Elden Ring Nightreign launched missing many, many features most of us expect in modern multiplayer games. The co-op action RPG is designed for three players, and that’s about the only optimal way to play it.
IO Interactive has officially dropped the first real news on its in-development James Bond game since it was initially announced back in 2020. The game is called 007 First Light, and IO revealed it with nothing but a single piece of art on Twitter.
Elden Ring Nightreign servers are back online following brief maintenance earlier today. During that downtime, FromSoftware rolled out the first major-ish post-launch patch for the game, which does come with a welcome addition for solo players.
Elden Ring Nightreign is here, and after selling 2 million copies in its first day and becoming developer FromSoftware’s second-biggest launch on Steam, the dust is starting to settle, giving rise to thousands of player impressions.
Boy, that escalated quickly. Elden Ring Nightreign, as I write this, has been out less than a day. So, of course someone's already put out a video demonstrating a duos mod for it.
The Borderlands Online archival saga continues, with the small group of people hoping to get the game playable putting out a call-to-action for those with coding experience (specifically with software like DNSpy and Unity Ripper) in order to break through the game's character selection screen.
It's over. Well, for about ten minutes. Helldivers 2's battle for Super Earth has ended, with the Helldivers emerging from the siege victorious and seeing off the Illuminate. For now.
Elden Ring Nightreign hasn't even been out for 24 hours, and already the game has been made easier for solo players. Those tackling solo runs will get one free revive during the Nightlord fight that's part of the run, and will get increased rune aquisition the entire time.
The Witcher 3. It's a decade old now. CD Projekt's well on its way with The Witcher 4. However, in a really cool turn of events, the studio's now realed it'll be putting out one more patch for TW3 later this year, finally bringing mods for it to consoles.
Mundfish, the studio behind Atomic Heart, has announced it's opening up a publishing arm it's calling Mundfish Powerhouse. This comes alongside the studio's celebratory declaration that Atomic Heart has sold over 10 million copies.
Right, so. Oblivion Remastered modders continue to find ways to pull off really cool stuff despite not having any official tools. The latest interesting new mod to drop adds a whole Skyrim-style smithing system and skill to the game, and it's by someone who'd already blown us away with their faction overhauls.
Helldivers 2 has been hit with a fresh burst of negative reviews on Steam over the past couple of days, and it looks like the reason for this uptick is rooted in an alleged Galactic War messaging mix-up involving Chinese players keen to defeat the Illuminate.
The moment many FromSoftware fans have been waiting for has arrived. Elden Ring Nightreign, the studio’s experimental, multiplayer-only off-shoot is here, having launched worldwide overnight.
Yesterday, EA announced it was cancelling its in-development Black Panther game, and closing down Cliffhanger Games, the studio making it.

The Battlefield community, and general shooter fans, continue to have little to work with when it comes to news about the next Battlefield. The game has yet to be revealed, or even be given a proper title.
You might not have heard of Quantum Witch, but if you’ve an affinity for pixel-art platformers with engaging story-beats, meta-narratives, and an array of kooky characters, then you should be all over it. To just call Quantum Witch a colourful platformer with a strong narrative (read: ‘plotformer’) is to do it a disservice, though.
Speaking to Game Developer, former head of Sony Interactive Entertainment Shuhei Yoshida has outlined his concern regarding video game subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, especially their potential impact on third party and indie developers alike.
Elden Ring Nightreign comes out tomorrow, May 30, meaning that your wait to sample a thing we thought was quite good is almost over. Before you hop into classic ER to fight one last Malenia battle for the road, it's worth checking out the contents of the game's first patch - Version 1.01 - which FromSoft has handily deployed about a day early.
The last stage of Helldivers 2's battle for Super Earth is coming down to the wire, as we all expected, wth just two of the planet's seven mega cities still holding out against The Illuminate. Cue another extra major order to help the major order, and one that'll cater to the folks who've spent the whole squid invasion half a galaxy away.
EA's decided to go back to the cutting well. Its execs have decided to cancel a Black Panther game that was in the works at Cliffhanger Games, and close the studio for good measure. An unspecified number of people will lose their jons or have to transition to other roles within EA as a result.
A new trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign has been released and it's, uh, an interesting one. Titled the "Bring Me To Life" trailer, it's packed full of gameplay that's cut to go alongside Evanescence's legendary song of the same name, very much like an AMV.
As of writing, Dune Awakening just got its final dev stream going over the mid and end game. These large chunks of the experience have been largely mysterious for the longest time, aside from brief mentions of the Deep Desert and the massive community effort required to interact with arguably the game's most exciting feature: The Landsraad system.
