Green Man Gaming News Roundup – 07/07/2021

July has arrived and with it a summery slice of gaming news. From updates to new releases, announcements to patches, there’s been a landslide of gaming news firing out into the world over the last two weeks. So get yourself up to speed with the top info thanks to the Green Man Gaming News Roundup.

The Witcher: Blood Origin casts Michelle Yeoh

Michelle Yeoh is one of the most famous names and faces on the planet, appearing in films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Sunshine, and recently starring in her own spinoff Star Trek TV series based on her Star Trek: Discovery character. Now, she’s heading to the prequel Netflix series based on The Witcher. Announced via Twitter, she’ll be playing “Scían. The very last of her nomadic tribe of sword-elves, she is an artist with the blade, on a deadly quest that will change the fate of the Continent”. There are no additional details just yet about this series, but after the surprising quality of the first season of The Witcher, we’ll be keeping our eyes firmly on Netflix for this one.

Legacy of the Sith announced for Star Wars: The Old Republic

Star Wars: The Old Republic will be ten years old soon, which makes this writer shake with sheer age. BioWare Austin has announced via a livestream that there will be an expansion to coincide with the anniversary, titled Legacy of the Sith. Frankly, you can’t go wrong with focusing on the legendary bad guys of the Star Wars universe, and with the return of Darth Malgus, it looks like this’ll be a hefty expansion for the game’s ongoing story.

Quake Champions celebrates 25 Years of Quake

Speaking of quaking with age, the original Quake is turning 25. To celebrate this series becoming old enough to avoid using ID to buy booze in the UK, the Quake Champions Summer 2021 update will include one of the original 1996 Quake multiplayer maps: The Dark Zone. It’ll be updated from the original, but will give fans old and new plenty to enjoy.

System Shock Remake gets hefty new Gameplay Trailer

The System Shock remake dives into the terrifying depths of the Research Laboratories in this brand new 7-minute gameplay trailer. All the old favourite activities from the original game are present, from hacking to trying to stave off certain death at the hands of giant robots. It looks like Nightdive Studios are helping bring one of the seminal immersive sims bang up to date for a new generation to enjoy, and that can only be a good thing.

Horde Mode incoming for Doom Eternal

id Software has taken to Twitter to announce a few new things incoming for their explosive demon killing experience; Doom Eternal. Due to several events over the last year the planned Invasion mode will not be coming, but instead there’ll be a revamp of the game’s Battlemode and a brand new single player Horde Mode which will see you face off against the best that hell has to throw at you. It’s a shift in direction for the updates for the game, but more content is always good especially when the core game is this explosive.

BSODs to become BSODs in Windows 11

Finally this week we come to you with the shock news that BSODs are going away in Windows 11, instead it looks like they’ll be replaced with BSODs. If you’ve played on PCs for any length of time you’ll be very familiar with the Blue Screen of Death, when Windows itself crashes. Now, in Windows 11 it seems that blue is out and black is in, meaning that you’ll now have to take a quick photo of a Black Screen of Death before frantically googling what it means. 

On that crash-tastic note we’re off to forage more gaming news for you for our next instalment in two weeks. Until then, why not head on over to our Community Forum and get chatting – we’d love to hear from you.
