In 2020's Airborne Kingdom, you cobbled together a flying city from sailcloth, smokestacks, wings and flippers, striving to meet a growing population's need for food and shelter while dealing with the more exotic problem of levelling your streets out and generating enough lift. In the process, you explored a beautiful, Orientalist world map of faded mosaic tiles and dusty gold fittings. In Airborne Empire, out in early access today, you do much the same again, but this time the world is trying to ******* you. A bit. You are no longer alone in the skies: there are merchant dirigibles you can barter with, and pirate airships who'll strafe your suburbs and set your bazaars on fire. As such, the sequel's new city technologies include a choice of offensive and defensive weapons. Here's a launch trailer. Read more View the full article

Cyberpunk 2077 came back from the brink. No Man's Sky turned it around. Even the responses to Payday 3 and Cities Skylines 2 have shown signs of thawing. Today, if a new game struggles at launch, there is still the possibility that its creators can claw it back. Arma Reforger may be the best, recent example. Arriving in early access back in May 2022, for a while, it remained the awkward middle child of Bohemia's realistic FPS series. But now, as Escape From Tarkov enjoys continued success, and Delta Force and Gray Zone Warfare lure potential new players to the world of milsims, Arma Reforger has exploded in popularity.

Valve has just released the first Deadlock patch notes of 2025, and they come with some important changes. Both Yamato and a collection of items have been nerfed, so hopefully one of the most overpowered heroes in the game becomes a lot easier to deal with moving forward. Remember that Valve is still actively developing Deadlock, though, so tough heroes like Yamato might be a nightmare now, but the hope is they'll be consistently tweaked over time.

Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has said it’s now fully focused on its next game, promising a “media blackout” for the foreseeable future. While the hotly anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 is due out this year for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Larian has said its “full attention” is on the next big thing. Last week, Larian boss Swen Vincke tweeted to briefly reflect on the studio’s journey so far, which has seen Baldur’s Gate 3 receive tremendous critical and commercial success. “But the story ain't over yet,” Vincke added. Got me all nostalgic - it really has been a incredible journey so far. But the story ain't over yet. Stay tuned. Going to try to skip the dark night of the soul moment though if you don't mind. [Hidden Content] — Swen Vincke @where? (@LarAtLarian) January 10, 2025 In a follow-up statement issued to VideoGamer, Larian said: “Swen and the team['s]... full attention is focused on crafting their next title,” with Larian moving to a “media blackout.” We know more about what Larian’s next game isn’t than what it is. We know it’s not a sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3, nor a D&D game of any kind. Rather, it’s a brand new game, something Larian was keen to move on to after trying and failing to spark enthusiasm internally for a Baldur's Gate follow-up. In November 2023, Vincke spoke in vague terms about the studio’s next project. “I wish I could tell you about our next big game but this is really encouraging us to ensure it pushes many boundaries,” Vincke teased in response to Baldur’s Gate 3’s many The Game Awards nominations. “I’m very excited about it.” In July 2023, ahead of Baldur’s Gate 3’s explosive launch, Vincke told IGN a sequel to Larian’s own Divinity: Original Sin series is on the cards too, although fans shouldn’t hold their breath. “It's our own universe we built, so we're definitely gonna get back there at some point,” Vincke said. “We will get back there at some point. We'll first finish [Baldur's Gate 3], and then take a break, because we will need to refresh ourselves creatively also. You’re seeing 400 developers putting their heart and souls into this. You’re getting the best of them and their craft into this game. And so I can tell you, it's quite a thing.” If Divinity isn’t next, perhaps a brand new game set in a completely different universe? Larian has created fantasy RPGs for some time now. Could it branch out into science fiction? Or a modern day setting? Or maybe even try a new genre? It feels like it may be some time — years even — before we find out. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.
