[ad_1] Mojang and Blackbird Interactive shared a proper look at the PvP mode in their upcoming spinoff strategy game Minecraft Legends today, along with an April 18 launch date. Ahead of the reveal at Microsoft’s showcase, Mojang executive producer Dennis Ries and Blackbird executive producer Lee McKinnon Pederson spoke to me about what it actually…

[ad_1] It’s a new year for Xbox and Bethesda, now forever joined in marketing matrimony, which means another livestream showcase with updates on upcoming or ongoing games. Importantly, because I can hear the fierce Googling of it across the globe: Starfield is not going to be at this showcase. Bethesda is planning a Starfield-only show,…

[ad_1] City builders are so often serious business with their resource management and tech trees and threats of impending starvation via overpopulation. I’m happy to get into the weeds on occasion, but sometimes I don’t want to survive. I do not want to manage. I just want to vibe and build in peace, please.  There…

[ad_1] The Sims 4 is getting two new kits (the smallest and cheapest tier of DLC it offers nowadays) this week: some lacey and be-printed underwear and a collection of items for making your Sims’ bathroom vanities as cluttered as your own. Both will be available for purchase (presumably for $4.99 like other kits) this…

[ad_1] It’s been three years since I’ve actively played any of the MMOs I used to main. I’ve tried returning to Guild Wars 2 and The Elder Scrolls Online and Black Desert. I’ve tried getting into Final Fantasy 14 and The Old Republic. By the time New World and Lost Ark turned up, I’d grown…

[ad_1] While launch day may yet be months away, there’s no shame in dreaming about Starfield mods already. I wouldn’t be the first to spitball a slew of reskin mods for Bethesda’s upcoming space game: everything from Star Wars and Star Trek to Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. Starfield is sure to bring all sorts of…

[ad_1] Personal Picks (Image credit: Future) In addition to our main Game of the Year Awards 2022 (opens in new tab), each member of the PC Gamer team is shining a spotlight on a game they loved this year. We’ll post new personal picks, alongside our main awards, throughout the rest of the month. Despite my…

[ad_1] The fact that Potion Craft has a map sounds silly until you start playing. And even after you get the gist, chasing all those potion effects across the map can be tricky through all the fog of war. I’m an obsessive map-clearer, so I invested early in increased visibility skills so I could uncover…

[ad_1] As in past games, The Witcher 3 places of power are special spots Geralt can activate to get a boost for each of his five magic signs. You’ll get a skill point for visiting each place of power the first time and then just the sign buff each time thereafter. They aren’t terribly tough…

[ad_1] My greatest fear about Netflix’s Dragon Age: Absolution was that it might spoil the grand debut of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf‘s new setting in Tevinter. When I finally get to play Deadwolf, I want to discover its surprises myself, not recognize them as reveals already wrung out for a Netflix spin-off. My fears were all…
