⚡️Jason Blundell has launched MagicFractal, and his line is simple: "third time's the charm."
A week after Dark Outlaw Games folded, Blundell told JC Farmer on stream that he's starting a new studio; no concrete info on projects yet. Known for Call of Duty Zombies, he left Treyarch in 2020 and led Deviation Games and Dark Outlaw Games, neither shipped a title. Fans hope this will be the FINALLY moment he delivers something worth the wait.
👀 Shaun Escayg, director on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, posted an image fans read as a tease for a new Uncharted.
The Instagram post (owner, Meta, designated extremist and banned in Russia) shows a gun aimed at a coastal town with the caption «Research...», and users say it looks like location scouting. No official confirmation; in May Neil Druckmann said Naughty Dog is working on another game and he's mostly a producer. The last franchise release was the 2017 spin‑off Lost Legacy. HYPE
Hypervisor-based hackers have stripped Denuvo off two major releases, Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin and Final Fantasy Tactics, The Ivalice Chronicles 🔓
The specialized group says the bypass method leaves anti-tamper systems dangerously exposed, opening the door to the "green store" for most current releases. Realms of Ruin is a large-scale fantasy RTS from Frontier Developments set in the Games Workshop universe; The Ivalice Chronicles is a modernised 1998 classic from Square Enix that preserves Yasumi Matsuno's script. FREEBIES?
You're being charged $2,000, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 jumped almost 50% 😬
At launch in Oct 2025 the base model was $1,099 and the higher-tier $1,350; now prices sit at $1,500 and $1,999 (+36%, +48%). Both remain OOS and Lenovo hasn't commented. Buyers are eyeing alternatives, ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X $999 and Steam Deck OLED 1 TB $649, and the likely culprit is an industry RAM shortage.
⚡️Everwind rolled out a major update, a big bugfix and QoL patch plus several system improvements that are currently in testing.
What's changed or incoming: crafting from nearby chests, block rotation in build mode and fast-travel nodes. Chest naming is live (names show on the compass), skill-reset potion accessibility was improved, runes rebalanced, ingot recipes added in-game, enemy resistances and drops corrected, some recipes reworked, and several staves/grimoires gained extra uses. Island Core UI got polish, building elements allow more direct interaction, and critical host/connection and multiplayer spawn bugs (including issues with large ships) were fixed. Bottom line, building and resource management get EASIER.
Devs of Last Epoch dropped the lore for the new Omens in season four, Shattered Omens, void-born entities spawned from moments of utter despair 🕳️
Omens are tied directly to the Observer's descent and his transformation into Orobissa. Their arrival spreads hopelessness: nearby foes get buffed, they summon void beings and warp the battlefield. There are 4 variants, fire, ice, lightning, void, each rooted in tragic visions and bringing distinct damage profiles and nasty tactical headaches.
Big update in Rust: new build pieces, a reworked tech tree and a fresh power source, the water wheel that generates electricity from currents (freshwater output is steadier, ocean output depends on tides).
The Armoured Ladder Hatch arrived: an armored ladder‑hatch unlocked at the 3rd tech level, available in square and triangle shapes. The wheel can be placed in rivers or the ocean and, by abusing mechanics, players can force enemies to run in it like SQUIRRELS to produce power. Tech progression got QoL: pick any node and the game auto-unlocks required intermediate recipes, so progression is way simpler. WILD 🐿️
⚡️ WILD roguelike slasher Morbid Metal lands in Early Access on April 8, published by Ubisoft, developed by SCREEN JUICE.
Set in a bleak future: swap characters on the fly, chain unique abilities into brutal combos, and upgrade between runs, but death wipes the run's progress. Launch price is $13.49 (then $17.99). PC only on Steam, no Russian localization, demo available. Started as a university project, grew into a full game, get ready to tear robots apart. 🔥
⚡️ Behaviour Interactive says Dead by Daylight won't get a sequel, the studio will keep it alive as a service.
At GDC in a talk with IGN, Mathieu Cote and Dave Richard said they'll roll out updates, crossovers and gradual tech improvements instead of a new game: players have already invested time and money, the team doesn't want to split support between two titles, and big graphical/platform jumps could ditch users with weak hardware. They'd rather KEEP the current game running into the next decade.
🤯 Crimson Desert surprised the environment artist behind Red Dead Redemption 2, David O'Reilly says in his teardown that the game's water simulation looks, in many ways, better than the rivers he built at Rockstar.
He stresses he's judging as an artist, not a coder: the visuals show cascades, slow zones, pools and a tendency for water to seek horizontal equilibrium, behavior closer to real hydrodynamics. Rather than baked flowmaps, Crimson Desert uses a live sim reminiscent of FLIP, adapted for real‑time with a simplified vertical axis; Pearl Abyss hasn't revealed tech details, so O'Reilly's conclusions come from visual analysis, and it's honestly MIND-BLOWING
