SMITE has released it’s first god in the Japanese Pantheon, Amaterasu the Shining Light. As always, its time to jump into an Arena match and test out the new god’s abilities!

Klei Entertainment’s Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked hit Steam Early Access in December, and already it seems to be shaping up to be just as good a game as Don’t Starve was. Now the official forums have had a ‘roadmap’ published that outlines how Klei are going to build the game.

Designer Bryce Doig was the writer of the forum post, promising some new content and tweaks to come. New content itself will be added to the game every three weeks started mid-January and will continue until the end of February, after which the studio will spend time squashing the bugs out of the code as well as making sure the balance is fair.

“In the December 17th update we released Walani, but we still have three more characters to go,” writes Doig. You can also look forward to new beasties who’ll be looking to devour your survivor when extra bosses are introduced to the game. “The world in Shipwrecked has a noticeable absence of large creatures,” says Doig. “Right now, we have three new bosses planned for Shipwrecked: the Tiger Shark and two other yet to be named horrors.”

There’s even going to be a link between the island worlds of Shipwrecked and those settings from the original game, with a portal that will allow you to move between them which work very much like Caves already do in the game, unloading the current world and loading in the one you’re travelling to.

If you’re wanting to go along for the development ride, the game is on Steam now for £3.99/$4.99.

The Division is one of those games that I can’t quite remember when I first heard about it. Part of that is because a lot of gaming events tend to blur into one when you look for their trailers, and another part of that is possibly down to the delays in release it’s suffered.

However in this week’s Humble Weekly Bundle, Ubisoft seem to be trying to make some amends for the delays by offering beta keys for The Division. The pack is a bunch of Tom Clancy games, including numerous Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six games, and you can secure the beta key if you pay over the average ‘pay-what-you-want’ price of $9.58. And extra 42 cents will also secure you Splinter Cell Blacklist and Ghost Recon: Future Solder.

Of course, we don’t actually know when The Division is coming out, or when the beta will be other than sometime early this year. The money goes to charity though, so you’d be supporting a good cause even if you were sitting on a key for a little while.

The CEO of Gazillion Entertainment, the company behind the Marvel Heroes game, has announced that he is due to leave the company to work on his own projects after seven years.

David Brevik was formerly the president of Blizzard North for 11 years previously and said that he missed the game developing side of his job.

“As CEO, I spent most of my time running the company” Brevik said in the post he made on the Marvel Heroes’ forums to announce his leaving. “After doing this for several years, I really want to get back to developing games and programming. I got into this industry to make games and I miss the day-to-day creation process.”

He said that the decision to leave had been tough to make as he loved Marvel Heroes and while he’ll still be playing the game and streaming it he’s “going back to doing the things I love most: programming and making games.”

On the subject of Marvel Heroes’ future and the big 2016 update next month Brevik is confident that the Gazillion team have it handled suitably. “We have an incredibly talented staff here, and I know the game is in great hands, I believe in the future of the game and I know a lot of amazing things that are being worked on.”

So, a few days ago a studio called Lazy Bear Games started up a Twitch channel for their upcoming punch-em-up game, Punch Club. It was called TwitchPlaysPunchClub in that tradition of TwitchPlays channels.

While TwitchPlay channels are nothing new, the first being TwitchPlaysPokemon and having since moved onto other games, there was a purpose behind this TwitchPlays channel. Until the Twitch community completed Punch Club, Lazy Bear Games wouldn’t actually release the game… well, until January 25th at least. Whichever came first would set the game’s release date. The game’s page on Steam even listed the release date as “When Twitch beats it”. Seriously.

Expectations were set at a week, but the Twitch community obviously loves a challenge, because after just 36 hours the game was beaten. Which means Punch Club is now available on Steam to buy. It’s a game about doing all the right things (training, eating, resting etc.) to ensure you become the best boxer ever, working your way up the ranks.

Using the TwitchPlays craze to essentially promote the game was quite a bold move by Lazy Bear Games, but it seems to have paid off if the time taken to beat it verses the expected time is any indication. If you’re interested, you can find it on Steam now for £7/$10.
