Out of this world
It’s a bit of a surprise, to suddenly see a date onSomerville. But it’s a very welcome one.Somervillehas looked pretty striking in its appearances over the years at various showcases.
This also bolsters out the Game Pass library, which is pretty nice. While I like being able to access just about everyHaloandFalloutunder the sun, the bonus of Game Pass has been seeing projects like these get a solid bump.ImmortalityandSignalisboth hit the service at launch, and Obsidian’s upcoming historical RPG adventurePentimentis also currently set for November.
November is looking like a good time to settle it for a weekend inSomerville.
