Dead Island 2 was, somewhat unbelievably, initially unveiled all the way back in 2014, promising more of the kind of co-operative zombie shooting action that had made developer Techland’s enjoyable 2011 original a bit of a hit. Since then, though, development has been turbulent, with the sequel missing its initially announcement 2015 release date and losing its original developer - Spec Ops: The Line studio Yager - that same year....

With the premise of being more approachable to newcomers as well as offering better rewards and some quality of life changes, Trials of Osiris introduces itself after a while with a modest revamp. This page will cover the Trials of Osiris start date and when Trials of Osiris will be back, as well as all Trials of Osiris changes and Trials of Osiris rewards that you can expect in Season 15....

They are a series of damaged robotic copies of the exiled Cabal Emperor Calus. Finding these results in a brief conversation with the Automaton, and discovering all six will unlock the ‘Hear, Don’t Heed’ Destiny 2 triumph. The automatons are hidden within the Sever missions during the Season of the Haunted. That means that not all the Automatons can be found right away - you’ll have to unlock each mission in sequence to find them all....

If you took part in any raid during the first Destiny era, it’s likely that you stumbled upon a Guardian wielding this weapon. This rocket launcher was quite the standout, not just because of its Norse-based design but mainly due to its use of tracking rockets. With the right perks this weapon was unstoppable, and everyone was always on pursuit of a possible drop. Whether or not the weapon will have the same sheer firepower in Destiny 2 is yet to see, but for now, this page details how to unlock Gjallarhorn, which requires you to know how to start And Out Fly the Wolves and the steps to complete the quest....

By completing these challenges - some of which involve completing the latest and often more time intensive activities in the game - you can earn exclusive rewards, both in-game and out, including the chance to purchase an exclusive T-shirt. As with previous years, each Triumph is weighted the same, giving you freedom to play how you like. With Year 4 extended until February 2022, this year no longer requires any Solstice of Heroes Triumphs - and instead feature the recent Bungie 30th Anniversary DLC activities....

To get the basics out of the way, Destiny 2 delivers true 4K resolution on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, with pixel counts resolving at a native 3840x2160 on each in a vast majority of test shots. Bungie has developed a dynamic resolution system for this engine (as notably used on PS4 pro), and it’s likely deployed here too, though its appearance is minimal. There’s an element of uncertainty on how the DRS system works too; a lower bounds of 2560x2160 is noted as a very rare extreme on each next-gen machine....

The new season brings with it a new Dungeon, changes to Crucible, and a whole host of rebalances to weapons and abilities. There’s also the usual Power Level increase and new Exotics to look forward to. Here’s when Season 19 will end and everything we know that’s coming soon. On this page: Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph roadmap The Season 19 roadmap, which takes us from December to February, includes the following confirmed activities:...

As of 22nd February, 2022, Forsaken’s campaign, the Tangled Shore destination and the bulk of Year 4’s seasonal content - including the fan-favourite Presage and Harbinger missions - will be removed from the game. Bungie clarified not all Forsaken’s content will disappear - with the Dreaming City destination, Last Wish raid, Shattered Throne dungeon and associated Strikes remaining in the game - while Year 4’s Proving Grounds strike and Battlegrounds will remain....

Though right now it’s just a rumour sparked by an early sighting of the game on PlayStation’s store database, Twitter account PlayStation Game Size - which routinely, and accurately, provides us with early information about the file size and release dates of upcoming titles - believes the PS5 version of the game will release in “mid-February - early-March”. It tallies with the release window CD Projekt Red shared with us back in October....

It’s the first game the company has released since allegations of a “frat boy” work culture at Activision Blizzard were made by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, although it’s important to note that the lead developer here is Vicarious Visions, which has not been involved nor implicated in the legal complaint. “It was definitely very troubling to hear these types of things,” design director Rob Gallerani told Axios (thanks, VGC)....

