So you’ve made it this far: you’ve defeated four Nightlords, and now you’re ready for the Nightlord in the Night Aspect expedition. It should be no surprise, but as the final challenge in Elden Ring Nightreign, working out how to beat Heolstor the Nightlord is a significant hurdle to overcome. A the last of the…
We’re almost at the bottom of the volcano. After descending into the fiery depths, fighting through waves of Fire Prelates, Finger Creepers, and Flame Chariots, the ancient altar is finally in sight, promising us the ability to forge our own legendary weapons. Just as we approach the special smithing table, a Magma Wyrm bursts from…
When I approach a videogame, all I’m looking for is one thing: the ability to construct a small hamlet. This is why I still, in stray moments, catch myself reflecting with a wistful sigh on my time rebuilding Monteriggioni in Assassin’s Creed 2 or that one village you build in Breath of the Wild. This…
As the opener to an annual tech event, it’s pretty hard to beat showing off what The Witcher 4 will look and run like in actual gameplay, but that’s exactly what Epic and CD Projekt Red did for the former’s keynote speech, State of Unreal 2025. We all knew it was coming, of course, but…

The Elder Scrolls Online just had a huge patch drop yesterday—titled Seasons of the Worm Cult, this new update marks the start of a few key changes to the MMO, alongside a nice helping of content for current or returning players to sink their newly subclassed mitts into. Subclassing, which I had a look at…
“Why send a train to invite us to a black hole?” This mystery sets the stage for Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate, Bungie’s upcoming expansion to the FPS looter shooter launching July 19. Guardians receive an invite to new planetoid Kepler via a time-displaced train car, seemingly from modern-day Earth. Kepler is precariously held…
It’s hard to think of a time in the decade since Destiny launched when the next expansion wasn’t make or break. As the first major release since last year’s The Final Shape, which did the improbable job of landing the game’s sprawling narrative successfully, this year’s The Edge of Fate expansion has the unenviable job…
The chocolate box of exotic gear that comes with a new Destiny 2 expansion is always one of the biggest reasons to log back in. With The Edge of Fate expansion, which launches on July 15, the slate of new supercharged weapons and unique armour pieces feels particularly fresh—including one item, Melas Panoplia, which enables…
