The latest newsletter is out for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. In it, readers are informed about what the team has most recently been working away on. In January, for instance, animations have gone under the microscope as well as the foundational phases for the Faerthale zone, though not much will be revealed...yet. In addition, there is a lengthy look at the foundation of the game world itself and a Q&A with Brad McQuaid.

So there I was ... trying to maneuver around Marleybone during Sparck's community livestream last week. He's currently questing in the dark gang-infested world and I wanted to join in on the fun. Although it's nice to revisit old areas and take in all the tiny details I missed before, unexpected trips can also lead to unpleasant reunions. While on my way to Digmoore Station, I saw her. The side NPC that still irks me to this very day: Abigail Doolittle.

When v1.87 goes live in War Thunder, players will be able to take the fight to the new "Alaska" map. Alaska is considered a "rural" map, though it does involve taking a small town and its outskirts to complete. "Players will battle for control over a small Alaskan town and its immediate surroundings, fighting on wide city streets between skyscrapers in one engagement and dense evergreen forests in another," the blog reads.
