We Happy Few, the game about getting high and being happy in a not-quite-right alt-’60s England, has been available on Steam Early Access and GOG In Development for more than a year now. Full release is coming next year, Gearbox Publishing announced today, on April 13, 2018. Anyone who purchased We Happy Few prior to the increase will get the standard edition of the game, and the “Jolly Brolly” parasol weapon preorder bonus, for no extra cost. At Tier 10 and higher, all the physical swag include

You will never have to miss a Discord chat notification with the new Apex M750 mechanical keyboard from SteelSeries. “Streamers, gamers, and esports players can light up the new Apex M750 with customizable notifications that indicate new messages, mute status and more,” SteelSeries says. The Apex M750 is from “aerospace aluminum” and features SteelSeries’ own QX2 mechanical key switches. In any event, these are different than the QX1 switches found on some other SteelSeries keyboards, such as th

Stefano Valentini is a very bad artist. But what he does to create his masterpieces in the twisted realm of The Evil Within 2 is very bad indeed. It’s not easy being a serial killer in the real world, but in STEM, he can do as he pleases. Luckily for Stefano, he’s got backup. The Evil Within 2 comes out on October 13, which is a Friday.

Spend long enough within and you’ll likely be shot dead—assuming you don’t waste everyone else first. After a handful of single barefisted kills in almost 20 rounds, it was clear my strategy needed a drastic overhaul. Which to me of course translates to: If you can’t win, hide in the bushes. Maybe I should move ever so slightly to the left and—BLOODY HELL WHY AM I SO BAD AT THIS GAME?!!!! A bullet to the head and my indecision and cowardice has cost me, which feels like a fitting end to my bare-

Lian Li’s new PC-Q39 is one that does, however, while maintaining a relatively compact footprint measuring 252mm (W) x 348mm (H) x 346mm (D). Lian Li accomplishes this by going with a cube-shaped that has a wide secondary chamber behind the motherboard tray. Dedicated grommets allow builders to run liquid cooling tubes from the front to back. Not only does provide additional elbow room for liquid cooling configurations, it also allows it to house bigger components, such as a full-size ATX power

Researching which components to buy for a new PC build can be a tricky process, but what if someone else had already done it for you? Newegg’s “PC DIY Done Right” sale has cheap hardware across the board, and there are also full component combos you can buy to get everything you need for your next PC. There are also deals on individual components too, if you just need a little upgrade. Save on motherboards, processors, RAM, and everything else you need. This sale lasts all the way until August 2

Total War: Warhammer 2’s announcement trailer first aired back in March and—after showcasing High Elves, Dark Elves and Lizardmen at loggerheads—concluded with a rat nibbling on a corpse. Many speculated this, which features in the above trailer around the 2.28 mark, all but confirmed the Skaven as the turn-based-strategy’s then unannounced fourth race. Led to battle by Queek Headtaker and Lord Skrolk, the following cinematic shows the rat horde in blood-spilling action against the Lizardmen and

Bluehole has now stressed that the revised “Q4 2017” target is still on-track, but that weekly and monthly updates will be sidestepped in order to maintain a “high standard of quality.” “Until the official release of the game, we will not have our scheduled weekly or monthly patches rolling out as often as before,” reads the post. We want to put our best content out, and ensure that everything we do is making the game more enjoyable with every update.” Bluehole continues to say that while weekly

After reading Tom’s thoughts on XCOM 2’s War of the Chosen earlier this week, I feel a little overwhelmed. Until then, its ‘Propaganda Center’ photobooth feature can be downloaded now, free-of-charge, on Steam. Available to all, the Propaganda Center allows players to craft “war-and-meme worthy” posters using a variety of different backgrounds, soldier poses and filters. XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is due August 29. If you missed the link to Tom’s early thoughts above, let me redirect you here.

