Plus a few thoughts on what we might see CDPR is renowned forThe Witcherseries, and slightly less so forCyberpunk 2077, so you can expect to hear something about at least the former during today’s livestream. You’ll be able to watch the stream on Twitch at CDPR’s official channelhere. It’ll presumably also be viewable on the CD Projekt RedYouTube channel, but no official stream countdown has started yet. It’s worth keeping an eye on CDPR’s20th anniversary sitetoo....

Next-gen SSDs will likely need heatsinks This week, far too much of my brainspace has been occupied by theJiuShark M.2-Three: a tower-style cooler for NVMe SSDs that’s just launched in China. Honestly, look at it. For days I’ve been absorbing these images of a baby CPU air cooler, yoked to the dinkiest of PC storage, and I still can’t decide if it’s brilliant or just sheer crawling madness. Except, in the not-so-distant future, there’s a chance that active SSD cooling won’t seem so excessive at all....

I replayedDragon Age: Originsrecently not for this column, but forfun....

Spoken too soon Squeenix announced Forspoken’s latest delay onTwitter, saying that “all game elements are now complete”, and that “development is in its final polishing phase”. We can expect to hear a bit more about the game “this summer”. Yeah, fair enough. Forspoken was previously calledProject Athiaand it’s basically an isekai, a Japanese genre of portal fantasy where a regular person gets sucked into a bizare new realm. In this case, the regular person is Frey and the fantasy world is Athia, a land that looks so similar to Eos fromFinal Fantasy XV, I’d be surprised if the boys and their Regalia don’t feature as a method of fast travel....

It’s not just the banging soundtrack that’s skipping this one Both Suda51 and Gunn tweeted to confirm they weren’t involved with the project. Gunnwas the firstto address the remake, in reaction to a Bloody Disgusting article about the game. “To answer the question in the article, neither I nor @suda_51 are currently involved in this,” Gunn said. “I heard about it for the first time from Suda a couple weeks ago....

They’re open to bribes It’s not usually good news when an emperor decides to directly involve themselves in your business, but sci-fi 4X RTSDune: Spice Warscertainly thinks it is. House Corrino will be landing their Sardaukar warriors on the desert planet of Arrakis this summer to challenge the Atreides, Harkonnens, Smugglers and Fremen as part of the game’s next major update. The new playable faction is the second of Spice Wars’ Early Access roadmap milestones....

The PC pre-order bonus is three wallpapers, while console folks get a whole other game Mythological mash-up action RPGValkyrie Elysiumwill hit PC on November 11th, Square Enix have announced, six weeks after its initial release on current-gen PlayStations. Alas, while buyers of the PlayStation deluxe digital edition will also get to enjoy a brand-new port of PSP game Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (an enhanced version of the very first Valkyrie game), Square Enix have decided not to include it in the equivalent PC edition....

We’re still working to decide the single best thing in games Last time, you decided thatsecrets behind waterfalls are better than boss battles as skill checks. I’m not sure I agree but I can’t disagree. We’re doing difficult work here. This week, it’s a question of a helping hand when you’re stuck versus something so unsubtle that it’ll take your face off and you’ll be glad for it and even be miffed if it doesn’t happen....

Nature nurture In the 100 or so hours I’ve spent playingDeath Strandingin the last couple of years, I’ve often wondered about the state of Sam Bridges' limbs. Specifically, the strain they must be under carrying those preposterously high columns of metal cased packages up and down the slopes of post-apocalyptic America. If I were in his hiking boots, I’m not sure all the reinforced skeletons in the world would help me reach the same kind of porter-ing skills as he does gambolling about the place, at least not based on how sore and tired my dinky little wrists are after a couple of hours of playing Strange Scaffold’s new Strand-type game,Witch Strandings....

Nab yourself a variety of boosts and other rewards with these codes Looking for the latest Anime Fighters Simulator codes?If I had a penny for every anime-themed fighting sim onRoblox, I’d have a very heavy wallet. Rather than cribbing from a single source, though, Anime Fighters Simulator draws inspiration from the likes of Naruto, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and others. If there’s one thing I love more than an ultimate crisis crossover, it’s getting all the toys out of the box and playing with them at once, so Anime Fighters Simulator might be just the ticket if you’re similarly inclined....
