A grand adventure finally comes to a close, as today developer Owlcat Games releases the sixth and final DLC expansion for its critically acclaimed cRPG, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Out now on PC and consoles, A Dance of Masks takes players back to where it all began in a final love letter to the Knight Commander and their loyal companions. The DLC heavily focuses on the companions and the Knight Commander’s relationships with them and features fully-voiced dialogue.
Gather the Knight Commander’s companions and return to the city of Kenabres, destroyed and now rebuilt from the ashes. Partake in festival activities, celebrate your victories, socialize with friends and loved ones, watch the fireworks… and thwart the plans of villains trying to spoil the fun!
Key features of A Dance of Masks include:
A new adventure that will take you back to Kenabres and beyond, including a new enemy’s stronghold
Personal events for every companion — we’ve seen them fight, now it’s time to watch them have a day off
A new romantic event with every romanceable companion
An otherworldly arena where players can test their mettle against some truly mythic enemies
11 new character archetypes and a new weapon with the ability to switch grip from one-handed to two-handed
11 bit studios is thrilled to announce that Piotr Musiał, one of Poland’s most well-known game music composers, will be composing the soundtrack for the upcoming Frostpunk sequel. Musiał, who previously worked with the studio on This War of Mine and the original Frostpunk, is a natural fit for the new project. His portfolio also includes scores for other notable Polish titles like The Witcher 3.
Additionally, Musiał will be composing the music for another 11 bit studios game, The Alters. Unlike the grim post-apocalyptic setting of Frostpunk, The Alters features a sci-fi story with a completely different musical tone.
Fans can experience Musiał’s new compositions and play almost two hours of The Alters in an exciting demo as part of Steam Next Fest.
Diving even deeper into the post-apocalyptic abyss, Frostpunk 2 builds upon the foundations that made its predecessor a triumph. It thrusts players into a world of unyielding realities and complex social dilemmas within an ever-expanding city. With a broader scope and expansion in every aspect of the gameplay mechanics, Frostpunk 2 escalates the tension as you steer the City and its inhabitants into an uncertain future.
Much of that tension comes from introducing different factions within the City walls vying for allegiance among its citizens. Will you bend your decisions to the survivalist nature of the Icebloods, advocates of adaptation over development? Or will you side with the methodical Technocrats, champions of technological progress? Perhaps, you might even side with one of the more radicalized groups you’ll meet in-game. It’s up to you – the City’s Steward.
Both the Frostpunk 2 base game (44.99 USD / 44.99 EUR / 37.99 GBP) and the Digital Deluxe edition (74.99 USD / 74.99 EUR / 62.99 GBP) are available for pre-order today on Steam and the Microsoft Store. Additionally, the Digital Deluxe edition on Steam will be discounted by 10 percent.
The Digital Deluxe edition of the game includes:
Base game
Three paid post-release DLCs
Exclusive access to the story mode 72 hours before the official release
“Warm Flesh” digital novella, an enticing excerpt from the upcoming Frostpunk book anthology
Digital artbook & soundtrack
Mark your calendars for Frostpunk 2 as it arrives on Windows PC and on PC Game Pass on the 25th of July. Launching on consoles at a later date, the game will also be coming to Xbox Game Pass.

Today, Square Enix® debuted the LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE Reveal Livestream, detailing everything players need to know about the next entry in the award-winning narrative adventure series.
Deck Nine developers Jonathan Stauder (Game Director) and Felice Kuan (Narrative Director) were joined by host Elyse Willems (Funhaus, 30 Morbid Minutes), who interviewed them about this thrilling new adventure, including how the game is designed to appeal to both long-term fans and brand-new players. Though the reverberations of Max’s past are felt throughout this story, no previous LIFE IS STRANGE save file is needed to dive in.
In the livestream, Felice Kuan, Narrative Director, detailed further:
“We knew that this had to be something special. We also knew we had to respect the two unforgettable endings to the first chapter of Max’s story, while also crafting something new. Something fresh, that echoed and acknowledged Max’s past challenges, even as it moved her personal story forward. Welcoming in new players from the very beginning, while giving fans the story they didn’t know they wanted.”
Later in the stream, Hannah Telle (the voice of Max Caulfield) sat down for a one-on-one chat with host Elyse, detailing her emotional journey from the Max of the past to the Max of the present day:
“As Max has evolved, her powers have evolved too. She didn’t use that power for a really long time, because it creates so much devastation. So it adapted into something different. She now has this supernatural ability to move between two timelines, giving her a unique position to figure out what’s really going on with Safi’s murder.”
We also got a further look at Max’s new ability to “Shift” between two parallel timelines. Game Director, Jonathan Stauder explained:
“Max’s ability to Shift between the two timelines opens up a whole slew of gameplay possibilities. Max will navigate between different two versions of the same space, and she’ll be able to use these powers to circumnavigate puzzles and discover clues about suspects she might not otherwise have access to.”
Featuring never-before-seen in-game footage and stories from behind the scenes, the stream culminated in an extended gameplay showcase from Chapter 1, seeing protagonist Max and her friends Safi and Moses watching a meteor shower together from the roof of the Caledon Observatory. However, things soon took a strange and deadly turn…
LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE will be available on Xbox Series X|S consoles, PlayStation 5® and PC via Steam and Windows Store on Oct. 29, 2024. The game is also coming to Nintendo Switch, with further details to be announced.

