Warframe: 1999 looks nuts. Prototype warframes, boy bands, dating—a lot of weird stuff is on the horizon. That's all coming in winter 2024, but Digital Extremes is already gearing up for it with the next update, The Lotus Eaters, which is dropping on August 21.
In the list of games I'd expect to get a comic book tie in, Crusader Kings 3 does not feature prominently. Yet here we are, only a couple of weeks away from Paradox's grand strategy game getting its very own free comic, Many Roads to Power, which serves as a prequel to the upcoming expansion Roads to Power.
Andrew Wincott's BAFTA award winning performance as Raphael, one of Baldur's Gate 3's most entertaining villains, was one of the RPG's many highlights. He also famously gave us one of the game's most memorable musical numbers when he sang his own boss theme at the end of the House of Hope dungeon. It turns out, though, that this performance also gave him the wrong impression of what the game was all about.
Larian is following up Baldur's Gate 3 with not one but two new RPGs. And, unsurprisingly, they'll likely be big 'uns. That's just Larian's style, but it does come with some problems, especially when they're following a game as massive and elaborate as Baldur's Gate 3.
BioWare has been vague on the release date of its upcoming pansexual dwarf-romance simulator Dragon Age: The Veilguard, saying only that it'll be out in autumn this year.

To help mark a full year since Baldur's Gate 3's release, Larian has revealed a new "Channel From Hell" on YouTube. Though the studio has not yet uploaded anything, it wrote on X, «The Everything App» that the «community-focused» channel is set to «feature regular and never-seen-before videos which will arrive this summer.»
Now that it's done with Baldur's Gate 3, Larian has two more RPGs on the docket. And because this is Larian, they're likely going to be pretty massive.
Larian Studios was not planning to keep making Baldur's Gate games when it embarked on its journey through the Forgotten Realms. For decades it had been telling stories in its own universe rather than playing with someone else's toys. For a brief time, though, Baldur's Gate 4 was on the cards. Chatting to CEO Swen Vincke ahead of its first anniversary, he explains why Larian almost made a sequel, and why it ultimately didn't.