As far as I can recall, I wasn’t taken by Future Games’ Black Mirror when it arrived on European shores the following year. Black Mirror marks a reboot of the horror adventure series and is due November 28 this year. Here’s a trailer:”Even players unfamiliar with the previous games in the series can also enjoy Black Mirror,” so reads a statement from THQ Nordic. “The major difference between the new and old Black Mirror, apart from the modern graphics of course, will be a new gameplay element: i

Larian Studios, the studio responsible for Divinity: Original Sin and its forthcoming sequel, opened a survey earlier this year to get a read on its audience’s taste in RPGs. And as you might expect, the CRPG was the most preferred genre, with Action RPG and strategy games coming in second and third respectively. It’s not the most unexpected result, since Larian’s games are excellent CRPGs, but other insights are less obvious. This isn’t a result you’d expect from a more general audience, but th

Take this new Shadow of War trailer for instance: the amount of Orcs getting brutally maimed, face-smashed and lashed is actually very gruesome. This trailer showcases / celebrates / threatens with an Orc tribe known as Terror. Which, if you played Shadow of Mordor already, you’ll know has in-game ramifications. As master tormentors, the Terror tribe rely on their infamous reputations to inspire fear among their enemies. Shadow of War releases October 10.

SWERY, the creator, nay, genius behind Deadly Premonition, and more recently D4, is crowdfunding for a new “mystery RPG”. Dubbed The Good Life, it’s all about a small town in England whose inhabitants turn into cats during the night. “The game is set in Rainy Woods, the self-proclaimed ‘happiest town in the world’,” the description reads.” Here, you’ll play as Naomi, a photographer from New York who finds herself stuck in this small town in rural England. “It’s a mystery game based on the framew

Nightmarchers is a “post-apocalyptic open-world RPG shooter,” which in itself probably isn’t the most exciting amalgam of videogame concepts you’re going to hear about today. What makes it stand out is the promise of an “authentic Oahu and environments,” and of course the element of the supernatural brought into the real world. “With 500 square miles to explore, the game features beautiful ruins overgrown and reclaimed by 100 years of resurgent jungle in a post-apocalyptic Oahu.” More than 40 un

Yesterday, AMD’s long-awaited Vega architecture finally arrived in the form of the RX Vega 64, with the RX Vega 56 slated to arrive on August 28. Pricing is a bit of a mess, however, with the standalone RX Vega 64 basically MIA right now—I saw a $500 card at Newegg yesterday morning, but it has since disappeared. Not that it really matters, because all of the Vega 64 cards are currently out of stock. That’s better hashing performance than 170MH/s with six 1070 cards, but the 1070 rig would only

EVE: Valkyrie was announced in 2013 as a multiplayer space combat sim for the Oculus Rift, and as we noted in our review from last year, despite some shortcomings “it’s proper gasp-out-loud stuff.” But requiring a VR headset really puts a squeeze on the size of the audience it can reach, and so today CCP announced an upcoming major expansion called EVE: Valkyrie – Warzone that will make the game “perfectly playable on a TV or monitor.” “Once Warzone hits, you won’t need to have a VR headset to p

It took about as long for me to find a competitive Brood War match in Star Craft: Remastered as it did for me to get stomped. Otherwise, I’m doubtful that too many newcomers will stick around for repeated ass kickings—not when there are so many other, new competitive games to get into. For those who are serious about multiplayer StarCraft, though, I can’t see any reason why SC:Remastered isn’t a boon. This is a project for StarCraft fans that serves them whether they spend $15 or not, and makes

The Destiny 2 PC beta is on the way, as you may have heard—beginning August 28 for those who have preordered, August 29 for everyone else, and running through August 31. “In terms of the PC beta experience, you’ll be able to play the beta in stunning 4K, with uncapped framerates, a full suite of adjustable graphics settings, full keyboard and mouse support, and 21:9 monitor support,” Nvidia said in its introduction to the new 4K open beta trailer. “When you jump into the PC beta, you’ll be able

None of the last three big-budget immersive sims—Prey, Dishonored 2, and Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided—have broken a million sales on Steam. When Ion Storm’s third Thief and second Deus Ex game flopped, the studio closed. Despite the love and praise for games like Deus Ex, they’re not easy to sell to players. And then in 2011 Eidos Montreal’s prequel Deus Ex: Human Revolution came along, a true immersive sim and one with the Deus Ex name stamped across it. Designers talk immersive si
