For this recurring segment, we will be highlighting the five biggest stories on ModDB for the prior week. Whether it's new mod announcements, major mod releases, or important stories that affect the mod scene as a whole, you'll find them rounded up here each week.

Dark Matter is the unofficial final chapter in the Half-Life saga. Step into the boots of Kovac, an agent of the Special Black Operations unit tasked with containing the situation after the failed experiment at the Black Mesa Research Facility. When Gordon succeeds in launching the Omega satellite delivery rocket, the government becomes concerned that the HECU failed to stop the launch, and that Freeman is a major threat to the military machine and the cleanup operation itself. Your unit is deployed in order to observe the HECU forces and assist when necessary. On route to your destination, alpha unit's helicopter is caught in a portal storm and ends up crashing somewhere in the facility. You awaken several hours later, new orders have come in, the research facility has passed the point of no return. All units are to assist in delivery of the package, the final hours of the Resonance Cascade have begun...

Eviternity is a megawad comprised of six 5-map episodes (called Chapters) plus two secret maps. Eviternity's six chapters explore a series of unique and varied themes, each featuring classic gameplay with an interest in making each map hold its own unique identity and personality. The themes are "Medieval", "Techbase", "Icy Castles", "Industrial / Brutalism", "Hell / Gore / Alien" and "Heaven". This project exclusively uses OTEX, a brand new high quality texture pack by ukiro. While mostly being a "Dragonfly project", with 24 maps being made or heavily worked on by Dragonfly, we present to you a mighty lineup of well-known guest mappers who have crafted beautiful and fun levels. Since the initial release we've worked hard for an additional two months working on the now-final version of Eviternity! We hope you enjoy Eviternity, thanks for downloading & playing!

Dukeboss is proud to announce that version 2.0 of Alien Armageddon will be released on February 16, 2019. Weighing in at just over 150 MB, this small download packs a huge punch, expanding on Duke Nukem 3D with a host of new enemies, NPCs, weapons, Bombshell the playable character, and much more. Retro-shooter fans rejoice: we stay true to the style and attitude that makes Duke 3D one of the greatest shooters of all time.

The Shadow of the Ramlord is the first Amnesia Modification by Dark Craft Studios, as well as the final modification to be made by us, capping off an unofficial trilogy of Lovecraftian madness. Utilizing both Amnesia and Machine for Pigs Assets, we hope to strike a measured balance between game play, immersion and story-first narrative.
