When the majority of video games companies around the world closed their office doors in early 2020 due to COVID-19, not many could have foreseen that the trend towards remote working would become part of everyday life.
This was especially true for localization professionals, as publishers and developers got to grips with staff adjusting to different schedules and practices across multiple languages and regions.
All of this while keeping track of assets amid thousands of strings, aggressive timelines and complicated conversation structures.

Here are the winners from the 2021 Canadian Game Awards
Assassin s Creed Valhalla and Spiritfarer both won big at this year s CGAs
The Canadian Game Awards took place April 9th and celebrated the Canadian gaming industry. Awards went out to big AAA titles and indie games alike, and there were even some for Canadian esports players.
If it feels like it wasn’t too long ago that we had the last Canadian Game Awards (CGAs), well, you’re not wrong. The 2020 CGAs were delayed due to COVID-19 and instead of taking place in April as originally planned, the CGAs happened in September.
A new patch has launched for Dauntless, marking the arrival of a few key features for the game. First and foremost, it’s the start of the season of Infinite Radiance in the game with Primal Behemoths, the opening of rifts to different pockets and time, and the opportunity to discover unique abilities like Perfect Strike. It’s also a new dawn for War Pikes, which happen to be one of our writers’ favorite weapons.
With the launch of Dauntless Patch 1.6.0 and the new season ready to roll, we invited Phoenix Labs back to join us for some rounds of the game and conversations about new and upcoming content. We’ll thoroughly put the reworked War Pike and wound mechanic through their paces to see how they hold up with Phoenix Labs’ thoughtful changes and improvements to them.
