Kentucky Route Zero Act 3 out now, season pass 25% off
Chicago-based developer Cardboard Computer has launched the latest installment for its mysterious adventure game, Kentucky Route Zero. The latest episode is the third act of five, the final two of which are expected to arrive "throughout the next year or so," according to the game's site. Season passes for the game are currently 25 percent off ($18.74) through Steam and the Humble widget on Cardboard Computer's site, and will stay discounted until Tuesday, May 13. Described as a "a magical realist adventure game," Kentucky Route Zero follows the people that travel a "secret highway in the caves beneath Kentucky." The first episode launched in January 2013, one month before its arrival on Steam, followed by Act 2 in late May 2013. Cardboard Computer originally anticipated a three-month span between each episode, previously pegging its finale for January of this year. The developer earned $8,583 on Kickstarter in February 2011 to fund the game. [Image: Cardboard Computer]
Path of Exile announces Act 3 and open beta
This December, Path of Exile will be not only entering open beta but introducing its new Act 3 expansion. What's this? An expansion before the game even launches? Yeah, games are nutty like that these days, but the folks at Grinding Gear Games say that they've already raised over $1.2 million in crowd-funded support during closed beta. This new expansion will add an extra 50% of content to the game world, introducing players to the ruined city of Sarn and providing some backstory on those who exiled them to Wraeclast. PvP arena combat will also debut in a patch before Act 3 launches. You can currently pre-purchase the game when you spend as little as $10 worth on in-game credit. This will get also get you a closed beta key while you wait for open beta in December.
