It’s fairly well understood that Diablo 4’s first evolution post-launch came with Season 4: Loot Reborn, which revamped much of the game’s loot and itemisation loops. The next evolution will arrive with the Vessel of Hatred expansion, and its aptly named patch 2.0.Blizzard hasn’t quite explained what patch 2.0 will do to the game, but the developer recently confirmed what players have long be guessing: a major change to the levelling curve is coming, which may even take the form of a level cap squish.The good news?

Read moreEverybody Still Hates Chris, the animated continuation of 2000s sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, finally has a release date.You can only wonder how long people could hate Chris Rock for, but as it turns out, it’s quite a while, as people are continuing to hate him in the upcoming Comedy Central show. Earlier this week, a premiere date was finally set for the show, as well as a first look at the show, which you can see in the image at the top of the page. The animated series is currently set to air next month, September 25 at 10pm ET, though I have to say, they’re cutting it a bit close in terms of actually advertising the show – there hasn’t been a single trailer for it yet, and with a month left to go, that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.To see this content please enable targeting cookie…

The main one still bothering folk is how companions react to certain Dark Urge scenes, with some BG3ers now urging Larian to revamp this before it moves on from the game.If you somehow missed Baldur’s Gate 3’s latest update arriving last week, you can check out what it includes here.

Read moreTekken has had a few licensed characters over the years, but apparently series director Katsuhiro Harada once asked if Colonel Sanders could be in it.Noctis, Geese Howard, Akuma – these are all guest characters that have appeared in Tekken, all of which generally make some amount of sense (they do all share the fact that they’re all video game characters, at the very least). Sure, The Walking Dead’s Negan Smith is a bit of an odd one, but hey, the vibes are more or less right. You know who would be incredibly out of place though?

Read moreIt’s been a long while since the modding team behind Fallout: Nuevo México had anything to show off, but the New Vegas mod finally has an official reveal trailer.Fallout 4 is nine years old next month, and even though Bethesda did put out Fallout 76 in the years since then, there hasn’t been a single-player sequel, and there won’t be one until after Elder Scrolls 6, which is still a while away itself (even if Bethesda doesn’t want to wait that long either). Thankfully, though, modders have come together to create entire expansion-sized mods like Fallout: London to help fill the gap, and despite being put on hold earlier this year, and later being taken off hold, the team behind Fallout: Nuevo México has released the mod’s first official trailer, and it’s quite the impressive …

The Little Witcher (I see what you’re doing there, cute) is a new book coming from a collaboration between CD Projekt Red and Penguin Random House, illustrated by Giada Carboni. I have to say, I’ve never seen quite so cute a version of Geralt of Rivia in my life, and it’s not something I ever thought I needed, but I’m also not unhappy to have it either.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings …
