It's not really news that BioWare is working on a new Dragon Age game. For one thing, of course it is, and for another, Failbetter Games founder Alexis Kennedy told us so last August. But just in case you hadn't heard, Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah hit up Twitter today to re-confirm that, yes, something is happening.

Pawarumi is a "retro futuristic sci-fi pre-Columbian" arcade shooter that launched on Steam Early Access last October. At the time, small French indie developer Manufacture 43 said it expected to remain in Early Access for two to three months. It sounds like they were right: Pawarumi will officially release on January 30, the studio announced today.

If you thought loot box controversy was a phenomenon exclusive to late 2017, then don't hold your breath. Not only are loot boxes likely to become more ubiquitous, but so will the debates surrounding them. With analysts in Australia and ministers in Belgium recently concerned with whether they constitute gambling or not, now it's the turn of Washington state.

 

Conan Exiles director explains dong slider implementation
http://www.pcgamer.com/conan-exiles-artist-had-reference-dicks-on-her-screen-for-a-week-while-designing-dong-slider/
Conan Exiles is fast approaching its first Early Access anniversary, having entered Steam's pre-release initiative on January 31, 2017. Which means Mr Weebl's NSFW music video celebrating the game's dong physics is also almost one year old. Good luck getting it out of your head if you followed that link.
Chris' explicit gif-filled report on Exiles' endowment slider was PCGamer.com's most read news story last year. As such, while catching up with director Joel Bylos about the state of the open world survival game one year on, I felt it only right to, ahem, swing back round to its genital simulation.

 

Attack on Titan 2 shows off life beyond slaying naked giants
http://www.pcgamer.com/attack-on-titan-2-shows-off-life-beyond-slaying-naked-giants/
Slaughtering weird-looking naked giant people is a tiring pursuit, which is why it's nice to unwind with some detailed character customisation, combat training and regiment administration from time to time. As luck would have it, that's exactly what Attack on Titan 2's latest trailer is all about—showcasing how you'll busy yourself between battles in Omega Force's incoming hack-and-slash 'em up.

 

New System Shock video explores reboot's art direction
http://www.pcgamer.com/new-system-shock-video-explores-reboots-art-direction/
Born into the year Tom Hanks famously loitered at a bus stop, Roberto Baggio cost Italy the World Cup, and Liam Gallagher declared his life eternal—the original System Shock celebrates its 24th birthday later this year. All going to plan, Nightdive Studios' modern reimagining will also land in 2018.
When it does, expect a game that both pays deference to its quarter-of-a-century-old source material, and comes with its own ideas. Its latest Kickstarter backer update comes courtesy of the game's art team, and offers some interesting behind-the-scenes insights into new-age System Shock's art direction.
