Ubisoft has teased a little bit about the fourth and final season of Rainbow Six Siege Year Two, Operation White Noise, which will turn players loose high up in an observation tower in Seoul, South Korea. Perhaps even more importantly, it also confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege Year Three is on the way. Also on the way is the second GROM operator—the first, Ela, having joined up in September as part of Operation Blood Orchid. Operation White Noise will also add new weapons to the action, and presu

If you head over to Newegg, you can grab a 50cm (1.6-foot) SATA cable with locking latch for $6, with a $6 mail-in-rebate available. Well, eventually (it takes some time to process the rebate). But hey, it never hurts to have a few spare SATA cables sitting around. Reading the fine print on the rebate form (PDF), it looks like Newegg isn’t liming the rebate to just one cable (the wording is a little fuzzy, so we’re not totally sure), though you can only submit one rebate form per envelope. So te

Lian Li seems to have taken a page from Corsair with its Crystal 570X RGB chassis and designed a close facsimile, which it is calling the Alpha 550. Both cases feature four tempered glass panels and three RGB fans prominently displayed in the front, and both spice things up with lines in the front. The panels on the Alpha 550 sit more flush with the frame of the case, and there are other subtle differences that separate the two. Lian Li includes a remote control to adjust the RGB lighting on the

If Asus was challenged to go big or go home with its newest gaming laptop, it definitely chose the former. Everything about the company’s new ROG GL703 laptop is big, from its 17.3-inch display size to its $3,499 price tag. Asus equipped this laptop with a 7th generation Core i7-7820HK processor that comes overclocked “up to 4.3GHz,” which is referring to the boost clock. Here is what else Asus has to say about the cooling scheme:”The cooling fins measure just 0.1mm thin—half the thickness of re

Awesome Games Done Quick is coming back for 2018, bringing more than 130 hours of speedrunning to the Hilton Washington Dulles Airport Hotel to raise funds for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Registration to attend is closed but the whole thing will be livestreamed on Twitch, and if you’re looking for a particular game or runner to watch, the full schedule has now been posted. Speedrunning, for anyone who’s not familiar with the term, is simply the art of getting through a game as quickly as poss

HTC is still selling its Vive VR headset for $599, which is $200 more than the Oculus Rift. If taking advantage of the bundle, you’re basically paying $200 for the GeForce GTX 1070 FE. With the bundle deal in play, pricing is a wash between the two headsets, after factoring in a GeForce GTX 1070. Barring any sales or rebate offers that might be out there, $400 is about the baseline price of a GeForce GTX 1070. MSI Armor model goes for that price, while Zotac’s GeForce GTX 1070 Mini is available

Oh My Godheads is a multiplayer action game about stealing the heads of understandably angry deities and hoarding them all for yourself. Developer Titutitech describes it as a mix of capture-the-flag and “couch-based multiplayer” from the ’90s, and announced today that it’s leaving Steam Early Access and officially releasing on Tuesday, December 5. Designed to be played locally with up to four players, Oh My Godheads features two main game modes. According to Oh My Godheads’ Steam description, t

Extra Life, a charity that supports Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, becomes extra-visible once a year during its 24-hour gaming marathon event. Crytek is one of the studios taking part in this year’s event: From 10 am CET on November 4 to the same time on November 5, employees will take on games including Dark Souls, Overwatch, Cuphead, River City Ransom—and, from 2 to 4 pm and 6 to 8 pm, the studio’s own new game, Hunt: Showdown. This will be the first-ever showing of live Hunt: Showdown

When Fraser covered American Truck Simulator’s New Mexico DLC two weeks ago, he reckoned its release was “presumably close” given the fact SCS was keen to get eyes on its trailer. It appears our writer was correct: American Truck Simulator’s New Mexico DLC is due November 9. The developer adds: “Thousands miles of roads leads through urbanized areas like Albuquerque, sparsely populated trading posts, lush forests, mountain ranges and rest stops in the middle of the desert. There are many unique

Yes, liberating Egypt from evil is important, but so is looking good. You can do both in Assassin’s Creed: Origins (read our review here), because there’s a sweet-ass set of armor you can find once you’ve done a bit of legwork. Unfortunately, you can’t just stroll over to the nearest tailor and plunk down some gold for the semi-glowing set of Isu armor. To find the circles themselves, have a look at the GamesRadar+ guide to locating each of the stone circles . And hey, you look great.

