Developer Thunderful have released a trailer and a developer diary for their next game set in the genre diverse post-apocalyptic steampunk SteamWorldseries.
This one titled SteamWorld Build will focus on construction and management but also resource gathering in a more involved manner than other titles of that style.
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red have revealed that their upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion will be the studio's biggest yet.
Later clarifying that this pertains to budget suggests that it might not be their biggest in terms of geography or duration, which are two standard measures of size.
