New Civilization VI update brings Australia DLC and Steam Workshop

Dennis can now play! One of the most-requested features forCivilization VIwill soon be upon us. In an upcoming free update, Steam Workshop support will be going live alongside some new team options and the Australian Civilization DLC. While I’ve sunk more time than I care to admit into the core game, finally having official mod support will be huge for the longevity ofCiv VI.

The iOS ones don’t make noise Line! Man I miss Line. Going to Japan and using it, when basically everyone you meet has it already installed and stocked with tons of stickers was great. It’s also great that a ton of publishers, Nintendo included, continue to support the platform with cute images and the like. I was always a big fan of theSplatoonstickers but now there’s another kid on the block — arguably a year late —Zelda: Breath of the Wild....

P.T. (sort of) lives on in this Unreal Engine interpretation of Silent Hill 4

Even thoughSilent Hillis coming back in a big way, many still wonder what could have been withP.T., which Konami pulled the plug on. While we’ll likely never see a Kojima/del Toro horror collaboration set in the titular foggy town, fans will never stop dreaming. In a video uploaded to YouTube (as spotted byDSO Gaming), user Maxim Dorokhov has offered their own interpretation ofSilent Hill 4: The Room. That is to say, they’ve recreated the 2004 game entirely in Unreal Engine 5....

The ’90s never died! This news crept up on me, butRad Rodgersis now available on Xbox Oneand PS4. Being released as a free update for previous owners on PC, the game now includes an additional five levels and some tuning to fix issues with game balance and puzzle design. This isn’t a proper conclusion to the game, mind you, but it does bring it closer to the original vision that developer Slipgate Studios had in mind....

It’s free if you own the base game The idea of a VR dogfighting game set in theStar Warsuniverse pretty much sells itself. The newRogue One VR Missionfor PlayStation VR, playable as a free download withinStar Wars Battlefront(you’ll need to own a copy of the base game but not any of the expansions or season pass), isn’t that, exactly. Rather, it’s a 20-minute experience, a taste of what’s hopefully yet to come with a bigger team and budget if there’s any good left in this world....
