A24’s Elden Ring movie is now filming… and fans have already figured out the perfect themed popcorn bucket for the movie’s release.Every movie is getting its own popcorn buckets these days (though some are more, uh, suggestive than others).

I expect that writing this up is about to make me quite hungry. Dosa Divas! It’s the latest small-scale RPG from Outerloop Games, the same devs behind 2023’s Thirsty Suitors. Where their previous game was all about battling off unsuitable suitors, food takes centre stage in Dosa Divas, pitting you as a pair of sisters and their trusty ancient spirit-mech who are “on a mission to defeat a rotten fast food empire and reconnect communities with their traditions.” And it’s out right now! For those unfamiliar with Dosa Divas, the game takes a turn-based combat approach that very…

Wondering how to get gunpowder in Windrose? Once you’ve unlocked guns and taken down a few pesky enemies from a safe distance, you can get used to a pirate’s life of not having to constantly block and parry. However, gunpowder is hard to come by and even harder to craft. Not only do you need to find gunpowder, but you also need to craft bullets (though you can use pearls found along the beach). The best way to get gunpowder in Windrose quickly is by looting islands, uncovering points of interest, and finding chests. However, loot is randomized, so you…

The Marathon mid-season update rolling out today feels like a major step in the seemingly unavoidable process of Bungie making the game more approachable and rewarding as its player count continues to fall despite excellent gameplay and aesthetics. Bungie made Marathon kind of miserable on purpose, but it turns out that still makes it feel miserable to many players, so this update targets several pain points and at least tries to make the experience more welcoming.Solo players will enjoy a few big changes from the patch notes. Whether you’re actually playing alone or you join a matchmade crew, a new…

The work of an early access game, even when it’s hit 1.0, is never truly done. That is certainly the case for Hades 2, which has received its second post-launch patch today. Nothing mind blowing has been added in with this one, but there does seem to be a few more narrative threads tied up, and a number of quality of life changes. For starters, as detailed in the patch notes, a couple of fated prophecies have received updates. Characters like Odysseus and Arachne now have narrated conclusion scenes, which you can check out in the fated list…

We’re four months into 2026 and, dare I say it, League of Legends feels like it’s in a pretty good state. 2025 was marred with issues around battle passes, balance, and expensive skins, but 2026 is off to a solid start. Season 2 takes us from the petricite streets of Demacia out into the outskirts, following demon hunter Vayne as she seeks out some new quarries. Given the glimpses we’ve seen of new League of Legends champion Locke (now confirmed to be a mid lane AD assassin), it looks like the MOBA’s latest addition may also be some sort of…

Hey, did you know that we’ve been in debt to Tom Nook or collecting fossils for Blathers for a quarter of a century? It’s true. The franchise turns 25 this week, so I thought it was as good a time as any to gather up the best Animal Crossing merch to commemorate the occasion. Whether it’s contenders for the best toys or accessories to add some New Horizons bling to your setup, there should be something to suit any need or budget here.Personally, I’m all about the collectibles – I adore figures, amiibo, or Lego kits that I can plonk…

Arc Raiders audio director Bence Pajor has spoken on the Game Makers Notebook podcast about his earlier career at DICE, working on sound effects for the Battlefield FPS series. The discussion includes some insights about how Pajor – a former Swedish military sniper – created effects for soldiers getting struck by bullets. Amongst other things, he experimented with punching himself hard enough to elicit cries of pain. It’s not clear whether the resulting recordings made their way into any Battlefield game – one of Pajor’s designer colleagues found them so unpleasant that they asked for them to be removed.
