  1. MOUZ’s young international squad keeps going from strength to strength in CS2, and with a second 3-0 final under their belt in quick succession, they achieved something the org has never done before: becoming number one in the HLTV rankings. Shortly after defending their ESL Pro League title, MOUZ were straight back in the action at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade, an event with lesser prestige but a nevertheless notable $500,000 prize pool and some big-name opponents in their way.

  2. One creative Elden Ring player has recently decided to role-play as Santa Claus for an invasion. While his experiment yielded mixed results, it added to the ever-growing list of memorable multiplayer shenanigans that Elden Ring players have conjured up to date. View the full article
  3. The Mines in Stardew Valley are an important part of the game, and one player's suggestion could meaningfully expand on the core concept. While farming is the primary gameplay loop in Stardew Valley, it's hardly the only way to make money, as fishing and mining provide an excellent source of income in the early game. Furthermore, exploring the Mines and the Skull Cavern is an excellent source of ore, a necessary material for upgrading the player's tools. View the full article
  4. Douglas Goodall, a quest designer for Morrowind, is once again working on the classic Bethesda game through the power of mods. While it's been more than 20 years since Goodall actually worked at Bethesda, the game designer has been back at work on Morrowind, having worked on a mod for the game that features an all new storyline (thanks, GamesRadar). Goodall has been working on the mod under the pseudonym AFFA, where he's been serving as a writer for it. The mod in question is titled Red Wisdom - An Ashlandr Prophecy, and sees you embarking "on a mystical journey as you unravel the ancient prophecy of Red Wisdom. Join forces with wide-eyed Nirani to unlock the hidden truths that lie within the sacred burial sites of the tribes. Explore a new angle to Ashlander lore, confront wild beasts and Daedric interlopers, and piece together the puzzle which may shape the fate of Morrowind." Some of the features of the mod listed include the ability to "explore a brand new grotto used by the Ahemmusa tribe to 'bury' their *****" and "visit the exterior burial sites of the Erabenimsun and Zainab tribes." You'll also be able to collect "four elemental-themed Ashlander trinkets" all which have custom art, as well as experience "new Ashlander lore through the trials of a young Wise Woman apprentice." It sounds like a pretty impressive mod overall, and the fact it has an original Morrowind designer attached to it certainly adds something special to it too. Read more View the full article
  5. Palworld is teasing some major announcements for the game to come later this year, hinting at new Pals and upcoming features being added to the game. The monster-catching survival game from developer Pocket Pair has been one of the biggest breakout hits of 2024, with Palworld selling tens of millions of copies just months after its launch. The game has also seen consistent updates since its debut, adding new gameplay mechanics like Raids and more Pals to the game. Now, even more is set to be revealed for the game this summer.

  6. Skull and Bones had a strange road to launch, with Ubisoft's quadruple-A branding of the title landing with a thud, rather than a bang. After years of delayed release windows, the pirate RPG might not be for everyone, but it does appear to be a success for Ubisoft - whether you like it or not. Now, ahead of Skull and Bones Season 2's launch, Ubisoft thanks players for their support. Read the rest of the story...

  7. MultiVersus fans are expressing their discontent over a change to character portraits from the beta version of the game. With the full launch of Warner Brothers' platform fighter fast approaching, anticipation for MultiVersus is steadily rising, though that isn't stopping players from calling out certain changes in the game they aren't fond of.

  8. There are three types of items in Hades 2; Reagents, Greeneries, and Indulgences. Reagents and Greeneries are ingredients that Melino can use in the Cauldron. Found at the Crossroads, the Cauldron lets Melino craft Incantations; special spells that unlock important tools, resources, or areas for Melino. View the full article
  9. Xbox will soon let you pre-download game updates before their scheduled release so you can make your life just that little bit easier. Look, in this day and age, we all know game updates are a necessary thing, but that doesn't make them any less annoying. I'm not gonna do that whole thing of "remember when you could just pop a game in and it would just be ready to play, no installing, no downloading" but I do miss those days. However, I do appreciate when my life is made easier when it comes to those annoying fiddly bits. For example, Microsoft has announced that you'll soon be able to pre-download updates for games before they're meant to be out, a feature that'll surely be welcome for fans of online games in particular. The feature is actually already available to Xbox Insider members, with the Xbox Update Preview released on the Alpha ring as of a few days ago. "Games that enable support for update pre-download will allow updates to be downloaded days before they are scheduled to release, so you can jump in and start playing right when the update goes live," reads a description for the feature. To be clear, that means this won't be the case for every game, so don't get **** at me when the main title in your rotation doesn't work with this feature. Read more View the full article

