.These transactions are strictly off the books, which means the usual unlock requirements don’t apply here and you can purchase any of the Gun Van offerings regardless of your online rank. The quoted costs also include a discount thanks…
Ghost of Yotei’s developers have explained why they’re moving on from Ghost of Tsushima’s cast and instead choosing to have Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s star lead a whole new revenge tale. Coming next year, Ghost of Yotei was announced at yesterday’s September State of Play show, as developer Sucker Punch takes its wildly successful open-world formula to a new part of historical Japan, set 300 years after the first game. Ghost of Tsushima’s Jin Sakai was certainly prepped for a sequel, but the studio was supposedly too fond of origin stories to let the concept go after just one game. “We wanted to continue to innovate,” the studio’s communications manager, Andrew Goldfarb, writes in a recent PlayStation Blog. “To create something fresh but familiar, we looked beyond Jin Sakai’s story and the island of Tsushima, and shifted our focus to the idea of the Ghost instead. At Sucker Punch, we love origin stories and we wanted to explore what it could mean to have a new hero wear…
