I think fighting skeletons might be one of the most fundamental joys of video games. The more implausible its ambulation seems, the better, but I'm happy as long it clatters to the floor as a collection of distinct physics objects once I'm done.

From the former designers of CD Projekt Red, better known for their work on the Witcher game series and Cyberpunk 2077, comes a new dark and twisted fantasy RPG titled Dawnwalker.
The team has a new studio called Rebel Wolves , and the semi-newly formed studio has officially announced what their first project will be. The RPG doesn’t have too many details as of yet, but here is what we know so far.
The art style gives both Final Fantasy and a bit of The Witcher vibes, as it is both bright and dark somehow at the same time. In a recent press release, creative director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz states,
“We want to craft a world that you will want to explore and dive deep into and tell stories that make you care about the characters. We aim to deliver an experience that will allow for a variety of choices and room for experimentation when replayed.”
Though the developers did not share anymore information about the upcoming RPG at this time, they did post on X stating they are in fact working on Dawnwalker and will be providing more information down the line.

Bungie reveals that it is doubling the Glimmer cap for Destiny 2 players in a January 30 update, while also confirming that the ability to modify the appearance of existing characters is finally coming prior to The Final Shape. Player expression is a major component of Destiny 2, though it's not quite as robust as other RPG-style games. After creating a character, players really can only change the appearance of armor and weapons, with their character model typically hidden underneath. Still, Destiny 2 provides a ton of armor and weapon skins to customize for exotics, a transmog system for armor, as well as countless shaders which alter the colors of the gear it is applied to.
