Fortnite's latest season has just come out, and as with each new chunk of the game, it introduces various quests that players can complete for XP. But for Ultimate Doom, there's a unique quest featuring Gwen Stacy/Deadpool crossover character, Gwenpool—unique because it's not marked on the map or in the main menu. The…

     Best Skyrim mods 2024

What are the best Skyrim mods? They can be tough to find because there's a lot of them. They're the work of a thriving and diverse scene; an army of fans and bedroom coders determined to make the game a photorealistic fantasy. Or they're just out to transform farmyard animals into deadly explosives. Whatever floats. But when you're looking for the best Skyrim mods, where do you start?

Installing mods is quite simple for one of the best PC games and arguably the most popular RPG game there. This is due mainly to how Steam Workshop makes it easy to install and activate them, but also that you can add the more advanced ones to a special folder within your Skyrim files. You can also check out our guide to Skyrim console commands for more tips on changing up the open-world game or just making it utterly chaotic. The choice is yours.

     Lost in Random The Eternal Die is a roguelike spin on the fantasy game

The original Lost in Random is one of those real indie game delights that caught me off-guard with just how much I enjoyed it. Part of the EA Originals scheme, it tells a sinister tale set in a stunning fantasy world where everyone's fates fall to the roll of sentient magical dice. News that Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is bringing us back to see where things go next, and that it's further mixing things up with a roguelike spin, has me very eager to learn more.

     FF14 director Naoki Yoshida doesn't like Dawntrail's best character

Of all the many pieces of FF14 Dawntrail, one of its most universally beloved parts is The Arcadion raid series. It takes perhaps the strongest element of the new Final Fantasy expansion - its combat content - and builds on it with a series of bold, dramatic characters reminiscent of pro wrestling, each with their own distinctive personality and a theme song to match. Given the chance to sit down with game director and producer Naoki Yoshida at Gamescom, then, I had to ask the most important question: which of the fighters is his favorite?

     You can basically get the entire Resident Evil series for $30

The future of Resident Evil, Capcom's defining survival horror series, is unclear right now. The next game could be a full RE9, the long-rumored Code Veronica remake, or maybe, as a curveball, a new version of the oft-forgotten Resident Evil Zero. Whatever's coming up, even if you're a longtime RE devout, there's a chance some of the lesser-known games have escaped your attention. Otherwise, you might be a newcomer, eager to give Resident Evil a try, but unsure where to start. Either way, the new Resident Evil Humble Bundle is pretty irresistible - 11 RE games, spanning almost the entire series, for $30. That's $295 worth of games for less than the price of one.

     23 of the best horror games to play right now

What are the best horror games on PC? Scary games tend to turn traditional action concepts on their heads, forcing you to run and hide from your enemies. They leave you feeling vulnerable rather than empowered, and more than most, they are the gaming experiences that haunt you long after you play.

Of course, there is much more to the best horror games than jump scares and gore. So while we have included a few obvious picks like some of the best PC games, Outlast and Amnesia, you can also expect to find games that use different tactics to raise your heartbeat and get your palms sweating, whether that's a dread-inducing atmosphere and careful pacing, or unpredictable multiplayer antics like you'll find in Phasmophobia.

     Best Zenless Zone Zero Jane Doe build

What is the best ZZZ Jane Doe build? Most characters in HoYoverse's gacha game make no effort to hide their allegiances, but Jane Doe is a striking exception. As her name suggests, Jane's identity is a big question mark, so you might be looking for a ZZZ Jane Doe build to shed some light on this mystery agent.

Jane Doe is the first S-Rank Anomaly character to arrive in Zenless Zone Zero after Grace's debut in 1.0, and she's already set to change how we construct ZZZ team comps. In a nutshell, she's a Physical DPS unit that attacks enemies to stack Passion Stream and enter the Passion State, unleashing a sequence of rapid attacks to trigger Anomalies. This powerful combination of damage and support is due to send her straight to the top of our Zenless Zone Zero tier list, and we've got a ZZZ Jane build for the gacha game's resident fan favorite.

