Penultimate biome is also the survival sim’s toughest yet Do you love the smell of napalm in the morning? If so, you’ll probably love the smell ofValheim’s Ashlands biome, which has just launched for all players aftera period of beta testing. Sadly, my computer is incapable of producing smells beyond a faint reek of encrusted pasta sauce and regret, but if it did, I imagine I’d even now be basking in the aroma of burning bone and feather, because that is what the 10 new creatures you’ll meet in the Ashlands consist of, broadly....

The update arrives in June Wayfinder, currently a free-to-play RPG developed by Airship Syndicate, is undergoing a pretty drastic change in its upcoming Echoes patch. Right now it’s a live-service game with microtransactions, but soon it’ll continue as a paidco-opRPGwith no in-game monetisation. And that’s alongside promised tweaks to how progression works, too. Huh. It’s often you see paid games gofree-to-play,but this is an unexpected switcheroo. For “existing Steam Founders” Wayfinder’s Echoes update will be playable on May 31st, but will officially launch on June 11th....

Find out when Wuthering Waves releases, as well as its platforms and requirements Wondering when Wuthering Waves releases?With over 30 million pre-registered subscribers,Wuthering Wavesis a force to be reckoned with. Kuro Games has pulled out all the stops when it comes to enticing players with a memorable open world full of anime companions, slick combat, and monster-collecting action, and it’s safe to say that Wuthering Waves is probably the likeliest new player to challenge the gacha game crown currently held byGenshin Impact, or perhaps Honkai Star Rail, if you prefer....

“coded entirely in QB64, a modern take on the legendary QuickBASIC programming language” The only thing I’ve stuck to regularly over the last twelve years is breathing, and I often forget to do even that. So it’s with all the awe and appreciation in the world that I dove into the demo for retroRPGWhispers In The Moss. It’s been in development for twelve years, from solo devUncultured Games. It’s set in a vaguely ancient Rome-inspired fantasy world brought to life through intricate and inventive ASCII, and scored with homages to the classics....

Struggling to reach the Altus Plateau? Here’s where to go! Not sure how to reach the Altus Plateau in Elden Ring?As you might know, theElden Ringmap is absolutely gigantic (and bound to get bigger with theShadow Of The Erdtreeexpansion!).Liurniamay be the largest of the regions in terms of sheer traversable space, but the Altus Plateau just to its north is one of the most confusing to reach for new players....

It’s a Todd awful small affair Aspromised and/or threatened, depending on your perspective, open world gameFallout 4has gotten somenew graphics tweaks and bug fixesto smooth out the bumps caused by its previous“next gen update”. The update broke a bunch of mods, delayed a few interesting overhaul projects likeFallout London, and generally made everyone shake their fists at the sky and shout “Howaaaard!” Remember folks: auteur theory unduly credits a single creative for a group effort - the dice that Todd rolls every time he decides whether or not to break the game are also clearly to blame here....

SimSolomon A group of formerXCOMandCivilisationdevelopers have co-founded a new studio, Midsummer Studios, who plan to “revitalise the life sim genre” with their debut release. The latter doesn’t have a title yet, and is described as “a next-gen Life Sim that emphasizes player-driven narratives, allowing communities to share memorable moments that grow out of the creativity of players themselves.” According to former XCOM andMarvel’s Midnight Sunsdirector Jake Solomon, it’s “focused on the drama of modern life, where our players will write meaningful stories just by playing, and then share those stories with the world....

We have word from the oracle Greek god pulverizing simulatorHades 2is getting its first patch “later this month”, say the developers. Two things are on their to-tweak list. First, something might change about the way resource gathering tools are used (the pickaxe you use to mine silver during a run, for example). Second, and perhaps more significant, is an upcoming change to the way Melinoë’s dash and sprint work. We don’t know exactly what that change is but, according to Supergiant, it has something to do with your witchy batterer’s “distinct style”....

How to light your path in Elden Ring without needing a torch Looking for the Lantern in Elden Ring?As you’ll quickly discover the moment you enter any of the 100+ dark and dingy caves inElden Ring(soon to be even more whenShadow Of The Erdtreereleases), you’d best have a way of lighting your surroundings. Torches are easy to come by, but you have to physically hold them, which isn’t ideal. You know what is ideal?...

Tomato, tomato Tucked away in a corner of 1999’s Yosuka, Japan-setopen worldsimShenmuethere’s a convenience store, or “konbini”, where you can buy stuff like carrot juice, take part in raffles, and fritter away the hours listening tothe shop jingle- an absolute die-cast classic of the genre in that you’ll probably be humming the tune before you realise that you’ve even heard it. Nagai Industries founder Dima Shen has been obsessed with that unassuming Tomato Convenience Store since he was a teenager, partly for the contrast it offers to the rest of the game....

Themed around the history of the game Minecraftis turning fifteen years-old and to celebrate Mojang are running fifteen days of giveaways from May 15th until May 29th. Apparently each day will offer up “a new free Character Creator item representing a different year of Minecraft history.” This also means I’ve been playing Minecraft for nearly fifteen years. Do I care for Character Creator items? No. Will I be signing in each day on my son’s account to get him the free thing?...
