The Good Life, Swery's cats-and-dogs murder mystery game, is funded (Updated)
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-good-life-swerys-cats-and-dogs-murder-mystery-game-is-almost-funded/
Update: And just like that, it's done: The Kickstarter campaign is now sitting at $622,000 in backing on a roughly $619,000 goal. (The campaign's native currency is actually Japanese Yen, so the conversion can fluctuate somewhat.) That leaves a little over two days for the $800,000 Nintendo Switch stretch goal, which leads me to think that it isn't likely to happen. Assuming that's the case, White Owls said the overage will go toward creating extra content for the game, like more outfits, seasonal content, and music. Details on that will be revealed in a future update.

As well as jewellery crafting, wine and murder, the Psijic skill line is another notable part of the offering in Summerset, The Elder Scrolls Online's upcoming expansion. The trailer above details how players will travel to the island of Artaeum to join the Psijic Order, and what they'll be up against. This skill line opens up unique abilities for players, like being able to slow or freeze enemies, rewind time or meditate to give your health a boost.

 

This week's Far Cry 5 live event can net you a shovel gun

Another week, another Far Cry 5 live event, and this one has a particularly goofy reward: a rocket launcher that distributes shovels instead of explosives. Once you've opted in for the event, which is called White Collar Job, go on the hunt for wolves using a bow and arrow. When you've bagged ten of them—and those can include Jacob's Judges (which are wolves but meaner)—you'll receive the Shovel Launcher.

Stardew Valley's newly released multiplayer beta also introduced a smattering of singleplayer content, not the least of which is the option to build Pam a nice new house. Players have been racing to work out the rest of the new content and, as Polygon spotted, made an awkward discovery in the process: in the beta update, if you woo everyone in town, your heartbroken partners will gang up, shame you, leave you, and then avoid you around town.

The long-running game jam Ludum Dare recently held its 41st event, which was dedicated to making games that combine two "incompatible" genres. As previously reported, Ludum Dare 41 spawned surreal adventure game You Left Me. It also gave us Oni Hunter, a 2D puzzle-stealth game about clearing groups of bad guys in an instant. You can play it for free in your browser here.

https://www.pcgamer.com/beyond-good-and-evil-2-will-get-a-livestream-update-later-this-week/
Despite a protracted period of off-and-on development, it looks like Beyond Good & Evil 2 is definitely, undeniably, 100 percentedly a focus for Ubisoft at present. The latest evidence of this is a promised livestream hosted by the publisher, which will take place on May 3 at 9am PDT, 12pm, ET, 5pm in London and 2pm on May 4 in Sydney.

What's on your agenda this weekend? Catch ups with friends? Dinner with the family? Historically inaccurate warring between samurai soldiers, medieval knights and burly vikings? If the latter's your bag, Ubisoft's For Honor is free to try for the next few days.

 

Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia's launch trailer wants you to rewrite history
https://www.pcgamer.com/total-war-saga-thrones-of-britannia-launch-trailer-wants-you-to-rewrite-history/
Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia marches into battle today, and tasks players with conquering the British Isles. In doing so, perhaps you'll side with Alfred the Great and overthrow with force. Perhaps you'll strategise with a Gaelic warlord. Perhaps you'll force divorce upon untrustworthy allies before murdering them while their sulking backs are turned. Each to their own, I guess.
To mark the occasion, Thrones has a launch trailer.
