Skulls is back for another year. Curious to see if Fatshark actually has anything substantial to show off for Darktide.

I'm intrigued by an announcement for Boltgun, haven't heard much since launch. It was a lot of fun for the first few hours at least but it did get repetitive.

[Nephaston]

Now everyone please note that this is SKULLS, not THRONE OF SKULLS. Those two are not the same.

[MagicHat]

Interesting, Battlesector will now be developed by Slitherine, so I guess this will be the first reveal of what they will do.

It will be interesting to see what the Boltgun news is. DLC? A enhanced version for PS5/PC with better visuals? A sequel? I really enoyed it. I would love a sequel. Also the option to at least change your skin so I can play as an Imperial Fist.

I think the visuals being the way they are is part of the point/a key part of the appeal. It's a retro shooter.

We need some news about Space Marine 2. The games is set to be release in some 120 day and we got little or nothing news about co-op, pvp and an eventual beta.

 

Interested to see about Darktide that I really like (some maps and story pls) and boltgun that was a blast from the past.

 

Rogue Trader? I have yet to play it but it's the next game once I will finish BG3.

[Jukkiz]

we know we will be seeing gameplay, surely. Of SM2

[Nephaston]

Space Marine 2 releases in 114/117 days, by Skulls it'll be 106/109 days, so plenty of time to get the ol' marketing machine rolling. And unless the PvP is pared out as a later update or standalone release it'll have to stick the landing along with the single player. And while I was miffed at the delay, having the people involved not just rush it out as fast as possible to rake in cash has earned them some goodwill on my end, so I'm willing to tolerate the standard release fare of hiccups.

 

What I'm actually more curious about is any morsel of news od Speed Freeks, which was a big surprise last time with its open alpha being seemingly absent from the list and video. I wanna waaagh! on me rides somthin' bad.

It does have a pixelation slider now that I think about it, so better visuals might just be in reach if the main issue is pixel count.

[Lord Marshal]

Can't wait to be disappointed again.

@Nephaston Speed Freeks announced last week that it will be released in "Summer 2024". I played the alpha test and this is the one upcoming game I'm interested in.

SM 2 has already had a beta by invitation a few weeks ago, we've had a few leaked screenshots of it. As far as I'm aware, it was only the single player content. However, the art book leak did confirm CSM skins for PvP

Fresh Speed Freeks news here, including a new game mode.
