PowerWash Simulator 2's Next DLC Will Let You Clean Up A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Take a trip to Mess Eisley this July. Hot off the back of its Adventure Time pack (which'll finally launch on Switch 2 on 29th April, after a last-minute delay ), FuturLab has today announced the second wave of DLC for PowerWash Simulator 2 .

Silent Hill 2 remakers Bloober Team are boldly going where few horror devs have gone before in Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, a "psychological thriller" starring Ro Laren
Here's one I wasn't quite expecting: Silent Hill 2 remake and Cronos: The New Dawn developers Bloober Team are working on a Star Trek game in collaboration with license owners Paramount. As you might imagine, given Bloober's pedigree, it doesn't appear to be a very uplifting Star Trek game. It is not a Star Trek game in which you would expect to have an Earl Grey teaparty on the Holodeck, with Data playing the viola. Called Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, it's a "psychological thriller" set on an uncharted planet that has become a spaceship graveyard. Something with tendrils lurks hereabouts, and it's trying to eat your mind. Read more

Self-cloning strategy game The Alters is getting a 20 hour terraforming expansion that plays with the problem of age
Self-cloning sci-fi strategy game The Alters is getting a DLC expansion in which you terraform the world of the original game, using cryosleep to fast-forward the years, even as your hard-working alternate selves age and wither. Out on 13th July, it's a 20 hour epilogue starring Jan Scientist, one of Jan Dolski's vat-grown doubles, who creates his own workforce of clones while investigating a phenomenon called "the Oasis". Over the course of the expansion, you'll build up a new underground base, populate the volcanic soils with flora and fauna, and contend with the planet's increasing hostility to your efforts. It's not quite clear from the release, but I imagine there's also a moderate risk of being dragged from your cryopod and crucified by a bunch of septuagenarian doppelgangers. Anyway, with useful irony I can't think of any more synonyms for "clone". Here's a trailer. Read more
