Anthem private server experimentation's underway, as the shooter's subreddit mods rethink retirement plans
Last week, EA followed through on plans outlined in 2025 by shutting down the servers of Bioware’s Anthem. Pretty much since the shooter’s fate was set in stone, there’s been the natural chatter about whether it could potentially be kept online or revived down the road in some fashion. At this early stage, there’s been no huge re-emergence, but that doesn’t mean folks aren’t experimenting to see what such a thing might involve.
Oh my god, okay. It’s happening (maybe)! Fortnite is no stranger to a collaboration – anything that remotely touches social consciousness seems to get a showcase in the battle royale game, including but not limited to: any and all Star Wars, just general Marvel stuff, Neymar, and, erm, Sabrina Carpenter. There’s just no telling what form your killer will take the next time you drop in, and at this point, I’ve stopped trying to guess. There’s a potential leak, a rumor, that Fortnite’s next collaboration may take a decidedly more pedestrian angle. The Office – yes, that The Office -…

Life is Strange: Reunion, the time-fiddling finale of co-protagonists Max and Chloe's tale, arrives in March
The next Life is Strange game, dubbed Life is Strange: Reunion, is set to arrive in March. Officially revealed following an impromptu teaser from PEGI earlier this month, this new entry sees series stalwarts Max Caulfield and Chloe Price serve as co-protagonists. The former’s still able to stick time in reverse and the latter’s return provides the verbal prowess necessary to solve a blaze-based mystery.
Bungie is no stranger to unusual bugs – I’ve been playing Destiny 2 long enough to know that. But Marathon has already suffered from a rather odd one despite not even being out yet. Pre-orders for the extraction shooter went live on Monday, January 19, and as I reported yesterday, it seems to be doing rather well for itself. Once labeled ‘dead on arrival,’ things feel more optimistic now. However, those pre-ordering on Steam may have noticed something strange – in some cases, purchasing Marathon was triggering the installation of Destiny 2 on your PC. While this could be seen…
Weapons in Resident Evil 4’s 2023 remake have a bunch of variables you need to consider when picking the “best” one. The base stats of a gun can be very different from a fully tuned version with the Exclusive upgrade unlocked. If you want to breeze through RE4, you’ll need the best guns in the game, and we’re here to help with that.We’re listing the best weapons for each of the main types: handguns, shotguns, rifles, submachine guns, magnums, and knives. It’s not just about power, but handling and efficiency, too. We’ll be taking everything into account to nail down…
Anthem fan gets BioWare's looter shooter running again without EA's dead servers only days after shutdown, making a fan revival seem more likely than ever
It’s now been a week since Anthem’s demise, but it suddenly seems a whole lot more likely that fans might be able to get BioWare’s looter shooter up and running again themselves, even if EA pulled the plug on its servers.Previously, Anthem executive producer and Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah explained that “Anthem actually had the code for local servers running in a dev environment right up until a few months before launch,” and while he’s not sure if they’d still work, “the code is there to be salvaged and recovered.” As he explained at the time, this would mean…
Marathon Steam pre-orders no longer automatically try to install Destiny 2, as Bungie fix Freudian slip/bug
Ah, no, not that one. That, I assume, has been the reaction of folks who’ve gone to pre-order the Marathon reboot on Steam, and immediately been informed that Destiny 2 is sneaking its way back onto their machines. Thankfully, Bungie have now fixed whatever issue was causing the latter to take pre-purchases of the former as a cue to re-install itself.
Nvidia beats Apple to become chipmaker TSMC's biggest customer, and I'm not sure that's a good thing
In case it wasn’t already abundantly clear, Nvidia is doing pretty well right now, thanks mainly to demand for its AI processors. However, the true scale of its might has been made even more transparent by the revelation that it has now overtaken Apple to become the biggest customer of Taiwanese chip-making giant, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Where in 2024, Nvidia provided just 11% of TSMC’s revenue, coming in a distant second place to Apple’s colossal 25% contribution, Nvidia has now apparently overtaken Apple. Not only is this a strong indication of just how much AI is impacting the…
