Giancarlo Esposito, the man who told us that Yaran dictator Anton Castillo is not actually a bad guy in the upcoming Far Cry 6, has returned to offer up some very helpful tips to help ensure players have the best experience possible as they spearhead the revolution against Castillo's regime.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command gets a playable demo next week
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/starship-troopers-terran-command-is-getting-a-playable-demo-next-week/
After being relatively quiet since its 2019 announcement, the survival RTS adaptation of Starship Troopers is finally getting a playable demo.
Starship Troopers: Terran Command is based on the first movie—not any of its paltry sequels, thankfully—and is being helmed by The Aristocrats, the studio behind the relatively well-received Order of Battle: World War II. We've not seen much of the game up until now, bar its announcement at the end of 2019 and a trailer earlier this year.

Industria dev wants you to know 'we can't deliver [triple-A] and we don't want to'
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/industria-dev-triple-A/
Industria has everything it needs to land a spot in an E3 sizzle reel. It's an FPS with an eerie, abandoned city to explore, lots of Cold War era guns to shoot at homicidal robots, and the graphical polish to stand up to plenty of today's big budget games.
But developer Bleakmill wants you to know that Industria is nowhere near the scale or length of those big budget games, and it's also the team's first project together. Industria started when the core members were just 19 years old.

Century: Age of Ashes is delayed so it doesn't get murdered by Battlefield 2042
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/century-age-of-ashes-is-delayed-so-it-doesnt-get-murdered-by-battlefield-2042/
Typically, videogames are delayed because they've gone over schedule and need additional time. Sometimes there are specific reasons, like the sudden, last-minute appearance of a particularly bad bug, but more often it's simply a matter of the game not being where the developers want it to be in order to hand it over to the public.

Genshin Impact's anniversary event is really stingy, and players are pissed

Genshin Impact players are not happy with MiHoYo's planned anniversary rewards and contests program, complaining that the studio is effectively using fans for free content and publicity while offering minimal rewards in return.

https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/blood-bowl-3s-early-access-launch-has-been-delayed/
While the full version of football megaviolence strategy game Blood Bowl 3 wasn't due to come out until February 2022, an Early Access release had been announced for this month. That's now been pushed back. As the Blood Bowl 3 team at Cyanide Studio explained on Twitter, "The closed beta last June and all your feedback were incredibly helpful for identifying and focusing on key improvements, and it seems we were a bit too optimistic when we announced early access on PC for September 2021."

This Halo Infinite multiplayer map contains a 'loot cave' full of power weapons
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/this-halo-infinite-multiplayer-map-contains-a-loot-cave-full-of-power-weapons/
Halo Infinite is fast approaching, and studio 343 Industries is in the thick of promoting it. Ahead of the game's multiplayer tech preview happening this weekend, a livestream showed off a full Big Team Battle match (it starts at 50 minutes in the above vid). It's definitely worth a look, but there was one feature of the map that especially stood out: it has a legit loot cave.

Minecraft Dungeons is now available on Steam
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/minecraft-dungeons-is-now-available-on-steam/
Minecraft Dungeons, essentially a "baby's first Diablo-like" that shares its setting with Mojang's popular sandbox game, was exclusive to the Microsoft Store when it launched in 2020. It's now arrived on Steam, coinciding with the release of the Ultimate Edition, which combines the base game with its six DLC add-ons—Jungle Awakens, Creeping Winter, Howling Peaks, Flames of the Nether, Hidden Depths, and Echoing Void—as well as the soundtrack and digital artwork. Of course, you could just play it on Game Pass instead.

Check out some of Diablo 2: Resurrected's remastered enemies up close
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/check-out-some-of-diablo-2-resurrecteds-remastered-enemies-up-close/
The release of Diablo 2: Resurrected is almost upon us (here's when it unlocks in your time zone), and enterprising fans have already extracted models of some of its enemies. In the video above you can get up close and personal with a siege beast, frozen horror, the three barbarian ancients from the end of Lord of Destruction, the dark wanderer, Baal, Diablo, and *spoilers* the Cow King, who now wears a fancy hoof-ring and sure does have some detailed udders. It was somebody's job to model those udders.

'Who knows what the future holds' for Titanfall, say people who know what the future holds for Titanfall
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/titanfall-3-still-doesnt-exist/
On a recent stream, Respawn Entertainment community coordinator Jason Garza responded to a community member's request for an update on the Titanfall series. "There's nothing there," he said.

The Long Dark's next chapter is a frozen prison drama
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/the-long-darks-next-chapter-is-a-frozen-prison-drama/
Last I checked in, The Long Dark was a game about trudging through the snow and digging tins of beans out of old shacks. So I'm surprised to discover than the next episodic expansion for the survival sim is a prison thriller that sees you not only frozen and starving, but stuck behind bars.

Call of Duty Vanguard will turn down the sun and remove 'dognados' following last week's beta
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/call-of-duty-vanguard-will-turn-down-the-sun-and-remove-dognados-following-last-weeks-beta/
The Call of Duty: Vanguard beta has ended, leaving developer Sledgehammer Games with a fresh batch of feedback to work on ahead of the game's launch this November. Notably, that feedback includes nerfing the sun and exorcising some truly horrific canines.
