Ubisoft’s medieval clobbering sim For Honor is getting a new 4v4 “objective mode” called Tribute, in which teams must compete to collect “offerings” to present at one of three shrines. Each shrine with an offering will grant the entire team a buff—but only for as long as they can hold it. Shrines can boost a team’s offensive, defensive, or awareness capability, enabling teams to prioritize based on their preferred style of play. Or you can just brawl over whichever is closest at hand, if that’s

For the price of an iPhone X, you can pick up an Asus ROG desktop with an Intel Core i7-6700 processor and GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card from Newegg, and play games comfortably at 1080p. All that aside, the Asus desktop is a pretty good deal. This is an aggressive looking small form factor PC that Asus pitches as being ready for VR and 4K gaming. Connectivity consist of a headphone/mic combo port, GbE LAN, HDMI output, two USB 3.1 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and two USB 2.0 ports. Some online sto

Arctic Cooling’s new Bionix fan line and Freezer 33 Esports Edition air cooler are unique in that none of the products feature RGB lighting, a rarity these days. These fans can be found on the Arctic Cooling’s new Freezer 33 Esports Edition. Combined with offset heatpipes and included MX-4 thermal paste, Arctic Cooling says it has a cooling capacity of to 320W, though recommends topping out at 210W TDP applications.

The Rocket League Autumn Update, which will bring transparent goal posts, standardized arenas, and other good stuff to the competitive auto-soccer game, will go live on September 28, developer Psyonix revealed today. “A tournament system is something we’ve wanted for Rocket League since our launch in July 2015,” the studio said. In a similar “don’t leave the client” vein, testing will also begin on a new built-in Party System that will work through PsyNet instead of Steam, Xbox Live, or PSN. The

The developer behind the colourful co-op heist game, Monaco, has turned its attention to the RTS genre with the intention of streamlining games into quick, meaningful battles. It has single-player, multiplayer, split-screen local multiplayer, replays, and boars with flamethrowers. Matches last “5-12” minutes according to Pocketwatch, and you can play splitscreen on a couch with a gamepad, if you so desire. “Tooth and Tail is a popcorn RTS for veterans and newcomers alike.” Alternatively, there’s

HP unveiled three new models today—the Z8, Z6, and Z4. These are HP’s most powerful models to date, which is usually the case when introducing a new generation of machines, but what’s impressive is how much performance users can cram into one of these things. On the inside, there are seven full-length, full-height PCI Express slots (nine expansion slots total). It also features fewer expansion slots, though buyers can still run with dual Xeon processors and two M.2 SSDs. Finally, the Z4 is the n

Blizzard has brought forward the release of this year’s charity pet to raise funds for disaster relief around the world. For every purchase made before December 31, every cent of the $10 adoption fee will be split evenly between American Red Cross Disaster Relief and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Disaster Relief Fund. The pet itself is a playful fox “overtaken by darkness.” Once activated it will be available to all present and future characters on y

Project London aims to build a London-like city in GTA 5. The original GTA: London was set in the late ’60s, but his version is inspired by the modern city. Even then, Project London is an ambitious undertaking. While unable to commit to anything long-term, Project London is an exciting prospect. More information of the Project London work-in-progress mod can be found via its GTA 5 Mods page.

The [WotC] Overwatch Mercy Squadmate cosmetic mod adds a very convincing Mercy facsimile to XCOM 2: War of the Chosen with custom colours and wing variants. In the name of authenticity, “this mod adds Switzerland; Mercy’s country of origin.” Check the description section of the Steam Workshop page linked above for a choice of downloads and some recommended mods that help Mercy to work smoothly. Missing Packages Fix + Resource sounds like an essential one, while the Mercy Voice Pack ought to be a

The update adds new battle tactics (cards you play before a battle to inf

ThatGameCompany, the studio responsible for PlayStation exclusive titles including Journey and Flower, announced a new game earlier today. It’s called Sky and, by all appearances, it’s definitely in keeping with the spirit of Journey. Announced initially as an Apple exclusive (for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV), the studio has confirmed on Twitter that the game is a “multi-platform” game. So that means after Apple gets its precious little moment to be firsties, other platforms will get the game. The

An open source program available on GitHub called TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker is available for those who don’t want to use GeForce Experience to grab new drivers. It’s tiny and its main advantage is it consumes no system resources because all it does is open, check, download a new driver if available, and then close. If you use TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker in place of GFE, you’ll lose all the extra functionality as well as auto notifications for new drivers. TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker does not. For the past

That’s a lot of money for a smartphone, and in fact it’s enough that we can put together a complete high-end gaming PC! Wait, a “high-end gaming PC” for $999? And it’s actually more than that, as the iPhone GPU typically can’t sustain peak performance for long due to heat concerns. The GTX 1080 can handle the vast majority of games at 1440p max quality while still delivering more than 60 fps. MSI’s GTX 1080 Duke OC wins out for having a factory overclocked card at the lowest price we could find

Developers! Developers? Specifically, we’d like you to show us your recently released or upcoming indie game for a new series called the PC Gamer Indie GIF Showcase. The Showcase is your opportunity to capture and convey the essence of your game in three, and only three, GIFs. Think of this as a chance to get your #screenshotsaturday out to a larger audience and tell them (and us) about your game.

We’ve covered every other Orcish tribe that will appear in Monolith’s upcoming alt-Tolkien action game Middle-earth: Shadow of War, so in the interests of fairness I give you the Feral Tribe: “By tooth or by claw, they won’t stop until the enemy is hunted down.” But ultimately, they’re all Orcs and related nasty sorts, and they’re all quite anxious to clock you in the face with a primitive axe. Their fortress “houses beasts more fearsome than any in Mordor,” a Feral rep proclaims midway through

Modders and mod users alike have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a version of Skyrim Script Extender that is compatible with Skyrim Special Edition. The Script Extender is a mod other Skyrim mods rely on, as it expands Skyrim’s scripting capabilities and allows for added complexity and functionality. Just to say this again, however: this is an alpha build for mod authors to take a look at. Just be patient and keep your fingers crossed that we’ll see a complete and working version of the SKS

Star Wars Battlefront has been out for a couple of years now, but if you haven’t got around to picking up the season pass yet, now is the time—because right now, it is free on Origin. The season pass normally goes for $20 (or thereabouts) but is currently part of Origin’s On the House program, meaning that it’s yours if you want it at the low price of zero. Obviously you’ll need to own Star Wars Battlefront to play it, but EA will give it to you, along with a notice that you won’t be able to act

One of the challenges facing the Humble Bundle people as they release more bundles at higher frequencies is the need to name the things without becoming overly repetitive. It’s how we end up with collections like today’s Humble Capcom X Sega X Atlus Bundle: Good games, terrible title. Beating the average will also net you 50 percent off of Dawn of War 3, Street Fighter 5, one cart of “select Capcom, Sega, and Atlus games,” and 66 percent of Deadly Tower of Monsters. As always, you can direct fun
