IGN UK Podcast 746: Is Gravy on Fish Wrong?

Hades 2 lets you bathe with your companions at The Crossroads once you have a good enough relationship with them, although the scenes aren't always as romantic as you'd expect.

One creative The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has recently managed to put together an adorable fishing boat. Their cute contraption later made the rounds online, adding to the countless feats of engineering that Tears of the Kingdom fandom has managed to date.

One of the achievements required for the Good Boy's Leash that has been gating a lot of people from the mount is Taking From Nature, which requires you to unlock all fishing nets in the Dragon Isles — Which requires completion of a daily quest at every fishing hole. The Grimtusk Fishing Hole, located in Azure Span, has been inactive since Week 1 of Patch 10.2.6, and many players missed it due to working on other achievements for the meta.

Players can look forward to a lively May in, with major events returning and new critters to catch. May marks the final month of spring and fall in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, giving players the chance to finish up this season’s activities before the seasons change. New critters to collect and returning events with their own seasonal items will keep players busy.

IGN has shared the first details of its IGN Live consumer show, which is set to take place at the same time E3 used to.

Even in its early alpha state, my extensive hands-on time with Eternal Strands gave me a lot to be excited about. Whether it’s the Monster Hunter-esque boss fights against giant creatures, the interesting and flexible physics-manipulating magical powers, or the obvious dedication to telling a wholesome story filled with lovable characters, this upcoming indie repeatedly surprised me by being very different from its action-adventure peers. By combining a hodgepodge of some of my favorite elements from different genres into one action-packed package, developer Yellow Brick Games hopes to pull off something wholly unique with its inaugural title. After numerous hours climbing atop fiery dragons and freezing pesky knights in a block of ice, I think Eternal Strands stands a good chance of delivering something really special, and I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on it.

IGN is proud to once again partner with ID@Xbox to exclusively present the next ID@Xbox Showcase, which promises to feature some of the most exciting upcoming indie games from around the world, including Vampire Survivors, Dungeons of Hinterberg, 33 Immortals, Lost Records Bloom & Rage, and more.

Microsoft and IGN have announced the IGN x ID@Xbox Digital Showcase, which will be taking place on April 29th. It will be commencing at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, and will have updates from various projects including Vampire Survivors, Dungeons of Hinterberg, 33 Immortals, and Lost Records Bloom & Rage. Other games will be showcased too, including Palworld and what players can expect next for that.

Runa is an upcoming turn-based, Japanese-inspired RPG that's smashed past multiple crowdfunding stretch goals, including the most important one of them all: a promise to add fishing. 

Cardy, Mat, and Emma are here to share their picks for some of the best games you can finish in 5 hours or less this week. A mix of well-known indies and hidden gems, maybe you'll find something new to play this weekend. Before that, though, there's time for some more thoughts about Alex Garland's Civil War and flower-puzzle game Botany Manor. Plus, a nail-biter of an Endless Search.

It's starting to feel like ConcernedApe (aka Eric Barone) may in fact be a modern day Sisiphus, destined to work on Stardew Valley forever. Following on from the mega update of 1.6 a month ago, and 1.6.3 soon after that, the hardy perennial farming game has a new 1.6.4 mini update. The key addition this time is more new layouts that will appear after you reach the bottom of the mines, and more layouts for the volcano mines too. If you've not played Stardew Valley you might wonder why there are deep mines and volcanos, and to you I say "Pah! You should play Stardew Valley."
