The final Hollow Knight expansion, Gods & Glory, finally has a firm release date. As the trailer above reveals, the last chapter in the Hollow Knight saga will release for PC on August 23, and according to studio Team Cherry it’ll be the largest one they’ve issued. To coincide with the release, a new album of Hollow Knight music will release, compiling all of the new music featured in the four expansions. “It’s not been said before, but Chris [Larkin] created all of the extra Hollow Knight music

Blizzard has tweaked the charging structure for World of Warcraft, meaning there are effectively no upfront fees to start playing the long-running MMO. Users were formerly required to purchase a Battle Chest for a flat, upfront fee in order to start the game, with this charge excluding ongoing monthly subscription prices. “Get access to World of Warcraft and every expansion through Legion with your subscription—no additional purchase required. But if you don’t, you’ll get access to all expansion

Today, not only is Star Citizen still in development (its Kickstarter delivery date originally suggested a late-2014 release), it’s become a radically different game. However, according to RSI, only a portion of the $4,500 Lord pledged to Star Citizen was pledged under the old terms of service. “His pledges with new money on top of his earlier pledges required him to accept the new Terms of Service,” RSI said. The Star Citizen Terms of Service have changed substantially over the years. As it sta

Keep up on all the battle royale games that have been released or are coming soon with our list of the battle royale games of 2018. First-person battle royale shooter Islands of Nyne has been around for a while: its development actually began before PUBG was even announced. lslands of Nyne entered Steam Early Access last week, and everyone playing seems to be extremely good at it already. Dying immediately is just really throwing me off my normal routine: playing a bunch of rounds and then selec

Prime Day is slowly winding to an end, and along with some great deals that are still available, there are some not so great deals that are also, unfortunately, still available. Here are the worst Prime Day deals we found.

David Gaider, you may recall, left BioWare in 2016 after 17 years with the studio. Gaider worked on multiple series in his tenure, but he’s best known for his work as lead writer on the Dragon Age games, all the way from Origins to Inquisition. A year before he left the studio, Gaider also parted ways with Dragon Age to move onto a new project. At the time, he said “it’s hard to leave Dragon Age behind,” and judging from the Dragon Age: Inquisition fanfiction Gaider just published on Medium , he

Bungie has revealed the details about the big Solstice of Heroes event coming to Destiny 2, the festival wrapping up the game’s first year, which will get underway on July 31. Visit the Statue of Heroes and you’ll be given an uncommon “Scorched” armor set at power level 240, with objectives attached to each piece that will enable it to be upgraded. The beginning of the Solstice of Heroes will also see the final five Moments of Triumph added to the game. Moments of Triumph were actually enabled o

After a slick tutorial, Scythe tucks you into a corner of its strategy map, presses a couple of coins in your hand and shouts ‘Go!’ Depending on which faction and player board you’ve been assigned, the strategy starts to set in: Do you build? For that reason, Scythe pushes refinement over creative adaptation, expertise over exploration—but just as in the board game, the achievements gently nudge players towards self-imposed unorthodoxy. This is the first board game soundtrack I’ve found myself h

The first quarter of Ubisoft’s 2018-19 fiscal year was a very good one for the company—a record-setter, in fact. Ubi reported sales of €400 million ($466 million) for the quarter, driven primarily by continued growth of digital sales and “player recurring investment” [PRI] in “digital items, DLC, season passes, subscriptions, and advertising.” The Xbox One, which barely edged out the PC last year, came in third this time around, accounting for 22 percent of sales by platform. It’s not the first

But I’d rather play X-Wing than watch the prequels. The red typography is bold, and that dramatic tagline really cuts to the core of what the game is. I love this advert because it reminds me of being really into Beavis and Butt-head in my teenage years. This advert pokes fun at other fighting games that were popular at the time, including Mortal Kombat. Night Trap (1994)This infamous FMV adventure was the focus, along with other controversial games of the era, of a congressional hearing.

I’m not sure what we’ve done to deserve this, but there’s going to be a Trogdor the Burninator board game called Trogdor! Perhaps we have pleased the gods, perhaps this is the yin and yang of the universe balancing out the existence of Warhammer 40,000 Monopoly . Either way, the game is now on Kickstarter from the creators of the original animations, who have teamed up with veteran designer James Ernest and his company Cheapass Games. is a cooperative game where 2-6 players take on the roles of

Aliens: Colonial Marines suffered from a lot of issues, including wonky enemy AI that resulted in erratic and confused Xenomorph behavior. Launching without that typo probably wouldn’t have been enough to “save” the game but it sure would’ve helped, and so to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen again, Gearbox has posted a job listing for a Programming Copy Editor. “Gearbox Software is looking for a capable and driven full-time engineer to review all code for typos,” the listing states

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has promised custom matches for some time. Today, they arrive on test servers via an open beta—and while they come free-of-charge at present, developer PUBG Corp may eventually put them behind a paywall so the system “remains sustainable long-term”. As outlined in this Steam Community update, PUBG Corp says custom matches allow players to “play PUBG your way” by customising various aspects of the game, hosting private matches, or tailoring pre-existing War and Zombi

No Man’s Sky’s NEXT update is its “largest update so far”, so reckoned developer Hello Games earlier this year. NEXT brings with it NMS’ long-requested multiplayer support, unlimited base building and, as you can see above, improved graphics. “Team up with a small team of friends and explore the universe together, or be joined by random travellers,” says Hello Games on the game’s much-anticipated multiplayer. Hello Games describes its NEXT update as an incredibly important one, but also “just an

Everything we know about Fallout 76 so far suggests it’s an online multiplayer survival game. In conversation with The Guardian, Howard says ‘survival’ takes prospective players’ minds to games that don’t necessarily reflect Fallout 76. “We avoid the word ‘survival’, because people’s minds immediately go to DayZ and Rust and certain other games, and those comparisons are not really accurate for what we’re doing,” Howard tells The Guardian. Howard explains that the idea of Fallout 76 was original

The Associated Press reports Saudi Arabia will ban a list of videogames following the alleged suicide of two children. It is thought the children had been encouraged to do so after playing the ‘Blue Whale’ social media game. As reported by the AP (via gamesindustry.biz), the Saudi General Commission for Audio-Visual Media has said it plans to ban 47 popular games—including Grand Theft Auto 5, The Witcher and Assassin’s Creed 2.
