Addons are a crucial part of World of Warcraft. Not only can you use them to help you during intensive dungeon and raid encounters, but there are addons for basically anything—auction house, professions, and gear. Patch 10.2.7 could change that. According to a dataminer, Patch 10.2.7 could be the end of addons as you know it. They discovered addon comms are “severely rate-limited server-side” in the current version of Patch 10.2.7 (currently live on the PTR). This should render plenty of addons useless, namely TRP3, a roleplaying addon that allows players to create their own profiles that others can see and interact with. The loading speed of this addon should now last between 20 and 90 seconds, and it could take longer in areas like Goldshire. View the full article

Farm Folks developers Crytivo have come under heavy backlash on social media today after asking fans for feedback on “******* jiggle physics,” with many once-eager fans condemning the post as a very weird joke for a cozy farming sim game. Community involvement will always be a double-edged sword for devs. However, many would agree there would be more appropriate ways to start discussions on character appearances than asking which of three videos has perfect “jiggle physics” on X (formerly Twitter), especially when your upcoming game has a target audience that is made up mostly of women—but that’s exactly what Crytivo did today. The original post has now been deleted, but KotakuInAction shared screenshots of the tweet on April 29. View the full article
Let's remove the mystery from the headline. Three Mass Effect games are going for next to nothing right now on PC, and you need to jettison your modern perspective misgivings and take a chance on them. Forget the hot mess that was Mass Effect Andromeda. Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2—and, to a lesser extent, Mass Effect 3—were genre-defining RPGs. The remaster process has made 'em much easier on the optical implants. The writing, world-building, and companion NPC bonds you'll forge, meanwhile, all remain timeless. In retro news, today's a day of sombre remembrance for two consoles. 27 years ago, we witnessed the discontinuance of *****'s Game Gear, a battery-guzzling ****** that sold 10.62M units that I fondly remember for its Sonic games and extravagant TV Tuner attachment. It's also been 22 years since we bade farewell to the Nintendo 64, which delivered phenomenal four-player action, groundbreaking 3D AAAs, and a highscore of 32.93M units sold. I am not shedding a sentimental tear over it. That's just...Control Stick dust in my eye. This Day in Gaming Aussie birthdays for notable games. - Dr. Mario (GB) 1991.

Bethesda's Todd Howard updates fans regarding the Creation Kit, an important feature that will be coming to Starfield soon. Most Bethesda fans are already familiar with the concept of the Creation Kit. When The Elder Scrolls: Skryim launched its Creation Kit, around 2,500 mods were available in just a week's time. Since it allows for easier modification of game files, creators have more flexibility in-game. This is partly the reason why Starfield fans are highly excited about its introduction to the game.

Some Guardians have a ritual before new Destiny 2 content drops, and we’re no different: We have a preparation checklist for each season, and we’re using ours this time to keep track of what to do before The Final Shape. New content launches such as seasons generally bring a lot of moving parts, and expansions have an even wider scope. Because of that, it never hurts to be prepared to enjoy the new activities when they launch, instead of having to worry about vault space or resource scarcity. View the full article
Since the launch of the Fallout series, players have been able to explore different corners of the unforgiving nuclear wasteland that was once the ******* States, and Todd Howard says you shouldn’t expect to cross those borders any time soon. In a recent interview with Kinda Funny Games host Greg Miller, head of Bethesda and the Fallout series Todd Howard responded to a question about considering other locations outside the U.S., and while he didn’t outright completely dismiss the idea, he did suggest doing so would rob the franchise of one of its core components.

When you begin the announcement for your new game with "From the creators of Paradise *******..." you get our attention. When you follow it up with the reveal that this is a collaboration with Ikumi Nakamura and Mai Mattori, handling concept and art direction, you get us excited. And you finally reveal that the game in question is about an exiled Yakuza member who now has to run a mascot agency, you get us...well, just insert the meme of Krieger from Archer here. You know the one.

