Today, publisher Nacon and developer Big Bad Wolf shared a new developer diary for Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong that largely focuses on the game’s music. In it, composer Olivier Deriviere discusses his creative process for composing the themes of each of the heroes.

The game has a few key characters with Galeb’s sense of justice and honor, Leysha’s tenderness for her daughter, and Emem’s desire for freedom and her status as queen of the night. Nacon notes that Deriviere drew his inspiration from the background of these characters to produce a unique musical world.

Shovel Knight Dig is the latest game to have been hit by a delay. While Yacht Club Games and Nitrome were originally targeting a 2021 release, it has now been moved to 2022. A specific window beyond that has not been shared at this time.

Yacht Club said that development on Shovel Knight is going well. However, the team needs “a little more time than our initial projected release window”.

The project was announced for Switch back in August. At the time, it was originally set for a March 2022 launch. However, it will now ship sometime during the second half of 2022.
