Baldur's Gate 3 is a huge game, full of secrets big and small. But according to the voice actor behind the sassy, roguish vampire Astarion, there's a secret section somewhere in Larian Studios' RPG that no one's found yet. I'm now tempted to boot up my save and start pushing against walls until something gives way.

Most Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), a unique asset stored on the blockchain that cannot be replicated (unless you can right-click), have no value.

I'm on a distant planet, seeking out better gear while taking in the epic sights. I should be alert for the dangers that lurk around every corner—pirates, mercenaries, or goddess forbid, terrormorphs—but it seems I keep running into walls for seconds at a time. Why? Because I keep falling asleep.

     Civilization 7 release date and gameplay speculation

When is the Civilization 7 release date? For over 20 years, the Civilization series has amazed PC gamers with its intricate strategy, forcing players to think about more than just conquering their neighbors. Sometimes the best victory is by being diplomatically savvy while secretly building massive cultural wonders, hoping nobody notices, especially the nuke-hungry Gandhi.

Now that we've had confirmation from Firaxis that Civilization 7 is officially in development, we've been gathering as much information as possible about the next installment of the strategy game series. While it's still early days, and we haven't even seen a trailer for it yet, we can at least figure out when you should expect to play it.

     Valorant crosshair codes – the best fun and pro crosshairs

What are the Valorant crosshair codes? Crosshairs in the Riot Games FPS are more complex and customizable than ever, thanks to a recent update. With a complex-looking string of numbers, letters, and symbols, you can change your in-game sights to match players from your favorite esports teams such as DRX, Fnatic, or The Guard, or make your own entirely.

Many of the best PC games with pro teams like to come up with ways for FPS game players to show allegiance to their favorite players. For example, Rainbow Six Siege has charms and Valorant has gun buddies. Custom crosshairs take things to another level though, and can even help you achieve a similar level of accuracy as the pros, too. Different colors or sizes can make your crosshair stand out more, potentially affecting your accuracy. We've collected Valorant crosshair codes for all of the big teams in one place, so you don't have to go hunting around too much in order to equip your favorite Valorant characters with your chosen sight. Jump to the bottom if you need to know how to import Valorant crosshairs.

     Murder Mystery 2 codes September 2023

September 21, 2023: We checked for new Murder Mystery 2 codes.

What are the newest Murder Mystery codes? Roblox games rarely throw up an intense experience as is offered by MM2, a game where you could be saddled with one of three roles; the murderer, a bystander, or the sheriff. The murderer has to, well, murder. The bystanders have to avoid the wrath of said murderer, and the sheriff has to figure out, and eliminate, the bad person.

This Roblox game is more cerebral than most, which means that while you'll rely on your wits most of the time, it never hurts to have a helping hand in the form of some freebies. MM2 codes are difficult to come by these days, but they are released every once in a while when a big update drops. If you're after other gifts, we have Project Mugetsu codes, and Blox fruit codes here.

Revealed during The Game Awards, Blue Protocol is looking to make its mark as one of the best MMORPG games around, bringing a JRPG twist to the genre at a time when the likes of Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy continue to rise in popularity. Making a refreshing change from the likes of WoW and other new MMOs, Blue Protocol brings aspects from the best anime games to the popular multiplayer genre.

What are the new GPO codes? We've got the lot! Often topping the charts when it comes to anime-inspired Roblox adventures, Grand Piece Online codes are becoming increasingly rare, making them all the more valuable with each new update.

Released all the way back in 2021, Grand Piece Online still sees hundreds of thousands of eager pirates and marines flock to its shores every day. And although there's certainly no shortage of Roblox adventures inspired by the One Piece anime and manga, this one still closely competes with the biggest and best. For those, you'll want to check out Blox Fruits codes and King Legacy codes. For the latest competitors to the throne, Pixel Piece codes are proving popular, with Anime Souls Simulator codes and Anime Dimensions codes there for anyone looking for a more varied anime experience.

     Best Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 builds

What are the best Cyberpunk 2077 builds? It's easy to get lost in the bright lights of Night City, which might come as a relief to those who wish to stay out of the limelight but will irk those with a more… bombastic approach to life. Your build defines who you are, how you conduct business, and ultimately, how you dispatch the swathes of enemies who will undoubtedly stand in your way.

