BioWare currently has no plans for downloadable Dragon Age: The Veilguard expansions, seemingly scuttling any hopes for DLC on the order of fan-favorite releases like Trespasser or Awakening. Instead, Rolling Stone reports that BioWare's "full attention has shifted entirely to the next Mass Effect" now that Dragon Age is officially out in the wild. While BioWare didn't offer any follow-up details in Rolling Stone's report, IGN understands that the studio plans to support The Veilguard with quality-of-life improvements and a handful of smaller content updates. We have reached out to EA for more details. BioWare's decision not to release a DLC expansion may come as a surprise given its history with Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Baldur's Gate 2. DLC episodes like Mass Effect 2's Lair of the Shadowbroker, the Dragon Age 2 prequel Leliana's Song, and the aforementioned Trespasser include some of BioWare's best-loved stories, offering a deeper look at their worlds and characters. But having finally finished its decade-long journey with The Veilguard, BioWare seems ready to focus its attention on Mass Effect, which has been largely on hold due to the studio focusing all of its efforts on shipping Dragon Age. In the meantime, fans are busy digging into BioWare's latest RPG after Dragon Age's release on Thursday, propelling it to new highs for an EA game on Steam. They have plenty to find even without DLC — estimates on IGN sister site HowLongToBeat suggest that it can take upwards of 88 hours to complete the main story while doing sidequests. We wrote in our review, "Dragon Age: The Veilguard refreshes and reinvigorates a storied series that stumbled through its middle years, and leaves no doubt that it deserves its place in the RPG pantheon.

Fortnite announced today that it is rolling out a new OG Battle Royale season, called Chapter 2 Remix, in partnership with Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, Eminem, and, posthumously, Juice WLRD. In each week of November, Fortnite will have a waterfall rollout of new map locations "revamped" by the artists, culminating in a finale event. Week 1 will have Snoop Dogg's touch, remixing the point of interest formerly known as The Agency as The Dogg Pound. It will also bring back the boogie ***** that triggers "Drop It Like It's Hot." Week 2 will reveal Eminem's takeover of The Grotto as Spaghetti Grotto (a play on his Mom's Spaghetti restaurant in Detroit) with a "Rap ****" machine **** that spits out lyrics to the 2013 song. Week 3 drops Ice Spice's Y2K, New York-inspired Shark Island. Finally, Week 4 will pay homage to Juice WLRD, who ***** from a seizure in 2021 at just 21 years old. Epic says it worked closely with his mother, estate, and label, Interscope to bring this to life. "Jarad always loved to play Fortnite – it was more than just entertainment for him, it was a way to connect with others,” his mother, Carmela Wallace, said in a statement. The new season will launch in three phases: on November 1, with The Prelude; on November 2, with the offical launch of Chapter 2, and on November 30, with The Finale, which will be a yet-to-be-announced in-game event. Any players who attend, however, will receive a free cel-shaded outfit. "We're starting to see artists understand that gaming is an interesting and important place to meet fans where they are," said Nate Nanzer, VP of Global Partnerships, at a press event. "There's a lot of experimentation bringing music and gaming closer together." Emily Levy, the director of strategic partnerships, said that artists see an 8.7% lift of consumption on streaming platforms after bringing music into the game. "Fortnite has become a necessary stop for artists on their tours, engage on their campaigns, release cycles," she said. At the same event, Fortnite also announced kicks, a new cosmetic item; players will now be able to pick cusom shoes for their avatars to wear. The first will be a classic pair of Air Jordan high tops. Leanna Butkovic is IGN's Editorial Project Manager. View the full article

The launch of the remixed season was preceded by a musical event, similar to the Eminem concert that teased a new era for Fortnite.

Capcom officially unleashed the Monster Hunter Wilds beta test for everyone on Thursday, and some players are finding that its creatures are a bit…flat. The Monster Hunter series is known for many things, but its history of delivering creative, detailed monsters is easily one of its biggest draws. While the franchise’s next major entry, Wilds, will surely be no different when it launches early next year, those who hopped into its pre-release beta yesterday are finding that its monsters don’t look quite as they expected. Specifically, many creatures currently sport low-poly models that make them look like they just hopped straight of a PS1 game. Wilds beta seems to be struggling with its polygons Here's a thread of any comically low-poly #MHWilds images I come across that are too funny to ignore: Feel free to drop your own low-poly encounters Starting off with a low poly Seikret [Hidden Content] — TeaCommonShark (@khitwins) November 1, 2024 It's unclear what exactly is causing these low-poly monsters to infest the Monster Hunter Wilds beta, but it appears that PC players are being affected the most. While an issue as widespread as this would be a concern for players who just picked up a finished game, there are those who can’t help but find the fun in this visual glitch during this pre-launch test. Many, including X/Twitter user @khitwins, have taken the opportunity to collect their findings in a thread of posts while asking others to do the same. Reddit user 5centipersecond took things a step further by creating fan art of a monster that looks more like a futuristic motorcycle. I had a terrifying low-poly Doshaguma encounter! [Hidden Content] — Lemmy Laurent (@LaurentLemmy) November 1, 2024 Low poly Chatacabra [Hidden Content] — TeaCommonShark (@khitwins) November 1, 2024 The monsters are the cream of the crop – it really only gets funnier as you scroll through – but the angular models don’t stop at everyone’s favorite huntable creatures. Hunters and even fish have fallen ill to the polygonal virus as well, with players finding more than a few instances of flat people wandering around Monster Hunter Wilds, too. Screenshot taken by my friend while we were watching the cutscenes [Hidden Content] — Itz_JustUkra (@ItzUkra) November 1, 2024 i thought it was my 2060 that was causing the issue [Hidden Content] — bnuy (@SceledrusZER0) November 1, 2024 My start was a bit angular [Hidden Content] — Odder Autter (@Autter17) November 1, 2024 For now, Capcom has yet to comment on glitch. Let’s hope a fix arrives before launch. Monster Hunter Wilds launches for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S on February 28, 2025. Despite the technical hiccups keeping players from seeing the monsters in all of their glory, the beta is off to a remarkably strong start. Today, we reported that it had reached a peak of 463k players on Steam alone, with the possibility to reach an even higher number on the way as the weekend rolls on. You can ***** in for yourself on any of the aforementioned platforms before the beta concludes Sunday, November 3. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.
