Colossal Order’s flagship title is currently going through strange times. After an overwhelmingly negative reception, Cities: Skylines 2‘s first DLC went free and had its store page deleted, which in turn broke people’s saves. Now, the devs announced they don’t know when the issue will be fixed, angering many fans. It seems that Colossal Order didn’t simply refund buyers who owned the Beach Properties content pack, Cities 2‘s first paid DLC. Assets related to the DLC are completely missing from saves that contained them and were replaced by placeholder grey boxes which acted as abandoned buildings. After numerous complaints over the past few days, the developers issued a statement on the official Paradox Interactive forums: The issue will be fixed, but no one knows when. View the full article

Now is the perfect time to buy ***** Island 2 on Steam, and the window of opportunity isn't going to last forever. As a long-delayed sequel to a 2011 zombie-slaying hit, ***** Island 2 was released in 2023 after being passed around from developer to developer for years. Despite these troubles, however, the game released to a generally positive critical reception, accurately recapturing the mindless appeal of the original with just enough updates to flesh out systems that could feel unsatisfying in its predecessors.

As Stellar Blade‘s release slowly approaches, rating boards are weighing their opinions on the game and whether or not it requires censoring to launch in certain countries. Japan’s CERO (ESRB equivalent) said it doesn’t, and leading to an EA Japan executive questioning the decision. In an April 21 post on X (formerly Twitter), EA Japan executive Shaun Noguchi called out the Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO). The board gave Stellar Blade, an upcoming hack-and-slash published by Sony, the CERO D rating, allowing the game to launch uncensored in Japan for audiences aged 17 and above. This confused Noguchi since EA’s ***** Space remake was not allowed to show certain gory elements which he claims Stellar Blade also has. “I don’t understand,” he said. View the full article

It's a strange time for strategy and 4X games. In one sense, the genre seems more alive than ever, courtesy of ongoing hits like Stellaris and Civilization 6, and much-anticipated up-and-comers such as Manor Lords, Bellwright, and Frostpunk 2. Demand is high - but so is supply. From the publisher behind Cities Skylines 2 and Crusader Kings, an ambitious new strategy effort has so far struggled to make waves, but its first major update and a daring roadmap could now be enough to turn its fortunes around.

Grinding professions in World of Warcraft can be exceptionally boring, especially if you’ve invested time into a profession on a prior character. Perhaps the biggest offenders of the “boring profession” conundrum are secondary professions like Fishing, Cooking, and Archaeology, which aren’t account-wide and have to be re-leveled on each alt. In a thread posted to the WoW subreddit earlier today, though, players hypothesized that these professions could be streamlined to become account-wide via the new Warband system coming with the launch of the game’s next expansion, The War Within. Warbands will make things like reputations, transmog items, and bank slots account-wide, and players want some of the game’s professions to meet that criteria as well. View the full article