You can tailor your Cyberpunk 2077 build around how you want to approach the FPS game - do you want to be an expert in Cyberpunk 2077 weapons? Would you rather settle things with your fists? Do you want to bend the will of the connected city with your Cyberpunk 2077 cyberware? All things are possible. Things get even more dangerous when you enter Dogtown, as mentioned in our Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty review. Make sure your builds are up to scratch with these recommendations from the devs.

     Frostpunk 2 has a rival in new city builder with a free Steam download

Between Frostpunk 2 and Cities Skylines 2, city builder fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming months. A stalwart of PC gaming, it's always intensely satisfying, poring over your intricate topographical and urban designs, then sitting back to marvel at your architectural creations. But even games like Civilization and Command and Conquer, which blend building and extensive strategy, invite a kind of efficient, sometimes detached approach, where you care more about maximizing success and productivity, and less about the personality of what you're developing. This is where Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, available to try now thanks to a free Steam download, comes in, using slick, kitbash building mechanics to bring a personal connection back to the building sim.

As someone who played and very much enjoyed the two previous Payday games, dropping into Starbreeze's sequel for this Payday 3 review felt natural. Like a home from home. While it makes a comfy and familiar first impression, the truth is that the changes within this heist multiplayer game are far from surface level. There has always been a risk/reward dilemma in the series, and this is amplified wonderfully in the latest installment. A fresh coat of paint is also appreciated, but the mechanical changes under the hood are where Payday 3 really shines.

This week we wrote some articles about the hilariously comprehensive Microsoft leaks, and Alice0 wrote one in particular about Bethesda's plans to not remaster Morrowind. It is, she points out, understandable why the sanitised Bethesda of today would leave well enough alone: "2002's Elder Scrolls game is an overambitious, odd, scrappy, and spiky beast. It is a game happy to leave you lost, confused, misunderstanding, weirded-out, frustrated, and stuck."

Yet, Morrowind is loved! And in the comments of that article Nic Rueben mentioned the demo for Ardenfall, an RPG with no release date but a Steam demo. So off I toddled to have a look, and though I haven't played much of it yet, I'm confident in saying that if you liked Morrowind you should check the demo out.

But what we really want to talk about is intellectual property rights! Bill Willingham, the man who came up with Fables (the IP that brought you The Wolf Among Us) declared via. blog post that he's making Fables a public domain property. What does that mean? Can we all just make Fables video games now? And what can we do with Sherlock holmes?

Paradox Interactive and new indie team C-Prompt have announced their debut 4X strategy game Millennia, which I got to play for an hour at this year's Gamescom. With development being led by former Irrational Games co-founder Robert Fermier and Age Of Empires II lead designer Ian M Fischer, Millennia will see you attempting that classic quad of Xs across ten distinct historical ages, starting in the Stone Age before eventually ending up in a "post-modern future", designer Ben Friedman tells me.

The twist here, however, is that you've also got what C-Prompt are calling 'Variant Ages', which let you bend the timeline to your will. Some of these variants are more historical in nature, such as an Age Of Monuments where everyone's building Egyptian pyramids, Friedman explains, while others are more fantastical, with the words steampunk, alchemy and space alien invasions all mentioned in the same sentence. I had a good time with it during my demo, but the real delight was seeing my home army of Kyoto go and invade neighbouring settlement Telford, before going on to conquer Rome - as you do. So if historical melting pots are your kind of 4X jam, read on.

Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion is attracting very positive reviews, and CD Projekt staff are naturally quite pleased about this. And also, very relieved. Released in 2020, the original Cyberpunk 2077 stands as an uncommonly thunderous example of overhype and project mismanagement, with technical issues at launch that extended from comical bugs such as disappearing penises to serious breaches such as graphical effects capable of triggering epileptic fits. CD Projekt have spent years attempting to address the underlying systemic and workplace issues and claw back some goodwill - hence, the general atmosphere on Xitter of developers needing to take five and stare at a flowerbed for a while. "It was a rough few years but there's finally celebration and closure (for me at least)," posted senior level designer Seb Mcbride.

In RockPaperShotgun's own Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty review, Graham summed it up as "perhaps the best expansion ever made", which has gone down a treat with the developers. "Is it? Maybe!" cinematic designer MichaƂ ZbrzeĆșniak posted. "I mean, the amount of work that was put into it results in what I think is one of the most robust and content rich expansions. But we also needed to really redeem ourselves!"

