Blood Bowl 3 continues to trundle along somewhere between life and death, receiving a seasonal pass update every three months including a new team. Following last season's addition of the Shambling Undead, Season 4 brings us an agility team: Wood Elves.
Balance has been restored to the Force. The well-liked Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster was followed by a Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection that's not quite so well-liked. Among the early complaints was the fact the trailer showed a mod had been incorporated without the permission of the modder. Aspyr, the studio behind this remaster, swore the actual release version wouldn't use anyone else's «code or content» without permission. And, while it's since been patched out, that didn't turn out to be true. On both PC and PlayStation, the launch version did indeed incorporate a mod that restored Asajj Ventress as a playable character.
It's not often I get the option to field Australian forces in a wargame—apart from Emu War! I guess—but the new Commonwealth tech tree in World of Warships adds Australian ships like the Cerberus alongside cruisers from various Commonwealth nations, including the New Zealand cruiser Auckland and India's Delhi.
According to itseieio's TikTok bio, they «make dumb games», but I'd argue that putting a brick-breaker into Google Calendar is galaxy brain stuff. As they explain in a video, they spent two weeks polishing the game, adding color-coded explosions as you smash your scheduled standups into smithereens, as well as that authentic-looking trail behind the ball. But the most important part of all is that, yes, you really can decline your weekly townhall or Thursday afternoon «quick chat» by slapping it with a ball.
Arrowhead's ode to friendly fire Helldivers 2 has led to a bit of a Starship Troopers renaissance, with players discovering or rediscovering Paul Verhoeven's 1997 movie based on Robert A. Heinlein's sci-fi novel. Casper Van Dien, who played football star turned space marine Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers, responded by <a data-analytics-id=«inline-link» href=«https://twitter.com/caspervandien/status/1760740066736132476?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1760740066736132476%7Ctwgr%5E884fb5648d009fffb09094485e3cf759949bccf9%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcgamer.com%2Fgames%2Fthird-person-shooter%2Fhelldivers-2-boss-says-the-studios-going-for-starship-troopers-without-the-plot-armour-and-nothing-captures-that-better-than-your-frantic-near-death-videos%2F» target="_blank" data-url=«https://twitter.com/caspervandien/status/1760740066736132476?ref_src=» https:>suggesting a crossover movie on Twitter
Vermintide 2's Versus mode was first announced in 2019, after which developers Fatshark went dark on it. After four years of the usual suspects harvesting upvotes by whining about the absence of Versus mode and how they'd been lied to, it was finally confirmed as still being in the works last year, with the announcement of a closed alpha test. That closed alpha is now complete, and has been followed by an open alpha anyone can join directly from the Vermintide 2 main menu.
Modiphius, the tabletop publisher that just announced it's making a Discworld RPG, is also planning to put out a Mass Effect board game. Cannily, it focuses on fan favorite companions Liara, Garrus, Tali, and Wrex. All will be packaged in 32mm plastic form, along with two Commander Shepards—one FemShep and one BroShep. (Presumably the bad guys are all cardboard tokens or something.)
