All the RPS Supporter rewards for September 2026: Model ships, maze cities, and the tyranny of content (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In case you missed it, September happened. Technically it’s still happening, and we have one more exclusive post for RPS Premium Supporters coming this week, but this time I fancy doing the monthly rewards roundup within the month being rounded up. Lest armoured date pedants infiltrate my flat with breaching charges, and start hitting my shins with their pernickety sticks. Thanks again to all our Supporters, preem or otherwise, and turbo double-thanks to anyone who filled in our Supporters surve
Microsoft's failure to find a home for Ninja Theory voids the one, very tenuous upside to Senua's SGF reveal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s plenty to dislike about this latest round of corporate-mandated Xbox misery. The hundreds more human beings losing their livelihoods. The embracing of risk-averse factory line development. The fact that nobody, still, knows what on earth is happening with Arkane. Personally, I keep thinking of the likely closure of Ninja Theory. Not because I desperately yearn for more Hellblade games in my life – I don’t – but more so how unlikely that proposition seemed, when a thunderous announcement
Hytale's Chapter 1 update is all about them goblins, adding its first proper boss and "handcrafted" dungeon in October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After months of smaller patches, Hytale’s early access phase is getting its inaugural Chapter update, confirmed release date and all. Chapter 1 is out on October 12th, and it’s a bundle of (mostly goblin-related) firsts: chiefly the game’s first "handcrafted" dungeon, a gruesome underground lair, and Hytale’s first bonefide boss fight, against a flamethrowing gob-king. As previously detailed in a blog post, the Chapter 1 update also expands the breadth of goblin foes – though the faction will in
Colourful JRPG Armed Fantasia has been cancelled, four years after a successful Kickstarter campaign descended into delays and lawsuits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Armed Fantasia, a JRPG pitched as a spiritual successor the PS2-era roleplaying series Wild Arms – and led by former Wild Arms producer Akifumi Kaneko – has been cancelled. Digital Bros, the parent company of Armed Fantasia publishers 505 Games, announced in a financial statement that it was one of several games for which "The Group decided to discontinue development," the others being a sequel to F2P strategy game Battle Islands and action RPG Directorate Novitiate, which had already revealed i
Steam Frame-ready VR rhythm game Beat Saber is adding hand-tracking and a punchy new mode in its "biggest update ever" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m not saying that the reveal of Beat Saber’s "biggest update ever" was timed to coincide with a swell of VR interest induced by the new Steam Frame. But I am going to infer it, without evidence, before immediately moving on to what the sweaty sword-slashing rhythm game can expect when said update lands in Spring of 2027. First and foremost is an entire new mode, Flux. This sees Beat Saber ditch the sabers and dial up the beating, demanding your own bare hands punch, prod, and slap their way th
