"I lost the concept of home, until my grandmother took me into these forests" - Trollheim: Gnomes is a survival game from ex-DICE and Paradox devs that channels childhood fairytales

Swedish studio Off-leash Interactive and Denshattack publishers Fireshine Games have announced Trollheim: Gnomes, a survival-crafting fairytale in which you, a three-inch-high gnome, explore a procedurally generated forest derived from Nordic folklore. You'll be clambering up enormous trees, lighting campfires beneath mushrooms, and befriending or evading troublesome larger supernatural creatures known as "Väsen". I caught a briefing for Trollheim: Gnomes earlier this month, and while I

The rumoured Steam Frame OLED would fix one of the Frame's minor weaknesses and do nothing for its major ones

Good catch by SteamFrameHub here: snippets of the recently released Steam Frame kernel source code contain references to a possible variant of Valve's new VR headset with upgraded OLED lenses.

Maybe not – one of the related code branches, which codename the device 'Planar,' was updated on October 2nd, weeks after the LCD-lensed Frame opened for reservations. There's details, too.

League of Legends Classic will become a thing of the past in January 2027, though it may one day be resurrected as a limited-time event

The classic mode rolled out in League of Legends earlier this year will cease to be a permanent addition once the calendar flips over into 2027, ending a fairly brief nostalgia run, devs Riot have announced. The mode, offering a version of the MOBA mirroring its early days, only debuted in July. It might come back in a different form down the line, but Riot have found that there isn't enough of a prolonged appetite for days gone by to be worth propping up something akin to the classic modes see
