Smell the rage.

It's coming up to a year since V Rising received its 1.0 release, and ahead of that anniversary developer Stunlock Studios shared a trailer earlier this week for the game's first big update, Invaders of Oakveil. The update itself will be free (nice!), and introduces a whole new area to explore, the titular Oakveil Woodlands, a woodsy area where "corruption" is spreading (not nice).

Well that's good, at least until it's not again, which will probably happen tomorrow or the day after.

You can cancel your Elden Ring Nightreign pre-order, you can hold off on picking up a Switch 2 for that inevitable The Duskbloods release, because there's a pretty good reason to return to the original Dark Souls. Earlier this week, modder extraordinaire Yui released the Dark Souls Remastered seamless co-op mod, which, if you can believe it, allows you to play through the game in online co-op with minimal interruptions.

Spoilers for “The Robot Revolution.” The start of any season of Doctor Who is important, doubly so when there’s a new co-star to introduce. “The Robot Revolution” has to get us to fall in love with Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu), ensnare new fans and keep existing ones hooked. Especially since it’s the second of two series that Disney paid for, meaning it’s got to do well enough to keep the money flowing. We open “17 years ago” with Belinda Chandra staring at the stars next to her boyfriend, Ala...

Netflix has started testing a new search feature powered by OpenAI that can help customers find movies and shows to watch, according to Bloomberg. The streaming service has reportedly given select users in Australia and New Zealand the option to use the tool. It will allow users to search for terms other than a specific show's title, an actor's name or the genre they want to watch. Bloomberg says it will give them a way to search for content using more specific terms, like their mood. Presumably...

This weekend Bungie revealed Marathon’s sci-fi-fueled gameplay to the world. The studio, celebrated for its sublime first-person gunplay and ever-expanding gameplay, is venturing into the extraction-shooter genre when the game launches on September 23. The Marathon premise is simple and enticing: load up your Runner with valuable gear, compete with other players to secure more...

The Marathon alpha gives you a chance to play Bungie’s forthcoming extraction shooter significantly ahead of its Sept. 23 release date. Announced during Bungie’s Marathon stream on April 12, the Marathon alpha allows you to check out four characters on two maps. Like most alpha tests, though, it also doubles as a technical stress test...

What happened to the ghost colony on Tau Ceti IV and the infamous Marathon ship that started it all? Decades after the original Marathon trilogy, the Bungie development team is ready to dive back into the world of Tau Ceti IV in their upcoming team-based extraction shooter, Marathon. The game launches on PS5, Steam, and...

Bungie's extraction shooter is taking a test run this month and you can sign up to participate now.

Marathon is an extraction shooter, but also a "story engine", according to Bungie.

You won't be able to hear the battle cries of enemy runners in Marathon.

With Destiny flailing, Bungie's new shooter has to stick the landing.

Bungie makes a run for the finish line in September.

Two days spent on Tau Ceti IV confirm that Marathon will be one of the year's most exciting shooters, but still a major risk for Sony.

Bungie re-revealed its extraction shooter Marathon via livestream on Saturday. Marathon was officially revealed in May of 2023, and Bungie has been relatively quiet since its announcement. But as the studio gears up for the game’s Sept. 23 release date, it’s opening the floodgates on all things Marathon. The studio started the event with a...

The post Marathon Comes to Xbox This September, and Here’s What We Know So Far appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Marathon, Bungie’s upcoming extraction shooter, has been officially rerevealed via a Saturday stream out of the developer’s main offices in Bellevue, Washington. As part of a preview event for press and creators, Bungie flew me out to Washington to spend about six hours with the game, see the reveal event early, and speak to some...

When I went to Bellevue, Washington, in early April to visit Bungie’s headquarters and take a gander at Marathon, the studio’s upcoming extraction shooter, I remembered the first time I played a PC copy of Halo as a teen. Despite logging hundreds of hours on Xbox before, I was terrible with my mouse and keyboard...

Are you ready to lose control?

Almost two years after it was first revealed, Bungie have released a first-look at the upcoming Marathon reboot's gameplay. And you know what? Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's looking really good! And it's out September 23rd! Much like the reveal trailer it's incredibly stylish, there's this clean, almost Mirror's Edge like quality to its world, but we've had hints of that already. The big thing is the gameplay, which looks like more of that chunky, Bungie, first-person shooting goodness.

Waiter, waiter, more tea please.

