RuneScape: Dragonwilds 1.0.1 is live with save fixes
Jagex's "Eye on Ashenfall" update finally lands the promised fixes for disappearing world saves, plus a catch-up for corrupted characters that drops you back in with aggregated stats and Tier 4 gear. Jagex says a very small number of players may still hit other save issues. It also adds a "Death From Above" jump attack, new ranged perks like Ammo Recovery and Low Blow (leg shots slow enemies), and bumps the inventory from 32 to 40 slots.

Rockstar opens up about GTA 6's long development
In a Bloomberg feature, Rockstar confirmed GTA 6 started as the over-ambitious "Project Americas" and cited the difficulty of defining realism, complex AI, remote-work limits and a three-way leadership structure. It denied a reported $1.5 billion budget without giving the real number, and technical lead Phil Hooker said the new engine and tools should make future games faster. Launch is still 19 Nov.

Diablo IV patch fixes the Prime Evil quest bug
Blizzard's small update stops characters using a Splinter of a Prime Evil before finishing the Seasonal questline, which locked them out of Prime Evil Powers. Already-bugged characters aren't reset, so the workaround is to finish the questline on a new character in the same partition. It also fixes Horadric Cube rerolls for some affixes and a few boss and loot bugs.

Evil Empire's (Dead Cells) Castlevania sits at 86 on Metacritic and 85 on OpenCritic, per Polygon. GameSpot gave it 10/10 and Game Informer 9.25. IGN felt it plays more like a generic metroidvania than classic Castlevania, and The Guardian gave three stars for uneven pacing.
