Manor Lords launched into early access today, and peaked at just a hair shy of 160,000 concurrent players on Steam, good for a top 5 place on the charts, even displacing the suddenly-hot Fallout 4 at times. It’s also the top-seller on Steam right now. And these stats don’t capture the whole picture, as Manor Lords isn’t a Steam exclusive – it’s also available via Game Pass on PC and Xbox Series X/S.

Another fun collection update coming in Dragonflight Patch 10.2.7 is the ability for players to customize their own Personal Tabard, following a short questline in Valdrakken! Just like the Guild Tabard, players will be able to customize their personal tabard with its own icon, colors, boarder, and background, sharing all the same options between them, but this also means that players should no longer feel the need to create their own one-person guild just to show off their favorite design! As noted by MrGM, the tabard is unlocked account-wide, though the designs are character specific, allowing each character to customize the tabard as they see fit, using helpful Tabard Designer NPCs located in major faction cities or a new designer in Valdrakken.

A hidden detail makes one of the game's more disturbing braindances even more eerie. Throughout CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG, players are able to relive moments from other Night City residents' perspectives through a virtual reality-type recording called braindances, which lets V feel their emotional states and anything they physically felt, as well as watching events unfold. In the universe, this is used as a major form of entertainment covering adult content, adrenaline chasers, and more, but V often uses them as ways to help with investigations, rewinding the footage and inspecting it on different levels to find clues.

The War Within adds cosmetic armor styled after the garb Earthen civilians wear in Dornogal, the main city in Khaz Algar. While we don't know how to obtain this armor yet, we're reminded of the Valdrakken Civilian Sets from Dragonflight which were obtained through the Valdrakken Accord Faction. These Earthen sets have elaborate 3D components and as such, only load properly on Dwarven models--so these might be a limited race-specific reward, if they're ever made available to players. These models may also not be available at launch--if ever--as all the individual items like Earthen Mining Hat have the note «This appearance cannot be collected.» But they have many interesting details so we hope they are eventually! You can check out the Earthen Civilian armor sets below, or click on the links to style them in our TWW Dressing Room.

In this post, we're taking a look at «Dalaran Defender» weapon models added in the War Within alpha. Early signs point to Dalaran playing a role in the build up to the expansion, and vendors from the pre-patch event will sell these weapons. The Dalaran weapons reflect the style of the city, with the trademark pink Kirin Tor logo and golden details. We've also found Dalaran Defender armor, but these appearances could be placeholder as they match the Ensemble: Void-Bound Battlegear sets coming from the Trading Post and doesn't thematically fit the colors of the city. On the other hand, these items could be a tribute to Xal'atath and the shadowy threats of the War Within.

Correctly, Blizzard loves to start new World of Warcraft expansions with a Big Explosion of some sort. In Legion, Khadgar teleports an entire city to float above an island chain. In Battle for Azeroth, there's a tense ship battle influenced by a demigod. In Shadowlands, basically everyone dies. Seriously. Now, with The War Within on the horizon, Blizzard has conceived of another way to kick off an expansion with some proper fireworks, by completely demolishing a beloved in-game location.

Back in 2022, I previewed World of Warcraft's last expansion, Dragonflight, in a press pre-alpha situation. Though I'm always hesitant to glowingly recommend an entire MMORPG expansion based on brief early alpha storyline play and not the sum of its content, Dragonflight felt exceptional out of the gate, and was, largely thanks to the transformative new dragonriding mechanic and other major changes that shook off the dust from the widely panned Shadowlands expansion. Blizzard designed the Dragon Isles with bombast in mind, and my very early experiences zipping around them adequately conveyed the sense of increased scale and majesty that would carry throughout the entire expansion.

11 Bit Studios has become reliable since initially jumping onto the scene with Anomaly: Warzone Earth.

Bethesda titles are massive, with tons of loot to acquire. From the fantasy series of Elder Scrolls VI, to the sci-fi world of the future in Starfield, the one thing they share is a wide range of weapons. In the wastelands of Fallout 4, and thenew Fallout TV show, the weapons (and their cool names) are a major perk. Some weapons might give you an edge, but others feel as if they’re just for show.

A mod lets players fully immerse themselves in the streets of Night City.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is not getting a proper remake anytime soon, leaving it to fans of the long-running series to reimagine locations from the iconic game using modern technology.

Typically, playing city-based or civilization-building games is a relaxing experience for me. There’s an inherent satisfaction in something I created in Cities: Skylines 2 or Mini Motorways running efficiently based on my actions. I’m content with spending dozens of hours crafting a functioning world, and only occasionally having my skills tested in a high-intensity situation. Frostpunk 2 from 11 bit Studios is a city-builder where those feelings are often reversed. Most of my time playing its beta was extremely stressful, as I constantly had to make difficult decisions in order to preserve a society that established itself in a frosty postapocalypse.

Much hubbub surrounds the Fallout TV show and its handling of the Fallout lore, but a New Vegas tease has fans curious and concerned to see what fate ultimately awaited New Vegas.

Many of these songs show up in the Amazon Prime Fallout series — but which radio station is the best listen?
