Called the “Fellowship Sanctuary” update, it brings in the ability to play co-op online with friends in-game. The update is completely free for people who own the game, and is the final update which was mentioned in the planned roadmap the developers were following for Children of Morta. The online co-op is available in both story and Family Trails game modes. The update is currently live on Steam, though there’s no word on when other platforms can expect that to happen.

Publisher 11 bit studios has also launched a trailer for the same- check it out below.

Microsoft’s expansion of Xbox Game Pass to PC has been progressing rather well, and the service’s catalog of games has been growing on a steady basis- just recently having added Frostpunk and FTL: Faster Than Light. Now, three more indie hits will be coming to the service.

Microsoft have announced that “in the next few weeks”, Xbox Game Pass on PC will be getting Asobo Studio’s incredible narrative-driven action-adventure title A Plague Tale: Innocence; Dead Mage’s roguelike action RPG Children of Morta; and Nomada Studio’s blissful platforming adventure title Gris. 

Those are three excellent games, each a worthy addition to the Game Pass’ library. For those who haven’t tried out these titles, this is a great opportunity to do so.

Speaking of A Plague Tale: Innocence, if a recent rumour is to be a believed, a sequel might be in development at Asobo Studio. Read more on that through here.

Action RPG roguelite Children of Morta is one of the more underappreciated games of the year. And if you’ve finished it while wondering what’s next, there’s good news. Dead Mage and publisher 11 bit Studios have released a development roadmap for upcoming content updates. These include a paid expansion down the line.

Some of the free content includes the Shrine of Challenge for a tougher difficulty; new items including Charms, Divine Relics and Divine Graces; New Game Plus mode courtesy of the Setting Sun Inn; and a new playable character. Online co-op will also be coming courtesy of the Fellowship Sanctuary. There’s even a “random encounter” with the developer stating, “You’ll never know what you might find here!”

But wait, there’s more. Temple of the Endless will offer an endless onslaught of enemies, mini-bosses and a completely new boss with support for online co-op. The Treasure update will also add another 30 new items which means more Divine Graces, Divine Relics and Charms. The Uncharted Lands is the paid expansion and will feature a new quest, home event, new enemies, a new boss and another new character to play as.

No release dates have been provided but more information is likely coming in the New Year. Stay tuned for more details. Children of Morta is currently available for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch.

Dead Mage’s Children of Morta, a rogue-lite pixel game with hack and slash combat, will be releasing this September.

Six playable characters are available, each with their own unique play-styles and abilities.

Throughout each run, players will encounter different passive and active items that will confer different benefits. As you explore the world, you’ll encounter different dungeons spread across the gorgeous pixel landscape and learn more about the family in question. Stay tuned for more details en route to release.

Children of Morta is also coming to Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch this Summer, but stay tuned for a release date announcement.

11 bit Studios is bringing a whole bevvy of its releases to the Nintendo Switch. Starting with Digital Sun’s Moonlighter, which was already confirmed and now has a release window of Fall 2018, the studio will also bring This War of Mine, Dead Mage’s Children of Morta, and Pixel Crow’s Beat Cop to the platform.

Releasing in Winter 2018, This War of Mine is perhaps the studio’s most recognizable title. Taking place during the Siege of Sarajevo in the Bosnian War, the game centres around civilians attempting to survive as the city crumbles to pieces. Beat Cop will be out in Fall 2018 and sees players play as a cop trying to figure out who framed them for murder. Patrolling the streets and attempting to stop crime in Brooklyn is also part of the game.

Finally, there’s Children of Morta, which is still slated for a 2018 release on PC and arrives on Switch in early 2019. The action RPG takes place on a mountain with procedurally generated dungeons as heroes of the Bergson family fight back against various horrors. Which game are you most excited to have on Switch? Let us know below.

Did you like Nioh? Did you find yourself wondering why a setting as rich as this has not been explored in other games by other developers? Well your questions and your prayers have both been answered, as developer Dead Mage have confirmed that Tale of Ronin, a brand new Samurai RPG, will be releasing for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The game, which arises from Dead Mage’s own interest in the samurai setting, focuses on the human aspects of the fierce warriors, which is admittedly not something that many games of the very few ones that tackle the setting have ever explored. The game will blend the line between reality and fantasy, and it will have a ‘simultaneous turn based battle system.’

That’s all the information we have on the game for now, but you can check out the reveal trailer below. Does this game interest you? Make sure to let us know in the comments section.
