New year, new games! For me, 2018 begins with a hopefully great expansion coming: Civilization VI's "Rise and Fall". It will be released on February 8, which coincides with me leaving my current job.

Yes, that's right! We will finally be able to play Atlas Reactor again come March 31. According to Trion, this is the last alpha test and the game will go into closed beta afterwards.

Atlas Reactor is currently in alpha and they are currently holding their "alpha sneak peek" event until February 24. Since there is no NDA for this event, I can write about my impressions. Hurrah!

Trion is hosting a live stream right now about Devilian, their upcoming game (imported from South Korea). Devilian is a persistent-world action RPG.
