Fortnite players puzzle over the appearance of a mysterious cloud
https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnite-players-puzzle-over-the-appearance-of-a-mysterious-cloud/
Last week, James was convinced that winter was coming to Fortnite, and it increasingly looks like he’s probably right. It shouldn’t be surprising, given the game’s proclivity for fancy events and the fact that Christmas isn’t far off, and the evidence is starting to mount up. Grab your pipe and your deerstalker.
>> Oh, and the Wild West mode had dynamite, but they've already removed it.

Sean Bean, Hitman 2’s first elusive target, appeared in the game today. If you need someone to die, you really can’t do better than everyone’s favourite prematurely killed off Yorkshireman. The man of many deaths is playing Mark Faba, a disgraced MI5 operative who, appropriately, has been assassinated more than a dozen times but never seems to stay dead.

Overwatch's new hero Ashe has a problem with her aim, a fix is on the way
https://www.pcgamer.com/overwatchs-new-hero-ashe-has-a-problem-with-her-aim-a-fix-is-on-the-way/
The Wild West-style gunslinger Ashe came off the Overwatch PTR a week ago, and her debut hasn't gone perfectly smoothly. Aiming is the issue: As Blizzard forumite OnlyReaper described it a day after Ashe went live, aiming down sights "feels so clunky and the hitscan feels like a projectile... I main McCree and Soldier, I have good precision with both, but it seems like I can't hit anything consistently like with my McCree."

Underworld Ascendant developer video promises that fixes are coming
https://www.pcgamer.com/underworld-ascendant-developer-video-promises-that-fixes-are-coming/
The first-person dungeon crawler Underworld Ascendant was probably the game I was most looking forward to this year. So it really breaks my heart to see that its release has been pretty much a catastrophe: Underworld is currently rated "mostly negative" on Steam, and a lowly 2.0 user score on Metacritic—where there are currently no critic reviews at all (we have one in the works). The situation is bad enough that game director Joe Fielder posted a brief, ever-so-slightly desperate-looking development update video promising that the studio is still working on it.

World of Warcraft's most infamous disaster is becoming a Hearthstone card
https://www.pcgamer.com/world-of-warcrafts-most-infamous-disaster-is-now-a-hearthstone-card/
Few moments are as memorable in all of World of Warcraft history as the Corrupted Blood Incident. On September 13, 2005, a player returned from the grueling new Zul'Gurub raid and summoned his pet in one of Azeroth's capital cities only to find that, due to a bug, the pet had acquired a debuff that wasn't supposed to exist outside of the raid.
And now, 13 years later, Hearthstone is finally paying tribute to that cataclysmic moment in its own, cool way. Meek Hakkar, the Soulflayer, the boss from which corrupted blood originated, now transformed into a Hearthstone card.

Enter the Gungeon expansion plans scrapped, development ending after next update
https://www.pcgamer.com/enter-the-gungeon-expansion-plans-scrapped-development-ending-after-next-update/
The roguelike bullet hell Enter the Gungeon was quite good when it came out in 2016 and got better this summer with the big Advanced Gungeons & Draguns update, which enabled Shaun to suck less at it. As it turns out, that will be the final expansion for the game: Developer Dodge Roll said in a lengthy update on Reddit that after five years of working on the game, it's ready to move on to something else.

Walk on the skin of a god in Pillar of Eternity 2's last DLC
https://www.pcgamer.com/walk-on-the-skin-of-a-god-in-pillar-of-eternity-2s-last-dlc/
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire’s nautical misadventures come to an end next month, lamentably, with the launch of the final piece of DLC, the ominously titled Forgotten Sanctum. With it comes a new island to explore, a dungeon to fight your way through and the archipelago’s best-kept secret to uncover.

Planetside 2's new faction lets you play as a robot mercenary who will fight for anyone
https://www.pcgamer.com/planetside-2s-new-faction-lets-you-play-as-a-robot-mercenary-who-will-fight-for-anyone/
After six years, Planetside 2 is getting a fourth faction. The massive-scale FPS celebrated its sixth anniversary yesterday and, during a livestream, revealed the game’s first new faction since launch. Nanite Systems Operatives don’t function like soldiers, however, as they’re robotic mercenaries who fight on behalf of other other factions.

Kenshi is a post-apocalyptic Mount & Blade that leaves Early Access soon
https://www.pcgamer.com/kenshi-is-a-post-apocalyptic-mount-and-blade-that-leaves-early-access-soon/
Kenshi, which first appeared on Steam Early Access way back in 2013, is as a peculiar and ambitious RPG. It is, at times, an RTS, a squad management game, a trading RPG and several other things, depending on the life you decide to lead in the massive sandbox. It’s leaving Early Access on December 6, 12 years after work initially began.
