You know what would be good right about now? Goats. Unfortunately, we don’t have any yet… but there’s not long to wait. All of us here at Coffee Stain Publishing and Coffee Stain North are very (cautiously) excited to announce that Goat Simulator 3 will be launching November 17 for Xbox Series X|S, the perfect time of year to snuggle up on the sofa and role play as a goat. In case you missed it, we announced Goat Simulator 3 back in June. It’s a direct sequel to 2014’s Goat Simulator and is set to be the grand return of no one’s favorite female protagonist, Pilgor. The new game will be a fresh take on the old farmyard-fueled mayhem players know and love, but this time you’ll be able to jump into four-person multiplayer with a whole new sandbox island to explore and destroy. All of this is waiting for you on November 17 and you can pre-order the game today on the Xbox Store to get access to a delightful (if slightly disturbing) piece of “pre-udder” gear as part of the Goat S

Hi, I’m Gareth Damian Martin, the (mostly) solo developer behind Citizen Sleeper . Today we launch Episode: Flux , the first of three free episodes that are coming to the game in the next eight months, adding new characters and locations to the game as part of an ongoing story that you can follow and affect through how you choose to play. Citizen Sleeper , if you don’t know already, is a tabletop inspired RPG where you are a sleeper, a digitized human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back. Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colorful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle. In making Citizen Sleeper I wanted to make a world that felt as open and flexible as a tabletop RPG, which is a challenge when you can’t be a GM (GM stands for Game Master, the person running the game) in the same room as players and react to th

For Honor’s newest Hero, the Medjay, will arrive in Heathmoor July 28 on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Neferkha is an Outlander, the last descendant of Pharaohs, who has traveled to Heathmoor to remove the powers of the Scarab Bracelet relic stolen by the Viking Jarl Bolthorn at the beginning of Year 6 Season 2. Bolthorn intended to use the relic’s magic to gain endless food and drink for his people, but instead, he brought home a curse that spread across Heathmoor; fortunately, the Medjay has the skills and knowledge to end it. As a Medjay, Neferkha is a resourceful fighter, equipped with a wide-reaching Fan Axe and a Dual-Wielding Axe, making him useful in group battles and one-on-one combat. The Medjay is the second Outlander to join For Honor’s roster, as well as the first Egyptian Hero in the game. Starting July 28, players can purchase the Medjay in a package that also includes an exclusive ornament, an Elite outfit, seven days of Champion Status, and three scavenger crates

Erethea, the seventh witch of eternal winter, calls out for war. To bring about the Lost Dragon’s Paradise, Drakania begins her flight of destruction! The Destroyer of Ynix has, at last, spread her wings and moves to snuff out the god-killing flame. Drakania unfurls her shackled wings and dons her new twin spears. With this new weapon, Trion, Drakania spares no one. The trusting speed of her raging wind spear, combined with the destructive power of her blazing fire spear allows Drakania to deliver devastating attacks at an even faster pace! Thanks to Erethea’s power, Drakania can also switch between different attack states. In her Hexeblood state, also considered her human form, both Trion spears are wielded to stab and slash enemies with speed and precision. While in her Dragonblood state, however, the Trion spear in her left takes the shape of a dragon’s horn to unleash more power-based attacks and defenses. Unfolding her hidden wings also allows Drakania to soar higher than ev
