New Weapon Models on TWW Alpha - Updated Shalamayne

We've datamined a handful of new Earthen tools and ornate jeweled weapon models in this week's update for The War Within Alpha! While the tools appear to be fairly basic farm and mining implements, the weapons are similar in style to many of the Earthen weapon and armor models found in last week's build.

A new Helldivers 2 update is on the way, this time with the newly announced Polar Patriots Warband releasing on May 9. This content update brings a plethora of new items and weapons into the fold for use in missions in Helldivers 2, as well as a ton of new customization options.

Helldivers 2 oddly requires that I spend its in-game currency on items I don't want (capes, helmets, any emote other than the hug) just so I can gain access to the items I do (sniper rifles, SMGs, other weapons that ultimately turn out to be worse than what I already had).

The long-delayed Star Wars: Hunters finally has a new release date. Back in 2021, Lucasfilm Games and developer Zynga announced Star Wars: Hunters, a squad-based arena shooter set after the fall of the Galactic Empire at the end of the original Star Wars movie trilogy. Players can choose from characters like Rieve, a dark-side-empowered warrior, a lightsaber-wielding droid called J-3DI, and even Utooni, a pair of junk-scavenging Jawas stacked together. Each of these characters has their own unique abilities, which will come in handy during frantic battles across several classic Star Wars locations.

Fallout 5 won't start development until after The Elder Scrolls 6 launches, so we're a long way off from the next numbered game in the series, but the Amazon show has ignited a newfound hype in the franchise. So, the question is whether a third party will develop a spin-off akin to Obsidian's New Vegas in the meantime.

Apple is finally taking some strict action on apps that claim to use AI technology to generate nude images of people who have not given their consent. Apple has removed at least three AI nude image generator apps who offered services like face swaps or ‘undressing' where AI was used to remove clothes in images of people. These deepfake apps gained popularity through Instagram ads. While Meta was quick to take down the ads redirecting users to download such apps, Apple took a while to respond. It was only after a report by 404 Media that Apple took steps.

A recently uploaded teaser for Season 12 of Sea of Thieves features some of the additional content that the upcoming major update will bring, including new weapons and items. The Unreal Engine 4-powered game, which is published by Microsoft and is part of the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, is set to become available on the PlayStation 5.

, the long-running post-apocalyptic franchise's online multiplayer title, has seen a major resurgence, largely due to the success of Amazon's TV series, and tie-in promotions that gave the game away for free to Prime Gaming subscribers, or at a heavily discounted price to other players. With the game's player base larger than ever, now's a perfect time for Bethesda's latest update to the game, which expands the map and adds several new features.

In this post, we're taking a look at all the new «Earthen Dungeon» armor and weapon models in the War Within, presumably from the eight new expansion dungeons. Note that while the weapons come in many colors, the available armor tints are limited--we expect them to increase as the alpha progresses. The cloth set will also have a robe option in the future.

With Blizzard officially revealing the start date for Mists of Pandaria Timerunning, they've also given us a good idea of when it will end, as The War Within Alpha client lists the event running from May 16th to August 19th! While this is not yet officially confirmed and nothing on the Alpha is definitively final, the fact that the start dates match makes it likely that the end dates will as well. This gives players three months to enjoy the remixed content and chase its huge collection of rewards. WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria Timerunning Overview These dates also tell us that Patch 10.2.7 is set to release one week prior, on or around May 7th, although the other retail content coming with the patch has yet to be revealed.

While most of the weapons from War Within are themed around the zones and cultures of Khaz Algar, weapon models to match both Night Elf Heritage Armor tints have also been added. As the Night Elf story continues its extended epilogue of renewal, we've seen many Kaldorei rewards in Dragonflight's final patches, from Darnassian Transmog to weapon transmogs around Bel'ameth. Although the Night Elf Heritage Armor questline awarded some traditional glaive appearances, those can only be transmogged by classes that can use one-handed swords and did not match the Heritage Armor set.

We're previewing all of the raid weapon models coming with the Nerub'ar Palace raid in The War Within. The weapon designs are inspired by the Nerubians ruled over by Queen Ansurek, who has allied with Xal'atath in return for dark power.
