Remember when Funcom promised a fix was coming for players sick of getting squished by helicopters in PvP? Well, fix it the developer did. Kinda. Rather than mess with the Ornithopters themselves, the developer simply deployed a patch so "players no longer receive damage when hit by vehicles." As PC Gamer points out, this is fine in theory, as it means you're not only protected by griefers determined to squish you like a bug in PvP, but it also protects you from wiping out on your sandbike, especially if you accidentally send yourself rocketing off the side of a cliff, for instance. And though hundreds of players have upvoted a post on the subreddit that confirms the change, some point out that griefers have simply changed tactics rather than stop griefing altogether. "The[y] need to decrease top speed when using rockets. They need to increase top speed when using thrusters. PvP should be about control, not ganking. You use rockets to take or hold a landmark, not to hunt people. That would solve a ton," said one player. "Scouts shouldn’t have rockets," suggested another. "I’ve killed so many people with them and I shouldn’t be this fast or efficient. Assaults should have the rockets, because they’re slow and need constant input to out manoeuvre someone. Scouts should be storage and scanning." "Is that good? I'm not sure. I think it would have been preferable if both took damage. The Thopter not taking any damage doesn't stop people being annoying with it," added another. They're not wrong. The only thing that can shoot down an Orni is a rocket launcher or Lasguns, but both of those are Tier 6-exclusive weapons and take some time to unlock. It also means you can't expedite fights with NPCs by ramming them with your vehicle, either. But hey, it's better than how it was before, right? We gave Dune: Awakening a Great 8/10 in our review, writing: "Dune: Awakening is an excellent survival MMO that captures Frank Herbet’s sci-fi world incredibly well, mostly to its advantage and occasionally to its detriment. The survival climb from dehydrated peasant to powerful warlord of Arrakis is a joy almost every step of the way, and the story and worldbuilding filled this nerd with absolute joy. "There’s still plenty for Awakening to work on though, as its combat never really hits its stride, the endgame is a bit of a chaotic mess not worth the effort, and there’s quite a few technical bugs yet to be squashed, but even these rough patches felt like tiny desert mice next to the leviathan shai-huluds that are this survival game’s wonderful successes." Dune: Awakening has enjoyed a superb launch, with a 'very positive' user review rating on Steam. Within hours of going live on June 10, Funcom's survival MMO had clocked up over 142,000 concurrent players on Valve's platform, and hit a new high over the weekend of 189,333 players. If all that's got you interested, make sure to check out all the Dune: Awakening classes you can choose from, and keep an eye on our in-progress Dune: Awakening walkthrough for a step-by-step guide to the story. To help you survive on Arrakis, we've got Dune: Awakening resource guides that'll help you find iron, steel, aluminium, and more.

Capcom has announced a Spotlight digital event set for next week, when it will show more of Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Street Fighter 6. The Capcom Spotlight livestream is set for 3pm PT / 11pm *** time on Thursday, June 26, and will last 40 minutes. Capcom said to expect the “latest news” on the company’s upcoming games, as well as interviews with the developers. Specifically, Monster Hunter Wilds fans will get details on Title Update 2, which is set to release at the end of the month. Capcom announced Resident Evil Requiem during Summer Game Fest earlier this month with an eye-catching trailer. IGN went hands-on with Resident Evil Requiem, which lets you play in either first- or third-person. There’s a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, although fans think we’ll also get to play as Leon Kennedy. Pragmata, meanwhile, reemerged at Sony’s State of Play showcase with a new release date, a trailer, and information on what the game actually is. Street Fighter 6 also turned up at SGF to reveal its Year 3 roster of playable DLC characters: Sagat is out this summer, C. Viper this fall, Alex early spring 2026, and finally, Ingrid late spring 2026. The trailer released as part of the announcement included a brief look at Sagat gameplay, so perhaps we’ll see more in the spotlight. Wesley is Director, News at IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

PEAK has a lot of items, and most of the time, when escaping the fog, it's hard to know whether to take one or leave it without knowing what effect it gives out, especially when a lot of things can poison or hurt you, instead of aiding you. So to help everyone out, we have created a list of every item and what it does, so when you find an item you've never seen before, you can give the list a quick CTRL+F scan and find out how useful, or unhelpful, it is. Every item in Peak and how it works A quick note: we might not have found all items and will update the information as we locate them. We also haven't listed all food types, as most of them are fairly easy to find. However, we have noted specific foods where they might have an effect, such as poisonous Mushrooms. On the topic of poisonous mushrooms and finding out if one is poisonous or not, it's difficult as there are so many different mushrooms available. We tend to avoid them ourselves, for safety. But anyway, here is a comprehensive guide to each item you can find, and what they do: ItemType of ItemEffectsFlareMiscWhen thrown, it creates smoke for finding lost teammates and giving a direction.LanternMiscCreates a light source and also stops freezing status effects in a small radius.Bing ***** (Plush)MiscDoes nothing. Required for an achievement.Bugle (Musical Instrument)MiscUsed for an achievement and getting Winterberry through Capybaras in hot springs.CompassMiscKeep track of where you're facing. Mostly useless.Bugle of FriendshipMisc/LegendaryGives every player infinite stamina when used. Lasts for 10 seconds.

When the tragically half-empty hooch barrel of potential that was Capone 'em up strategy Empire Of Sin launched back in late 2020, it also sold a pass pledging two story expansions down the line. The first of these arrived in 2021. Time and more time passed, prompting a union of shaking fists to wave grubby promissory notes scrawled on diner hamburger wrappers and brace themselves for a trampling by the proverbial Pinkerton agents on horseback of continued disappointment. Despite this, that second DLC never materialised. Do not fear the sound you hear. The Pinkerton's have not found you - it is simply the heavy clopping of legal obligations being grudgingly fulfilled. Hunt For Aurora is now available, assuming there's anyone left with the energy to avail it. Read more View the full article

Games are often a labor of love and nowhere is that more true than in single-person development teams. Aurora Games Studio is comprised of a single person who spent six years crafting The Colony: New Haven Chronicles into what it is now. Overhead games are common and so are twin-stick shooters, but there aren't many that combine those two sub-genres alongside an 8-bit pixel art style, and The Colony does that masterfully.
