Thursday news, part two:

 

We Happy Few coming in 2018 as a 'full sized, retail game,' with a full sized retail price
http://www.pcgamer.com/we-happy-few-coming-in-2018-as-a-full-sized-retail-game-with-a-full-sized-retail-price/
We Happy Few, the game about getting high and being happy in a not-quite-right alt-'60s England, has been available on Steam Early Access and GOG In Development for more than a year now. Full release is coming next year, Gearbox Publishing announced today, on April 13, 2018. But the good news of the launch date comes the bad news of a price hike, which in this case has seen the cost double from $30 to $60.

>>Shikamo has made a thread about it.

 

Bungie says Destiny silver appeared on Steam 'in error'
http://www.pcgamer.com/bungie-says-destiny-silver-appeared-on-steam-in-error/
Earlier this week, Destiny Silver, the currency used in the game's microtransaction system, went up for sale on Steam. It was only there briefly before being removed, and purchases were automatically refunded later in the day. But an obvious question remained unanswered: What was it doing there in the first place?

 

Ogre, Steve Jackson's game about a giant cybernetic tank, is coming to Steam in October
http://www.pcgamer.com/ogre-steve-jacksons-game-about-a-giant-cybernetic-tank-is-coming-to-steam-in-october/
Ogre is a tabletop wargame, designed by Steve Jackson and originally released in 1977, in which one player takes control of a massive supertank—the Ogre—while the other tries to destroy it using conventional forces. It's been updated several times since then, and in 2012 Jackson took to Kickstarter to seek $20,000 in supplemental funding for a Sixth Edition release.
At the $300,000 mark, Jackson committed to an "Ogre computer game," which I think is an entirely adorable way to describe it, that would be released for "some platform or platforms" by the end of 2014. "It might very well be a lot sooner," the Kickstarter said.
As it turns out, it's actually a lot later, but a PC game being developed by Auroch Digital was announced last year, and now it's on Steam with a release date of October 5.

Warframe studio Digital Extremes have finally unveiled the game it teased back in May, and it's a first-person shooter with... wait for it... deck building. The Amazing Eternals has been in closed alpha testing for a little while now, but today marks the first proper public look at the game. It looks pretty sweet.

 

Peter Molyneux's The Trail: Frontier Challenge is now on Steam
http://www.pcgamer.com/peter-molyneuxs-the-trail-frontier-challenge-is-now-on-steam/
22 Cans' "new" game The Trail: Frontier Challenge is actually a rework of a mobile game it released in 2016. Studio boss Peter Molyneux said in July that it would "take the core gameplay and narrative" of the mobile version, and "reimagine" it for Steam as a more strategic experience. It was expected to be ready for release this summer, and sure enough, today is the day.

 

First LawBreakers patch buffs Gunslinger, nerfs Harrier, and more
http://www.pcgamer.com/first-lawbreakers-patch-buffs-gunslinger-nerfs-harrier-and-more/
I have been playing LawBreakers a fair bit this past week and let me tell you: I am terrible at it. But it's been a long time since I've felt so inclined to get good at a shooter, and picking a character and sticking with it seems to be a better approach here than say, Overwatch or Rainbow Six. So this new patch, which quite dramatically tweaks two characters, will be consequential.
