Developer Mojang has revealed the three candidates for this year's Minecraft mob vote, and it seems like it'd be a pretty even match if not for the promise of dog armor.

A Fallout 3 Remaster and an Oblivion Remaster are two of a series of projects reportedly leaked from improperly redacted court documents from Microsoft's case against the FTC.
In a tweet this morning, The Verge reporter Tom Warren noted that "a massive amount of highly confidential and unredacted Microsoft docs have leaked as part of the FTC vs Microsoft case. They were attached to a single file and incorrectly hidden and posted publicly."
One of those attachments is a "title release schedule," shared to Resetera. The document, which features release dates as far back as Doom Eternal's launch in 2020, is clearly a few years old, as it features a Starfield launch window of 2021. There are also references to 'Project Hibiki', which became Hi-Fi Rush, which appears to have moved from a late-2021 release to early 2023.
As the list moves through 2022 and 2023, it starts to feature evidence of upcoming releases. As well as the new Indiana Jones game and the first Starfield expansion, there "Oblivion Remaster" listed as part of the 2022 financial year. Obviously that didn't come about, but the adjusted release dates in this document mean that it's likely to have been pushed back in line with Starfield.
2023's plans also feature a third Doom game, dubbed 'Year Zero', which would explain what iD Software has been up to since Doom Eternal and Quake Champions. Two unnamed projects, dubbed Kestrel and Platinum, also feature in the 2023 plans.
Xbox was seemingly planning a massive 2024, with The Elder Scrolls 6, a Fallout 3 remaster, a sequel to Ghostwire : Tokyo, Dishonored 3, and an unnamed "licensed IP game" all on the docket for the year. Again, the knock-on impact of delays across the rest of the company - several of them likely attributable in some way to pandemic-era disruption - have clearly changed those plans substantially; just yesterday, court documents suggested we shouldn't expect The Elder Scrolls 6 until 2026 at the earliest.
With that in mind, there's a certain degree of skepticism worth attaching to this document. Even the best-laid corporate plans are subject to change, and while some or all of these projects may have been intended, there's no guarantee that they've yet made it to the production phase, or that they'll ever see the light of day.

Back in the good old days of Bethesda RPGs (and I'm talking about Oblivion, Skyrim, and the Fallout games) when you killed a fool you could loot them of all their stuff. And I mean everything! Not just weapons and cash, but outfits, pieces of armor, helmets, hats, and dignity. When you looted a dead enemy in those games, you left behind nothing but a corpse in its underwear.

Cyberpunk 2077 just launched its first and only DLC, Phantom Liberty, alongside the major 2.0 update. Many fans claim that the update and expansion have ironed out most of the game's long-standing problems, fulfilling old promises after years of waiting. Our own reviewer Andrew King says that it finally made the game "worth the trip". However, according to CD Projekt Red, these are the last major updates, meaning that the Cyberpunk 2077 we have today is the final version.
Polish indie studio The Astronauts launched Witchfire in early access last week via the Epic Games Store. It's the developer's second game following The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, and it's a completely different genre (rogue-lite dark fantasy first-person shooter) compared to that game.

According to leaked documents, Microsoft are/were remastering Oblivion and Fallout 3. This is boring. The past decade of innumerable remasters has been boring enough, but remastering these two games is particularly boring. When even bother when all Bethesda have made since Oblivion is Oblivion remakes with added spacesuits or yelling? Boring. But while I think the torrent of remasters is a miserable sign of big publishers just giving up, if they're going to do it anyway: why not Morrowind?
Looks like we're getting another foodie crossover in Final Fantasy 14.
