ArcheAge Devs Delay Relics of Hiram Launch to Ensure Stable Servers

A brief post has been written to inform the ArcheAge community that the Relics of Hiram update is going to be delayed. Originally scheduled for release today, the note indicates that the team is working towards a new indeterminate date to ensure server stability. The delay for stability has also come at the hands of Monday’s revelation that Trion Worlds was sold to Gamigo. It remains unclear if Gamigo will continue publishing AA or if it will revert to developer XLGames.

Fortnite – Haphazard & Hurriedly Beautiful

Another two weeks pass. Another column is due. What should I write about? The crowd-funded news well isn’t exactly flowing. The big game release schedule, just in time for Christmas, is looking thick, solid and tight but I don’t see any MMORPG’s in the mix.

I’m talking about Fortnite, again.

The Saints Are Gonna Come Marching In as You Collect Them in Follow JC Go

Italian site Corriere.it (via Eurogamer) is reporting that the Vatican has given its literal blessing to a new Pokemon Go-inspired game called Follow JC Go. The game, like Pokemon Go, uses augmented reality to send players off on a hunt for “saints, blessed and other biblical characters”.

In News You Didn’t Expect Today – Hellgate: London Is Returning to Steam

If you woke up today thinking that it’s “just another Wednesday”, have we got news for you! It appears that Hellgate: London, originally developed at Bill Roper’s Flagship Studios, is coming back to Steam.

Perhaps the 2018 version will prove that the third time is the charm?
