Red Dead Online's upcoming Frontier Pursuit will let you turn your outlaw into a booze baron, cooking up batches of moonshine and, eventually, operating your own speakeasy. This sounds a lot better than my current gig, transporting animal carcasses.

Valve, which acquired Campo Santo in 2018, was quiet on the matter, but suspicions intensified with the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx, which members of the Firewatch team are working on. Today studio co-founder Jake Rodkin finally clarified the situation, telling Polygon that the game is "on hold," as former Campo Santo developers are now working on other things—and not just Half-Life: Alyx.

I never set out to become a king, but apparently the king life can just choose you, as my poor confused Cleric found out in my first playthrough of 2018's Pathfinder: Kingmaker. He showed up trying to pay off his student loans and ended up sitting on a throne fending off dryads, giant owlbears, and tax collectors.

As Owlcat Games announces Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous today, the studio looks to build on the series' foundation.
