“We’re going to be able to do things that we’ve never done before.” Once you’ve finished screaming, let me re-emphasise that this story is one of those “according to report” stories. It comes from unnamed sources at Activision-Blizzard, describing a recent all-hands meeting during which CEO Bobby Kotick laid out his vision for the company and gaming at large followingActivison’s acquisition by Microsoft, which is tipped to finally conclude this week....

Crab it now Fishing sim-cross-deep sea exploration game-cross-restaurant management gemDave the Diverhas reeled in a fairly expansive update, with new content updates, performance improvements and various bug fixes. There’s also new mechanics in the form of crabs and lobsters, plus crab traps for catching them. There’s apparently a dedicated crab-catching system to play with as you wait for a crustacean to bite.

Cthulhave a go before release next week If you’ve been hankering for a Lovecraftian game that avoids open depictions of literal tentacle monsters,Forgive Me Father 2probably isn’t one for you.

“I think every single year, for three years straight, we took an additional shot at it.” Ara: History Untold’s headline gimmick is actually a couple of centuries old. In this deceptivelyCivilization-esque 4Xstrategygame, all player turns unfold simultaneously, once you’ve decided what to build or research, where to move your units, and so on. As Oxide Games design director Michelle Menard tells me over Zoom, this approach takes inspiration from an ancient military simulator, Kriegsspiel, which was devised by the Prussian army officer George Leopold von Reisswitz, aka the “father of wargaming”, in the mid-1800s....

Almost 350,000 people sign petition against annual Mob Vote Hundreds of thousands ofMinecraftplayers are downing pickaxes and revolting against what they feel to be Microsoft and Mojang’s stingy approach to updating the decade-old sandbox building sim. The trigger isthis year’s Minecraft Mob Vote, a community ballot to decide which of three creatures will be added to the game. Many Minecrafters feel the Mob Vote (which has extended to potential new Minecraft biomes in the past) is needlessly parsimonious, and cynically divisive: given Mojang’s current headcount and Microsoft’s resources, why not add all three mobs to the game, rather than asking players to do battle over scraps?...

Hell to pay Overwatch 2is getting new skins that clothe Moria and Pharah in the outfits ofDiablo 4’s Lilith and Inarius. Those skins are part of a new wave of cosmetics incoming for the game’s Season 7: Rise of Darkness, but they’re not part of the standard premium battle pass.
