     Starfield is

Starfield, the upcoming space game from Bethesda Game Studios, is a "more grounded" experience than Skyrim, but game director Todd Howard says you'll still have that signature experience of stepping out into a marvelous new world - in fact, Howard hints, there are two such moments in Starfield.

In the first of a new series of videos called Into the Starfield, Starfield's lead developers chat about its lineage and the experience they've brought to bear working on it. It features a few new glimpses of Starfield, both in game footage and concept art. The developers discuss some of the goals the studio has for Starfield, as well as how its new setting provides opportunities for the team to use their varied talents and interests in fields like robotics and engineering.

"It's got a more realistic, science-based backing to it," art director Matt Carofano says. "Whereas Skyrim is sort of an epic fantasy, this is a more grounded game, and a grounded setting about exploration. I think that gives us a different take on how we make everything."

     Warframe's The New War expansion is out in two weeks

Digital Extremes has revealed that Warframe's The New War expansion will release on December 15, 2021. The release date was announced during Warframe's final devstream of the year, which also featured a CG story trailer and details on hosted giveaways and Twitch drops.

If you've been out of the loop, The New War is Warframe's next free cinematic questline. You take control of a new playable character, which is a first for the sci-fi game. The story unfolds across three acts and features various missions set in new environments, including open worlds besieged by Sentients. There's plenty that you'll find familiar, too. Digital Extremes explains in a press release that you'll "take control" of enemies like Kahl-175 the Grineer, Veso the Corpus Tech, and the Dax: Teshin as they fight to push back the invading Sentient force. Story details are light right now for spoiler reasons, but the developer teases that "while the war rages on, so will the fight for the truth behind the conflict - understanding the Lotus' past to unlock a new future".

Alongside a new story to progress through, you're also getting more customisations, weapons, and accessories. There's also the Caliban, which is Warframe's 48th unique, uh, Warframe. Think of it as a Sentient-Warframe hybrid, which makes it fit neatly into the expansion theme.

     Genshin Impact Shenhe release date and abilities

Genshin Impact is getting two new characters called Yun Jin and Shenhe. The pair have sporadically popped up in datamines over the past year, but Mihoyo has now confirmed on Twitter that they are real, continuing a trend of introducing characters before they're due to get a banner.

Shenhe is a Cryo user who wields a polearm in battle. She hails from a clan of exorcists and is a disciple of an adeptus called Cloud Retainer, who chooses to take the form of a white crane for what it's worth. Mihoyo further fleshes out her background by sharing that, of all the pupils Cloud Retainer has taken on, Shenhe bears the closest resemblance to her. Shenhe thinks she's neat, too - believing her to be a "knowledgeable and chatty" master.

Here's everything we know about Shenhe's banner in Genshin Impact and when we can expect to see her in upcoming updates.

     The best Battlefield 2042 weapons

Want to know about every gun in Battlefield 2042? Unlike other games in the series, Battlefield 2042 scraps the traditional class system which ties weapons to specific classes - If you wanted to use an SMG in Battlefield 5, you were forced to pick the Medic class even if you had no intention of healing or reviving dead teammates.

The new Battlefield 2042 Specialist system allows players to pick the weapons they want, alongside the gadget and trait that suits them best. This also opens up Battlefield to different types of classes other than the usual Recon, Support, Assault, and Medic archetypes. There are ten specialists available in Battlefield 2042.

There's also the 'Plus System' in Battlefield 2042 that gives players the ability to change their weapon attachments on the fly. If your assault rifle has an ACOG scope that isn't needed on a close quarters map, remove the optics and revert back to iron sights to get a clearer shot. Here are all the best guns in Battlefield 2042.

What are the best Fallout 4 mods on PC? The mod community is out in force, so you have lots to choose from when looking to enhance your adventures in the wasteland. Official PC modding support for Fallout 4 is open for business at the Bethesda Mods page, and the Fallout 4 Nexus has hundreds of mods available. If you are looking to make the game more beautiful, add some new features, or even play as a dog, modding is the way forward.

