Much has been made of Sledgehammer Games' commitment to authenticity and a realistic depiction of war in Call of Duty: WWII. Actor Josh Duhamel said during the reveal livestream that "they spent so much time making this historically accurate, it's going to expose the whole WWII story to a whole new generation." For multiplayer action, however, Sledgehammer Games is taking a few liberties.

The Darkest Dungeon expansion The Crimson Court is out today, bringing with it the villainous vampire-hunting Fanatic, a new hero named the Flagellant, and also an update to the base game that makes a pile of changes and bug fixes laid out in some not-terribly-detailed patch notes. As befits a moment of this magnitude, there is also a trailer.

 

Cladun Returns: This Is Sengoku! is out on Steam right now
http://www.pcgamer.com/cladun-returns-this-is-sengoku-is-out-on-steam-right-now/
Nippon Ichi Software, purveyors of whimsical-yet-often-complex Japanese RPGs, has just launched Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku! on Steam. The action RPG has a pleasant retro 8-bit aesthetic, which isn't a particularly novel characteristic but, given that it comes via the publisher of the Disgaea series, I'm interested.

 

Project Rap Rabbit hangs in balance after Kickstarter falls short
http://www.pcgamer.com/project-rap-rabbit-hangs-in-balance-after-kickstarter-falls-short/
Those of you old to enough to remember mid-90s console gaming will probably recall the hype that enveloped NanaOn-Sha's Parappa the Rapper—a music rhythm game that laid the foundations for the likes of Guitar Hero and Rock Band further down the line.
Project Rap Rabbit was to be a similar "rhythm-action" music game that asked for £855,000. Yesterday, upon the campaign's closure, it'd raised just £162,057—less that 19 percent of its goal.

 

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds teases new gun due in next update
http://www.pcgamer.com/playerunknowns-battlegrounds-teases-new-gun-due-in-next-update/
Last month's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Monthly Update introduced a new sniper rifle, new stock attachments, and some pretty neat stunt-provoking motorbike physics. Looking to the following month's June update at the time, the game's creator Brendan Greene suggested he and his team would be "spending the next month focused on server performance" and as such we "should see a bigger improvement" when the next one rolls out.

 

The Diablo 3 Rise of the Necromancer pack has a price, and is out next week
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-diablo-3-rise-of-the-necromancer-pack-has-a-price-and-is-out-next-week/
The much-loved Diablo 2 class, the Necromancer, is coming to Diablo 3 next Tuesday, available digitally via the Blizzard Shop on June 27 for $14.99 / £12.99. The returning class has been developed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Diablo series. It was originally due later in the year, but Necromancers are very good at coming back from the dead.

 

Hunt: Showdown showcases terrifying extended in-game footage
http://www.pcgamer.com/hunt-showdown-showcases-terrifying-extended-in-game-footage/
"Hunt: Showdown is like Van Helsing meets Cthulhu", is how our Steven describes Hunt: Showdown, PC Gamer's E3 2017 Game of Show, before then comparing it to DayZ, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and Stalker. Even if you missed the teaser trailer that seeped out of the Los Angeles Convention Centre show floor last week, that billing alone would suggest it's onto something good.

 

Reaching for Petals is a narrative exploration game that echoes Dear Esther and Firewatch
http://www.pcgamer.com/reaching-for-petals-is-a-narrative-exploration-game-that-echoes-dear-esther-and-firewatch/
Reaching for Petals is a narrative-led exploration game that aims to combine "philosophical narration, poetic writing and a powerful and engaging story." In doing so, it looks to echo some well received genre similars such as Dear Esther, What Remains of Edith Finch and Firewatch.
