What are Hades 2 Chaos Trials? Hades 2 gives players plenty of tools to change the way each run plays out, but if you're looking to drastically alter your experience, you're going to want to look for Chaos Trials.

Chaos. Spectacle. Anarchy. When you think back to your best ever Battlefield moments, it's the sheer bedlam of EA's shooter that always stands out. Planes soar overhead, vehicles explode and flip over all around you, one guy accidentally detonates his own C4, and wipes your squad. Imagine you could capture the spirit of that multiplayer mayhem, and cross it with the weighty melee combat of Tekken 8 or Street Fighter 5. Available to try right now, a colorful new brawler manages exactly that. This is the pandemonium of online games as expressed through the clenched fist. Read the rest of the story...

Prepare yourself to battle deadly enemies in exchange for some materials. That sounds like a fair exchange of goods! Here is how to enter The Pit of Artificers in Diablo 4.What is The Pit of Artificers in Diablo 4?The Pit of Artificers is one of the several new mechanics introduced during Season 4 of Diablo 4. This Tier 46 Nightmare Dungeon will have you beat Level 100 enemies to be “invited” by The Pit’s boss. This sounds all good, but the trick is that you will have to do so in less than 10 minutes so you can receive Masterworking materials to Masterwork your item, which is an endgame upgrading mechanic.While the goal is to do all of this before the 10-minute mark, you will also unlock higher-tier versions of The Pit of Artificers and an increasingly larger number of materials. However, be careful and tread lightly since any ****** will punish you with a time penalty of up to 90 seconds – depending on how many times you ****.Diablo 4: How to ente...View the full article

***** by Daylight turns eight today, and to celebrate the milestone, Behaviour Interactive held its anniversary stream to share new details on updates headed to the asymmetrical horror game. This includes an official reveal of a new game mode, details on the previously teased D&D chapter, and updates on its upcoming spinoff projects. But if you missed it, don't worry. We break down every announcement from the ***** by Daylight 8th Anniversary Stream below: ***** by Daylight's 2V8 mode officially announced ***** by Daylight fans, your wish has been granted: a 2V8 mode is coming. As the name implies, this game mode will have two killers facing off against eight survivors, and will include a larger map to accommodate the increase in players. However, this won't be a rehash of the previous game mode, as the developer confirmed that Perks will not be available in 2V8; instead, it will be replaced with a Class system. Because the community has highly requested the 2V8 mode, Behaviour revealed that its initial launch would be a building block for tweaks and adjustments based on community feedback. Behaviour plans to share more details on 2V8 mode in July, with a late summer release window. Dungeons & Dragons chapter coming to ***** by Daylight next month After teasing a D&D-themed crossover in ***** by Daylight last week, Behaviour Interactive has finally made a proper reveal for the next licensed chapter. This new chapter, which launches on June 3, will introduce Vecna as a new *******, who will have four spells available to his playstyle: Fly, Flight of the Damned, Mage Hand, and Dispelling Sphere. At the same time, the two survivors are male and female Bard characters: Baermar Uraz, a human male, and Aestri Yazar, a female elf. Regardless of which gender you choose, this new survivor has three unique perks: Mirror Illusion, Bardic Inspiration, and Still Sight. Alongside new playable characters, the next chapter will introduce a new map inspired by the D&D franchise. The Forgotten Ruins is a new dungeon-themed map that serves as a home to Vecna after he finds himself mysteriously transported into The Fog. Alongside an expansive main floor is an extensive underground component filled with horrific experiments and secrets to discover. For those interested in trying the new chapter early, it is available on the ***** by Daylight Public Test server today. ***** by Daylight spinoff The Casting of Frank Stone gets new trailer, but no release date Last year, Behaviour announced it was expanding the ***** by Daylight franchise by announcing two new games set in the same universe. One of them was The Casting of Frank Stone, a new narrative-driven game from Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games. An official reveal came last December during The Game Awards, and today's anniversary stream provided another look at the game. The new trailer reveals that the game is set in 1980 and focuses on a group of friends who are on a quest to make their own horror film. Though we still do not have a firm release date, today's trailer doubles down the fact that The Casting of Frank Stone is still targeting to release sometime this year. ***** by Daylight's upcoming PvE shooter, codenamed Project T, is launching an Insider Program The second of two previously announced spinoffs, Behaviour shared new details about its unannounced PvE game, codenamed Project T.

Project T still doesn't have a release window. Still, Behaviour revealed that it is launching an Insider Program, allowing players interested in the spinoff to become active in its development cycle. The insider program will include incentives, such as access to closed playtests. What the Fog is a new rougouelite ***** by Daylight spinoff for PC While fans previously knew about the other two spinoff games, Behaviour added a third one to the mix: a 2-person co-op roguelite game called What the Fog.