Gaming peripheral manufacturer Razer has agreed to a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after allegedly misleading customers about the effectiveness of their Zephyr face masks. The FTC alleges that Razer falsely advertised the Zephyr as an N95-grade mask, offering protection against COVID-19 it couldn’t deliver. As part of a proposed settlement, Razer will be required to pay $1.1 million in refunds to consumers who purchased the Zephyr mask. According to the FTC, Razer never obtained the necessary certifications to make these claims. N95 masks must undergo rigorous testing via multiple government agencies, and that wasn’t the case for Razer’s face mask. View the full article
In its quarterly earnings presentation, Remedy Entertainment shared an update on its remake of Max Payne 1 and 2, as well as the news that Tencent has nearly tripled its investment in the studio. In a report for shareholders, Remedy announced that Max Payne 1 & 2 remake is expected to move into "full production" during Q2 of 2024 (April through June of 2024). Additionally, Codename Kestrel — Remedy's upcoming multiplayer action game formerly known as Vanguard — is still in the concept stage. Elsewhere, the Control 2 team is finalizing its proof of concept and is expected to advance to the "production readiness stage" during Q2. Codename Condor, a multiplayer game set in the Control universe, is in "the final development stage before a game is launched," or full production. With all these games in the cooker, Remedy has received a new infusion of cash from existing stakeholder Tencent. Previously, Tencent acquired a ********* (3.8%) stake in Remedy that it later upped to 5%. Today, Remedy announced that Tencent increased its stake again to 14.8%, nearly triple what it was prior. A busy year for Remedy It was a busy ******* for Remedy. The company fully acquired rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games, and is currently discussing future partnerships and business and publishing models, including self-publishing. Alan Wake 2 sold 1.3 million units as of the start of February, and Remedy says today that the game has recouped "a significant part" of its expenses. The company additionally announced today that its COO Christopher Schmitz is resigning, and that long-time Remedy veteran and Control game director Mikael Kasurinen is being appointed as a company-wide creative director. Remedy's revenue for the quarter was up 56.2% year-over-year to €10.8 million ($11.6 million). Two planned expansions for Alan Wake 2 are currently in the works, one entitled Night Springs, and a second entitled The Lakehouse. Neither has a release date just yet.

Bethesda fans won’t have to wait much longer before they finally get their hands on Starfield’s first expansion, Shattered Space, and there is even more content on the way, too. Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard updated fans wih more information on post-launch content during an interview with Kinda Funny. When talking about how Starfield will be fleshed out throughout the year, he teased that Shattered Space is scheduled to launch this fall. Details on Shattered Space remain a mystery, though some fans speculate that it will focus on House Va'ruun. In an interview with IGN last year, Howard promised plans to add “a lot of add-on content,” going on to suggest that the team was looking forward to fleshing out Starfield with future updates, too. In the near term, Bethesda is continuing to deliver smaller updates that should address fan feedback and iron out a few wrinkles. Howard says the next update should be “announced in a few days” before it’s available on Steam Beta. “It’s got some great stuff for ship building as well,” he added. Howard also teases another “big update” that is “coming really soon for Starfield.” Details on what changes it will bring are uncertain, though the Bethesda boss does tease long-asked-for tweaks for the in-game maps. "We redid the map stuff, so we have some city map stuff," he says. More info on the Starfield Creation Kit "soon" Elsewhere, Howard touched on the Starfield Creation Kit. Bethesda has offered similar creation tools in the past, allowing players to more freely mod their games and ensure long legs after launch. He didn’t go as far as to announce a release date but did reassure players that it is still on the way. “We’ve delivered it to some people, some of our creators for Starfield,” Howard said. “You’re going to hear some information about that soon. We don’t have date to announce on when its full release is coming, but it’s really, really important to us. Our modders out there have been incredible.” Bethesda brought Starfield to PC and Xbox Series X | S players last September. In our 7/10 review, we explained that we enjoyed the long-awaited space RPG but had a few gripes. “Starfield has a lot of forces working against it,” we said at the time, “but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist.” Bethesda has continued to churn out updates for Starfield since its launch. March brought a pair of worthwhile changes, including lots of quality-of-life improvements in Update 1.10.30 as well as the removal of the lockpicking penalty with Update 1.10.31. If the official updates aren’t enough to keep you satisfied until Shattered Space launches, you can check out one of Starfield’s DLC-sized mods. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.

After four long years of waiting, it seems that Fortnite players in the ********* Union will soon be able to enjoy the game across all Apple mobile devices. Fortnite's Battle Royale game mode was released in September 2017, and not too long after, it became available on mobile devices. To promote Fortnite's mobile version, Epic Games and Samsung joined forces in 2018 and gave away the Galaxy skin for anyone who played the game on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Many players ended up downloading Fortnite on their mobile devices, not only for practical reasons but also so they could check out the Item Shop or the Quests tab while away from their other devices.
