Helldivers 2 players are celebrating a dramatic 11th-hour victory that saw hundreds of thousands of the digital soldiers unite to defend 10 worlds from the undemocratic grip of advancing bug-like Terminids, and soulless Automatons.

Stellar Blade is out today on PS5 after receiving a stylish launch trailer to commemorate its release. However, Shift Up has a brief new trailer, this time showcasing the unique ranged attacks that Eve can unleash. Check it out below.

Stellar Blade is out, and it has been met by a largely positive reception — but many are wondering who plays Eve, as much of the discourse has centred on her.

In recent years, it’s become common for AAA games to hold back their New Game+ modes, often rolling them out as part of a “big update” weeks or months after launch. Well, apparently, that won’t be the case with the upcoming PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade, which will have New Game+ available from launch, and it sounds pretty meaty. In addition to tackling the game at a higher difficulty, players can look forward to learning new skills and earning a bunch of NG+ exclusive outfits for Eve (a hefty 34 all!) We have more details about NG+ below, but first, check out Stellar Blade’s stylish launch trailer.

Prior to release, all indications were that Stellar Blade would be an unusually technically polished current-gen launch, with the game’s demo leaving many impressed. But, of course, demos aren’t always indicative of the final game, with devs sometimes taking a thin slice of gameplay and give it more polish than the rest of the game. Well, the review embargo for Stellar Blade has arrived, and it seems it’s not only a good time in terms of action (check out Wccftech’s positive review here) but according to the tech heads at Digital Foundry, the full game is every bit as technically sound as the demo. You can check out Digital Foundry’s full video analysis below, provided you have around 20 minutes to spare, or you can scroll down for our rundown of the salient points.

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.

The War Within Alpha adds some elaborate cosmetic models, including Kobold Candle and Fungi helms. Notably there are 3-piece sets (shoulders, tabard, cloak) themed around some major factions in the expansion--check out those Kobold shoulders! Many of the cosmetic helms were also confirmed to be from delves at BlizzCon.

As players quest through Khaz Algar in the War Within, they'll acquire simple gear from leveling themed after the homelands of the Earthen. Here's a look at all of the new weapons and armor from War Within questing. Note that we expect more color variants to be added later in development and we'll update our coverage accordingly!
