Goodbye Volcano High is a "cinematic narrative" game from developer KO_OP, an artist owned studio that previously brought us Lara Croft GO: The Mirror of Spirits and some interesting oddities like GNOG. This one stars anthropomorphic animals in a high school drama about "the end of an era" and "the start of a love story."

The last time we covered Little Devil Inside was way back in 2015, when the gorgeously adorable survival RPG was crowdfunding on Kickstarter. It's obviously made some ground since then, as developer Neostream showed off a new trailer today at Sony's Playstation 5 presentation. Watch it above.

The big Destiny 2 news this week was the launch of Season of Arrivals and the reveal of the next expansion, Beyond Light. (And the insta-kill grenade launcher, I suppose.) But big things are happening in the Crucible, too. Bungie announced today that it's removed skill-based matchmaking from all of the game's PvP playlists except Elimination, Survival, and Survival: Freelance.

Dauntless's battles typically play out across some lush floating islands, but its latest update, Call of the Void, is notably darker (and more purple). The update, which launched today, introduces a new behemoth called Thrax, who's waiting out there in the void for you to come throw down.

Gods & Monsters, Ubisoft's mythological RPG, doesn't have a release date yet, but yesterday it went live on Stadia, allowing a few hundred people to play for 30 minutes.
Stadia users spotted a new game on the store named Orpheus, but when they started playing they were instead treated to a very early build of Gods & Monsters, full of unfinished assets and lots of stand-ins from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.
