Ho, doughty Ascenders and Door defeaters! There’s a new beta patch out for roguelite deckbuilder Slay the Spire 2, following last week’s thunderous rolling of various beta updates into the game’s main release branch. This round of rebalancing takes specific aim at the game’s “baseline” difficulty, while trying to ensure that repeat runs on the very highest Ascension settings are something only a “fraction” of players can manage.
What are the Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred release times? The time has come. Mephisto’s corruption of Sanctuary is well underway. Lilith stirs beneath the surface of your soul, rousing your blood, whispering sweet nothings. Your list of allies grows shorter each day: the Skovos Isles are the last bastion of hope. Sanctuary’s future hangs in the balance, and the stakes have never been higher. The Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred release date is just a few short days away. You’re no doubt wondering when you’ll be able to dive into the RPG and if there’s the option to pre-download to…
Another hotfix has been deployed for Crimson Desert, addressing an array of issues in the open-world fantasy adventure. While players are glad to see Pearl Abyss tending to the game’s problems, some think that it’s about time the devs had a break.The changes in this patch are all decidedly small, but they fix issues that are definitely irksome. One addresses a problem where the game would change your difficulty if you started a new save with another ongoing campaign, while another makes sure font size alterations are applied as quickly as possible game-wide.Two particularly odd ones that stand out to…

One of Blizzard’s former leaders has some strong words for the team behind World of Warcraft following a bug-filled patch that led to the developers apologizing and promising to “do better.”Over on Twitter, former Blizzard Entertainment boss and Xbox corporate vice president at Microsoft, Mike Ybarra, weighs in on a story doing the rounds – one we covered ourselves, in fact – covering the buggy state of World of Warcraft following patch 12.0.5.”Unfortunate,” he says. “WoW has to reset and the commitment has to be clear and firm or it will continue to decline.”Article continues below You may like Ouch.The…
coalescent || tidal rapture (yes, that’s the official Steam page punctuation) is a game about evolution and heartbreak and glorious, glorious wormsex. It’s the story of a society of merpeople who’ve just discovered the practice of casual relationships, and are enthusiastically embracing what I’d guess you’d class as a very squelchy form of Shibari. The recently dumped protagonist is on “a journey of self-discovery and self-denial as they experiment with intimacy, experience physical bodily changes, and try to decide whether or not they want to move to the surface”. What kind of body physics are we talking, here? Well, let…
Almost two years after its launch, HoYoverse has announced that Zenless Zone Zero will be arriving on Steam, available at some point during Q2. Q2 runs between April 1 and June 30, so we can expect to get our grubby little hands on the Steam version in the not-too-distant future. When Zenless Zone Zero launched back in July 2024, it was immediately available on PS5, iOS, and Android, but HoYoverse opted to use their own launcher and the Epic Games Store as the ZZZ’s home on PC. That’s all about to change, however, opening up the gacha game to a…

Invincible’s gender-swapped Tech Jacket helped fix a major comic “shortcoming” according to creator Robert Kirkman.In Kirkman’s Invincible comics, Tech Jacket is Zack Thompson, a hero perhaps best known for bonding with his father over each growing facial hair during their time apart.Invincible’s TV show opted for a different direction. Instead, the Prime Video adaptation features a different Tech Jacket: Zoe, played by Zoey Deutch. Same tech, same jacket, same can-do attitude – and a way for Kirkman to give a do-over to what was, back in the 2000s, a very homogenous cast.Article continues below You may like “One of the…
