Blender 2.48 includes all the work done on the Blender Game Engine and the Apricot Open Game "Yo Frankie!", with much better functioning game logic editing, character animation, and Blender Material based real-time shaders. And as last minute surprise a Bullet physics update with Softbody support.
We also included a lot of new development in this release; Windows 64 bits support, Grease Pencil for sketching annotations, Sun/Sky/Atmosphere rendering, new modifiers, and an improved text editor with Python API support. And last but not least, an enormous list of open bug reports were handled.

"Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons remake adds little beyond updated graphics and a local co-op mode - new fans will discover a classic, fans of the original may feel short-changed."

Caveman Studio has confirmed that its battle royale, Contractors Showdown for Meta Quest is set to launch this April.
Even though it’s a Microsoft exclusive coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud, and Game Pass day one, the next chapter in Senua’s Saga is set to be one of the biggest games of the year after it releases on May 21st.
it will be such an unique experience blended with unparalleled realism, visuals and art.
May 21st can´t come soon enough.
I'm keeping my expectations low on this one because I thought the first game was mediocre at best with good-looking graphics. The gameplay had no depth in the first game and I remember doing more walking than fighting in the first game. It has the potential to win graphics of the year though.
That headline is the most unfortunate setup for a dig at Xbox, given the lack of games that have warranted even purchasing an Xbox (and that can date back to 2013). It's almost a notable Xbox game by default.
I can’t wait to play. I’m also very eager to watch Digital Foundry’s technical analysis of Hellblade 2.
Blender is one of my favorite 3D programs out there. It's free, and extremely powerful! Version 2.48 was a great improvement mostly with the new text editor. Good job Blender!
