Total War Warhammer 3 dev gets “pretty raw” on why armies stand around doing nothing, and you might need a new campaign

Creative Assembly is addressing issues in Total War: Warhammer 3 with an upcoming hotfix 6.3.4, scheduled for early November. Key focus areas include solutions for idle armies, recruitment challenges for the Chaos Dwarfs, and improvements to the campaign AI for Golgfag Maneater. The studio acknowledges that current playthroughs may be affected by these changes. Adam Freeman, head of community, emphasized the importance of transparency and provided an apology for past bugs and glitches. He noted specific issues such as campaign AI prioritizing defensive tasks too aggressively, Vampire Counts facing odd recruitment logic, factions remaining idle despite valid targets, and passive diplomacy AI. Improvements to Golgfag Maneater's behavior have shown promise, with early tests indicating more aggressive territory expansion. Players are encouraged to start new campaigns to fully experience the updates once released. The tentative release date for the update is November 6.

EGGCONSOLE Publisher Pulls Reissue Of PC-88 RPG ‘Burai: Joukan’ After Complaints From The Game’s Creator

D4 Enterprise has withdrawn its rerelease of the role-playing game Burai Jouken due to concerns raised by the original creator, Takeo Iijima, regarding copyright permissions. The game was originally launched for the PC-8801 in 1989 and was reissued on February 20, 2025, for the EGGCONSOLE platform without securing necessary permissions from Iijima. Althi, the owners of the Riverhill Soft catalogue, apologized for the oversight and clarified that the MSX2 version is the legitimate release. Iijima expressed frustration on social media, stating he had not been contacted prior to the game's publication and had sought its removal. His outreach to Althi led to the game's withdrawal. This incident follows a previous controversy in August involving unauthorized use of a PC98 emulator by EGGCONSOLE.

93 current and former developers from Mindseye, a studio under Build A Rocket Boy, have expressed their concerns in an open letter criticizing management practices related to layoffs and excessive overtime. The letter, organized by the IWGB Game Workers Union, highlights issues following the poor performance of the game Everywhere, which has been labeled one of the worst-reviewed games of 2025. The studio reportedly laid off between 250 to 300 developers during a redundancy process that was poorly executed, causing confusion and distress among remaining employees. Specific grievances include misinformation during the redundancy process, incorrect dismissal notices, and unfair performance evaluations. The letter demands a public apology, compensation for laid-off employees, options for remaining employees regarding their notice period, improved workplace conditions, and engagement with external partners for future redundancies.

Manor Lords gets its first update since January, and its creator says he is ‘rethinking what went wrong to ensure it won’t happen again’

Manor Lords, developed by Slavic Magic, launched in April 2024 and became Steam's most wishlisted game, selling 3 million copies in its first year. After a steady stream of updates, 2025 has seen a slowdown with no new content in the past nine months. A new experimental beta has been introduced, featuring numerous new elements, balance adjustments, refinements, and bug fixes. Greg Styczeń, the creator, acknowledged the delays due to challenges in expanding the development team and managing the complexities of the game's codebase. Players are advised to back up their saves before installing the beta, as existing saves will not be compatible. AI improvements have been made, but they are not yet fully functional. The timeline for these enhancements to be included in the main game is currently uncertain.
