Title: Ben Affleck Has Some Strong Opinions About Fortnite Skins And How Hard The Game Is For Him Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 19:36:37 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ben-affleck-has-some-strong-opinions-about-fortnite-skins-and-how-hard-the-game-is-for-him/ Have you ever wondered what two-time Oscar-winner Ben Affleck thinks about Fortnite skins, and the game generally? You can now rest easy, as the man himself has weighed in with some strong takes. Appearing on the New Heights podcast with brothers Jason and Travis Kelce, Affleck said he's a big gamer, and is particularly fond of first-person shooter games, so when he tried Fortnite, he thought he'd hold his own. That wasn't the case, though. He said not only did he get wiped out immediately, but the 12-year-olds he was playing against made fun of him after taking him out. Affleck said he got heated and shouted back at the kids: "I don't suck! I'm a grown man!" https://twitter.com/yonann/status/2108191229884133646 Affleck also told a brief story about how his son wanted Fortnite skins for Christmas, and he was shocked to learn the specific skins his son wanted cost hundreds of dollars. "They ain't even real? Just to wear in the game? That's bullsh**," Affleck said. Affleck is a big fan of the competitive shooter Valorant. In the movie Gone Girl, Affleck's character can be seen playing Battlefield 3. Affleck is not the only person who has some strong words for the state of Fortnite. Writing for GameSpot, Phil Owen recently talked about why Fortnite sucks this season.

Title: Ubisoft Shutting Down Rainbow Six Mobile After Less Than A Year Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 19:11:11 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ubisoft-shutting-down-rainbow-six-mobile-after-less-than-a-year/ Ubisoft has announced that Rainbow Six Mobile is shutting down, and it didn't have a very long life. The game soft-launched in 2023, but properly rolled out for everyone back in February 2026. It will shut down on January 16, 2027, so it will have been online for less than a year in its full state for everyone. "'We are proud of the passion, creativity, and dedication our team has put into the game," Ubisoft said. "One of the greatest parts of this adventure has been getting to experience it alongside you. We've loved seeing the memes, videos, strategies, tournaments, impossible plays, and all the countless moments that happened because you were here." The developers are going to move on to "other long-term strategic projects," but Ubisoft did not say what these may be. The studio will share more details on the game's final days in the coming weeks. "We are truly grateful to everyone who has played our game," the developers said. Rainbow Six Mobile pitched itself as a mobile version of the extremely popular Rainbow Six Siege, which continues to crush it more than a decade after release. The next Rainbow Six game is Rainbow Six Tactics, and it's coming next year. It's been a bumpy year for Ubisoft, as the company created a new organizational structure by way of its partnership with Tencent. As part of this, Ubisoft enacted mass layoffs, closed studios, and cancelled games.

Title: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Getting A Movie Adaptation At Call Of Duty Film Studio, Transformers Producer On Board Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 18:33:08 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-is-getting-a-movie-adaptation-at-call-of-duty-film-studio-transformers-producer-on-board/ Movie studio Paramount has announced that it's making a Cyberpunk 2077 movie, becoming just the latest upcoming game adaptation. The studio is also behind the Call of Duty movie that's set for release in 2028. Deadline reported that Lorenzo di Bonaventura, known for his work on the super-popular Transformers movie series, is attached to produce. CD Projekt Red is on board as well to produce, which might make fans happy to hear. CD Projekt Red's Michał Nowakowski praised Paramount, saying the company shares the developer's ambitions. "We're excited about Paramount as a future partner who shares our creative ambitions for the Cyberpunk franchise. We look forward to sharing more details at the appropriate time," he said. Cyberpunk 2's associate game director, Paweł Sasko, said, "I’m beyond excited chooms." Cyberpunk 2077 is headed to the big screen. Not all Hollywood adaptations include their creators, as Larian has no involvement in the Baldur's Gate 3 TV show, while Naughty Dog dropped out of The Last of Us Season 3 on HBO, prompting fears about creative decisions. Paramount has been in the news a lot lately following the company's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery and combination of the two companies. Going forward, the parent company will be called Skydance. Presumably the Call of Duty and Cyberpunk 2077 movies are among those set for release in theaters, following Paramount's commitment to releasing at least 30 movies in theaters each year. It is very early days for the Cyberpunk 2077 movie, and there is no word yet on who may direct or star in it, nor has Paramount given it a release date. The game series, meanwhile, is expanding with a sequel, Cyberpunk 2, which is in development now. Cyberpunk 2077 had a well-documented disastrous launch in December 2020, but the Polish developer steadily supported, updated, and improved the game over the years. Many are calling it one of the best comeback stories ever for a high-profile game. Things culminated in the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 release in 2023 and the launch of the stellar Phantom Liberty expansion. The game has sold more than 40 million copies.

