If you have, or perhaps you are reading this magazine in an effort to limit screen time (you’re doing great, and we appreciate your support), I can’t continue to talk about the game without spoiling its major twist. The trailer teases what appears to be a medieval strategy game with base-building elements before a contemporary, but admittedly junky truck screams through time to arrive in the middle of a battlefield brimming with horses, suits of armor, and presumably the sh...

Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Publisher: 11 Bit Studios Developer: 11 Bit Studios Release: July 25, 2024 ( PC ), TBA ( PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X/S ) Rating: Mature The 2018 release of Frostpunk delivered a unique twist on the city-builder genre, putting you in control of a band of humans trying to survive the new ice age. Players assumed the role of The Captain as they built up their small colony of workers to a flourishing city in the post-apocalypse. Along the way, players needed to make hard decisions, like restricting food, enforcing strict authoritarian laws, putting children to work, or worse. Frostpunk 2 picks up the story 30 years later and, in the process, looks to improve nearly every aspect of the well-liked simulator. Three decades have passed since the events of Frostpunk. The group has been roaming the frozen desert for years, but in the face of another whiteout, they return to the old machine, hoping to use its heat to survive. This is wh...

The Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, which will recreate the classic role-playing game in the graphical style of Square Enix's Octopath Traveller series, now "draws near" as it's confirmed to be a multiplatform title. A post on X/Twitter teasing the game, which was announced in May 2021 but has gone practically unheard of since, confirmed it will come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. "The legend of Erdrick draws near," the post reads, while a short teaser video ends with the phrase: "The legacy begins." This suggests Square Enix is close to revealing a proper look at the game and perhaps a release date, potentially during a showcase in summer 2024 when E3 once took place . Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake was announced as a recreation of the 1988 original , meaning it will arrive more than three decades later. The HD-2D style was coined when Square Enix released Octopath Traveller for Nintendo Switch in 2018, ...

Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke has admitted the Baldur's Gate 3 team had "to crunch a bit" during development, meaning employees had to work overtime in order to finish the game on time. As reported by Games Radar , Vincke said at the Digital Dragons conference that the amount of crunch required for Baldur's Gate 3 was less than the studio's previous games, however, and he thinks some overtime is always required to complete a game. "Certainly less on Baldur's Gate 3 than we did in the past," Vincke said when asked if Larian employees had to crunch to finish development. "It would be a lie to say that we didn't. We had things happen that we didn't foresee." It would be a lie to say that we didn't. Vincke insisted employees, including himself, "didn't overly crunch" but "did have to do a bit" to wrap up Baldur's Gate 3. Employees would almost always leave by 8pm and worked at weekends "very, ...
