The world ended, but the battle didn’t. In the darkness, we fought. In the ruins, we survived. And through it all, we held on to hope.

This year, we lost William 'Bill' Roberts, who portrayed Vesemir in The Witcher games. Today, we bid him a fond farewell.

You taught us, you gave advice, you cared for us. Kaer Morhen will never be the same without you. Godspeed, dear old friend. ❤️

There are no gods here, only monsters ⚔️

We're thrilled to reveal the first look at #TheWitcherIV — our upcoming single-player open-world RPG. It marks the beginning of a new saga with Ciri as a protagonist, embarking on her own journey to become a professional monster slayer.

What I love about Alan Wake 2's The Lake House DLC is its message: Art can’t be forced, copied, or automated. True creativity has soul and authenticity - AI can't replicate that.

[Kyle Rowley @TimePirateNinja]

Excited to reveal the latest Expansion for #AlanWake2 "The Lake House"! Dive into the world of Control through the lense of Alan Wake in this survival horror experience! Coming October!

This is terrific…if Eco-Futures are your thing you really should have a look…or pass it on to anyone you know who might be interested.