Title: Arc Raiders Celeste’s Teenage Rebellion Quest Guide Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 17:51:45 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/arc-raiders-celestes-teenage-rebellion-quest-guide/ Arc Raiders' new Frozen Trail update has brought with it a brand-new map to explore, but some of its quests still send you to previous maps to do a bit of busywork. For instance, for Celeste's Teenage Rebellion, you'll need to make your way back to Riven Tides. Here's what you need to know about completing this task for Celeste. In This Article Reach the lookout tower on Mulatierra HillTransmit the location from the top of the towerReach the old Raider Camp near the hotel, overlooking the beachSearch for the radio transmitter at the Raider CampFind the large antenna overlooking Riven Tides harborWeld the broken generatorStart the transmitter Reach the lookout tower on Mulatierra Hill The first part of the quest requires you to visit the lookout tower on Mulatierra Hill, which can be found in the center of the map. Lookout tower location The tower is hard to miss. Make your way inside, then take the ladder up to the top. Transmit the location from the top of the tower At the top of the tower, transmit your location at the prompt. Transmit your location here. Next, we're heading west. Reach the old Raider Camp near the hotel, overlooking the beach You'll now need to make your way to a Raider Camp between the beach and the hotel on the western side of the map. Check the map below for the exact location. Raider Camp location When you arrive, you'll need to find a radio transmitter in the camp. Search for the radio transmitter at the Raider Camp Interact with the prompt below to find a radio transmitter. Radio transmitter location Your quest will update with a new objective. Find the large antenna overlooking Riven Tides harbor Lastly, make your way all the way east to the large antenna that overlooks the harbor. Large antenna location This is on the very edge of the map, and much like the tower from earlier, it's rather hard to miss on the cliffside here. Weld the broken generator Interact with the generator directly next to the antenna to weld it. Weld the generator. One more step to go! Start the transmitter Next, press the "Enable the power" prompt. Enable the power. This finishes the quest, meaning you can now leave from an extraction point or raider hatch at your leisure. Turn the quest in back in Speranza for a Heavy Shield and a Looting Mk. 2 augment, which will both come in handy for the harder quests in the Frozen Trail update. Happy raiding!

