LEGACY OF KAIN HAS "50/50" CHANCE OF COMING BACK THIS GEN

http://www.pcgamer.com/legacy-of-kain-has-5050-chance-of-coming-back-this-gen/

The Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver/Blood Omen/Why Does It Have So Many Damned Names series is pretty great, because it's pretty weird, and dark, and more gothic than a grumpy teenager sitting on top of a cathedral. Another (single-player) one would be good, and there's a 50% chance of that happening this generation, according to Crystal Dynamics.

The Banner Saga 2, the follow-up to last year's hit turn-based Viking simulator, was announced in late 2014 with a very unspecific release target of "2015." Now it's late 2015, and according to Eurogamer, the game won't show up until sometime in the first quarter of 2016.

Did you know there was a Borderlands Online game in development? Well yes, there was a Borderlands Online game in development, but it was exclusive to China. It's not uncommon for publishers to develop free-to-play iterations of their games for Asian regions, but it evidently didn't work out too well for publisher 2K Games, because the game is no longer in development.

 

3D PLATFORMER POI LEAPS ONTO STEAM EARLY ACCESS

Of course, 3D platformers were really 3D exploration games, plonking you in non-linear worlds full of secrets, collectibles, and probably lots of talking animals. For one reason or another, the genre fell out of favour, but a few games are aiming to bring it back: Yooka Laylee, A Hat In Time, and now Poi. PolyKid's Poi is a "3D adventure platformer throwback to the 90s era of classic platforming games. Explore big worlds, compete in challenge levels, meet quirky characters and pull off classic platforming feats on a journey to become a Master Explorer". Sounds alright, that.

You'll soon be able to land on the sea in Kerbal Space Program, an action that would have once led to a miserable, water-based death. Update 1.0.5 lets you make an emergency landing on the sea; you can also make vehicles able to take off and land from water like it's no big thing.
