Dragon Age: The Veilguard won’t get expansions, reports say, as BioWare move to the next Mass Effect
BioWare currently has no plans for Dragon Age: The Veilguard expansions, according to reports. Instead the studio will support the fantasy RPG with smaller updates and otherwise turn their full attention towards Mass Effect 5.
Elder Scrolls: Legends has been removed from sale and will become unplayable in January 2025
The Elder Scrolls: Legends, the free-to-play card game set in Bethesda’s fantasy world, has been removed from sale on Steam. Its servers will shut down for good on January 30th, 2025, after which it will no longer be playable. The closure comes five years after the game was last updated.
Pathologic 3 devs keen to avoid “premature promises” about bringing back the Changeling in Pathologic 4
Like a plague doctor delicately administering another handful of leeches, Ice Pick Lodge have shared a bit more about the recently announced Pathologic 3, explaining how their plans for the cult epidemic-battling series have progressed since the release of Pathologic 2.
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta is live with an early glimpse of the new camping, wound and weather systems
Stroll on down to Uncle Capcom’s garage, girls and boys, because it’s time to meddle with a cat’s voicebox, ride a combat peacock and meticulously injure a vast, blubbery teddybear. By which I mean, the Monster Hunter Wilds beta is now live on Steam through to 4th November at 2.59am GMT. That’s 2.59am sharp. If you’re hurrying along at 3am on Monday absolutely desperate to polish the aesthetics of a small enslaved catperson, you can sod off and play Dragon Age: The Veilguard instead.
Showa American Story is Yakuza: Dead Souls meets Tokyo Gore Police, and it looks incredible
Some days, I wonder if every word written before a trailer is actually superfluous. It’s a visual medium, after all. What can a description achieve save to clumsily gesture at the true shape of something; a dog-eared tour brochure for a thrilling weekend spelunking in Plato’s cave? I can usually shake this feeling, but gory zombie action game Showa American Story is my breaking point. There is nothing I can impart about this thing that will not be conveyed better by allowing its new trailer to wash over you like a tide of sheer videogame. Here’s it:
Buckshot Roulette now has a 4-person multiplayer mode, which I’m sure you will survive
Real gamblers play russian roulette with shotguns. That is the core concept of Buckshot Roulette, the Inscryption-looking game of blinksweat and bulletworry. It’s been out for a while now but the developers have just added a fun extra – a 4-person multiplayer mode.
Respawn have killed Apex Legends’ Steam Deck support in the name of anti-cheat
The Steam Deck is something of a talisman for gaming on Linux, its popularity and penguin-powered SteamOS having almost singlehandedly dragged it past MacOS as the second-most-used operating system among Steam users. Sadly, this also means the Valve handheld is the primary casualty when developers decide to stop bothering with Linux support, as Respawn Entertainment have decided to do for Apex Legends.
The trick to Dragon Age’s lore is that the lore is lying, says original “uber-plot” writer David Gaider
Part of the fun of Dragon Age’s fantasy is that it’s inconsistent – or at least, inconsistent by the standards of fantasy RPGs, which often break down into a million neatly organised and interlocking codex entries. It all rides on who you speak to. The humans believe one thing about the origins and workings of Thedas, the elves another, the qunari something else entirely. These differences are the basis for many factional disagreements and thus, many core series plot developments. According to former lead writer David Gaider, however, there’s an “uber-plot” behind it all that may one day be resolved and bring the series to a close, assuming BioWare continue to refer to his original (and closely guarded) narrative documents.
