A new Xbox console has been certified in South Korea. Identified by model number 2089, the newly leaked device has been labeled as an Xbox dev kit.

It’s finally here! I usually avoid cliché terminologies like ‘much-awaited,’ but in this case, I’m compelled to use it. Wondering which game I am talking about? Well, the much-awaited sequel to AFK Arena, AFK Journey, is set to drop on March 27, 2024. This free-to-play fantasy RPG will be available on both mobile and PC devices.

Masters of the Air tells the story of the Eighth Air Force’s 100th Bomb Group, also known as the Bloody Hundredth, which used its fleet of B-17 heavy bombers to cut a swathe of destruction from the English Channel to Berlin during World War II. The nine-part Apple TV Plus miniseries, which airs its final episode Friday, is basically everything that baby Charlie — his nose pressed against the pages of obscure history books all throughout middle school — could’ve ever hoped for. But, now that it’s over, I think I’ve found a way to extend the experience just a little further thanks to B-17 Flying Fortress Leader, an excellent solitaire board game from Dan Verssen Games.

Helldivers 2 is an action-packed third-person shooter full of hostile planets, relentless enemies, and many, many explosions. But between all of the bug splatting and robot crumpling is a long list of memorable quotes that somehow never get old. Ranging from punchy, tongue-in-cheek one-liners that would rival the best 80s’ Arnie movies, to hilarious declarations of propaganda-propelled patriotism, they underline the satirical foundations of Super Earth’s storytelling.

A fan excited for Dragon's Dogma 2 is putting in the work to ensure their character looks the part for the RPG's upcoming release—27 hours of work, to be exact.

Last month, Helldivers 2 players were mourning the loss of Malevelon Creek, a planet so hotly contested between the people fighting for Super Earth and the Automaton threat that it was officially dubbed "Robot Vietnam" by the community. It was a very long and tough fight that eventually ended in defeat, but a small group of players has been plugging away ever since, determined not to let the planet be completely overrun.

Helldiver 2's Malevelon Creek is now so renowned that the player-driven campaign to retake the planet now has its own movie parody trailer, and it has the approval of the game's director to boot.

The sequel to emotional 2014 World War I adventure game Valiant Hearts: The Great War has hit PC, after a year and change locked down to mobile devices and a Netflix subscription - and a decade after its predecessor.

Helldivers 2 has plenty of weapons in its armory for players to gun down robots and bugs with, but one thing that has been a constant request from the fanbase is the addition of mechs. Leaks from last month appeared to show off gameplay footage of mechs in action, and an official post from the Helldivers 2 Twitter account teased that they'd be "on the battlefield soon" and are in production in factories across the planet of Tien Kwan.

Further light has been shed on the mysteries of the Helldivers 2 universe, in which those titular heroic troopers spread Democracy to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, crushing both Bugs and Bots under polished jackboots. What insidious intelligence directs these loathsome foes of Freedom and Liberty, you ask? An Arrowhead Game Studios employee named Joel.

Intel's Core i9-14900KS CPUs are showing up in buyer's hands ahead of launch and it looks like the chip is a voltage-heavy monster too.
