Hello everybody! This is Edwin, your resident news-wrangler. I've been in this glorious job for a whole two weeks now, and alas it is time to say goodbye... because I'm off on holiday. Genius-level journostrategist that I am, I managed to book a week away walking in Scotland during Gamescom before landing the gig, and I can't rebook without incurring the everlasting hatred of Caledonian Sleeper. I do have a few under-embargo stories and a review going live next week, but beyond that I'll be up a mountain somewhere until 29th August. Apologies - if you're up that neck of the woods and we happen to sight each other on opposing hillsides, I'll try to bellow something about Starfield.
Before I go, though, I wanted to check in about this whole "news" concept that's doing the rounds. The past two weeks have essentially been an exercise in tentatively pressing buttons and apologising to Katharine when half the website backend catches fire. I've tried to put together a fun mixture of stories - I particularly enjoyed the chat below yesterday's musings about pacifism - but I've mostly been settling in, and dealing with such evergreen journamalism questions as whether companies are singular or plural, and what proportion of any given article should consist of begging Blackbird Interactive to reveal something else about Homeworld 3.
It's not till today that the RPS editors have had a chance to gather together (think of the opening scene from Macbeth) and discuss what the site's approach to news-gathering should be. What specifically should we cover, and how should we go about it? There are some obvious broad directions we'd like to take: more original, interview-led reporting; more posts about unusual, or undiscovered games; good quality editorial on current events. But above all, we'd like to hear from you.
So, if you have time and energy after a hard week spent playing Baldur's Gate 3, or being at work while wishing you were playing Baldur's Gate 3, or losing your temper because every game website is fixated with Baldur's Gate 3, please consider lobbing a few ideas into the howling comments-void below. I should add: I am having enormous fun writing for RPS, and a significant component of that is writing for the ancient and incredibly storied RPS community. I'm very intrigued to read what you, specifically, want from a games journalism outlet in 2023.
Anyway, the mountain calls and I must away. Stay safe! I'll see you all on the other side of Gamescom.

Drown this vicious killer in her own blood.
Starfield has a lot of quests for players to find and complete, with some having multiple outcomes. For The Showdown quest, this involves deciding which gang you want to side with.
Wordle 807 answer for September 4: This week's first Wordle puzzle is relatively easy, and has a straightforward solution. As always, players do not have access to any hints or clues and must solve Wordle on their own. In that case, guessing the first letter becomes crucial, as it becomes the first clue. Today's word is easy, however, the letters are tricky. And of course, you will not want to lose because of a small mistake.
Starfield offers a seemingly endless array of sights and activities, but spending time on New Atlantis can be just as rewarding as venturing into the great void. Wandering the streets will let you overhear NPCs talking, and this can lead to small side quests that are well worth doing. Tapping The Grid is one such quest.
Playing Armored Core 6: Fire of Rubicon on PC? You may want to ensure you've saved and closed your game before your PC slips into sleep mode.
Not everything has to be a big deal in Starfield. Sure, there are mysterious artefacts, terrifying alien species, and pirates looking to separate your head from your body, but sometimes helping USEC keep the peace is on your list of things to do. Heading to New Atlantis and popping into the local UC Security Building will get you started.
The Heirloom is a visually stunning paranormal game, brimming with mystery and puzzles for you to navigate and solve. Inspired by the Hebrides archipelago and Scottish Folklore, you can drive your own story with decision-based progression, which has a drastic impact on your overall playthrough.
Fans have long argued that wrestling games peaked in the N64 era with titles like WWF No Mercy, but no modern developer has managed to properly capitalize on that nostalgia. An upcoming indie game called Ultra Pro Wrestling might be set to change that.
Three things are always in your future: death, taxes, and yet another version of Skyrim. It seems Bethesda boss Todd Howard is in on the joke, even when he's writing internal messages to the rest of the dev team.
New World: Rise of the Angry Earth has officially been unveiled, with the expansion coming on October 3rd, 2023. The expansion was announced back in February, and the MMO has been laying the groundwork in recent updates, with Amazon Games cutting off one of the first regions of Aeternum, First Light. Picking up the narrative, Adiana has effectively erected a Bramble Wall, barring entry into the region. Rise of the Angry Earth finally showcases what has been happening behind that wall all this time: Artemis has transformed First Light into a new region called Elysian Wilds.
