Posted on January 17, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Homeworld Deserts of Kharak

The latest Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak trailers contains some rather chilling words from a representative of the antagonistic Gaalsien fleet… “Diplomacy has failed!”

It seems as if the forces that chief science officer Rachel S’jet will face in the game’s campaign as she attempts to explore the mystery of an anomaly in the deserts of Kharak are more than ready for a fight.

Kath Gaalsien are a major religious sect and antagonists of this latest game, who have existed on the planet of Kharak ever since the Kushan settled on Kharak after being exiled from their former planet in the original Homeworld (1999). They believe that eventually their exile will expire and that they will be sent into heaven by Sajuuk, their believe that this sentence was imposed upon them for their ancestor’s arrogance.

Check out the brand new trailer in the embedded player below. Gearbox Software is publishing this Homeworld prequel on January 20th on Windows PC via Steam. Development was handled by former members of Relic Entertainment at the Vancouver based studio Blackbird Interactive.

Posted on October 30, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Dying Light developers Tech Land have released a very spoopy (yes that was intentional) and unexpected Halloween message for their fans. Do they have a trick or a treat in store for fans of their undead franchise? You’ll just have to watch the video below to find out!

Tech Land community manager had this say about the Halloween message:

“If once you’re done partying you still feel like having a bit of a fright this Halloween season, we’ve got the perfect challenge for you” 

Originally released late last January Dying Light’s first expansion – titled The Following shifts gameplay less in the direction of melee combat / parkour and more towards Dune Buggies and guns, making Dying Light feel like a completely different game. No release date or pricing for The Following has been announced as of yet – however Season’s Pass holders will be getting it for free.

If you don’t own a copy of Dying Light it’s currently included in the Steam Halloween Sale for $29.99 CDN a discount of 50% from its regular retail price.

Spooky!
