Final Fantasy 16’s new trailer is “done,” and should release soon, according to the game’s producer. The news comes from Naoki Yoshida, appearing earlier today on May 6 in a joint presentation with NieR Reincarnation producer Yosuke Saito. When asked about the ongoing development of Final Fantasy 16, Yoshida revealed …

Before Elden Ring, I couldn’t have imagined comparing FromSoftware games to the Sniper Elite series. Storming a Nazi stronghold in the French countryside, murdering a captain and casing a farmhouse mansion for intel really is a million miles from wading knee-deep in Blighttown’s poisonous sludge. But, now well over 200 …

A new Elden Ring update has restored Malenia’s lifesteal ability to working as intended. Earlier today, Elden Ring update 1.04.1 was pushed live on all platforms. Chief among the changes was a note about the Malenia, Blade of Miquella boss encounter, namely that the new patch had fixed an issue …

Elden Ring contains some of the Souls series’ most obvious nods to the manga Berserk, and thanks to a new mod, Berserk protagonist Guts is now officially a part of the Lands Between.  Cota Studios (opens in new tab) demonstrated the custom equipment included in the Berserk mod in a …

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is the first Borderlands game to get a ‘teen’ instead of ‘mature’ rating by the ESRB, but ‘mushroom butts’ didn’t exactly help.  In an interview with Kotaku (opens in new tab), creative director of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Max Cox explained why and how the team at Gearbox …

Elden Ring’s tutorial is now much easier to find, thanks to an unmissable prompt. It’s no secret that Elden Ring isn’t the easiest of games. While this is mainly due to its brutal battles, its obscure nature also plays a part in upping the difficulty. Many of the game’s features …

Hidetaka Miyazaki has never seemed like one for sequels, which perhaps explains why his familiar gameplay template has appeared under so many different names. The Soulsborne lineage, or whatever clunky portmanteau has supplanted the label now that Elden Ring has released, has shuffled us not just between titles but styles, …

The Elden Ring speedrun world record is now 6:59 thanks to an unbelievable run from Distortion2, who broke his own record with the first sub-seven minute clear.  Just yesterday, Distortion2 (opens in new tab)announced bold plans to pursue a sub-seven run after cutting Elden Ring’s any% category – which simply …

A pre-release build of Elden Ring has a quest that lets you craft a “dreambrew” that makes NPCs chatty and sleepy; essentially, it gets them drunk. Prolific modder Lance McDonald recently released a video where they explore an earlier Elden Ring build that included content which was ultimately cut from …
