CRKD's Nitro Deck is getting a new collection of limited edition variants, and they greatly appeal to my Game Boy Color-loving self with a gorgeous see-through look that was all the rage back in the 90s and early 2000s.

It's possible to burn a lot of bridges in a Dark Urge playthrough of , but one early choice stands out by killing off an Origin character altogether in a way that might not be obvious. The Dark Urge offers a way to play with a custom character and still have a specific backstory, although it's not the right fit for every campaign. Plagued by murderous impulses, the Dark Urge is frequently challenged to resist a violent path, which can put some key NPCs in harm's way.

Though Harebrained Schemes' The Lamplighters League was just released and found solid critical success, publisher Paradox Interactive plans to cut ties with developer Harebrained Schemes following plans to write down development costs after slower-than-expected sales of the game. In a recently released press release, publisher Paradox Interactive announced that a "mutual agreement" was made between both parties and that Harebrained Schemes would separate from the publisher and return as an independent studio on January 1, 2024. This sudden news comes less than a month after the game's release. First acquired by Paradox Interactive in 2018, The Lamplighters League tactics strategy game was the developer's first project as an internal studio. Before The Lamplighters League, Harebrained Schemes worked on the recent Shadowrun and BattleTech role-playing games, which found great success among the rush of crowdfunding games during the 2010s. In a press release following news of the game's lackluster success, Paradox Interactive CEO Fredrik Wester stated: "The Lamplighters League is a fun game with many strengths. Even though we see cautiously positive player numbers in subscription services, the commercial reception has been too weak, which is frankly a big disappointment. Game projects are by their nature always risky, but at the end of the day we haven't performed at the level we should. It is painful but makes us more eager to roll up our sleeves and do better." For now, Harebrained Schemes will still be supporting The Lamplighters League with post-launch updates and patches. In early 2024, the developer will move on from Paradox Interactive and return to being an independent studio. For Paradox Interactive, this marks the second major developer shift in recent years following the reboot of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which The Chinese Room is now developing. In our own full review, editor Ali Jones gave the game a positive review and stated: "The Lamplighters League might not stand fully toe-to-toe with the strategy juggernauts of recent years, but it's a plucky competitor - just as long as you don't get bogged down in its attempt to set itself apart from the games it's trying to emulate."

Paradox has revealed that Cities: Skylines 2, while featuring support for mods, will not be making use of the Steam Workshop to distribute its mods. Instead, the studio is opting to use its own Paradox Mods platform, which is a cross-platform library.
