As every single announcement like this over the past few years has been, it was an incredibly frustrating one that can't be justified. Now, a new report from Bloomberg has shed a bit of light on why it was cancelled, as well as what the game might have been like. Read more View the full article

New Genshin Impact 6.X leaks have emerged, and while they provide a better window for when Varka may be released as a playable character, there is some bad news for players eagerly awaiting his arrival.

Elden Ring Nightreign is, to the surprise of no one, off to a bit of a flying start (even if not everyone is completely in love with it just yet). I have no intention of diving into it just yet, in part because the solo experience doesn't interest me all that much, and I don't really want to be matched up with two other randos that would surely abandon me the moment I forget what my character can do. There isn't a duos option either, the thing I'm actually after, something that was a bit forgotten about during development, but might be coming further down the line. The power of modding always comes through however, as despite only launching yesterday, there's already a seamless co-op mod that allows for duos. Read more View the full article

In fact, I spent quite some time suffering through solo runs when the servers were down, and I realized what's missing for me is that same sense of awe that I got when I first played Elden Ring. Exploring the Lands Between was an expansive and majestic experience, and it gave you a feeling that the world was ******* than anything you could have imagined. View the full article
