Squanch Games CEO and studio director Mike Fridley has announced the first DLC for the hugely popular High on Life, an OTT cartoon shooter where the guns talk and the humour is love it or hate it. It's set two years after the original game ends and going for something of a vibe change to horror, with the name High on Knife.

Grand Theft Auto players 'rightfully pretty pissed' after Rockstar commits around 200 acts of grand theft auto
https://www.pcgamer.com/grand-theft-auto-players-rightfully-pretty-pissed-after-rockstar-commits-around-200-acts-of-grand-theft-auto/
Grand Theft Auto Online's latest update, San Andreas Mercenaries, arrived yesterday and adds a new type of mission, various cosmetic content, and a bunch of quality of life changes. What's got the fans angry, though, is what's happened to hundreds of vehicles.
Rockstar giveth with this free update but has also done quite a job of taketh-ing away around 200 cars and motorcycles from the in-game stores. To add insult to injury, a bunch of them have now been made available to GTA+ subscribers, the game's premium offering, through the Vinewood Car Club (which only GTA+ players can access).
>> To add salt to the injury, I want to remind you that GTA+ is not available on PC.

It sounds like CD Projekt is rolling right into the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel when Phantom Liberty is finished
https://www.pcgamer.com/it-sounds-like-cd-projekt-is-rolling-right-into-the-cyberpunk-2077-sequel-when-phantom-liberty-is-finished/
CD Projekt Red brought Cyberpunk 2077 expansion Phantom Liberty to this year's Summer Game Fest, and Morgan was immediately smitten with its new area, Dogtown. (He also keeps calling Idris Elba his new best friend, and it's so sweet none of us have had the heart to correct him yet). From that demo we learned about the latest in CD Projekt's ongoing march to patch over Cyberpunk's glaring flaws, including new police AI with a GTA-style notoriety system, a skill tree for combat augments, and expanded car combat. But what comes after Phantom Liberty?
According to an interview with Bloomberg, director Gabe Amatangelo will be moving on to the sequel.

7 stupidly specific details I spotted while watching Starfield Direct frame-by-frame

After a year of mining screenshots and details from last summer's Starfield gameplay reveal, we finally have a motherlode of new footage to pore over while we wait for that September 6 launch date to roll around. Of course, we've already highlighted plenty of the major gameplay elements we learned about Starfield from the presentation, but now that the space dust has settled it's time to really dig really deep. I've scoured the Direct for the nerdiest stuff you might have missed on your first (or 40th) watch. We're talking specific sandwich recipes, perk minutia, and the hunt for some guy's mysterious beans.

Raise your hand if the Butcher slaughtered you in Diablo 4. Me too, and, according to a recent infographic from Blizzard, there are millions of us.

PC players are being left out of Mortal Kombat 1's upcoming online stress test and the preorder beta
https://www.pcgamer.com/pc-players-are-being-left-out-of-mortal-kombat-1s-upcoming-online-stress-test-and-the-preorder-beta/
I always have time for Mortal Kombat, but after seeing Mortal Kombat 1 in action at Big Geoff's Summer Game Fest I was properly sold on the latest gorefest. It looks like all kinds of bloody fun, and the new features like Kameo fighters have definitely piqued my interest. And good news: an online stress test is happening soon. The bad news is that it's not going to be available for PC players.

Predictably bizarre Grasshopper Direct lampoons John Wick, offers no reveals, ends on the pause screen from the studio's next game
https://www.pcgamer.com/predictably-bizarre-grasshopper-direct-lampoons-john-wick-offers-no-reveals-ends-on-the-pause-screen-from-the-studios-next-game/
The Tokyo-based studio Grasshopper Manufacture is celebrating its 25th anniversary and as part of that has put on its first-ever Grasshopper Direct. As the name suggests, this was somewhat tongue-in-cheek rather than immaculate executives crisply clapping us through game reveals and new trailers. We got a couple of the studio's employees ad-libbing it, a quick highlights reel of the company's games, two pretty great fake adverts, and then the briefest of glimpses at the studio's upcoming game.

Fans are trying to figure out which action-adventure classic Capcom is reinventing
https://www.pcgamer.com/fans-are-trying-to-figure-out-just-which-action-adventure-classic-capcoms-new-game-is-reinventing/
Although the trailer for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess was shown again during Capcom's showcase, no substantial details were revealed, other than an additional voiceover describing it as a "beautiful yet unsettling world of mystery" which—in a fittingly mysterious way—doesn't reveal much about the game itself.

You've got even less time than usual to blitz Modern Warfare 2's season 4 battle pass
https://www.pcgamer.com/youve-got-even-less-time-than-usual-to-blitz-modern-warfare-2s-season-4-battle-pass/
Thermometers are peaking, birds are chirping, and the air outside is hot and thick. You know what that means, folks, a new season (of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) is here, and it's bringing all sorts of changes (to the maps and gameplay of the hit Activision-published FPS) with it. Bad news, though: If you've got dreams of completing Modern Warfare 2's season 4 battle pass, you've got about two fewer weeks than you had last season to do it. Chop chop.
