Cronos: The New Dawn survived the devs' worst nightmare, it started MAKING money 💰

Cronos: The New Dawn survived the devs' worst nightmare, it started MAKING money 💰

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babeno says the horror fully recouped costs 9 months after launch and is now profitable. It's the studio's priciest original project, but they pulled it off. Launching new franchises is riskier than ever, but they believe this laid the groundwork for a major future IP.

⚡️GTA 6 crosses a line by locking its "Pimp My Ride" customisation mode behind a paywall

Rockstar confirmed pricing: $80 Standard, $100 Ultimate. That's fine, even reasonable given the $100+ rumours. What's NOT fine is what that extra $20 actually locks: a whole vehicle-customisation mode.

Absolute L take, Rockstar.

ExeKiller gets publisher 505 Games, a nonlinear retrofuturistic western with a hovercar 🚗

ExeKiller gets publisher 505 Games, a nonlinear retrofuturistic western with a hovercar 🚗

Polish studio Paradark announced the game back in 2021, and now it's got serious backing: set in an alternate 1970s, bounty hunter Denzel Phoenix cruises the wasteland in the "Appaloosa" hovercar, uses "Cybervision" to scan crime scenes, and balances shooting, stealth, hacking, and persuasion. Real-time dialogue, even mid-gunfight or while driving. Quest rewards unlock new tactics; choices have delayed consequences. No open world but a hub with unlockable zones. Launch on Steam without Russian localization, release date TBA.

UPPERCASE ENERGY: promises include in-world UI and in-car negotiations. Waiting for a release date 🤠

Unexpected twist: Microsoft restored the petition for a Russian localization of Fable ⚡️

Unexpected twist: Microsoft restored the petition for a Russian localization of Fable ⚡️

The petition on Xbox Player Voice, which mysteriously vanished, is back online. Gamers have already gathered thousands of signatures, demanding Playground Games include a translation for the upcoming RPG. The logic: if Forza Horizon 6 has Russian support, why should Fable be left out?

The fight for localization is BACK ON 🔥

Riot backed down from adding a last-hit indicator to ranked League of Legends, the community reaction was IMMEDIATE and fierce. The plan was to roll it out in patch 26.13, but players argued it dumbs down a core laning mechanic. Now the minion kill helper stays in Quick Play and vs. AI only. PULLED THE PLUG🔁

Owlcat Games' launcher died after just one day under a wave of criticism 🤯

Owlcat Games' launcher died after just one day under a wave of criticism 🤯

The studio launched its own launcher, but players LOST THEIR MINDS. Devs quickly folded: rolled back the update, removed drafts from Rogue Trader, and scrapped the whole idea.

Now they're focused on supporting Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and cooking two new RPGs. Big L, but at least they fixed it fast
