The new Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London doesnt just introduce a new location to the Fallout universe but also some new factions. Most Fallout games introduce some regional factions, like Fallout 4s Minutemen, but they also usually include at least one of the franchises established factions, like the Brotherhood of Steel. Fallout: London breaks this tradition by including only original factions and not bringing back any of the old favorites from other games. View the full article
Silent Hill 2 Remake developer Bloober Team wants fans to give its version of the beloved survival horror game a chance. Game producer Piotr Babieno told Rolling Stone that Bloober Team appreciates fans offering their feedback on Silent Hill 2, which he said has been "invaluable in refining our project before its release," but admitted the developers need to ignore some chatter to focus "on their creative work with peace of mind." Gameplay has caused some concern the remake is changing too much from the original and becoming too action focused. But even Bloober Team itself said a particularly controversial trailer was handled by not it but publisher Konami, and wasn't "in the spirit of what used to be." I am dreaming that gamers will trust us but I realize that trust is earned through actions, not through words. Addressing worried fans, Babieno said: "I am dreaming that gamers will trust us but I realize that trust is earned through actions, not through words. That’s why we have a policy of not commenting [on the specifics of the game] and raising hopes. We want to show our ambitions through our work, so we can’t ask for anything more than ‘give us a chance.'" It's unclear what is changing, though Bloober Team has been adamant that the story will remain as it was. "We are focusing on bringing the distinct, visceral atmosphere back in the modernized Silent Hill 2," chief marketing officer Anna Jasińska said in January 2023. "Longtime fans shouldn’t worry about us missing the point while we’re livening up the title." Babieno said there may be some changes fans don't anticipate, but he hopes fans will understand why they were made upon playing it for themselves. "We tried to make all possible fans happy, but, at the same time, be very faithful to ourselves," he said. "I really hope that when people play for the first time, they will understand that the choices we made were the best possible." Fans certainly don't have long to wait, as just in time for Halloween Silent Hill 2 launches October 8, 2024 for PlayStation 5 and PC. Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He'll talk about The Witcher all day. View the full article
Crowning Duologue is one of only two Strand rocket launchers in Destiny 2, the other being Semiotician from last year's Season of the Witch.

Kaiju No. 8 fans, it's time to celebrate, as that sequel series has been confirmed as a second season. Last month, it was confirmed that Kaiju No. 8 would be getting a sequel of some sort, but it wasn't outright stated to be another season. After all, there are plenty of series that get movie adaptations of particular manga arcs these days (you can thank ****** Slayer for that one). But, it was confirmed yesterday that the quite good Kaiju No. 8 will be getting a season 2, and that that second season will be arriving some time in 2025. Yesterday was a perfect day to announce it too, as in ********* the series is known as Kaijū Hachigō - the word "hachi" being the ********* for the number eight, i.e. the eighth month of the year, August, and "go" (****** the long ō) means five, with the date being August 5. A fun trailer was released with the 2025 announcement, which you can see above, showing different clips from the anime overlaid with a filter as if these are all governmental recordings of the different kaiju that Kafka has to face off against. Alongside the season 2 announcement, it was also revealed that a film compilation of the first season is on the way too, though whether that is released outside of Japan isn't clear just yet. On top of that, a special episode titled "Hoshina's Day Off" is in the works, which will be screened alongside the compilation film, so here's hoping that makes it over here somehow.

After having to trek across massive expanses for over six months, Epic Games has finally added fast travel capabilities to LEGO Fortnite in the form of Battle Bus Stations. Before this update, players were forced to build their villages relatively close to one another, since there weren’t easy ways to travel across the world. Players previously had to walk across huge bodies of land or build vehicles to reach faraway places, but even that would be tedious since you’d have to spend plenty of time getting from point A to point B.

Dracula has graced the ***** by Daylight fog and is now available for you to play as a formidable *******. This particular version of Dracula is from the Castlevania series, and has several unique perks you can use to dispatch Survivors before they reach the exit.

After you prestige him, his perks can appear on the bloodwebs of other Killers in the game, giving them access to his perks—but they can’t use all of his powers.