It's thanks to mods like these that games like Fallout 4 enjoy such longevity after launch, as the best and brightest minds of the internet come together to create more diverse worlds, tweak tiny niggles of the original game's game play, or just add something entirely off-beat for the fun of it.

To celebrate the weird and wonderful creations of the Fallout 4 Modding community, we have picked out more than 50 of the best Fallout 4 mods out there to get you well on your way to a more interesting Boston Wasteland.

     Hearts of Iron 4 meta – combat width, division templates, and more

So, you want to know about the new Hearts of Iron 4 meta? With the release of Hearts of Iron IV's No Step Back expansion, the WW2 strategy game has changed in several significant ways, and we're not just talking about HOI4 supply. One of the stated goals of the free 1.11 patch that accompanied it is to shake up the grand strategy game's previous - stale - meta of specific division templates and combat widths.

It's safe to say that things have changed, that's for sure. Whether this new meta will get as stale as the old one remains to be seen, but early indications suggest that there are more viable options now, especially with the new supply system making larger divisions less useable than they used to be.

If you're a veteran looking for the topline on what's new, or a new player trying to understand the conversation and whatever the hell a 40/20 is, we hope this guide will help you get up to speed on the Hearts on Iron IV No Step Back meta.

     Genshin Impact outfits – available skins and what's coming next

After months of the community asking for character outfits, Genshin Impact gives players the chance to change their character's outfits using the skins system. This system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, which also welcomed the Anemo Sword user Kazuha to the game. Ayaka, the Cyro Sword user, arrived in the second banner in Genshin Impact 1.6.

One of the big questions surrounding the skin system was how skins were planned to be distributed. As Genshin Impact locks characters behind gacha mechanics, players were worried that skins may be sold using the same system. The 1.6 livestream revealed two methods for unlocking skins: purchasing them outright, and exchanging them for specific items collected during an event. If you happen to miss the event, the skin will make its way to the Character Outfit Shop in the future.

This is only the beginning of the skin system, so don't feel bad if your favourite character doesn't have a skin just yet. There hasn't been a new skin since the 1.6 update back in June, but it looks like Genshin Impact 2.4 is going to change that. Here are all of the Genshin Impact outfits so far.

     Into the Echo is a

Announced in April and revealed with a brief teaser trailer in September this year, Into the Echo is an upcoming "time travel odyssey" MMORPG. While details on the game are light on the ground right now, the story and concepts shared so far are intriguing - and now developer Etlok Studios is giving a small batch of players the chance to dive into a pre-alpha later this week.

The Toronto-based studio shares in a press release that it's giving 250 players the chance to dive into the early build for its pre-alpha debut on the weekend of December 4-5. It's a small group of playtesters that'll be selected from those who sign up to try it out on the game's site, though additional keys will release "in batches over the coming months", the studio adds, so if you miss out this time there's still a chance you might get to give it a whirl pretty soon.

The MMORPG is set in the mystical land of Raava, a place struck by a cosmic event a million years ago which imbued its people with a special power called Qen. "Revered by some and feared by others, Qen has been a part of life for the Raavai," the devs explain on the game's site. "Battles were fought and kingdoms were destroyed for the mastery over Qen until the formation of The Order of the Silver Birch. But the centuries-long peace seems to be once again threatened.

     Guild Wars 2's End of Dragons beta lets you try the MMO's new siege turtle mount

Guild Wars 2 is getting another open beta for its upcoming End of Dragons expansion today. The fourth beta is set to run until December 4, and features the new siege turtle mount and all nine of the new elite specialisations while the latest beta's on.

We're quite taken with the giant turtle ourselves. While mounts get you where you need to go swiftly, there are fewer things more joyful than taking up most of the room with a giant mount you're keen to show off. The siege turtle fits that bill nicely, we think. Once you raise it from a hatchling, you can outfit your giant turtle with jade cannons and jump sets. This isn't all for show either, as you can deal damage to foes by stomping on them from upon high. The mount can also carry two people, because giant siege turtles are best enjoyed with pals.

