Thursday news, the sequel:

Outriders players will get 'God Roll' replacements for lost inventories
https://www.pcgamer.com/outriders-players-will-get-god-roll-replacements-for-lost-inventories/
It's taken a long time and a lot of effort to squash the nasty Outriders bug that’s been wiping player inventories, but the patch deployed last week appears to be doing the job. Publisher Square Enix said today the update is "successfully deployed and continuing to prevent any further complete inventory wipes," and that means it can finally start working on other things, including inventory restorations.
The further good news, for a lot of players, is that the returned equipment will be in better shape—possibly much better shape—than when it was lost.

Call of Duty: Warzone's map just got nuked

Call of Duty: Warzone's long-awaited nuke event is underway. The Destruction of Verdansk event kicked off at 12 pm Pacific today with a massive 100-player survival mode against player-controlled zombies. The event culminates in a dramatic cutscene depicting the nuclear destruction of Verdansk, but many frustrated players are currently staring at a server queue trying to see it for themselves.

After the big nuke, Call of Duty: Warzone players are stuck on Rebirth Island

Call of Duty: Warzone's Verdansk map just got nuked. You might have had trouble staying connected to the game long enough to see it for yourself, but all you really need to know is that zombies overran the map and the powers that be decided to solve the problem with a weapon of mass destruction.
Following the event, Verdansk will no longer be an option on Warzone's playlist selection. The only mode on offer, for now, is Rebirth Island Resurgence with a nighttime twist. The map opens with a message that reads "15 minutes after the destruction of Verdansk," and apparently the map now has a new location: the Control Center. You can't seem to do anything in there yet, but its appearance may be linked with the continued shenanigans that Activision is teasing for tomorrow.

Following last week’s brief reveal, Capcom has shed some new light on its forthcoming Resident Evil 4 VR port which, as we suspected, is an Oculus Quest 2 exclusive. The port appeared at today’s Oculus Games Showcase, and while the gameplay footage itself amounts to a stingy 30 seconds, some interesting details accompanied it.

New trailer for 40K FPS Necromunda: Hired Gun shows you'll be doing more than just shooting
https://www.pcgamer.com/new-trailer-for-40k-fps-necromunda-hired-gun-shows-youll-be-doing-more-than-just-shooting/
I wasn't fussed by the previous trailer for Necromunda: Hired Gun, a first-person shooter set in the mega-gritty Warhammer 40,000 universe. Wall-running, grapple-hooking, and an autogun that seems like a generic assault rifle didn't really sell me on it, though the pet cyber-mastiff attack dog was a nice touch. The latest trailer does a much better job making Hired Gun seem interesting because it lets us see a bit of what goes on between all the shootybang, knifeystab, and doggybite.

This game is about committing tax evasion as a turnip
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-game-is-about-committing-tax-evasion-as-a-turnip/
I love a slightly bonkers game as a palate cleanser every now and then, and Snoozy Kazoo's Turnip Boy Commits Tax evasion is exactly that. It's out on Steam today, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a quick, snappy game full of humour.

Here's a brief, early scene from Life Is Strange: True Colors
https://www.pcgamer.com/heres-a-brief-early-scene-from-life-is-strange-true-colors/
The bulk of Life Is Strange: True Colors might take place in the achingly pastoral town of Haven Springs. But a new trailer gives our leading empath Alex a much colder welcome—and shows off some impressive facial capture in the process.

Call Of Duty: Warzone's new map was briefly playable in private lobbies
https://www.pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-warzones-new-map-was-briefly-playable-in-private-lobbies/
Call Of Duty: Warzone just nuked Verdansk. But while most of us are still waiting for the battle royale's new map to drop, it seems some players were briefly able to sneak into the new arena via private games.
Eurogamer reports that the new map, dubbed 1984 Verdansk, was playable for a few hours earlier this morning. Raven eventually caught on and closed the loophole, but not before players were able to fully explore the latest iteration of Warzone's, well, warzone.

Teamfight Tactics could eventually break away from the League of Legends client

Since launch, Teamfight Tactics has lived inside the League of Legends client as a nice little extra. But Riot has suggested that home may not be permanent, as the game grows beyond its MOBA spin-off roots.

In Greek mythology, Atlas was condemned to bear the weight of the heavens, though is frequently depicted as carrying the globe on his shoulders. Now, you can replicate the titan's torment in Fortnite, with a new outfit that has you wearing the game's first island as a suit.
