143With help from Dicebreaker Head of Video and Occult Tech Support Johnny Chiodini, we summon Ghoastus the famous Roman Ghost in the studio to tell us all about what he saw. If you'd like to see what the RPS vidbuds saw and liked on Displate, you can visit our store here: https://displate.com/rockpapershotgun?art=5d947922ad0d0
Crusader Kings 3 was announced, and a Crusader Kings 3 trailer was released alongside it. Ghoastus talks about some of the details he learned, which you can also read about here: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/10/19/crusader-kings-3-is-happening-heres-ten-things-we-know-so-far/
Stellaris is getting a new expansion called Stellaris Federations, which gives the game’s diplomacy a complete makeover and allows you to form all sorts of different kinds of federations. Here’s an article on it: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/10/24/in-the-new-stellaris-expansion-you-can-turn-your-home-planet-into-a-bomb/
Acting as a spiritual successor to Surviving Mars, Surviving The Aftermath is a post-apocalyptic settlement builder, and there’s a Surviving The Aftermath trailer too. It’s also currently out in early access. Read more about it: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/10/19/surviving-the-aftermath-is-out-in-early-access-today/
Imperator Rome 1.3 will be releasing soon, bringing changes much desired by its players. This’ll be coming alongside a free content pack, Imperator Rome Punic Wars, which will revamp the character experience system and add a few new features, all for free. Here’s a write-up: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/10/29/imperator-rome-is-getting-proper-story-campaigns-and-elephant-husbandry-logistics/
Battletech Heavy Metal is a new expansion for Battletech that will be coming out on 21 November. It’s adding a bunch of new mechs and a mini-campaign. There’s a shiny new Battletech Heavy Metal trailer too.
Prison Architect Psych Ward is the first expansion for the game released since Paradox Interactive bought the game under their fold. It should be interesting to see how this expansion portrays mental health in the prison system, but look, tiny Sigmund Freuds: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/10/19/prison-architect-will-bring-an-embiggened-psych-ward-to-pc-in-november/
Ghoastus learned nothing new about Empire Of Sin, but he did manage to give it a go this time, so you can listen to what he thinks while admiring the still quite shiny Empire Of Sin trailer in the backdrop.
AOE Planetfall Revelations is the first expansion for the game, and it’s adding new campaign missions about the Es’Teq and Heritor descendents. The Es’Teq are an ancient dynasty of technocorpses, which Ghoastus likes very much.
You’ll be able to do all manner of revolutionary things in Hearts Of Iron 4 La Resistance, a new expansion for the game that’ll give you access to an Intelligence Agency and new national focuses for various countries.
Finally, the Bloodlines 2 delay. This is ultimately very good and means the game won’t be rushed like its predecessor, which we’re currently playing on the channel in anticipation, in case you’re also impatient and need some vampy goodness to sink your teeth into.
