In the lead up to Minecon Live, Mojang has announced plans to update three Minecraft biomes. Swamp, Mountains and Badlands are all scheduled to get updates, with “new mobs, features and mechanics” to be added. This vote will take place live on September 28 during Minecon Live, which is a special Minecraft livestream. And don’t fret: all three will inevitably get an update – this vote is just to determine which comes first. It’ll no doubt attract a healthy audience: apparently the game attracts m

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is now halfway through its introduction of Seattle’s undead factions. The Baron apparently runs Seattle’s criminal underworld, but he’s rarely seen. You’ll be able to take work from all the factions of Seattle, manipulate them into fighting each other or pledge allegiance to one. If you work for the Baron, expect to rise through the ranks quickly, though Hardsuit Labs warns that the jobs won’t be very glamorous. It’s certainly not where you’d expect to find

(Image credit: Gigabyte)Gigabyte has introduced what it claims is the “world’s first tactical” gaming monitor, the Aorus CV27Q. This is also a FreeSync 2 HDR display, so it can match the refresh rate to your supported Radeon GPU for smoother gameplay. “Using an exclusive IC design with microphone array, the ANC feature cancels the ambient noise making the communication with your teammates much better than before. The upgraded ANC 2.0 provides 120 dB signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and supports high

Subnautica sequel Below Zero, which is in early access on Steam and the Epic Store, now includes an above-zero chance of encountering a leviathan-class Ice Worm. It takes a very large worm to earn the ‘leviathan’ descriptor, and from the looks of the trailer above, our new friend doesn’t disappoint. The extra large worm can be found in the new Arctic Spires area, not that it’s a good idea to actively seek it out. Other areas added in the update are the Lilypad Islands, where Lily Paddlers roam (

The H500 (and the H500i variant) is one of the best PC cases for many reasons. Additionally, the H500i case has two vertical mount GPU slots, although riser cards are not included with the case; NZXT recommends using a riser card with a 30cm length. H500 vs H500i: Which one should you buy? If you are indifferent about RGB lighting and want to stick to the smallest budget possible, of course go with the H500. It’s worth noting that if you opt for the H500, you can still install lighting on your o

(Image credit: Activision)Game bundles are popular when it comes to buying a graphics card, and the latest offer has Nvidia and Activision teaming up to include a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with the purchase of a qualifying GeForce RTX series GPU. This is not a retroactive offer, unfortunately—if you just recently purchased an RTX card, you’re out of luck (as far as the bundle goes). You’re looking at the following models:GeForce RTX 2080 TiGeForce RTX 2080 SuperGeForce RTX 2080GeForce

A Fortnite dataminer has uncovered a pair of new skins heading to the battle royale, including one that’s almost certainly been designed to celebrate the brave storming of Area 51 that’s taking place in a few days. The Traveler skin is an cyclopean alien sporting a dapper Area 51 suit and was uncovered by s1l0x, who has posted some clips of the extra terrestrial visitor on Twitter. Encrypted “Traveler” skin!Likely will be released September 20th for the Area 51 meme!HD: https://t.co/Ol4ywjP6jeCr

Oh, and developer Riot Games also announced in a press release that League of Legends sees about 8 million peak concurrent players logging in everyday—which probably makes League the most popular game in the world (not like that should surprise anyone). So it’s not exactly clear who actually wins The Most Popular PC Game award. Still, it’s crazy that a 10-year-old game like League of Legends is so damn popular. If you’re excited to learn about what’s next, tune in to League of Legends’ Twitch pa

Despite having 312 million PC Gamers, China’s language barrier and government censorship makes it easy to forget that it’s the world’s largest PC gaming scene . That’s slowly changing thanks to the availability of Steam in China (PUBG owes much of its success to Chinese players, for instance), but many of China’s top PC games still aren’t accessible to English-speaking players. To help lift the veil, here’s some of the most historically popular PC games in China that you’ll probably never play.

