Friday news, the second part:

Apex Legends' flying city is getting a violent relocation next season
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/apex-legends-flying-city-is-getting-a-violent-relocation-next-season/
Olympus has been conspicuously absent from Apex Legends during Season 11. But while we're all excited to return to the fan-favourite floating city, it's looking a wee bit worse for wear in the new launch trailer for Season 12: Defiance.

Rainbow Six Siege adds in-game memorial to caster and ex-pro KiXSTAr
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/rainbow-six-siege-adds-in-game-memorial-to-caster-and-ex-pro-kixstar/
Rainbow Six Siege has added an in-game tribute to Michael 'KiXSTAr' Stockley, a popular caster and ex-pro who died in October 2021. A plaque in the Plane map marks the spot where KiXSTAr pulled off a very impressive 8-second ace back in 2016, during his time as a Siege pro. Stockley played for Team Orbit before transitioning into broadcasting as a commentator, and won Esports Colour Caster of the Year 2020.

Path of Exile's new expansion lets you build your own endgame
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/path-of-exiles-new-expansion-lets-you-build-your-own-endgame/
Path Of Exile, like football, is a game of two halves—its lengthy main story campaign and its sprawling, non-linear Atlas Of Worlds endgame. I’d probably watch more football if the first half involved deicide on a massive scale and the latter was a dimension-hopping hunt for loot and glory, but I digress: the important thing is that Path Of Exile’s latter half is due for a shake-up, and Grinding Gear Games aim to deliver that with the free Siege of the Atlas expansion, landing on February 4th.

You too can be chased by a possessed pirate cannon in this weekend's Midnight Ghost Hunt beta
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/you-too-can-be-chased-by-a-possessed-pirate-cannon-in-this-weekends-midnight-ghost-hunt-beta/
Few things bring me greater joy than suppressing cackles as I chase down my friends in a prop hunt game, cornering them despite their best efforts at camouflage and trickery. Midnight Ghost Hunt has that feeling in spades, plus layers of weapon loadouts and special skills and twists on top. It's headed into another closed beta this weekend, which you can sign up for if you'd like to try a bit of ghostly inanimate object shenanigans yourself.

The Elder Scrolls Online: High Rock explores 'The Legacy of the Bretons'
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/the-elder-scrolls-online-high-rock-explores-the-legacy-of-the-bretons/
Following a tease about a journey to a "never-before-seen world" in 2022, Zenimax Online Studios has revealed the next expansion coming to The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle will take players to the previously unexplored Systres Archipelago, a playground for society's elite and the location of diplomatic talks aimed at ending the Three Banners War.

Here are the things that actually make your Buddy Meter move in Hearthstone Battlegrounds
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/here-are-the-things-that-actually-make-your-buddy-meter-move-in-hearthstone-battlegrounds/
According to a survey last summer, just over one in four American men has six or more close friends. So as you can imagine, I was absolutely delighted to receive 75 new Buddies this week when the latest patch for Hearthstone dropped. Buddies are the new attraction in the Battlegrounds mode, where these units are earned over the course of a match. Each Hero has its own bespoke Buddy, and that Buddy has an ability designed to synergise with its Hero's expected game plan.

Two Point Campus pencils in May launch
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/two-point-campus-pencils-in-may-launch/
Two Point Campus is the long-awaited follow-up to Two Point Hospital, except you'll be operating a college instead of a morbidly funny clinic. The Two Point Studios DNA is definitely intact: this isn't a sober-minded simulator. You'll be training Don Quixotes, hosting cheeseball tournaments, and instructing in the best way to make ginormous pizzas, among lots of other things. All very funny, but none of it undermines what is, at heart, a detailed and robust management sim.

Steam your own hams, LucasArts style in this fan-made Simpsons adventure game
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/steam-your-own-hams-lucasarts-style-in-this-fan-made-simpsons-adventure-game/
It might be a little behind the curve, but a free indie adventure game has proven there's still plenty life to be found in 2018's hottest meme.
Developed by neodement and inspired by games like Day of the Tentacle, Steamed Hams: The Graphic Adventure reimagines the classic Simpsons short as a LucasArts-style adventure. Answer the door, ruin your roast, and perform isometric exercises in period-appropriate low-res stylings. It's a loving rendition, too, compressing the show's dialogue and tweaking the pacing to give it that perfect, stilted, early-90s feel.

The next game in the Mortal Kombat series has been teased by a producer at NetherRealm, a sequel to the recent film has been confirmed, and series creator Ed Boon is to be honoured by The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. Quite a day for fans of blood-soaked spinal ruptures and elemental ninjas.

Let's end the news with a quick look at GOG and Steam:
