Battlefield 6’s efforts to break ground while Gittin’ Back To When Battlefield Was Gud continue with the announcement of two forthcoming maps in the EA shooter’s second season, which begins 17th February. One of the maps is Contaminated, a brand new field of battle that is comparable in scale to Battlefield 1’s St Quentin Scar and Arras in Battlefield 5. The other is a remake of Battlefield 4’s Golmud Railway – a big, grassy vehicular affair, based on China’s actually existing Golmud-Lhasa railway line. “In this next session, we’ll be testing content on one of Season 2’s new…
Nvidia is in the midst of a class action lawsuit brought about by several authors, citing alleged copyright infringement for the company’s LLM AI models.

The documents come from the complainant in this case and show emails from Nvidia employees requesting access to the Anna’s Archive repository of books and other online works. The documents then suggest that it was made clear to the Nvidia employee that this archive contained “millions of pirated…

A new Helldivers 2 patch has arrived ahead of the slightly delayed Redacted Regiment warbond also making its sneaky debut today, January 22nd. In line with that warbond’s stealthy shushness, this patch has seen Arrowhead add in new commando missions designed to reward those who know when to crouch-walk. They’ve also revealed that the slim build that’s been in beta for a little while is finally ready to take the reigns from the standard version and its very chunky install size.
It looks like Hytale, after a reasonably successful launch, isn’t resting on its laurels. The Minecraft-like has already released a substantial update, with another, even larger one arriving imminently. However, after sharing the patch notes for Hytale Update 2, Hypixel Studios head Simon Collins-Laflamme has had to give some clarification on the new grimoire to stop “Reddit going full panic mode.” Hytale is a process; it’s an evolving building game that is looking to be as adaptable as possible, both in terms of modding and in audience participation. Collins-Laflamme is in a constant back-and-forth on X with players, taking suggestions…

Our reviewer wrote, “Return to Silent Hill’s nonsensical story strips its 2001 source material of all moral and emotional complexity, leaving only elementary shock value from its original story of a widower tortured by guilt.” You may like In a…
Ubisoft’s bloodbath of game cancellations and restructuring yesterday has attracted the expected fiery response from unionised workers, with the French game industry union Solidaires Informatique calling a half-day strike today. Cost-cutting and potential layoffs aside, the strikers are protesting against Ubisoft’s decision to mandate a full return to office, with workers given an annual allowance of work from home days instead – something a publisher executive has justified as a move “to enhance collective efficiency” and “the sense of belonging”.
