Remember Prey (the 2017 one, not the 2006 one)? Well it's back, in VR form: maybe! Thanks to another retailer listing — which is becoming an increasingly reliable way to learn about actually real games — Prey VR&n...

In the past, Bethesda opened up private test servers (PTS) for select individuals to test out Fallout 76 content, but it looks like things have changed. As of this week, Bethesda is making the process more accessible, allowing players ...

Arkane's throwing a reverse birthday party of sorts, the kind where it turns a year older but you're the one getting presents.  The first game Arkane Studios ever made, Arx Fatalis, is free on PC right now. The reason for the giveaway...

A week ago, Bethesda gave its players a glimpse at the future of Fallout 76. Now that the Wastelanders update is out (and it's apparently pretty good!), Bethesda outlined the rest of the year with a 2020 roadmap. It didn't take long fo...

Doom developer id Software hasn't had a business-as-usual kind of week. After integrating Denuvo anti-cheat into Doom Eternal last Thursday, the game was review bombed by fans who were unhappy with this mandatory post-launch inclu...

The Elder Scrolls: Blades is an interesting case study. Here is a mobile spin-off of a console/PC franchise that is now making its way back to consoles via the Switch. With a "real" Elder Scrolls sequel still years away, and The E...

[Update: I reached out to Denuvo, and a representative confirmed an update is in the works to allow the game "to be launched for singleplayer offline play without requiring installation of Denuvo Anti-Cheat." They were unable to provide a t...

Although my first foray into first-person shooters was Catacomb 3-D, Doom and Duke Nukem's stages are forever burned in my brain. That's partly why I sought out crazy fanmade mods (WADs) by any means necessary, including picking up some cra...

[Update: And it's actually out! You can find it here for free, but naturally there's a $14.99 "quick start" bundle. The Switch edition will launch with Update 1.7 in tow, and cross-progression with mobile is confirmed. You can watch the new...

The time has come: Fallout 76 now has a plan throughout the rest of 2020. Wait, where are you going?! Following the recent Wastelanders update, which massively overhauled the game and added NPCs, Bethesda has finally shared their 2020 ...

The Post-Apocalyptic West Virginia Board of Tourism has approved temporary measures in hopes of sending people in droves to the irradiated wasteland of Appalachia. Or maybe it was Bethesda. Yeah, definitely Bethesda. This weekend, Fallout 7...

For the past two years, us Elder Scrolls fans have been clinging to a 36-second teaser trailer for the next mainline entry: Elder Scrolls VI. Bethesda has been pretty mum on the whole project since then, but now we have a better idea o...

While not the most distinguishable hero on the block, there's no denying that the demon-slaying space marine of id Software's Doom Eternal cuts a pretty imposing figure - clad in futuristic body armour and kitted out with an ominous helmet....

Listen, I'm not usually one to propagate conspiracy theories. Give me that 5G network, 6G even. I hang out in Denver International Airport all the time. Elvis, 2Pac, and Andy Kaufman are definitely all done and dusted. But can we really tru...

Fallout 76 just launched their biggest free expansion yet in Wastelanders, but according to a recent AMA, they're not done yet. According to project lead Jeff Gardiner and lead quest designer Eric "Ferret" Baudoin, a roadmap is co...

It's all doom and gloom lately, as we continue to deal with the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. It has pushed a lot of people to the brink, all that pent-up rage manifesting for months now as the world has stopped. Some might say that's...

Before the gigantic free Wastelanders update for Fallout 76, Bethesda solicited the help of its community by way of a private test server (PTS). It was a great move, and probably would have helped if Bethesda had done this way earlier ...

If the country roads take you home to West Virginia, Dogmeat might be homeward bound. Bethesda has opened the doggy door to the potential of a future update that would add Fallout's most fetching companion. Now that Fallout 76 has NPCs...

Fallout 76 is undergoing a lot of alterations today. Change is coming, as the game is morphing into its Wastelanders incarnation, which brings NPCs into the mix with a free update. Well it turns out that Wastelanders is actua...

What do Doom Eternal and Final Fantasy VII Remake have to do with each other? About as much as both have to do with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, in that they were vaguely released in the same rough timeframe. That hasn't stopped...

Well, it's finally happening. After an E3 2019 announcement that Fallout 76 was going to be completely overhauled in the Wastelanders expansion to give people what they've always wanted, NPCs, everyone who kept their copy or bough...

There’s no mistake that both Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Doom Eternal have both proven big successes, with both consistently popping up in my social media feed. But while Animal Crossing has been opening up a surprising discours...

More than a year and a half after Fallout 76 first launched, it's coming to Steam. Alongside the Wastelanders update on April 14 (we're finally getting NPCs), Bethesda is expanding beyond its proprietary launcher and setting ...

We won't get to read another "Everything that happened at Bethesda's E3 press conference" recap. (Would it have been merely "okay," like 2019? Or "mostly Fallout-based," like 2018? We'll never know!) Speaking on Twitter, Bethesda's Pete Hin...

It was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but Elder Scrolls: Blades was finally given some semblance of a release window for Switch during the surprise Nintendo Direct Mini that I'm still reeling from. Released in Early Access on mobil...
