Larian’s given us a single-word spoiler for Divinity, its next game, and for some reason it’s ‘alligator’

Larian Studios recently held an AMA session where they teased details about their upcoming title, Divinity. Writing director Adam Smith mentioned the word "Alligator" in response to a question about potential spoilers, sparking curiosity among fans. Head of design Nick Pechenin hinted at new gameplay mechanics, expressing that he could finally implement a feature he had wanted in previous titles. Fans speculate that the alligator reference may relate to a shapeshifter character or a potential lizard romance, given the lore of Rivellon. There is also concern that popular elements might be removed before the game's release, which could lead to community discussions.

PlayerUnknown’s new survival game already has three DLCs planned, but won’t include one fan-favourite idea: ‘I think the weather is sufficiently worrying at this stage’

In early 2025, the survival game Prologue: Go Wayback! was released, prompting discussions about the potential inclusion of wildlife to enhance immersion. Brendan Greene, the game's creator, acknowledged the technical feasibility of adding animals but highlighted the complexities of developing realistic AI for them. He indicated that if animals were introduced, players would need means to defend against them. Greene expressed a desire to focus on creating a more complete world with features like paths and power lines, rather than immediate wildlife additions. He also mentioned the potential for underground areas as a future DLC feature, aiming to enrich the game's atmosphere. Since its early access launch, Prologue has received updates, including new features and modes, with plans for three DLCs to introduce new story elements. Future updates may include multiplayer functionality, particularly in the third DLC, which Greene noted is highly requested. He emphasized the need for a more structured environment to transition out of Early Access, focusing on visual and optimization improvements.

It’s a golden age for weird Eastern European games—you can tell because I’m in love with a horror puzzler about 2 old men trying to find evil in the woods

One-Eyed Likho is a game set in Eastern Europe that draws on Slavic mythology, where players take on the role of a village smith alongside a tailor to explore the concept of 'evil.' The gameplay is primarily puzzle-based, requiring players to ignite objects to progress. The game features a black-and-white aesthetic reminiscent of silent films and employs straightforward mechanics, with players navigating limited environments to collect items and solve puzzles. The narrative includes introspective monologues from the smith, reflecting on Biblical figures and existential themes. Influences from the game Pathologic are present, and the game balances surreal elements with moments of intensity. Players engage with the narrative while exploring themes of evil through various settings, including a forest and a dilapidated house.
