Here’s the very first of RockPaperShotgun’s new weekly news liveblogs. Read more about the thinking behind them in our announcement post, if you dare.

A few PC game releases coming up this week that have our curiosity, perhaps even our attention: historical locomotive RTS Last Train Home (29th Nov), timeloop puzzler Orten Was The Case (29th Nov), first person mage 'em up Wizordum (29th Nov), futuristic Robin Hood-inspired action game Gangs of Sherwood (30th Nov), and city-building dungeon crawler SteamWorld Build (1st Dec).

This week's soundtrack is Low Roar's I'll Keep Coming, from the Death Stranding trailer.

Bloober Team have requested that people looking forward to their Silent Team 2 remake have "a bit more patience", reassuring the Hillians in a social media post that development is "progressing smoothly".
