Paradox indefinitely delays Prison Architect 2, just like it did with Life By You before it was scrapped
Prison Architect 2 is delayed yet again, but this time, it could be for good. We've seen the upcoming management game delayed before—due to «new technical challenges» that warranted developers spending more time on stability testing. However, this time, the issue's more pronounced.

Fellowship recreates the thrill of MMO dungeons without the MMO and I'm scared of what it will do to my free time
Fellowship fits like a glove on me, a former 16-year-old World of Warcraft raider who mistakenly thought Blizzard would be the only one who could scratch that itch again. Stockholm-based studio Chief Rebel proved me wrong while we cleared out two MMO-style dungeons in a hands-on preview I had with the game last month.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree appears to have a secret, tougher difficulty
Elden Ring is already an immensely difficult game — as was expected from a FromSoftware title — but players found that Shadow of the Erdtree was even a bit too difficult. But Redditors have discovered that there might even be a secret difficulty setting that makes the DLC even tougher.