Mortal Empires is, without a doubt, one of the most ambitious updates Creative Assembly has made to a Total War game. The first main caveat to Mortal Empires is that you’re going to need Warhammer 1 in order to play. If you don’t, you’re looking at an additional $60 just to enjoy Mortal Empires. The scope of the Mortal Empires campaign is daunting. The good news is that Creative Assembly is already working on porting all of those changes over to Mortal Empires.

The Norwood Suite is a wonderfully quirky first-person adventure game inspired by the likes of Twin Peaks, Gone Home and Soma. It’s the work of Off-Peak developer Cosmo D who, as a professional musician, has crafted an equally wonderful soundtrack that compliments the game’s idiosyncratic, off-the-wall style. Now, The Norwood Suite has a free demo that lets players explore the game’s introductory stages. As for the demo, it’s located on the game’s Steam page (look for the button on the right han

Last month, Team Ninja announced its one-time PS4-exclusive Nioh is coming to PC. Ahead of the action RPG’s arrival next week, the Complete Edition—which includes its three expansions—has dropped a pretty intense Steam trailer that offers a glimpse of what to expect. As per the game’s Steam page, here’s what it’s all about:Ready to die? Experience the newest brutal action game from Team NINJA and Koei Tecmo Games. Nioh: Complete Edition is due November 7 (this Tuesday).

So, we were pretty stoked to see Assassin’s Creed: Origins has a nifty photo mode. As I pointed out in my 8 things I wish I knew before playing Assassin’s Creed: Origins, I spent a lot of my time taking pictures of the various NPCs and members of the livestock community I accidentally (or deliberately) knocked over with my horse. A few examples:Image 1 of 11 Image 2 of 11 Image 3 of 11 Image 4 of 11 Image 5 of 11 Image 6 of 11 Image 7 of 11 Image 8 of 11 Image 9 of 11 Image 10 of 11 Image 11 of

Loot boxes are all the rage this season, and in every sense of the word. You can typically obtain each through in-game currencies, but most loot boxes can also be purchased using real money. Call of Duty: WWII includes its own take on loot boxes called Supply Drops that fall from the sky and burst open to shower the player with a few goodies. What loot boxes containThe contents of Call of Duty: WWII’s loot boxes are almost entirely cosmetic, rewarding gun skins, emotes, callsigns, and soldier ap

Like Chris, I enjoy checking in on prolific GTA 5 modder JulioNIB from time to time to see what he’s been up to. Last week, he uploaded a Dragon Ball work-in-progress mod that lets players fly, teleport, and Ki Blast their way around Los Santos to great effect. Off the back of his entertaining Grand Theft Auto 5 superhero mods, the Dragon Ball script mod again allows players to tear up the faux LA cityscape from land or sky, utlising a host of DB-authentic powers and moves as they go. If you fan

And when it’s done, this will be the best way to relive the Black Mesa incident. “But once they realised they were working towards the same goal, they merged and started the adventure that is now simply called Black Mesa.” The Black Mesa team doesn’t work in one office, which can make orchestrating such a huge project difficult. “I think you could argue that the main character in Half-Life is Black Mesa itself,” says Engels. Over the years, Black Mesa has attracted a lot of attention, and a larg

Back in February, Ubisoft announced it was making a documentary about the real-life drug trade in Bolivia. Originally designed as a marketing tool for Ghost Recon Wildlands, the film ultimately grew in scope and we were told it’d land on March 6 in time for the game’s launch. It didn’t, but the feature-length project, titled ‘Wildlands’, is out now some eight months down the line. Here’s a trailer:”We spoke to the people who know the drug trade better than anyone else—iconic characters, from eit

Nier Automata is a wonderful post-apocalyptic RPG whose fashion is fascinating and whose outlook is hard to define. Perhaps surprisingly, Nier Automata was originally designed exclusively for PC. In conversation with WOWJapan (via DSOGaming), producer Yosuke Saito was asked if the choice of release platforms affected the game’s design. “Actually we had planned to release the game only for PC. At the time of writing, Nier’s overall Steam review score sits at ‘Mostly Positive’ while recent reviews
