As we creak ever closer to spooky season and a possible second Silent Hill Transmission – the last was just before Halloween 2022 – it seems Bloober Team has quietly been updating the backend of Silent Hill 2 Remake's Steam page.

A brave Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice modder has ported Elden Ring's Malenia straight into the former game, and it works beautifully.
The fight can be seen just below, in which Malenia has been transported into the area of the Divine Dragon boss fight in Sekiro, so the two foes can duke it out among clouds of atmospheric mist. The whole fight flows fantastically well, and it's worth checking out the full video in the replies to the original clip.

Malenia's been ported into Sekiro with a little help from Genichiro Ashina if we're seeing things correctly. Elden Ring's boss still has the Sekiro boss's thrust attack, which you can see represented by the red Kanji above her head, where the player can stamp on her blade and cut out a vast chunk of her stamina meter, seen at the top of the screen.
The entire flight works surprisingly well, but there's a crucial reason Malenia fits so well in Sekiro: the vast majority of her attacks are sword-based. In FromSoftware games we're used to side-stepping attacks, but Sekiro wants players to face down attacks and get in rhythm to parry them away, deflecting sword attacks like Malenia's to build up stamina meters and render an opponent open for a killing blow.
Malenia's attacks might be fast and incredibly furious, but since 90% of them are sword-based, Sekiro can stand defiantly against them, unlike in Elden Ring where you'd have to dodge through them. We'd hazard a guess that putting Sekiro up against Malenia might even make the Elden Ring boss a tad easier, but who are we to say?
Here's hoping we get to say hello to Malenia again in the upcoming Elden Ring DLC .

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile has been delayed to 2024.
Root Resin might just be one of the rarest crafting materials in that you might need at some point. Root Resin is a bright orange substance that has been secreted from the Erdtree. However, they aren't as common as other materials and can only be found in grassy biomes. You can combine Root Resin with Smoldering Butterflies and String to create an item that can be imbued on a weapon. This gives your weapon extra powers, making it highly advantageous to use against bosses and enemies.
Enshrouded has had me feeling some type of way since Keen Games’ initial reveal of the blended survival RPG experience. It takes all of the crafting and exploring mechanics we love from games like Rust or Valheim, combining them with combat and medieval fantasy vibes seen in FromSoftware’s timeless icons such as Dark Souls or Elden Ring. We can soon explore its vast world for ourselves during the Steam Next Fest, thanks to a free playable demo.
The WWE superstar known as the Viper needed a little help to kill Elden Ring's legends, as he says he paid someone $1,000 for a bundle of runes to level up.
Randy Orton is a busy man with things to be doing. The once-upon-a-time youngest heavyweight champion in WWE history has, you know, half-nelsons to be practising, suplexes to be suplexing, and, um, ah, Montreal Screwjobs to attend to?
Arise Tarnished, and behold these delightful Elden Ring mini figures!
If there’s one thing that has in spades, it would be mysteries — plenty of which stand to be solved in the DLC. FromSoftware’s storytelling leans heavily on intrigue, encouraging players to go on deep dives into the lore to attempt to piece together the open threads and enigmas presented throughout the game. This is partially what makes the Soulsborne games so great, and might be the best example yet. However, a few answers would go a long way in clarifying some of the more puzzling secrets in the lore.
Finally, someone has gotten around to modding maps from FromSoftware's recent mech epic Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon into Elden Ring, the studio's magnum opus. While it might seem silly (unnecessary even) to zip around environments designed for massive mechs in human form, fans were quick to note the surprising level of detail and scale the studio had included when seen from a different perspective.
Starfield was extensively playtested by Bethesda devs often working from home, and Todd Howard says this approach worked so well that the studio's going to apply the method to its future games, with the studio's next confirmed, albeit far-off project obviously being The Elder Scrolls 6.
Giant statues broadcasting a mysterious code, monks telling me to open my throat chakra, an ominous symbol added to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and now: a laptop displaying ancient Slavic text dropped into a middle of a landfill and a Johnny Silverhand-themed Wolfenstein 3D clone that unlocks a secret server farm. This is a side of Cyberpunk 2077 I never knew existed, FF:06:B5.
A new Lord of the Rings game, Tales of the Shire, has been announced for PC and consoles.
