Developer Larian Studios has released a teaser for the Dark Urge playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, featuring a new cinematic conclusion. Spoilers ahead: the studio revealed what looks to be the Dark Urge protagonist utilizing mind control to drive Shadowheart, Lae’zel, and Wyll to jump to their deaths in a post on X/Twitter. The 52-second “cinematic teaser” implies that the full version must be rather important. It will be released in September along with the last complete update for the well-liked role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3, though a precise date has not yet been disclosed. “Papa would be pleased,” the…
It is understandable how a popular series could get stale. There is a lot of inertia in one direction that can be challenging to reroute as gameplay standards get more ingrained, backstory bloats, and deviating from what fans expect becomes riskier. That is the perfect environment for something like Fallout London. The massive (and free) entire conversion for Fallout 4 was made possible by the mod group FOLON, who approached the project with new ideas and eyes and without concern for upsetting the Fallout acolytes. The plot is released from the weight of most of the decades’ worth of lore…
Fallout: London, the massive Fallout 4 mod that brings the post-apocalyptic role-playing game overseas, was released about two weeks ago. According to digital distribution store GOG.com, the expansion-sized update has become the “fastest redeemed game of all time” on its platform. Fallout: London was redeemed “more than 500,000 times” in the first 24 hours, according to a press statement released by GOG on Friday. This achievement made it the fastest-downloading game ever for the storefront alone. “A press release from GOG stated that the initial release of Fallout: London proved to be an enormous success – and a prime illustration…

In the Traversing Hyrule video, Nintendo has unveiled a five-minute in-depth look at The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. The teaser, accessible below, shows off some of the most important locales in the Zelda-led game, including Hyrule Castle and the neighborhood of Castle Town.

In 2014, I waited in line at a nearby game store to pick up my pre-ordered copy of The Sims 4 while sporting a cardboard plum bob headband that I had hurriedly crafted the night before. Launching with a plethora of then-current appliances and a create-a-sim wardrobe brimming with Pinterest-worthy outfits, The Sims 4 felt like a futuristic follow-up that captured those carefree days. Even more amazing is the fact that, nearly ten upgrades later, it remains the industry standard life simulator, providing a remarkably distinctive home sandbox that has not seen any serious competition. Even with a commendable shift…
I have played some of the larger MMOs, such as World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14, but aside from that, I have just dabbled in the myriad shapes this subgenre can take. Therefore, my assessment that Throne and Liberty do not quite live up to my previous dungeon-diving, loot-grinding, and boss-slaying experiences in massively online games is mostly that of a “normie.” Nevertheless, major expansions for both World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14 were released this year. The sequel to NCSOFT’s Guild Wars, Throne and Liberty, has a gorgeous world and combat that develops into an engaging and…
Fans of BioWare titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect are familiar with the implied nudity and sex scenes included in these games, but it seems like the upcoming action role-playing title Dragon Age: The Veilguard will elevate the BioWare romance to a completely new plane. According to Gamextar, topless nudity can be found in Dragon Age: The Veilguard character builder, where users can personalize Rook, the main character. The director of the Veilguard game, Corrine Busche, would not go so far as to say that this implies topless nudity elements in other parts of the game, but it certainly…
