Gamigo cancels Grimlands development
We hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially if you're a fellow post-apocalyptic shooter fan, but gamigo's upcoming Grimlands title is no longer upcoming. The latest we-hardly-knew-ye F2P flameout was apparently pretty far from prime time despite a public beta late last year. A terse gamigo press release states that "the game still requires substantial additional funds to be brought to completion." [Source: Gamigo press release]
Join Bungie's ARG and work toward possible Destiny reveal
Not a lot of concrete information is floating around about Destiny, an upcoming game by Bungie. We do know more will be revealed at GDC next month, but a new ARG on the Halo creator's website hints that more may be revealed even sooner. How soon? Possibly next Monday: A row of numbers splayed across the top counts down from seven, and clicking on the next descending number each day changes the displayed weekday. After the first task, the ARG appears to require the efforts of multiple players to solve; the second puzzle spells out "alone will not be enough." So if you want to get in on unlocking the mysteries of the ARG, study the second puzzle's clue after the break and head over to Bungie to add your contributions to the mix.
Get into Grimlands' second closed beta starting today
Guess what? Grimlands' second closed beta phase is here, but it only lasts through Wednesday, December 5th! The post-apocalyptic shooter now features a total of 23 dungeons, as well as more mercenaries and mutants. Publisher gamigo says that Grimlands is also sporting an overhauled UI, "substantially more intelligent opponents, a reworked shooter feeling, and improved graphic effects." This beta phase has room for 10,000 testers, and you can download the client by registering on the game's official website. You can also get a look at the official CBT2 trailer after the cut.
