Baldur's Gate IP overlord Wizards of the Coast reveal a new Dungeons & Dragons single-player action adventure

3 weeks ago | rockpapershotgun.com | Mark Warren

With Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian now off doing their own thing and making multiple games that aren't Baldur's Gate 4, BG IP owners Wizards of the Coast have just revealed something that might help fill that void. They've agreed to a publishing deal that'll see relatively new studio Giant Skull create a new game set in the D&D universe.
Fallout: London’s DLC is still “coming soon”, but you can now immersively drink its irradiated tea in VR

Published on June 2, 2025 Fallout: London might have launched buggier than a holiday at a nature reserve dedicated to cockroaches and coders, but since that point Team FOLON’s put a lot of effort into making sure people can enjoy the pretty damn good game it’s created. While you’ll have to wait a bit longer for some Londony DLC, you can now play some of the mod in VR.
Elden Ring Nightreign's been out less than a day, and a Souls legend is already showing off a duos mod demo for it, because of course they are

Published on May 30, 2025 Boy, that escalated quickly. Elden Ring Nightreign, as I write this, has been out less than a day. So, of course someone's already put out a video demonstrating a duos mod for it. To be fair, I guess Nightreign's devs had arguably thrown down the gauntlet to the FromSoft modding community when the game's director admitted that duos play hadn't been a big focus in development and would only potentially get some TLC further down the line.
Wahey, Helldivers 2 players have seen off the squids and saved Super Earth (for now), cue an over 500 comment-long train of salutes that's still growing

Published on May 30, 2025 It's over. Well, for about ten minutes. Helldivers 2's battle for Super Earth has ended, with the Helldivers emerging from the siege victorious and seeing off the Illuminate. For now.
Surprise, The Witcher 3's getting one more cheeky patch ten years on so you can enjoy mod support across consoles and PC for Gerry's big adventure

Published on May 30, 2025 The Witcher 3. It's a decade old now. CD Projekt's well on its way with The Witcher 4. However, in a really cool turn of events, the studio's now realed it'll be putting out one more patch for TW3 later this year, finally bringing mods for it to consoles. Yep, clearly CDPR didn't get enough of a kick out of releasing those REDkit modding tools on PC and seeing all the cool stuff folks got up to with them.
Oblivion Remastered just got a full Skyrim-style smithing system thanks to a modder, in case you've missed making stuff by getting very good at banging hot things

4 weeks ago | vg247.com | Mark Warren

Right, so. Oblivion Remastered modders continue to find ways to pull off really cool stuff despite not having any official tools. The latest interesting new mod to drop adds a whole Skyrim-style smithing system and skill to the game, and it's by someone who'd already blown us away with their faction overhauls. Yep, modder ColdTyrant's back at it again, clearly not having been content with all of the interesting Oblivion Remastered modding efforts we recently chatted to them about.
With the Illuminate now on the verge of defeat, Helldivers 2 was just hit with a fresh barrage of Steam review bombing apparently rooted in a Galactic War comms mix-up

4 weeks ago | vg247.com | Mark Warren

Helldivers 2 has been hit with a fresh burst of negative reviews on Steam over the past couple of days, and it looks like the reason for this uptick is rooted in an alleged Galactic War messaging mix-up involving Chinese players keen to defeat the Illuminate. The good news is that the squids may soon suffer that exact fate, with the battle for Super Earth now in the final stage of its final stage. Though, it has taken Super Earth's president getting killed in action to get us to that point.

MindsEye, the GTA-ish, Cyberpunk-ish action game about fighting killer AI bots that also includes UGC systems that'll let you create your own races and levels actually pulled those systems from the weird platform thingy it was originally planned to launch as part of.
Elden Ring Nightreign gets a pre-day one patch to deliver some cheeky last minute build tweaking before your first steps in Limveld, and offer advice on some PC issues

4 weeks ago | vg247.com | Mark Warren

Published on May 29, 2025 Elden Ring Nightreign comes out tomorrow, May 30, meaning that your wait to sample a thing we thought was quite good is almost over. Before you hop into classic ER to fight one last Malenia battle for the road, it's worth checking out the contents of the game's first patch - Version 1.01 - which FromSoft has handily deployed about a day early.
Only two cities are still standing in Helldivers 2's battle for Super Earth, and Arrowhead's kicked off an extra mission that might heal the player base's biggest divide

4 weeks ago | vg247.com | Mark Warren

Published on May 29, 2025 The last stage of Helldivers 2's battle for Super Earth is coming down to the wire, as we all expected, wth just two of the planet's seven mega cities still holding out against The Illuminate.