‘Project Resistance was revealed last week as a team-based spinoff of the Resident Evil series. Some, such as in this Reddit thread, are unhappy that it’s not a full-on Resident Evil game, while others may simply be mindful of what happened with the previous multiplayer Resident Evil game, Umbrella Corps. “Been seeing a lot of people who are not pleased with the idea that we’re making Project Resistance. Project Resistance offers up a really interesting way to do that,” he tweeted. Walker said t

Players have discovered a location that spawns a guaranteed Loot Tink, or the equivalent of a bandit treasure goblin, that spits out legendary gear by the gobful. Besides farming specific bosses for unique loot, this little loot tink trivializes Borderlands 3’s current endgame. (Image credit: Gearbox Software)First, set the difficulty to Mayhem 3, which increases the chance for finding rare loot by a huge margin. Loot Tink, 12 o’clock. (Image credit: Gearbox Software)He might spit out a few lege

(Image credit: Quqco (Twitch))Twitch has temporarily suspended the account of streamer Quqco for violating its guidelines on “sexually suggestive content or activities.” I don’t understand @TwitchSupport @twitch how is this sexually suggestive content? pic.twitter.com/qP1WoBbZL3September 15, 2019One of the biggest challenges facing streamers is that Twitch’s guidelines on sexually suggestive content are notoriously vague. Please remember that sexually explicit or suggestive content, such as nudi

He admitted to asking co-defendant Tyler Barriss to swat co-defendant Shane Gaskill following a dispute over a Call of Duty match. Gaskill provided Barriss a false address, however, which led Wichita police to the home of 28-year-old Andrew Finch. “Swatting, and soliciting others to swat someone, are more than foolish,” US Attorney Stephen McAllister said. Barriss, who actually carried out the swat attack by calling police, pleaded guilty to 51 counts and was sentenced to 20 years in prison earl

Vinyls, Marvel Pop! Vinyls is not enough: according to a report in Deadline, Warner Bros has optioned the rights to a Funko film adaptation. Interestingly, Funko CEO Brian Mariotti reckons the eventual Funko movie “isn’t about selling toys or building a brand”. Other Warner Animation Group films currently in production include Space Jam 2 and Tom & Jerry. If all goes well, the Funko movie will rightfully take its place next to fellow bizarre 21st century film tie-ins like The Emoji Movie, Angry

(Image credit: Asus)If you’ve been saving up for a gaming monitor, this deal might be to your interest. The ultra-premium Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ has dropped to $1,499.99 on Amazon, its lowest recorded price yet. That’s still very expensive, but it has every single bell and whistle you could imagine in a monitor. This display has a 27-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) IPS panel, capable of running at up to 144Hz with Nvidia G-Sync. There’s also customizable RGB lighting, because no gaming product would be com

It’s awesome when players take on ridiculous, self-imposed challenges, like the time someone beat Skyrim while only using a torch or when another player beat Fallout: New Vegas on max difficulty with dying or killing anyone. The latest entry in the category I’ll call ‘There Should Really An Annual Awards Show For This Kind Of Accomplishment’ is this Minecraft player who beat the game without ever walking. Technically, you don’t really beat Minecraft because it’s an endless game, but you can “bea

(Image credit: Logitech)Logitech is launching a new wireless mouse “designed for gamers who love to game,” which I imagine is a much easier sell than a rodent designed for gamers who absolutely abhor gaming. Either way, the new G604 is another Lightspeed mouse. When paired with an included dongle/receiver, Logitech claims an ultra-fast 1ms response time and up to 240 hours (10 days) of non-stop gaming on a single AA battery. This is another Logitech mouse to use the company’s excellent Hero 16K

A couple of weeks ago you could get Codemaster’s Dirt Rally for free by subscribing to the Humble Store’s newsletter. Now you can the 2015 racing game for free simply by downloading it from Steam before September 16. In our review we called it “the best rally game in years.” Steam reviews—over 20,000 of them—are 87% positive, so we’re not the only ones who enjoyed it. Not bad for a game that’s discounted 100%.

Borderlands 3 launched on September 13, and I don’t know about you but my Twitter feed is full of people talking about it (and pictures of dogs, obviously). People having opinions about a game doesn’t necessarily translate into people playing it, but according to Gearbox CEO and part-time magician Randy Pitchford, “the launch day peak concurrent players of Borderlands 3 is about *twice-as-high* as the all time peak concurrent players of Borderlands 2.” Fun Fact: On PC, the data is that the launc