     Life is Strange Double Exposure release date, trailers, and news

When is the Life is Strange Double Exposure release date? Max Caulfield, the Life is Strange hero, returns with brand-new powers, new friends, and a new murder to prevent. Max is a photographer-in-residence at Caledon University, mentoring young artists. It looks like she has moved on from the events of the first game, though it's not clear how much our previous endings will affect the game. The developers, Nine Deck Games, stressed the original game's endings will remain 'canon' to each player.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure has been announced as a murder mystery game. Max's close friend, Safi, is murdered and Max tries to use her ability to rewind time to prevent the death. Instead, she opens a parallel timeline, one where Safi is alive. Max can move between timelines to piece together who killed Safi and why. It all sounds a lot more grown up than previous Life is Strange story game outings, which usually deal with the complexities of teenage emotions and coming of age stories.

     All Black Myth Wukong chapters

How many chapters are in Black Myth Wukong? Like its literary source material, Game Science's adaptation of Journey to the West is a linear, story-driven action game split into several episodic chapters. Each chapter occurs in a different location and concludes with an epic stand-off against a Yaoguai King to retrieve one of Sun Wukong's sacred relics.

All chapters in Black Myth Wukong include a selection of main, optional, and secret Black Myth Wukong bosses to defeat. Certain Black Myth Wukong spells and transformations are only available in certain chapters, so it's important to watch out for them on your quest through the action-adventure game. Here's how many chapters you need to complete before you see the Destined One's epic journey through to the end.

     Is Fortnite shutting down in 2024?

Is Fortnite shutting down? The long-running battle royale shooter has been going through some changes as of late. Price increases to V-Bucks, internal layoffs at Epic, and reports of unmet financial expectations and projections appear to paint a rather volatile picture for Fortnite. Of course, it's still one of the biggest games in the world, but is it at risk of shutting down?

Fortnite still receives regular updates, and thanks to the launch of creative mode tools, the community appears to be thriving. Nevertheless, recent news does have industry experts questioning whether the battle royale game has the legs to continue as a top dog in the online multiplayer space. Here's what you need to know about whether Fortnite is shutting down, based on up-to-date information.

     Best fighting games on PC 2024

What are the best fighting games on PC? It may be one of the oldest genres in gaming, but it wasn't until unintentional glitches gave birth to combos in Street Fighter 2 that the first boom took hold in arcades during the 90s. During the next few years, other classic fighters would enter this eternal tournament, most notably Mortal Kombat with its motion-capture gore, while both Virtua Fighter and Tekken took the genre into 3D.

Fighting games would grow out of favor in the 2000s, but thanks to the revival of the Street Fighter series, followed by the more recent rise of esports and, to a lesser extent, the global pandemic, we now have access to some of the best PC games. They're infamous for being tough to learn, but with the help of video tutorials, there's never been a better time to get into these highly competitive multiplayer games. So grab the best PC controller, one of the best fight sticks, or whatever control method you desire to use, and practice your favorite character's combos.

     This is the high-end headphone to gaming headset upgrade you need

If you own a serious high-end set of headphones and have wanted to upgrade them to a gaming headset with a boom microphone, options have existed for a long time. However, they don't always match the build quality, sound quality, and level of slick integration you might hope for to match your headphones. That could change with this new boom mic headphone upgrade from Meze Audio.

The Boom Mic is simply an inline boom mic that neatly attaches to the 3.5mm jack sockets on Meze Audio's headphones and provides a stylish-looking and convenient way to add an audio input to your headphones, saving you having to invest in one of the best gaming headsets as well as your preferred Hi-Fi headphones. Crucially, the connection and cabling of the Meze Audio Boom Mic is essentially universal, with it using a standard 3.5mm jack socket to attach to your headphones. With countless Hi-Fi-grade headphones using this sort of connection, this is an upgrade that could suit a wide range of headphones.

