In V Rising, you're a fledgling vampire on a mission to become absolute bossferatu of a Gothic open world. You get a Diablo-ish combat system, the ability to shapeshift into a spider, and a whole castle to prance around in, crooning at the moon. I like this premise almost as much as I dislike the fact that V Rising is also a survival game, in which you must fell trees and master a crafting system like a common turnip farmer. What do we hope for when our interest in a game is almost perfectly balanced by our disinterest? We hope that the developers will treat us to a free-to-play weekend, in which our perhaps-unfounded reservations might be strategically offset by the endorphin rush of not having paid any ******** money. This, V Rising creators Stunlock have now done. The game is free to download and play on Steam from right now until Monday, 16th September at 5pm *** or 10am PST. Read more View the full article

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is highlighting the beauty of Northern Thedas while offering a detailed look at how players can interact and explore the game's world in BioWare's latest blog post. Though initially sold as a dark fantasy, the setting of the series has always had high fantasy elements. As the franchise began to move away from the Darkspawn as a main focus, some players felt that Dragon Age lost its identity. Ten years after the launch of its predecessor, Dragon Age: The Veilguard seems to lean into a bit of both, as Northern Thedas is shaping up to be diverse in biomes and themes. View the full article

Multiple names and keywords are thrown around throughout the main campaign of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 that even diehard fans may have missed. A notable reveal is of Leandros at the end of the campaign, as Titus looks at the newly unmasked Chaplain he had seen throughout the story. Leandros is not a name or a character from any of the books, such as Chapter Master Calgar, who Titus tries to call in the story and eventually speaks to in the middle of a battle with the forces of Chaos. Some Warhammer 40K fans may have missed this throwback, but those who played the first Space Marine likely know exactly who this character is. Here’s what you need to know about Leandros in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. View the full article

With Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 now over a week old, players have completed its campaign and started to get to grips with the co-op Operations mode and the PvP mode, Eternal War. But already fans are speculating about which ****** faction they’ll go up against in the seemingly inevitable Space Marine 3 — and based on hints in the game, there can be only one pick. Warning! Spoilers for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 follow. Space Marine 2 sees Titus of the Ultramarines go up against the Tyranids and the Thousand Suns Traitor Legion in a campaign that ends up with a massive battle against a ****** army and even a trip to the warp. With the aid of Ultramarines Chapter Master Marneus Calgar, Titus successfully fends off both ****** factions before he’s sent on a mysterious mission that teases the continuation of the story in another sequel. This sequel — let’s go with Space Marine 3 given Space Marine 2’s breakout success suggests developer Saber Interactive will indeed make more games in the series — looks certain to feature the Necrons, Warhammer 40,000’s deathless skeletal ****** xenos. Why do fans believe the Necrons are next, after Space Marine 1’s Orks and Space Marine 2’s Tyranids and Thousand Sons? There are clear hints that the Necrons are coming ******* within Space Marine 2 itself. To set the stage, one mission that takes Titus and co deep within the bowels of an alien planet shows ancient and mysterious wall markings that are a clear nod to the Necrons. Posts from the spacemarine community on Reddit .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } There’s even a dataslate (Space Marine 2's audio logs) that reveals Necron constructs have been ******** Techpriests. You can see these constructs lying about the place (the one below looks like a Canoptek Tomb Stalker to me). So Space Marine 2 is interesting … byu/Repulsive-Self1531 inNecrontyr .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } This hint is part of the third act of the campaign, which sees Titus head to a Necron Tomb World packed with Necron buildings and technology. Some players even suspected the xenos would make a surprise appearance as a third ****** faction in the campaign, given the nature of the mission. Indeed, it turns out that the Space Marine 2 story sort of revolves around the Necrons. The Techpriest who goes off the rails is trying to use an ancient Necron artifact to nullify the influence of Chaos by closing off the warp, the ***** dimension from which Chaos spews forth. At least that’s what the Techpriest thinks the artifact does (it doesn't, then it does). Assuming the Necrons do turn up at some point, they’ll probably be very ****** indeed. As a faction they have a collective ‘got up on the wrong side of the bed’ attitude, given they’re waking up from a 60 million year-long slumber beneath the Imperium’s feet. They’ll probably have something to say about the Adeptus Mechanicus ******** on their door during the Space Marine 2 campaign, that's for sure. As for Ttitus, he’ll no doubt be drafted in to save the day once again, fighting Necrons as well as the forces of Chaos with the sort of enthusiasm we've come to know and love, but with Chaplain Leandros keeping a close eye on proceedings just in case there’s a whiff of ***********. Honestly, give poor Titus a break, won't you? Perhaps we’ll get Ultramarines Primarch Robute Guilliman himself to have a word. For Warhammer 40,000 fans, it’s all very exciting, but alas we'll have to wait for a story expansion or Space Marine 3 to find out what happens next. Space Marine 2 has enjoyed over two million players, and according to its developers, has sold faster than any ***** game. It’s already the most-played Warhammer 40,000 game of all time by Steam concurrents, and could grow further when DLC finally kicks in. We’ve got plenty more Space Marine 2 coverage, including details on its post-launch roadmap, the upcoming addition of class matching for co-op after players found themselves locked in a class standoff ahead of Operations mode missions, and a report on those creepy flying ******* you keep seeing on the Battle Barge. IGN's Space Marine 2 review returned an 8/10. We said: "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 may not break the third-person shooter mold, but it looks amazing, makes good use of its Warhammer lore, and has brutal combat that just feels great."

