It's been a hot minute since we've heard from Monolith Productions' Wonder Woman game, and it sounds like we won't get to see Diana for quite a while yet on PS5 and Xbox - certainly not at Summer Game Fest.

As Bungie launches Destiny 2 expansion The Final Shape, fans think one developer has teased Destiny 3 with a series of cryptic tweets. The Final Shape concludes Destiny’s overarching story by placing the player inside the Traveler in a face-off against the mysterious The Witness. It’s the culmination of 10 years of often bewildering Destiny storytelling, and will hopefully provide answers for the game’s player base. But in previous videos, Bungie developers have teased that The Final Shape is not the end of Destiny 2 or even the series, with the developer - now owned by Sony - also working on multiplayer game Marathon. In a series of tweets marking the release of The Final Shape, Bungie executive creative director, Luke Smith, discussed the road to The Final Shape’s release and the effort its developers put in to make it happen. But it’s the mention of the word Hope three times, each capitalized, that has set the cat among the pigeons within the Destiny community. Here’s the tweet in question: Our Hope is always the same with Destiny games, expansions, seasons, DLCs, exotic missions, secret missions, in-game events, merchandise, et cetera - we genuinely Hope you enjoy the time you spend with it. Anything we've made or will make, that's the Hope. That tweet was enough to set off a number of Destiny content creators on the future of the series, and there's rampant speculation across social media and forums. Why you capitalizing "Hope" 3 different times? — KackisHD (@RickKackis) June 3, 2024 .. can't help but notice you're capitalizing that word more than once — it me: FALLOUT (@falloutplays) June 4, 2024 Destiny: 3 Hopes Releasing Fall 2027 — Destiny Bulletin (@DestinyBulletn) June 3, 2024 Or, this could be nothing, and Smith may in fact be referencing Paul McCartney's infamous Destiny song Hope for the Future, which, if you're so inclined, can be watched below: For anybody who doesn’t know in 2014 to coincide with the release of Destiny 1 Paul McCartney released “Hope For The Future” McCartney provided multiple bases for the iconic Destiny themes. Link for full song: [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] — Pengu (@Pengu0290482811) June 1, 2024 For now, the focus is on The Final Shape and its three planned episodes. Echoes kicks off next week on June 11, Revenant is set for October 2024, and Heresy rounds The Final Shape off in February 2025, although of course the plan may change. Beyond that? Bungie is yet to say. Destiny 3 could be an opportunity for Bungie to reset the series with a potentially next-gen entry-point that would bring in a wave of new players. But, after 10 years of Destiny, the studio may decide to leave Destiny behind for new franchises, as it did when it left Halo behind all those years ago. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

Have you ever wondered if the bloodshed of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines could have been avoided if Prince LaCroix, Ming Xiao, and Nines Rodriguez had sat down around a table and chatted it out? Sure, the Anarchs, Camarilla, and Kuei-jin are always at each others' throats, but perhaps if they'd just take a moment to understand each other, hostilities could have been avoided. As a malevolent Malkavian, I can't say this option crossed my mind (I don't know if much did), but the upcoming indie from Little Bat Games, Vampire Therapist, has made me rethink my entire approach to immortal unlife.

