About a year ago, publisher Fulqrum and developer Dreamate unveiled New Arc Line, a new cRPG set in a setting that mixes steampunk with magic and fantasy. Its premise and features have intrigued me from the get-go, so I was very interested in checking it out at Gamescom 2024. It was originally billed as a hands-on demo, but it turned out to be a presentation. Still, I learned quite a few new things about the game, which is still slated to launch before the end of the year on PC (the console versions may come later, as you'll read below). […]
Did you know that a triple-A Fallout cRPG from Larian could have happened if the studio hadn't obtained the Baldur's Gate license from Wizards of the Coast? Larian CEO Swen Vincke revealed as much in a retrospective interview on the making of Baldur's Gate 3 published in the latest EDGE Magazine (issue #400). It’s [editor's note: Baldur's Gate] one of those IPs that you know a lot of people will want to work on, so it would be great for attracting other people to the studio. I felt like there was a glass ceiling that we wouldn’t be able to […]
To cap off a memorable 2023 for RPG fans, Owlcat Games (Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous) released Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, the first-ever cRPG based on the beloved setting invented by Games Workshop, last December.

While the game by Owlcat doesn't have the wide appeal […]
The Warhammer 40,000 universe is among the best-realized settings ever, one that is ripe with stories to tell. As such, it is not surprising to see so many games based on the futuristic universe created by Games Workshop. Very few of these, however, are full-fledged RPGs, which is, honestly, not that surprising considering the deep and intricate lore that makes creating a role-playing game based on it an extremely difficult task for most game development studios. Owlcat Games, the studio behind the Pathfinder series, however, rose up to the challenge with Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, a solid cRPG with tactical […]
Following the multiple wins at the Golden Joysticks Awards, where Baldur's Gate 3 snatched seven prizes (Best Storytelling, Best Visual Design, Studio Of The Year, Best Game Community, Best Supporting Performer for Astarion's voice actor, PC Game Of The Year, and Ultimate Game Of The Year), Game Director Swen Vincke spoke to Gamesradar about the win. The CEO of Larian Studios expressed hope that the success of Baldur's Gate 3 could fuel more interest in the cRPG genre going forward. We've always been very focused on just making our game, and a lot of people have attached a lot of […]