In fairness to rank-and-file CD Projekt developers, many of Cyberpunk 2077's issues appear to have originated at the top of the ladder. Studio bosses confessed after release that they "ignored signals about the need for additional time to refine the game", and CD Projekt Red investors eventually sued the company for making "materially false or misleading statements" about the condition of the game.

Ellis Tucci grew up playing games like Thief, System Shock, and Deus Ex. Now she's making an immersive sim of her own. It's called Spectra, and it's set in the US in an alt-history 1972 where Soviet Union is the dominant military power after President Roosevelt was deposed in a fascist coup. You play as a Soviet agent tasked with infiltrating and fomenting revolution in a fortress city called Hiwatha.

Tucci wants Spectra to meet the criteria players will expect from an immersive sim. "To me, the immersive sim is the platonic ideal of the video game" she says. "I've tried to deliver on that immersion by creating an environment that is extremely interactable and flexible in the ways it can be used." She explains that "a quite frankly silly proportion of the buildings in each map are enterable and that "you can turn off the lights, set traps, and use things like televisions, radios, or payphones as lures."

It sounds like everything immersive sim fans want. But there's one big difference between Spectra and the games that inspired it. Tucci is making it on her own. And she isn't the only indie developer working in one of the most ambitious, developmentally complex genres in the industry. Games like Shadows Of Doubt, Fallen Aces and Gloomwood are merely the steam rising from the bubbling magma chamber that is indie immersive sim development, Like the recent revival of retro shooters, the indie space is on the verge of an immersive sim eruption.

After the closure of original developers Troika, a long-awaited sequel announcement, delays and layoffs at Hardsuit, a secret change of studio (which led to further layoffs at Hardsuit), preorder refunds and the belated reveal that a developer best known for (very good) non-combat narrative experiences would be taking the reins, the only thing I really want to hear about Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is that it's definitely, absolutely going to reach the finish line. There are actual vampires that come back from the dead less often. But I'm piqued nonetheless by Chinese Room studio design director Alex Skidmore's thoughts on how this Seattle-set World of Darkness action-RPG adaptation will differentiate itself from other games in the genre, and especially, how it will put its vampiric premise to use.

This might not sound earthshattering to anybody from outside the videogame world - what are you doing here? Run along and watch your silly non-interactive movies and TV shows - but it's quite novel for a fantasy RPG in the BioWare tradition. In my experience, at least, most RPGs only give you the build-up to a character romance, then flash-freeze the relationship post-consummation, perhaps because you've unlocked a sexy "loyalty" companion ability and the developers don't want to take it away from you. Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the few that thinks about how chemistry might come and go.

FFVII Rebirth Gold Saucer Date

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Producer Yoshinori Kitase, along with Directors Tetsuya Nomura and Naoki Hamaguchi, recently revealed some details about the upcoming game in an interview with Game Spark. Part of it went over how existing elements from the game will be recreated in this remake. In particular, we learned more about what the date event at the Gold Saucer might look like in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, as well as who we may see as options to take on a date. [Thanks, Game Spark!]

Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed that the date event that takes place at the Gold Saucer in the original story will be present in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. He referred to it is one of the most anticipated story events from fans of the original game. As in the original game, the date partner the protagonist Cloud chooses will change depending on the player's choices.

Hamaguchi offered the following comment about the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Gold Saucer date to Game Spark:

This is one of the most anticipated events for this title… I can't tell you who you can date, since that would be a spoiler, but I can tell you that dating is not something limited to the opposite sex.

As a reminder, the original game offered Aerith, Barret, Tifa, and Yuffie as date options. Hamaguchi also mentioned that there would be more mechanics in place in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to make the date itself more exciting than the original.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will release worldwide on February 29, 2024. It will be available on the PS5. There will be at least a three month exclusivity window.

Kuro no Kiseki Heading West as Trails through Daybreak

The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki will appear outside Japan as Trails through Daybreak. NIS America and Nihon Falcom revealed it will bring the RPG to the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC. We already saw the game appear on the PS4, PS5, and PC in Japan. It follows the events of both Trails of Cold Steel 4 and Trails into Reverie. It will appear in Summer 2024.

In this newest The Legend of Heroes games, we'll head to a whole new region. This time, we'll follow ARKRIDE Solutions Office Spriggan Van Arkride. He's basically is a mercenary of sorts who can fight or investigate issues in Calvard. The story begins when a young woman named Agnes heads to Van to get his help on a new "case." 

