You’re a corpse in a space suit in forthcoming indie game Lonely Astronaut, and yet somehow you can still move around by farting out orange streams of jet propulsion. The creation of developers Greyson Richey and Nick Lives, it’s apparently a one-button arcade game that “highlights the sick joys of skeleton-thrusting”. The aim is not to die a second time while zooming around a cosmic graveyard full of asteroids, suns, and giant wormy space babies. If you play well enough you can earn cosmetics:

Chinese tech giant Tencent is set to publish a battle royale game called Europa, which features 100-player battles on an exotic island with a dynamic weather system and destructible cover. The Steam page is not available in English and Tencent has not explicitly referred to Europa as a battle royale game, but the Steam tags (Massively Multiplayer, Action, Shooter, Survival) suggest it will be a direct competitor to PUBG. And then there’s this tweet from Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad, who co

We weren’t big fans of Sonic Forces around here. Our review wasn’t particularly positive. One of the things it highlighted was that in this latest Sonic game you can play as your own customizable character, “straight outta DeviantArt” and that, “As you play you unlock a seemingly endless stream of clothes and accessories for your character, letting you cobble together some very silly outfits.” Those outfits are now even sillier since they’ve added the option to download a T-shirt for your in-gam

Japanese developer Nihon Falcom said in July that it wanted all its games on PC, and the following months showed that those weren’t just empty words. Now it’s the turn of Tokyo Xanadu eX+, a revamped version of a 2015 PlayStation Vita action-RPG. You play a high-school student in a modern-day section of Tokyo, but you’ll slip into a nightmare realm known as ‘Eclipse’, where you hack-and-slash your way through monsters. The Vita original has been reworked so it runs at 60fps, plus there’s new que

In April, Valve revealed that the platform was peaking at an average of 14 million concurrent users per day, which seemed to me like an incomprehensibly large number. In September it hit 15 million, in October 16 million, and yesterday it smashed through the 17 million mark, reaching a high of 17,686,886 players logged on at once. With nearly 3 million concurrent players yesterday, it made up a big chunk of the numbers. That’s remarkable considering that in September everyone was making impresse

PC gamers will spend a whopping $22bn on microtransactions in free-to-play games this year, double the figure from 2012 and nearly three times the revenue generated from full game purchases on PC and consoles combined. Additional content (including DLC) will raise $5bn. Both of those figures are on the rise, but they’re dwarfed by the money PC publishers and developers can make from microtransactions in free-to-play titles. The firm predicted that PC microtransactions from free-to-play games wil

Ubisoft is trialling a new player reporting system in Rainbow Six Siege in an attempt to stomp out “toxic behaviour” in the game. The system is only active in the technical test server for now, and for a user to be banned you’ll have to provide definitive proof that they’re behaving badly. It’s not fully clear what constitutes “toxic behaviour”: the game’s code of conduct lists things like harassment, discriminatory language and spamming in chat. Justin Kruger, a community developer at Ubisoft,

World of Warcraft: Classic wasn’t your traditional Blizzcon unveiling. “I am pleased, and also a little bit nervous to announce the development of a Classic server option for World of Warcraft,” he said. So if Nostalrius can get a vanilla version of Warcraft running with only a dozen developers and a fraction of the resources, why is Blizzard so cautious about World of Warcraft: Classic? Nostalria developerIf you’ve been around the World of Warcraft ecosphere for a while, Blizzard’s tentativenes

Little incentive in terms of loot rewards to complete Adventures or Strikes, despite these being some of the best-designed content in the game. Static perks on gear meaning duplicate drops are irrelevant once you hit max power. As we now know, those ideas didn’t make the console launch, and months later are still nowhere to be seen. Smith is a straight talker, and players need to hear from someone at the top to be reassured the game is on track. Mark Knowswothy, the other developer Smith referen

Creative Assembly—the UK-based studio behind Total War and the terrifyingly good Alien: Isolation—is developing a new, unannounced game. Details of three roles have popped up on the developer’s website; lead technical artist, senior meta game designer, and lead systems designer. While the advertisements aren’t giving too much away, the Lead Systems Designer specification details the core gameplay systems, “such as weapons, movement, abilities, gadgets, health and other underlying gameplay system

In Ninja Theory’s latest—and final—developer diary, the studio announced that Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice had successfully proven that there is indeed “a space between indie and AAA games that could work commercially.” “In the first week, we sold an amazing 250,000 units across PlayStation 4 and PC at $30,” said “product development ninja” Dominic Matthews, before confirming the game had now almost doubled that in the three months since launch. This meant the studio has smashed its plans to bre

Dead Space 2 is available now on Steam for just £2.49—but be quick; it won’t stay that price for long. Dead Space 2 sees you reprise your role as Systems Engineer Isaac Clarke three years after the horrific events on the USG Ishimura. The Dead Space bundle—which boasts the tense prequel, too—is available for just £3.74, a whopping 81 percent off its usual retail price. Last month EA closed Visceral Games, the studio behind Dead Space and Battlefield Hardline. In the words of one plucky commenter

A French senator has contacted France’s online gambling regulator detailing his concerns about the microtranactions in Star Wars Battlefront II. In reply to the senator, ARJEL’s Charles Coppolani stated that the concern he “had anticipated in 2016” presents “risks for our fellow citizens and in particular for the youngest. These risks are very close to those that characterise gambling addiction money; it is necessary to be very vigilant.” This is just one in a line of high profile political stat
