A stand-alone prequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order, titled Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, has now been announced.

 

Here's word:

 

he year is 1946 and the Nazis are on the brink of winning World War II. In an effort to turn the tide in the Allies’ favour, B.J. Blazkowicz must embark on an epic, two-part mission deep within Bavaria. Part one of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves - pits BJ Blazkowicz against a maniacal prison warden as he breaks into Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to steal the coordinates to General Deathshead’s compound. In part two – The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs – our hero's search for the coordinates leads him to the city of Wulfburg where an obsessed Nazi archaeologist is exhuming mysterious artefacts that threaten to unleash a dark and ancient power.

Loot-based progression meets explosive sci-fi RTS action in Servo, a new twist on the genre from key members of the Age of Empires creative team.

 

Designing your ideal team of giant war machines is only the first step in Servo. The parts you earn after every battle can be freely swapped on all your Servos between matches, opening up new strategies and team compositions with every game you play.

 

Even the strongest Servos need support. Whether in co-op, PvP, or single-player story mode, players need to control the Bloom nodes on the map, survive the predations of violent Bloomspawn, and construct the beacons, turrets, factories, and armories to give their Servos a strong economic foundation in battle.

Magic Origins, a new Magic: The Gathering set has now been announced by Wizards of the Coast:

 

This pivotal new set reveals the origin stories of five of Magic's most beloved Planeswalker characters.

 

"Magic Origins is a different kind of core set than we've ever done before, one with ambitious story goals and deep creative impact," says Doug Beyer, Magic's senior creative designer. "All core sets in recent years have had Planeswalker cards, but Magic Origins doesn't just contain five Planeswalkers - it's also about those Planeswalker characters. It's about certain points in time in those Planeswalkers' lives - the events that led them to become Planeswalkers - and is meant to set up a lot of our plans for Magic's future story. We'll see these characters' home worlds, learn about the joys and crises of their early lives, and discover how they became the Multiverse-traveling Planeswalkers we know today."

Stardock Entertainment has now announced a new real-time strategy game titled Ashes of the Singularity:

 

A real-time strategy game on a scale never before seen, where even the smallest units have diverse, independent weapons systems on them and every shot fired has its own targeting solution and ballistics model, Ashes of the Singularity explores entirely new and engaging gameplay fundamentals coupled with jaw-dropping visuals. With literally thousands of units acting independently on screen at the same time, players are introduced to a familiar infrastructure of real-time strategy gameplay while focusing their attention not on small engagements between a handful of units, but instead waging large-scale wars across multiple simultaneous battlefronts.

 

Ashes of the Singularity offers innovative multiplayer alongside its epic single-player campaign that tells the tale of the Singularity and complications arising from humanity's evolution away from physical form. League structures, leaderboards, stats and other features will be announced as development continues (...)

Siegecraft Commander is the latest installment in the popular Siegecraft franchise. With a combination of twitch mechanics and positional tactics, the objective is to build a fortress in a branching structure with specialised towers connected with lofty indestructible walls. Almost everything is performed by adjusting the angle and trajectory of projectiles. Fans of cult classic Moonbase Commander will appreciate the fresh look and overall improvements.
