Back in 2012, Kosmos published the cooperative strategy board game Legends of Andor. In this dice rolling fantasy adventure, players embark on a quest to save the titular kingdom of Andor. It has nothing to do with Roguish Star Wars rebel Cassian Andor, nor is it in any way related to the Hungarian economist László Andor. All the same, it's a solid time, particularly when it's available for less than $20. Read the rest of the story...

Dropping down is the easiest way to reach the generator, but there are a few available doors that will lead you to the location as well. If you drop down from the top, make sure to land on the generator to avoid taking any damage. Generator in ARC Raiders.

You can loot the map for wires as well, but it's easier if you bring it along. Once you repair the generator, the wires will be consumed. Take the southernmost door at the end of the wall, and it will lead you to a set of stairs. Open the door at the end of the stairs, and turn left.

In so many sci-fi settings, from Mass Effect to Warhammer 40k, humanity always plays the underdog. We just have this strange assumption that humanity's first contact with aliens involves said xenos invading us. Yet reality on our dirt ball of water shows that humanity sits atop the food chain, and in many ways, we are not benevolent rulers. So what happens when humanity encounters the non-human, and decides to conquer them? That is the question Human No More seeks to answer. Read the rest of the story...

Lieutenant Titus from Space Marine 2 has become one of the most recognizable faces in all Warhammer 40,000 following the enormous success of the video game. We’ve already seen Games Workshop double-down on the Ultramarines hero with merch, an appearance in the Warhammer 40,000 episode of Amazon's animated anthology, Secret Level, and various cameos across the setting. But now things have leveled up — not just for Titus as a Space Marine, but his place in the ongoing Warhammer 40,000 narrative. This week, Games Workshop unveiled Captain Demetrian Titus, Master of the Watch, which means Titus has had a much-deserved promotion since the now canon events of Space Marine 2 and Secret Level. Titus is once again Captain of the Ultramarines Second Company, a position he had already held before he was taken into custody on suspicion of heresy by the Inquisition after the events of the first Space Marine game. What does Titus' promotion mean for Sevastus Acheran, the former captain of the Second Company and Master of the Watch who we see in Space Marine 2? Let’s be real here: he’s probably dead. I guess he couldn’t spare enough men. For Titus, his promotion comes with ******* and tougher responsibilities: he’s been put in charge of defending the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, the realm of Space Marine poster boys, the Ultramarines. With Primarch Roboute Guilliman off gallivanting with his Indomitus Crusade, Titus is now in charge of keeping things safe and sound back home, where new Necron threats have emerged, as they always do. Games Workshop released a new trailer, below, to hype up this narrative expansion, and it features Titus front and center as he accepts his new job title and what he calls his “impossible mission.” He’s had an eye-catching glow up since we last saw him, and he has a cool new model for use in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game to boot. Titus is joined by friends his fans will know well: Ancient Gadriel from Space Marine 2, and Veteran Sergeant Metaurus from Secret Level (he lives!). 500 Worlds: Titus is the name for the next major narrative expansion for Warhammer 40,000. According to a post on Warhammer Community, that includes a set of four books that will tell the story of the Ultramarian Reclamation and the embattled Vespator Front, where Titus and the Ultramarines Second Company "are locked in a desperate struggle against a Necron force rife with the Destroyer curse." This is a big moment for Titus but also the Space Marine video game franchise. It is evidence of the importance of the character to Warhammer 40,000, and the seismic impact Space Marine 2 has had on the setting. Speaking to IGN at gamescom 2025, Tim Willits, development chief at Saber Interactive, said Space Marine 2’s popularity had opened the door to the grimdark Warhammer 40,000 setting for an army of new fans who weren't necessarily clued up about the intricacies of the universe. “I heard that lots of people now think that Thousand Sons are the only Chaos faction because that's what we had in the game,” Willits said, reflecting on Space Marine 2’s first year. “And so people are like, ‘Oh, I guess Thousand Sons, they're Chaos.’ It's like, ‘Actually no it's not.’ They're actually just a small faction. But people are just like, ‘That's the one I played against.’” This assumption about Chaos extends to the Space Marines themselves. The Ultramaines — the chapter used by Games Workshop itself when introducing newcomers to the tabletop via starter sets — are the protagonists of the Space Marine 2 campaign, although many other factions are available to play as in the PvE and PvP modes. “People have assumptions about the Warhammer 40,000 universe that are not correct,” Willits continued. “Like Thousand Sons being the only Chaos faction. That is kind of humorous. And like, ‘Oh Space Marines are only blue!’ That has been quite humorous to be honest, which is good for us.” One of the big questions going into the already confirmed Space Marine 3 is whether Saber will venture beyond the Ultramarines and the Thousand Sons in terms of the next campaign. The story seems to set up the addition of the Necrons, which at this point probably wouldn't come as much of a surprise for Space Marine 3. But could other Space Marine chapters also appear? Perhaps other Chaos factions, too? We asked Willits about Space Marine 3, but he remained tight-lipped. But now Titus is firmly back in the fold, we have to wonder, what does the overly suspicious Chaplain Leandros think? He spent pretty much the entirety of Space Marine 2 threatening to end poor Titus at the first sign of corruption, and even after Titus’ heroics, a commendation from Chapter Master Marneus Calgar, and what some think was a word of encouragement from the Emperor himself, Leandros remained unconvinced. If Titus manages to complete this impossible task and defend the 500 worlds, will he finally win Leandros over? Somehow I doubt it. All of this probably feeds into Space Marine 3 in some way. Assuming Space Marine 3 picks up after the events of 500 Worlds, we may well see Titus lead armies into battle, rather than a single squad. Wesley is Director, News at IGN.

Sometimes games allow us to fulfill our wildest fantasies in much more convenient and simplified ways.

If there are two things the indie tabletop gaming scene adores, it's soulslikes and roguelikes. From Nine Sols to Darkest Dungeons, gamers just love giving themselves a hard time. Still, that experience has been hard to recreate on the tabletop solo. After all, the most popular TTRPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons tend towards teamplay. Which if you've played a game of DnD before, also has its fair share of headaches. The upcoming soulslike RPG, Cryptborn, aims to solve that solo issue, preferably with lots of blood and bones.