You're also getting to try Guild Wars 2's new elite specialisations. You've got the Willbender for the Guardian, the Vindicator for the Revenant, and many more.

     Factories are gearing up to produce Nvidia RTX 4000 series GPUs ahead of 2022

The best graphics cards are still scarce and expensive in 2021, but the industry is still looking ahead to the future, with rumblings of yearly Intel Arc Xe releases and a complete Nvidia Geforce RTX 3000 series refresh. Yet, despite component shortages, it looks like the green team's ambitions for next year stretch beyond current-gen re-releases, as new reports suggest that factories are already gearing up to produce RTX 4000 GPUs.

According to a DigiTimes report spotted by Chiakokhua, Nvidia's RTX 4000 series could arrive next year and Taiwan factories are going "all-out to support 5nm RTX40 generation". While previous leaks also suggest a 2022 launch, this new industry report suggests manufacturing is about to kick off, adding clout to previous release date claims.

Digitimes' article doesn't outline an ETA, so it's hard to say whether the Lovelace lineup will release after Nvidia's RTX 3000 plans, or if both will simultaneously emerge on the scene in 2022. If this is the case, we could end up with a wide variety of RTX series graphics cards, including a new RTX 2060, revamped RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 cards, and next-generation RTX 4070, RTX 4080, and RTX 4090 GPUs.

     Windows PCs can now improve Xbox Cloud Gaming visuals with Microsoft Edge

Microsoft continues to improve the integration of its Xbox brand into its Windows operating systems, with features like Xbox Cloud Gaming (formerly project xCloud). The company has just released an update for its Microsoft Edge Canary browser, an 'insider' alpha-like version of the Internet Explorer successor, which adds a new Clarity Boost feature for the cloud streaming service.

Players that download Microsoft Edge Canary today can enjoy what Microsoft describes as "a set of client-side scaling improvements to improve the visual quality of the video stream." However, we can expect Clarity Boost to be available on all devices using the standard version of Microsoft Edge by the end of 2021. Don't forget, you'll need to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass to gain access to Xbox Cloud Gaming.

We're yet to conduct our own testing, but Microsoft has released a comparison image of two Xbox Cloud Gaming streams, with one using the new feature (which you can view here). The difference between the screenshots of Gears Tactics protagonist Gabriel Diaz is easily appreciable, with Clarity Boost providing a much sharper image.

     Six strategy games like Civilization

So you want more games like Civilization? As the undisputed king of 4X games (for now), there are many who've tried to copy what Sid Meier created, and plenty who want to play a Civ-like experience that wasn't created by Firaxis.

Civilization games offer a unique vision of turn-based strategy where you start from humble origins, and lead a people through the ages, founding more cities, enriching your empire with cultural or technological advancements, and quite often, fighting other civilisations. It's not a strict historical strategy game, more of an historically-inspired sandbox, and few other games have attempted to offer the breadth that Civilization has.

While we have a dedicated list of great 4X games in general (which Civilization is on), some of you may be interested in looking for something that more closely resembles Firaxis' popular series. We decided to spin-off a separate list of games like Civilization, but we've dug up some very specific examples for this one, so don't worry about there being too much overlap. Enjoy!

     The best DMR 14 Warzone loadout

Hunting for the best DMR 14 loadout in Warzone? While it's no longer the top tier weapon it used to be, the DMR 14 made a name for itself as one of the most infamous weapons in the battle royale game. Not long after the launch of Black Ops Cold War, the Warzone community discovered just how powerful the tactical rifle was, causing the DMR 14 to go through several rounds of nerfs.

It took several nerfs to finally dethrone the DMR 14 and Mac-10, but it might still be a viable option with the release of Warzone Season 6. The DMR 14 has been on the receiving end of numerous buffs since it was heavily nerfed, bringing the weapon back up to speed. To capitalise on these balance changes, our DMR 14 loadout decreases the amount of recoil, allowing you to take down enemies with ease from a distance.

