Hello Legion Gamers!

Every month @GoLLuM13 graciously shares the upcoming releases of the month (and we are always grateful @GoLLuM13!). But yesterday, the 11 bit studios had a press release revealing their plans for the rest of the year. So now we can try something different: to look at one studio releases for the rest of the year. So here goes:

11 bit studios started strong and already released The Thaumaturge ( @GoLLuM13 mentioned it in the March game list and I shared a post later when it came out) The next in line is the arthouse adventure INDIKA, to be released very soon, on the 22nd of May:

This is followed by a highly anticipated Frostpunk 2 to be released on the 25th of July. The game just finished a round of beta-testing, and hopefully will get a bit more polish before the release (something I wish The Thaumaturge would have done). But it already looks good, especially if you played the first game (who has?). No wonder it was wishlisted over 2 million times already:

And then there is another interesting game coming up, The Alters. No set date for that one yet, but developers say "a few weeks after Frostpunk 2, so we're looking at the end of Summer/beginning of Autumn, probably. The concept is quite interesting, I think:

And to wrap it up, with no set date, the last release of the year will be Creatures of Ava. To early to say anything for sure, remains to be seen how it will turn out, but we can get a glimpse:

And that's it for the 11 bit studios publisher plans! Definitely a colorful selection, and a rare case where I'd want to try all of these games. Just need to make sure they are properly patched and polished first, I am a bit careful after The Thaumaturge. But all of them look interesting and different and worth a go to me.

What about you, see anything you'd like to try?

@DoctorEldritch The Alters and Frostpunk 2 for me.

Same. Though INDIKA looks intriguing, they did choose some...how to put it...bizarre angles for the trailer. That's a bit too much looking up character nostrils for me 😅

The vibe of these 2 games is almost opposite 😅. Do you plan to play Creatures of Ava with your niece?

[DoctorEldritch]

@GoLLuM13 I just learned that they announced the release date for Creatures of Ava, it's going to be the 7th of August, so pretty soon:

And the writing is done by Rhianna Pratchett. Not sure how I feel about it, for me her stories are more often miss than hit, she is not Sir Terry... But we'll see.

[GoLLuM13]

Wait and see like we say 😁

@GoLLuM13 I sort of liked her Overlord, but that's about it. Tomb Raider was a disappointment. Then again, if Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark, not to mention Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, taught us anything it's that those adventuring archaeologists are hard to write good stories about. 😅

@GoLLuM13, @ChristianRasmussen, @Saka and @TrendaTen, a bit of hassle news: Frostpunk 2 was delayed until September. Here is what they tweeted (or is it x-ed now, I dunno):



At least it is not too much of a delay, and if it is to polish it up, I can live with that. Still, would have been nice to play frosty city management in the middle of a scorching Summer. Oh well...

Sounds good, that game needs to be out when it is cold to get the full immersion.