Title: Critical Role joins Rockbeasts, launching January 2027. Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 17:00:00 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/08/critical-role-joins-rockbeasts-launching-january-2027/ Since the very beginning, we knew Rockbeasts was something special. To us, at least. Not because it’s the biggest game, or the safest bet. Quite the opposite. It’s not built around a genre you can neatly file it under. It’s built around a theme, a very specific fantasy that comes straight from our own experiences and our own love of music – and how it shaped us. That’s what makes it special. It’s also exactly what makes it hard. For anyone just discovering us: Rockbeasts is a rock and roll management RPG. You’re not the frontman, not the drummer, but the manager. Your job is to take a band from a garage full of ego, feedback, and half-finished songs, all the way to the biggest stages out there. Along the way, you’ll juggle resources, wrangle personalities, put out fires (sometimes literal ones), and try to keep the whole beautiful mess together long enough to make it big. Games like this, the ones driven by feeling rather than formula, don’t play nice with algorithms. They’re harder to pitch, harder to categorize, harder to put in front of the people who’d actually love them. We knew that going in. We also knew that if this idea ever got the right support behind it, it could become something much bigger than what we could build alone. That support has arrived. We’re beyond proud to share that Lichthund is partnering with Critical Role, both creatively and on the publishing side. Their experience, talent and honestly, their taste for stories with real heart, combined with everything we’ve poured into our game, is exactly the combination we always hoped for. This partnership is what should let Rockbeasts become the game we always wanted it to be, instead of the game we had to settle for. It took us a moment to get here. And there’s still a lot we need to handle as we want to make Rockbeasts the best version of itself. But we’re ready. As if we were to enter a rock stage ourselves.Matthew Mercer and Sam Riegel will share that stage with us, as they are officially joining Rockbeasts’s cast. Seeing our characters played by them is a dream come true. If you know Critical Role (and if you don’t, please do yourself a favor and check them out), you know what these two bring to a character: chaos, heart, and a level of commitment that makes a script feel like a true adventure. That’s exactly the energy our game needs, because managing a band this unhinged was never going to be a quiet job. And there’s more to come, so please stay with us on this last mile leading to the release – and here’s the second, equally exciting part… Rockbeasts launches on PS5 in January 2027! That’s when you’ll finally get to sit in the manager’s chair, wrangle your own beautifully broken band, and try to get them to the stage they deserve – in one piece, if you’re lucky. We’ve been building toward this moment for a long time. For those of you already with us – thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in something a little different. For those we’re just about to meet – welcome and enjoy the tour. You can wishlist Rockbeasts now in preparation for launch in January 2027.

Title: Phoenix Cyclops joins MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls on November 2 Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2026 17:00:48 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/07/phoenix-cyclops-joins-marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-on-november-2/ Hello everyone! I’m Takeshi Yamanaka, Producer of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Today, we’re excited to reveal the gameplay trailer for Phoenix Cyclops, the first DLC character included in the Year 1 Pass for MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Arriving on November 2, Phoenix Cyclops (voiced by Ray Chase) brings a unique fighting style that combines a wide variety of Optic Blast attacks with the devastating power of the Phoenix Force. On the same day, Cyclops’ “Classic” and “Legacy” DLC costumes will also become available. If you’ve been waiting for Cyclops to join MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls and haven’t picked up the game yet, now is a great time to jump in. The game’s first-ever sale on PlayStation Store begins today, ahead of his arrival with the Ultimate Edition available at a discounted price. PlayStation Plus subscribers will also be able to try MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls with a 3-hour Game Trial starting today. Today, I’d like to share more about why we chose Phoenix Cyclops instead of the traditional version of Cyclops, the thought process behind his character design, his gameplay mechanics, and the inspiration behind his DLC costumes. Why Phoenix Cyclops? Play Video Early in development, Cyclops was one of the leading candidates to join the roster as a member of the Unbreakable X-Men team. Cyclops has appeared in numerous Marvel fighting games over the years, and his visual identity and battle style have become firmly established through that long history. Because of that, we challenged ourselves to explore whether there was a way to present him in a style that felt different from what players had seen before. This became a major topic of discussion within the team. During those discussions, our narrative team proposed the idea of using the Phoenix version of Cyclops. We felt this interpretation would allow us to create fresher visuals and a more exciting fighting style while offering something unexpected for players. As a result, we made the difficult decision to continue working on the character until we felt like we were adding something new to his fighting game legacy. As a result, we’re excited to now release Phoenix Cyclops as our first post-launch DLC character. Character design Phoenix Cyclops hopes to tame a destructive power to save mutantkind from extinction. This version of Scott Summers believes in absolute justice and is willing to make difficult decisions and take extreme actions when necessary. At the same time, we wanted to convey the inner conflict and emotional burden that comes with those choices. To help express that side of his personality, we intentionally gave him a somewhat younger appearance to contrast the incredible aura of the Phoenix Force. With Phoenix Cyclops’ transformed state, we wanted to illustrate his shift from idealistic leader to fiery corruption.   While the overall Phoenix costume remains faithful to its source material, we incorporated details and visual touches inspired by the comics throughout the design process. Above all, our goal was simple: to make him look as cool as possible. Gameplay and skills Cyclops is designed as an all-rounder who excels at both long-range combat and close-range strikes through his versatile use of Optic Blasts. Empowered by the Phoenix Force, he can also unleash wide-area fire-based attacks that control large portions of the screen. In addition to projectiles, rushing attacks, throws, and setup tools, he has access to a wide variety of Optic Blast techniques. As players continue to use Optic Blasts, they accumulate Phoenix Force energy called Solar Shards. Once four Solar Shards have been collected, Cyclops can transform into his Dark Phoenix form. This mechanic was inspired by the Avengers vs. X-Men storyline, in which Cyclops became one of the Phoenix Five and eventually absorbed the power of his fellow teammates, transforming into Dark Phoenix. Entering Dark Phoenix form grants a significant temporary power boost, but it also comes with risks, including health depletion. The Phoenix Force is both an incredible source of power and a path to destruction. Successfully managing and controlling that power will be one of the keys to victory. DLC costumes When we decided to make Phoenix Cyclops the base version of the character, we understood that many fans would prefer the classic appearance they have known and loved for years. This isn’t unique to Cyclops. Anyone who grew up reading comics or watching animated adaptations has their own vision of what these characters should look like. Because of that, whenever we significantly reinterpret a character’s design or choose a relatively uncommon version of a character, we approach development with the expectation that classic-inspired costumes should also be available. The “Classic” and “Legacy” costumes were created with that philosophy in mind. We hope players enjoy experiencing Phoenix Cyclops in whichever style they prefer. Play Phoenix Cyclops first at EVO France It’s hard to believe that nearly two months have passed since launch. To everyone who continues to play the game every day, thank you for your incredible support. Players attending EVO France from October 9-11 will also have the opportunity to be among the first in the world to try Phoenix Cyclops. If you’re attending the event, we hope you’ll stop by the MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls booth and give him a try. Thank you again for your continued support, and we look forward to sharing more with you soon.

