Even for a seasoned gamer, acclaimed CRPG Baldur’s Gate 3 can be devilishly difficult—but what if it was downright soul-crushing? One streamer sought to find out and has now beaten Baldur’s Gate 3 using the strictest possible set of self-imposed rules. This isn’t your average D&D campaign. BG3 streamer Luality has previously completed challenge runs such as beating the entire game solo and smiting Raphael in a single turn, but this latest feat puts all of those to shame, making her worthy of the Crown of Karsus.

Earlier this year, we were all pleasantly surprised when the first-ever Triple-i Initiative showcase concluded with the unveiling of The Rogue Prince of Persia, a fresh take on the classic franchise coming courtesy of a collaboration between Ubisoft and ***** Cells DLC developers Evil Empire. It was a bold idea for a roguelike action game, set to make its Early Access debut on May 14...but then another little Early Access roguelike game called Hades II came out, and with this already being a busy month for gaming as is, Evil Empire made the decision to postpone the game until later in the month. Later has finally arrived, though, and The Rogue Prince of Persia is now available in Early Access on Steam and via GeForce Now as of today. View the full article

In 2019, it was first unveiled that legendary auteur game developers SWERY and Suda51 would, after all the time, finally be collaborating on a game together known as Hotel Barcelona. The game finally made its official debut last year during the Tokyo Game Show, with a stylish trailer giving us our first look at the gameplay, which seems about as delightfully insane as one would expect from a project between these two legends. And at this weekend's INDIE Live Expo, where a demo was on display, it was also revealed that the official Steam page for the game went live, complete with a new trailer for the game over there that you can check out, where you can also wishlist the game and check out all the details on it in one handy spot.

Konami has announced that a Silent Hill Transmission will take place on Thursday, May 30, at 4pm PT/7pm ET that will reveal game updates, a "deeper look at the film," and new merch. This second Silent Hill Transmission was announced on X/Twitter with no further hints as to what we'll see, but thankfully our wait for answers isn't too long. "Consider this your invitation letter to Silent Hill," the official Silent Hill X/Twitter account wrote. "Tune in May 30 at 4 p.m. PDT to our SILENT HILL YouTube channel for the second installment of the #SILENTHILL Transmission where we'll share game updates, a deeper look at the film, and new merch. #SILENTHILL" The first Silent Hill Transmission took place on October 19, 2022, and included such big reveals as the Silent Hill 2 Remake, the spinoff from No Code Studios called Silent Hill: Townfall, a narrative driven spinoff set in 1960s Japan called Silent Hill f, the immersive project called Silent Hill: Ascension, and the movie titled Return to Silent Hill. Silent Hill 2 Remake is being developed by Bloober Team and it was given a new trailer back in January 2024 but no release date. Sony may have, however, revealed in a separate trailer featuring a few of its upcoming games that it would be arriving sometime in 2024. We haven't been given any updates on the other two games, but Silent Hill: Ascension did come out in 2023. Unfortunately, it wasn't the "triumphant return to Silent Hill we've been longing for." As for Return to Silent Hill, we just got a look at the film's version of Pyramid Head back on May 16. This new film that is an adaptation of Silent Hill 2, is being directed by the director of the original Silent Hill movie from 2006, Christophe Gans. The film will follow "James (Jeremy Irvine), a man broken after being separated from his one true love (Hannah Emily Anderson). When a mysterious letter calls him back to Silent Hill in search of her, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil" and "terrifying figures both familiar and new."

There's been a decent surge of new discounts overnight. Chief among them has got to be a new historic low for the console versions of Dragon's Dogma II, an ARPG that scored well and sold beyond Capcom's expectations. I'm also all about that $39 pricepoint for distant relatives Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and *********'s Creed Mirage. The latter is worth it for the amazing '80s training montage alone. I'm also going to take some intro space to inform my fellow Meta Quest 3 owners about some great deals. The rather expensive Meta Quest 3 Charging Dock, Carrying Case, and Facial Interface Head Strap are all 30% off right now.

May 30 will mark yet another free game giveaway on the Epic Games Store, but what has the potential to be an exceptional gift may be soured by recent developments.

When CS2 was released, many things were missing, but the absence of one map was particularly felt. Cache, one of the most popular maps in CS:GO, is yet to return to Valve’s latest series entry, but the map’s creator FMPONE has released another update on the port’s progress. After confirming that a Source 2 port of Cache was in the works, Shawn “FMPONE” Snelling didn’t share much with players aside from a few placeholder screenshots. But today, we finally got a relatively complete look of Mid and a first look at the A ***** site on the updated version of Cache. Mid looks nice and sun-bathed, though the yellow is much less pronounced than when Snelling first shared his work-in-progress images, while the A site looks nearly identical to that of the previous version, albeit with a nice facelift. Source 2, even when things are unfinished, just looks so gorgeous and colorful compared to before. View the full article
