What we’ve been playing – “Well this is embarrassing, we’re wearing the same outfit!”
In this week's edition of Eurogamer's "What We've Been Playing" series, staff writers share the games occupying their spare time, with several team members converging unexpectedly on the same titles. The piece is a light, informal roundup rather than hard news, but it reflects notable interest in Star Wars Zero Company, a newly released tactics game, alongside other picks such as Nightreign, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and The Duskbloods.
Two writers independently spent the week playing Star Wars Zero Company, praising its combat systems (including a character called Kabb Uppercut who can knock enemies into environmental hazards for instant kills) despite acknowledging bugs and choppy PC performance. Other contributors mentioned revisiting Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, exploring FromSoftware's Nightreign, and reflecting positively on a recent closed network test for FromSoftware's upcoming The Duskbloods, while one writer teased impressions of an unnamed sequel played at Gamescom.

Star Wars Zero Company is a tactics game that has just come out, and it's one of several titles featured in this week's roundup from Eurogamer's gaming staff about what they've personally been playing in their free time. The series is a regular, informal feature rather than a news report, where different writers compare notes on games they've picked up, replayed or tested recently.
This particular edition is notable because two writers happened to choose the same new release, Star Wars Zero Company, independently of one another. Alongside it, contributors mention other titles including Nightreign, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and The Duskbloods, an upcoming game from developer FromSoftware that some writers have already tried in an early testing phase.
The piece matters mainly as a snapshot of current gaming interest and staff opinion, rather than a major industry event: it gives readers a sense of which new and existing games are drawing attention among people who follow the industry closely, including early reactions to features and technical performance.
