     WoW Warlock demons receive some Zandalari troll flavour

Most MMORPGs, certainly those with significant followings, employ a veritable army of artists, designers, 3D modellers and animators. World of Warcraft is certainly no exception; but with the sheer industrial quantity of content that is regularly poured into the game with every expansion or major update, certain elements are going to fall by the wayside. One such element is cosmetic glyphs. WoW Warlocks have plenty of these, which range from demon makeovers to spell recolours, but for many players, it's not enough. Reddit user Fishbones06 clearly shares the community's disappointment with this state of affairs, as they've designed a batch of 12 new cosmetic glyphs for Warlocks to spruce up their pets with.

     Best VR headset in 2022

The best VR headset could take gaming PC setup to the next level, especially if you're looking to play games like like Half-Life: Alyx, Beat Saber, and Resident Evil 4. Sure, today's virtual reality tech is more Lawnmower man than Ready Player One, but concepts like the metaverse and augmented reality are all seemingly a part of what's to come.

Choosing the best VR headset seems simple on the surface, but there are industry changes in motion that could complicate venturing into virtual reality. For starters, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has ditched its iconic Oculus branding in favour of a new Meta Quest label. While this means the Oculus Quest 3 will likely arrive with a different moniker, metaverse devices like the upcoming Project Cambria are also now the social media giant's priority.

Of course, Meta isn't the only player within the VR space, as HTC and Valve are also in the running. Each headset contributes to immersive gaming in its own way, so it's important to consider the specs, price, and drawbacks of each device. To help you get on your virtual feet, we've tested a bunch of PC VR headsets in an attempt to make the murky waters of the metaverse a little clearer.

The MSI Katana GF66 12U is a traditional gaming laptop through and through. That's not to say it doesn't pack a punch, as it wields a panel that'll please competitive PC players and esports enthusiasts alike. Yet, it feels as though MSI has taken a muddled approach with its budget model specs, resulting in a price that could sway you to look elsewhere.

The OneXPlayer Mini AMD is a handheld gaming PC that boasts many great qualities, making it a worthy challenger to the Steam Deck and other portable competitors. While each device has their own unique set of strengths and features, one key advantage this orange-black pocket rocket has over Valve's portable powerhouse could tip the scales in its favour.

Unity Software have chosen to reject a $17.54 billion (£14.58 billion) all-stock takeover offer from mobile gaming technology company AppLovin to instead pursue their own planned merger with AppLovin's rival ironSource. Unity's board of directors unanimously cast aside the AppLovin offer, which hadn't been sought by the game engine company, after a "thorough financial and strategic evaluation". The board has recommended that shareholders vote against AppLovin's offer.

Alone in the Dark

Classic horror series Alone in the Dark is coming back, again. THQ Nordic announced that it's working on a new game to bring the franchise back to its roots. The game doesn't have a release window as of yet, but it's targeted for the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

[Update: Corrected some information about the franchise's timeline. Thanks to @FeoUltima for the correction!]

In a pitch posted to the PlayStation Blog, THQ Nordic said that the game will simply be called Alone In The Dark. This makes it the third game to bear that title. The first was the 1992 original, which pioneered many of the elements that Resident Evil would help popularize on consoles. It spawned two sequels and the Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare reboot in 2001. The original trilogy received a sequel in 2008 on PS2, PS3, and Wii. It was also called Alone in the Dark, but was renamed Alone in the Dark: Inferno for the PS3 release. The last game to bear the brand was 2015's Alone in the Dark: Illumination, an online multiplayer spin-off of Inferno.

Check out the Alone in the Dark  reboot teaser below.

According to THQ Nordic, the game will be developed by Pieces Interactive. Involved staff include Mikael Hedberg, the writer of horror games SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and monster designer Guy Davis, a collaborator with director Guillermo del Toro. As a reboot, it will feature an original story set in the 1920s, and have elements from the original game. The Derceto Mansion, characters like Emily Heartwood and Edward Carnby, and more will be drawn from the original.

The gameplay for Alone in the Dark will be similar to survival horror by more modern standards, with third-person combat and other contemporary gameplay conventions.

Alone in the Dark is in development for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