  11. The whereabouts of the Triforce in Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been a sticking point for some, but one player might have found it, sort of. While the Triforce is obviously the most recognisable symbols from the Zelda series, it isn't always all that important to the main story of certain games. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were two such games, both of which did feature the Triforce symbol in certain locations of the respective games, but the thing itself didn't actually make an appearance. It's barely even referred to in the game, in fact there probably aren't many Zelda games where the Triforce feels as unimportant as it does. However, as spotted by GamesRadar, a user on Reddit found something interesting. As you can see in the post shared to the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit above, there are a trio of images showing Tears of the Kingdom's three dragons, Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh. And interestingly, as described by TheMathNut, the user that shared the pictures, "about half way up on each elemental dragon is a piece of the Triforce. I thought it was neat since I always thought the three dragons symbolised the three goddesses." Unsurprisingly, this post has proven to be popular on the game's subreddit, given that this little Easter Egg is a bit of a hard one to spot - I've spent plenty of time farming scales on those dragons' backs, and never noticed it.

  12. Gen.G triumphed over Bilibili Gaming at the 2024 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational grand final in Chengdu, qualifying for Worlds along the way. The LCK top dog’s rematch with the LPL first seed was already poised to be epic, and the 3-1 victory from Gen.G proved to be historic. Among the storylines that thrilled Gen.G fans, Chovy’s first international win was the crown jewel. However, every member of the LCK team brought something extraordinary to the series, making this victory not just epic but legendary. Canyon, the jungler for Gen.G, celebrated his first MSI win, joining the ranks of players who have won both regional and international titles. Their top laner, Kiin, rose from the last place of his regional tournament to the peak of international competition. View the full article
  13. Destiny 2 streamers are reporting a new bug when playing Trials of Osiris, a game-breaking one that is causing complete crashes when users send friend requests. While Destiny 2 is in a pretty good state at the moment in terms of player engagement, bugs and glitches continue to present a challenge, a common concern for most live service games due to the constant patching and updating.

  14. A Reddit user has noted that the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree trailer suggests the new DLC location is in the sky and it's inverted. As Elden Ring players eagerly await the June release of the long-anticipated and only DLC, one observant fan has analyzed Bandai Namco's teaser and discovered that the new setting might hold more surprises than expected.

  15. Image: Samar Haddad / The Verge As video games and movies become more immersive, it may start to become apparent what sensations are missing in the experience. Is there a point in Gran Turismo that you wish you could smell the burning rubber and engine exhaust? Would an experience playing ***** pong in Horizon Worlds not be complete unless you could taste the hops? On this episode of The Vergecast, the latest in our miniseries about the five senses of video games, we’re tackling the topics of smell and taste in video games — and whether either could actually enhance the virtual experience for gamers. In other words: Smellovision is back for a new generation of media. First, we try out a product (actually available to buy today) called the GameScent, an AI-powered...

  16. ***** By Daylights newest ******* is Vecna, as part of a crossover with famous TTRPG Dungeons and Dragons.

  17. The Nellis Air Force Base is one of many notable locations in Fallout: New Vegas and is located on the northeast part of the map. The compound is the base of the Boomers tribe and is isolated from the rest of the wasteland. Outsiders are not welcome and will be ******* on sight. Reaching such a heavily guarded location in one piece can be tricky. Luckily, the game supplies players with two ways to successfully access the Nellis Air Force Base. View the full article
  18. Earlier this month, fighting game players across the US learned that the Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive hotel was to close suddenly, pulling the rug out from under the upcoming CEOtaku tournament. This sucks for a variety of reasons, obviously. At a base level, a lot of hotel staff are getting ***** off. For the attendees of CEOTaku, it will force a sudden change in travel plans, and the organizers must now undergo the expensive process of tracking down and securing a new venue on short notice. But more than that, it means that one of the last remaining in-person gaming subcultures is losing a home of sorts. The Wyndham Orlando Resort IDrive has been the home of CEO and attendees events since 2011. That's over a decade of in-person gaming events, slowly growing and morphing alongside the wider gaming industry around it. CEO stands for Community Effort Orlando, a fitting name for a tournament salvaged from the wreckage of a last-minute cancellation that forced founder Alex Jebailey and Florida natives to come together and play video games despite the circumstances. Since these fledgling beginnings, CEO and Wyndham Orlando IDrive have been tied by the hip, but for the past few years it's remained a home to CEO's anime fighter sister event CEOtaku. "I am personally devastated," states founder of CEO Alex Jebailey. "It's very hard to find venues that you create a genuine relationship with as they were the first hotel to give CEO a chance back in 2011. My first thoughts were the employees and staff that have taken care of CEO over the years to which I hope they bounce back with other opportunities. It began with Lisa in 2011 helping me understand how hotel contracts work, AV media giving me more than fair pricing on AV and Divya, who I will forever be grateful for handling my contracts since about 2014 there who always helped where I needed it."