According to its ESRB rating, the upcoming fantasy sports game Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will feature the word "sh*t" for some reason. Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is the next video game based on the incredibly popular Harry Potter franchise, an IP primarily aimed at children and teenagers. The books and movies have occasional swear words, but it's still odd that Quidditch Champions features the word "sh*t." View the full article
As the wait lengthens for Hollow Knight: Silksong, other Soulsy creature features are scurrying to fill the breach. We had Deviator last week - now, it's time for a bumper helping of the heebie-jeebies in the shape of Perennial Order. The title makes it sound like an eBay delivery of potted geraniums. The game festering beneath is actually a "plant horror" boss rusher with twin stick melee controls, unlockable "Instinct" abilities and one-hit deaths. In a gift to headline writers everywhere, the developers, four-person Gardenfiend Games, are calling it "Hollow Knight meets Titan Souls", and who am I to deny them? It's got one of those "painterly" art styles, too, though other words come to mind, such as "rotted" and "unhallowed" and "manky". It's out on 6th September. Find a trailer nested below this paragraph like a venus flytrap poised to clamp around your fingers. Read more View the full article
Okay, listen. The Roads To Power expansion coming to Crusader Kings III is focusing on the Byzantine Empire. But forget that. Because today developers Paradox revealed the ins and outs of another feature from the DLC that is way more exciting than some fusty old Greeks. It's called "landless adventurers" and it'll let you play as disgraced dirtbag travelling the world in a sort of medieval gig economy. You'll be making camp, gathering followers, taking random jobs from local rulers, and catching infectious ********* as you try to travel safely through war-torn regions. It sounds amazing.

Well, here's a wonderful surprise. Years since it was first revealed, cozy farming sim and pastoral RPG Fields of Mistria has suddenly arrived via Steam Early Access.

Stardew Valley's international concert tour, Festival of Seasons, has been a pretty substantial success as tickets quickly sold out—the Chicago show reportedly sold out in less than two minutes.

Sword of Convallaria is out and doing well, drawing in players with its tactical gameplay, classic RPG aesthetic, and loving approach to both narrative and musical score. But even with its many merits, the public review score for the game ******** mixed. This is due to two major reasons: the monetisation and progress blockers. This is because Sword of Convallaria is a gacha game! Tempting you to spend money is kinda the point, arguably more than making a fufilling gaming experience. Those upset about monetisation are strongly against such practices, whereas progress blockers come in the form of rechargable stamina preventing you from moving through the game when you run out. You can recover stamina naturally, sure. Or you could spend money. For many such complaints will be weird, because you knew what you were getting into when you downloaded the game. But, it's also worth noting that in recent years (in fact, probably since HoYoverse started making big-budget gachas aimed at wider western markets) that the harshness of such gacha mechanics has been softened considerably. Sword of Convallaria isn't the worst offender in the genre by any means, but if you compare it to the big hitters of the day, it's by no means the best either. Read more View the full article
The final update in Chapter Five, season three has arrived in Fortnite and brought with it a decent amount of content to close out the season. If you’re wondering what this update includes, it’s worth reviewing the Fortnite v30.40 patch notes. The official patch notes don’t always include everything you can actually find in the update and oftentimes also don’t go into too much detail, which means you may be seeking further information about it. There’s a lot of fresh content to explore, so here’s everything featured in Fortnite’s v30.40 update. View the full article
Mountains and gravity aren't a great combination under normal circumstances, as anyone who's fallen off a cliff or seen a landslide can attest, but people will play with absolutely anything given half a chance. Find the right slope, terraform as necessary, and suddenly guaranteed ***** is an exciting ride and the chance of ****** or maiming drops to a manageable but nowhere-close-to-zero percentage. The first Descenders was a mountain biking sports arcade game where the object was to ride on the far edge of control, zipping down the trail past trees and rocks at a breakneck pace while sticking to the path only when it was convenient. Speed and tricks built up rep, earning new bikes and other gear, and while it's a great way to tear up a mountain there are more ways to get to the base than on two wheels. View the full article
After a brief tease during its anniversary stream earlier this year, Behaviour Interactive announced today that the Castlevania chapter will arrive in ***** by Daylight later this month. In a press release, Behaviour Interactive confirmed that the Castlevania chapter in ***** by Daylight will be available starting August 27. The chapter will introduce two new playable characters: Dracula will be the latest ******* joining the roster, while Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse protagonist Trevor Belmont will be the new survivor. Behaviour notes that although Trevor is not the Belmont known for his brawn, Behaviour teases that his "unique skillset serves to set him apart," including his collaboration skills, which make him an effective team player. In contrast, Dracula has many different forms he can take, noting that Dracula has three different forms: Vampire, Bat, and Wolf. "We wanted to create fluidity in the way players can have Dracula change between his different forms and have it feel seamless," ***** by Daylight Creative Director Dave Richard explained in the press release. When I first played Symphony of the Night — which is one of my favorite games of all time — having vampiric powers like these was absolutely amazing. Being able to put players in the shoes of The Dark Lord in ***** by Daylight was an alluring and unique opportunity for us." Those who play ***** by Daylight on PC and are eager to play the chapter can now access it via Steam public test build. Taylor is a Reporter at IGN. You can follow her on Twitter @TayNixster.

Following a bit of a delay, the Delta Force: Hawk Ops PC alpha test has officially kicked off in the West. An older version of the game has been playable for quite some time in Asia, but this is the first time Western players have been able to get their hands on it. Well, those who have been lucky enough to get invited, anyway. That’s because, though this is a public test, it ******** invite only. You can certainly throw your name in the hat, but you can’t quite guarantee getting access. Read more View the full article
