Far Cry 5 Delayed

Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 5 has been delayed. Originally set for February 27th, 2018 the open world first person shooter will not be hitting PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC March 27th, 2018.

Ubisoft also delayed The Crew 2 in the same announcement and discussed the reason for the delay (from Gamespot):

"According to Ubisoft, this is because the publisher is "investing more time in the development" of these games. "This decision is in line with our strategic vision of developing even more engaging and higher quality experiences for gamers," said Christine Burgess-Quémard, Ubisoft's worldwide studios executive director. "Taking more time with Assassin's Creed Origins enabled our talented development team to fully express their creative vision. As expected, this had a very positive impact on the game’s quality and largely participated to its commercial success. Taking a similar approach, we have decided to invest additional development time in three upcoming games.”"

Talking to IGN, the gang from Studio MDHR confirmed that it's "guaranteed" that we'll see Cuphead again at some point. Before you get to excited though, it might be a ways off:

"But as far as what are our plans, what are we distinctly doing next, there's been zero time to really breathe or think," Jared added before Chad chimed in to note they "would have had two 30-minute chats about the future."

Debris From Moonray Studios Released - Escape Together Or Die Alone

Following along with A Mortician's Tale, our friends at Moonray Studios released Debris on Steam this week! It's also enjoying a 15% launch discount, so pick it up today!

You’re part of a small team sent to film a promotional video for a groundbreaking discovery: meteoric debris embedded deep in Arctic ice that provides clean, hyper-efficient energy. But as your dive begins, several explosions create a powerful current that drags you and your team down, trapping everyone in a vast network of submerged glacial caverns.

Escape together or die alone

Stranded at the bottom, injured and running out of time, your only hope for survival is to reach the surface. But the journey through the depths is full of unexpected trials. You and your team will fight your way through hostile creatures in increasingly confusing and dangerous environments. 

But something else is going on. Things aren’t right, they don’t add up, and before you know it the truth comes into question. As you fight your way to safety, you’ll need to figure out what’s behind this surreal world and your desperate situation. Knowing will make all the difference.

Debris is an atmospheric single-player/co-op adventure game set in beautifully dangerous underwater ice caves. You must find a way back to the surface, but power is scarce, your team is lost and unusual creatures lurk in the darkness. Debris is coming to Steam October, 2017 for PC and Mac.