Title: Warhammer Survivors launches November 10, new characters revealed Date: Tue, 06 Oct 2026 14:00:51 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/06/warhammer-survivors-launches-november-10-new-characters-revealed/ Today, we’re excited to announce that Warhammer Survivors launches on PS5 November 10. To mark the occasion we’re also revealing two characters in our latest trailer.  Play Video Eagle-eyed fans who have been following the game for a while may have noticed Morvenn Vahl in the game’s key art, and we’re really excited to show her off in full pixel art glory finally. Warhammer Survivors allows you to play in both the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universe, so her counterpart (as part of today’s reveal) is Lyssa Revenya, a skilled thief and tomb-robber.  While both champions take prime position in today’s spotlight, they couldn’t be more different.  Who is Morvenn Vahl?  Formerly a young Celestian Superior, Morvenn Vahl was chosen to become High Abbess Sanctorum – supreme commander of Adepta Sororitas. Vahl is an iron-willed warrior, suffering no fools and certainly no heretics. Dissatisfied with commanding from the safety of the Imperium, Vahl spearheads many crusades personally, leading from the front.  How does she destroy the endless swarms of Tyranids, Death Guard Plague Marines, and Orks?  As one of our larger Warhammer Survivors characters, Vahl strides across the battlefield in her ornate Paragon Warsuit. She’s armed with the devastating Heavy Bolter Fidelis, which sprays an arc of projectiles obliterating her foes. The weapon also has a chance to trigger a miracle, blessing Vahl and increasing the weapon’s rate of fire.  Fidelis can be evolved to the Purgator Mirabilis, which unlocks the use of the warsuit’s Paragon Missile Launcher, unleashing a sporadic salvo of explosions across the battlefield – in addition to Fidelis’ spray of bolter shells.  Enemies of Imperium, beware!  Thief, Tomb-Robber, Saviour of Cinderfall – who is Lyssa Revenya?  We’re moving to the Mortal Realms next.  Lyssa Revenya is a talented thief and an integral member of the Saviours of Cinderfall, a rag-tag band of heroes who scoured the streets of Hammerhal and put an end to those plotting the city’s demise. Originally hailing from Lethis, Lyssa is well-versed in the art of navigating trap-ridden crypts and catacombs of that morbid city.  Lyssa’s unique toolset for breaking and entering – and slaying hordes of Skaven  In Warhammer Survivors, Lyssa turns her signature tools for breaking and entering into weapons. The Rope and Grapnel shoot hooks in from random edges of the screen, colliding with specific points on the battlefield, damaging enemies and dragging away any who survive. It’s the perfect weapon for a nimble thief who likes to stay more than a sword-length from their enemies.  When the Rope and Grapnel evolves, Lyssa communes with the spirit of Rhea, a former ally and mentor. This terrifying, screaming banshee soars across the battlefield, exploding into a vengeful cloud of damaging ghostly fog. Perhaps in the right hands, Lyssa’s Rope and Grapnel can be utilised to pull enemies toward the Ghost of Rhea’s vengeful uproars? There’s only one way to find out.  Warhammer Survivors launches on November 10; Morvenn Vahl and Lyssa Revenya are just two of over 40 playable champions waiting for you in-game. You can wishlist and pre-order on PlayStation 5 starting today, and PlayStation Plus members will receive a 10% discount when pre-ordering.

