Avowed is a first-person action-RPG that takes place in the Living Lands, an island in the world of Eora, which some people will know from the Pillars of Eternity series. You don’t need to be familiar with any previous games, though. You play as a character who has come to the Living Lands to investigate a plague that’s spreading throughout the island. The Living Lands is monster-infested, of course, and you can fend off enemies using magical spells, swords, and even guns. You’ll pick up companions on your journey and make all sorts of choices about how to proceed when forks in the road appear. Check out our overwhelmingly positive Avowed hands-on preview for more details. Other Preorder Guides Chris Reed is a deals expert and commerce editor for IGN.

How do you use the Monster Hunter Wilds Charge Blade? A returning weapon, the Charge Blade has gone through a few changes, making it one of the most technical weapons in the roster.

Silverstone has just dropped one of the bravest PC case launches we've seen for a long time. The new Silverstone FLP01 case has an old-school desktop-layout case designed to bring you the look and feel of a retro gaming PC, but without the need to rely on old hardware or modify an old case. It's an interesting look with likely a very niche market, but if you simply must match your 80s/90s game collection with a case design of that era, this has to be a top choice. Indeed, if you want to build a retro gaming PC, or recreate that retro look with a modern PC spec, the Silverstone FLP01 is probably the best PC case for the job. What's more, with Silverstone slapping a modest price on this beige desktop chassis, it's not a retro gaming option that's going to break the bank either. Read the rest of the story...

Highly anticipated action role-playing game Phantom Blade Zero, which doesn't look to dissimilar to ****** Myth: Wukong, has received a slick new trailer but still no release date. The Year of the Snake Gameplay Trailer, below, shows Phantom Blade Zero's protagonist in a boss battle against Chief Disciple's Fallen Hope, a puppet-themed baddie who fights with a squad of marionettes before moving to strings itself. Fans hoping for a concrete launch date for Phantom Blade Zero are out of luck, however, as ******** developer S-Game still hasn't revealed when players can get their hands on the game beyond a vague 2025 release window. The studio told Eurogamer Phantom Blade Zero is a "polished title" though, evidenced by the demos shown last year. It's currently in the process of pushing "the boundaries even further" using Unreal Engine 5, brought on by a "significant" increase in budget. The Year of the Snake gameplay trailer closed by showing off some snake-themed weapons. Weapon Number 13 is called the Soft Snake Sword and has a flexible metallic blade which can rapidly cut through foes, while Weapon Number 27 is the White Serpent and Crimson Viper big sword and short sword combo. Despite comparisons to ****** Myth: Wukong, which arrived in 2024 to incredible success, Phantom Blade Zero leans more into the pure action game genre than a From Software-inspired Souslike. It was announced in May 2023 but S-Game hasn't said too much about it since. This will likely change as its 2025 release date on PC and PlayStation 5 approaches, though fans will just have to wait patiently for this to be announced. Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter.
