As a result, the ship date for Conan Exiles has slipped from Q1 2018 to Q2 2018 which provides the team with time up to the end of June to get things in order.

– The Boyfriend Dungeon Lets You Date Your Weapons…Yes, Really
Kitfox Games has probably earned the weirdest game of the week title — maybe even for the month…or year.

You can choose from four different weapons, each with its own gender and personality. Seriously, we can’t make it up.
Crowfall – Exciting Harvesting Changes & Singapore Bloodbath

Bungie opened the first Destiny 2 prestige raid earlier today (10:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm Eastern) and just over an hour later, Clan Redeem has defeated it. Clan Redeem beat Leviathan a scant four-minutes ahead of the next finisher, something Bungie deemed a “good game”.
