Marathon game director Joe Ziegler just published the kind of ‘state of the game’ letter that Destiny 2 players would actually kill for right now. Three months in, the silver bullet has officially been chambered: a PvE-only mode is coming to Marathon, and so is a lot more.Season 2 of Marathon will introduce two more experimental game modes. One, coming at the start of the season, has “a touch of PvP” but focuses on PvE. The other is “a PvE-only mode that’s focused on crews being tasked with completing objectives together and making some progress across matches.”Some Marathon players might…
Zezura is being infected by a mysterious bacterial threat known as Bloom, a virus that destroys everything it touches. The infection cannot be destroyed with brute force; instead, you’ll have to rely on a special tool to clear out this deadly threat and get past the Bloom in Subnautica 2. Bloom in Subnautica 2 devastates areas using parasites to spread the virus to host organisms, stopping you from accessing parts of the map that are blocked off by the infection. To gain access to all the adaptations that give you access to materials like gold and lithium, you’ll need to…
Blizzard was working on Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred before the base RPG even launched, and that's why some of its biggest features were "deployed early"
Diablo 4’s new Lord of Hatred expansion is such a foundational shakeup to the ARPG’s core systems – not to mention a massive content drop – that you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a whole new game. And as it turns out, it was in development even before the base game launched back in May 2023, a testament to the amount of development resources Blizzard threw at this thing.It’s wild to think that Diablo 4 itself, more than a dozen seasons worth of new content, the Vessel of Hatred DLC, and countless balance updates have dropped in the span of…
Swimming around during the early parts of Subnautica 2 feels like such a slog, that is, until you manage to build a Tadpole. This craftable vehicle is the fastest way to get around, though you’re going to need access to plenty of mid-game materials to build one for yourself. Before you build a Tadpole in Subnautica 2, we highly recommend reading our comprehensive base building guide first, as you’ll need an organized place to call home before you can jet off into the horizon. Similarly, you’ll want to know how to clear bloom, giving you access to new adaptations that…
Crimson Desert star acted in The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring but says Pearl Abyss' "beautiful" open-world game is "unlike anything I've ever been involved in"
Scottish actor Alec Newman has inhabited countless incredible universes both on and off screen, having once played Dune protagonist Paul Atreides in Syfy’s Emmy-winning 2000 miniseries before becoming a video game pro with roles in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring, among many other major titles.

Exodus' former studio head James Ohlen touches on why he left Archetype Entertainment: "I was running on fumes"
Back in December of last year, despite being the head of the studio, James Ohlen left Archetype Entertainment, also leaving his role as producer on Exodus behind. It was a bit of a surprise, given that he co-founded the studio after having retired from BioWare in 2018. Now, in a recent interview, Ohlen explains why he made the call, coming down to potentially the most unifying experience in game dev: burnout. “I was running on fumes, and it was hurting my health, and my personal life, and everything. I just needed to step away,” Ohlen explained to PC Gamer.…
One of the ways Subnautica 2 stops you from exploring areas that you shouldn’t be in early on is by raising the temperature in specific zones. The only way to survive the heat in Subnautica 2 is to acquire an adaptation, stopping you from boiling alive in your space suit. Once you’ve done all the simple stuff like increasing your inventory slots and learning where to find gold, it’s time to move on to the more difficult areas of Subnautica 2. By this point, you have most likely encountered enemies like the Nibbler Mango and deadly Marrowbreach, but the real…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 studio Warhorse raises $65,000 to help preserve the real-life medieval castle that's Henry's homebase in the first RPG
Pirkstein Castle is one of the most recognizable fortresses in Warhorse Studios’ beloved historical RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, serving as a homebase for protagonist Henry while the story is anchored in Rattay, but it’s also a real-life landmark of Bohemian medieval history. Pirkštejn Castle is a 14th century Gothic castle situated in the Posázaví region of Central Bohemia. It’s changed hands a bunch of times in the 675 years since its construction and suffered significant damage due to a fire in the 15th century, peasant revolt in the 17th century, and general neglect, but it still stands, weathered as it…