There was something magical about that first playthrough of Elden Ring – when everything was new and there was a prevailing sense of discovery and awe as I rode through The Lands Between, stumbling upon the horrors of Caelid, the beautiful vistas of Limgrave and Liurnia, and the treasures that awaited after a challenging dungeon. Which is why my three hours with Elden Ring’s DLC: Shadow of the Erdtree was so exciting, because it felt like I was playing Elden Ring again for the first time, in a brand new realm to explore, with new discoveries, new surprises, new gear, and you’d better believe new challenges, even despite my provided level 150 character with end-game level gear. My three hour play session began at the Cocoon of the Empyrean Site of Grace, which is where you do battle with the optional boss Mohg: The Lord of Blood. But this time, instead of an empty boss room, there was an NPC named Leda there as well, who asked me if I too was beckoned by Miquella. By examining the cocoon with Miquella’s withered arm ominously hanging out, I was whisked away to the Realm of Shadow. In true Elden Ring fashion, the very first ****** I encountered ended up murdering me. It’s hard to get a sense for just how big the Realm of Shadow actually is, but I will say that my first steps out into it were definitely reminiscent of the first time I emerged from the elevator and opened the doors into Limgrave. There were obvious areas of interest right from the get-go for me to explore, like a crypt that was directly to my left, some scorched ruins directly up ahead, a large castle far off in the distance, and the towering flaming brazier ****** from the trailer roaming around just on the horizon. Of course, in true Elden Ring fashion, the very first ****** I encountered ended up murdering me, as if to reassure me that despite my level 150 character with a +25 strength scaled axe, along with 80 points allocated to strength, this DLC wasn’t going to be a cake walk for people with end game builds that have run out of things to challenge them in the base game. It wasn’t even a boss, it was just a random ****** that decided to drop down from above while I was exploring some ruins, with its dual-wielded chakrams that kept me tumbling backwards as I tried to dodge its twirling dance that never seemed to end. Once I got my revenge and a paltry couple thousand runes for my trouble – again, this was just a normal run-of-the-mill ****** – I made a break down the beaten path and wound up at the first big dungeon of the DLC: Belurat. The ultimate goal of the DLC is to follow Miquella’s crosses, which essentially act as Miquella’s footprints and signpost the plot-critical path. The first one I found also came with a message that read: “The Gate of Divinity ***** in the Tower sealed by Shadow. That is surely where Kind Miquella is headed. We are no Empyreans but we must locate the path that will lead us there. I will follow the crosses east.” Belurat itself was a fairly large dungeon that was somewhere between the size of something like Stormveil Castle and Castle Morne. It’s not quite the size of a Legacy Dungeon from the main game, but still pretty lengthy and filled with plenty of optional side paths, many of which I didn’t get the opportunity to fully explore. It was a fortress filled with all sorts of new nasties, from scorpions of both the small and gigantic varieties, to relatively weak guards that liked to hide around corners waiting to ambush me, to Gravebirds that sat perched on the ramparts, to heavily armored knights with giant weapons that would occasionally use shoulder charges to bash into me from 15 feet away. Every ****** I fought was a new encounter for me to learn, which was an exciting challenge to overcome. Every ****** I fought was a new encounter for me to learn, which was an exciting challenge to overcome. The boss of Belurat is one that you no doubt will remember if you watched the reveal trailer. It’s called the Divine ******, Dancing Lion. It was a difficult ******, and one that required me to make use of one of the new summons in Shadow of the Erdtree: ****** Knight Commander Andreas, along with swapping my ******* from the heavy hitting Fireknight’s ***** Greatsword to the much more nimble Backhand Blade, which allowed me to hit and run much more easily. Perhaps the coolest aspect of this particular boss was the fact that its second phase has it alternating between ice and lightning power ups, forcing you to also have to contend with either random lightning strikes, or massive AOE ice attacks that build up frostbite, on top of also avoiding his heavy hitting attacks. Eventually I prevailed, gaining the Lion’s head to wear as a helmet (horrifying, but cool), and his remembrance, and moved on to the second main dungeon: Castle Ensis. This place reminded me much more of the Caria Manor, ******, you know, all of the horrifying hand monsters. There were lots of magic-wielding enemies, including a giant in Carian Armor that was much like Bol’s from one of the evergaol boss fights, and an extremely difficult Carian Knight that brought to mind the ****** against the ****** that guarded Renalla’s chambers in the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Fitting, because this ****** guarded Relanna, who I probably spent at least 30 to 40 minutes trying to beat. Relanna was definitely the hardest boss to take down during the preview window, combining fearsome melee sword skills with extremely powerful magic attacks. In her second phase, her two swords would be imbued with red and blue flames, giving them all new attacks that would set the arena ablaze and make them extremely difficult to get out of the way of. And just when I thought I had the win in the bag, she’d float up in the sky and cast a version of Renalla’s Full Moon that would ****** into the ground for three devastating shockwaves that could basically one-shot me from full health. If it isn’t clear already, Shadow of the Erdtree is hard, but you’re not left completely without a lifeline. Scattered throughout the Realm of Shadow are Scadurtree Fragments that can be brought back to a site of grace and turned in, much like you would a Sacred Tear, or Golden Seed. These fragments will decrease the amount of damage enemies deal to you, but only while you’re in the Realm of Shadow. In addition to that, you can also find Revered Spirit Ash blessings, which can be turned in the same way, but these will instead increase the amount of damage dealt by your spirit summons. While I didn’t get to explore the optional paths as much as I would have liked in my three hours of playtime, I still managed to find plenty of brand new weapons, talismans, armor sets, cookbooks and crafting guides, and even an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. The new weapons were very cool too, with some really unique properties and ******* arts that made them behave quite differently from anything in the main game. The Heavy Smithscript Axe, for instance, could be thrown with a press of the heavy ******* button, without any sort of cost or resource tied to it, making it very effective both at a distance and close up. The Milady ******* art puts you into a stance with your arm stretched out to the side, and from the stance you can do a number of cool follow-ups, like a leaping and lunging stab that’s very reminiscent of one of Malenia’s attacks. The Backhand Blade actually can be split into two swords when you dual wield it and has a super ***** ******* skill that has you dashing to an ******’s side for a stab to their ribs. I felt like I accomplished a lot in my three hours of playtime with Shadow of the Erdtree, but even then, it still felt like there was so much left on the table. Right when my time ended, I was just about to explore a path marked by another one of Miquella’s crosses that led down into what seemed like one of FromSoftware’s famous poison swamps, and just by listening in on other players at the event, it was clear that I missed at least one other dungeon with a seemingly exciting boss ****** that I’m very much looking forward to attempting myself. Fortunately the wait isn’t much longer now as Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is set to release on June 21. Mitchell Saltzman is a senior guides producer at IGN.

