Another Government Committee Recommends the Australian Interactive Games Fund Be Restored
Yet another official Australian Government committee report has recommended the restoration of the previously-axed Australian Interactive Games Fund.
Today the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training presented the findings of an investigation launched earlier this year (Inquiry into innovation and creativity: workforce for the new economy). Amongst the committee’s proposals was a recommendation that “the Australian Government introduce a funding scheme based on the former Australian Interactive Games Fund.”
Here’s Every Shadowverse: Wonderland Dreams Card
The fourth Shadowverse expansion - Wonderland Dreams - sees developer Cygames riffing on Alice in Wonderland, as well as a number of other popular fables and fairy tales. It's shaping up to be a lot of fun, with a focus on "Neutralcraft" - i.e. decks that revolve around neutral cards and cards that take advantage of or are impacted by neutral cards. It's a cool concept, as it allows the team to create new deck types for basically every class, as opposed to simply building on what has come before.
If you want to see what the set is about at a glance, you can see all 104 new cards below, ordered by class.

Halo 6 Reveal ‘Won’t Be Soon,’ Says 343 Industries
It looks like Halo 6 won't be revealed anytime soon, as 343 Industries has confirmed the studio won't be discussing the next major installment in its sci-fi shooter series "for quite some time."
In a post on Halo Waypoint, 343 Industries writer Jeff Easterling (aka GrimBrother One) addressed the absence of Halo 6 from Microsoft's E3 media briefing and dashed hopes of a potential reveal in the near future.
"While there's little to nothing that can be said on that front, it's been made clear that we won't be talking about Halo's next major title for quite some time," Easterling said. "And no, that doesn't mean Gamescom. Or PAX. Trust us, when we're ready to begin pulling back that proverbial curtain, you'll know. It won’t be soon."

Why ‘The Darkness’ Won’t Be Addressed in Destiny 2
The Darkness won't be addressed in Destiny 2 and Bungie has come forward to explain why.
Speaking to Game Informer, game director Luke Smith confirmed that while The Darkness was a mysterious term that was referenced quite often in the original Destiny, it won't be mentioned in Destiny 2.
"We've never really said what
means," Smith said. "Ultimately, we do owe our players a story there – what is The Darkness? – but that’s not this game. We wanted to remove as much of the extra terminology as possible and focus on telling the Destiny 2 story."

Atari Teases New Game Console Called Ataribox
A new Atari video game console is on the way, according to the company's CEO Fred Chesnais.
Atari has released a mysterious video teasing a brand new piece of hardware called the Ataribox. Though the video doesn't reveal much, it does suggest the console will sport some sort of wood-grain design.
In an interview with GamesBeat, Chesnais addressed the speculation and rumors, confirming Atari is indeed "back in the hardware business."
While Chesnais did not provide further details about the hardware, he did confirm the Ataribox will be based on PC technology. Chesnais also said the system's design is still not finalized and that more information about the console will be shared at a later date.
Danganronpa 3 Is Weird, Wonderful, and Prettier than Ever
At first glance, Danganronpa is pretty weird. Each game follows a new group of high school students held captive by a robot bear forcing them to kill each other in order to escape. With each new murder comes an investigation, and eventually a trial to present evidence and prove who committed the crime. With me so far? You should be.
Danganronpa is an underrated gem in PlayStation’s library of exclusives, a subversive and sardonic adventure game that mocks anime tropes while simultaneously embracing them. Its humor is dark and its grisly crime scenes are darker still, but the series also has an unexpected heart. Its portrayal of hope versus despair is mostly tongue-in-cheek but occasionally unexpectedly profound, using exaggerated characters and situations to actually send a fairly inspiring message: even when you think there’s no hope left, there might be some.
