Thursday news, part two:

Stardew Valley multiplayer out now on PC
https://www.pcgamer.com/stardew-valley-multiplayer-out-now-on-pc/
Stardew Valley's multiplayer is live now on PC.
First announced back in 2016, Concerned Ape's farm 'em up supports four player co-op that's said to be "nearly identical to singleplayer", but with three pals. In MP, you'll work towards a common goal. Any singleplayer game can be converted by having Robin build one or more cabins on your farm, too.

 

Sunless Sea 'Tales of the Grave-Garden' expansion mod adds stories, ships, guns
https://www.pcgamer.com/sunless-sea-tales-of-the-grave-garden-expansion-mod-adds-stories-ships-guns/
Sunless Sea is coming to PS4 consoles, I learned today. And while I'm not really fussed about that, the news did remind me I hadn't checked on the game's PC modding community in some time. So I did. And I discovered Enneagon's impressive Tales of the Grave-Garden expansion mod that launched earlier this week. Good old serendipity.

 

Hypergun is a neon roguelite FPS with weird weapons and petty office politics
https://www.pcgamer.com/hypergun-is-a-neon-roguelite-fps-with-weird-weapons-and-petty-office-politics/
Hypergun is a high-speed roguelite FPS about a man named Dewey Owens, an intern at DevTech Labs who has become instrumental in the development of humanity's ultimate-weapon defense against alien invaders. Not because he's a particularly talented warrior or weaponsmith, but because he broke into the office over the weekend (apparently fending off extraterrestrial hordes is strictly a 9-to-5 gig) and ended up in the testing sim.

 

Death's Gambit is a lush 2D fantasy RPG releasing this month
https://www.pcgamer.com/deaths-gambit-is-a-lush-2d-fantasy-rpg-releasing-this-month/
Death's Gambit is a challenging 2D action RPG which has been in development since at least 2016. When you watch the new trailer embedded below, you'll probably be put in mind of Dark Souls, and there's some fairly obvious comparisons to be drawn with Dead Cells, too. But this is no rogue-lite: it's a meticulously pieced together Metroidvania with tough bosses and a very detailed and vibrant pixel-art aesthetic. Between this, Dead Cells and Chasm, we're spoilt for choice at the moment.

 

The biggest battle in EVE Online's entire history is happening right now and you can watch
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-biggest-battle-in-eve-onlines-entire-history-is-happening-right-now-and-you-can-watch/
EVE Online is in the midst of easily the biggest battle in its entire history right now. In the system of X47L-Q, some 3,500 players have amassed to either attack or defend a Keepstar citadel owned by Northern Coalition. So far, each side has committed a total of almost 400 Titans, the biggest and most expensive ships in EVE Online and the extremely valuable backbone of EVE's mighty armadas. For some perspective, the previous record-holding battle, The Bloodbath of B-R5RB, only saw a total of just over 200 titans. This battle might end up costing both sides a million real-world dollars (if you were to convert it to subscription time) if it doesn't end early. Simply put, this is the fight that EVE Online players have been wanting for years.

>>The article is from 16 hours ago, so who knows if the battle is still going on or not.

https://www.pcgamer.com/a-quashed-world-of-warcraft-bug-was-deleting-players-entire-quest-log/
A nasty World of Warcraft bug has caused all in-progress quests in a player's quest log to be automatically abandoned. First brought to light in the World of Warcraft forums about four hours ago, Blizzard has already confirmed they've addressed the root cause of the issue.

PUBG's latest limited-time Event Mode enters its 4x4km Sanhok map. Named 'Sanhok Forty-Fivers', it's a four-person squad (80 players max) free-for-all whereby the only spawnable guns are compatible with blue-boxed .45 ammunition.

Cyberpunk 2077 ends trailer breakdown series with fast cars and fancy clothes
https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-ends-trailer-breakdown-series-with-fast-cars-and-fancy-clobber/
Part of the reason I've covered Cyberpunk 2077's E3 trailer frame-by-frame series in its entirety, is because CD Projekt Red hasn't yet released footage from its E3 demo. Leaked audio is fine, but I've since been keen to learn more about the FPS/RPG hybrid from the dev's perspective. The series' final breakdown looks at cars and clothes.

 

Life is Strange 2 reveals new teaser trailer
https://www.pcgamer.com/life-is-strange-2-teases-teaser-trailer-ahead-of-launch-next-month/
Life is Strange 2 will land in September, said Andy in the wake of E3. Back then, a 20-second teaser showed off some nice music, a launch date—September 27—and a old, battered rucksack. The latest short shows a wee bit more than that. But not by much.
