Footage of Arkane’s Half-Life spin-off, Ravenholm, has been posted online by Noclip, the YouTube channel known for producing some really great documentaries on games.
In the hour-long footage, you are shown the build Arkane created to show the current progress of the game to Valve. This means what you see is not a finished title, but it still offers a glimpse at what might have been.
In the game, you would have played as Lieutenant Shephard from Opposing Force, and met up with a fellow by the name of Father Gregory who took refuge in an asylum that acted as an experimentation center. The building at one time in its life featured a children’s hospital, so you would have found toys on the floor of the place, making it “a bit creepy.”
Arkane Studios’ sci-fi action game Prey will be made available on the Epic Games Store for free next week, so if you haven’t played it before, you no longer have an excuse not to try it.
In Prey, you awaken aboard Talos I, a space station orbiting the moon in the year 2032. You are the key subject of an experiment meant to alter humanity forever – but things have gone terribly wrong. The space station has been overrun by hostile aliens and you are now being hunted. In order to survive you will need to use the tools found on the station, weapons, and use your abilities.
Also free next week will be Jotun, the sort of isometric action game where you run about taking on creatures from Norse mythology. The whole thing is hand-drawn, and you will have to complete various levels and defeat jotuns (bosses), as the protagonist and disgraced warrior Thora. Your main weapon is a huge ax but you’ll quickly add a bunch of powers to your arsenal. While it is indeed an action game, the focus is more on exploration than whacking enemies, but you will find the boss fights are very challenging.

IO Interactive has announced it has delayed the release of Freelance for Hitman 3, the new roguelike mode that was originally slated for spring.
According to the studio, after some internal testing and feedback from builds played by the core community, the team decided to take some extra time to “tighten the mode up” and improve several elements to improve the gameplay experience.
Announced back in January, Freelancer introduces strategic planning and a customizable Safehouse. As you progress through Freelancer, more areas of the Safehouse can be unlocked and new customization options will become available. Here is also where your pre-mission planning will take place via access to a mission hub. You can choose which campaign to play, and after you finish one, you can go back to the Safehouse and restock, resupply, and plan your next move.
After defeating the Fell Omen, you can continue to use the Shackle to reveal hidden paths.
