Life Beyond, formerly Project C, unveiled its new name today, along with some very early in-game footage. Teased in March as a single-shard MMO with a simulated ecosystem and lots of player-driven systems, it was still largely a mystery until recently, when we found out more about developer Darewise's plans for its alien sandbox.

Two years ago, Gearbox halted development on its hero shooter Battleborn after it failed to catch on with audiences, even as a free-to-play game. Despite that dead end, the studio said at the time that it would keep the game running "for the foreseeable future," and to Gearbox's credit it's done exactly that. But the final end is now in sight—although it's still quite a long way off.

Ubisoft wants plot and character to be a bigger part of its multiplayer FPS in 2020. Over the course of the game's standard quarterly updates, Rainbow Six Siege presentation director Alexander Karpazis told IGN in a recent interview, Ubi aspires to tell a continuous story.

Leap between planets in cosmic free puzzle game Starstruck

Now this is clever. Starstruck is a physics-y puzzle game that you can play by yourself, or with a chum in local multiplayer, with each little astronaut being connected by a cord. The goal in each stage is to reach the exit point (sounds easy enough, right?), but, as the game is set in outer space, this is actually more complicated than it appears. You have to be wary of gravity, or rather the lack of it: one wrong jump and you may find yourself cartwheeling through space to your inevitable doom.

VR is a 'very high' priority for the Microsoft Flight Simulator team

I've noticed plenty of people saying that they'll finally jump on the VR bandwagon because of Half-Life: Alyx, but there's another game that makes strapping a big ol' headset to your face an incredibly seductive prospective: Microsoft Flight Simulator.
>> I can already picture those hardcore sim fans, with the VR glasses and surrounded by all the accessories for these kind of games... wow.

The Surge 2 gets more free DLC, letting you dress like a future cop

The Surge 2's new JCPD gear does not look remotely comfortable. The latest free DLC pack lets all players dress up like one of Jericho's unfriendly future cops, which means strapping into a big, bulky suit with lots of armour with sharp edges. The getup looks like someone tried to combine their love of Michael Bay's Transformers and Deus Ex and, I have to admit, I kinda dig it.
