'He's very good at finding really cool people': Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's director found its composer on Soundcloud and lead writer on Reddit

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 completely blew my expectations out of the water. Its story and combat quickly became all-consuming—I sank 13 hours into it over just one weekend. But the best part of this French RPG has to be its soundtrack, which is apparently all thanks to just one composer.
Lorien Testard had never worked on a videogame before (via BBC) and was discovered by Expedition 33's director, Guillaume Broche, on Soundcloud. He then proceeded to make the entire score, comprising 154 songs and clocking in at an impressive, and slightly terrifying, eight hours and nine minutes long.

Tales of the Shire wants to make sure 'every detail is just right' when starting your hobbit life, but the character creator still looks incredibly disappointing

Hobbit life simulator Tales of the Shire is setting up for its launch in July, and an Inside Look video has been uploaded to share an update on development. Spotlighting elements of gameplay like farming, personalities, and how decorating your home works, there's a lot on display to encourage making the experience your own.
The Inside Look also features a spotlight on character customisation, which is one of the elements particularly marketed to help make your experience with Tales of the Shire unique to you. However, as much as the game is presented as your key to Hobbit life, I can't help feeling like the features on display are still incredibly lackluster.

Overwatch 2 is preparing to answer the internet's current obsession: Who would win, 1 gorilla or 100 men, and it's all going to be livestreamed
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/overwatch-2-is-preparing-to-answer-the-internets-current-obsession-who-would-win-1-gorilla-or-100-men-and-its-all-going-to-be-livestreamed/
The latest discourse circulating around the internet has been surprisingly divisive, because no, 100 men couldn't beat a gorilla in a fight, at least not without tools and coordination. But for those who aren't convinced, Overwatch 2 has decided to test the query out by pitting 100 Soldier 76s against one Winston—oh, you thought there'd actually be a brawl between a gorilla and 100 men? Don't have the budget for that, but this is the next best thing.
"Join us along with some surprise content creators for an epic showdown," Overwatch 2 says on social media. The fight will be streamed today at 12pm PT/ 3pm ET/ 8pm BST, but otherwise, there are no other details about who will be involved or what the fight will actually look like.

Deadlock goes full second breakfast by having another, secret playtest tucked inside the first one—with all-new heroes and a redesign of everyone's favourite gargoyle gal

If you're at all familiar with Deadlock, you might remember some hullabaloo about its 'open secret' status during early testing. Valve's new MOBA/shooter was kept very much under wraps, with the company playing coy right up until the finish line. Even now, it's still invite-only. Why? Beats me, since getting a pass to go play isn't really hard.
Valve really likes its secret playtest servers, though, as a top Deadlock streamer by the name of Deathy accidentally popped open the wrong client while on Stream. They quickly deleted it, mind, but the internet is forever, and players with a quickdraw print-screen snapped some images (via Eurogamer).
