Microsoft has now completed its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard and taken ownership of a raft of huge gaming properties, not least among them Activision’s Call of Duty series. Microsoft is now theoretically free to add all Activision Blizzard games to its Game Pass subscription service on Xbox and PC. With the release of of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on Nov. 10 edging ever closer, it’s natural to wonder when Call of Duty games — this latest installment in particular — will hit Game Pass.
Defend your interstellar factory when Dyson Sphere Program gets combat this December
23.09.2023 - 22:43 / pcgamer.com / This December
A new trailer from Gamera Games came out of Tokyo Game Show this week, showing off a new look at combat gameplay in Youthcat Studio's interstellar factory-builder and giving a release date: December 2023 will be when the Rise of the Dark Fog update releases for free to all owners of Dyson Sphere Program. A second, longer trailer also released goes more in-depth with gameplay footage of the Icarus robot defending its factory from attack.
The trailer shows off features like different types of turrets, expansion to new worlds, planetary defense shields, attacking Dark Fog-held worlds, Dark Fog spcae stations, automatic rebuilding via drone, and more.
A variety of enemies have also been revealed. The Dark Fog will both deploy swarming units to planetary surfaces, apparently in several airborne varieties requiring different strategies to defeat, and launch fleets of ships from its space hives to bombard your factories with lasers from orbit. Defending against those will require planetary defense shields, which can be built and expanded until they cover entire worlds.
It's actually kind of exciting as someone who was initially skeptical about adding a real-time strategy element to Dyson Sphere Program, a game I mostly enjoyed because of the sprawling connection of logistics it let me create. The auto-rebuild is pretty high on my list of things I'd need to enjoy it at all.
«Even if defenses fail and multiple production lines are destroyed, you don't have to panic about losing facilities they’ve spent a lot of time building. They can simply upgrade the „Auto-Rebuild“ technology. Provided they have sufficient items, drones will automatically reconstruct the destroyed buildings, which will gradually return to normal operating conditions after reconstruction,» says Youthcat Studio in their update.
For a deeper look into the combat you can check out the longer gameplay video, which has some really cheesy narration dialogue that can be hard to stomach, but does show off specific systems in action like Gauss, Implosion, and Laser defense turrets.
That also shows of «supernova» mode, which is apparently an activated buff that speeds up the power of your defensive towers to fend off particularly potent waves of enemies. The developers describe it as a «large-scale fireworks display.»
You can see both trailers and read the announcement for Dyson Sphere Program's Rise of the Dark Fog update on Steam.

If you could create the next One Piece or Naruto, here’s your chance
Eiichiro Oda was 17 when he sold his first manga one-shot, opening the door for his now 26-year run with One Piece. Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto had a similar trajectory from one-shot to serialization, while Noriaki Kubo’s one-shot work led him to eventually create the mega-successful Bleach. All three legendary creators owe some success to former Weekly Shonen Jump editor-in-chief Hisashi Sasaki, who was on constant prowl for the next big mangaka. And now, Sasaki is turning his attention to the United States to do the same for Western artists looking for their big break.

Dustborn is a Story-Driven Road Trip that Turns Your Gameplay Choices into a Customised Comic Book
Dustborn appears to be many things. It’s a road tripping adventure across an alternate United States that involves maintaining relationships between the members of a rebel gang posing as a rock group, and staying off the radar of an oppressive police force called Justice. It’s a rhythm action game, requiring you to tap buttons in time with on screen prompts to sing along with the car radio or complete performances with your band. In some instances, it’s a Streets of Rage-inspired beat ‘em up that lets you take a baseball bat to hordes of robot soldiers. Yet all the while, Dustborn is also a comic book that your decisions are helping to shape on the fly.
