No Man's Sky can, at times, be a bit spooky. Some planets are truly otherworldly with atmospheric weather and flora that , others are dismal and monochromatic and drenched with a feeling of dread. Plus, there's the occasional biological horror. So it makes sense that Hello Games might try to amp up the scares, especially since Halloween is approaching.

Disgaea 5 Complete launched on PC earlier this week, and it's easily the largest instalment in the notoriously time-consuming strategy RPG series. But according to the game's publisher NIS America, the Steam version lacks features contained in the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions. Namely, every online feature.

In today's status report on the DayZ website, Brand Manager Martin Čulák and other members of the team laid out Bohemia's plans for the remainder of 2018—which still include releasing both the beta and the 1.0 version of the game. Today's post essentially draws a line between the features that will make it into 1.0 and those that will be held until a future update, post-launch. In short, it's good news if you like building things but bad news if you like throwing things.
