Open your cute Orcish vampire gob, Hytale's next update has summonable skeletons and non-scary snakes to shove in there
The second post-release update to Hytale is currently set to rock up this weekend, but the notes outlining what it’ll include have rocked up a couple of days early. As with last week’s first update to the early access sandbox, this is another pretty beefy one, and especially noteworthy if raising the dead’s your jam or you share Indiana Jones’ main fear.
Razer’s next flagship gaming mouse might have just been spotted at the recent VCT Americas Valorant tournament. BBL member Rose was seen using a mysterious camouflaged mouse, and it looked suspiciously like a new Razer Viper V4 Pro. Razer has pulled such a move before, with us spotting the Razer Deathadder V4 Pro being used openly in tournaments months before the its official launch. That mouse went on to be one of the best gaming mouse options of last year, and I suspect the Viper will stand a good chance of earning similar honors. The new model was spotted by…

Gaming mice have an esports problem, which is why today's flagships aren't actually for you (or me)
I’m not a competitive player, but I’ve logged so many hours in Apex Legends and CS2 trying to find the best gaming mouse models that I might as well be. Most rodents that pass my desk these days are built with one thing and one thing only in mind; winning elite-level tournaments. The only problem is, most players have far more on their minds.High-speed 8,000Hz polling rates, incredibly low weights, and the same two side buttons have come to dominate the flagship landscape. We’ve stagnated in one corner of the market, and the same attention isn’t being paid to the…
World of Warcraft devs Blizzard will offer folks a free wardrobe change just before Midnight, following fashion fee furore
Fine, we’ll let you hop in whatever the MMO equivalent of Superman’s phone booth is for a single round of free outfit transmog just before the launch of March’s Midnight expansion. So have degreed World of Warcraft makers Blizzard, in the face of vocal vexation among players unhappy about a sudden hike in clothes changing prices that arrived with the game’s latest patch. This isn’t the only time Midnight’s ended up under a microscope fore money-related reasons prior to release, but it is the first time the ire’s been exclusive to fashionistas.

Often, the gaming internet depresses me with *gestures expansively*, but sometimes, it delights me with some relatively specific and impassioned Thing like, in this case, a single-player aerobatics sim dedicated to formation flying. Created by Japanese indie CloveTek, Dancing Wings – The Aerobatic Simulator is as far from yer Ace Combats and Delivery Must Completes as you can get while still having wings. A bunch of wise guys have tagged it “Automobile Sim” on the Steam page, but ignore them! I expect they’re just sore about never having performed a genuine Immelmann turn. Here’s a trailer.
Arknights Endfield disables PayPal transactions, as players report being charged for things they didn't buy
Arknights: Endfield has been a long time coming. First appearing in 2022, then holding its first technical test in 2024, Hypergryph’s anime adventure mixes up the Genshin-esque open-world formula. We’ve seen gacha games come out with new, unique mechanics – Morimens feels more Slay the Spire, and Ananta’s Spider-Man web slinging has drawn many an eye – but Arknights’ base building and resource scavenging have attracted some serious attention. But things haven’t gotten off to a great start in one big way. Despite only launching earlier today (Thursday, January 22), some players have reported issues with PayPal transactions. It appears…
