Bolt Action PC First Look: How Slitherine is Reimagining the World’s Biggest WWII Tabletop Game

Slitherine and Frag Games are developing a digital adaptation of Warlord Games’ WWII tabletop miniatures game, Bolt Action, with a planned release in 2026. The game will faithfully recreate the “Six Orders” activation system, a suppression-based pinning system, and tactical armor facing. Key features include a comprehensive Army Painter for customization and a dynamic single-player campaign set in the Normandy theater. The game will maintain the original ruleset, including the tactical pillars of unit activation, the emphasis on suppression over health, vehicle positioning for damage, distinctions between direct and indirect fire, experience levels for squads, and extensive customization options for forces.

I couldn’t survive the Mörk Borg PC game for more than five minutes

Mörk Borg Heresy Supreme released a demo on January 23, featuring a dark Gothic aesthetic and punishing gameplay. The game retains the essence of the original tabletop RPG while transforming it into an arcade-style hack-and-slash adventure. Character creation includes randomly generated heroes, with an option to re-roll for a better build. The tutorial introduces mechanics gradually, but can feel incomplete. The map is accessed via the M key, which is crucial for navigation, and the control layout is considered unintuitive. Quick reflexes are essential due to the game's high difficulty, with players facing immediate character deaths. The game displays a "FAILURE" message upon death, indicating survival time. The full release is expected in Q1 2026, and the visuals and soundtrack pay homage to the RPG's heavy metal roots.

Warhammer 40k Darktide is getting another new class, and I’m loading my toaster with hopium all over again

The developer Fatshark has confirmed the development of a new playable character for Warhammer 40k Darktide, with expectations rising for a Mechanicus character. This announcement was part of a comprehensive update that included 11 events, four major updates, and two DLC classes, although none featured the Mechanicus. The next class has been in development for some time, and while details are forthcoming, another release will occur before this new character is introduced. Fans hope for a character that fits within the game's aesthetic and lore, such as a low-level Enginseer, as the need for a technical character is evident.

The Mass Effect spiritual successor I can’t wait to play just lost its studio head, but he doesn’t want you to worry

James Ohlen, the former studio head of Archetype Entertainment, announced his departure from the company in December, following the release of the latest trailer for the sci-fi adventure game Exodus. He stated that his decision to step down was made last summer, was amicable, and had the full support of Hasbro. Ohlen emphasized that Exodus is "in a good place" and expressed confidence in the team's ability to continue the project under the leadership of trusted colleagues. He will remain with Wizards of the Coast as a creative consultant, focusing on tabletop RPGs and his own venture, Arcanum Worlds. The game Exodus features a time dilation mechanic where players experience long journeys at near-light speed, with a planned release date set for early 2027.

There’s a Bloodlines story you haven’t played, and it’s one of my favorite VTM games ever made

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, released by Troika in 2004, is a significant title in the RPG genre. Santa Monica By Night is a flash game developed during the 'Vampire Jam' by Martyna 'Outstar' Zych and 'Memoriesin8bit' in just seven days. It features a pixelated reimagining of Los Angeles where players assume the role of a Thinblood searching for Vincent Lenz. The game includes branching narratives, multiple endings, and easter eggs, designed as a fan fiction project inspired by Bloodlines. Outstar aimed to create a narrative that connects newcomers with the setting while highlighting differences for returning fans. The game captures familiar locations and mechanics from Bloodlines, and players can experience various endings that reflect themes of hopelessness and loss. A secret ending was added post-jam, providing closure to the game's love story.

Riftbound director hints at its digital future, says it’s “not a matter of if, but when and how” for the League of Legends TCG

Riot Games introduced a Teamfight Tactics tournament at the TFT Paris Open as part of the Riftbound event, generating genuine excitement among players. Game director Dave Guskin discussed the challenges of card availability and the company's strategy to address scarcity issues in physical trading card games (TCGs). He acknowledged that the demand for Riftbound was underestimated and emphasized the importance of supporting in-person social play. Although there is currently no digital version of Riftbound, Guskin indicated that the possibility of a digital adaptation is being considered for the future. Players are currently using alternatives like a mod for Tabletop Simulator to engage with the game digitally.
