News Highlights: Tue 28th Aug

It's been another busy day at the news desk with plenty to get excited about.

First of all Bethesda announced the next DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Hearthfire where you will get to be creative designing your own house and maybe adopt some kids.

The folks behind Oculus Rift confirmed that free-to-play mech action shooter Hawken will support the VR device at launch.

We also learned the first details of Dead Island developer Techland's next game - Project Hell.

In the rumour section, more evidence sort of points to a North American Wii U launch on November 18. And a "Lost in Translation" moment almost saw Bethesda's Pete Hines confirm the cancellation of Prey 2, just to have it be a case of nothing new to report.

There was lots of great content on GRTV as well with Tore Blystad talking about the new Contracts mode in Hitman: Absolution and the brilliant AI that allows for it, Warren Spector on his passion for Disney and the upgrades to Epic Mickey 2, Akira Yamaoka told us about his music design and various games he has worked on and is working on, finally we have a talk on Mars: War Logs and an update from Bioware Austin's Matthew Bromberg on Star Wars: The Old Republic.

See you back tomorrow!
