Don’t be fooled by a fake Joel: Helldivers 2’s game master probably didn’t drop an unreleased vehicle into a random player’s game, but someone did
The Helldivers 2 community took the latest in a series of surprised gasps this weekend when a video emerged purporting to show Arrowhead game master Joel joining a random player’s game, dropping an unreleased vehicle onto the battlefield, and then leaving so he can “get back to work.” After Joel’s departure, the remaining players are…

There’s already a Dragon’s Dogma 2 mod to get 99 copies of the ‘change appearance’ item Capcom is selling for real money

I haven’t once thought about my Arisen’s mug ever since I slapped a helmet on his head, but even I’m annoyed that changing your appearance isn’t a god-given right in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Instead, alterations to your character and main pawn come in the form of a book you buy in towns. This book, Art…

Helldivers 2 boss who proudly proclaimed ‘bugs can’t fly’ issues an important update: ‘I have always believed there to be a possibility of flying bugs’
A reality that nobody could have predicted has come to pass: flying bugs have swept across the galaxy in Helldivers 2. While the Ministry of Truth announced the “surprise” mutation earlier this week, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt took until today to comment on the troubling development that he previously declared was impossible. “I’ve heard rumors…

Helldivers 2 community’s ambitious plan to liberate 5 planets in 3 days in jeopardy as galactic war trackers catastrophically fail—but don’t worry, Joel is on it
After last week’s race to gas Terminid planets with super pesticide, I thought for sure Arrowhead would give the Helldivers 2 community a break. Then yesterday, a new major order came in: liberate a total of five planets in just three days—a daunting challenge, but not one that would be out of reach for the…

Peak Dragon’s Dogma 2 is only recruiting the freakiest pawns in the realm, like my best friend Frog Nasty
When I started my Dragon’s Dogma 2 playthrough, I modeled my main pawn after the creature I know best in this world: my cat Riley. In real life she’s a short, wide-faced buffoon with a knack for napping, but for the purposes of serving the Arisen, videogame Riley is a beefy beastren mage who manages…

Rainbow Six Siege rockets back up the Steam charts 8 years after release, proving why Ubisoft isn’t worried about making a Siege 2
Ubisoft’s quietly huge FPS continues to prove it’s not going anywhere. Boosted by a week of free access and a frankly ridiculous discount to $4, Rainbow Six Siege surpassed its all-time Steam concurrents record this weekend with a new high of 201,933. Not bad for a live service shooter entering its ninth year, but especially…

I can’t decide which new Helldivers 2 update rules harder—the wicked hot fire tornadoes on Hellmire or the full-auto laser rifle that melts everything
If you can’t take the heat, get out of the hellpod. It’s been 48 hours since something exciting and concerning happened in the world of Helldivers 2, so naturally, Arrowhead turned on the fire tornadoes. You’re reading that right: columns of hot death have been spotted on the aptly named Hellmire in Terminid territory. I…

Helldivers 2 players are dousing planets in poison gas that Super Earth says will ‘permanently’ destroy the bugs, but we all know what Joel’s really up to
Greetings, helldivers. An official Super Earth communiqué puts the latest Helldivers 2 major order in no uncertain terms: the goal is to “permanently contain” the bugs by dousing four planets in special “Termicide” gas. It’s up to the players themselves to activate these Termicide towers, a welcome new mission type that’s been added to the…

Helldivers 2 players share videos of new flying bug enemy, Arrowhead boss immediately declares them ‘bug sympathizers’ and insists ‘bugs can’t fly’
There’s a new Terminid threat on the horizon, and Super Earth doesn’t want us to know about it. Reports from Helldivers 2 players suggest a new type of enemy has joined a frey: a bug breed possibly called the “Shrieker.” They travel in packs, attack from the skies, and look annoying as heck. That’s all…

Helldivers 2 mechs are glass cannons, absolutely dominate bugs, and 8 other things I learned after an afternoon with the EXO-45 Patriot
We did it, helldivers: Super Earth liberated the exosuit factories on Tien Kwan so quickly that we even impressed Arrowhead, which apparently expected the emergency mission to take four times longer. Our reward is the long-awaited release of mechs. There is currently one exosuit on offer: the EXO-45 Patriot, a bipedal walker equipped with rocket…
