Winter is coming early thanks to Frostpunk. The fantastic city-building, survival adventure has introduced a new expansion in the form of Fall of Winterhome, which is now available to all players who own the base game for free.
inXile Entertainment has made a bit of a name for themselves recently by breathing new life into old franchises with games like Wasteland 2 and Planescape: Torment spiritual successor Torment: Tides of Numenerra. Some may forget the game that really blasted their career off, though. The 2004 cult classic The Bard's Tale is neither sequel nor remake of the 1985 original, but kept the original's RPG concepts in mind while also borrowing from more contemporary titles like the Baldur's Gate series. In a somewhat ironic twist, inXile has returned to breathe more life The Bard's Tale franchise with The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep, a proper sequel to the original series.
Usually, our Editor of the Month is somebody who has made a significant contribution to a specific wiki over the month. This month, we recognize an editor who has made significant contributions to multiple wikis, as well as the overall Gamepedia community. MarkusRost is a dedicated admin of the German Official Minecraft Wiki as well as the Official Wynncraft Wiki. He is a member of our Gamepedia Rapid Anti-Spam Patrol (GRASP). He is the most active moderator of the Gamepedia Twitch channel. And, as if that wasn't enough, he also created Wiki-Bot, an automated search-by-chat bot for Discord, Slack, and Twitch. We caught up with our August 2018 Editor of the Month to discuss all things wiki.

With that said, it's time to dig in to what's on offer this week, because we've got some cool stuff to share!
Despite some controversy, survival shooter SCUM is lighting the Steam charts on fire in the few weeks since its Early Access launch. It's already publisher Devolver Digital's biggest launch ever, selling 250,000 copies in its first day. Tens of thousands of players are blasting each other concurrently, but the game and its popularity seem to all have come out of nowhere. So what exactly is SCUM, and what do players find so compelling about it? That's what this article is for.
Battlefield V, the upcoming World War 2 epic from DICE and EA, just held an open beta this past weekend, allowing eager fans to finally wrap their mitts around some digital weapons of yesteryear and play out the epic battles from history that are destined to eternally be retold. We took part in the battle and sunk our teeth into modes like Grand Operations and Conquest to see if this sequel could be the best yet.
Fortnite remains one of the largest games on the planet because it knows how to iterate on its own formula to switch things up — without changing things too drastically. Their Limited Time Modes are always eye-opening, and the new Getaway mode and High Stakes event are no exception.
Earth no longer enough to contain your magnitudes? Want to spend time among the stars? The voxel sandbox MMO Boundless is worth paying attention to.
