Battlefield 5 is getting Wake Island and custom games next week
https://www.pcgamer.com/battlefield-5-is-getting-wake-island-and-custom-games-next-week/
Battlefield 5's Wake Island map, originally from Battlefield 1942, will be popping into existence next week, but ahead of that you can get a quick look thanks to the Wake Island overview trailer. I'm not particularly nostalgic about the map, which was last in Battlefield 3, but it looks like a blast.
>> That's this week.

Two years after we last looked at Ylands, "a promising sandbox game" and toolkit in development at Arma studio Bohemia Interactive, it's finally exited Early Access and is now in full release on Steam.

Rust has tubas now

The headline says it all: Rust, the game about waking up naked and alone on a strange island, mere hours away from death due to exposure and starvation, now has tubas. And not just tubas! The game's first paid DLC, announced last month, also includes a piano, a drum kit, guitars, a trumpet, a pan flute, and other cobbled-together instruments—all of them fully playable—of the sort you'd expect to find on a Gilligan's Island with guns. I'm sure no one will annoy anyone with these.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends development has been halted
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-elder-scrolls-legends-development-has-been-halted/
Three years ago, we said that Bethesda's Hearthstone-a-like The Elder Scrolls: Legends "is a refreshing take on CCGs, but its future remains cloudy." Today that future became clearer, and not in a good way: Bethesda announced on Reddit today that new content development is "on hold for the foreseeable future." The Asia-specific version of the game being operated separately by Gaea Mobile will not be affected by the change, but the expansion planned for this winter will not be released.

Star Wars is coming to Fortnite again with a scene from Rise of Skywalker to be shown at the in-game cinema.

This AI writes a text adventure while you play it
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-ai-writes-a-text-adventure-while-you-play-it/
AI Dungeon 2 by Nick Walton uses OpenAI to simulate an old-school text adventure of the Zork variety, only instead of having to read the designer's mind to figure out what to type to use this thing on that thing, you write plain English and get results. It helps to start sentences with verbs but you'll get a response to basically anything, and that response is likely to be surprising. I played a wizard exploring a ruin and within a handful of turns I'd found out I was responsible for the state of these ruins and confronted a younger version of myself.

Absurdist dictator simulator Tropico 6 was released in March and is only receiving its first paid DLC now. Developers Limbic Entertainment have been busy however, with a series of free updates over the last several months, the seventh of which, the Seguridad Social update, coincides with the release of this DLC.

Twin Peaks VR finally gets a trailer, ahead of its release this month
https://www.pcgamer.com/twin-peaks-vr-finally-gets-a-trailer-ahead-of-its-release-this-month/
An official Twin Peaks VR game was announced last year, and since then we've not heard a single quiet peep about the game. But thankfully it's still happening, and yes, it's still releasing in 2019, and yes, BOB features in it. Which is a very good reason not to play it.