This entry also features a morality system. As you play, you'll be able to make decisions that shift the scales from lawful to neutral and chaotic. This determines the course of the story. 

Some initial screenshots for the game also appeared:

Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary Art Seems to Show New Hunter

During the TGS 2023 Capcom Online Program, the company shared a Monster Hunter 20th anniversary piece of art that seemed to show a new hunter. The image showed an array of hunters from past entries throughout the series. It also included the new logo for the anniversary in the upper right corner. 

Here's a closer look at the new art. The new hunter is at the far left. It seems like it could be hinting at a remake of the original Monster Hunter game or Monster Hunter Freedom.

The first Monster Hunter game appeared on the PS2 back on March 11, 2004. Following its Japanese debut, it eventually showed up worldwide. Later, a version of its Monster Hunter G version showed up on the PSP as Monster Hunter Freedom. That entry also ended up showing up on the Wii in Japan in 2009. Since then, multiple mainline entries and spin-offs appeared. The latest major release was Monster Hunter Rise for the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. However, in September 2023 Capcom and Niantic released the mobile spin-off Monster Hunter Now

The Monster Hunter 20th anniversary will be celebrated in March 2024. There will be more news about what to expect from it as the date approaches.

Dragon's Dogma 2 TGS 2023

A new Dragon's Dogma 2 trailer appeared during the Capcom Online Program broadcasted during TGS 2023. The new trailer introduced the two nations that will appear in the game. These are the human kingdom of Vermund and Battahl, land of beastren. Additionally, two new advanced Magick vocations were revealed: The Mystic Spearhand and Magick Archer. Oxcarts will also serve as a means of fast travel.

In Vermund, those Arisen that have managed to slay the Dragon have ruled for generations. Vermund is green and lush, and has plenty of caves, valleys, and hills to explore. Meanwhile, Battahl is a canyon nation with a city built upon ancient ruins. The environments and monsters featured in Battahl will be drastically different to those of Vermund.

The Mystic Spearhand vocation combines magick attacsk and weapon-based physical attacks. It introduces dual spears as a new weapon type never before seen in the Dragon's Dogma series. The Magick Archer is a range vocation with a heavy emphasis on ranged attacks, and it mixes archery skills with powerful magick arrows.

You can check out the new Dragon's Dogma 2 TGS 2023 trailer in the video below.

Oxcarts allow players to fast travel. Time will naturally pass with each trip. Additionally, players will have the option to close their eyes during the trip, instantly transporting them to their final location, or let the ride continue for its full duration.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is currently in development, and it will appear on the Playstation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam.

Ryozo Tsujimoto and Yoshitake Suzuki receive Japan Game Awards 2023 Grand Award for Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

The first day of Tokyo Game Show 2023 featured an announcement event for Japan Game Awards 2023. Capcom's Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak won the most prestigious Grand Award.

The Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association narrowed down the top eleven titles from a list of popular games that were released in Japan from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak was included in the list and thus also won an Award for Excellence. The association ultimately decided that Sunbreak deserved to win the highest Grand Award out of the eleven titles.

A special panel of judges, which was led by Masahiro Sakurai and included Yoko Taro and Hideki Kamiya, deliberated separately for the Game Designers Award. The group gave this award to RPG Time: The Legend of Wright.

The presentation also included an award from Japan's Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry. While the minister usually gave this award to individual or group developers, the 2023 award went to Family Computer (a.k.a. Nintendo Entertainment System) for its contribution to the growth of Japan's gaming industry. The console is also celebrating its 40th anniversary since Nintendo launched it in Japan in 1983.

The complete list of winners in Japan Game Awards 2023 is available right below.

  • Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Award: Family Computer
  • Best Sales AwardPokemon Scarlet and Violet
  • Game Designers AwardRPG Time: The Legend of Wright
  • Awards for Excellence:

    9. Hogwarts Legacy
    10. Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo
    11. Resident Evil 4 Remake

  • Grand AwardMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

Sunbreak's victory also marked Capcom's success in achieving Grand Awards for both a base game and its expansion. The base Monster Hunter Rise shared the Grand Award with Ghost of Tsushima in 2021. The company repeated this feat after Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite won back-to-back Grand Awards in 2007 and 2008, respectively.

