While Elden Ring is technically playable in co-op, the convoluted way developers FromSoftware have implemented the mode means hardly anybody ever bothers. That's about to change, thanks to this incredible mod by LukeYui.

     WoW Shadowlands next update adds cross-faction parties

In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands update 9.2.5, which comes out tomorrow (May 31), members of the Alliance and Horde will be able to join parties together for certain kinds of party activities. That means you'll be able to join cross-faction groups and parties and play alongside your friends in the MMORPG, even if they've sworn allegiance to your mortal enemies.

Shadowlands Update 9.2.5 is a significant patch, adding new questlines for Blood Elves and Dark Iron Dwarves, as well as the new Enigma Crucible PvP arena. All wings of Torghast, Tower of the Damned will be opened (instead of having only two wings open per week), and there's a redesign for the report player menu pane.

But perhaps the most significant change with this patch is the addition of cross-faction instances. It's not a free-for-all, mind, because the Alliance and Horde remain generally hostile to each other. However, if you have a friendship via BattleTag or Real ID with a player who is a member of the opposing faction, you will be able to invite them to a party once the patch arrives.

     Euro Truck Simulator 2 Heart of Russia DLC is cancelled

The Euro Truck Simulator 2 Heart of Russia DLC was just weeks away from completion at developer SCS Software back in February, when the Russian Federation launched its invasion of Ukraine. Now, in light of the war, the studio says it has decided to cancel the expansion to avoid the appearance of offering any support to the Russian side of the conflict.

SCS Software says that on February 24, the Heart of Russia team was about "6-8 weeks" away from being ready to launch the map expansion for their popular simulator game. "We all felt really good about the result; a lot of effort had been invested in making this new region look truly fantastic in the game," the devs write in the latest blog post. "We were absolutely sure that our community, especially those in Russia, would really appreciate that."

The studio scrambled to put together a Ukraine charity DLC to offer assistance to Ukrainians fleeing the war, and to date about 85,000 copies of the Ukrainian paint jobs DLC have been sold.

     DnD inspired RPG Alaloth blends Baldur's Gate and Dark Souls

It's been two years since we first heard about the DnD-inspired RPG game Alaloth: Champions of the Four Kingdoms, and since then, the developers have gone silent. That is, until today. Now there's a brand new trailer showcasing loads of gameplay, as well as the hint of some important news coming this summer - possibly an Early Access release date.

The new gameplay trailer for Alaloth provides our most extensive look yet at the world and its inhabitants, which include townsfolk busily tending to their day-to-day errands, as well as imposing giant knights and a fire breathing horned turtle. It looks like a blend of early Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook art, Baldur's Gate, and Dark Souls - this last being thanks to its slower-paced, real-time combat that's focused more on small, difficult engagements rather than decimating massive hordes of trash mobs.

The look, however, is decidedly old school - Alaloth is visually evocative of the original Infinity Engine games like Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment, from the hand-crafted backgrounds to the character animations.
