Twisted Tower takes BioShock and turns it into a deadly game show run by a disturbed toymaker-
Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory is already a rather sinister affair, but Twisted Tower, revealed at this year’s Realms Deep showcase, is determined to take that concept and dial it up a few more notches. It’s a game that looks to mash together a generous helping of BioShock’s 1920s art deco setting with Roald Dahl’s eerie novel, swapping out confectionery for toys and a disturbingly deadly game show.
Now why anybody in their right mind would want to willingly enter a place called the Twisted Tower is beyond me, but protagonist Tiny seems well up for the challenge. After being devastated by his crush getting engaged to his school bully, he’s managed to convince himself that securing a spot in toymaker Mr. Twister’s game and winning the grand $10,000,000 prize will somehow turn the …
Total War- Warhammer 3 roadmap outlines the next year of DLC and updates-
Creative Assembly has finally laid out plans for how it’s going to make Total War: Warhammer 3 both more total and more Warhammer over the next 12 months. The DLC roadmap details three expansions, each of which will be accompanied by a “free-LC” adding a Legendary Hero for everyone. It also mentions “interim patches” for bug fixes, balance changes, and other additions will come between each DLC.
The first of those interim patches is designed to follow the recent release of Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs. Update 3.1 brings a Chaos Dwarf-themed endgame scenario to the Immortal Empires campaign, seven more mercenary Regiments of Renown, another Legendary Hero, as well as “Multiple crash and performance fixes, bug fixes, gameplay tweaks”. It’s due in late May.

Updated Dwarf Fortress comes to Linux, fixes those pesky marksdwarves-
The Steam version of legendary simulation game Dwarf Fortress has a vital new patch out updating the graphical edition to work on ye olde Linux, a most dorky operation system for that most dorky of games. It was a delayed release, mostly because primary developer Tarn Adams just got over a bout with covid.
Per Kitfox games, “this patch has some needed updates, like the ability to look at old alerts, ammo that works when uniforms are changed, and soldiers that don’t hoard rotten food in their rooms.”
Two of those are particular bugbears of the Steam release, as for whatever reason soldiers just really wanted to leave their work rations on the floor in their rooms, where they’d promptly rot. The other’s a blessing for those Dwarf Fortress architects who’d really like to make u…
Overwatch 2’s Steam release means players can finally review it, and it’s an absolute mess-
Update: When we originally published this story, Overwatch 2 had around 5,000 Steam reviews and a “Mostly Negative” tag. Now it’s at 50,000 and “Overwhelmingly Negative”.
Thousands of players are trashing the game in the reviews, but it seems like a considerable amount of them are also picking up the premium battle pass or the $15 PvE missions because it’s currently the seventh top seller (by revenue) on the platform.
Original story: Overwatch 2 came to Steam today as part of a new Blizzard initiative to publish some of its games on Valve’s platform. The debut is an opportunity to attract a new audience, but it has also opened the gates to an onslaught of negative player reviews.
Blizzard’s free-to-play hero…

XDefiant finally has a release date, and it’s just a couple weeks from now-
It’s been a long time coming, but the big day is finally almost here: Following a weekend-long stress test that ran earlier this month, Ubisoft’s long-awaited free-to-play FPS XDefiant is set to launch on May 21.
XDefiant was announced in 2021 and it didn’t go especially well: The initial response, right down to the silly, stylized title, was so negative that Ubisoft mashed the brakes on the whole thing for almost a full year, later emerging reworked branding a decidedly more “tacticool” attitude. A well-regarded open beta and multiple delays followed, but a promised stress test in April went ahead and Ubisoft was apparently satisfied by what it saw.
The XDefiant launch will begin with a “preseason” that’s slated to run for six weeks with five factions, 14 maps, and fi…
Sai Silks sees tepid debut, lists at 4% premium; Should you hold or book profit-
Sai Silks (Kalamandir) shares listed at 4% premium over IPO price on bourses today. The share debuted at Rs 231 on the NSE, as compared to the issue price of Rs 222. The investors have made a profit of Rs 9 per share as the scrip gave merely 4% return to investors on the listing.
“In the long term, the company has the potential to grow its business, given its strong brand presence, expanding footprint, and focus on online sales. However, investors should be aware of the risks associated with the company, such as the competitive nature of the industry and the impact of economic downturns on consumer spending. Thus, cautious investors may consider exiting their position, but investors with a long-term view may hold it by keeping a stoploss,” said Shivani Nyati, Hea…
