Ubisoft puts the brakes on one of Rainbow Six Siege's fast defenders, Jager
https://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-puts-the-brakes-on-one-of-rainbow-six-sieges-fast-defenders-jager/
Jager has been a staple in Siege since the shooter's launch at the end of 2015. The German operator is one of just seven fast defenders—characters with a three-speed, one-armor rating—which makes him a reliable peeker and flanker for players who don't want to hibernate on the objective. His gadget cancels grenades, an invaluable unique ability until Wamai arrived a few months ago. He's great.
But now Ubisoft is indicating that Jager will no longer be a member of the Three Speed Club. In changes introduced yesterday to the test server, which Ubisoft uses to vet its balancing ideas, Jager became a two-armor, two-speed operator, joining Smoke, Mute, Lesion, Oryx, and others with that rating.

Totally Reliable Delivery Service has launched, and it's free-to-keep for a week

Totally Reliable Delivery Service launched on the Epic Games Store today, and if frivolous physics madness is what you're after, it looks pretty good. Andy described it as "Goat Simulator crossed with UPS" which sounds annoying, but it only takes watching some footage (see below) to be convinced that it'd make a helluva game to boot up with friends. Imagine Just Cause, except you're making deliveries.

Here's our roundup of the best April Fools' Day jokes of 2020
https://www.pcgamer.com/april-fools-day-2020/
Every year inevitably gets around to April 1, and every year game companies large and small cook up gags to amuse their fans and confuse the poor game journos who have to figure out fact from fiction. And every year, we round up the best of them to ensure no one misses out on high-quality hijinks. The mood is a little more subdued this year than it has been in others, for reasons we don't need to get into here, but there's still some fun happening out there, so we're gathering it all together.

A Rogue Legacy 2 announcement seems imminent

When Rogue Legacy first released in 2013, the world wasn't quite as awash in roguelite platformers as it is now. I reinstalled it a few months ago, and can gladly confirm that it wasn't novelty that carried it to success back then: it's a genuinely fun take on the formula, and the randomised character loadouts still manage to surprise and amuse.

A brand new Commandos game is in development

Back in 2018, Tropico publisher Kalypso Media announced it was resurrecting Commandos, the sneaky real-time tactics series. It started with a remaster of Commandos 2, which arrived in January, but Kalypso also promised new games. Now it's following through, announcing that Claymore Game Studios, one of the publisher's internal developers, has started work on the next Commandos.
>> I hope it's more like the first two and less like the third one but, considering that they decided to remaster the second one, that may be the direction they'll take.
