While the original roadmap has long since been scrapped, the Valheim devs have not given up on the ideas they laid out back then. As such, the freshly released update brings with it many of the features that once belonged to the "Cult of the Wolf" section, including brand new instanced mini-dungeons by the name of Frost Caves.
The Frost Caves are similar to the Burial Chambers and Sunken Crypts that came before, and much like them offer you a chance to square off against new enemies, gather new resources, as well as collect new materials. Naturally, all of this will be going towards crafting a fancy new armor and weapon set!

So in order to let everyone know what's happening, DICE have now detailed the five major map issues they have detected and how they're planning to solve them. Here's a brief rundown:

[Update]: In another pleasant surprise, The Game Bakers' boss-battling action game Furi is getting a brand new character, six years after its launch!
Unlike The Game Bakers' previous game Furi which was all about non-stop action, Haven is more of an exploration focused RPG about a couple stuck on a mysterious planet. There's still plenty of battles to be had, naturally, but also a variety of tricky decisions to make, arguments to work through, and conversations to enjoy.
Given how the relationship between the two main characters is what the entire story revolves around, the Haven team has now released a chunky free update to help expand your options! So depending on your preference, you can now chose between three different configurations: either a woman and a man, two women, or two men.

As a part of a recent Closed Beta, Ubisoft gave a bunch of players the chance to explore The Settlers reboot ahead of its March 17th release date. Unfortunately, or quite fortunately depending on your viewpoint, the beta feedback ended up being remarkably negative and so Ubisoft has now decided to postpone The Settlers until they can polish everything up.
"The recent Closed Beta was a great opportunity for all participating players to share valuable feedback regarding the current state of the game, and we'd like to thank you for your involvement," reads the brief update. "As we went through this feedback, it became clear to our team that the quality wasn't yet in line with the team's vision."
