In Space Hulk: Tactics, the Warhammer 40K turn-based strategy game due out October 9, you won't just be able to play as Space Marines—you'll also get control of the nasty Genestealers in multiplayer matches, skirmishes, and a standalone campaign. In a new trailer, above, developer Cyanide Studio details exactly how they'll work, and they'll require a completely different playstyle to the Space Marine Terminators.

 

Isometric RPG Pathfinder: Kingmaker is out today

I have a problem: There are too many RPGs that I really want to play. It's not the worst problem in the world to have, I suppose, but it's frustrating when a new one drops and I'm still trying to squeeze in time for Pillars of Eternity. Today would be one of those days, as Pathfinder: Kingmaker, the isometric RPG based on the tabletop game of the same name, is now live.

A former Telltale Games employee has filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that the recent layoff of more than 250 employees without warning or severance is a violation of the WARN [Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notifcation] Act.

 

Early footage of Telltale's Stranger Things game has apparently leaked online

Following last week's terrible news that Telltale Games has let most of its employees go as part of a "majority studio closure", there's been a lot of discussion about the games that have been canned in the midst of that.
One of those games is Stranger Things, based on the hugely successful Netflix series, and first announced back in June. We reported yesterday that Netflix still wants a game to go ahead and, in a statement, said that they'd look for "other options." But it seems we may have a glimpse at how Telltale's game would have looked, thanks to video clips leaked on Reddit and 4chan.

 

The Walking Dead: The Final Season is being de-listed from all storefronts

If despite current events you're still thinking of picking up the Final Season of The Walking Dead, then as of today you might find this difficult, as Telltale is currently de-listing the product from all storefronts.
Techraptor initially reported the discovery, which was made by Twitter user Pixelburst. It appears the beleaguered company has removed the game from sale on various storefronts including Steam and GoG. The latter’s store-page for the Final Season now reads “Coming Soon” while the former only offers a downloadable demo of the Final Season. Pixelburst also observed that Episode 2 is still listed for people who own the Season Pass.

 

Sony finally allows Fortnite cross-play between PS4, PC, Xbox, and Switch
https://www.pcgamer.com/sony-finally-allows-fortnite-cross-play-between-ps4-pc-xbox-and-switch/
Earlier this summer, Fortnite players discovered that if they played the game on a PS4, they couldn't use the same Epic account on a Switch. And then they got very mad, and we learned that once again Sony was blocking cross-play with its console competitors, which as Steven said a couple weeks ago, hurts PC players, too. All the peer pressure seems to have worked, though, as Sony has finally changed its mind.
An open beta starting today will allow PS4 players to play with users on Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC, and Mac, as well as enable cross-platform progression, so they can take their account between PC, Switch, and PS4 if they want.
