										<content:encoded><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that Embracer Group has had a rough time of it lately, with repeated layoffs and studio sell-offs rocking the game studio for over two years. Now, Embracer Group has announced that it will be spinning up Fellowship Entertainment as separately listed public company on the Stockholm NASDAQ. The new game studio will still be run by Embracer Group, but Embracer&#8217;s Chair of the Board, Laws Wingefors said in an investor note announcing the move that &#8220;the separation is about sharper management focus and clearer accountability,&#8221; and that it gives &#8220;each business the structure and leadership to realize more of its full potential.&#8221; Fellowship will focus on development, publishing, and licensing, and it will supposedly free up resources and &#8220;allow Embracer more flexibility to pursue accretive but opportunistic bolt-on M&amp;A,&#8221; in order to expand its footholds in niches like mobile, distribution, retro, films, remakes, and remasters, seemingly suggesting that Embracer will continue to acquire more game studios and IPs.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Despite launching nearly a decade ago, Darksiders Warmastered Edition has only just made it to PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S consoles, and alongside those updated console versions, an updated version of Darksiders Warmastered Edition was pushed to Steam, too. The biggest updates to Darksiders War mastered Edition come by way of an updated render engine, better controller support, and bug fixes and quality of life updates. The new update requires a 64-bit CPU, and, because of the addition of Vulkan, any hardware running the Warmastered Edition will now need to be compatible with the Vulkan API version 1.3, which is supported as far back as AMD&#8217;s Radeon R9 series GPUs and NVIDIA&#8217;s GeForce GTX 700 series GPUs.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[AMD today released Ryzen AI Halo, a compact AI development computer designed by AMD to serve as a nearly full-stack machine for AI development, inferencing, and generative AI content creation. Ryzen AI Halo is designed to strike a unique balance of price, performance, and capabilities that rival Apple Mac Mini and NVIDIA DGX Spark. It is a compact computer that can be used as a standalone PC, or in small clusters talking to your workstation. An advantage it offers over DGX Spark and Mac Mini is that it&#8217;s based on x86-64, and fully supports Windows. AMD is pricing the Ryzen AI Halo at $3,999. Pre-orders open in June 2026.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[1047 Games, the studio behind Splitgate and Splitgate: Arena Reloaded, recently revealed that it was working on a new movement shooter inspired by Titanfall and Call of Duty Black Ops 3, seemingly in an attempt to not have all of its eggs in one basket. Not much has been officially revealed about the game via official or unofficial channels, but a Steam page for Empulse (stylized &#8220;EMPULSE&#8221;), and it turned out to be that very same game revealed previously by 1047 Games CEO, Ian Proulx. Despite the studio already previously accepting sign-ups for playtesting, there is no launch date or even launch window attached to the Empulse just yet, but the Steam Store page does divulge a handful of details and screenshots. The game has also been confirmed to be launching on both PS5 and Xbox consoles. Read&nbsp;More]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[With the reputation Cyberpunk 2077 currently has, it&#8217;s easy to forget that the game launched in a rough state, afflicted by major performance and polish issues. According to a recent talk by CDPR&#8217;s lead technical writer, Jarosław Ruciński and senior technical writer, Adrian Fulneczek, at a Ditigal Dragons panel, the studio doesn&#8217;t intend to make the same mistake twice. According to the pair (via Gamesradar) , the studio has addressed the main cause of the issues that afflicted the Cyberpunk 2077 launch—specifically poor documentation. During the development of Cyberpunk 2077, the studio created more than 8,000 pages of documentation with a tool called Confluence, after which, the development team decided to migrate to a cloud instance of the tool, which further fragmented the documentation. As Fulneczek explains, the studio stopped prioritizing maintaining the documents entirely as a result, which led to difficulties understanding those documents both within CDPR and at its international partner studios.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[In February, we reported on Valve&#8217;s latest legal troubles: A lawsuit brought forward by the New York State Attorney General, Letitia James, who claims that the loot box and community market systems in games like Counter-Strike amount to &#8220;quintessential gambling,&#8221; and expose children and adolescents to potential gambling addiction later in life. Valve later issued a public statement dismissing the contents of the lawsuit and arguing that loot boxes are no different from physical blind-box goods, like trading cards and Labubus. Loot boxes have been controversial in gaming for almost as long as they&#8217;ve been around, and this lawsuit has sparked discussions about how they could be inherently predatory, but ultimately, it seems as though Valve&#8217;s argument centers around the letter of the law as much as the practical applications. According to a recent filing in the New York Supreme Court, Valve is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit based on a version of the same argument presented in the aforementioned statement and interpretation of what constitutes gambling.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hot on the heels of the launch of the Epomaker HE 75 V2 and F108 Pro V2 keyboards, the keyboard maker has shown off the Hack70 as an upcoming mechanical keyboard, offering a larger version of the ortholinear layout that featured in keyboards like the Luma40. The Hack70 has yet to be officially announced, but the keyboard has been teased in a number of social media posts and a recent unboxing livestream to the brand&#8217;s YouTube channel. The Hack70 has not yet been announced, but the only other keyboard in the Hack line-up is the HHKB-style Hack59, which comes in at $69.99 on Epomaker&#8217;s online store, so pricing may be somewhat similar for the Hack70. What few details can be gleaned from the aforementioned livestream suggest that, although it is a niche product, it will likely be on the more affordable side and appeal to those who want to dip their toes into ortholinear keyboards without diving into hyper-niche DIY builds or in-depth customization.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[A recent rumor revealed that there was a Lord of the Rings game in development at Warhorse, although there was some confusion surrounding the genre of the game in question. Now, Warhorse has confirmed in a post in X that the studio is indeed working on an open-world Middle Earth RPG and a &#8220;new Kingdom Come adventure,&#8221; which appears to be Kingdom Come Deliverance 3. Not much else was revealed about the games, but it stands to reason that the Kingdom Come game will follow on the existing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, although it could just as easily be a spin-off game.