There are several ways to improve your quality of life in NBA 2K25 MyCAREER. One of the most prominent QoL features is the Badge Elevator, but beware: It’s very easy to misunderstand and misuse these if you don’t fully understand how they work. Badge Elevators are an entirely new mechanic, aimed to rapidly speed up your MyCAREER progress. New shortcuts to success are generally welcome in any shape or form, but they can also lead to disappointment when the actual effect of a feature has lesser impact than initially perceived. Badge Elevators are kind of going through that process in NBA 2K25, though this has to do more with community misconceptions than the actual feature’s value. View the full article

Eve Online developer CCP has announced Eve Frontier, a spin-off of the much-loved MMO that adds controversial blockchain and cryptocurrency elements. CCP describes Eve Frontier as an online space survival game with an open and persistent sandbox that focuses on “self-reliance, tactical and emergent gameplay, and third-party development.” Here’s the official blurb: In Eve Frontier, CCP Games is creating a deep player-driven sandbox for a new era. Cast into a cruel and brutal cosmos, you have been lost to time and lost to light. To survive, you will need to explore, exploit and expand in the face of perpetual annihilation. The Frontier is a shattered region of space, warped by the presence of supermassive ****** holes gravitationally bound in a macabre dance. Rogue AI infests its depths; corrupting and consuming the remnants of what still stands. With all players on one single-shard server, ****** and opportunity lurk in equal measure. Awareness is power: your skill as a pilot and strategic choices determine the outcome of every encounter, whether you favor hit-and-run tactics, stealth, or all-out warfare. Exploit the Frontier’s natural resources to upgrade your ship with vital technology and acquire new capabilities. Obtain fuel, the lifeblood of your journey, to power your travel as you overcome its dangers. A community-driven and dynamic economy allows you to create custom currencies, establish markets, and trade assets, services, and reputation in a truly open environment. Rebuild civilization from its ashes by using Smart Assemblies, an open-ended platform, to construct and program infrastructure within space. Expand your influence through defenses, trading posts and multiple types of functionality, each imbued with a programmable layer that links the world of the Frontier to the real world outside of it. Develop your own ideas or address the needs of others: from mission systems to private economies, Smart Assemblies unlocks third-party development with a toolkit for creators to build beyond a virtual world. On the face of it, Eve Frontier sounds like an exciting alternative to Eve Online that could scratch a ********* space survival *****, but the inclusion of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology that has sparked a backlash from Eve Online players, some of whom have let CCP know how they feel across social media and subreddits. CCP explains its use of crypto as supporting player ownership of items, with all transactions between players permitted outside and inside the game. Blockchain tech, CCP says, lets players edit aspects of the game world and server in real-time. CCP insists all this tech is environmentally friendly: “all technology used to develop and operate Eve Frontier has the same energy consumption as Eve Online’s infrastructure.” Blockchain and crypto has its time, and it is passed. Please. I beg of you. Don't ******** this amazing game you have created. Despite these explanations, Eve Online players have reacted in horror at the announcement of Eve Frontier. Its subreddit is packed with complaints, with one player accusing CCP of tarnishing Eve Online. Another Eve Online player called on CCP to cancel Eve Frontier. “None of us want this crypto slop, this desperate cash grab, this attempt at ‘creating something great,’ WOLFWOLF68 said. “This game where buzzwords seem more important than gameplay. “We love Eve. That’s why we still play it. None of us, through the memes and the laughs, want Eve to ****. This ‘New Frontier’ is not Eve. It's everything bad about Eve, with even worse elements in it. “It won't work. People wont play this. Blockchain and crypto has its time, and it is passed. Please. I beg of you. Don't ******** this amazing game you have created.” CCP's X/Twitter post announcing Eve Frontier has sparked similarly vociferous responses from Eve Online fans. releasing a blockchain game a year after the weird hype about that technology ***** so now you got a ********concept and don't even get a pay-off for it let's see how this is going to turn out :) — Hannah / Nimos (@nim0s) September 12, 2024 I initially liked this cos I like Eve, but just wanted to say I retract my Like because of the Blockchain nonsense, thanks — Rob McLachlan (@robmclac) September 12, 2024 Despite being over 20 years old, Eve Online retains a loyal fanbase and is still capable of housing incredible, community-driven stories. Eve Online is infamous for player heists, large-scale sci-fi battles, and for being so complex some of its players maintain multiple spreadsheets just to keep on top of things. Through all the ups and downs, CCP has struggled to create an Eve spin-off that has hit the same heights as its veteran MMO, with first-person shooter Dust 514 and VR game Eve: Valkyrie both falling by the wayside. Another Eve FPS, called Vanguard, is in the works. As for Eve Frontier, CCP said it will reveal more later this year. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

Image: Alex Parkin / The Verge Sony’s new PlayStation 5 Pro appears to be very powerful. But at $700 — plus another $80 if you want to buy the disc drive accessory since the console itself doesn’t have one — a lot of gamers have been left wondering exactly how powerful it needs to be in order to justify the cost. On this episode of The Vergecast, we try to figure out why the PS5 Pro has the specs and price tag it does and what this new console might tell us about the overall state of the gaming business. Around the same time as Sony’s announcement, Microsoft said it was laying off another 650 Xbox employees — these are two companies with very different ideas about the same business, and it’s not always obvious who’s right.
