This press release announces Culpa Innata 2: Chaos Rising, Momentum AS' sequel to last year's cyberpunk adventure. Culpa Innata 2 features the return of Phoenix Wallis, described as a "young ambitious peace officer" in the original, and in addition to playing as the now "disillusioned yet politically naive" Wallis, the player will also take on the role of Anatoly Pavlov, "the cynical survivor of societal collapse." The game, which does not yet carry a release date, will feature over 60 NPCs, non-linear gameplay, and multiple endings. Word is: "Deeply bound by mysterious events, Anatoly and Phoenix will encounter obstacles far more challenging than ever before, testing their courage, determination and wits as they seek the truth hidden beneath the worlds that they know."

New Heroes of Might & Magic V: Tribes of the East patches are now available to update the turn-based strategy expansion to version 3.1. The patches can be found on AtomicGamer, FileFront, Gamer's Hell, and The Patches Scrolls.

Busy Jay Wilson is the subject of a Q&A on 4players.de as people can't get enough to the Blizzard designers answers to questions about Diablo III. The whole health orb deal is once again a major topic of conversation, but they also cover the uncertain status of the "horadrim" (Horadric) cube, random content, runes, and more. Meanwhile, there's a video interview with Wilson on PC Games where another German site gets to ask questions about the project (the interview is in English).

Ragnar Tørnquist On… Dreamfall & Faith on Rock, Paper, Shotgun offers the third and final part of their Q&A with the Funcom designer. One portion is a frank discussion of how Dreamfall turned out: "I don’t agree with you, but what I do agree with is that the game did not succeed with all the things we tried to do. Obviously with combat, because we struggled with it, and the way it ended up was something last-minute, and not how we wanted to do it. Looking back I would have done it very differently. I would have done it in a more adventure-type way. In a way that didn’t require reflexes. How you respond is the most important thing. But I do think the game is better than some people give it credit for. Obviously the story is the key there, and that’s the thing: the story has to work, the dialogue has to work, and the characters have to work. And everything else is gravy."
