With three days left until Fortnite Season 6 drops, Epic has taken to its social media pages to tease upcoming skins and themes in its usual inexplicable fashion.

The sudden, shocking closure of Telltale Games last week was deeply disappointing for fans of its games, including The Wolf Among Us, Tales From the Borderlands, and The Walking Dead.(...)

It's cute when animals act like people. Like when a dog stands on its hind legs or a cat watches TV or a monkey wears a hat or a sloth picks up a sniper rifle and shoots a panda through the head. Animals, they're just like us! In Super Animal Royale, which comes to Steam Early Access in October, they're definitely just like us, fighting to the death until only one remains.

 

Total War: Rome 2 is getting review-bombed on Steam because of women generals (Updated)
https://www.pcgamer.com/total-war-rome-2-is-getting-review-bombed-on-steam-because-of-women-generals/
Creative Assembly's historical strategy game Total War: Rome 2 came out in September 2013, and in the five years since it's notched more than 21,000 user reviews on Steam adding up to a "mostly positive" overall rating. Yet over the past couple of days, more than 660 reviews have rated it "overwhelmingly negative." What could have so suddenly and dramatically reversed the fortunes of a five-year-old strategy game that's still in the thick of the Steam Top 100?
Update: Creative Assembly has released a statement clarifying that spawn rates for female generals have not been changed, and the system is basically working as intended. "There have been no changes to recruitable female general spawn rates. But with the addition of the family tree feature and the new gameplay options it brings, playable factions may gain more female family members via marriage."

By all appearances, the closure of Telltale Games meant the end of the incomplete The Walking Dead: The Final Season. There was some faint hope among fans that the studio would be able to finish it, but Clementine voice actor Melissa Hutchison and designers Emily Grace Buck and Michael Kirkbride both strongly suggested that it wouldn't happen.
In a tweet released ahead of tomorrow's launch of TWD: The Final Episode chapter 2, however, Telltale suggested that it might still happen.
