Overwatch 2’s next season, which starts tomorrow, will kick off with not just a new DPS hero, but a two-week-long trial run of its newest game mode, Clash, which feels designed for constant, MOBA-style combat. The Clash trial will take place on Hanaoka, a map that looks surprisingly similar to Hanamura from the original Overwatch.…

Prolific Elden Ring dataminer Sekiro Dubi has released a long video outlining alternate versions of some of the game’s extensive underground areas. These zones seem to tie into a previous iteration of Elden Ring that involved more world map altering “cataclysms” similar to the meteor that strikes Limgrave in the final game. Elden Ring’s vast…

All new technologies come with a learning curve. And with the cataclysmically desirable new Alienware 32 AW3225QF, we’re definitely learning some lessons about OLED as a display solution for PC gaming.  This is not, in fact, the first of the brave new 4K OLED generation we’ve sampled.

A plan to bring the not-quite-dead asymmetrical survival joint Friday the 13th: The Game back to life has been abandoned just days after it was announced thanks to a cease-and-desist letter accusing the project of “cavalier disregard of copyright law.” The axe first fell on Friday the 13th: The Game way back in 2018 thanks…

 On my personal Starfield wishlist is an expansion to the planetary base system. Bases can be useful—you can hire NPCs to work there and generate resources from the planets you build on—but they’re not much fun, and once you’ve set them up there’s very little reason to hang around. It’s a part of the game…