From your own level to the monsters you fight, there are a lot of factors in play as to how much EXP you’ll receive. Regardless, we explain where the best place to level in Diablo 2 is according to where you are in the game - and plenty of other tips besides. On this page: The difficulty you’re playing, since harder modes will reward you with more EXP, but also penalize you if you die....

If you imagine the entire back catalogue of Hammer Horror films and every episode of The Twilight Zone combined into a single interactive experience, you’ve effectively described the experience of playing Betrayal at House on the Hill. Taking place at a suitably creepy manor house, Betrayal at House on the Hill is a board game that celebrates the most recognisable horror tropes in history, from teenagers exploring a dilapidated house to ghosts haunting a graveyard....

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Snoop, who was asked whether we will see any new music from Dr Dre soon, said “I do know he’s making great fucking music. And some of his music is connected to the GTA game that’s coming out. So I think that that will be the way that his music will be released, through the GTA video game.” While it’s possible Snoop might be referring to the upcoming remaster trilogy, Dr Dre hasn’t released any solo music since the release of his 2015 album Compton, so it would seem odd for him to break his hiatus for a collection of old games....

The game - which is yet to be titled - is in the works at Star Wars Squadrons studio Motive, which is also developing the upcoming Dead Space remake. The project still seems some way off, and EA lists it as in pre-production. As with other recent early announcements, the confirmation appears to have been made to spur recuitment on the game (and also follows earlier whispers of its existence)....

EA Motive’s decision to show off its Dead Space remake so early in development is, by its own admission, a “bit unorthodox” for EA, but it says it wants “to be open with the communication” in order gather feedback on the direction it’s taking. To that end, the developer has shared a few early details - and, in some cases, glimpses - of the remake, beginning with a look at its initial efforts to enhance the original Dead Space’s visuals for the modern era....

This optional encounter can be found in the Stormfoot Catacombs, found in the west of the Limgrave overworld. You shouldn’t have to prepare for this boss - though it’s recommended you bring a shield. The Erdtree Burial Watchdog reward is not worth going out of your way for, but if you’re a completionist, then that probably won’t matter. On this page: That said, if you are finding it difficult, then running the Stormfoot Catacombs area a few times to earn Runes and defeating the enemies within to level a couple of times, or simply returning later - it is optional after all - are good options....

Not only is learning about one of the game’s three witches one of the most rewarding in terms of lore, but you’ll earn the powerful Moonlight Greatsword, a recurring weapon that can be found in virtually every FromSoftware game. It is also the route to arguably the best Elden Ring ending, Age of Stars. Ranni’s questline has many steps, some which can be easy to miss and prevent you from progressing - and hopefully this step-by-step quest explainer puts helps ensure you see your servitude to her through to the end....

Speaking on Twitter, Sweeney re-iterated Epic’s previous stance that the company would not block games that include NFTs based on that issue alone. “Developers should be free to decide how to build their games, and you are free to decide whether to play them,” Sweeney wrote, “I believe stores and operating system makers shouldn’t interfere by forcing their views onto others. We definitely won’t.” When asked how this policy differed from Epic’s other guidelines such as not prohibiting hateful or discriminatory content, Sweeney has said that Epic’s stance was to draw the line at “mainstream acceptable norms”....

To some extent, Sony had set expectations for what the night would bring. This was an event which focused on third-party announcements, almost exclusively from Japan. But what we expected (Final Fantasy!) was not quite what we got (The DioField Chronicle!) and what we initially thought we were seeing (Dino Crisis!) turned out to be something else entirely (Exoprimal, which looks a bit like Anthem). Discussing all of this with me are Eurogamer news reporters Ed Nightingale and Ishraq Subhan....

Crowns are earned by winning certain matches, and are, to quote Fall Guys in-game, “a measure of your skill and dedication”. Also available are Crown Shards - which allow you to make progress on Crowns even if you don’t win a match. This page explains how to get Crowns and Crown Shards in Fall Guys, how to get easy Crown Shards through alternate methods, and what you need to know about the Crown Rank....
