Development of The Culling has come to a halt
http://www.pcgamer.com/development-of-the-culling-has-come-to-a-halt/
It's been well over a year since we last looked at the small-scale battle royale game The Culling. It was "sloppy but fun," we said in our March 2016 analysis, "and it's easy to see why it instantly became a Steam top seller and a popular show on Twitch." But the battle royale scene now is a lot different than it was then: The Culling has been utterly eclipsed by PUBG, and just a couple of months after it finally came out of Early Access the developers at Xaviant are moving on to other things.

 

Destiny 2's Three of Coins consumable is bugged, and Fated Engrams might be too
http://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2s-three-of-coins-consumable-is-bugged-and-fated-engrams-might-be-too/
The Destiny 2 update that rolled out last week added, among quite a number of other things, a Three of Coins consumable sold by Xur that the patch notes said "increases the drop chance of Exotics." But following a weekend of play, an awful lot of people came away feeling like it wasn't working like it was supposed to, and maybe wasn't working at all.

 

The Destiny 2: Fall of Osiris comic contains a secret code for a special emblem
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-destiny-2-fall-of-osiris-comic-contains-a-secret-code-for-a-special-emblem/
The first issue of the Destiny 2: Fall of Osiris digital comic that Bungie announced last week is now live, and there's a surprise buried within its pages: A secret code that will net you and other intrepid Guardians who can solve its multifaceted mystery a super-exclusive emblem for The Visionary. Well, exclusive until it gets spilled all over the web, which I'm about to do...

 

Astroneer research update makes huge changes to research and power systems
http://www.pcgamer.com/astroneer-research-update-makes-huge-changes-to-research-and-power-systems/
Astroneer, you may recall, is a crafty little survival game set in space. Chris gave it a look earlier this year, and developer System Era Softworks has been plugging away at it in Steam Early Access ever since. Its latest update is a doozy, and brings sweeping changes to the research system.

>>And the game is 20% off until January 4th, so you know how much it will be during the Steam Winter sale.

 

Retro FPS Dusk has a free multiplayer closed beta right now
http://www.pcgamer.com/retro-fps-dusk-has-a-free-multiplayer-closed-beta-right-now/
Dusk, the retro-styled first-person shooter that kinda looks like a 1980s Slayer album cover in action, is getting a multiplayer mode. According to the trailer below, it's "not deathmatch", but instead Duskmatch. But as you'll see it is, basically, deathmatch.

 

'Perma-permadeath' game Upsilon Circuit has been cancelled
http://www.pcgamer.com/perma-permadeath-game-upsilon-circuit-has-been-cancelled/
Upsilon Circuit, the fascinating game which limited players to one single life, has been cancelled. Studio Robot Loves Kitty made the announcement today, citing funding as the "primary" issue, though there's quite a bit to it.

>>Shocking, right?. Who could have thought that people wouldn't want to buy a game that you can only play once?

Despite closing in on its three-year anniversary, Dying Light remains determined to treat its players to complimentary goodies. Content Drop #2 is live now and brings with it a new, much-requested gun silencer.

 

Maniac Mansion out now on Steam with limited-time discount
http://www.pcgamer.com/maniac-mansion-out-now-on-steam-with-limited-time-discount/
Over the last several years, a number of LucasArts classics have been remastered—not least The Secret of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango and Full Throttle. One game which hasn't been reworked for a modern audience is 1987's Maniac Mansion, but it's nevertheless landed on Steam and is subject to a limited-time discount.

>>That's not the only old/classic game that has landed on Steam. Three Disney classics from the 16-bit era have also appeared on the store: Aladdin, The Lion King and The Jungle Book. All three of them have a 33% discount that will last until the end of the upcoming sale.

 

Total War: Warhammer 2 Rise of the Tomb Kings DLC release date set
http://www.pcgamer.com/total-war-warhammer-2-rise-of-the-tomb-kings-dlc-release-date-set/
Since its reveal in March, barely a week has passed without Total War: Warhammer 2 giving us something to report on. This is of course testament to its scope and scale, which is one of the reasons we named it our Best Strategy Game of 2017. As of next month, the Tomb Kings will storm the turn-based strategy game's war-torn battlegrounds with new units, Legendary Lords, quest chains, skills and more.