     The best soulslike games on PC in 2024

What are the best soulslike games on PC in 2024? One of gaming's newer genres that got it start with the 2009 release of FromSoftware's Demon's Souls, soulslikes are characterized by punishing stamina-based combat and a 'souls' system, wherein you lose an accrued currency gained from defeating enemies upon defeat. FromSoftware has gone on to release Game of the Year Award Winner after Game of the Year Award Winner with these mechanics, spawning more than a few copycats that take direct inspiration from their mega-hits.

Some things remain the same across all soulslikes: patience in the face of repeated failure rewards you with progress through sprawling worlds. These worlds are typically of a dark fantasy game aesthetic, 'bonfires' or other places of reprieve to rest at, not to mention an increasingly powerful character. And some things do not: many don't lean into both passive and active online play with other players. Here, we're looking at the best truly soulslike games you can play on your PC in 2024.

     New Manor Lords update is a giant leap forward for the strategy game

Slavic Magic's city-builder Manor Lords was a huge hit when it launched into Steam Early Access in April 2024. Since then, the developer has slowly but surely built on solid foundations as it strives to hit 1.0. Available right now, the flatteringly named beta patch 0.7.987 is a tremendous leap forward for the strategy game, adding fishing, crossbow soldiers, and even a visual upgrade.

I play competitive League of Legends - yes, I know, I'm awful. There are several things it's taught me: I have no patience, yelling at the screen when people can't hear you is pointless, and, most importantly, matchmaking is king. One bad teammate can slowly drag you from the edge of glory to the jaws of defeat, and it's only a little bit frustrating. Having played Space Marine 2, its clear that one heretical apple could ruin the fun in both the PvE and PvP, but during an exclusive interview at Gamescom 2024, Sabre Interactive's chief creative officer Tim Willits (formerly of id Software) assures us all that it's still possible to "kick ass" even when teammates are "idiots."

I shouldn't be too surprised really. If a park sim based on Tim Burton's 1996 B-Movie homage Mars Attacks wasn't on my bingo card, it's because I've recently binned it and replaced it with a bobble head that simply nods in amused acceptance at whatever videogames decide to do next. And conceptually, Jurassic World Evolution with captive humans instead of dinos isn't not a potential winner, is it? Still, I was mildly bemused to learn that Mars Attracts, coming sometime next year, is the film's first licensed game. But then I realised that I'd never thought to check before, which might go some way to explaining the lack of them. Do you reckon they did the pun then worked backwards from there? Respectable, honestly.

Earlier today, old man James wagged a finger at us all sternly for not writing about Atomfall before. My turn to puff out my cheeks and look not angry, just disappointed: why haven't we covered The Stone Of Madness prior to the below Gamescom 2024 story trailer? I mean, it's only a real-time tactical stealth game set in a cursed 18th century Jesuit monastery, developed by the people behind gorgeously gross metroidvania Blasphemous. It's only got isometric art inspired by Goya and a sanity/trauma system redolent of Darkest Dungeon. Sounds like an automatic RPS write-up to me.

Remember that puzzle game Unravel and its star: a cute lad made of yarn called Yarny? He'd tackle headscratchers by unwinding the very fabric of his body, similar to how a human being might feed their intestines through a karabiner and use it as a tether for a spot of rock climbing. Well, some of the minds behind Unravel are working on new game called Hela. This time it's less about yarn and more about being a small mouse who does parkour. Still, it does retain some of the bodily gymnastics of its predecessor. Namely the use of tongues as bungee ropes.

