Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter has a great PC port, but it is a small step back from PH3 releases

GungHo and Falcom have released Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter worldwide, marking Falcom's first multi-platform release globally and its first internal PC port in several years. The PC version includes various display settings, such as fullscreen and windowed modes, resolutions from 320x200 to 4K, and support for different aspect ratios. Graphics options allow players to adjust draw distance, level of detail, light and shadow maps, and more. New features include a "resume from latest save" option. However, some features from previous Trails games are missing, such as arbitrary resolution support and comprehensive ultrawide support. Recommended settings for the Steam Deck target 45fps, while the ROG Ally can achieve a locked 60fps with specific adjustments. Despite its strengths, the port reflects some shortcomings compared to earlier releases.

Original Hytale studio founder “in active discussions with Riot Games about acquiring” the Minecraft-inspired survival game after offering “10x what the true market value is”

Simon Collins-Laflamme, the founder of Hypixel, is in discussions with Riot Games to acquire the canceled survival game Hytale. He submitted a final counter offer to regain control of the title, which was canceled in June. Collins-Laflamme's offer reportedly includes a proposal to pay Riot "10x what the true market value is." He has begun hiring former team members to facilitate the game's revival. Hytale was inspired by Minecraft and had been in development for nearly a decade before its cancellation due to mismanagement. If Collins-Laflamme acquires the intellectual property, the timeline for reviving Hytale could take several years. Eric Barone, creator of Stardew Valley, has shown casual interest in the project.
