2026/02/12

Fallout 76 has certainly gotten lots of new things added to it such as additional maps and features, but one thing that has been missing by Bethesda Softworks’ own admission is a focus on making pre-existing events in the game remain worthwhile. That’s an observation from production director Bill LaCoste, and it’s one that he’s keen […]

Were you one of those Albion Online players who maybe didn’t bother with the bandit assault event? Well you might want to rethink that strategy because the upcoming Realm Divided Phase II patch is going to make some tweaks to the event that will more closely link it to the sandbox’s factional warfare mechanics.

How are Hytale’s NPCs like a PlayStation wrestling game from the year 2000? The answer is that both are all about knowing your role.

2026/02/12

If you ask most veteran Final Fantasy XI players to name the best expansion in the game’s lifespan, I would bet good money that most of them would cite Treasures of Aht Urhgan as the best one. And I should remember it pretty well because I was there on launch day. I stopped by GameStop to pick […]

2026/02/12

Right now as I count it, there are six versions of WoW Classic running — and that’s not including retail and whatever else Blizzard may be planning to reveal at BlizzCon this September. Six!

Just two weeks ago, the internet collectively cringed to hear Highguard’s Wildlight Entertainment CEO Dusty Welch commit to print words that seemed like a dare for the universe’s mean streak. “What we’re confident in is that we’re not going anywhere,” he said. “We’re not going away.” As it happens, kind of a lot of the […]
