Key information
A variety of new PC titles are arriving this week, ranging from unique shop simulators to strategic spinoffs. Players can manage a boutique in the cyberpunk setting of Probably Stolen or engage in the autobattler Northgard Battlegrounds, developed by the team behind Deep Rock Galactic Survivor.
Action-oriented titles include Virtue and a Sledgehammer, where players destroy robots with a hammer, and the top-down shooter Heavy in the Hand, which features a manual reloading mechanic. Other releases span genres like city building with Cardopolis, political simulation in The Electorate, and the puzzle-focused pnoq.
Regarding upcoming content, the Age of Empires IV: Raiders of the North expansion introduces Vikings and Scots. Meanwhile, the Crimson Desert expansion, Charting the Unknown, has been delayed to allow Pearl Abyss additional time for polishing, following executive comments regarding critic review scores.
The publication notes that Virtue and a Sledgehammer will launch next week, though an experimental visual novella prologue is currently available. Additionally, staff members are preparing for end-of-year coverage, including the RPS 100 and Advent Calendar voting processes.