Title: Everything you need to know about DMZ mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2026 17:15:00 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/05/everything-you-need-to-know-about-dmz-mode-in-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4/ DMZ is Call of Duty’s definitive extraction shooter experience, launching alongside Campaign and Multiplayer when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 releases on October 23. To help prepare you for this extraction game mode, here are the major highlights, starting with a tour of the Forward Operating Base and its many stations. Forward Operating Base The Forward Operating Base (FOB) is your command center for DMZ. Manage progression, prepare your gear, and plan the next deployment. As you complete Operations across Hajin, the FOB evolves with you, transforming from a foothold to a fully operational base with over a dozen different Stations. Here’s a look at the stations you can immediately access: Operators: Manage and select your Active Duty Operator, check their status, and select one for deployment. DMZ Orders: Where you review your current set of Missions downloaded to your Orders Tablet. Earn rewards for completing these structured objectives during deployments. Stash/Loadout: Stow looted items you’ve extracted with in your Stash. Equip weapons and gear in your Loadout, ready for the next infil. Firing Range: Test your equipped weapons at the FOB Firing Range against a variety of targets.   Deploy: A threshold of razor wire leads to a heavy-lift military transport waiting for your orders to deploy. Continue successful deployments within Hajin, and focus on expanding your base with more stations. Here’s what you can unlock: 3D Printer: Use Resources and 3D Printer Ingredients to craft a variety of gear. This is also used to upgrade various stations in the FOB. Gunsmith: Loot weapons and return with them, then use DMZ Cash to purchase attachments, or build brand new weapons by extracting from Hajin with a Weapon Manual. Vendor: Check the vendor’s wares and spend DMZ Cash on a selection of weapons and other helpful gear. The items on sale rotate from day to day, so buy something when you see it. Bounty Leaderboard: Gain intel on the most dangerous PvP Bounty hunters and killers active across Hajin. Boss Board: Need to track down a high-value target? Seek intel on Lieutenants, then drop into Hajin, search them out, and face down the exclusion zone’s most dangerous foes. Dog Tag Case: Display your trophies from defeated Operators. DMZ Progression: Ensure you’re leveling up in DMZ with this dedicated Progression Track, from 1-70. Unlock FOB stations and gain rewards every step of the way. Deployment Customize your match experience by choosing one of three deployment options:  Story Missions: Select and replay narrative objectives across Hajin for big rewards. Dynamic Operations: Deploy directly into a Dynamic Op to earn DMZ Cash and XP. Every completed Operation provides a Supply Drop of increasing rarity for your squad.  Free Roam: Deploy without a mission and lose yourself exploring Hajin City.  Tips for gaining DMZ XP Story Missions, Dynamic Ops, Orders: Prioritize completing Story Missions, Dynamic Ops, and Orders to earn valuable gear and big DMZ XP payouts. Boss Hunt: Hunt down Lieutenants and Commanders to earn major rewards. These tough enemies roam the map in different locations around Hajin, and when defeated, award plenty of XP along with their weapons and high-value loot. Loot Up: Loot consistently to acquire new items, use them at the 3D Printer back at your Forward Operating Base, and to improve your match rating. After Action Report: Fight the enemy, loot, and complete objectives to improve your overall deployment rating. Strive for an S Tier performance (or better) for the best rewards. Vehicles: Take advantage of the numerous vehicles throughout Hajin for faster travel across land, water, and air. Repair and refuel vehicles at the Gas Station. Threat Levels and more Each area of Hajin has a particular Threat Level associated with it. If you’re too loud, expect a violent enemy response specific to the area you’re in. It may be wise to be stealthy. This just scratches the surface of DMZ. Squad up and experience the exciting new game mode firsthand at launch and expect additional content in the updates to come. ​​ Modern Warfare 4 is available for pre-order now on PlayStation 5, launching October 23.

