Hello, boys and girls! How are you? I remember when Summer used to be the drought season for gaming, where nothing of note would happen, with all the major publishers saving their releases for the Christmas season. Well, those times are clearly long-gone, and we have massive news all year long, every week! Heck, I would even dare say, every single day. So let’s get started!
Ashes of Singularity 2
Stardock Entertainment and Oxide Games have officially announced a sequel to their large-scale RTS game. Ashes of the Singularity 2 is set to release in 2026 and is being developed by an expanded team. It will introduce a new arsenal of advanced units and new gameplay mechanics. The game will feature a narrative campaign where players command the United Earth Forces against a rogue AI and a Post-Human Coalition in the near future of 2031. The game is a traditional RTS, so expect it to include base-building, resource management, and massive battles with hundreds of units on screen. In related news, Stardock is offering a free weekend for the predecessor, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation.
The Guild – Europa 1410
The Guild: Europa 1410 is a new simulation strategy game announced by THQ Nordic and developed by Ashborne Games. It’s a return to the roots of the series, inspired by the 2002 game Europa 1400: The Guild. In this game, players will start as a humble business in a medieval city and build it into a massive enterprise. With economic power comes political interests, so players will have to navigate the intricate political landscape of the time with less-than-stellar methods, similarly to what one would do in Crusader Kings 3. No release date has been announced, but it’s fair to say I’ll keep my eye on this one.
Battlefield 6 Open Beta Running Right Now!
The announcement of Battlefield 6 was met with widespread acclaim, with everyone who already had the opportunity to play the game praising it for being a return to the basics. Those basics don’t mean Battlefield 1942, but Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, arguably, the best titles in the whole series. Well, I’m but a single man, and I’m not immune to the hype, so by the time you’re reading this, I’ll certainly be in the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, which is running August 9th-10th, as well as August 14th-17th!
