Soulframe's latest major update is a broadside of pirate weapons, class abilities and outfits, plus falling alien skytowers
Pensive and flamboyant action-RPG Soulframe has just received a new update that adds a pirate class, together with rapiers, cutlasses, and a flouncy sailor's outfit. The class in question is the Duelo pact, which boasts of "swashbuckling abilities": these include an artful dodge that spawns a decoy phantom, an enemy-slowing sword flourish, and the old classic 'flintlock to the face' manoeuvre. They're also introducing a haunted shipwreck environment, plus a bunch of new enemies, another siege in
Permainan bertahan hidup bajak laut Windrose terjual lebih dari 1 juta eksemplar, karena jumlah pemain terus meningkat

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 director "really proud" the gay romance he pushed for, which is somehow totally different to "woke" games' representation, is up for awards
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is up for a couple of awards from Gayming Magazine for its portrayal of the LGBTQ+ relationship Henry and Hans can have, if you opt to pursue it. Daniel Vávra, the game's creative director, current Kingdom Come movie maker, and also sayer of many GamerGatey things in the past, has done a tweet about these nominations. Read more
"It's been an interesting year": the jailed creator of Fortune's Run has passed parole and is back working on her Deus Ex-style FPS
Last January, the lead developer of very good immersive sim shooter Fortune's Run revealed that she was going to prison for three years, having been convicted of an unspecified violent crime several years prior. The game's early access development was put on hold as a consequence. A parole board has since reviewed Dizzie's case, however, and granted her release after roughly a year in the clink. She's now keen to start working on Fortune's Run once more. Read more
The Division was originally a World of Warcraft style MMO, but "that skill component wasn't there", says Massive Entertainment
Massive Entertainment has revealed that at one point in development, The Division was a World of Warcraft style MMORPG with a hotbar and dog companion, before transforming into the game we know today. Read more
Whip out your old film camera and enter a Makoto Shinkai-esque world in Opus: Prism Peak, which is out today
As trendy as it's sort of become as a feature, photography modes in most games don't interest me much. They've either got too much freedom, making the act of taking photos boring, or so many limitations it hardly feels like photography at all. Limitations are good! You can't get good photos without them, I just prefer having an actual lens, even a digital one, to look through. So whenever a game that's actually about photography, like Opus: Prism Peak (which is out today), rocks up, my curiosity
It seems the Windrose hype was on to something, as the piratical survival game sets sail to positive Steam reviews and high player numbers
Ahoy there, there's a new piratical romp on the gaming seas. Windrose - formerly known as Crosswind - is out now in early access, and so far, it seems to be faring really rather well. Read more
"We had this problem before in the games we created with CD Projekt": Blood of Dawnwalker CEO defends use of AI voice placeholders to save time
Open world vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker makes use of AI-generated voice acting, Rebel Wolves CEO Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has revealed, but doesn't actually feature it in-game. The devs deployed the soul-regurgitating tech to create placeholder voice performances early in development, in order to tinker with quests and the like without re-recording the associated dialogue. Tomaszkiewicz says this has kept costs down, citing his experience at CD Projekt working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and

Old School RuneScape has just launched its sixth ever limited-time league event, allowing MMO lovers to dive into a selection of new servers to experience the world under the thumb of the hellish Yama. Called Demonic Pacts, over 150,000 people are playing the game as of writing, mere hours since its release. Read more
Samson's second update continues to swat serious bugs, and its street races have been tweaked into ideal day-ending money-makers
Liquid Swords continue to chip away at the biggest issues Samson, their bitesize tale of a small-time crim pulling jobs to gradually remove the debt albatross from his neck, has faced since it launched the other week in a state the ranged from harmlessly quirky to frustratingly broken. The second of these patches picks up the first's problem-eliminating baton, but also sees the devs start to make some more in-depth tweaks to mechanics that work fine, but leave a bit to be desired.

Horror RPG Look Outside's chunky new 2.3 update gives you even more reason to share soup with the cursed folk living in your basement
Funky horror RPG Look Outside has just gotten a big update, with some fresh additions, enough balancing tweaks to kill any window-looking monsters, and some extra "nasty surprises" for its cursed mode. Seriously, these are some looooooooooooooooooong patch notes for the Devolver-published flick of spooky pixel artist Francis Coulombe. Read more
Beautiful, flawed MMO Book of Travels is now a $5 singleplayer RPG, in a break from the industry trend of killing off struggling online games
I've long been an embarrassed fan of Book of Travels, the "tiny MMO" with heady artistic influences from Swedish indies Might & Delight. It's a world of enchanted string, vast cutaway forests, tinkling tea sets, and sleepy quasi-Orientalist cities. Our former news writer Lauren Morton called it "the cure for my break-up with MMOs" back in 2021. But it's never quite accomplished its ambitions, with the developers laying off around 25 staff following a difficult early access launch, and postponing
"You cannot create art like this": The Blood of Dawnwalker director on making AAA games that aren't just interested in money
If the *waves hands frantically* general state of the games industry hasn't made it clear already, it cannot be understated how much of a priority making money is for the suits that own all these game studios. Who cares if the thing is good! Will it make lots of money? And judging by a recent interview, The Witcher 3 director and director of the upcoming The Blood of Dawnwalker Konrad Tomaszkiewicz takes issue with this frustrating fact. Read more
Some cult classic retro Warhammer games are now on sale for Steam, including one cult classic that may be great for the Steam Deck
The Warhammer Classics Collection, a Steam Store event currently underway courtesy of Warhammer and SNEG, has brought with it a collection of beloved retro games to the PC store for the first time. This includes a particular cult classic which was devilishly hard to get working previously. Read more
Roblox is introducing a subscription service that encourages more shady practices, is it? Sounds about right
I truly wonder when enough will be enough for Roblox Corporation. We all know how much money Roblox is raking in, and yet yesterday it was announced that a shiny new subscription service called Roblox Plus is on the way. This new subscription is effectively replacing Roblox Premium, which for varying monthly fees you'd get varying amounts of the in-game currency Robux. Except Roblox Plus sounds like a worse deal.

Esoteric Ebb review
When I tell people about Esoteric Ebb, I mostly say that I play an idiot, because there's something deeply comforting about being a waylaid government oaf. Sure, I've pledged allegiance to hierarchy and bureaucracy, but there's always the possibility of doing something naughty or exciting or even something unexpectedly brave. As an unassuming representative of the establishment, I dance on the knife's edge of plausible deniability and weaponised incompetency. Ultimately, though, there's always t
Swashbuckling co-op survivor Windrose sets sail into early access next week, which means it's time to battle Blackbeard and a big flower
Yo ho, me hearties. Windrose, the co-op pirate survival game which lured plenty of folks aboard its demo decks in the Steam Next Fest earlier this year, is set to launch into early access next week. Better start practicing those shanties and, er, preparing to stab a giant flower once you've fought weird plague creatures. Read more
Rust 2 isn't in development, Facepunch boss confirms after suspicious Steam page sparks speculation
Facepunch founder Garry Newman has denied that a sequel to survival/naked bloke battle royale game Rust is currently in the works, after a Rust 2 Steam listing ignited online chatter along those lines. Read more
