Medieval strategy RPG Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord has just launched an extensive new beta built on player feedback. It’s been four months since Taleworlds Entertainment launched its waterborne War Sails expansion, which has so far struggled to match up to the level of affection that the base game earned. In that time, the team has been studying “what’s working and what isn’t,” and has delivered a wide range of changes in these new Mount and Blade 2 patch notes, which encompass both the base game and its DLC. “Our immediate focus remains on the War Sails expansion,” the Mount…

2024’s Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars remaster is a broadly well-regarded revival of a classic point-and-click adventure, enjoying overwhelmingly positive Steam reviews even with its use of AI upscaling. But for the devs at Revolution Software, AI was more trouble than it’s worth. They’re ditching the tech for the upcoming remaster of the sequel, and judging by the success their Kickstarter has already seen, fans are happy about the transition.”This game has over 55,000 unique frames of animation, and is created by a team of talented classical animators who have redrawn and reanimated this game frame by frame,” Revolution…

Seeing developers leave a job they love always hurts, and yet I didn’t expect the latest Lost Ark roadmap video to hit me quite this hard. Recent restructuring at Amazon Games saw two of the faces of the MMORPG, community manager Roxanne Sabo and producer Henry Stelter, both depart the company. That left just one member of its regular front-of-camera crew behind, franchise lead Matt Huston, to deliver what he says will be the last video roadmap as the team switches to text articles for the foreseeable future. The three-person team had a great dynamic, and I always looked forward…

Skull Horde, the dungeon-crawling, minion-raising autobattler from Bore Blasters devs 8BitSkull, is out today. I like, it, mostly – maybe not as much as Alice B (RPS in peace) appreciated its predecessor’s helicopter-mining, but then there’s enough meat on Skull Horde’s magic bones to distinguish it as more than just another Vampire Survivors reanimation. As the decapitated head of an expired necromancer, you won’t be doing the monsterslaying yourself: that’s what your growing army of equally gross minions is for. On each stage of a run, you’ll invest in new underlings (with trios of each type combining into single, more…

Want to know how the Overwatch ranks work? To compete with the best players, you must climb the Overwatch ranks by winning ranked matches. If you’re brand new to Overwatch, you will have to play 20 unranked games in either standard or Stadium before you’re allowed to compete. We should note that your Overwatch rank doesn’t carry over between Competitive and Stadium in the free PC game – it doesn’t matter if you’re Top 500 in Stadium, you could be placed in Bronze in Competitive. Here’s everything you need to know about Overwatch ranks, including how many skill divisions there…

Slay the Spire 2 has released a brand new beta patch, and so far it seems to have gone down a hit because that damn Living Fog enemy has rightfully been nerfed.The full list of patch notes was released onto the Steam news page for Slay the Spire 2, with developer Mega Crit detailing “two major changes” to the leaderboards as a highlight of the patch – those being only showing your friends scores to avoid cheaters filling it up, and a change to the daily run scoring system – but there’s plenty of balance changes too, which are the…

Yo ho, me hearties. Windrose, the co-op pirate survival game which lured plenty of folks aboard its demo decks in the Steam Next Fest earlier this year, is set to launch into early access next week. Better start practicing those shanties and, er, preparing to stab a giant flower once you’ve fought weird plague creatures.
