3 teams. 100 players. 1 odd man out.

Wardogs was released into Steam Early Access today. The game boasts massive 100-player all-out warfare battles. Wardogs is developed by Bulkhead and published by team17. It's billed as a tactical FPS and is planned for PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X|S in 2028.

So far, it seems as though the Early Access is nothing more than a queue simulator. I've seen about a quarter of a million people waiting in the queue at one point. It probably...

Though still available in Early Access now.

Moon Studios says that the 1.0 release for No Rest for the Wicked has been delayed until March 2027 for both PlayStation 5 and PC. The XBOX Series X|S and Switch 2 releases are currently "to be determined." Pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 version will open in January 2027.

But how much of this release was created with AI?

Panache Digital Games released 1666: Amsterdam into Early Access today on PC via both Steam and the Epic Games Store. For $29.99 you can help shape the final product of the game by letting the developers know what does or does not work.

The team at Panache has certainly already heard the feedback about their extensive use of generative AI slop for many of the art assets. Many of those assets reared their ugly heads back...

Wardogs enters into Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026 for a reasonable price of $39.99. If you don't want to wait a month to spend money, Bulkhead and publisher Team17 say that Wardogs is available for pre-purchase right now.

An update two years in the making.

Project Zomboid is about to get one of its biggest updates yet. Build 42 has been in development for about two years now and "represents a substantial evolution of Project Zomboid's bleak, brilliant, and stubbornly uncompromising zombie sandbox."

Build 42 is set to release on July 29 for all Project Zomboid owners. The update will offer several new and improved features. There will be deeper crafting and building systems,...

Plus a look at creature companions.

A new gameplay trailer is out today for Under a Rock. This new trailer details how players will be able to tame creatures and possibly acquire various helpful companions. It includes a look at several of the game's creatures as well as the full taming loop.

A literal potato.

The Early Access release date for Outward 2 was shared today via a trailer featuring a literal potato running the game on a "potato" PC. The trailer is meant to show how scalable the game is when it comes to hardware configurations while also revealing that Early Access date.

A "final" release date was not shared as part of today's announcement. I assume it will remain in Early Access until such a time that the development team at...

Bust a move.

The beat-'em-up with an actual beat, Dead As Disco, is now available by Brain Jar Games. The full release is available on both Steam and Epic for $24.99, but there is a two-week launch discount that brings the price down to just $19.99.

Is this pirate-focused game as good as a AAAA game though?

Just a little game about sledding and good times.

Sledding Game is slated to launch into Early Access on Steam, Game Pass, and Xbox on April 30, 2026. This game is said to be a "super chill multiplayer hangout game," and based on the available demo I'm certainly inclined to agree with that statement.

Sledding Game will let you and 29 of your friends hangout together at a snowy ski resort. While sledding is one of the main focuses of the game, there will be...

The official launch is March 2nd.

I missed this one on Thursday because the announcement came in a little late and I took Friday off because I was sick*. World of Warcraft fans probably already know, but the Early Access release of World of Warcraft: Midnight began on Thursday, February 26!

This Early Access is available to everyone that picked up the physical collector's edition of the game as well as those that bought the Midnight Epic Edition online. This Early Access...

The "hard ground rule" of "no map areas locked behind a paywall" was a lie.

Part of the Season 3 content for the free-to-play skate. will include a new map area that players will have to pay to permanently access. The idea of locking map content behind a paywall is something that the developers at Full Circle explicitly stated would not be locked behind any sort of a paywall.

PCGamer is the first to spot this little discrepancy between what is happening...

A publishing partner for The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire was announced this weekend. Tripwire Presents will be the publisher for this BEF Games developed title that places you in the shoes of a wannabe crime boss.
