Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus teaser stars a Nazi superhero called Blitzmensch
http://www.pcgamer.com/wolfenstein-2-the-new-colossus-teaser-stars-a-nazi-superhero-called-blitzmensch/
I loved the old '60s Batman television series when I was growing up (and hey, I still do). So even though this new "Blitzmensch" teaser for Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is more about setting the stage rather than showing off the game, it does such a great job of nailing the ambiance of its inspiration that it really is worth a watch. (And now I've got that stupid "Bliiiiiiitzmennnnnsch!" song stuck in my head.)

 

Overwatch director dunks on toxic player, promises changes to reporting system
http://www.pcgamer.com/overwatch-director-dunks-on-toxic-player-promises-changes-to-reporting-system/
A funny thing happened on the Overwatch forums earlier this week. It began when a user complained about being banned for a week for "disruptive gameplay" in Quickplay, which he said was evidence that the system for reporting bad behavior "is clearly automated and abusable." In response, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan killed him.

Sunless Sea and its expansion Zubmariner make for one of the best Lovecraft-inspired PC games ever, and still contains some of my favorite writing in recent memory. In Sunless Skies, Failbetter Games is taking it's creaky neo-Victorian ships to space, and this time, they're letting players give them a test drive through Early Access on Steam.

 

Obsidian almost made a Game of Thrones RPG

Game of Thrones is everywhere. It's inescapable. I don't even watch it, and yet, I feel like the new episode has been spoiled for me. But that wasn't the case back in 2005, when George R. R. Martin's novels were still (relatively) obscure and the TV series hadn't even been considered.
So you can understand why Obsidian might think twice about making a game adaptation. The studio, famous for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Pillars of Eternity (among many others), declined to take on the project when EA Partners approached them in 2005, according to an interview with co-founder Feargus Urquhart over on Eurogamer.

 

Life is Strange: Before the Storm is out today, drops heart-wrenching trailer
http://www.pcgamer.com/life-is-strange-before-the-storm-out-now-drops-heart-wrenching-trailer-in-celebration-of-friendship/
Last week, Life is Strange: Before the Storm launched a typically moody and at times angry launch trailer. It's out today and, in what seems like a bid to soften the blow, has dropped a heart-wrenching short designed to underscore the value of friendship.

When I asked Cardboard Computer's Jake Elliott how Kentucky Route Zero's development was going earlier this year he told me: "Yeah, we're definitely still working on the game. More soon, this will be a busy summer yet." The developer has now confirmed its fifth and final act is due early next year.

 

WoW's 7.3 update cuts flying mounts to encourage exploration, says game director

World of Warcraft: Legion's final major update, number 7.3, is now live having teased the battle for Argus at last week's Gamescom. While attending the conference in Cologne, I sat down with game director Ion Hazzikostas and asked why WoW's 7.2 update introduced flying mounts before the latest instalment dropped them.

Figment is the latest venture from Bedtime Digital Games that first caught my eye back in March. In case you missed that, know that it's a beautiful isometric puzzle-driven musical adventure game that's set inside the animated confines of the human mind. It may also be the prettiest game I've seen this year, and it's now got a launch date: September 22.
