You would think that adding an all-new class to an old game like Diablo II: Resurrected would be a happy event, but then you also likely have never experienced ARPG players in public forums and subreddits, who primarily appear to be the angriest of human calculators. That appears to be the case among players of the game, […]

Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken was published in August of 1915, and it has endured an immense popularity since then. Many people can quote the last couplet of the poem (“I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”), and for years the title alone conjures images of […]

PC gamers, take note: Epic Games has kicked off its annual Holiday Sale with a stunning move, offering the full base version of Hogwarts Legacy for free to claim this week. This massive AAA title, which normally retails for $59.99, can be added permanently to your library at no cost.

This unexpected gift is available for a limited time, running from its announcement until Thursday, December 18th, 11 AM ET. If you’ve been waiting for the optimal moment to jump into the Wizarding World, this is it.

The Wizarding World ARPG

Developed by Avalanche Software, Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG set in the 1800s, long before the events of the famous book series. This means you get to experience an entirely new era of the magical school while still exploring familiar grounds.

As a late enrollee to the fifth year at Hogwarts, you create your own witch or wizard and define your own legacy. Players will:

• Learn Spells and Potions: Attend classes, master a vast array of offensive and defensive magic, and mix essential concoctions.
• Explore a Massive World: Beyond the halls of Hogwarts, explore the Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade Village, and the surrounding Highlands.
• Uncover Ancient Secrets: Dive into a compelling original storyline that sees your character holding the key to an ancient secret tied to a dangerous Goblin Rebellion.

This title allows for unparalleled immersion, letting you sort into your preferred House (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw) and make choices that determine your moral path—a truly expansive role-playing experience for any fantasy enthusiast.

Pro Tip: Grab a Free Fortnite Cosmetic

As an added bonus for the Epic ecosystem user, playing at least two hours of Hogwarts Legacy before the December 18th deadline will automatically earn you the Chocolate Frog Back Bling cosmetic in Fortnite. It’s a sweet piece of enchanted flair to wear on the island while you work on your magical studies.

Don’t let this massive giveaway pass you by. Claim your copy before the offer expires next week.

When Day of Prophecy launched in Lost Ark ahead of Thanksgiving, it was missing one key component: the race to clear the Kazeros raid that headlined it. That race is now on with today’s update.

Last week, we covered the weird news that Embracer was in the process of divesting itself of Arc Games, which is the publishing outfit formerly known as Perfect World Entertainment that it bought only four years ago. Well, that wasn’t really the weird news; the weird news was that in the same presser, Embracer implied […]

A game like Titan Quest II doesn’t really lend itself to pastoral pursuits too well, so you would be forgiven for thinking that something called a Forge mastery would be a bit comparatively dull. However, the Forge mastery line coming to the multiplayer-optional ARPG acts a little bit differently – and with a more mythical […]
