Curious little turn-based medieval strategy game Rising Lords musters for a January release
29.12.2023 - 00:42 / pcgamer.com
Turn-based strategy game Rising Lords will release on January 18, 2024 after nearly three years in Early Access. The hybrid of PC turn-based strategy with more traditional board game and card game design focuses around strategically expanding a medieval fiefdom's economy while raising armies to defend yourself against—or conquer—your neighbors.
Writing in the magazine back in 2019, Andy Kelly called said that he was «immediately struck by how nice Rising Lords looks and feels» and that it moved «like a medieval tapestry come to life.»
Rising Lords focuses on manipulating your realm to output the resources you need to prosper, focusing on the balance of building up fortified cities and castles with training and equipping armies of soldiers. The battles are extremely tactically-focused, with troop types countering each other over terrain modifiers, while a card-based skill system boosts troop morale and broadens what they can accomplish in the field.
Rising Lords will launch with a full campaign mode and skirmish battles for singleplayer, but also looks to have a pretty robust multiplayer mode with up to four people taking simultaneous turns. That's a big plus for a complex game like this one if you've got a group that enjoys multiplayer rounds of chunky turn-based strategy and board games.
Rising Lords is developer Argonwood's first game, and it's a pretty big game for a novice studio. That said, they did hit their goal: They said in their Early Access description they wanted to release in the first quarter of 2024, and they're right on the money with that target.
You can find Rising Lords on Steam for US $20, 25% off until January 4th. It's in Early Access now, and will release its full version on January 18, 2024.

Logan Paul's NFT zoo catastrophe takes an unexpected turn: He's buying back the eggs and suing his co-founders
One of the last things I did in 2023 was round-up the year's crypto fails, during which I checked-in on an old favourite. In late 2021 mega-influencer Logan Paul, now probably best-known for the PRIME energy drink range and his burgeoning WWE career, began promoting a blockchain project called CryptoZoo, a videogame where players would buy NFT eggs, hatch them into animals, breed them, trade them, and so on.

Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater remakes listed for 2024 release
Did we put the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Silent Hill 2 remakes on that list of our most anticipated games of 2024? The article is so voluminous I’m not sure I have the energy to check. I get halfway down the page and feel like I need to pitch camp below one of the paragraph breaks, like a mountaineer sleeping beneath a crag in one of those dangling tents. Assuming we didn’t, both have been slated for 2024 release by the PlayStation blog.

Toxic posts: Elon Musk’s X corp fails to block California content moderation law
Elon Musk's X Corp. lost its effort in court to block a California law that seeks to control toxic posts on social media by requiring companies to disclose their content-moderation polices. In an eight-page ruling Thursday, a federal judge in Sacramento rejected arguments by the company formerly known as Twitter that the measure violates the free-speech rights of social media platforms. The ruling comes after Musk ignited a firestorm in November by endorsing antisemitic posts on his platform. X Corp. Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino scrambled to contain the fallout after major advertisers like Sony, Discovery, Apple and CBS stopped or paused spending on the site.
