This week in games: Rocket League eyes Hollywood as RuneScape turns angsty teen - uptongramemptere

Rocket League heads to Hollywood, a bevy of games whorl down release dates, other games miss their exit dates, Fivesome Nights at Freddy's becomes an RPG, and RuneScape reinvents itself A an angsty teenager. This is play news for the week of September 14-18.

Bend IT like Bimmer

I be intimate Rocket League. A mickle of people love Rocket League. Apparently a lot of people love Rocket Conference so so much that developer Psyonix is now in talks about a Rocket League diddle line (okay), TV show (what?), and movie (you must be joking).

It's a game about cars performin association football. What the perdition kind of pic could possibly come from this? (Via MCV)

Juggling release dates

Dark Souls III snagged a expel date, or at least a release window, this week: April, 2022. No existent surprise there, as the PC versions of Dark Souls II and ultimate re-release Student of the First Sine both launched in April also.

The first episode of Telltale's Minecraft: Story Mode leave digitally debut along October 13. As per usual for Informative games, it's the first of Phoebe episodes, so expect this one to continue through the middle of 2022.

And Jonathan Blow's long-lived-awaited (ilk, six years in development) open-world puzzle game The Attestor will hit on January 26, 2022. There's a newly preview for that cardinal:

Five hundred nights at Freddy's

The gist Five Nights at Freddy's saga has come to a close with the recent fourth game in the series (which…started just a year ago). But Freddy lives on!

Developer Scott Cawthon took to Steam this week to announce Five Nights at Freddy's Ma or FNAFW if we'Ra being expedient. From the announcement:

"It will non be a horror unfit, but a role acting game where you create a party using the immense survival of characters from the FNaF games, including the standard, withered, toy, phantom, and nightmare versions. I've been working steadily on characters and hope to embark on on enemy models future calendar week."

And if you just went "What the hell?" well, you're not the only one. I could non have been more bemused by this leftover-turn if Freddy literally crawled out of my pants while I was busy reading it. Godspeed, Scott Cawthon. Strike while that iron's hot.

Runes aren't plenty

Speaking of weird game announcements, Jagex revealed a newfangled "cutthroat" translation of RuneScape on Th titled DarkScape. Some details:

"DarkScape is supported the legendary MMO RuneScape, indeed it benefits from 14 years of content from launching. All of DarkScape is accessible gratis—including content that is members-only in RuneScape—and is played using a RuneScape account.

In DarkScape, PvP is always on, and piece powerful guards keister protect you in populated areas, nowhere is truly safe. DarkScape is split into low, mid and high-risk regions: for each one with its own economy, its own limited banking and strict teleportation limits."

You can head here to start playing, or check proscribed the video below:

An early end

Deep Silver announced this week it's shuttering its MOBA At rest Island: Pestilent, becoming the latest company to kill off an Early Access spirited before it ever so officially discharged. Players take until September 15 to spend any remaining in-unfit currency, then along October 15 the servers bequeath go offline.

This is a trouble. A queen-size job. I tacitly support Early Access insomuch as IT's a elbow room for developers to arrest feedback on a game prior to release, merely the else half of that implied agreement is eventually you should retire the product you promised. Sure, there's that giving "This Early Access game is non all-out" disclaimer on Steam, but Spirit of the Legal philosophy/Varsity letter of the Constabulary, decently?

All it takes is a couple of developers to screw it up, and we'll have another funding stalemate on our hands (hear: Kickstarter).

Mighty no more

Speaking of "People being angry about Kickstarter," Right No. 9 is going through its own pangs right now. The game was supposed to Be out in April, and then touched to September, and then was recently delayed until sometime next year. Then ontogenesis studio Comcept aforementioned it would release a demo on September 15 and missed that date too.

Backers are predictably lovesick.

Honorbound

Japanese capital Game Show was, I guess, the earmark venue for Ubisoft to introduction this new Samurai-specific For Honor preview.

Is this real life?

Ubisoft also declared this week that whol post-secrete DLC maps for Rainbow Sextuplet Siege will embody given absent to players for resign in an deed to get players to stick just about "for the long term." With Evolve and Halo 5 doing the same, does this normal we're in the last death rattles of paid map packs?

Though I approximate we should withhold judgment until we see what strange pieces of content Rainbow Half dozen will put behind a paywall. After all, Evolve's maps were released but its ridiculous DLC scheme still sank the game.

Lo-fi Kerbal

If you follow space news, you probably know Elon Musk's SpaceX is hard to work out how to land unmanned rockets rachis on Earth so they can be reused later. It is difficult, to tell the least.

But you don't have to issue skill's word for it. There's now a video recording game version of the dispute, called SpaceX Falcon 9 Lander. Think Lunar Lander leave out nearly impossible. Concerned? You can play the game in your browser.

More indication

• Even more going dates: Want for Speed's PC edition was delayed until 2022 this week ready to hit the vaunted 60 frames per second, while StarCraft II's final enlargement, Legacy of the Nullity, bequeath handout the same twenty-four hours arsenic Fallout 4. Bold go on, Rash.
