This Halloween, the creators of Final Fantasy 14 held their 90th ‘Letter from the Producer’ live stream, giving players a first look at the upcoming Patch 7.4, titled ‘Into the Mist’. The stream revealed what’s coming in the update, including a new dungeon, a challenging trial, improvements to the game’s interface, and a significant revamp of the glamour system (character appearance customization).
Artificial intelligence has been part of video games for a while, but its applications are rapidly changing. Previously, AI was mostly used for creating non-player characters (NPCs) that followed pre-programmed instructions. Now, AI can potentially handle tasks like art creation, voiceovers, and even generate entire games. However, this increasing reliance on AI could lead to a loss of the human element, which is crucial for quality. Game developer Ubisoft is now exploring this potential with a new research project called Teammates.
The Embark team shared that they’re aiming to create a balanced PvP experience, hoping to reassure players who avoid fighting others because they’re worried about facing highly skilled opponents who always win.
The release of Hollow Knight: Silksong on September 4th was incredibly popular, even causing several online stores to temporarily crash. Within just a week, over 5 million people had started playing the game. Although being available on Xbox Game Pass helped its launch, around 3 million players actually bought the game directly on Steam.
As a big fan of Anno 117: Pax Romana, I’ve found you can usually finish the campaign in about 8 to 12 hours – most players take around 10. I’ve learned that if you focus on diplomacy, you can really speed things up! But if you prefer to go in guns blazing and take a military approach, it’ll take longer because you need to spend time building up your army to deal with the enemies.

I was surprised when the new game dropped numbered titles. Then, the early previews focused heavily on multiplayer, which reminded me of past issues with the franchise. Now, recent leaks suggest the core gameplay is shifting away from the life-simulation style that’s defined The Sims for almost twenty-five years. While each change on its own might not be a big deal, together they could drastically alter what The Sims is all about. As a longtime fan, I’m worried, and I know many other players feel the same way.
