It’s been a few years since Funcom released Conan Exiles but that doesn’t mean Crom has forgotten about it. The Age of War – Chapter 2 update brings a bounty of changes and updates to the open world title. Many of these changes are centered around a player’s horde of loot and protecting said load from the invading Stygian Empire in a revamped purge system. We can’t expect Crom’s generosity to bestow improvements to the loot without introducing some new threats to maintaining one’s wealth now can we.

Microsoft is planning a mid-gen refresh for its Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, eyeing a release in 2024. A series of leaked court documents from the Microsoft vs. US FTC trial revealed a roadmap and concept images for its upcoming set of gaming systems, which also includes a new controller with gyro and haptic feedback. Codenamed ‘Brooklin,' the all-digital Xbox Series X boasts the same horsepower as the existing version, albeit lacking a disc drive. The console is cylindrically shaped and comes with a generous 2TB storage — up from 1TB — which I'm guessing is an SSD. It'll bear the same price tag of $499/ Rs. 54,990 and is slated to drop in late October, next year.

There's a world somewhere on an alternate timeline where is simply the latest part of one of the biggest monster collector/battlers in its genre. The earliest iteration of the franchise was full of charm and surprisingly exciting gameplay systems that arguably rivaled at the time; unfortunately, a much less smooth timeline featuring scattered releases quickly made the spin-off series feel like it would be relegated to a bunch of «what-if» and «forgotten gems» lists.

Microsoft’s lineup of first party studios is an impressive one, to say the very least, not only because of how large it is, but also given the pedigree of so many developers that fall under the first party Xbox Game Studios wing. At the same time, however, Microsoft is also working on upcoming exclusives with external, third party partners that will be published under the Xbox Game Studios banner.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game where death comes easily, and developer Larian Studios is more than content to let important characters fall foul of all manner of nasty ends – sometimes even before you’ve met them. It’s handy, then, that the Baldur’s Gate 3 Speak with Dead spell is very easy to access on any playthrough, but it can be a bit of a pain to work out which of the many corpses in the massive RPG game are actually worth chatting to. Fortunately, things just got simpler with one of the best Baldur’s Gate 3 mods.

Baldur's Gate 3 is somehow still turning up juicy little surprises. Granted, I only used Speak with Dead when I had to claw info from the grave for an investigation—I rarely did it just for flavour kicks. This use of the spell in Act 3 has some wild implications only obvious to those with tabletop brainworms (like yours truly), and I'm here to pass on that existential dread to you.
