  • Arx Fatalis remaster mod indefinitely delayed due to lack of modders - 1 July 2024

    Arkane Studios is a developer responsible for some of the biggest names in PC gaming. Dishonored, Prey, and Deathloop all come from the veteran studio, but there are a few games among its roster that have been all but forgotten. Arx Fatalis is where it all started back in 2002 and despite reviewing well, it wasn't a huge hit. Some fans have never given up on it, however, with a planned remaster and overhaul mod in the works for the game. Unfortunately it's all hit a bump in the road, with the mod being indefinitely delayed. Read the rest of the story...

  • Free games: Dishonored devs give away their very first title for a limited time - 28 May 2020

    These days, you probably know Arkane Studios as the developer behind Prey and the Dishonored series. But the studio was building immersive sims from its inception over 20 years ago, and in celebration of its latest birthday, you can now get that first game, Arx Fatalis, for free. It's part of the Arkane 20 promotion, which also includes the launch of the Arkane Outsiders community - which, in more realistic terms, is an email newsletter. Sign up for that newsletter via the official site by May 31 at 7:00 PDT / 10:00 EDT / 15:00 BST, and you'll get a free copy of Arx Fatalis, delivered through the Bethesda.net launcher. Arx Fatalis is an open-ended first-person action role-playing game - which, more succinctly, means it sits in the same vein as System Shock, Thief, and Deus Ex. Arkane's history of interest in immersive sims certainly doesn't start with Dishonored - in fact, the studio fo…

  • Arx Fatalis Source Code Released - 14 January 2011

    Over eight years after launching, Arkane Studios' RPG Arx Fatalis , has received a new patch and, more excitingly, had its source code released. Patch 1.21 improves compatibility with modern systems, which means that if you fancy poking around under the hood of Arx Fatalis, you can safely do so--without first risking your beautiful, beautiful skin attempting to remove the angry, clawing family of possums nesting there. You can find the source code on FileShack, along with the patch . The full game, meanwhile, can nowadays be bought from Steam , GOG , Direct2Drive and elsewhere for around $5. Arkane was acquired by ZeniMax Media--also owner of Bethesda, MachineGames , id Software and Tango Gameworks --in 2010. Their current project is presently a mystery. Cheers to some chap named Nick Bredon from the Bethblog for the tip-off. Read More