Insta360 is proud to announce a major addition to its tiny mighty GO camera series: Insta360 GO 3S. The thumb-sized camera retains GO 3’s form factor while packing in several key upgrades–most notably–stunning 4K video resolution. Other improvements include a new Interval Video mode for fully automatic hands-free shooting, compatibility with the Apple Find My network to locate GO 3S if it gets lost, native waterproofing to 33ft, improved accessories, and much more.
With a rugged, magnetic body that weighs just 1.4oz (39g), wear it to shoot first-person POVs completely hands-free, or mount it anywhere with in-the-box accessories for endless creative angles that are impossible with bigger, bulkier cameras. Whether you’re traveling, hitting the trails or hanging with your kids, GO 3S offers a way to capture your life and stay in the moment.
Insta360 GO 3S is available to order worldwide from June 13, 2024, via Insta360.com, Amazon and select retailers, starting at US$399.99.
4K video and major image quality enhancements.
Still tiny, now mightier! GO 3S’s 4K30fps capture transforms its image quality, producing videos that are noticeably sharper, clearer, and crisper. Powered by an enhanced chip with 50% more CPU computing power and a new wide-angle lens, it offers double the amount of pixels compared to 2.7K. All your family memories, unforgettable trips, or creative clips, there to cherish forever in lifelike detail.
The image quality out of GO 3S has gone up a level in other areas, too:
New MegaView FOV – Gives a more realistic look with less distortion and straighter, cleaner edges.
Dolby Vision-Ready – Greater dynamic range and enhanced details thanks to this new HDR technology.
Slow Motion Upgrades – Make those highlights ultra smooth with up to 200fps at 1080p or 100fps at 2.7K.
Automatic shooting and AI editing for effortless content creation.
Imagine you could capture moments throughout your day or activity without ever touching the camera—the new Interval Video mode lets you do just that!

You get to live in the moment and have the memories to look back on and share.
Turn on GO 3S’s new Instant App Preview (iOS only) and you’ll get a notification sent to your phone when you finish shooting, ready to open and start editing with just a tap.
And if you don’t like editing or don’t have the time, try the Auto Edit function in the Insta360 app and let AI combine your clips into one epic video, on beat to music!
Hands-free POV, creative angles, and more.
Just like GO 3, capturing life with GO 3S really is effortless. The super lightweight camera makes hands-free POVs incredibly easy—simply wear it on your shirt or hat and forget it’s even there. This discreet filming setup is also great if you don’t feel comfortable using a bigger camera in public or don’t want to carry one around all day.
Mounting in classic spots like a helmet, handlebars, or on your backpack is far easier with a camera this size, and the magnetic body opens up a world of creative mounting options and angles.
The Action Pod is unchanged from GO 3 and acts as an all-in-one housing, remote control, and charger for GO 3S. Whether shooting with the camera inside the Action Pod or mounted separately, you can preview your shots on the 2.2″ flip touchscreen. The magnetic mounting mechanism fits both the camera and Action Pod, so the same accessories can be used no matter how you shoot.
From the calmest walks in the park to your energetic pups’ perspective, Insta360’s FlowState Stabilization and Horizon Lock will always keep your footage super smooth and level.
So what else is new?
With a series of useful upgrades, GO 3S offers an even smoother user experience:
Compatible with Apple Find My – Misplaced your camera? Don’t sweat it. Track it down using the Apple Find My app so you never lose your awesome footage (or camera!).
Easy Switch – Change the aspect ratio on the fly. Simply twist the camera to go from horizontal to vertical shooting in seconds.
Waterproofing to 33ft – Your tiny diving companion now goes deeper, all the way to 33ft (10m), compared to 16ft with GO 3.
AI Gesture Control – If the camera’s mounted out of reach, use hand gestures to start/stop shooting or take a photo for true convenience.
Included accessories and an all-new Quick Reader.
For truly effortless mounting, GO 3S comes with several free accessories to help you get the most from your camera, with some handy upgrades from the GO 3 versions:
Magnet Pendant – Snap on for easy first-person views. Perfect for kids to wear! Now with improved heat dissipation for a more comfortable experience.
Easy Clip – Clip on your cap or your pet’s collar for awesome angles and fresh perspectives. Here, we’ve improved the magnetic strength and even made it compatible to attach to the Magnet Pendant for customized angles.
Pivot Stand – Stick it anywhere and capture unique angles. It now works on slightly curved surfaces, with an attachment to keep the cover and base together so they don’t get lost.
Lens Guard – New curved design for better image quality.
The new multi-purpose Quick Reader allows you to rapidly back up your footage to a microSD card while charging the camera at the same time, leaving you with freed up camera memory and a boosted battery to carry on shooting! It also enables direct editing on your phone without downloading the files.
Easy editing.
Time to check out your GO 3S footage? With App Background Downloading, keep using your other phone apps as normal, and you’ll get a notification when the files are ready.