  19. Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone is definitely feeling some pressure over fans expectations of Haunted Chocolatier, but it's not weighing too heavily on him. Back in 2021, Barone announced Haunted Chocolatier, the acclaimed indie developer's second game that even over two years since its reveal (no, I don't know how that much time has passed either) it hasn't really been shown in action all that much. There have been some screenshots shown here and there, but mostly fans have been kept busy with Stardew Valley's recent 1.6 update. In a recent interview with Aftermath, though, Barone spoke about what's next following this update, including some discussions about Haunted Chocolatier. "[Fan expectation] definitely puts pressure on me, but it's better to have a delayed game that's actually good than a bad game that's on time," Barone said of working on Haunted Chocolatier. "When it's ready, that's when I'll release it. I'm not too concerned with the pressure. I don't feel like I owe anyone anything when it comes to Haunted Chocolatier. It's a game that I'm deciding to make. I don't need to make it." Read more View the full article
  20. While Helldivers 2 players have been mostly efficient at dealing with Terminids and Automatons, the ultimate price for ******** must be paid now. The arrival of a new faction ****** faction has been anticipated for weeks, and it looks like Arrowhead is finally getting ready to lift the veil on a deadly interstellar foe. Now, a new Helldivers 2 Major Order is underway. Read the rest of the story...

  21. Renowned streamer Kai Cenat recently shared his thoughts on Elden Ring after completing a six-day Twitch marathon. The event started with a Hollywood-quality teaser trailer featuring Cenat alongside two iconic Elden Ring characters: Malenia and her adversary, Let Me Solo Her. Despite being a first-time player, Cenat committed to staying on stream until he completed the game, setting the stage for an intense marathon. View the full article
  22. Genshin Impact players finally narrow down the Primogem count for Version 4.7, revealing that the update adds up to a lot more Intertwined Fates than was initially expected. Though open world exploration in Genshin Impact is one of its biggest strengths, the main appeal for most players has always been its colorful cast of characters. This ever-growing roster has added plenty of fan favorites in Fontaine, such as Furina, Neuvillette, and Arlecchino. However, Version 4.7 is expected to have a star-studded cast on the Event Banners, which will demand a hefty sum of Primogems from a majority of Genshin Impact players. View the full article
  23. After claiming Ubisoft purposefully creates controversies around their games to disguise their steep pricing scheme, Asmongold has come under ***** from some of the company’s fans. One X user in particular, after celebrating the passing of YouTuber twomad, wished the same upon Asmongold, who has now responded. The streamer weighed in on the situation surrounding Ubisoft’s upcoming game, *********’s Creed: Shadows. He claimed that Ubisoft purposely creates discourse and controversy so players’ attentions aren’t focused on the company’s sharp prices, which often go to $130 for ultimate editions of its games.

  24. Image: John William Evelyn “I couldn’t walk away from the pen and ink thing,” says John Evelyn, creator of The Collage Atlas, a dreamlike storybook adventure recently released on Steam. The entire game is hand drawn, from tiny flowers and insects to huge buildings and the clouds that float over them. Exploring this world unwraps its dreamlike story, with environments folding out in response to your approach. “I had been drawing for many years before that […] and I’d always draw with ink straight away, without any kind of prior pencil work or sketching,” he says. “I liked all the incidental details and the accidents that come out along the way.” He compares it to improv music — “actually, sometimes it goes horribly wrong!” — but says that the feeling of getting...

  25. Former Archdruid and famous bear Halsin is one of the more popular companions in Baldurs Gate 3 especially after going viral for his romance scene pre-release. Players initially find Halsin in his bear form in the worg pens at the Goblin Camp in Act 1, being harassed by goblins throwing stones at him. Though he eventually becomes a BG3 companion and maintains his wood elf form (unless the player uses his Wild Shape), players arent convinced this is his true identity. View the full article
