Company Of Heroes devs Relic bounce back with plans for big RTS games, smaller experiments and spiritual revivals

I was happy to hear that Relic had escaped outright closure. Relic will continue to support their existing games, like 2023’s Company Of Heroes 3. Relic’s hope is to develop and ship these in under two years. Fingers crossed that it all pans out, I guess.

GTA 6 publishers think PC is of "increasing" importance in 2025, but still won't announce the magic date

The newGrand Theft Autois slated to release on Xbox and PlayStation in fall 2025. As per Rockstar Games tradition, the PC release remains TBA. “Of course, there will be a new console generation.” Here is some slapdash background on the console biz, which is undergoing something of an evolutionary slow period. And if it doesn’t, hey, there’s always the apparently thriving PC market. “And I think that will happen this year....

All Riddler Barley answers in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

He’s a sneaky one, Barley! You’ll get a choice of two Skills to buff permanently. The key to this riddle is realising that each animal is paid 2.5 Groschen per leg that they have. The way you get to this conclusion is essentially by asking yourself, “why those animals? “, and in particular what’s so special about the spider that it gets paid the most. If you complete this second riddle, you’ll get your stake back no matter what....

Diceomancer review

Your health, enemy health, attacks, blocks, buffs, mana, gold - all fair game. The numbers in encounters. Heck, and thats before you kick off scribbling in the rulebook. I can turn every copy of a number into zero! I can gain effectively infinite mana! I can use every card in my hand! (As long as I have thirteen of them and they all have different names!) I can play a very very angry frog!...

Grand Theft Auto 6 is still hitting consoles in autumn, says Take-Two boss, promise

It’s a bit weird to write a news story which is essentially: “nothing has changed”. Especially since Zelnickalready told us the same thing in November last year. Back then Zelnick said he was “highly confident in the timing”. I’m not sure why I’m even writing this. Let’s think of this news story as, oh, an investment. So if you’re seeing this article from the future in which that has happened: hello!...

"Apex 2.0" is on the horizon, says EA boss, but it probably won't happen until after Battlefield 6

It could mean a revamp with new features, or some other new direction for the existing game. His later words do make it sound more like this is what EA have in mind. Or at least what they’re prepared to tell folks in a financial report. An Apex 2.0, if you will. This will not be the final incarnation of Apex," he said. The Apex update “will probably happen after a Battlefield launch,” he added....

Disco Elysium writer was told "people covet these items more than they care" when pushing back against ridiculous merch

Less blowing, actually. More taunting me from my screen maddeningly like a middle finger salute from a man with no hands. Here’s a clip on Atelier andthat fucking bag. That this loud minority doesn’t matter because people covet these items more than they care about this." Again, this is just one short clip from the writers talking about their experience with the company. “This is not the only story like this in the industry,” The 41st Precinct tells me....

Duskers is getting a ship-building sequel years after the sci-fi roguelike scared us to bits

fire up the door and let it in! The creators of sci-fi corridor explorerDuskersare making a “spiritual successor” to the 2016space game. The studio revealed their plans in a video showing three prototypes they’re currently working on. Sad, busted-ass space robots just trying to get by? Yes, I’m interested. “What can I say? The player types “slice” as a command to chop up parts of the vessel, for example. But that’s really all we see that seems significantly different so far....
