The next brutal gauntlet is Disgaea 6 Complete, with a newly announced released date of June 28th. There’s also a new character trailer below, which sets out its stall. Can you survive it? You died. Disgaea 6 Complete bundles the base game together - it launched on Switch and PS4 first - with its character and cosmetic DLC, and its arrival on PC will mean we now have the entire series....
Dishonored is Arkane’s cracking supernatural immersive sneak-o-shooter. The first game with all its DLC is £5.29 right now. It’s lovely. Dear Adam fretted in his Dishonored review that “we may not see its like again for a good while.” Luckily, he was wrong! The Knife Of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches expansions that followed were cracking, for starters. Then came a sequel in 2016, which is £7.49 right now. Adam’s Dishonored 2 review called that “an improvement on the original in almost every way and as close to a masterpiece as anything I’ve played this year....
See, Pentiment’s an adventure game set across 25 years in 16th century Bavaria, and adopts highly stylised graphics that make the whole thing seem like playing a medieval manuscript brought to life. That means a large amount of the game’s text and dialogue are presented in fancy calligraphy appropriate for the time period. Obsidian have shared on Twitter that the choice of stylised or Easy Read fonts will pop up when you first start playing Pentiment, and you’ll be able to turn it on or off in the settings, too....

“Generation shifts are an opportunity to push beyond the boundaries of gaming as we know it today, and this time is no different,” EA chief studios officer Laura Miele said. “Our studios are taking their crazy ambitious ideas and making them real.” So Burnout (and sometimes NFS) devs Criterion are making some shiny cars. BioWare are working on something with a big tree and a whole lot of red lyrium....
My preview build started in the same town I found myself in during my 2019 demo, suggesting this place will act as a kind of hub area in the main game. It’s still full of the same quirky characters as before, but there were plenty of new faces this time to meet as well, from gurning, palm-rubbing shopkeepers to slobbering market goers, as well as a poor bloke who gets mistaken for a child-eating kappa demon by the local kids as he sits out to fish by the pier....
In this guide, we’ll explain how to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus, covering where to find both parts of the Dectus Medallion that you’ll need to use this massive elevator. How to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus in Elden Ring The Grand Lift of Dectus is an enormous construction in the north of Liurnia, the second major region in Elden Ring. It separates Liurnia from the Altus Plateau to the far north....
The official Elden Ring Twitter account popped out the details: “Servers for Elden Ring will undergo maintenance in the next few days to help improve some multiplayer functions,” reads the original tweet. The maintenance period for the Steam version of the game will take place 4-5am GMT, 5-6am CET, 8-9pm PST. Note that the tweet above says CEST and not CET, as subsequent tweets do, but it seems to be a typo....
We also talk about the end of swarms, Matthew’s strange theories about What Remains Of Edith Finch and Call Of Duty, spoil the first season of The Walking Dead, and a lot more. No Cavern Of Lies this week, because I am too much like Abraham Lincoln. You can listen above, or on on Spotify, iTunes, Stitcher, or Pocket Casts. You can find the RSS feed here, and you can discuss the episode on our Discord channel, which has a dedicated room for podcast chat....
The events of Escape From Anti-Escape Island are set after the base game, which covered the first academic year at the world’s only institution to teach young people the art of solving escape rooms. Everything turns dodgy fairly sharpish, however, as your snazzy jet is shot down over Anti-Escape Island. How conveniently inconvenient. The DLC’s new story pits you against five new escape rooms, and includes more music from composer doseone....
EVGA apparently informed Nvidia of their exit strategy back in April 2022, though have only gone public with the news on the eve of the next GeForce generation. They’ll continue selling their existing stock of RTX 30 series models, and will keep parts on hand for replacements and warranty fulfilment, but once they’re gone, that’s it – no more EVGA graphics cards, thus ending a GPU partnership that began over 20 years ago....
FIFA Ultimate Team is the multiplayer mode where folks build their own teams from purchased packs of player cards, with players who have better stats being more rare. For several years, some fans have believed FUT matches are being sneakily sabotaged by the game, with good players sometimes making awful plays and good teams losing matches they were likely to win. This belief was bolstered by the discovery that in 2016 EA had patented Dynamic Difficult Adjustment, a technology to let a game track a player’s performance and silently tweak difficulty to avoid them becoming too frustrated or bored....
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker is the final chapter in the story arc of warring gods Zodiark and Hydaelyn, and sees you trot across the globe to make new friends, fight old foes, and get some space travel under your belt. It’s huge. So huge that it’s going to take a few more weeks to soak it all in and do a full review justice. Between the queue times and sheer scale and finality of the story, Endwalker is a lengthy undertaking....

According to the statement by Wings co-founder Cassia Curran, the GDC Relief Fund has already raised over $76,500. From the rising total of contributions, Wings say that the GDC Relief Fund will distribute funds based on need. “Supported developers will be selected according to the estimated impact of the postponement on their organisations and the financial hardship they are experiencing,” their statement says. “Beyond the initial financial costs, GDC being postponed means missed opportunities for indie developers hoping to pitch their games....
The expansion will have you playing as Lahni, Keegan and Mac, a trio you might’ve already met in Gears 5’s Escape mode. Well, they’re off on their very own suicide mission to destroy a pesky Swarm hive that’s causing some havoc. It’s a three-hour long campaign that you can play with your pals in three-player split screen or online co-op. There are 16 new achievements too, if you fancy chasing that perfect Gears 5 score....
“Gears of War has always been at the front of Unreal Engine development,” The Coalition say in a news post about the future of the Gears games. “We’re excited to continue that tradition by developing on UE5 for multiple new projects in the coming years.” Over in our Gears 5 review, Matthew has a bit to say about how The Coalition reclaimed that role, and other good things to say besides....
Update 3.0 introduces players to Sumeru, a new region with jungle and desert areas inspired by a mixture of Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures. Sumeru is a Dendro nation, and the update will also push Dendro abilities - one of Genshin’s seven elemental powers - to the forefront with the first playable Dendro vision holders. Those include Tighnari, the first 5-star character from the region, as well as the 4-star Collei....
So what do you get for your patience? A weekly dose of 400 Primogem, 1 Fragile Resin, 7 Hero’s Wit, 16 Mystic Enhancement Ore and 120,000 Mora. Not too shabby. MiHoYo say that if the time between update 2.7 launching and the previous weekly compensation is less than a full week then they’ll alter the date of the last batch of free gubbins to account for that. I think it must’ve all fallen off the back of a wagon....
Outriders, in case you’ve forgotten, is one of a handful of games getting support for Nvidia’s performance-boosting DLSS tech over the coming months, hence why it’s being bundled in with RTX-powered gaming laptops. In the UK, it looks like we’ll have plenty of choice over where we’ll be able to buy a qualifying laptop, too, as Ebuyer, Overclockers UK, PC Specialist, Scan, Cyberpower, CCL and Box are all listed as participating retailers over on Nvidia’s website....