In the 2022 edition, FromSoftware's Elden Ring won the Grand Award. The game's director Hidetaka Miyazaki also received an award from the Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, the Grand Award winner of Japan Game Awards 2023, is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One.

Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet 151 review

The Pokemon Trading Card Game annual special sets frequently target nostalgia. Evolutions! Celebrations! But more than any expansion before it, Scarlet & Violet 151 builds around the franchise's long-time motto: "gotta catch 'em all."

Featuring the original Kanto creatures and with set order matching Pokedex order, 151 is a set built to be stored in binders. Rather than a smattering of different types and regional forms, the expansion presents each in their proper context and iconic form. This is a set that knows its audience. And isn't afraid to hit it hard in the wallet! Like other special expansions, it's unavailable in individual booster packs and more commonly found in curated boxes with promotional cards and such. (Still, there are "booster bundle" packs and Elite Trainer Box releases, for those looking to buy in more bulk.)

The inclusion of the full Kanto Pokedex means the return of Kadabra. Gone from the TCG for two decades after some legal entanglements with magician Uri Geller, the Scarlet & Violet 151 appearance isn't something The Pokemon Company is particularly touting, but it's notable for long-time collectors. It also means we'll probably see more of fan-favorite Alakazam in future sets. It has made an appearance every time the card game had another "this is a Basic no matter what" concept, like EX or Radiant or V, so we'd bet printing it more often is in the company's plans.

Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet 151 review

Adding to the nostalgia of Scarlet & Violet 151 is the use of "galaxy" foil for the Pokemon TCG set's energy cards. Old-heads like us may remember this holographic treatment from its earliest days, and filling decks with that design might tempt some. (And along the way, maybe they'll open some Eeveelutions or a particularly hungry Snorlax.) We don't know this for sure, but it feels like these foil energy might be in higher quantities than usual? Fingers crossed; it'd be helpful if they are.

Unsurprisingly, The 151 set includes a truly stellar #151, Mew ex. Its Restart ability is a great bench staple, letting you draw up to three each turn. The Genome Hacking attack lets you use any move the opponent's active creature has, which ain't a slouch either. It is, of course, exceedingly rare, though! Even with full-art and gold variants in the set. The Ultra-Premium Collection does include an Illustrator Rare version of the card? At about $120, it's as expensive as it sounds, but it also might be the cheapest way to get one. Just thinking about it does make us start trying to rationalize that "it isn't that good, actually."

Past the Pokedex numbers, we do get a few interesting Trainer cards. It's the first appearance of Daisy, your rival's older sister, who appropriately gets a Town Map-like ability to look at your Prize cards. Bill's Transfer lets you access your deck's Pokemon. Erika's Invitation lets you pull a Pokemon from an opponent's hand directly to the active spot for a pummeling. And yep, Giovanni's here too.

Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet 151 review

It's a weird set to talk about, honestly! We feel like you probably know if you're interested in Scarlet & Violet 151 by the time you've finished reading the name, and what's intriguing here is often the most obvious-in-retrospect sort of treatment for a species or character. But there are absolutely ways to have messed this set up, so it's nice to see it come together nicely.


The latest Pokemon Trading Card Game expansion set, Scarlet & Violet 151, hits stores beginning September 22, 2023. For more Pokemon TCG coverage, check out our archive. Stay tuned to Siliconera for a breakdown of the set's best cards.

Cult of the Lamb Nendoroid Poop

Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for the Cult of the Lamb Nendoroid. The figure will appear in May 2024 in Japan and Q4 2024 worldwide. The figure costs ¥6,500 in Japan and $41.99 from the US storefront. As expected, items from the game like the crown and poop appear. There is also a bonus stand with the game's logo if someone purchases the item from the official Good Smile Company storefronts. We last saw the figure at Anime Expo 2023, though it was only an unpainted prototype at the time. However, a painted version of the Cult of the Lamb Nendoroid is available to view.

The Lamb arrives wearing the cape and hat seen throughout the game. Both of these can be removed for poses. There are three face plates included. One features the character smiling. In another, the character's eyes are bloody as though it is performing a ritual. You can equip the Lamb with a broom or a sword, and there is a piece of poop for them to sweep up.

Here's a gallery showing off the figure in full:

The Cult of the Lamb Nendoroid will appear in Japan in May 2024 and the US in Q4 2024. People can only pre-order it until November 2, 2023. The game is available on the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
