🕷️ Araneo in ARK: Survival Ascended got a full TLC rework, chosen by the community during Extra Life. It's not just a visual tweak: behavior, hunting mechanics and its ecological role have been rebuilt.
No longer a niche critter: UPGRADED movement and new saddles turn it into a rideable tactical predator/support. The web is now controllable, use it for crowd control, traps and mobility in ambushes, adding real tools for both PvE and PvP.
⚡️ Darkstone, a 3D Diablo‑like ARPG from 1999, is getting a remaster by Delphine Software led by the original creator Paul Cusse.
Once pitched as Diablo's rival, Darkstone stood out with weird but brutal mechanics: an aging system (stats degrade over time) and proper survival elements, you must keep your character fed or they starve. That turns loot runs into a tense resource race; a CLASSIC that still bites. 🔥
👀 Alir says Uncharted could be announced next week, the same insider who nailed the State of Play date dropped the tip.
RUMORS about a second secret project go back to 2025. Alir claims Sean Escayg (back after The Lost Legacy) is likely leading it, with Neil Druckmann attached as producer‑mentor; Escayg's recent post captioned «Исследование...» over a scenic shot has fans hyped.
🎮 Replaced launches April 14 on PC and Xbox Series. Price is set at $20 / €20 with regional pricing; the Steam page is live (including Russia), so players hope for a more affordable tag.
Devs confirmed full Steam Deck support. It's a moody 2.5D action‑platformer set in an alt‑1980s America, inspired by Octopath Traveler and Limbo. LOOKS SLICK
😑 ARC Raiders players are up in arms: AI is spotting and shredding raiders from hundreds of meters, turning fights into unpredictable and often unfair encounters.
Reports include a Bastion opening fire from over 400 meters, enemies on Cosmoport reacting long before contact, and Rocketers sprinting across open ground to close gaps. A similar bug was fixed quickly before, so the community expects Embark Studios to push a hotfix ASAP, no ETA yet, but everyone agrees this is BULLSHIT.
⚡️ Vaultbreakers now lets you pick difficulty and splits modes: Adventure, chill PvE co‑op, Core, tougher PvE with rarer loot and extra challenges, Breaker, full PvPvE with higher stakes and bigger rewards.
FINALLY you can ease into the game: PvE progression is intentionally slower, while Breaker has raised XP requirements so progression pace and balance stay intact as risk and rewards increase.
⚡️ Crown of Greed got an UPDATE 1.0.5, critical fixes, smarter AI, improved stability and scenario tweaks across Rodovia.
The big one: reworked building placement, no more placing structures on water, mountains or inside dense forests. Collision fixes should stop heroes from getting stuck, merchants now buy smarter (they consider class, stats and gear), and city routines feel more natural. Fixed save/load issues (wrong difficulty on load), heroes skipping high‑tier gear, and an arena bug that could break future hiring. Scenario fixes include New Frontier (overwhelming waves), Sins of the Ancestors (visual/logic bugs, dialog hangs, frozen lake) and The Creaking Hut (Baba‑Yaga quests, side‑quest progress and dialogs). 🛠️
⚠️ Cygames suspended pro player MURA from the roster for Shadowverse Premier Series 26-27 after a live stream in which he allegedly defamed other players and suggested the draft was rigged.
MURA was picked during the online draft on 3 April 2026, but Cygames slapped him with an indefinite ban from official events and barred private Shadowverse streams and monetization until 31 March 2027. Japanese fans are split, some applaud the firm stance, others call the punishment excessive. BANNED 😬
🔥 Road to Vostok sold over 100,000 copies, confirmed by solo Finnish dev Antti Leinonen.
The post‑apocalyptic survival shooter set on the Finland, Russia border is enjoying strong traction: peak daily online sits at 6300 thousand, Twitch streams topped over 31,000 viewers, and the dev expects another 2-4 years in Early Access to properly polish mechanics. CRAZY 🔥
⚠️ Digital Foundry tore into the Starfield launch on PS5 and PS5 Pro, the build is RAW: on the base PS5 the 60 FPS mode runs at 1080p but collapses to ~30 FPS in cities, losing ground to the Xbox Series X.
The PS5 Pro offers up to 24 setting combos: its performance mode beats Xbox by roughly 10 FPS, yet does so at native 900p and with PSSR visual glitches. The real killer is stability, both Sony boxes suffer crashes and freezes. Long story short: the potentially best console version currently plays like a compromise and desperately needs hotfixes.
