- Pearl previously revealed a trailer for Crimson Desert at the end of last year, which showed off the open-world game. Pearl Abyss is well known for it’s first MMO Black Desert, which is not a coincidence that both share the word “Desert”.

Crimson comes with whole new worldviews, religions, and characters unique to its tale.

Baldur’s Gate 3
- Larian Studios has released their third patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 this week which is currently in Early Access.
- Latest patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 is quite a big one with “major changes to design and gameplay”. Larian Studios has added more rewards for taking the non-violent route, less punishing dialog skill checks, improved resting and spellcasting. Apparently your companion will be less harsh towards you in terms of behaviour, as this was something players gave in terms of feedback.
- The reason for the change is Larian wishes to reward “creativity and exploration” but the current game state didn’t reward those who decided to take the pacifist option. The latest patch rewards players who decided to avoid combat situations, which includes dialogue or through exploration and environmental puzzle solving.
- NPC companions have also had an attitude makeover, making them a little less particular about “every single thing”.
- Another request from players which was “wildly popular” was the revamp of the spell system. Spells that require resources will now feel “much more impactful”.
- Making things a little more forgiving, dialog skill checks have now been changed so players won’t get locked out of certain content due a bad dice doll, but if only if the “situation really merits it”.
- Players already had access to “partially functional” cross-saves between Steam and GOG, now you can share your saves between Steam, Stadia, Mac and GoG.

Rumour: Elden Ring at TGA 2020
- The rumour mills are churning as we get closer to The Game Awards 2020, and one particular highly anticipated title that everyone has been waiting for news from is FromSoftware’s dark fantasy RPG Elden Ring.
- Netziens have noticed interesting Twitter actions by Bandai Namco staff who have been retweeting and unretweeting posts concerning TGA 2020 which was pointed out by Kinda Funny’s Imran Kahn.
- Adding further fuel to the bonfire flames (souls joke, couldn’t resist), souls content creator and dataminer Lance McDonald commented that Elden Ring is almost finished during a Twitch livestream, and that FromSoftware are waiting to show it publicly. The source of this is apparently from contractors who are working on the game, people they’d only bring in when they are close to finishing a game.
- Of course take these findings with a pinch of salt, as nothing has been shared by From themselves. We’ll have to sit and watch this space to see if Elden Ring makes an appearance this year.
