April’s Humble Choice line-up includes Assassin’s Creed, LOTR and more

8 April 2026 at 11:00

Each month, all those with a Humble Choice subscription are able to get their hands on a solid 8 titles for the relatively low price of £11.50. For the month of April, Humble is offering a variety of games both big and small, including the likes of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla; Planet of Lana and The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.

Available to add to your library from now until the end of the month, April’s Humble Choice line-up features the following:

  • Assassin's Creed Valhalla
  • Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion
  • The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria
  • Until Then
  • Planet of Lana
  • Artisan TD
  • The Procession to Calvary
  • Buddy Simulator 1984

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla needs little introduction, with the massive and sprawling open-world action-adventure RPG launching back in 2020 to somewhat mixed reviews. While in many ways the most refined version of Ubisoft’s RPG take on the AC franchise, its abundance of content and 100+ hour-long main campaign left many fatigued by the end. Still, if you aren’t burnt out by the franchise, Valhalla does have a lot to offer.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria meanwhile is a survival crafter in which you play as a dwarf embarking “on a new adventure to reclaim their legendary home of Moria beneath the Misty Mountains”. With pretty visuals, solid survival / building mechanics and a strong dedication to the IP (including the voicing talents of John Rhys-Davies as Gimli), Return to Moria is one of the better LotR games to have been released in quite some time.

Planet of Lana is a visually gorgeous puzzle-platformer which evokes major Ghibli vibes, telling the story of a “vibrant, beautiful planet” which has been invaded by a faceless army. Featuring “unique companion-based gameplay;” stealth; puzzles and platforming, Planet of Lana is certainly worth checking out.

Between AAA giants and indie hits, April’s Humble Choice line-up offers something for everyone.

Garry’s Mod successor ‘s&box’ finally launches later this month

2 April 2026 at 08:30

Since as far back as 2017, Garry’s Mod creator Garry Newman has been working on a spiritual successor to the iconic Source Engine-based sandbox. Utilising Valve's new Source 2 Engine, Newman’s upcoming project – s&box – has now finally gotten an official release date.

Almost a decade after it was first announced (and years on from its initial closed tests) the long-awaited spiritual successor to the highly-popular Garry’s Mod is finally almost here, with the ‘game creation platform’ s&box officially launching on the 28th of April 2026.

No price has been given for the game, but considering that the original Garry’s Mod costs just £6.99 (and the fact that s&box focuses on revenue through user-generated content) expect it to be pleasantly affordable.

Garry’s Mod was a major part of Steam’s early success, with the creative platform garnering over 25 million copies sold throughout the years.

With s&box set to be everything its predecessor was and so much more, here’s to hoping that the past decade of work proves to be fruitful.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for this spiritual successor? Will it hit the same as the OG Garry’s Mod? Let us know your thoughts down below.
