Announced at E3 2014, Criterion's unnamed extreme racing game was missing from E3 2015, so we were expecting a wealth of details at this year's show. An open-world racer from the Burnout devs featuring choppers, boats, ATVs, wingsuits and more sounds fantastic.

Instead, Eurogamer has discovered that the project quietly died.

As a sort of lead-in to the launch of Battlefield 1, EA has announced that it will be making select BF4/Hardline expansion packs free for a limited time. The first of these is Second Assault for Battlefield 4, which contains four maps from Battlefield 3, maps that have been "updated with the power of the Frostbite 3 engine". Here it is on Origin, but if you're into procrastination, be aware that it's only free until June 28. After that it'll be yours to keep, however.

Ubisoft's games are often derided for their homogeneity, but every few years one will change up the formula a wee bit, shaking you out of your Ubi-slumber with just enough energy to try another one of their massive open world games. I'm speaking personally of course, and personally I'm very glad that Watch Dogs 2 won't feature now-traditional Ubi-towers that reveal missions and other opportunities on the map. That's confirmed in this Eurogamer article, which reveals that you'll now unlock things by getting more and more followers for your hacking group DedSec.

Well this is lovely. Andrew, Ian and Paul Gower, the original creators of long-running MMO Runescape, have returned for One Last Job. Or rather, One Last Quest, released to coincide with the game's 15th anniversary. The Gower Quest, co-designed by the brothers themselves, features plenty of jokes and plenty of cabbages, while the trio cameo in the quest as a group of mages. It's free to play now, in the free to play MMO, and the rewards include a pet cabbage and a 'cabbagemancer' outfit and staff.
