A new Diablo 4 hotfix is here, as Blizzard dramatically adjusts the reputation gains on offer in its latest update. Diablo 4 Season 8 sees the return of Belial, the Lord of Lies, with his vicious apparitions popping up all across Sanctuary. On the player's side, it grants us access to some of the powers employed by the various big, bad bosses to use as part of our builds. Also core to the season is the regular reputation rewards track, and now a fresh patch has made it vastly quicker to get to that essential Resplendent Spark. Read the rest of the story...

Prior to the shadow-dropping of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda was struggling with somewhat of a soured reputation. Although it never got as bad as some developers', a couple of poorly received games and what seemed to be declining quality didn't help its reputation. That being said, Bethesda has excelled as a publisher of late, with the revived DOOM series producing hit after hit and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle being better than the latest film in that franchise.

PlayStation has removed beloved platforming mascot Sackboy from the cast of characters featured in its movies intro, leading some fans to fear for the future of LittleBigPlanet. As spotted by X user Radec, the PlayStation Productions intro for the recent Until Dawn movie has removed Sackboy from its cast of characters, compared to previous stings featured before movies like 2023’s Gran Turismo, which included the character. Sony’s PlayStation Studios intro included at the start of its PS5 games are bespoke for each game, usually featuring characters from each game’s specific series. However, PlayStation Productions’ intro has always included a cast of characters from across PlayStation’s first-party games, seemingly representing their importance to the gaming brand. Read More...

South of Midnight developer Compulsion Games has said its role at Xbox “is not to make blockbusters like Call of Duty”, as it shares an early player milestone for the action adventure game. South of Midnight was released for Xbox consoles and PC, including Xbox Game Pass, on April 8, and according to Compulsion Games CEO Guillaume Provost, the game has attracted more than one million players in its first three weeks. It’s unclear how many of these one million players have come from Game Pass versus full sales, but South of Midnight’s peak Steam player count of just 1,483 suggests most have come via subscription.

Codemasters has confirmed an unspecified number of layoffs, following the news that it’s “pausing” development on its historic rally game franchises. Earlier this week, Codemasters – which was acquired by Electronic Arts in 2021 – confirmed it had ended its partnership with the World Rally Championship (WRC), and that it would thus be “pausing” development plans for future rally titles. In a statement to VGC, the EA-owned studio has now confirmed that layoffs will occur, as well as the redeployment of staff to different areas of EA Sports. Read More... View the full article
While undeniably a classic first-person RPG, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind never quite lived up to its name.

Sometimes when a game draws from too many places for inspiration, it can end up being a bit of a muddled, disconnected mess. However, if you expertly pluck only the coolest elements from your peers and throw your own unique visual style over the top, then you might strike a winning formula. That's exactly the kind of game The Shadow Syndicate appears to be. Fully revealed for the first time, it's an action game with flavors of LA Noire, Hitman, GTA, and Max Payne, and I can't wait to play it. Read the rest of the story...

While Fallout is Bethesda's baby these days, it wasn't the original creator of the iconic RPG series. That was Interplay, the company that infamously told departing employees to destroy any remnants of work they had on its games. That's led to a years-long mystery around whether the original source code for Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 actually survived, with the series' original producer Tim Cain claiming recently shining a light on Interplay's anti-preservation tactics. However, one of the company's co-founders, Rebecca Heineman, has now revealed that she's got backups of Fallout 1 and 2's source code tucked away, safe and sound. Read the rest of the story...

Is Clair Obscur Expedition 33 the most unexpected surprise of the year so far? Blue Prince is certainly a contender, but hasn't quite hit the dizzying sales and player count heights. Conversely, something like Schedule 1 has exploded out of nowhere, but isn't going to be scooping up end-of-year awards. When it comes to being the complete surprise package, I think Expedition 33 takes it. The game is so popular that on Steam, despite it being a fresh IP and a debut game from a small studio, it has reportedly sold faster than some of the most notable JRPGs of the last 12 months, such as Metaphor Refantazio and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

There are a lot of powerful enemies in Oblivion Remastered, but will-o-the-wisps can be one of the most frustrating to battle if you don't know how to deal with them.

They can be especially difficult depending on your class and what loadout you have when you run into them.

Star Wars Outlaws composer Wilbert Roget II had some very insightful comments regarding Lando Calrissian's character after his iconic betrayal of the Millennium Falcon crew on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back. Lando had a role in Star Wars Outlaws' base game, but featured prominently in the Wild Card story expansion, and Screen Rant had an opportunity to ask Roget about his work prior to the release of Outlaws' second DLC, A Pirate's Fortune.

The Fun60 Ultra is a TMR gaming keyboard with a fairly unique twist. You can mix and match both mechanical and magnetic switches on the same board, and any five-pin switches will work, according to Monsgeek. TMR stands for tunneling magnetoresistance, a technology that has been present in game controllers for a while now and is designed to bring heightened precision and accuracy compared to Hall Effect. Monsgeek has conjured up one of the best gaming keyboards your money can buy in the Fun60 Ultra. However, amongst the exciting features like rapid trigger, snap key, 8KHz polling, and mix-and-match switches, there are some flaws that prevent the Fun60 from reaching its full potential. Still, its value is unrivaled even by the best boards from the likes of Razer, Logitech, and Steelseries. Read the rest of the story...
