Fancy playing Sea of Thieves without the PvP? This pirate-themed survival game just left early access with a big update and a launch discount

Salt 2: Shores of Gold is a sequel to the original Salt, which enhances graphics and expands player versus environment (PvE) interactions in an infinite, procedurally generated world. After three years in early access, it has officially transitioned out of alpha development, introducing new features such as a non-playable character (NPC) that offers quests for rare items at level 40, formidable world bosses, and an endgame merchant for ship customization. The latest update also includes gameplay improvements like proper menu pausing, the ability to jump while swimming, and streamlined looting. Lavaboots Studios plans ongoing development with future updates to add new content based on community feedback. To celebrate the release, a 20% discount is offered, reducing the price to £12.39 until November 26.

As Krafton evolves into an ‘AI-first company’, the boss of the recently acquired Last Epoch studio says he doesn’t think the ‘doom and gloom’ is warranted

Krafton has announced its intention to become an "AI-first company" with an investment of over 130 billion won. The company has implemented a hiring freeze and a voluntary resignation program for its South Korean workforce. Krafton acquired Eleventh Hour Games (EHG), the studio behind Last Epoch, in July. EHG has maintained a commitment to providing players with free content since its Kickstarter launch in 2018, but recent communications suggest that the pricing for upcoming expansions is uncertain. EHG co-founder Cobler outlined limited options during the acquisition process, including pursuing other intellectual properties, seeking unfavorable funding, joining Krafton, or facing bankruptcy. Cobler expressed optimism about the acquisition's long-term benefits, despite skepticism from others. There is currently no evidence that Last Epoch is declining, but Krafton's strategic decisions may impact the studio. EHG recently launched its third season and plans additional content leading up to an expansion.

Is ‘Minecraft’ Down? Popular Game Servers Hit By Azure Front Door Outage

Minecraft's servers went offline due to a broader outage affecting Azure Front Door, which also impacted other gaming platforms like Xbox and services such as Microsoft 365 and Outlook. Microsoft attributed the outage to an inadvertent configuration change and is working to resolve the issue by halting all changes to Azure Front Door services and reverting to the last known stable state. The timeline for complete restoration is uncertain. This outage follows a recent significant Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage that affected various games and websites. While Minecraft is down, players can explore alternatives like Terraria, Creativerse, Vintage Story, Colony Survival, Eco, Valheim, Subnautica, The Forest, No Man’s Sky, Don’t Starve Together, LEGO Worlds, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Portal Knights, and Trove.
