Palworld Becomes Even More Like Pokémon With New PvP Arena Mode

Microsoft has unveiled a slew of new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in the near future and subscribers can look forward to plenty of Day-One releases. One of the best parts about the console's subscription service is the ability to play new titles for no extra cost the moment they launch, meaning those who use the platform have access to a wealth of fresh titles that they don't need to pay an additional fee to access. Following the recent ID@Xbox showcase, the company confirmed that the next few months will be packed with some exciting Day-One drops.

may be a game solely committed to boots-on-the-ground combat, but one industrious fan has an incredible vision for how space combat and dogfighting could function. While Arrowhead Studios' third-person shooter is riddled with starships and cruisers, even giving players their own Super Destroyer to travel the pathways between planets, it's not actually possible to use these vessels to battle enemies. It may be too much to expect from the developers, given the scale of such an addition, but some kind of space battle mechanic would be amazing, especially if it takes its cues from this fan's video.

While the franchise may be a dormant entity, a group of extremely talented fans unveiled a trailer for a hypothetical third game in the franchise that looks incredible. Rare's iconic «collect-a-thon» platformer series starring the bear Banjo and his sidekick Kazooie is known as one of the best games available for the Nintendo 64 due to its creative world, robust suite of movement options, and boundless content. Given the fact that it's been nearly 20 years since the last mainline game, fans are still returning to the world with some imaginative, exquisitely designed concept trailers.

is already known for pushing out a substantial amount of updates since its launch in February 2024, but developer Arrowhead Studios clarified why it can't push out even more with an excellent explanation. Ever since Super Earth's war against the Terminids and Automatons exploded in popularity, the community has enjoyed a steady stream of patches that both add new content to the game and fix any bugs plaguing the experience. It'd be unreasonable to expect any more from Arrowhead but for those who do want extra updates, it'd be unfair to make such demands.

While may have come to an end, that doesn't mean its cast of characters can't go on any further adventures. Following the announcement that Larian Studios won't be developing any DLC for its critically-revered RPG, the community was understandably disappointed that they wouldn't be able to spend any more time with the likes of Astarion and Shadowheart. Fortunately, due to the game being an official part of the universe, there will seemingly be more opportunities for the characters to return either in a sequel or a different medium entirely.

players disappointed by the lack of options afforded by the game's outer space sections are in luck becausea new mod aims to provide the community with more activities to accomplish while cruising around the cosmos in their ship. While the sci-fi RPG does have a handful of combat encounters that prompt users to engage in zero-gravity dogfights, they're all rather simple and repetitious, never offering much in the way of variety or depth. The player base has long requested more options for these encounters and one talented creator has responded to those demands with an excellent add-on.

Neil Newbon, the beloved actor being Astarion in makes his return to the world of albeit in a very different role. While Newbon has had a prolific career behind the microphone, his most popular character is undoubtedly the vampire rogue in Larian Studios' RPG for which he even earned the coveted Best Performance award at The Game Awards 2023. While he may not be returning to play Astarion in the near future, he's still doing some rather exciting with Wizards of the Coast on its ever-popular fantasy game series.

is about to become even more difficult as the game's latest mission type forces players to go up against some of the Automaton's most powerful units. While the kinds of enemies players will encounter in are largely determined by the difficulty of the mission they embark upon, users who want to farm some of the rare resources will need to run through some of the more brutal settings to upgrade their ship modules. Unfortunately, that now means going head-to-head against Factory Striders with the primary goal being to bring down the walking tanks.

may offer players an assortment of abilities and tools to destroy their enemies but a Rogue skill is easily one of the best in the game and one dedicated fan just made it even stronger. Unlocked as early as Level 1, the Sneak Attack skill allows sneaker characters to deal an additional 1d6 damage to a foe they have Advantage against or when an ally is within 5ft of their target. It's remarkably simple to set up and while it's already an extremely potent way to dish out pain, a new mod has made it even better.

is already a massive game but fans who want to take the experience even further by expanding on the game's story and factions are in luck because a new mod is aiming to do just that. Over the course of The Courier's adventure across the Mojave Wasteland, they'll encounter all kinds of colorful NPCs, many of whom belong to some sketchy groups vying for control of the post-apocalyptic United States. One of the more barbaric is Ceaser's Legion, and while they may come across as pure villains in the base game, Nova Arizona wants to improve them.

players who want to make their battles a little more dramatic can now do so thanks to a mod that adds in a highly-customizable killcam that spotlights enemies with a cinematic flair. Bucking the trend set by previous Bethesda games like and, the sci-RPG frustrated many players by excluding any kind of killcam, a small but stylish feature that the community has come to expect from the developer's titles. A fun way of wrapping up a challenging combat encounter, the killcam is a popular mechanic amongst enthusiasts.

may undergo another massive change in its metagame as the arrival of several new ship upgrades could alter the way everyone plays. Yet another example of developer Arrowhead Studios quietly dropping in additional content without notifying the community, the latest batch of Super Destroyer improvements is likely to help Helldivers push back against the invading Automaton fleet that's looking for revenge. The massive rush of Bots in the North-West sector has players scrambling to form some kind of defense to prevent the unrelenting enemy from advancing any closer to Super Earth.
