Upcoming The Lord of the Rings spin-off The Hunt for Gollum is set to take a leaf out of It: Welcome to Derry’s book, as it adapts the appendices from J.R.R Tolkien’s epic novel. Turns out, though, director Peter Jackson floated the idea of bringing the never-before-seen subplots to life almost 25 years ago.With over a year to go before we reunite with Andy Serkis’s Sméagol, fans have un(Middle)earthed Jackson’s commentary from The Fellowship of the Ring’s Extended Edition DVD, in which he and writer Philippa Boyens discuss their idea for a “film we’ll never make.””There’s great stuff in the…
Who mods the mods? A bunch of people, or so was the hope of Fallout: London developers Team FOLON when they released their total conversion of Fallout 4 back in 2024. So far, there’ve been plenty of tweaks and smaller scale additions to the mod’s version of the post-apocalyptic English capital, but no new quests or world expansions of note. Things playing out that way to this point – despite Team FOLON having been very open in encouraging other modders to have a go at making such creations – is something Fallout: London project lead Dean ‘Prilladog’ Carter’s clearly aware…
There aren’t many games where you can play as a little lizard dude. Baldur’s Gate 3 has the Dragonborn, and those of you who have recently returned to Larian’s previous hit Divinity: Original Sin 2 will know that a version of the popular DnD class exists in that universe, too. You’ve got The Elder Scrolls’ Argonians (of lusty maid fame), the Seraphon in Total War: Warhammer 3, and Dragon Khan’s draconate. Not familiar with the latter? Let me show you a Diablo-style gameplay trailer that’s going to blow your fantasy socks off. What I’m saying is, all the best fantasy…

Hayden Christensen has revealed that Robert De Niro visited the set of Revenge of the Sith and watched that dramatic duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.”I remember during one of the days that we were filming that fight, Robert De Niro showed up to set, just because he wanted to come see what we were doing – not us, but George, [he] wanted to see what George was doing. And obviously, I am a huge fan of his. I remember just standing with Ewan [McGregor], and Ewan says to me, ‘Is that Robert De Niro standing over there?’ And…
Arc Raiders recently concluded its first Expedition, this being a voluntary, narrative-led character reset achieved by hoarding and donating resources over a set period. The idea is vaguely that ou’re funding a mighty caravan to the boondocks. In return, you’ll get tiered rewards such as faster progression, bonus skill points and a larger stash. Participation in Expedition is split across various stages with different completion requirements – the final leg of the first one saw players amassing non-specific items worth hundreds of thousands of coins. Being opt-in, Expeditions are designed to be a gentler alternative to the playerbase-wide seasonal ‘prestiging’…
For all of League of Legends’ faults, its vibes are absolutely immaculate. LoL’s artwork is unparalleled: it’s consistently beautiful, absolutely desktop wallpaper worthy, and, perhaps most important of all, truly unique. While Riot has its own internal splash art team, it works with a lot of studios to bring Runeterra’s champions to life. SixMoreVodka is one of those, and you’ve probably seen their work in League of Legends itself and its new TCG spinoff Riftbound, as well as Legends of Runeterra. They’re the masterminds behind Cho’Gath, Darius, Renekton, Singed, and OG Viktor’s (RIP) splash art, and now they’re making Orken,…

Choosing between the Divinity Original Sin 2 Origin or Custom characters is basically about whether you want to play a classic silent protagonist blank slate, or an established figure with a backstory and personality before you get there. DOS2 has six Origin characters, ranging from pirate dwarves to skeleton scholars to lizard lords, but if you’re playing for the first time, is it better to have your own Custom hero or to pick one of the Origin options? We’ll explain below whether Origin or Custom is better for your first time playing through, and what you can explain from each…
“AI is bad, game will be deleted 30.1” reads the headline of the latest a Steam update post about Hardest, a rock-paper-scissors-themed roguelike card battler which includes AI-generated assets. “AI is evil, and game will be deleted 30.1” adds the sub-heading of that same update post, just in case the first line didn’t make the situation clear enough.
