Ubisoft’s mediocre Star Wars Outlaws was of course the big new Star Wars game of last year, but it wasn’t the only one to drop. A free-to-play Star Wars hero shooter also emerged on Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms, and was destined to come to PC in 2025. However, just eight months on from its initial launch, the developers of Star Wars Hunters have revealed that its next update will be its last, its servers will be shut down later in the year, and that its Steam launch is being abandoned. If you weren’t even aware of Star Wars Hunters’…
The race to grow your civilization, discover new technologies, and defend your interests is at the heart of any good 4X game, and now in Ara History Untold, that can all culminate in the nation-destroying push of a big red button.

However, before it arrives, there’s a huge new update to come which is billed to be one of the most significant in AoE 2 history.

If you were asked to name some of this year’s new games with the highest Steam scores, names like Split Fiction and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will probably spring to mind. However, unless you played the original or you’re a big Metroidvania fan, you’ll probably overlook Ender Magnolia.
