Anthem is getting a new patch that addresses a few relatively minor issues, and Elysian Caches are going away today, meaning players who still have keys left will want to use them now. The patch doesn’t address Anthem’s loot system, at least not by doling out better items. Finally, when you’re salvaging gear at the end of an expedition, you’ll have to hold down the right mouse button instead of simply clicking—this will help prevent accidental gear breakdowns, which is nice. The other change com

A purported leak that provides details on the next Assassin’s Creed game has been making the rounds on 4chan and ResetEra for the last day or two. As some sharp-eyed ResetEra members determined, the screenshots included with the “leak” actually show assets found in the Unity Store. Image 1 of 2 Image 2 of 2Even if the forum members hadn’t unearthed this connection, there’s no escaping the fact that the supposedly leaked screenshots look really bad, especially in comparison to Assassin’s Creed: O

It’s been exciting to watch Capcom embrace the PC platform over the last year, and it’s likely played a part in the company’s recent success. Capcom posted its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year that ended March 31, and its three biggest titles all played a part in driving record results. The big titles for Capcom’s last fiscal year were, of course, Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5, and Monster Hunter: World. For Monster Hunter: World specifically, Capcom’s financial results stat

Former Claptrap voice actor David Eddings has accused Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford of physical assault, following a week of controversy regarding his absence in the forthcoming Borderlands 3. Gearbox later issued an official response claiming it “offered him an industry standard rate, but [they] were not able to reach an agreement.” Tensions have since flared, with Pitchford labelling Eddings “bitter and disgruntled” in a Tweet earlier this week. He also makes the accusation that Pitchford “sipho

It’s been a good first week for medieval multiplayer hack ‘em up Mordhau. The game has sold 500,000 copies since its launch April 29, making it a bona fide hit—which coincidentally is also the main activity in Mordhau. “As of today, Mordhau has sold just shy of 500,000 copies and we have reached a peak of 60,000 concurrent players yesterday. However, Triternion says they’ve handled the majority of the big launch issues, and they’re hard at work on the rest. For players who have missed out on gol

How do you fancy $300 off an Alienware gaming PC? Dell is currently offering a sizeable discount on the mid-tier Alienware Aurora (featuring a 9th Gen Intel Core i5 9400 processor and a GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GPU), and we’ve got a code to reduce that price even further. With the 10 percent discount you’ll find below, you can get the rig for a tidy $899.99 instead of $1200. The deal is valid until May 13 2019, so you’ve only got a week to take advantage of it. For more advice on upgrading components, ta

Lovecraft/Sherlock Holmes hybrid The Sinking City has been delayed until next month, but to tide eager fans over, Frogwares has published a new video that shows off one of the game’s early investigations. The gameplay shown in the video is more Conan Doyle than cosmic horror, with Reed tracking clues down across the city, unguided by the usual video game signposts and glowing paths pointing you in the correct direction. There are a few monsters who get in the way, but the supernatural bits reall

When you hear the phrase “Torbjörn Golf” you might get a picture in your head of the Overwatch hero using a hammer like a golf club, maybe on a golf ball, or maybe just on Wrecking Ball. Now watch the video of Torbjörn Golf, and see what it actually looks like. The player responsible for making this new mode in the Overwatch Workshop went in a different direction with the idea. Right now there’s a single 18-hole golf course you can play through along with up to 11 friends on the Overwatch PTR. T

First things first: No, these are not chairs made from the 1,000 swords that were supposedly surrendered to Aegon Targaryen during the War of Conquest. What gaming chair manufacturer Secretlab have made here to celebrate the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones is a line of three chair designs themed after the three main houses competing for the Iron Throne—the Starks, the Lannisters, and the Targaryens. You can buy your GoT-themed gaming chair in either Secretlab’s Titan or Omega variety

George Fan created Plants vs. Zombies 10 years ago. It’s only when I drew this zombie that the game truly became Plants vs. Zombies. Before this you were fighting the aliens from Insaniquarium pic.twitter.com/M7BTNfxIGOMay 5, 2019Another element that wasn’t in the original design were the sunflowers. You can also see that at one point Plants vs. Zombies would have had six lanes rather than five, and before that there were no lanes at all with more traditional tower defense mazing instead. For mo

