Cities Skylines 2 DLC has been delayed to prioritise fixing the base game

One of the more surprising announcements at The Game Awards was that God of War Ragnarok would receive free DLC, specifically a separate rogue-lite mode. Valhalla is an epilogue to the base game, but as per the PlayStation Blog, players can jump in at any time, regardless of upgrades and story progress. Finish the story is recommended, though.

I’ve collected video game delay notices like Christmas candy, and today I have one more to shove in the stocking. The Alone in the Dark remake has been delayed once more until early next year — but the reason should leave most feeling jolly.

Originally scheduled for an October 2023 release, developer Pieces Interactive and publisher THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot was delayed into January of next year to avoid a clash with other major games releasing around its original release date. With a little over a month left until its launch though, the survival horror title has been hit with another delay.

To be fair, video game developers do deserve to enjoy a stress-free holiday season while they're crafting a new survival-horror experience.

For fans of the Alone in the Dark franchise, it’s been a bit of a waiting game on a new installment. The last mainline installment release came in 2015 with Alone in the Dark: Illumination. However, due to fans not taking up with the game, Atari SA sold the rights to the IP, with THQ Nordic being the new owner. They unveiled that a new game would be coming out, and it was expected to be released in January of next year. But now it looks to be a bit further into the upcoming year. THQ Nordic has unveiled that they are moving the game back for the development team.

THQ Nordic has delayed its Alone in the Dark reboot for a second time.

A few days ago, we reported on a potential roster leak for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. Today one of those character names was directly confirmed.

The first GTA 6 trailer will release next week, Rockstar has confirmed.

City builder fans got into a bit of a tizzy after one questionable comment from Mariina Hallikainen, CEO of developer Colossal Order, suggested that players would just have to get used to the gameplay issues of Cities: Skylines 2.

Level-5’s output has been a bit inconsistent in recent years, but the Japanese developer does have some promising games in the pipeline. For instance, earlier this year, it announced DECAPOLICE, a detective RPG set in a futuristic, crime-ridden city. And though originally the game was set to launch later in 2023, Level-5 has now announced that it has been delayed.

A lot of hype and work is being put on the next major DLC for Destiny 2. The game developers are likely rather stressed to ensure that this DLC delivers in a big way. In the past, we’ve reported about the rumors of this expansion being basically a make-or-break moment. Then, several rumors suggested that Bungie was internally setting this game further back to ensure they had enough time to make this an expansion that would see players returning to the game again. Now it’s official as Bungie decided to reveal that The Final Shape is being delayed.

has had a rocky launch, with multiple bugs and problems arising in the game that required its developers to rush in putting out patches to repair everything. Now, the previously announced roadmap of planned DLC for the coming year is going to be facing delays, but this is a good thing for fans of the city-building game. As many have already pointed out, perhaps the entire launch of would have benefited from being delayed as well, so extending the roadmap for additional content seems like a wise choice.
