Madden 19 marks the return of the long-running American football series to PC, which means my dad will finally respect my career. Here’s everything we know about Madden 19. Madden 19 will release on August 10, but the release date reads August 9 in the Origin game client. We’ll be sure to update this post as soon as we know more about Madden 19.

New players are confronted with “a mountain” of stuff to unlock, he said, and player feedback indicates that the volume of cosmetics is “overwhelming.” As a result, Ubisoft has decided to leave all of the items as they were. Your feedback has been driving the production efforts including the various features and improvements we have made,” Ubisoft community developer Eric Pope wrote on Reddit. Even if we are not proceeding, we want to share the exact plan we had mind and why these changes were g

In a round of Prismata players compete in turn-based duels familiar to players of most any competitive card game. Taking turns, they attempt to wipe out the enemy’s units like an RTS—there’s no player health like in Magic or Hearthstone. These units are produced from a pool of cards, different each game, and each card is always available to both players. Prismata reminds me of Ascension or Star Realms , deckbuilding games that force adaptive strategies from a limited pool of cards while emphasiz

Shiloni isn’t game savvy, so imagine his surprise to find a massive hamburger with bulging eyes with no one else around for miles. Durr Burger’s mascot went missing from Fortnite shortly after a rocket launch went wrong and cracked the sky over the island. The crack has been spreading since the launch, with several signs disappearing through small rifts all over the map in the lead up to Fortnite Season 5. Some players suspect that Durr Burger’s new home in the desert indicates we’ll be getting

In response to a recent wave of new cheating tactics in Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft has laid out its plans to bolster their anti-cheat efforts moving forward. Most notably, following in the footsteps of CS:GO, plans are in the works to require two-factor authentication for all players wanting to play Ranked. Reports of an increase in hackers and cheaters started boiling up in the community near the launch of Operation Para Bellum last month. Boosting refers to when players hire hackers to squad u

This morning I popped into Genesis, a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon). It’s a free to play, multiplayer fantasy text adventure you can play in your browser. After killing the rabbit, I discovered it had a lucky rabbit’s foot on its corpse (and presumably, three unlucky rabbit’s feet). Thus began my repeated attempts to acquire this lucky rabbit foot from this rabbit corpse. (And by the way, as I later learned after reading a walkthrough, the phrase I was looking for was ‘get all from corpse’.)

Img source: European ParliamentThe European Union’s Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) passed a vote last month in favor of online copyright reform legislation known as the Copyright Directive. The vote before the European Parliament proved a tougher nut to crack, however, and as reported by The Verge it was rejected by a vote of 318-278. “I regret that a majority of MEPs did not support the position which I and the Legal Affairs Committee have been advocating. Both supporters and opponents of the C

Are you looking for a compact cooler that doesn’t cost a fortune? Good news—Cooler Master’s Hyper T2 with dual heatpipes is on sale today for just $9.99. If you are not familiar with the Hyper T2, it is essentially the smaller brother to the Hyper 212 Evo, which is still one of our favorite air coolers. The Hyper T2 has fewer heatpipes than the Hyper 212 Evo, but they loop around the aluminum block for form a continuous direct contact base with your processor. You can find the Hyper T2 on sale a

Lian Li has released yet another version of its PC-O11 case. Called the PC-O11 Air, this latest variant is a high-airflow case with a bunch of fan mounts and vented panels on the front and top to help keep components cool. The PC-O11 Air sports the same multi-chamber design as the PC-O11 Dynamic, but ups the cooling ante. Lian Li includes a pair of 120mm fans to get you started. You can also find these cases in the UK at OverclockersUK for £124.99 (PC-O11 Air) and £144.95 (PC-O11 Air RGB).

The MasterBox Lite is a cunning trickster, a perceptive balance between feature and price. There is one flaw in this master plan, however, and it stems from the material used in the chassis as a whole. Cooler Master’s MasterBox Lite 5 RGB is a phenomenally priced budget box for any builder looking to construct a modern machine in a case that plays like a flagship. This article was originally published in Maximum PC issue 151 . For more quality articles about all things PC hardware, you can subsc

Yesterday, one of Dell’s TN 1080p displays dropped to just $109.99. Today, there’s an even better monitor deal: You can now get an Asus 23-inch 1080p display for just $89.99 from Newegg—and it’s IPS! The Asus VZ239H monitor has a diagonal length of 23 inches, with a viewing angle of 178 degrees. It’s not VESA-comptible, but it does use IPS (as opposed to the Dell TN monitor from yesterday). You can buy the monitor from Newegg.