Title: Dave the Diver is wrapping up its DLC plans with an aquatically appropriate Subnautica 2 collab Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 19:06:45 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/dave-the-diver-is-wrapping-up-its-dlc-plans-with-an-aquatically-appropriate-subnautica-2-collab I am not a huge fan of collaboration DLCs, mostly because my curmudgeonly self can only see them as attempts at multiple companies trying to profit off of one another's things. But I do have to admit that yes, the just announced collab between Dave the Diver and Subnautica 2 does make total sense. Certainly more sense than the Godzilla one from a couple of years back.

Title: The Witcher 3 Remastered's latest patch brings some bloomin' improvements to the game's bloom problems, amongst other lighting buffs Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 18:30:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-witcher-3-remastereds-latest-patch-brings-some-bloomin-improvements-to-the-games-bloom-problems-amongst-other-lighting-buffs A dev's work is never done, and certainly not with a big ole revamp like The Witcher 3 Remastered. CD Projekt Red put out a new patch today bringing in a range of fixes for the RPG, perhaps most notably sorting out some of the game's lighting issues, amongst other, PC-specific related problems to do with your GPU.

Title: Volatiles takes the piece-by-piece map building of boardgames like Betrayal at House on the Hill and slaps a gory survival shooter on top of them Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 18:00:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/volatiles-takes-the-piece-by-piece-map-building-of-boardgames-like-betrayal-at-house-on-the-hill-and-slaps-a-gory-survival-shooter-on-top-of-them I do love a boardgame where you reveal the tiles as you play. Sure, I also enjoy turning over all the pieces at the beginning of a game of Settlers of Catan and taking in all the tiles and trying to work out a strategy based on which resources are clustered near which port, but that's not the same as a game like Betrayal at House on the Hill, where you all start together in one single room and unveil the architecture of the house tile by tile as you explore. You have that same strategic eye, looking at the function and threat each room holds, but because the house is still being built, your plan can't become fixed. You have to reassess the layout of the building with each new piece and, of course, when you hit the moment in the game where one player betrays you the real danger arrives, all that planning now has to be twisted to oppose the new threat. Volatiles is an action game that plays with that same sense of strategy and mystery. It starts with you waking in a strange facility with little sense of what brought you there. The scientists around you say they're helping you, but they're the same people who keep dunking you into a sensory deprivation tank and forcing you to fight the monsters in your mind. It's just possible they don't have your best interests at heart. Read more

Title: Prospice: Anomalous Logistics is SnowRunner except instead of lengths of copper pipe, you're transporting the body parts of eldritch gods Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 17:30:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/prospice-anomalous-logistics-is-snowrunner-except-instead-of-lengths-of-copper-pipe-youre-transporting-the-body-parts-of-eldritch-gods Viewed from the front, my truck, with its winch and thick off-road tires, could be straight from SnowRunner central casting. Sure, it would an off-off-Broadway production of SnowRunner, with the polycount and texture resolution of a PS1-era take on the driving simulator, but I'm looking at a vehicle that is ready to struggle through thick mud and deep water; a petrol-guzzling workhorse. Then I walk around the side and glimpse the load it's hauling: a giant severed hand, freshly cut from the corpse of a buried god. Prospice: Anomalous Logistics has all the markings of SnowRunner, MudRunner and Spintires games, the driving simulators with a focus on overcoming difficult off-road terrain, but it's seen through the lens of eldritch horror and the new weird.
