According to Alinea's newsletter by Rhys Elliott, Saros has sold over 300k copies in its first two weeks of release, bringing in about $22m in revenue for Housemarque and Sony, a small dent in its report $76 million budget.

Road to Vostok is a post-apocalyptic single-player survival game that has secured the entire production budget for years to come within just 24 hours of its launch.

A new trailer put out by Warner Bros has confirmed the game's new release date will be May 22nd, a full week ahead of its originally planned May 29 launch date. The company has also confirmed that those who buy the deluxe edition of the game will now receive early access starting May 19.

Liminal spaces and the "backrooms" have become overused concepts on the internet, with people labeling any room or area that is even slightly off as some creepy space. It's annoying and tiring. But I still like the idea of eerie, dead areas hidden in our world in places like forgotten hallways and empty hotel rooms. I also like fast-paced boomer shooters that feel great.

Has there ever been a better time to be a PC gamer than right now? Sure, the sheer number of games available to play made deciding on one hard, but whether you're sitting down in front of a custom-built gaming rig or you've purchased a handheld PC for some bedtime fun, there's bound to be something that catches your eye.

"Baldur's Gate 3 was a good game and I'm proud of it, but I think this one is going to be way better," Vincke told Bloomberg this week. One challenge during its development was taking the existing rule set for Wizards of the Coast's pen-and-paper RPG and adapting it to a video game. "Here, we're making a system that's made for a video game. It's much easier to understand," he explained.

We are truly sorry for the last-minute announcement. After thoughtful consideration, we feel it's best for the game and the community. This year, we ran many playtests with friends and fans, and we were confident that we could improve the game enough in time for December. In the lead-up to Early Access release, we broadened our playtests with a more varied playerbase, and the latest feedback we received made us realise the game isn't up to the standard we wanted it to meet for release.

As we wrap up our work on Hyper Light Breaker, we've had to make the difficult decision to part with a number of talented team members. This was not our ideal path, but rather the only one available given the circumstances. While this path will include a conclusion on the project, it reflects broader forces beyond our control, including shifts in funding, corporate consolidation and the uncertain environment many small studios like us are navigating today.

It's a skateboarding game with a unique control scheme meant to replicate the feeling of skating more accurately than something as arcadey as the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series. Players use the analog sticks to control their feet and body, allowing them fine control over flipping the board under them, and pulling off other complex stunts. The result is a game that perfectly captures the expressive, at times, meditative side of the sport.

Although the skateboarding feels good, most players don't love the Fortnite-ification (or the copious microtransactions and Sims-esque looking character models) of the iconic skate sim. The developers at Full Circle have heard these complaints about the high-contrast visuals and, with the imminent launch of Season 1, will address the game's look to feel "more grounded and lived in." In a lengthy X post, Full Circle reiterated that the look of the game is ever-evolving.

Riot's long-awaited fighting game 2XKO, previously called Project L, will be released for PC as an early access title on October 7. That's just two weeks away. The company dropped a development update video that's filled with nods to the source material. 2XKO is set in the League of Legends universe and features many characters from across the franchise. Players can fight as icons like Jinx, Yasui, Braum and many more.
