This week in games: The blizzard hits Cities: Skylines, Warner Bros. pulls a fatality on Mortal Kombat X for PC - sargentposere

Lacking Pieces took a few weeks off because…well, I was lazy and Jan is the most tedious month for news anyway. But now we're back! From outmost space. And I just walked in to find you here with that "Tell me all the telecasting game news" take to be your face.

Very well. Ubisoft is putt contest winners in caves, WB stiffs the Personal computer edition of Mortal Kombat, and Jonathan Blow (perchance) pees in a jug—this is play news and "news" for the calendar week of January 18-22.

Wintertime wonderland

Another Cities: Skylines expansion is en route, this one subtitled "Snow." I assume the theme is self-patent.

Key to the elaboration is a new weather system, which testament be free to all players free of charge (in some form or some other). Besides snow, your cities testament also fall prey to rain and fog. The nose-nipping of Seaman Frost is the biggest issue though, necessitating a larger electrical grid (for heating) and distribution of snow plows to keep dealings flowing.

Or you could skip buying the expansion, as ever, and Be content with the insane amount of mods out there. Either direction.

Tsk tsk

Sooner this week, WB/NetherRealm announced new Deadly Kombat DLC and a new all-encompassing XL Edition. Yay!

Then Weber/NetherRealm announced that the a la mode DLC and the XL Edition will non be sexual climax to PC. Why? Hell if I do it, merely it's salt in the wound after WB released the halting semi-broken to begin with. And looks even worse after the undivided Batman: Arkham Knight thrashing.

Longer State of war

Firaxis said it was dangerous about XCOM 2's modding prospective and the studio's decided to put its words into execute prior to launch by partnering with the team that made the popular "Long War" mod for XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Apparently they'll ingest " multiple mods" forthcoming at launching on February 5.

The long delay for of import

Pining for Overwatch after its beta was taken offline in December? You'll have to hold off a bit thirster. Originally scheduled to go back this month, the beta is now laid to return in mid-February alongside "a brand-new game way."

More prison term to stick sucked into XCOM 2, I guess. Or Tomb Raider. Or The Witness. Lots o' games to fill your fourth dimension this calendar month.

The avid divide

Speaking of "Games Releasing Before long," The Division is one of those. And forwards of launch Ubisoft partnered with some YouTube channels to grow a live-action prequel series. You can catch one to a lower place:

Also in live-action Ubisoft word: The Assassin's Creed movie wrapped filming. So I dead reckoning that's really happening.

There's nary place like family

Ubisoft keeps tying Far Cry releases to ridiculous contests, and Far Cry Primal keeps the streak alive. But a good deal fewer blessed, this time. Where Far Cry 4 brought one lucky contest winner to Saddle horse Everest to make for the game at an altitude of 19,000 feet, the victor of Farther Cry Primal's contest gets to…sleep in a cave.

"Winner," I should enounce.

Sneak in pee jest at

The Witnesser went in the lead for preorder this week. It testament cost $40, which is admittedly to a higher degree virtually "indie games" price. People were shocked.

But not nearly as shocked as when Jonathan Burn out posted this tweet:

Is there micturate in that jug? Is it orchard apple tree succus? The world may never know.

Aaaaand I'll just leave you therewith. That's the end of news for the workweek. See you next Friday!
