Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Update Released

Fatshark has released a new free update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, titled Secrets of the Machine God, available on PC (Steam and Microsoft Store) and Xbox. This update introduces a new mission and various new weapons.
The new mission, Clandestium Gloriana, features a frozen environment where players will explore alongside a mysterious mission-giver and encounter a variable end mission event.
New weapon types include the iconic Godwyn-Branx Pattern Bolt Pistol, Ogryns’ two-handed pickaxes (Branx Mk Ia Delver’s Pickaxe, Borovian Mk III Delver’s Pickaxe, Karsolas Mk II Delver’s Pickaxe), Shockmauls (Agni Mk Ia Shock Maul, Indignatus Mk III Shock Maul) that stun enemies, and the Ironhelm “Hacker” Mk IV Assault Shotgun for close-range combat.
Players can now experience these new additions in the depths of Tertium.

Unleash Your Stacking Skills

Cybernetic Walrus, in collaboration with Meta, proudly unveils its new physics-based tower-building game, Does It Stack?, set to launch on Meta Quest 2 and 3 later this year.
Announced at Upload VR’s showcase, the game features mixed reality, local co-op, online leaderboards, daily challenges, and more.
In Does It Stack?, players stack various items to create wild towers, avoiding explosive matches when objects of the same color touch. The game’s quirky challenges, such as balancing a fish on a bowling ball, ensure fun and unpredictability. Already available on Steam and Applab, existing users will retain access to the old version, with new content arriving soon.

Key Features:

• Mixed-Reality AR Mode: Stack items in your real-world environment.
• Multiplayer and Co-op: Play with friends in VR and AR.
• Daily Challenges: Compete globally on the same stacking tasks.
• Sandbox Mode: Get creative with a vast catalog of objects.
• 60 levels with 180 challenges.
• 150 unlockable objects.

Tools:

• Recolor: Change object colors.
• Glue: Stick objects together.
• Squeezer: Stretch and squeeze objects.

Kasper Geeroms, game designer at Cybernetic Walrus, stated, “Does It Stack? is the ultimate co-op physics-based puzzle game, giving players wild, variety-filled stacking challenges to complete with their friends. It’s the perfect way to satisfy your primal stacking urge right in your living room.
And by harnessing the power of Meta Quest 2 & 3, we were able to create something that takes all the tactile physics-based suspense of classic stacking games and removes all the pesky cleanup that comes with reality!”
Prepare to stack like never before when Does It Stack? arrives on Meta Quest 2 and 3 later this year.
