Looking for a quick way to level up your Helldivers 2 character and farm some Medals for your Warbond? Though we’ve vanquished the bugs and the construction of a containment area is underway, there’s now a new problem for Super Earth—murderous armies of Automatons are invading the fringe colonies, looking to kill all humans. Just another day for a Helldiver.…
Read moreToday I learned that I’d probably be a terrible wizard in the Harry Potter world. As appealing as flying brooms and getting wasted on butterbeer sounds, I’d unfortunately fail step one: say the spell correctly. I’ve been trying out a new Hogwarts Legacy mod that lets you cast spells with your voice, and it’s a real stickler for pronunciation.

Read moreThe best part of Starfield is undeniably your spaceship, which can be customized or built from scratch to look like anything from a cute little ladybug to a massive Star Destroyer.
So it’s kind of a shame you don’t have more control over your ship in Starfield. You can fight battles while hovering in orbit, but once you’re inside a planet’s atmosphere, all you can real…
Read moreSilent Hill- Ascension’s proposed voting system makes it feel like a bizarre mass social experiment-
IGN shared an inside look at Silent Hill: Ascension, an experimental series that was announced last year. We’ve known you’ll be able to choose the fates of its unlucky protagonists for a while.

Read moreIt’s only on screen for a couple seconds, and only partially, but there’s no mistaking it: The Quake logo is drawn on a whiteboard that appears in the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reveal video from this week’s Xbox Developer Direct. Above it is a cut-off word: “-AKE 6.”

Read moreSomewhere in a filing cabinet is a contract. On that contract is my name and the name of my employer—PC Gamer’s publisher Future PLC—and a job title: “news writer”. And look, if someone assassinates the JFK of videogames* I’ll be there to break it down for you, but personally? I think my true job is telling you about tiny, mini, minute, trifling little mods that I find very…

In a move that seems to codify a sort of “Bastards” franchise, Blue Manchu is following up its 2019 roguelike FPS Void Bastards with Wild Bastards, a more open-ended, space western take on the concept. First announced at our PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted showcase, Wild Bastards is set to release some time next year.
“Roguelike FPS” gets part of the story with Void Bastards, but it’s really…
