Lethal Company’s first update in months makes it harder to be a shovel-armed killing machine or speedrunner

Alien-infested submarine sim Barotrauma has received a chunky update, bringing two new-ish monsters into its lethal aquatic world. The shrimp-looking Mantis may be recognisable to veterans (it once appeared in pre-Steam builds). And the Viperling is a venomous variant of the existing Spineling (a thorny seaworm with hull-piercing porcupine-like spikes). But don't worry, the medical systems have also seen a "mini-rework", which means drugs like morphine are "less of a 'solution for everything'". Wait. What?

, the long-running post-apocalyptic franchise's online multiplayer title, has seen a major resurgence, largely due to the success of Amazon's TV series, and tie-in promotions that gave the game away for free to Prime Gaming subscribers, or at a heavily discounted price to other players. With the game's player base larger than ever, now's a perfect time for Bethesda's latest update to the game, which expands the map and adds several new features.

The Doom speedrunning community has been turned upside down recently after a 26-year-old world record was beaten by just one second. 

After more than three years, a Skyrim speedrunner has figured out how to kill the infamous Ebony Warrior in a new world record-setting run, and they think they can push the envelope even further.

The wait for more content may be coming to an end as creative director and Bethesda Game Studios boss Todd Howard clarifies what the community can expect going forward. Following the sci-fi RPGs admittedly rocky launch in late 2023, the developer has been slow to respond to player feedback, promising that several massive content patches were in the pipeline but never confirming when they were expected to launch. Following the most recent update's disappointing reception, players have been pushing Bethesda for more insight on 's future and the studio has finally provided an inkling.

Sometimes, fans aren't happy with the officially-sanctioned remasters of favorite games or are waiting eagerly for one that may never exist at all. Luckily, modding communities for PC games make it possible to "remaster" games yourself.

This month, the “Darkness Unleashed” Update arrives in Arkesia, and with it the Thaemine Legion Raid, new Transcendence progression system, Veskal Guardian Raid, and so much more!

The first big update, Ghost Galleon, has hit Witchfire. Though the game isstill in Early Access, the update brings a plethora of new content for players to conquer. 

EA Motive's upcoming game may still be a ways off but the studio wants everyone to know that its development is coming along swimmingly, offering an encouraging update on the project. Tony Stark and his hyper-advanced suit of armor have a history in video games but generally speaking, the Avenger has never really excelled in the medium outside of a few crossover games like and. Fortunately for Iron Man fans, he'll hopefully soon get his due if production on his latest games continues to go smoothly.

This month's RPS Game Club pick is Lethal Company, the indie co-op horror game where you must collect scrap for a mysterious Company or face the ultimate penalty... being fired.

The Butler is a new monster inand one of the most humanoid entities you can encounter on a salvage run. It is a round figure with a gray overcoat and red bow tie. It has short black hair and a face resembling a blob fish. They are described as smelling of rotten meat and act as a lurking threat within the halls of the moon's facility.

The Purple Man, one of Marvel's most despicable villains, uses his mind-control powers to manipulate and mastermind every manner of evil act. And now, he's stolen Eddie Brock's Venom symbiote in a new flashback story written by Venom co-creator Dave Michelinie himself.
