Death plays a strange role in videogames. You’re always trying to avoid it, but at the same time, it’s basically inconsequential. You might lose a bit of progress, but mostly, it just means hitting quickload (and maybe deploying a few cuss words). Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and the rest of the FromSoftware oeuvre frame death differently. Every time you’re killed, it’s canon. You come back to life, but as per the games’ conceits and lore, you did die. Roguelikes have a similar approach, except its mechanical rather than narrative - in Dead Cells, The Binding of Isaac, et al, every failed run teaches you something new, and maybe grants you some fresh abilities and gear next time around. Combining all these sensibilities, and an original take on turn-based combat, Blightstone is an upcoming indie RPG with a twist.

Image: Ubisoft A few months after it first launched, Star Wars Outlaws is getting some major updates. First up is the game’s first batch of downloadable content, which adds a new storyline involving Lando Calrissian and what appears to be a very dangerous game of Sabacc. The new expansion is called Wild Card and will be followed by a second DLC update next spring called A Pirate’s Fortune. Perhaps more significant, today, Outlaws is also getting a major update to address some of the game’s technical and design issues. Ubisoft describes it as the game’s “biggest patch yet.” Most notable, it seems, is that the stealth sections — a major point of frustration for many players — have been toned down. Ubisoft says that the update includes “updates to... Continue reading…

Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge Yesterday Android Headlines reported that Google had canceled its development of the Pixel Tablet 3 — even before announcing a second-gen model. Well, today Android Authority is saying that it’s in fact the second-generation Pixel Tablet that has been canned, meaning that the device released last year will apparently be a one-off and that Google is bailing on the tablet category for the second time in a little over five years. At best, we’re in for a long pause until the next one. If true, the news would suggest that sales of the Pixel Tablet have been so poor that Google has decided further investment in a follow-up just isn’t worth it. As recently as last week, there were rumors of new features and a keyboard accessory for the... Continue reading…
