Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy gameplay footage arrives via Owlcat's new trailer as the studio positions the project as a party-based, story-driven CRPG with an alpha test starting now and a long runway toward a 2026 or 2027 release window; if you want to see the tone the developers are aiming for, the most direct snapshot is Owlcat's gameplay trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, which frames the game's pitch around investigation, squad dynamics, and the broader brutality of the 40K setting rather than just spectacle.
How to follow the Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy alpha and future release-date drops is to treat official channels like patch notes: start by keeping an eye on Owlcat's social announcement for any alpha access details, build updates, or platform specifics, and then mirror the usual PC testing routine—watch for "alpha test" instructions (often via a signup form, Steam access request, or limited key distribution), keep your launcher and drivers current, and expect frequent hotfixes that can change balance, UI, and quest flow; until Owlcat confirms a firm launch date, it's safest to describe the timeline as "targeting 2026/2027" rather than locking your calendar to anything more precise.
The Light of Motiram dispute closes with a confidential settlement that removes the game from key storefronts after Sony's PlayStation side accused Tencent's project of being a Horizon-like clone, with reporting indicating the title has been delisted from Steam and the Epic Games Store; the cleanest public summary of the outcome is in VGC's report on the settlement and delisting, and it's a reminder that "inspiration vs imitation" arguments don't just play out in comment sections—they can end in real distribution consequences that instantly change whether a game is discoverable, searchable, or downloadable.
How to catch up on what Light of Motiram looked like without a store page is to use archived reveal coverage and platform tools you already know: if you missed the initial buzz, IGN's official reveal trailer for Light of Motiram is an easy reference point for the game's presentation and why comparisons sparked so quickly, and if you're checking availability, the practical step is simply verifying whether a Steam/Epic listing still resolves (or whether it redirects to an error/placeholder) because delisting typically means new downloads and wishlists are cut off; more broadly, this is the kind of case that makes "wishlist it now" and "watch the trailer while it's up" feel less like FOMO marketing and more like basic preservation in a fast-moving PC storefront ecosystem.
League of Legends remake speculation intensifies after reports of Riot planning a total overhaul that could replace the current version rather than sit alongside it as a separate product, which—if it happens—would be one of the most consequential live-service transitions in modern PC gaming; the report is discussed in IGN's write-up on Riot's alleged League overhaul and traces back to a paywalled Bloomberg piece titled "Riot Has a Secret Plan to Remake Its ‘League of Legends' Game", and even without official confirmation, the idea tracks with real pressures: aging tech stacks, evolving competitive expectations, and the constant need to modernize visuals, performance, anti-cheat measures, and onboarding without splitting the player base.
How to think about a League overhaul without getting lost in rumor is to compare it to Riot's existing "modern League" touchpoints and prepare like you would for any major patch cycle: the most approachable reference is the official League of Legends: Wild Rift gameplay trailer, which shows how Riot already reinterprets League's feel and readability on a different platform, and on the practical side you can keep your PC setup ready by maintaining free disk space, keeping the Riot Client updated, and watching for official posts that clarify whether any future shift is a "new client", an "engine upgrade", or a true replacement build; until Riot makes a direct announcement, the safest framing is "reported overhaul" rather than assuming a named "League of Legends Remake" is locked in.
