The patch notes for the latest Palworld update include a detail that might just be more exciting than any of the new content or improvements: the promise of a big ol' "content-packed update" landing this summer.
Survival Game With 'Very Positive' Reviews Is a PS5 Console Exclusive

V Rising will leave early access on May 8, developer Stunlock Studios has announced, all the while reiterating its plans to bring the game to the PlayStation 5. While V Rising was already confirmed as a PS5 console exclusive, its port for Sony's current-generation system is still waiting for an official release date.
The PC version of Stunlock Studios' survival ARPG originally reached early access in May 2022. V Rising didn't take long to establish itself as a major hit, with the Swedish developer previously revealing that the game sold more than 3.9 million copies as of February 2024. Its player reception has also been nothing short of stellar, as illustrated by the fact that V Rising presently boasts over 68,000 «Very Positive» reviews on Steam. The RPG managed to maintain its early momentum throughout its second year of early access, having found itself on the list of Steam's most played games in 2023.
Its preview period is now officially coming to a close, as Stunlock Studios just treated V Rising to a release date, May 8. That date only applies to the PC version of the game, while the recently announced PS5 port of V Rising is still pending more concrete availability details beyond «2024.» The newly debuted release date trailer for the survival RPG showcased some stylish new cinematics and reiterated the game's status as a PS5 console exclusive. Whether its console exclusivity is meant to be timed or permanent is unclear.
In the meantime, Stunlock Studios has shared an overview of what fans can expect from the game's upcoming 1.0 release. The developer hence confirmed that the May update will introduce a new V Rising location in the form of The Ruins of Mortium, which is described as an endgame area with plenty of deadly perils to survive. A final chapter promising a conclusion to the RPG's story will also be part of the package, as will some dynamic endgame events, new V Blood bosses, and one additional enemy type.
The 1.0 version of the game will also introduce full-fledged controller support, presumably in preparation for the RPG's PS5 release. The V Rising PlayStation Store page doesn't mention anything in the way of support for DualSense-specific features like haptic feedback. Another unknown is the price tag that Stunlock Studios plans to attach to the PS5 edition of its survival ARPG. The early access version normally retails at $19.99 on Steam, and is currently even available at 20% off, with that offer being live until March 21. But it's not uncommon for games to raise their prices after leaving early access.
And while those questions are still waiting to be answered, what's clear already is that the PS5 port will include all of the V Rising content that's been added to the game since its

Spooky survival roguelike meets the world of tabletop gaming with Don’t Starve: The Board Game
Glass Cannon Unplugged have just launched their Kickstarter campaign funding Don’t Starve: The Board Game. We've seen plenty of the best board games come out in the past few years but Kickstarter-funded tabletop adaptations of video games are really having a moment right now. It was just last month that Glass Cannon Unplugged announced they were working on Dying Light: The Board Game, adding that to their expansive portfolio of board games like This War of Mine: The Board Game and Apex Legends: The Board Game (which we were very fond of when we previewed it). Gameplay wise, Don't Starve: The Board Game promises to be chock-full of "mechanics highlighting player choice, dynamic combat, and open-world exploration in night and day conditions". From the looks of the game’s box art and promotional materials, it also keeps that charming Tim Burton-esque art style that players have come to know and love. Turns out that expansions and add-ons are already on the cards too.