The Nintendo Switch is known for its robust library of first-party games that prioritize fun and cooperative experiences for audiences of all ages. But what about games for grown-ups? Sure, it’s fun and all to somersault around as a mustachioed plumber who can transform into an elephant, but sometimes all you want is something a...

I won't lie, sometimes when I hear a string of words like "beautiful hand-drawn Metroidvania with challenging combat etc., etc.," my eyes do start to glaze over a bit. It can be a bit buzzwordy! But, gosh, that there The Eternal Life of Goldman looks a bit stunning doesn't it? It was shown off last month during Nintendo's Not Switch 2 Direct, but earlier this week it received another trailer offering another look, and more importantly, who'll be composing it.

Apple and other electronics manufacturers have received a break from Trump's reciprocal tariffs, with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency sharing a long list of products excluded from the levies last night. iPhones, Macs, iPads, Apple Watch, and other Apple devices will not be subject to the 125 percent tariffs that have been put in place on imported Chinese goods, nor will Apple have to pay the 10 percent reciprocal tariffs that are in place for goods from other countries. All manner ...

You’ll come across a pair of pictures (or paintings, or drawings, or whatever you want to call them) in every Blue Prince room. This pair of pictures (or paintings or drawings) serves as the basis for one of the most baffling puzzles in the game. Our Blue Prince guide will tell why there are two...

While FromSoftware is set to imminently reinvent its multiplayer approach with Elden Ring Nightreign, nothing beats the thrill of the original Dark Souls. The simple act of etching your soapstone into the ground and waiting to be summoned, or calling on a random player to help you finally defeat Ornstein and Smough, is unlike any other online experience. If you want to play through the entire land of Lordran with a friend, however, that's when things get difficult. Constant roadblocks and resets...

2025 is proving to be a big year for expansive space simulation X4: Foundations. The bold and intricate sandbox game has already pushed out one major overhaul in recent months, totally transforming the game’s flight model to offer players a more smooth and responsive experience in the cockpit. Now, developer Egosoft is turning its attention to the more grand-scale strategy side of things, and it’s going to completely change the options at your disposal when it comes to dealing with rival faction...

On April 14, Waymo will start testing its robotaxi technology outside the US for the first time. As Yomiuri Shimbun reports, the company will deploy 25 of its electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles in Tokyo for the initial phase of its testing program. Waymo is taking it slow and will not be operating them without a driver behind the wheel yet, however. Drivers from Tokyo taxi company Nihon Kotsu Co. will be driving the cars around Chiyoda, Minato, Shinjuku and four other wards in the Japanese capital....

Split Fiction's full original soundtrack is now available to stream.

The time is almost upon us all to prepare for the end of Baldur's Gate 3, and by end, I mean the RPG's final big update. Larian cheekily shared last year that it'd be getting one final hurrah in spite of the fact they'd said that patch 7 would be the last major one. Now, in a quick little video posted to the official Larian YouTube channel yesterday, the developer confirmed that patch 8 will be dropping April 15th next week. There's even a special little livestream coming April 16th, 9am EST/ 2p...

At nearly 600 pages, including the game’s complete screenplay — and more than a dozen bonus trinkets in the Deluxe Edition — Lost in Cult’s upcoming Immortality: Design Works isn’t the sort of book you fit neatly into your collection; it’s the sort of book you build a collection around. The fifth entry in the...

Frost Giant Studios has finally lifted the lid on its Stormgate campaign rework as the free-to-play RTS from former Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo developers attempts to turn around a rocky launch response. The single-player story mode was one of the most heavily criticized aspects of the strategy game’s early-access release, with users bemoaning its placeholder presentation and underwhelming objectives, but it’s now been dramatically overhauled and given a new lease on life.

US Customs and Border Protection has published a list of products that will be excluded from Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, including smartphones, computers, semiconductors and memory cards, along with other electronic devices and components. The move comes shortly after Trump imposed a 125 percent tariff on goods from China, which the administration confirmed to CNBC and other outlets is in addition to the 20 percent tariff put in place earlier this year, bringing it to a total of 145 percent. Tru...

If you spent far too much time last year in the Balatro hole, Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers is a fellow card game-based roguelike you don’t want to miss. Even though the indie deckbuilder was playable before LocalThunk’s opus, its affectionate description as ‘Blackjack Balatro’ is about as succinct as it gets. Since launch, the team at Purple Moss Collectors has been hard at work improving the experience, and the latest update makes a suite of changes. Best of all, you can snag the game at a ...