I've yet to discover a SteamWorld game I don't like. Whether plundering the earth in SteamWorld Dig 2 or mucking about with magic in SteamWorld Quest, these are solid and approachable adventures that enthusiastically embrace whatever theme the developers have decided upon. Cowboys? Sure. Wizards? Why not. It barely matters, as long as it results in some good puns. As a studio, Thunderful have a reputation for hopping from one style of game to the next, boiling entire genres down to their essence, and reconstituting them with competence and style to exist within a now-familiar steampunk world of colourful pals and Saturday morning cartoon jokes. The studio is a perpetual notion machine. Yes, with SteamWorld Heist 2, they're revisiting the sci-fi bullet-bouncing of their 2016 tactics game SteamWorld Heist, but they're also introducing significant changes to create a compulsive XCOM-like full of sea-faring submariners that may be their best work yet, even against a back catalogue of blinders.

Sorry everyone, I might have to start doing that Token RPS Starfield Liker thing again. The Shattered Space expansion, out on September 30th, probably won't refurbish the RPG's reputation as an overall miss – but it does ditch the proc-gen planet bloat for a single handcrafted hellhole, a true Bethesda speciality honed by years of Fallouts and Elder Scrollseses. And, if its - sadly hands-off - Gamescom showcase is any indication, it might just double down on Starfield's own strengths as well.

We've apparently never written about Atomfall, an oversight I'm now all too happy to correct, having played a promising forty minutes or so at Gamescom 2024. In development at Sniper Elite makers Rebellion, it's a "survival-action game inspired by real-life events" – specifically the Windscale fire, which in 1957 coated much of northern England in radioactive fallout. Atomfall's alternative history makes Britain's worst nuclear disaster even more disastrous, plunging the realm into full-on post-apocalyptica and leaving your good amnesiac self to dodge death with nothing but a cricket bat and whatever you can scrounge out of sheds. I like it! Mostly.

Macross Do You Remember Love Ultra HD Blu-ray will include English subtitles

The first Macross movie will have a new release that includes English subtitles, even though it will still be only formally available in Japan. Bigwest has revealed that it will release the Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? 4K Remaster set on January 29, 2025. The regular set will be available at ¥9,900 (~$67.75).

The set will contain two discs with the same general content. One of them will be an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with a 16:9 2160p resolution, and the other will be a regular Blu-ray disc with a 4:3 1080p resolution. The English subtitles for Macross: Do You Remember Love? will only be available on the Ultra HD version, as the regular Blu-ray disc will only contain Japanese subtitles.

As a reminder, when Bigwest and Harmony Gold signed a historic deal that allowed the worldwide releases of Macross titles in 2021, it did not include the first Macross TV anime and its movie adaptation, Do You Remember Love?, which the latter had localized as Robotech. That causes subsequent releases like the Macross -Shooting Insight- video game and Disney+ title lineup to omit content related to those titles from global releases and make them exclusive to Japan.

Bigwest has also provided a link to the Macross Spirit Fan Club webpage where people can place a pre-order for the Remaster set. However, the website only supports domestic shipping inside Japan. That means people who reside outside the country will have to find another way to obtain the set.

The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? 4K Remaster set will be available on January 29, 2025.

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp going offline in November 2024

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will have its most drastic change in late November 2024. Nintendo has announced that it will end its services for the free-to-play online version on November 28, 2024, at 3 PM UTC / 11 AM ET. The company added that it will release a new flat-fee offline version of the Animal Crossing title around the same time.

Nintendo originally released Pocket Camp for Android and iOS devices in late November 2017. That means the mobile game will pass its seventh anniversary on a rather somber note. However, existing players do not have to worry about their play data. Players will be able to transfer their data to the offline version, provided they have linked it to a Nintendo Account.

The paid offline version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will retain most of the app's gameplay features. However, it will not have features that require online connections and purchases, such as gifts, Market Boxes, Leaf Tickets, and visits to other players' campsites.

The original free-to-play online version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is available until November 28, 2024. Nintendo will release a single-purchase offline version of the iOS and Android mobile game to replace the former. The company will publish more details about the latter in October 2024.
