Today, NVIDIA announced that ZeniMax Online's MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online (which celebrates its 10th anniversary today and will soon release the new Gold Road Chapter) is now available to play via the GeForce NOW cloud platform, though only for Steam and Epic Games Store users. We've inquired as to whether there are plans to support the ESO Launcher, the most popular way to play Elder Scrolls Online. Anyway, Priority and Ultimate users can also take advantage of the game's built-in NVIDIA DLSS and DLAA features (the game was the first to add DLAA two and a half years ago).
Sand Land Demo Now Available on PC and Consoles
19.03.2024 - 08:59 / wccftech.com / Alessio Palumbo
Today, Bandai Namco has released a demo for the upcoming open world action RPG Sand Land. Developed by ILCA, the same studio that made One Piece Odyssey, Sand Land is based on a manga series created in 2000 by Akira Toriyama. Given the recent passing of the legendary artist, the game slated to launch in five weeks will be all the more special.
The demo includes only a limited part of the explorable world. There's no story, either, but you can check out playable characters like Beelzebub, Rao, and Thief, as well as vehicles like Battle Tank, Battle Armor, and Motorbike.

The save data of the demo won't carry over to the full game. However, completing the demo ahead of the game's launch will reward players with the following items to enhance vehicles in Spino:
- 30 B-Grade Steel
- 30 B-Grade Bolt
The demo can be downloaded now on PC via Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The full game will be available on April 26.
For an overview of Sand Land's mechanics, here's an excerpt from the recent video released by Bandai Namco.
In combat, Beelzebub is a ferocious fighter who has access to light and heavy attacks that can be chained both on the ground as well as in the air. Don't forget to dodge in midair and sideways. As you progress in your journey, you will gain points that can be spent to unlock Beelzebub skills. You will be able to power up special skills, such as the ability to turn your body to metal.
Consumable items can increase your attack, defense, and help you recover power of darkness, so make sure to stock up. Also, water is an important resource that you can restock in water supply points and will be consumed to heal your health in case you are about to be defeated.
All vehicles in Sand Land have unique features. The jump bot will bounce over high cliffs, the hover car can float over water to cross dangerous rivers, and the battle armor can move heavy obstacles to open blocked paths. Remember: you can carry up to five capsules, each containing a vehicle at any given time so plan ahead according to the situation and play style.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Will Be Available on NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW
There's great news for gamers interested in playing Dragon's Dogma 2 without having a beefy PC: NVIDIA has just announced that CAPCOM's open world game will be available at launch via its GeForce NOW cloud platform. Despite the fact that the previous installment is supported on GeForce NOW, the same was far from a given for the sequel. While the Japanese publisher has agreed to add games like Exoprimal, Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7, and Devil May Cry 5 to GFN, Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 are still nowhere to be seen, and the same goes for Street Fighter 6.

NVIDIA Presents Covert Protocol Demo Powered by Inworld AI
During today's GTC 2024 keynote, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang showed a new AI NPC demo called Covert Protocol. Unlike the Kairos demo demonstrated at CES 2024, which was based on Convai technology, this one is powered by Inworld AI, the other major AI NPC platform geared towards game development. As you may recall, Inworld AI was first added by modder 'Bloc' in games like Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Grand Theft Auto V, though Rockstar quickly took that down to the dismay of the creator.

The prequel mod Dark Souls Archthrones can finally be tested by fans thanks to a newly released demo. The makers of the mod originally targeted September 2023 for the demo launch, but delays are part of game development and even more so when we're talking about non-professional projects like a mod.
