Pillars of Eternity update 3.0 brings with it story mode, stronghold updates, balance changes and more

Its been a good couple of years for us old school RPG lovers with both indie and large companies all of a sudden realizing there is actually a market for these sort of games.

Pillars of Eternity is perhaps the best and most polished one out of the whole lot and with the upcoming update 3.0 its set to become even better. Here's the developer video announcing the update and my short overview of the changes:

XCOM inspired Xenonauts 2 has been announced

Xenonauts 1 was a turn based strategy game released back in 2014 and heavily inspired by the old XCOM series. Rather than simply copy the XCOM formula Xenonauts developers opted to go for a much more in-depth tactical experience and even though it definitely had some flaws it was a pretty fun game.

While there were rumors of Xenonauts 2 being in development for many months now, it has only recently been confirmed by the developers themselves. Xenonauts 2 is set to launch sometime in 2017 with an Early Access release coming in the next few months. Here's the currently known list of features:

CCP has announced a sequel to Project Legion - Dust 514 is getting axed

If you're not familiar with Dust 514, it is a Playstation 3 exclusive FPS released back in 2013 and set in the EVE universe. Dust 514 was an interesting experiment but locking it away behind a PS3 exclusivity when the original EVE MMO is a PC only game was a rather questionable move that has now reached its sad conclusion.

So while Dust 514 is unfortunately going to kick the dust on May 30th CCP has announced they are working on a new PC exclusive FPS set in the EVE universe that will allow the team to implement everything they've learned from Dust 514 but without the technological limitations that come with ancient consoles. Here's the announcement message:

Despite the Souls series being so popular these days and Dark Souls 3 at the head of a massive hype train there is surprisingly little gameplay footage, especially of the thief "class".

So if you're like me and you're looking for more I have some good news because a youtuber by the name of Gilmore Mizzi captured 6 minutes of Dark Souls 3 footage from a recent private From Software stream. Here's the video:

Overwatch beta is coming back online this February 9th

The delay between beta tests has been slightly longer this time around since Blizzard was hard at work on adding an entirely new game mode and maps after many players complained about repetition in the previous tests.

However, the wait is now over and the Overwatch beta is set to re-open on February 9th. Those that are lucky enough to get in can expect to see a reworked progression system, a new game mode and two maps, a bunch of balance changes and an update to the Private Game system.

22cans studio has announced Godus Wars

Its been around a year now since 22cans, the studio behind Godus, along with Peter Molyneux went completely radio silent following a massive community backlash over, you guessed it, over-promising and under-delivering.

And now, after a year long exile Peter Molyneux is back once more, this time with Godus Wars, a combat/RTS spin-off of the original god game. Here's my overview of the situation:

Black Desert Online is coming this March 3rd

After being strung around with teasers and delays for over 5 years now it feels strange to actually see Black Desert so near its Western release.

But strange or not the buy-to-play action MMO Black Desert will be arriving this March 3rd at a rather affordable €30 / $30. Best of all, there is no subscription! Here's the trailer and a bit more info:
