Don’t you know? It’s time to return to Elden Ring to polish your character before the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion drops in June. For those who haven’t played the base game at all (oh, how I wish I could experience this game again with fresh eyes), you have an opportunity to snag a rare discount on Elden Ring, which is required to own if you ever plan to play the upcoming DLC. If you need more convincing, even after it took home Polygon’s game of the year prize in 2022, check out our Elden Ringreview.

Valve has launched Steam Families — a streamlined, enhanced version of its existing household game sharing tools — and it's available for testing now in public beta form.

Light of the Stars is an upcoming RPG by Mobigames for Android and iOS. But they just dropped a story promotional video featuring an OST that’s quite the earworm. The game will be free to play and is expected to drop by the end of April. So, let’s give you a quick lowdown on the Light of the Stars story PV.

The team behind Disney Dreamlight Valley is working on a new game based on Dungeons and Dragons.

Helldivers 2's brand new Warbond has only just been released, but the Stun Grenade is already a big hit with players.

The Resident Evil franchise has evolved multiple times, much like one of its infamous bosses that you have to blow up with a rocket launcher. For instance, while the new games come with modern camera controls, the original Resident Evil games (or is the plural Residents Evil?) had a fixed angle camera. The tradeoff for the slower and more awkward gameplay was a more deliberate framing of scenes, with each environment carefully set up to build maximum tension.

The Helldivers 2 devs have a pretty simple process for designing new Stratagems: they just make a new one whenever they get bored of the old selection. That's perhaps oversimplifying the process a bit, but Arrowhead Studios CEO and creative director Johan Pilestedt says it's all about having a fun idea and iterating on it until it makes sense in the game.

If you’re one of the Helldivers 2 players who’ve been struggling to take on the game’s powerful Terminids — specifically, Chargers and Bile Titans — you’re in luck. Arrowhead Game Studios published a patch on Tuesday that tweaks the spawn rates of those two bugs. Crucially, Arrowhead said it hasn’t changed the overall difficulty: There will be fewer of these heavily armored enemies, but other bugs will show up “in greater numbers,” according to the patch notes.

Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin received several new impressions and gameplay footage yesterday, outlining the beginning of the game and several aspects of the open world. You can check out our thoughts (and concerns) here, but it’s worth noting that the game has more to look forward to, especially with the combat.

Lego has three new Super Mario sets launching on Aug. 1, and it teased Mario Kart sets coming in 2025. While it only showed a silhouette of Mario’s signature kart, it’s pretty exciting nevertheless. As for 2024 releases, Lego dropped a bunch of details on new sets as part of Nintendo’s annual Mario Day celebration. With every release, it seems like the possibility for antics multiplies. Case in point: Roy, King Boo, and Bowser star in these upcoming sets.

Apple is on the fast track to introducing an entry-level version of the Apple Vision Pro headset, potentially slicing off a whopping $2,000 from its original price tag. While the wait for a second-generation release may extend into 2025 or 2026, Apple is far from idling in its pursuit of a more budget-friendly mixed reality headset.

The official full trailer for upcoming horror film Late Night with the Devil has dropped, and it looks like a mix of The Exorcist and retro late-night talk shows.
