You're a long time undead. 7 Days To Die was shuffling along in early access for 11 years, until version 1.0 finally burst through the windows. In that time, many other survival games have sprouted, blossomed, and gently faded away. I first visited the burnt-out ruins of this zombie-infested world a decade ago and I returned to it this week to find a tree-puncher that, despite bearing the pockmarks of early access, retains much of what made it enjoyable back when the survival genre was still wearing its baby onesie. Instead of a review, I figured I'd scribble together a mini starter guide for new (or returning) players. Partly because the game is a proper time sink and it was taking me so long to get through everything. But mostly because I wanted to use that numberful headline. So, here you go: 7 dos and 7 don'ts in 7 Days To (7) Die.

There's now an easier way to buy and play Jackbox mini-games, via the brand's new Megapicker launcher, available on Steam.

To celebrate, Jackbox is currently offering discounts on its range of mini-games and - for the next 30 days - the fan-favourite Drawful 2 to keep for free.

The Megapicker, first announced last month, is designed to act as a central hub for Jackbox mini-games, eliminating the need to rifle through each of its party packs for the game you're after. (This is handy, as I frequently forget which pack some mini-games were released within!)

Společnost Telltale Games si připomíná výročí svého založení a odhaluje nové snímky obrazovky pro očekávanou připravovanou adventuru.

Společnost Telltale Games před více než rokem oznámila, že hra The Wolf Among Us 2 byla odložena až na rok 2024 a vývoj dlouho očekávaného pokračování adventury se přesunul na Unreal Engine 5. V polovině roku je datum vydání hry stále neznámé, poslední trailer měl premiéru před více než dvěma lety, a i když se Telltale stále zdráhá podělit o masivnější novinky o hře, přesto nabídlo novou ukázku.

Na Twitteru studio připomnělo výročí založení původního studia Telltale Games dvěma novými screenshoty z The Wolf Among Us 2, na nichž je hlavní hrdina Bigby Wolf na různých místech. Nových informací o hře je stále málo, nevíme ani, kdy můžeme očekávat podrobnosti o jejím uvedení na trh (nebo dokonce nový trailer) – ale je to alespoň něco. Níže si můžete prohlédnout screenshoty.

Společnost Telltale Games v říjnu loňského roku potvrdila, že byla zasažena propouštěním „kvůli současným podmínkám na trhu“. V té době studio uvedlo, že hra The Wolf Among Us 2 je „stále ve výrobě“, ale krátce poté bylo oznámeno, že většina vývojářského týmu hry byla propuštěna v rámci propouštění.

Hra The Wolf Among Us 2 je ve vývoji pro konzole PS5, Xbox řady X/S a PC. Podívejte se na další nové screenshoty, které společnost Telltale Games zveřejnila na začátku tohoto roku, prostřednictvím tohoto odkazu.

Today's a big day for us. It marks the anniversary of the OG Telltale's founding.

We wouldn't be back without you.

So, thanks, and enjoy some new TWAU2 screens to start your weekend right. #Telltaleversary pic.twitter.com/lM9UFSOEpn

I don't know what the longest-running early access game in history has been (perhaps Project Zomboid?) but I know that zombie survival game 7 Days To Die is definitely up there. We first reported its appearance back in the dark ages of 2013. For context, that was the year Grand Theft Auto V came out. Whoa! Okay, calm down, sorry, I didn't mean to panic you. Yes, the arrow of time is inviolable. We are all marching steadily towards our graves, I know. But at least now 7 Days To Die has finally released its fully baked version 1.0.

There’ve been a ton of Jackbox Party Packs over the last near-decade, each following a fairly similar structure: one or two standout games you’ll want to replay, a couple you might dip into every now and then, and at least one you’ll try once and then never bother with again. With 10 different packs to pick from, it becomes an increasing fuss to remember which pack has which game in, and then boot it up just to play its highlight before repeating the process when you choose to play something else.

Ten years ago, we were drowning in early access survival games about chopping trees and crafting camp fires. Rust pit monstrous players against one another, DayZ had us dashing around for beans and bleach, while The Forest creeped us the hell out in a dark jungle. There was even a week-long celebration here at RPS called survival week to get the genre out of our systems. A lot of those games have since graduated to a full 1.0 release, but one survivalist shambled on. 7 Days To Die is a solid sandbox craft 'em up with zombie hordes, and it never left the comfort of its early access log cabin surrounded by spikes and land mines. But a (tentative) release date is finally on the horizon, according to the developers. And it's quite soon.

In celebration of Minecraft’s 15th anniversary, Netflix has a new animated series set in its world. This series will be the second adaptation of the hugely popular survival sandbox game known for its blocky textures currently in development, as a movie starring Jack Black is also in the works.

7 Days to Die – an open-world zombie game that first released back in December 2013 – is finally leaving early access.

Developer The Fun Pimps says that the next update will not only usher in new gore, challenges, and improved controller support, but also move the 11-year-old game out of early access for the very first time.

It's not all good news, though, particularly if you already own the £30 zombie game on console.

In 2022, Telltale Games officially announced The Wolf Among Us 2. Since then, though, we haven’t heard anything a lot about this game. Well, that may change as Geoff Keighley has shared the first screenshots from it, and he has stated that the game is in full production. In 2023, Telltale revealed that The Wolf … Continue reading First Screenshots for the Unreal Engine 5-powered The Wolf Among Us 2 →

The post First Screenshots for the Unreal Engine 5-powered The Wolf Among Us 2 appeared first on DSOGaming.

Deck Nine Games, the studio behind Life is Strange: True Colors and last year's The Expanse: A Telltale Series, has announced it's laying off approximately 20 percent of its total workforce, blaming "the game industry's worsening market conditions".

Deck Nine is perhaps best known as the current steward of Square Enix's supernatural narrative adventure series Life is Strange, having created 2017's Life is Strange: Before the Storm, 2021's Life is Strange: True Colours, and a remaster of series originator Don't Nod's acclaimed first instalment in 2022. More recently, it co-developed a prequel to popular sci-fi TV show The Expanse alongside the revived Telltales Games.

Deck Nine confirmed its decision to lay off a fifth of its staff - likely around 30 employees based on its most recently shared headcount - in a statement on social media, writing, "Like many others in the games industry right now, Deck Nine has been affected by the game industry's worsening market conditions. Today we made the difficult decision to lay off 20% of our staff."
