Roguelike deckbuilding strategy game Phantom Rose II Sapphire will launch for PC via Steam on October 30, publisher PLAYISM and developer makaroll announced. It will support English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language options.

Warhammer 40K: Darktide has had a problematic launch that forced the developer to fix the game before releasing new content and the Xbox Series S|X version. However, developer Fatshark hasn't thrown in the towel and is now presenting a major new feature that will go live in October: full-fledged RPG-style skill trees for each class.

It was only a matter of time, right? While technical tricks like stacking a thousand explosive barrels or leveraging fall damage for Owlbear elbow drops are impressive in their own way, I've yet to see anything truly representing Dungeons & Dragons' frightening powergaming underbelly from Baldur's Gate 3's community. That is, until now.

As loveable as they often are in movies, rogues and scoundrels really don’t make for the best heroes. When you’re up against world-ending dangers, you really want someone stoic, steadfast and competent like a Captain America, not a ruffian who you’re not entirely sure you can put your faith into (unless they’re being played by Harrison Ford, that is). Unfortunately, that’s all that you’ve got at your disposal when putting together The Lamplighter’s League and sending motley assortments of underqualified agents on missions to stop the Banished Court.

I bought my Sega Saturn back when I was in college. Before that, I didn’t know a single person who had ever owned one. It had only been off the market for a decade, but games for it were tough to come by; still are. It sold nearly 10 million units. I have no hard numbers on this, but anecdotally, it seems to have barely made a ripple in Canada. Even knowing that the platform was mostly just popular in Japan, I would think I’d remember a section for Saturn games in Zellers.

Assassin's Creed Mirage release date has changed, but for once, it's not a delay. Instead, the latest Assassin's Creed installment will be with us a week earlier than intended, launching on October 5.

Ah, Warzone. It's all fun and games until you're absolutely tanking and there's nothing you can do about it. Have you ever felt like you were being put up against players way better than you? Have you ever had that niggling doubt that the skill-based matchmaking system was out to get you?

quietly launched a new app that turns the user’s smartphone into a for their TV. This is a sign that Netflix is serious about expanding its cloud gaming services and may have something big in the relatively near future.
