And lo, mushrooms! This is what I imagine an old timey tour guide might say while on a hiking trail, but we aren't on one of those, so get that wonderful fungi image out of your brain. No, today is the day that Mycopunk has arrived into 1.0, an online co-op looter shooter about embodying robot rejects fending off hordes challenging champignon.

The whole loop is essentially you land on a planet overrun with mushrooms, take as many of them out as you can while completing some missions, earn some mods, upgrade your setup, and head back out again. It all looks quite crunchy and punchy, calling Borderlands and Risk of Rain to mind. And with the release of 1.0 (which is half off for the time being, if you're looking to save some money), a whole bunch of bits have been added in.

Dig through an infested planet with your giant drill-city and try not to die while you do it in the roguelite city-builder CitaDrill

You've heard of the drill that will pierce the heavens, so introducing: the drill that is attached to an entire city that will pierce the earth. That's the concept for CitaDrill, a roguelite city-builder where the city is encased in a big ole dome, a larger than life drill attached to its base that you dig through an infested planet. It's a lot, of course, but it's got some lush pixel art and a demo you can try out for yourself as part of this Steam Next Fest, too. When you start things off, all you have is your humble drill, and a need to dig downwards. As you do so, drilling up different kinds of blocks nets you a range of resources, all dependent on the colour of the blocks you've crushed up. In typical city building fashion you use these to build up your domed city, with different fixtures providing various bonuses. Perhaps you add in a pressure valve to reduce a pressure buildup status, or you put up some power lines to get certain buildings and modules working. You may even decide to, uh, print a worker to get some jobs done.

Xbox Reportedly Plans To Release New Gaming Handheld In 2027 Despite Ongoing Turf Battles With Windows

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma wants to release a new handheld gaming device in 2027. That’s according to a new profile of the executive in Fortune. The plan suggests a successor to the existing Xbox Ally X manufactured by Asus, though fights over the OS apparently remain an ongoing issue. Fortune states that Sharma wants to release a “next-generation handheld device by the 2027 holiday season,” followed by the next Xbox home console in holiday 2028. Whether the Project Helix “family of devices” includes both is unclear, as is the pricing, though Fortune also reported that Project Helix Xbox consoles could cost as much as $1,800 without subsidies. Perhaps the more interesting tidbit from the article, however, is about an ongoing “turf battle” between the Xbox and Windows teams. Sharma’s team wants software optimized for gaming. The Windows team wants the handheld to use a version of Windows Home as the basis for its OS. Here’s the excerpt: Tensions ran high enough that a senior Xbox executive threatened to scrap the handheld project rather than adopt the Windows build, according to people briefed on the clash.

The Magic: The Gathering Machine Go BRRR As It Makes $600 Million In Three Months

If you thought the Magic: The Gathering money-printing machine was going to peak with last year’s record-setting Final Fantasy crossover, think again. Wizards of the Coast’s collectible card game just had another standout quarter thanks to sets like The Hobbit and Reality Fracture, leading Hasbro to report 15 percent revenue growth year-over-year. How long before they just rename the entire toy company MTG, Inc.? Wizards of the Coast reported $367 million in operating income from the quarter, the majority of which came from Magic: The Gathering. That in turn accounted for over 66 percent of Hasbro’s overall operating income last quarter. That number jumps to roughly 90 percent when you look at the last nine months. Yes, Hasbro owns everything from Hot Wheels and Transformers to Play-Doh and Peppa Pig, but that’s not where the money is coming from anymore. It’s coming from people spending hundreds of dollars on boxes of booster packs that contain cards called things like The Queen of Dale and Ajani Resolute. Wizards’ full year earnings have been buoyed even further by big licensed tie-ins like Marvel’s Avengers and the upcoming Star Trek Universes Beyond set coming in November.
