Divinity: Original Sin is getting its big Enhanced Edition soon, and a date has finally been announced. It’s coming out on October 27th.

The game will be free if you already own the game on PC, adding a whole bunch of things including controller support which will go down well with quite a few people. The same date does apply to just more than the PC version of the Enhanced Edition (it’s also releasing on the same day for Playstation 4 and Xbox One) but it is certainly the one that will see present PC owners magically receiving the update to their game without lifting a finger (unless you manually update).

Divinity’s sequel game meanwhile has been doing pretty well, raising four times the target on its Kickstarter campaign.

Announcing backwards compatibility was always going to be a good move for Microsoft and the Xbox One. Being able to play the last console’s games on the current-gen console keep players happy and makes them more likely to get your latest piece of hardware. Now Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has put forward the idea that he’d like to get 360 games working on PC as well.

Speaking with Gizmodo Brazil, Spencer said “[Xbox games on Xbox One is] something I want to do, but it is a matter of priority. I would love to have the ability to play Xbox 360 on PC at some point too, so we have different things we have to think about when we plan these things. But it would be great to have support for original Xbox games. So yes, I want it, but we have many other things we want to do as well.”

This would mean that disced 360 games would work on your gaming rig, as well as digital editions possibly being made available for download too. Given that Microsoft were all about integration of PC and console with Windows 10, this doesn’t surprise me too much.

At the very least, if it does happen there’ll be quite a few very happy gamers.

Chaos Reborn made headlines as it had the big name of Julian Gallop behind it, and the funding came through quite swiftly and thoroughly. Now after having been out in Early Access for a while, the game will finally see full release on Steam at the end of this month.

Snapshot Games have announced that Chaos Reborn will release fully on October 26th, with version 1.0 coming with an extensive tutorila and an upgraded interface to allow new players to get into the game as quickly as possible.

Higher tier Kickstarter backers will also see their rewards fully realised at last. Wizard Lords will be able to set the equipment and spells of AI wizards defending regions in single player Realms mode, while Wizard Kings will be allowed to design their own Realms with the use of a bespoke designer tool, implementing challenges and rewards in their designs. There are also demigod and god roles to be fulfilled, allowing the divine players to bestow blessings onto members of guilds who have pledged loyalty to them. However, these rewards will not be fully implemented upon release and will take up to a further two months to be released.

The Witcher 3 is still getting patches and updates and its latest one – Patch 1.10 – is pretty hefty as far as updates go.

With a 13-page PDF of patch notes and around 600 changes, CD Projekt have clearly been busy. The main thing to note, as well as the foxes for a load of quests, is that a whole bunch of new conversation options have been added into the dialogue options for many major characters giving you the change to “enhance your relationships with them as well as the story as a whole”. The other big change is that the way items in your inventory are ordered has been completely overhauled.

The patch itself will be somewhere between 6 to 15 GB in size, which makes sense really with so many changes. There’s bound to be something in there too that will tie into the Hearts of Stone expansion that due out on Tuesday so make sure you’ve already updated if you’re planning to get it to expand your Witcher 3 experience beyond the core game’s offerings.

Shovel Knight caught our attention from the first time we saw it on a Nintendo Treehouse at a big gaming event. The game has been popular enough on Nintendo consoles that Yacht Club Games decided to release retail versions of the game.

Now however they’ve just announced that not only will the retail edition coming to PlayStation 4, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and PC (in Europe only) be delayed until October 30th in Europe and November 3rd in North America; the retail copy for the Xbox One had been cancelled altogether.

Explaining the situation on their website Yacht Club Games wrote: “The final few steps of the Plague of Shadows content took a little longer than expected, but it was important to us that this update to be on the disc/cart right out of the box. Unfortunately that meant we had to push back the date just a little a bit.” They then explained that the Xbox retail edition had been cancelled for now owing to “publishing policies on that platform that are totally beyond our control.” The digital version is still available though.

The price of the physical copy has also been raised a little, but people who pre-ordered at the original price should have their retailers honouring that original price. The decision to bump up the price was down to limited space to display wares and down to the location of where certain priced merchandise was to be displayed meaning that Shovel Knight might not have been displayed where Yacht Club Games would have liked it to have been. “We didn’t want our ‘bargain priced’ game to go straight to the bargain bin.”

Each physical version will now come with a free soundtrack download to make up for the delay and price increases, and Yacht Club Games have said that updates on the retail Vita version and the Shovel Knight Amiibo are coming soon.
