Welp, all of you RuneScape folks who hate Reignited have gotten your wish, as the controversial MMO rejig has been cancelled

Welp, that was short lived. Earlier this month, Jagex made some big RuneScape announcements, namely that they're making a fourth version of the MMO (aptly, currently called RuneScape 4), but also the arrival of RuneScape Reignited, a new character type that would come with its own, new economy. The intention here seemingly was to bring new people in to breathe some life back into the game. This did not go down well with the old timers. And now, it's been flat out cancelled. Read more

Urine Trouble: PEE V PEE, a multiplayer game about hiding from the cops while you take a whizz on public property, takes the trophy for punniest title of the year

I've been doing this whole games journalism for over five years now, and I've seen a lot of different kinds of games in that time. I've written about plenty of them too, with a fair few being plenty weird. But I'll admit that today's game is one that I do understand if I were to tell anyone I'm interested in playing who maybe isn't familiar with games as a whole, they'd probably talk to someone else at the party. You see, Urine Trouble: PEE V PEE is a competitive online game all about pissing

The increasing number of early access games always throws me off, because one day you're seeing an announcement of a game releasing, and then a while (normally years) later, you see another announcement for said game releasing. Feels like I'm in a constant Groundhog Day situation, probably not good for my sense of the passage of time. Anyway! Existentialism aside, after launching into early access almost three years ago, Enshrouded is now out in 1.0. Read more

Monumentally expansive roguelike Caves of Qud is getting even bigger in December with an early access expansion that lets you play as messed up dogs and trees

Caves of Qud is a game well liked over here at RPS; Brendan gave it the coveted Bestest Bests badge back when it launched into 1.0 a couple of years ago, and all! It's a game I still want to reckon with more deeply, and perhaps with the reveal of its first expansion I'll be more enticed to. It's called Diaspora, and its biggest feature is probably the fact that you'll be able to play as plants and animals. Interestingly, much like the base game before it, developer Freehold Games will also be

4X strategy sequel Humankind 2 gets its first extended in-game footage, rich in era-spanning, culture-shaping, history-rewriting action

Not counting the slivers of footage tacked onto that baby's-eve-view reveal trailer, Humankind 2 devs Amplitude Studios have unveiled their first real footage of the history-spanning strategy sequel. Throughout its (nearly) seven minutes of maps and menus, we can see what appears to a greater focus on resculpting and adapting your chosen cultures to meet the challenges of each era, and less on sticking with preset archetypal bonuses. There's still loads of cultures to work with – over 70,