To compensate for the DMR 14's close range shortcomings, you may want to use a mobile weapon as your secondary gun. Head on over to our best AUG setup to equip yourself with a deadly SMG, giving you the best of both worlds.

     Halo Infinite devs are increasing XP gains to ease battle pass frustrations

343 Industries has outlined more changes for Halo Infinite's progression system in multiplayer following feedback from fans. Community manager John Junyszek explains on Twitter that your initial six matches each day will now offer more experience points to ease the battle pass grind.

You'll now get 300XP for your first match, 200XP for your second and third, 100XP for your fourth, fifth, and sixth, and 50XP for seven and beyond. "We believe this increase will help address those slower initial payouts while also benefiting those of you jumping on each and every day," Junyszek says.

343 Industries' initial changes to progression included daily 'play one game' challenges, updated weekly challenges, and doubled duration for some experience boosts. While this helped, Junyszek notes that the team felt that players weren't getting enough experience points at the start of their play sessions. "After seeing how XP was earned with those changes, we noticed that players were starting their sessions with slower payouts than we'd like," he says. "To address this, we will be increasing the XP payout for the first six matches of each day."

     League of Legends' Chemtech and Hextech dragons get buffed next patch

If you've caught our League of Legends patch 11.24 notes, you'll know that Riot Games has now given us an early idea of what's coming in the way of balance changes for the first big rebalancing patch of 2022's Preseason. While there are no specifics on exact tweaks just yet, we know there's a smattering of balance changes coming - and League of Legends' new Chemtech and Hextech dragons are in the studio's sights for some buffs.

Developer Riot Phlox has posted the early 11.24 patch preview on Twitter (below), revealing that the two dragons - which came to League of Legends as part of its big new batch of Preseason 2022 changes and content - are getting some TLC. It's not clear exactly how much Riot will be dialling up their prowess on the Rift, but it looks like the changes won't be major, with the early preview noting the changes as a "Chemtech mini dragon buff" and "Hextech mini dragon buff", respectively.

It looks like the changes coming up will be balanced out to an extent by a nerf coming to the Chemtech dragon's soul, though. This soul gives your champion a buff in the form of a brief second life if they die, being able to revive where they're stood and make use of their auto-attack and abilities before dropping.

     Stellaris cheats – a guide to console commands

So, you want to know about Stellaris console commands and cheats? Just like you want to know about Victoria 2 cheats, EU4 cheats, and even Hearts of Iron 4 cheats, we imagine? It's ok, you're among friends here - we won't judge.

As of the Nemesis expansion, Stellaris is in a pretty good place right now. Not perfect, but there's plenty of meaningful content across most phases. But like all grand strategy games, the desire to have that perfect run is strong. While some of the best stories come from rolling with the punches, when you're the hero of your own tale you sometimes want things to happen in a specific way..

That's where cheats come in. Stellaris has a console command feature that's common with many strategy games where you can input commands to achieve instant results. Sometimes this can be literal cheating, like giving yourself more resources or just hand-waving away a pesky rival, but there are plenty of debug commands and options to create nice visuals, like by removing the UI. We've compiled a guide to the essential commands to give you a smooth game.

     The best Warzone Bizon loadout

Our Warzone Bizon loadout aims to make one of the most off-meta weapons in the game feel competitive. Most close range weapons thrive on Rebirth Island, and the PP19 Bizon is no exception to this. While the Bizon is rarely seen in custom loadouts in Warzone, it has appeared as floor loot, unfortunately never in good forms. However, with the right attachments and the best Warzone loadout backing it up, the PP19 Bizon can perform really well in the right hands.

