Developer Team Ninja may be looking to get away from the worst of the games' bouncy excesses in Dead or Alive 6, however. Director Yohei Shimbori told Game Informer during an E3 presentation that the studio is looking to move away from the overt skin show and get the focus back on the fighting.

Xaviant addresses The Culling 2 gameplay leak and sequel concerns
https://www.pcgamer.com/xaviant-addresses-the-culling-2-gameplay-leak-and-sequel-concerns/
The Culling 2 was announced last week, just a few months after development of the original Culling had ended—which itself happened only a couple of months after the game had been fully released. That rapid-fire stop-and-go struck me as a bit odd, especially since the battle royale genre is more crowded than ever now. (Hello, Fortnite.) But Xaviant said that the timing isn't quite as "off" as it might appear, because the game had been in Early Access for so long.

A group of Fortnite players noticed something odd and unpleasantly surprising in the way four metal floor tiles came together as part of an in-game dance floor they were constructing: Where the four corners joined, a very distinct swastika had formed.
Update: The swastika fix won't be deployed this week because the update is already locked down, but you can expect it to arrive in the next one.

Dead Cells' vast array of weapons and catalogue of cool animations earned the genre hybrid a place on our list of the best metroidvania games on PC. Motion Twin has now revealed it's getting mod support. And I'm excited.
In a Steam Community update that first explores Mac and Linux support and a returning pixel art font, the developer explains Dead Cells has "limited, basic mod support working" internally. Once some compatibility issues are ironed out, modding tools will launch proper.
