Dino Patti, co-founder of Playdead, is facing legal action from the company following a LinkedIn post he made about the game Limbo, which included an image that Playdead claims is unauthorized and owned by co-founder Arnt Jenson. Playdead is demanding 500,000 DKK (approximately ,000) in compensation from Patti. The tensions between Patti and Playdead have escalated since the launch of Inside in 2016, with Patti's credit recognition diminishing over time. Playdead's legal team has warned Patti that his use of the company's assets and disclosure of inside knowledge could constitute a breach of confidentiality. Patti has expressed a willingness to be transparent about the situation and indicated he may release materials related to Playdead's early years.

Splitgate 2 is a multiplayer first-person shooter developed and published by 1047 Games, featuring portals in its gameplay. It is free-to-play and offers cosmetic bundles and a battle pass, and is compatible with the Steam Deck. The game includes a class system with three distinct classes, each having unique abilities, but with minimal differences in weaponry. The maps are designed with narrow corridors and expansive plazas but lack depth and character. The monetization strategy includes multiple tiers of season passes and a cosmetic store, which some find excessive. The battle pass system feels uninspired, and the game struggles to differentiate itself in the battle royale genre, leading to a repetitive gameplay experience.

The game features a non-linear research system that allows multitasking and unexpected discoveries. Each of the six interconnected worlds presents unique puzzles and challenges, requiring players to adapt their strategies as they transition between planes. The game utilizes a hexagonal layout for factory design, enhancing complexity. A demo is available on Steam, with progress potentially carrying over to the full game.
On June 17, 2025, Mojang will release two updates for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft: "Chase The Skies" and "Vibrant Visuals," both free of charge.
The "Chase The Skies" update introduces the Happy Ghast, a flying mount for up to four players, which can be tamed by transforming a Dried Ghast Block into a Ghastling. This update also includes a Player Locator Bar and new mob and boat interaction mechanics.
The "Vibrant Visuals" update features graphical enhancements such as directional lighting and shadows, water reflections, volumetric fog, and enhanced mob and item lighting.
Players are advised to gather materials like ghast tears and soul sand, build a Ghastling Station, and ensure their devices meet the requirements for the Vibrant Visuals update.
Klei Entertainment is introducing a new game titled Away Team, a side-scrolling survival crafting platformer featuring a Duplicant separated from their colony. The game includes exploration, base construction, and material gathering using a vacuum tool. Klei Fest 2025 is currently being hosted on Steam, offering discounts on Klei titles, and Away Team is available for wishlisting but does not have a confirmed release date. Klei has also streamed gameplay of Away Team on their Twitch channel.
In the "Chase the Skies" update of Minecraft, players can find and tame a new mob called the Happy Ghast. To find a Happy Ghast, players must locate a Dried Ghast in the Soul Sand Valley biomes or obtain it through Piglin trades or crafting. They can then rehydrate the Dried Ghast in water to create a Ghastling, which is tamed by throwing a total of 10 snowballs at it. Once tamed, players can craft a harness for the Happy Ghast using 3 leather, 2 glass blocks, and 1 wool block.
The Happy Ghast can carry up to four players, with the first rider controlling the flight direction. Players can dismount mid-air and stand on the Happy Ghast’s head. It can be used for aerial scaffolding, mobile transport, group travel, and creative showcases. Players are advised to build a Happy Ghast station for easier remounting.
Happy Ghasts are vulnerable to fire damage and hostile ghasts, and they wander within a 32-block radius when harnessed. The harness can be removed with shears, and players have created travel systems using Happy Ghasts in minecarts.
Players navigate a treacherous alien planet in "The Alters," a game by 11 bit studios that combines survival mechanics with a sci-fi narrative. The protagonist, Jan, is the sole survivor of a failed intergalactic mining operation and must repair his base, manage resources, and make strategic decisions to survive. The game introduces a unique element called rapidium, allowing players to create altered versions of Jan with different skills and personalities. Interactions with these Alters and other characters can lead to cooperation or conflict, impacting morale and mission success. Exploration involves gathering resources and managing environmental hazards, with a fast travel system facilitating navigation. The game emphasizes the importance of player choices, creating a deeply personal and immersive experience.
Players in Minecraft face challenges such as food shortages and resource scarcity during the early stages of survival. Early-game farms are essential for providing resources and improving gameplay.
1. A basic crop farm can be established by planting wheat, carrots, or potatoes on well-tilled soil with a water source and sunlight. Fencing can protect crops from mobs, and villagers can help automate the process.
2. An animal breeding pen can be created by attracting cows, sheep, and chickens using wheat or seeds. Each animal provides unique resources, and a breeding cycle of about five minutes allows for a steady food supply.
3. A sugar cane farm is important for crafting paper and trading with villagers. It can be set up along a riverbank or with irrigation ditches, and can be automated with observers and pistons.
4. An XP and mob drop farm can be built around a dungeon with a skeleton or zombie spawner. A funnel system using water flows and trap doors can direct mobs for XP farming and valuable drops.
5. An iron farm can be established near a village using three villagers, beds, workstations, and a zombie to spawn Iron Golems. A kill chamber can provide a consistent source of iron ingots.
