Well, it was never going to wrap up that neatly, was it? It turns out that the emergence of an internal memo revealing that Subnautica 2 is aiming for an early access release in May won’t be the moment that the messy legal dispute between publishers Krafton and three former lead developers on the game – one of whom’s now been reinstated – ends. Lawyers representing Unknown Worlds co-founders Charlie Cleveland, Max McGuire, and Ted Gill – the three leads – have now accused Krafton of having “intentionally leaked” the memo from Steve Papoutsis, the exec the publishwrs put in…

The first Crimson Desert update is tackling one of its most frustrating aspects as players start to wrangle with Pearl Abyss’ mammoth open-world game. Crimson Desert is a vast and often unwieldy beast, and its boss battles are particularly so, acting as serious difficulty spikes that can catch you off guard. Making it worse, many of them are relentless, giving you little time to get your bearings. Fortunately, the developer is already responding quickly with some welcome changes, along with additional tutorials, new moves, and more fast-travel points. The most important changes in the new Crimson Desert patch notes are…

Your pursuit of the Crowcaller takes you back into the abyss in the sky, where more ancient machines await your steady hand. When you first arrive in the Crescent Skybridge, make sure you activate the fast travel point on the floor in case you fall off.The first thing you need to do is climb. Your goal here is to reach the upper platform directly across from the laser-firing orb where you arrive.There are plenty of ways to make the climb. You can walk along the crescent edge to the right and climb up the structure there. You can climb onto…

After seven long years in development, Crimson Desert is finally here. Black Desert Online developer Pearl Abyss has launched its new open-world behemoth to largely encouraging reviews. While impressions were initially “mixed” on Steam, they’ve climbed up to “mostly positive” at the time of writing. Meanwhile, the game has a “generally favorable” Metascore.Not so bad, but Palworld publishing lead John “Bucky” Buckley has emerged as an outlier on the spectrum of Crimson Desert reviews, giving the game a glowing (and very unofficial) Twitter rating after spending seven hours with the game.”Clocked 7hrs in Crimson Desert today, mostly goofing around not…

The SteamOS 3.8.0 update is available to try now on the Preview branch, and it’s the first to bring “initial support for the upcoming Steam Machine hardware.” That is, of course, merely a passing mention of Valve’s reborn PC box in the 3.8.0 patch notes. Am I going to engage strong, some might say excessive optimism that this suggests its recent delay and subsequent release date uncertainty aren’t as damning as they look? Sod it, it’s Friday. Those in search of more practical updates, and presumably own a Steam Deck, have much more to chew on. This is a wide-ranging…

How do you craft the Cloudcart? Getting around in Crimson Desert is half of the fun, really. The environments are beautiful, and it’s a genuine pleasure to take in the sights as you attempt to accomplish whatever mission you’re on at the time. There does come a point when traipsing around on the ground becomes tiresome – however, there is another way. Dragons are all well and good, but we all know technology is where it’s at, and there isn’t much more advanced than a hot air balloon in Crimson Desert. You, too, can have your very own hot air…

A citizen of the town is having a bad day in Crimson Desert. First, a rock from the sky fell and crushed his home. Second, bandits showed up and stole his cows. To make matters worse, you’re here to help, and you have no idea what to do.Once you’ve spoken with the despairing man, Bremer, he’ll tell you his story and you’ll be prompted to speak with a witness. Head down the road and toss the witness a copper, and he will mount up and take you to where he saw the bandits.Follow along on horseback and kill the bandits…

Ladies and gentlemen: the weekend. Why not celebrate the end of winter by watching a dang good movie? In order to help narrow down your choices, this list of the three best new movies on Netflix is designed to help you narrow down the latest and greatest the streamer has to offer.Netflix adds new movies every week, and for this list, I’ve picked out three top films that hit the streamer earlier in the week. We’ve got some brain-munching horror, some campy coming-of-age with a supernatural twist, and a franchise about a green ogre and his best friend who happens…

Marathon game director Joe Ziegler has posted a defence of the decision to release the game’s new Cryo Archive map as a weekend-only event. The time restriction has understandably left the more casual Marathon players a bit miffed. It has driven our own Oisin into the arms of Peggle. But Ziegler argues that it’s important for three reasons: encouraging players to prepare adequately, avoiding the “flooding” (hey, is this another Halo reference?) of the game’s item economy with overpowered Cryo Archive rewards, and ensuring a consistent player pool for the purposes of speedy matchmaking. To this, I would add: Bungie…

How do you unlock the Ancient Sealed Gate? The Skybridge throws interesting challenges at you and awards invaluable fast-travel points as you go – not to mention the fact that you get to skydive to your intended destination. There is one island that forces you back down to earth, however, to solve a fiendish puzzle. If you’re trying to unlock as many fast travel points as you can, there aren’t many better ways of doing it than traversing the Skybridge. These puzzles can be tough, but with a skill point on offer as well as a convenient way of getting…