Last year, Warframe partnered with Top Cow Comics to produce a crossover comic book series. We spoke to Top Cow president Matt Hawkins at the time about the publisher’s relationship with Digital Extremes, and what we might expect from the five-comic run. The story they let us tell, that we worked with Digital Extremes on, really brought out the best of that bombastic, crazy, futuristic imagery. You’ve worked alongside Digital Extremes in this process, but how difficult is it writing new stories

State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) introduced the bill (SB 822) in January in hopes of restoring net neutrality regulation on the state level. Santiago was criticized by net neutrality advocates, some of which accused him of selling out to ISPs, citing his contributions from AT&T. “After Donald Trump’s FCC obliterated net neutrality, we stepped in to protect California residents and businesses and to ensure an open internet,” Wiener said in a statement. “For months, we have worked with a

Think of a game that hasn’t been linked to the battle royale genre in the last year. Sea of Thieves has no plans to venture into last-person-standing territory as yet—but Rare would do so on its own terms, should it ever be considered. We put a Sea of Thieves spin on a familiar mechanic with new and interesting takes. We see the battle royale thing, but I think there will be opportunities to do that kind of thing differently. It’s interesting where you can take PvP in the game, but we’d want to

Last week, Slay the Spire added a third game mode and cracked one million copies sold. This week, the roguelike deck-builder adds a new Face Trader feature, five new Shop Relics and Relic Overflow Paging—the latter of which improves how multiple Relics are displayed at once. That looks like this:The new Face Trader event is described by the dev like so: “It’s a new event. New Shop Relics include the Clockwork Souvenir, Dolly’s Mirror, Meal Ticket, The Abacus and the Twisted Funnel. If you’re str

Sekiro, From Software’s next game, subverts nearly everything we’ve come to expect from Dark Souls, wrote our Steven following a lengthy hands-off demonstration at E3. The Dark Souls series—and its Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne console cousins—operate on a strict ‘learn by doing’ basis. “It also depends on that level of comfort and playability that comes with the rest of the game,” says Miyazaki. “These things generally aren’t our forte, but we do need some support, and Activision is providing th

It may feel like the hype around virtual reality has cooled—but this is a rebound year for AR and VR headsets, so reckons the International Data Corporation. Someone else still seemingly invested in virtual reality is Bethesda director Todd Howard. Speaking to Venturebeat (via Shack News) at Gamelab, Howard says he prefers virtual reality to augmented reality and is confident in the hardware’s long-term appeal. Historically, the third generation is where it starts to become popular.” Check out V

A new July patch for Quake Champions has just rolled out, and among other things it adds a new map. Dubbed Molten Falls, its as bleak and lava-filled as that name implies, with a focus on verticality, wide halls and “great lines of sight”. “The Molten Falls is a new Goroth Map hailing from the Dimension of the Doomed,” reads the update post. “Don’t let the name scare you, though – the Falls are rich with eye-catching vertical scenery, wide lanes and ample lines of sight to test your runnin’ & gu

Guild Wars 2 developer ArenaNet recently parted ways with writers Jessica Price and Peter Fries, who were involved in a contentious Twitter discussion with Guild Wars 2 Twitch streamer and YouTuber Deroir , who is also partnered with ArenaNet through its content creator program . On Tuesday, July 3, Price wrote a lengthy Twitter thread about writing for MMOs, particularly Guild Wars 2, and why player characters are uniquely difficult to write compared to protagonists in singleplayer games. In a

When Dead Island 2 was first announced in 2014, Spec Ops: The Line studio Yager was at the helm. The original Dead Island creators, Techland, went on to release a superior open world zombie adventure in Dying Light. And it turns out Dead Island 2 is still in development, according to the official Dead Island Twitter account. Appreciate the wait is painful, but Dead Island 2 is still coming.” “The team worked with enthusiasm to take Dead Island 2 to a new level of quality,” Yager CEO Timo Ullman
