Grounded’s Make It And Break It Update Details Revealed

Grinding Gear Games revealed the details for the upcoming Path of Exile Affliction league. It looks like a pretty big league overall with a slew of new features, content, and updates. The Affliction League itself adds the new Virdian Wildwood, where players can work their way through a mysterious forest to hunt down the source of the Affliction.

With Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen dropping its controversial 247 test mode, the Visionary Realms team is in the process of getting things back on track. In the just-released November Producer’s Letter, they cover development updates, recapping the month’s changes, and announcing an upcoming NDA-free event that will enable more peeks into the game next month.

Cult of the Lamb developer Massive Monster said last week that the upcoming Sins of the Flesh update, slated to go live in early 2024, will not be «the sex update.» But now it looks like maybe it will be.

On the surface, the adventures of a stoic monster-hunting hero exploring a grim fantasy world of dark magic and ancient lore might have little in common with a game like Destiny 2. But, when you look closer, it’s apparent that Destiny 2 and CD Projekt Red’s long-running The Witcher series have more in common than you might think.

The 2023 MAMA Awards, or Mnet Asian Music Awards, will take place this month at Japan’s Tokyo Dome. It will be a two-day event, where K-pop artists like ENHYPEN, Street Woman Fighter 2, TVXQ, ATEEZ, SEVENTEEN, ZEROBASEONE, and (G)I-DLE will perform.

Details on the pace of balance changes and base build updates for Lost Ark is the subject of a new devblog detailing how Smilegate RPG and Amazon Games work on the Western build. The post focuses on base build updates and why the pace of updates is sometimes slowed down. 

Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2, a remake of Konami’s classic psychological horror title, is in development. However, there haven’t been many big announcements for it in recent months. Its Steam page has seen updates, and Konami recently clarified that the leaked “special origin story” for Pyramid Head is “incorrect,” but nothing on a release date.

Along with detailing changes to the two upcoming Legacy Heists for Payday 3, community manager Elisabeth E. and lead producer Andreas Häll Penninger outlined the new Skill Line, Transporter.

We recently learned that The Last of Us Part 2 is on the way for the PS5, and it’ll bring plenty of new content for return players. A new post on the PlayStation Store shows a little more of what we can expect from the remaster.

I was just pondering writing something about Subnautica, inspired by revelations that there’s a new Subnautica project on the boil, and along comes the decidedly Subnautica-esque Honeycomb: The World Beyond with a trailer. Developed by Polish team Frozen Way, whose other projects include, erm, Hairdresser Simulator, it casts you as Hennessy, a human xenobiologist who is starting afresh on the alien planet of Sota7.

A brand new teaser for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live has dropped, and it looks like this spin-off may hold the key to some of our unanswered questions from the original show’s last few seasons. The teaser also reveals that the show will officially premiere on AMC on February 25, 2024.

With several big role-playing games releasing in Q1 2024, like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and potentially Dragon’s Dogma 2, it’s easy to forget Unicorn Overlord. Vanillaware’s tactical fantasy RPG is from the team behind 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and offers over 100 hours of content with more than 60 playable characters.
