!['We don't need [player counts] to be super huge in order to be successful': Highguard devs respond to posters declaring it dead on arrival](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/q6MuFuK3eG5kWL8HzazV79-1280-80.jpg)
"Internet's gonna internet."
Highguard has "war chests" that never expire similar to Helldivers 2 warbonds.
Created by former developers of Apex Legends and Titanfall, Highguard was the final game announced during December 2025’s Keighley Awards. It’s a free-to-play, guns & sorcery, PvP raid shooter in which magic cowboys in capes vie for control of an uncharted continent. It’s got temples, airships, rideable panthers, fireballs, frost giants, and enchanted siege engines on caterpillar tracks. It’s also out now on Steam. That was quick. Read more
We live in an unjust world.
When you were making plant pots in RuneScape and selling them to other players, you might not have thought you were laying the groundwork for a UK legal precedent that would define in-game gold as intangible property covered by the Theft Act 1968, but, well, here we are. Lord Justice Popplewell has ruled on appeal that RuneScape's gold pieces are legal property, which is important for the ex-Jagex developer accused of stealing 705 billion of them. Read more
I am fully prepared to debate the term "proper".
A major step towards a Hytale battle royale, a talented modder has designed a Fortnite-style storm, and it's suitably purple.
Today I became aware of Bolt Action, a historical strategy sim based on the World War II tabletop miniatures game from Warlord Games (founded by erstwhile Games Workshop staffers John Stallard and Paul Sawyer). It sees you fretting over questions of morale, line-of-sight and cover, while leading US, British or German armies across maps that range from beaches to churchyards. There’s multiplayer, too. Trailer ho! Read more
The loot progression in RIP, or Reincarnation Insurance Program, reminds me of Diablo, but the AI disclosure on Steam gives me pause.
Don't go blaming your PC if you can't connect to Highguard without checking whether the servers are actually up and running first.
Against the overbearing weight of modernity, Old School RuneScape continues to complete a Sisyphean task of simply existing two and a half decades after it originally launched. It just celebrated that 25th anniversary at the start of the year in fact, and now during a Winter Summit a slew of updates coming to the MMO were shown off in a roadmap from developer Jagex.

A group of modders wearing the finest reverse-engineering goggles has managed to port birdly and beary platformer Banjo-Kazooie to PC, with a bunch of extra bells and whistles to make sure it won't make for a disappointing dip back into your childhood or adulthood. Their creation's dubbed Banjo: Recompiled, and it dropped over the weekend. Read more
Digimon Story Time Stranger took me away from Pokémon card collecting, offering an excellent Persona-style RPG adventure - and it could be yours for a dollar.
There's still no release date, but I like what I'm hearing.
The ongoing absence of Starfield's long-rumored overhaul is very unusual, so allegations of Bethesda 'weirdness' seem plausible.
Our pick of the top Project Zomboid mods includes new gameplay mechanics, additional weapons, and simple UI changes to aid your survival.
My word.
Per aspera ad nowhere.
I like Hytale. I like how it plays smoother and weightier than Minecraft, while matching the explorative highs of creeping through an infested cave or stumbling upon some ancient, unplundered ruin. I like how it runs on the Steam Deck without trying to. And I like the pace at which it’s being updated: one substantial patch per week, at the current rate. You could argue, fairly, that regular content injections are vital for an early access game that’s accessible as early as Hytale is
Nicht zum ersten Mal, aber doch sehr prominent drÀngt sich derzeit ein Urproblem der Geografie ins Bewusstsein: FlÀchen auf Karten, die ein falsches Bild des Planeten vermitteln.
