Star Wars Outlaws' Lando DLC arrives in November alongside a Steam release, with Ubisoft's teams "fully mobilised" on "multiple" updates

After an incredibly long wait, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 finally has its first trailer, and it’s looking like an absolute doozy for fans of the series.It had been starting to look like Sonic 3 was never going to come out, given that it’s out in four months, but Paramount finally dropped a trailer for it today, showing off Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles finally working together as the ever-loveable Team Sonic. And best of all, we finally got our first look at Shadow the Hedgehog in motion – who yes, is in fact voiced by the one and only Keanu Reeves. The film essentially looks to be something of an adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2, though on this occasion Sonic and co are having to team up with Eggman to take on Shadow. Presumably that’ll all change come the end of the film, because Shadow has to hav…

Star Wars Outlaws comes out properly today, following an early access period that kicked off earlier this week for folks who’d invested in the special editions of the game. Massive Entertainment’s commemorated the occasion by putting out a hotfix for PC designed to help make your intergalactic adventure run a bit more smoothly.PC stability isn’t the only issue the studio and Ubisoft have had to address right out of the gate with Outlaws, with the latter having offered make-good items to some PS5 players who were forced to start fresh saves following the deployment of a big patch on that platform.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings A Tweet from the studio this morning cites hotfix V1.1.1 for PC as “arriving shortly” and co…

It’s a pretty hefty update, moreso than previous anniversary events. Here’s everything that’s coming!To see this content please enable targeting co…

Netflix has a new alternative history anime on the way, Leviathan, and it has some incredibly strong talent behind it.Animation studio Orange is back with a brand new 3DCG series, Leviathan, an anime that’s actually based on the 2009 novel of the same name written by Scott Westerfield and illustrated by Keither Thompson. Both the series and the book is an alternate history version of World War 1, where the Central Powers, i.e. the German Empire, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria (known as Clankers in the book) use big mechs and war machines, as well as artificially made living creatures designed for battle to fight in war. Essentially, think World War 1, but steampunk.Leviathan | Official Teaser | Netflix Watch on YouTubeYou can check the first teaser trailer for the series…

Helldivers 2’s much-hyped latest update, Patch 1.001.100, is finally here, brining with it a bunch of buffs and tweaks players have been requesting to everything from weapons, to armour, and even enemies.Arrowhead’s been busy hyping up this update by announcing some of its headline contents on a daily basis ever since it penned in today, September 17, as the date it would drop, via a blog post that also included some stuff you can expect to see in the patch. It’s still worth having a look through the full notes, though.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings You can do just that by checking out the 4000 word-ish long patch notes from Arrowhead, which run down all of the changes and fixes all in one place, using the kind of familiar format you should hopef…

It’s sounding like Dragon Age: The Veilguard is going to be the complete package, as its director has said there aren’t any plans for DLC expansions.There are many things that in the years since gaming has moved to be more internet focused that are generally quite annoying, but I think even now, DLC is one of the highest ranking. What do you mean I have to spend even more money just to play some more story? Alright, let’s ignore for the second that I did exactly that with Kingdom Hearts 3 ReMind (and how I also would have bought a Final Mix version of the game, which was also a ridiculous thing for Square Enix to do back in the day), because it’s still a bit of a wet fart when DLC completes a game.

Silent Hill is going to be on most horror fan’s brains for the next month, obviously because of the fact the hotly anticipated remake of the second game in the series is due out in a week’s time. I can’t blame anyone, I’ll be thinking about it too, I love Silent Hill 2 – it’s a classic for good reason, and I’m curious to see what the wider consensus will be of its remake. Will people reflect on the original and think “we didn’t know how good we had it”? Maybe people will say Silent Hill 2 “was always bad, actually.” Me, though, I’ll be over here thinking, “OK, can we stop talking about 2 now and start talking about Silent Hill 4: The Room?”Compared to other fans, I arrived at Silent Hill a bit late, and I did things in the wrong order too. Back in 2020, during the peak of the first lockdow…

The time is almost upon you, OG Red Dead Redemption fans, as the classic open world cowboy game is coming to PC this October.Fans have long been clamouring for a PC port of Rockstar’s 2010 modern classic Red Dead Redemption, and while there’s been plenty of rumours and speculation over the game coming to the platform, nothing has ever materialised.

VariousThere are so many ways to be a Dungeons & Dragons fan these days. The tabletop RPG mainstay has been synonymous with pen-and-paper adventuring for 50 years now, and 2024 marks a major reworking of its core rulebooks to make the game more approachable. Anyone who’s played even just a couple of sessions knows how easy it can be to covet a friend’s set of custom dice, appreciate the care a Dungeon Master has taken in setting the right ambience for a crafted campaign, or even obsess over their choice of pen and notebook — after all, it’s what you’ll be spending a large chunk of time staring into as you ponder your character’s next heroic action.But what’s amazing is that you can be a huge D&D fan without ever touching a character sheet. D&D and the Forgotten R…