Spleen is part-life-sim, part-2D RPG, part-commentary on the mundanity of adult life, and it’s now on Kickstarter, looking for CA$90,000 by the end of the month. Those portions all happen in the “Kid World”, a dimension that protagonist Johann is able to enter. Adventuring in the Kid World is his escape—but you’ll also control him in the Adult World too. Every decision will impact Johann’s wellbeing, and the Adult World and Kid World interact with one another. You can find cards in the Adult Wor

Epic Games is giving away a pricey Fortnite glider as an apology to players that weren’t able to view yesterday’s in-game Unvaulting event. Yesterday, the official Fortnite account tweeted that “some players were unable to witness the Unvaulting event”, and that it was investigating the extent of the problem. As an apology, Epic Games said that it would give away the Arcana Glider, worth 1,200 V-Bucks (around $12), to any player that was in the Unvaulting Playlist for the event, regardless of wh

If you thought the problem with Fallout 4 was that its characters didn’t have big enough eyes and small enough noses then here’s the mod for you. It’s called Animerace Nanakochan and it transforms Fallout 4’s women into winsome anime ladies. The mod works both on the player-character and NPCs and you can see how character creation works in the video below. You can download Animerace Nanakochan from Nexusmods. Here’s our list of the best Fallout 4 mods.

A few years ago we first told you about Duke Forces, a total conversion mod that takes Duke Nukem 3D and crams a whole heap of Star Wars inspiration into it (specifically, Star Wars: Dark Forces inspiration). It gives Duke a lightsaber, force powers, and even adds the Emperor’s floating head to taunt you when you force choke people. The latest update brings Duke Forces to version 2.10 and adds Gamorrean enemies, upscales sprites that were brought in from Dark Forces (like the stormtroopers), rep

Inside, a six vaulted items embedded within glassy columns lined the path before a massive ball of swirling energy. As players around the world smashed away, the drum gun column clearly started taking more damage than the rest. Known for dissolving walls far too easily, the drum gun was vaulted to give defensive building a chance, though that chance might have just been revoked. Epic says the drum gun won’t be in play during the Fortnite World Cup Online Open this weekend. RIP, Tilted Towers.

By 2023, there will be an estimated 354 million PC gamers playing online games in China—more than the entire population of the United States. If you’re surprised by the size of China’s PC gaming market, you shouldn’t be. What is surprising, however, is how the Chinese PC games market has remained resilient in spite of heavy government regulations. Niko Partners’ report also includes estimated revenue for Steam, which is becoming an increasingly important part of PC gaming in China. Here’s some o

Modders have brought Chell’s portal gun to Overwatch. Created with Overwatch Workshop , a new, in-game modding tool, the gun isn’t just cosmetic, either. “Lymbow and myself made a working Portal gun that conserves momentum with the @PlayOverwatch workshop!” Here, take a peek:Lymbow and myself made a working Portal gun that conserves momentum with the @PlayOverwatch workshop! #Portal #Workshop #Overwatch @AskJayne @Stylosa @ItsMeMollyO @OWCentral @YourOverwatchYT pic.twitter.com/adddxthkBdMay 3,

Last Epoch’s skill system is a brilliant evolution of Path of Exile’s labyrinthine web of upgrades and Diablo 3’s rune modifications. It wasn’t until I dug further into its skill system that I found what separates Last Epoch from Diablo and Path of Exile. With the acolyte’s skills I began to really appreciate Last Epoch’s skill customization. While I enjoyed the underlying skill and crafting systems, Last Epoch is noticeably rough around the edges. Diablo 3, Path of Exile, and Grim Dawn have had

When Borderlands 3 arrives in September, there will be a different voice behind its most iconic character, the monocular mono-wheel machine known as Claptrap. David Eddings, who voiced the robot in all the previous games (including Telltale’s Tales From the Borderlands) has been replaced by voice actor Jim Foronda over what appears to be a pay dispute. We are confident and happy with Jim Foronda as the voice of Claptrap, and we are confident our fans will be too.” I have no idea how voice actor

So that big vault unearthed beneath Loot Lake a few weeks back? Either way, unless Epic is preparing the ultimate red herring, Fortnite players will experience the next big in-game event that precedes every new Fortnite season this Saturday at 12 pm PT (3 pm ET). With every runic vehicle returned to the vault, the volcano grew more volatile and began spewing more smoke. pic.twitter.com/ccGjnO5TVNMay 3, 2019We’re not sure what Fortnite Season 9 will look like and based on how surprising previous