UPDATE (29/05/25, 9:00 AM BST): In the investor call accompanying these results, CD Projekt co-CEO Michał Nowakowski responded to a question speculating that Cyberpunk 2 might release around late 2030 or early 2031-ish time by saying the following:
"I can reiterate in a way what I said in one of the previous calls, which was basically that our journey from the pre-production to the final release takes four to five years on average, so a little bit less than I think what you said in the question. Having said that, keep in mind that each project is unique and there are many variables that influence the final outcomes. So, so I will not uh lead you into specific years, but yeah, I mean this is this is pretty much [what] it looks like."
Meanwhile, CDPR's senior PR manager Ola Sondej has told The Verge that Cyberpunk 2 isn't the game's official title, adding that it "just means it’s another game in the Cyberpunk universe".
Original story follows:
Voice actor Yuri Lowenthal has offered a tease - well, perhaps more of a vicious peeling back of the curtain - about the Persona 4 Remake on BlueSky. Persona 4 Remake, a game that has not been officially announced yet, will not be having him back as the voice of Yosuke, the actor claims. Bummer!
Yesterday, Build A Rocket Boy - the studio helmed by Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies - showed off some gameplay from the GTA-ish, Cyberpunk-ish, FarCry map editor-ish action thriller MindsEye, which is set to let you shoot a bunch of evil AI robots. Now, BARB's co-ceo has claimed that there's a real life "concerted effort to trash the game and the studio" going on, involving evil bots.
Attention all Bulbasaur plushie owners and potential future Bulbasaur plushie owners. The Pokemon Company has officially announced a Pokemon Presents showcase set to take place in July. Plus, we finally know for sure when exactly Pokemon Legends Z-A will be arriving for Switch 2 and original Switch.
Elden Ring Nightreign is weird. But not in a bad way. FromSoftware has taken Elden Ring as a foundation and joyfully experimented with all its individual components to create something new. Something weird. Something great. The result is a small but punchy experience, rogue-like in nature and rough around the edges. It's also, at least to me, a perfect send off for Elden Ring and The Lands Between.
You. You've asked an elderly or non-gaming person to buy you either games or a console before, right? Well, the Nintendo Switch 2's latest discourse is all about whether doing that with Ninty's latest hardware is likely to result in you accidentally getting an OG Switch instead.
UPDATE (30/05/25, 10:30 AM BST): Arrowhead community manager Miitchimus has just announced via the Helldivers 2 Discord server that Arrowhead has issued an "emergency hotfix" to curb this issue with "fast input of stratagem commands not working correctly".
Well, it's happened. The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly emerged into the wild ahead of time, into the hands of people on the internet who're keen to make videos showing off the fact that you open the box and boom - there's a Switch 2 in there. It doesn't look like any such folks are actually able to play games on the console though, thanks to an impending update.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive has announced that the turn-based RPG never stopped selling well. The game, which came out just over one month ago, has now sold over 3.3 million copies worldwide.
One of the coolest reveals at last week's Warhammer Skulls event was Boltgun 2, a sequel to the lovingly made blend of Warhammer 40K and retro Doom games. That first game earned itself a place in many people's hearts, a loving homage to two worlds. But now there's a sequel cooking away, and all eyes are on the future.
Time must fly when you're having fun. Or at least when you're defending Super Earth from a huge Illuminate invasion. Helldivers 2's latest major order is the "final phase" of the battle for the divers' home planet that's been raging since the Heart of Democracy update dropped on May 20.
Sure, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and Skyblivion either already have dropped this year or are set to arrive before 2025 is done. But the people crave more revamps of classic TES games, and the modders behind Skywind - a remake of Morrowind in Skyrim's engine - have just dropped a fresh gameplay showcase.
Star Wars Battlefront II has been granted a new lease of life. With a community-led effort to storm back into a war-torn galaxy, far, far away, players have flocked back to EA's sci-fi shooter in great numbers, breaking concurrent player records on Steam.
If there’s one thing us folks who love a good RPG can never have enough of, it’s quests. Oblivion Remastered has plenty in its base form - The Elder Scrolls 4 not being short on stuff to do - but of course modders were always going to add to that.
Thrempshs npmopw apnn Oblmpmphon Rmphstrpmshrd mphd aphmt etmphing rshks. Sorry, I've finished chewing. There's now an Oblivion Remastered mod that lets you, the almighty Hero of Kvatch and saviour of the empire (well, in the short-term), eat rocks. Leave room for dessert - there are gemstones too.
