I blinked and almost missed Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2's release date

I’m quietly very pumped for Space Marine 2. I’m no Warhammer head, but I’m quite taken with its World War Z-esque horde stomping. If it’s even a fraction of the God Of War game it looks like it wants to be, I’m here for it, to be honest. And hey, after enjoying Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters recently, I find myself increasingly drawn to the daft, over the top drama of the 40Kverse more generally....

No Man's Sky studio Hello Games unveil Light No Fire, a fantasy survival game set on a single, huge planet

Kingfishers! Skeletons! Orbs! Another way of describing Light No Fire is that it’s No Man’s Sky held up to an enchanted mirror. It’s immediately recognisable as a sibling production, from its gemlike logo art to the acoustics of the title, but all the familiar elements have been inverted. No Man’s Sky’s art direction is designed to evoke a classic Frank Herbert sci-fi book cover; Light No Fire takes that vivid palette and applies it to a fairytale world that recalls Narnia and Pan’s Labyrinth....