The PP19 Bizon boasts plenty of unique benefits you can't match with the more popular Warzone MP5 loadout. For example, its maximum damage range with the right spec is almost 50% better than that of the MP5, its magazine capacity can be upped to a ridiculous 84, and its headshot damage is higher to boot. To cap it all off, the iron sights offer great vision and the recoil is very easy to manage.

You'll need to treat it very differently to the MP5 to really get the best out of this Warzone Bizon loadout, but if you've been looking for a different SMG in Warzone then this is a lot of fun and surprisingly effective.

Want to know the best Sorceress build in Diablo 2 Resurrected? She's one of the few magic-based Diablo 2 Resurrected classes, able to wield fire, lightning, and ice-based magic to annihilate the demonic forces of hell. The Sorceress has a low health pool and is woeful at melee combat, but she more than makes up for it by having a huge mana pool. If you ask us, though, her best build is the Frozen Orb build as it turns her into an unstoppable chilling machine.

If you're coming back to Diablo 2 after some time apart or haven't played the classic PC game before, don't fret. We have a Diablo 2 Resurrected beginner's guide to help you on your way. However, you've likely either played through the game once or just want the most optimal build.

To help you make the best Diablo 2 Resurrected Sorceress build, we break down all the key points. From the amount of skill or attribute points assigned to the equipment both the Sorceress and her hireling need. We'll also explain the idea behind this build, why it's so good for the Sorceress, and even go over more complicated details, such as Ethereal gear and equipping runes to make Diablo 2 Resurrected runewords.

     Vanguard G-43 ClassThe launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard took fans of the franchise all the way back to World War II. From the beginning, the title has not been short on content. Most recently, the Shipment map made a return, while the Secrets of the Pacific limited-time event has arrived. This year, the marksman rifles are making a statement on the battlefield. The G-43 is the final weapon in the marksman rifle category. With the best attachments equipped, you can build a strong G-43 class to take into your next Vanguard multiplayer match. Already, the weapon boasts a high amount of speed and it is best suited to taking on medium ranged gunfights. Therefore, you will find success with this gun on maps such as Oasis and Decoy. The G-43 is unique compared to the other marksman rifles you have at your disposal. It has an attachment available that allows you to change the fire rate from single fire, to fully automatic. Mostly, this class will focus on improving the accuracy of the G-43 which will prove to...

     Vanguard Svt 40 ClassThe launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard took players back to World War Two. With a new campaign, multiplayer maps and modes, and a new Zombies experience, the title has plenty of content. Most recently, the Secrets of the Pacific event began, allowing you to unlock rewards and learn more about the upcoming Warzone map. The SVT-40 is a marksman rifle that would work well in Warzone, and has perhaps been overlooked in multiplayer. Currently, The M1 Garand appears to be the go-to weapon in the marksman rifle category. However, applying the best attachments will allow you to build a class that demonstrates just how powerful the SVT-40 can be in Vanguard. As the SVT-40 is a marskman rifle, it is traditionally best suited to medium and longer range maps. So, you can find success on maps such as Demyansk and Gavutu. However, the versatility of this weapon and build means that it can come out on top in close-quarter engagements too. Therefore, you can take your new class to smaller maps such a...

     Enigma Archives: RAIN CODEIt's a new semester for sixteen new students in a crazy murder game where you betray your friends! Just kidding, unfortunately. No, this isn't Danganronpa 4, and you won't be able to betray your friends in the same way you can in Danganronpa. This is Enigma Archives: RAIN CODE, a new "dark fantasy mystery" from the same developer. Fans of the Danganronpa series are sure to eat this one up, as it's very reminiscent of the popular franchise. That's because the newly released trailer just oozes with Danganronpa flair. The creative team carries over, with Kazutaka Kodaka returning as scenario writer, Masufumi Takada as composer, and Rui Komatsuzaki as graphics designer. Yes, just about everything feels like this takes place in the Danganronpa universe. From the unique art style to the psycho-pop soundtrack, and even the iconic pink blood, this is not a huge departure from the twisted murder mystery we all know.   Kill your friends? Rather t...
