Dark Diety, Turn-based Strategy RPG, Released on Steam

Developer Sword and Axe and publisher Freedom Games have released turn-based strategy RPG Dark Diety on Steam today. The game was announced yesterday. Players who buy the game during its launch week will receive a 20% discount, bringing the game's cost to $19.99. After June 22nd, it will cost $24.99.

Players will "command legendary heroes to reshape a land fractured by broken oaths, reckless wars, and secret arcane powers. The technological and cultural achievements of a once-great civilization now lie locked inside the ruins of ancient temples throughout the world of Terrazael. Long after society's mighty history is snuffed out by a powerful and mysterious "Calamity," the people of Etlan teeter on the brink of total war."

Dark Diety features 28 playable chapters, 54 character classes, 30 playable characters, in-depth character relationships, and legendary treasures to find. Mostly, it just looks like a very good classic Fire Emblem game, and that's never a bad thing.

Cyberpunk 2077 Is Coming Back to the PlayStation Store Later This Month

Last month, we reported that CD Projekt Red needed Sony's approval to bring Cyberpunk 2077 back to the PlayStation Store, but that still seemed like it would be a long way off. Well, it's happening: Cyberpunk 2077 is finally returning to the PlayStation store after being delisted from the service for more than six months. Cyberpunk 2077 originally released on December 10th, 2020 and was delisted on December 17th.

But in a statement made today, CD Projekt Red announced that Sony had approved the game for purchase in the PlayStation Store on its website. Sony has said that users playing the PS4 version of the game will likely still run into issues, however, and recommended playing it on the PS4 Pro or thee PS5. Axios first reported the news.

While the news that the game is coming back to PSN is a good thing, Cyberpunk 2077 has had its fair share of trouble. The game recently got a new director, and CD Projekt Red lost over $50 million in refunds.
