Sintopia, the very Bullfroggy strategy management game from developers Piraknights and publishers Team 17, will release on April 16th. I compared this one to The Screwtape Letters back at announcement, but the more obvious, gamer-brain pitch is that it’s Black & White sitting on top of Dungeon Keeper. That is, a god sim parked on top of a management game, albeit with a greater emphasis on automation than you might recall from Bullfrog’s heyday. In Sintopia, you are the middle manager of Hell. Above you, there is a bucolic, self-sufficient realm of weirdly plant-based humans, all going about…
Daniel Vávra is not one to shy away from discussing controversial topics.

Today, Epic announced that it’s laying off more than 1,000 employees. Alongside that news, the studio also revealed that it’s killing three Fortnite game modes: Rocket Racing, Ballistic, and Battle Stage. Rocket Racing is particularly notable, since it was one of the key pillars of Epic’s original push into a multi-game metaverse.”We’ve built a lot of Fortnite modes, and in some cases we failed to build something awesome enough to attract and retain a large player base,” the company says in its announcement, adding that it’s “grateful for everyone who played.”Rocket Racing will go offline in October 2026.

Epic Games have announced that they’re laying off over 1000 staff today, March 24th. In the wake of that news, the publishers have announced that three Fortnite modes are being permanently sunsetted.

Verdict If you have $200 budgeted for your next gaming CPU, buy the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus.
