Master Lemon is a heartwarming pixel art adventure that invites players to embark on a journey of language and memory. Inspired by true events, you play as Lemon, a polyglot with a dream of learning Icelandic, tasked with saving a distant land from a threat that devours memories and endangers the world's linguistic heritage. The game is a tribute to André Lima, a vibrant adventurer whose passion for languages and cultures knew no bounds. Set against the enchanting backdrop of Iceland, where he lived his dream, Master Lemon celebrates his legacy and the enduring bond of friendship that transcends time and loss.

In 2015, Obsidian Entertainment launched Pillars of Eternity, a party-based real-time tactical RPG. Now Obsidian is making one of the most significant changes to the game in the last 10 years by introducing a turn-based mode. And Pillars of Eternity players will be able to get their hands on it this week.

On the game's official site, Obsidian announced that the public beta for Pillars of Eternity's turn-based mode will go live on November 5. The real-time combat was inspired by the system used by the game's sequel, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire. The studio also released an announcement trailer for the new mode to demonstrate it in action.

According to Obsidian, the following real-time improvements were made after taking fan feedback from Deadfire.

Have you ever felt like sports commentators like Cris Collinsworth and Joe Davis can get a little wild on NFL and MLB broadcasts sometimes? Their real-world tangents are nothing compared to some recently uncovered voice lines for MLB Slugfest 2003.

"Enjoying some smoked whale meat up in the booth today," one of the fictional casters says mid-game. "I don't really care for it, but I can't stop eating it."

Other lines talk about players getting drunk, the commentators walking into traffic, audio engineers getting electrocuted, and even families being murdered. It's some truly unhinged stuff.

Fantastic Pixel Castle, the NetEase-owned MMO studio founded by former World of Warcraft lead system designer Greg Street, will shut down November 17.

Street announced the studio's closure date in a post on LinkedIn. In weeks prior, Street stated NetEase had pulled funding from the studio but had allowed it time to seek out a new publisher or raise funding for their fledgling MMORPG, project Ghost.

Those efforts have not panned out. Street said "there is still a chance" the studio could secure needed funding and live on, but that it will also depend on how much of the current team will choose to remain should that happen.

Just over a year ago, Sony took the drastic step of shutting down Concord and issuing refunds two weeks after its release because the game failed to find an audience. Now, Concord's demise is being used as an example of why gamers need more consumer protections during a debate in the United Kingdom's House of Lords.

As reported by Eurogamer, one MP specifically cited Concord's quick demise while arguing in favor of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

"I know the honorable members will agree that where publishers fail to make the life span of a game clear at the point of sale, they must be held accountable. That's why I welcome the strengthened consumer protections, including the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, which came into force earlier this year. This legislation rightly requires traders to provide clear, timely, and accurate information to consumers, including the longevity and functionality of digital products."

Fortnite's big crossover with The Simpsons is now live, and it brings with it a host of content themed around the longrunning animated series. Players can purchase the battle pass to unlock Homer and Stupid Sexy Flanders skins (among other cosmetics and items), but you don't have to spend anything extra to unlock a free glider based on Springfield's most famous aliens if you meet a few requirements.

As part of the collaboration, Epic and Disney are offering up the Kang and Kodos glider for people who link their MyDisney and Epic accounts by the end of February 2026. If you have Disney+, that will be the same MyDisney account for most cases. Here's how it works:

How to link MyDisney and Epic Games accounts:

1. Go to your Epic Games account
2. Click "Linked Accounts"
3. Click the link under "MyDisney"
4. Follow the prompts to link your MyDisney and Epic Games accounts

The Kang and Kodos glider.

In a FAQ, Epic explained that account-linking is not supported in all regions, so it simply might not be possible where you live, unfortunately. Another thing to note is that only one MyDisney account can be linked to an Epic Games account.

One of the recurring themes from a vocal segment of Battlefield 6 fans before and after launch was a desire to see the game free of Call of Duty-style ridiculous skins. The dev team responded by telling fans that Battlefield 6 would be "a gritty, realistic shooter." But after releasing the recent "Wicked Grin" skin, Battlefield Studios has quietly removed the light blue outfit from the lineup.

Much like an apparent orange skin and an earlier leaked skin, the response to the "Wicked Grin" outfit was largely swift and negative.

"Grounded skins for a while" - 18 days exactly

"[What do you mean?] That is classic naval camouflage, because of all that water. Just find a fountain and you are golden," wrote one Reddit user. "LMAO this is not grounded and horrible looking," added another fan. "Doesn't even look cool. What a mess."

Rapper Soulja Boy is once again trying to sell a game console, this time selling what looks to be a rebranded Retroid Pocket Flip 2 under the name SouljaGame Flip.

In a post on Instagram (spotted by Retro Dodo), the artist known for his 2007 hit song "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" can be seen showing off what appears to be a Retroid Pocket Flip 2. He said the device is actually a new SouljaGame Flip console that is "out right now" and can be bought from his website. He said it has "all the games you need," a "fast processor," and "good graphics."

Soulja Boy was originally selling "his" console for $436, over twice the $209 price the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 currently goes for on Retroid's official website. But since news began to circulate about the rebranded device and its hefty price tag, the price seems to have been slashed to $200, actually making it cheaper than buying the device directly from Retroid.
