The Books of Knowledge collection has featured key info, guidance, and lore on The Lands Between in Vol. 1, and Shards of the Shattering in Vol. 3. Now, in Vol. 3 Future Press turns its attention to Elden Ring's only expansion, the critically acclaimed Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

See Here for *** - Future Press This new tome will serve as a complete catalog of the Shadow Realm and its inhabitants, merging map-based world and dungeon guides with the detailed stats and analysis of enemies and equipment offered in previous editions. Vol. 3 looks like it could be a must-have companion and definitive reference book for Elden Ring's DLC, and an impressive collector's item for anyone who purchased the previous two volumes. As you can tell, this isn’t Future Press’s first rodeo giving such thorough coverage to FromSoftware’s games. They recently revealed a brand new edition of the complete Bloodborne guide as part of the publisher's 25th anniversary and also produced the widely popular reprint of the Dark Souls Trilogy guide as well. We gave Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree a 10/10 in our review, stating: "Like the base game did before it, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree raises the bar for single-player DLC expansions. It takes everything that made the base game such a landmark RPG, condenses it into a relatively compact 20-25-hour campaign, and provides fantastic new challenges for heavily invested fans to chew on." Shadow of the Erdtree, released on June 21, 2024, includes bosses that truly test players' limits, according to director Hidetaka Miyazaki. If Radahn is among those formidable foes, and while we wait for Future Press' strategy guide, don't miss IGN's comprehensive guide for detailed information on the new weapons, quest lines, and strategies to conquer the big man himself in the expansion.

Manor Lords' publisher has defended the strategy game over a post that it thinks espouses an "endless growth" perspective "that causes so much trouble in the games industry." Earlier this year, Manor Lords released into early access, and it did so very successfully, racking up two million copies sold in its first three weeks. But, like many early access games, buzz around it has ***** down a bit, in part because big updates haven't been released too frequently since its release. A post from The Long Dark developer Hinterland's CEO Raphael van Lierop appeared to criticise this very point on LinkedIn, saying that while they "really love what is here" there's "very little to it" and that it's a "pretty interesting case-study in the pitfalls of Early Access development." Lierop continued, "It launched with a pretty strong base game but without much content. A heavily systems-centric game needs either a range of maps, game modes, or some amount of proc-gen dynamism to keep it fresh. Read more View the full article

Despite what you might have seen, the creators of LA Noire aren't working on a new game, sorry to say. If you've been seeing people talking about a new game coming from the creators of LA Noire, I'm sorry to say that there isn't one coming. Earlier this week, *********** composer Freyja Garbett posted on Instagram talking about a new project from the creators of LA Noire, even giving it a name.

"This project has been HUGE and it is still unravelling and revealing itself to me. I never thought I’d be writing for [a] video game but I’m grateful for the opportunity!" However, Video Games Deluxe (the studio founded by Brendan McNamara, founder of the now defunct Team Bondi, the original studio behind LA Noire) shared a statement explaining that no, there isn't a game, and cleared the air on the post from Garbett (via VGC). "We are working exclusively on projects for Rockstar," reads the statement. "We commissioned some music from a local composer Freyja Garbett for a VR project that we were working on a number of years ago when between projects. Read more View the full article
