Today, THQ Nordic introduces the second hero of the “Meet the Dwarves” series, although famous actor Rodario is actually human, not a dwarf.
Not only is he the most versatile but Rodario is also the most theatrical hero of the party. With his flamethrower and other tools, Rodario avoids his enemy getting too near to him. If they still manage to come close, he makes use of his excellent acting skills and either feigns death, persuades the weak-minded to fight for him, or disguises himself as one of his opponents.
Rodario is one of 15 playable characters in The Dwarves, which will be available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on December 1st.

Techland lifts the lid on the Nano character class, making its debut in Torment: Tides of Numenera.
Nanos are the sorcerers of the game, blessed with the ability to alter reality to gain an advantage on others. Unlike the use of magic, however, Nanos have an innate ability to tap into ancient, advanced technology (known as Numenera) left by previous civilizations. As their defensive abilities are limited Nanos should be used as ranged characters where they can read the minds of their enemies, unleash a combination of ranged attacks and warp themselves (plus fellow party members) around the battlefield to gain a strategic edge.
Torment: Tides of Numenera will be available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017.
