Conan Exiles, which really only features the titular barbarian-king for a couple of minutes, is showing some love to Khitan players, and fans of the Khitan aesthetic with its first piece of post-launch DLC: The Imperial East Pack. Buildings, furniture, weapons and armour with a distinct Khitan bent can all be crafted using the DLC, adding a bit more variety of the Exiled Lands.

Ubisoft's games are actually political, says CEO

The Division 2, set in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, in the capital city of the United States, while the remnants of a corrupt government engineer a second Civil War, is not political. That was the message from creative director Terry Spier in an interview with Polygon during E3. It seemed to run contrary to everything we’d been told about the game, however. Now Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has responded to the criticism with a different message.
Ubisoft games are, in fact, political. But they’re also politically neutral.

Update: With his next game due to be officially unveiled this week, Edmund McMillen took to Twitter to share more information about the mystery project, along with its first official artwork.
Previously, McMillen said he's working on a turn-based multiplayer game that's based on one of his old games but is not directly connected to The Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, or his upcoming puzzle game, The Legend of Bum-bo. He's since clarified that it is, in fact, a Binding of Isaac game, but it's also something completely new. He describes it as "a spinoff that kind of connects the end of Isaac to ideas I have for a sequel," and it's set "after/during the end of the current game."

It's common practice for people involved in the development of new products—say, for instance, videogames—to sign non-disclosure agreements, legally-binding promises to keep everything hush-hush. And if you don't think they're taken seriously, consider the case of Thomas Hannah, a former Fortnite tester who Epic has sued for allegedly leaking its plans for the game's fourth season before it went live.

https://www.pcgamer.com/what-the-hell-is-going-on-with-hearthstones-matchmaking/
If you've ever played an online game, you've probably complained about the matchmaking. You've pubstomped low-rank players who never stood a chance, and you've been crushed by high-rank players you had no business facing. For a variety of algorithmic reasons, sometimes bad matches just happen. But for the best players in Hearthstone, they've been happening a lot lately.

CD Projekt Red has launched an ongoing blog series that breaks down its Cyberpunk 2077 E3 trailer frame by frame. By the developer's reckoning, "almost every scene in the E3 2018 trailer tells a story of its own"—and while we gathered everything we learned from E3 2018 and more, it's always nice to hear from the developer itself.
