  • If you’d like to kill many, many zombies, there are few better ways to do that than by playing Killing Floor 2, which remains one of our favorite wave shooters. Good news, then: we have 20 Steam keys for the full game to give away. It’ll only be used to send 20 randomly-selected winners their Steam keys, which will be distributed at the end of today, November 9. The opt-in beta for Killing Floor 2’s Twisted Christmas: Season’s Beatings event is underway, and when it fully launches it’ll add two

  • Every now and then I run into a game trailer that grabs my attention and won’t let go, even though it tells me very little about the game itself. I mean it literally looks good—the trailer is great, but I have no meaningful idea of what Cloudpunk is about or how it will play. “The whole game is very story-driven, with exploration and has no combat at all. I wouldn’t compare it to any of the flying-car classics, because it’s definitely not going to be a racing game. Cloudpunk is listed on Steam,

  • Now, according to the latest update, the final content for Early Access is coming to the game next week. Mindful of spoilers for a build-up a year in the making, Slay the Spire’s developers and its community have avoided talking openly about what that final content entails. As a bonus, the developers have been incorporating unlockable “beta” card art created by the community that you can use after you’ve beaten the game. I’d definitely play with these enabled, even though the new card art is con

  • That’s changing though, starting with the introduction of the TUF Gaming GT501. It’s fitted with two ergonomic, woven-cotton handles, rigorously tested to support up to 30kg—so it’s both easy and safe to transport your completed build,” Asus explains. Asus looks to be running with a hexagonal theme for the front panel I/O section, both for the housing and the power button. Beyond the looks, Asus says it applied a special coating to the case to prevent scratches and scuffs, in keeping with the ‘T

  • GOG’s “Made in Poland” sale features markdowns on a surprisingly large number of games that are—you might have guessed this already—made in Poland. For the next couple of days, it’s also giving away something a little different than the free games we’re used to. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Concert is a recording of a live concert performance of the orchestral and choral music from The Witcher 3 and the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions. GOG says it’s “over two hours of award-winning mus

  • AMD released a new Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.11.1 GPU driver package, and with it comes the promise of chunky performance gains in Battlefield 5 for both Radeon RX Vega 64 and Radeon RX 580 graphics cards. Battlefield 5 launched a day early on Origin Access to Premier members, who gained access to the game yesterday instead of waiting until today. In addition to focusing on Battlefield 5, the new driver is optimized for Hitman 2 and Fallout 76. AMD didn’t provide any performance claim

  • Last night Twitch was treated to a three hour stream of Fallout 76 played by uber-streamer Ninja, rapper-songwriter Logic, and Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty (both voiced by Justin Roiland and animated on-screen). In a universe with an infinite number of realities, there’s probably at least one where the stream went really well. Logic apparently didn’t do the required reading and there was a lot of time spent walking him through basic functions of Fallout 76, like how to cure his radiation poisonin

  • World of Warcraft: Classic isn’t the only place where MMOs are trying to relive the past. Lord of the Rings Online, which is only a few years younger than World of Warcraft, is also getting a bit nostalgic. Lord of the Rings Online’s Legendary servers hurl the game back 11 years, before new level caps and before the One Ring was destroyed. The first Legendary server launched yesterday, but that got busy rather quickly, prompting the creation of a second Legendary server, along with free characte

  • Battlefield 5 launched a day early for Origin Access Premier members, so some of you might be watching the above launch trailer having already poured hours into DICE’s hectic World War 2 shooter. I’m not especially handy in a Battlefield firefight, but I do love to be in the middle of them. In our Battlefield 5 review in progress, Andy confirms that it’s as messy and chaotic as ever. In the thick of a firefight, with planes screaming overhead, tanks trundling by, and sniper scopes glinting in th

  • Players have warped into the expansion’s new hub zone to find a colossal robot spider lasering everything. To be clear the hub is supposed to be a peaceful place where players chat to vendors and buy equipment. It is very much a no spider zone. Multiple players have seen the bug, though we don’t exactly know what’s causing it quite yet. These monsters, called Orbs, roam the frozen wastes of Warframe’s new open-world zone called Orb Vallis.

  • Dota 2’s Kuala Lumpur Major kicked off today, pitting 16 teams from across the world against each other for a million dollar prize pool and, arguably even more important, 15,000 Dota Pro Circuit points. That team won’t earn point for both competitions, however. They either earn points for the Minor or the Major, whichever is greater. First place in Kuala Lumpur will earn the team $350,000 and 4,950 DPC, while the any teams ending up in 13th place or below will earn $10,000 and 75DPC. Four more M

  • If you’ve got a craving for murderous, bald men or hiding from 99 people trying to hunt you, Fanatical should have you covered this weekend. Both Hitman 2 and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are on sale, so you could throw caution to the wind and do both.

  • Riot has filed several trademarks for Legends of Runeterra, covering everything from clothes to software. Runeterra is the name of the world where League of Legends takes place. Maybe Riot isn’t happy with just one successful esport. This is accompanied by another trademark for Legends of Runeterra specifically for broadcasting or streaming games. There was a wee bit of speculation at PC Gamer HQ, and I’m quite partial to Pip’s suggestion: Pokémon Snap spliced with League of Legends.

  • Star Wars: Empire at War, one of the best space games on PC, has never looked this good before. The Empire at War Remake mod has been around for years but the latest incarnation is especially swish, as you can see from the fancy Star Destroyer battle above. “This mod catapults Empire at War into 2018,” reads its ModDB summary. From now on, though, instead of incremental updates, Jeroenimo plans on waiting until the mod is fully functional and feature complete. This is also a good excuse to remem

  • J. Allen Brack, who recently succeeded Mike Morhaime as CEO of Blizzard Entertainment, said during his first earnings call in the role that Blizzard has “seen some interesting reactions” to Diablo Immortal, the mobile game that was announced to widespread disappointment at BlizzCon. But he also believes that it will prove to be “a very authentic Diablo experience” that will open the door to a much larger audience than it’s ever had previously. “I think that it’s clear that there’s a lot of playe

  • The Fallout 76 beta wrapped up today, meaning we won’t be able to play it again until the official launch on November 14. And speaking of launches, the beta sessions which usually only ran for a few hours at a time, and not even on a daily basis, still gave a few players enough time to launch a nuke. Streamer FrenchTomahawk and his friends, with the help of Twitch chat, managed to collect enough launch code fragments and then decode them to put a bird in the air. You can see the nuke splash down

  • Nonetheless, Activision said in its third quarter earning calls today that it is “not performing as well as we’d like.” We have not yet seen the full core re-engage in Destiny, which has kind of led to the underpeformance against our expectations to date.

  • Pushing a CPU to 5GHz yields mostly benchmark bragging rights when it comes to gaming, but a good graphics card overclock delivers more frames per second and does so with less hardware hassle. MSI’s venerable Afterburner is the best place to start when it comes to overclocking your graphics card. EVGA’s Precision is another excellent graphics card overclocking suite, if MSI’s Afterburner leaves you cold.