Yes, I've played a portion of Elden Ring's expansion Shadow Of The Erdtree and I think it's brilliant. But there's one thing I didn't flesh out in the preview and that's the DLC's standalone levelling system, brought to our attention a month or so ago. Well, here I am to flesh it out! Be warned, though, the role of the system is a jarring thing to condense into words. Read more View the full article

When I found out that FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki wasn't going to be able to talk to me at 3 pm as initially planned, I couldn't believe my luck. Good luck. His busy schedule meant our interview was pushed back by two hours, which meant that I had two more hours to play Shadow of the Erdtree. I spent a whole day sequestered in a media room in FromSoftware's shiny new offices in Tokyo, sitting in front of a PC and jumbo gaming monitor with the whole expansion tantalizingly open in front of me. I defeated its first two major bosses, reached a whole new area, and walked away feeling like I'd seen just a small portion of what this expansion has in store... Read more.View the full article

Deep underground in a frigid ***** system full of pots, I tossed away my wand and spin-kicked a monkey samurai to ******. It was on my second attempt at fighting Demi-Human Swordsman Onze when I realized I'd made a mistake by picking the spellcaster character for my three-hour session with Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Before my three hour session with Shadow of the Erdtree I was warned of two major bosses in the build: a difficult one in the northeast, and an even ******* one in the northwest. It was assumed that I'd make a beeline towards these grand foes, but I did my best to avoid them. Forget the bosses—my most pertinent questions going into Shadow of the Erdtree were: What is the Land of Shadow like? What secrets is it hiding? How many swamps does it have? How much can I glean about its total size?.. Read more.View the full article

It’s understandable if you have high expectations for Shadow of the Erdtree. I do, too. FromSoftware’s monumental action RPGs never cease to amaze, and Elden Ring had a shattering impact on the gaming industry when it launched in 2022, snagging Game of the Year and instantly becoming a favorite for many gamers—myself included. So, I hope you can imagine my excitement when I was among the lucky few invited to play Shadow of the Erdtree at Bandai Namco’s preview event in Paris. Now, after three hours with Elden Ring’s first and only expansion, I’m confident it won’t just meet our expectations but will raise the bar for post-launch content and proudly claim the top spot as FromSoftware’s best expansion yet.

Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC beckons the Tarnished back to the Lands Between for another slice of epic adventure, promising not just nigh-insurmountable bosses, but to fill in the tantalising backstory of the demigod Miquella, the last child of Marika missing from Elden Ring’s main game. Shadow of the Erdtree’s story follows the Tarnished to the mysterious Lands of Shadow, a whole new area said to be about the size of Limgrave including the Weeping Peninsula. But one simple question looms in the run-up to the official release date: how do I actually start Elden Ring's new DLC? In short, there are two key bosses that you need to have defeated to access the DLC area, and they’re a fair way into the base game. Here's what you need to do. Read more View the full article

It’s been more than two years since the release of Elden Ring, a considerably long time for DLC to follow. So although the open world action RPG is FromSoftware’s biggest game to date, with many players still combing for its secrets and besting its fiercest bosses, those of us who haven’t returned since launch may be feeling just a little rusty. That’s not necessarily a contributing factor for why Shadow of the Erdtree, the game’s only expansion and the largest expansion the studio has ever made, feels like a considerable step up in difficulty. But it certainly wants players to be well-equipped to brave its challenges, considering you’ll need to have not only defeated Starscourge Radhan but also Mogh, Lord of Blood, a powerful optional boss not everyone will easily discover the first time around. Given that the preset builds available for our recent hands-on all started at Level 150, which is where most of us reached by the time we were able to take down the Elden ******, I would hazard a guess that most players will want to have reached the endgame before making their way into the Land of Shadow.
