Warm up your teats, fans, THQ Nordic is coming to suckle.

That's been their agenda ever since they were called Nordic Games. They buy old IPs and cast off developers for cheap, then milk the IPs for more money. It's working for them.

They are now actually under the Embracer Group label.

They are now actually under the Embracer Group label.

Now I see the true meaning behind the name of this group. At this rate, it will soon embrace the whole gaming market (and our wallets in the process).

Marvel’s Midnight Suns: A Deadly Game Of The Year Contender? - WePc

If Marvel’s Midnight Suns can continue to keep up the energy that it exudes, the quality that it so wonderfully has, then it has the potential to be a late entrant to the Game Of The Year discussion. It’s so much fun to play, it’s a joy to talk to these characters and it’s a devilishly stylish game. Not even the Mother Of All Demons can bring this game down.

“I love Fallout, I love the setting, I could see myself working in it again, but you know, we’ll see where the future takes me.”

Sawyer was also asked what his dream setting for a new series entry.

“I’m not really sure,” he responded. “I haven’t thought about it in quite a while because again, it kind of came into my life and then floated away. In the past, I’ve said you know people have talked about New Orleans. I do think California or the Midwest would also be very interesting.

Cygnus Enterprises a Single-player Sci-fi Action/RPG Announced

This game bursts so much will colourfulness and with positivity that people will hate it and will want it to die. You know, currently, anything positive and colourful is hated a lot these days, at least that's my impression. Especially Gamersgate people will hate this game a lot.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Release Date at Game Awards 2022? - PSU

The Game Awards 2022 will play host to a ton of new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor details, including a release date and new trailer. That’s at least according to sources at Insider-Gaming, which claim that the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor info drop will take place about 30 minutes into packed showcase. To be fair, a release date during TGA would make sense, as it’s rumoured the game will be released in March 2023, so it’s not too far off.

It's Still Baffling That Bloodborne Isn't On PC Yet - Gamespot

Hey, did you know that Bloodborne is still a PlayStation exclusive? Of course you do--the internet will never let you forget. Recently, Sony deleted a Bloodborne-related tweet after a legion of fans dogpiled it in the vain hope that an announcement was in the works. Indeed, it doesn't take much for the 2015 game to trend on popular social media sites like Twitter. Even a pointed tweet from a noted figure in the Souls community like Lance McDonald can stir up the hornet's nest.

Why The Elder Scrolls 6 is Likely to Be Simpler Than Skyrim - Gamerant

There is a certain element of the longstanding fantastical RPG series that will likely carry forward into The Elder Scrolls 6.

Given how simple and poorly conceived Skyrim mechanics and skill set are implemented; how could they make it simpler; are they going to take brain dead and make it brain deader ?

Same thought I had. Any more dumbed-down, and those games are toeing the line of even being appropriate to be called RPGs.

I see you both forgotten BioWare saying press a button something awesome happens.

As for Bethesda we'll have to wait for Starfield.

Your correct about Elder Scrolls they have been simplified every new release.

Dark Envoy looks interesting and seems to be RTWP or a mix of that and TB.

It’s RTWP. Was originally going to be TB, but the devs changed their mind at some point.
