Digital Extremes, developers of free-to-play shooter Warframe has held its latest Home Devstream, offering updates on many of the announcements made in last week’s stream. Most notably, Nightwave’s long awaited Series 3, Glassmaker, is set to drop very soon.

While there isn’t a set date yet, the devs have indicated that we can expect the all-new take on Nightwave to drop within the next week. Glassmaker is currently awaiting certification approvals, but will go live once those have cleared. The new Nightwave event is an interactive murder mystery, asking the player to find the identity of the mysterious Glassmaker. For the first time, the Nightwave vignettes will be interactive, allowing players to explore.

The game’s next core update Deadlock Protocol is also in the works, featuring a new Warframe and an associated story quest. Digital Extremes’ Rebecca Ford has teased that fans of 2017’s Chains of Harrow quest are likely to enjoy Deadlock Protocol too, with the two updates sharing a lot of similar themes. While there’s still no date confirmed for its release, Deadlock Protocol is still being planned for late May, although it could see a delay into early June.

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord has pushed beta version 1.3.0 to its main servers after just under two weeks of testing, bringing with it more refinements, crash fixes and improvements in the behavior of its many AI characters.

Leading the patch notes for the new game version 1.3.0 is a collection of crash fixes, which have been the main focus of most of the patches to date. While the game has suffered from crashes and bugs since release, the developers have been working hard in conjunction with player feedback and bug reports to fix them. The new beta branch has also allowed crashes to be detected before they make it to most players’ games.

The new patch also applies yet more AI tweaks to balance out the game–lords and other NPCs have become better at managing their money, while mercenary groups in taverns have become larger and stronger.

Call of Duty: WWII developer Sledgehammer Games is ramping up. The studio’s COO, Andy Wilson, confirmed in a new interview that the developer is looking to fill 100 positions at its locations around the world as it moves to take on more responsibilities including working on two games at once.

Sledgehammer was founded in 2010 by Dead Space and EA veterans Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, both of whom have since left the studio. With Sledgehammer now entering its second decade of existence, Wilson told VentureBeat that the studio is launching an initiative called “Decade II,” and this includes hiring many more people across its offices in California and Australia.

Wilson shared that Sledgehammer has already received more than 2,000 applications for its numerous open roles in its offices in Foster City, California and Melbourne, Australia.

There are plenty of games on the horizon as we near the halfway mark of May. This episode of New Releases is great for Nintendo Switch owners, with the sharp turns of Star Wars Episode I: Racer and the smooth sounds of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix. Meanwhile, Deep Rock Galactic leaves early access, and Ion Fury gets its console release. Finally, sports fans can take a swing with Super Mega Baseball 3.

Star Wars Episode I: Racer — May 12

Available on: Switch

The racing game you might have played a long, long time ago is back. It’s got modern controls, but you’ll still be racing across the same tracks as Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba, and more. There’s no online multiplayer, unfortunately, but you can race others via splitscreen or the Switch’s LAN connection. PS4 players will sadly have to wait a bit longer, as that version of the game has been delayed.

After 12 years with Gearbox Software, audio director and composer Raison Varner has announced on Twitter that he will be moving to Obsidian Studios. Varner has worked on all of Gearbox’s flagship games over the years, as well as voicing various Borderlands psycho enemies and the Loader Bot in Tales From The Borderlands.

Varner was the music director on Borderlands 3, working with a team of composers to push the game’s soundtrack to be unique and creative, while still belonging cohesively to a single game. Under Varner’s leadership, Borderlands 3 pushed the possibilities of what a game soundtrack would do. In an interview with GameSpot, Borderlands 3 composer Jesper Kyd said the game featured “a really deep interactive music system with many layers and modular pieces that are randomly put together in-game, so the music sounds a bit different every time you play the game.”

Obsidian’s latest game The Outer Worlds launched in October 2019, with story DLC planned for an as-yet unknown date in 2020. The Nintendo Switch release of The Outer Worlds was pushed back due to coronavirus, now with a release date of June 5 2020. The future of Obsidian was made more concrete with Microsoft’s purchase of the company in 2018, with a focus on allowing the studio to make the kind of games it wants to make.
