Season of the Worthy marks Destiny 2’s 10th season and as a result of the community banding together to collect Polarized Fractaline, Trials of Osiris is returning at last. We’ve spent the last season helping Osiris restore the timeline and bringing Saint-14 back to life, and a recent trailer suggests that we’ll be seeing more of the Warmind, Rasputin, in Season of the Worthy. There’s a fan theory that suggests we’re re-experiencing the first two Destiny 2 DLCs on an alternative timeline....

Releasing on June 6, 2023, the game will feature cross-platform play and progression on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, plus couch co-op on consoles at launch.

Following in the footsteps of Windjammers, the cult classic Data East game for the Neo Geo, Windjammers 2 showcases a unique take on disc-based video game sports, complete with a cast of ten varied characters to play as, ten different courts to battle it out on, and a bevy of new mechanics accompanying an already fully featured game system. The release date trailer leans hard into the comic book stylings and showcases the high-speed discus action that the original was known for while showing off the different modes like Arcade Mode, Disc Attack, and Hot Dog Distance....

YouTuber DIY Perks has heard people calling out for a smaller PlayStation 5 console, and has taken the challenge of reducing the size of the newest PlayStation machine to a much smaller footprint - though it comes with some caveats. After having built the “world’s first PlayStation 5 Slim” – in a machine only 2cm tall! – DIY Perks posted a video showing off the process behind shrinking the behemoth console into something a little more… compact....

The drop rate and damage on Destiny 2’s latest raid exotic, Eyes of Tomorrow, has been confirmed as incorrect and Destiny 2 developer Bungie has promised a fix will arrive for the weapon in an update on March 23. In the studio’s latest blog post, the developer explains that, essentially, the counter that’s designed to give you the weapon after you’ve cleared the Raid enough times hasn’t been working correctly....

With the success of Dying Light and the great opening for Dying Light 2, Techland felt now was the time to announce it has a new title in development, and that it is hiring folks to help fill various positions within the team. “We’re very happy with what we have accomplished with the Dying Light franchise so far," said Pawel Marchewka, CEO at Techland....

Starting next week on August 18, the services will be rebranded as EA Play, and Origin Access Premier will be renamed EA Play Pro. Benefits will remain the same, but EA says it will be “adding even more in the coming months” such as exclusive in-game challenges and monthly reward drops on select titles.

Elden Ring is pitched as a game that builds on the studio’s legacy of creating intriguing worlds, exciting and challenging combat, and a style of storytelling that demands you pay attention to every little detail you come across. It’s one that brings back and refines much of what players of Soulsborne games are familiar with, only housed in an open world. A first for the storied studio; Elden Ring’s open world is large and comes with few restrictions on where to go and what to do....

Before you go around grinding trash mobs for Runes to over-level your character and power through fights, you might actually want to direct these efforts elsewhere. That’s because Elden Ring doesn’t really care what your character’s level is, though farming Runes can certainly be helpful. It mostly looks at how powerful your weapon is. Different weapons will scale differently with your various stats, but the main contributor to your overall DPS is the level of your weapon - in other words, how many times said weapon has been upgraded up to that point....

Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory is a sci-fi CRPG co-developed by Black Shamrock and Cyanide Studio, based on the Paranoia tabletop RPG.

It is an Epic Games Store exclusive, which makes this whole situation even more unusual....

Aimed at the more premium end of the market with an RRP of £179 or $199, the B20 boasts “studio broadcast quality” inside of an aluminium frame. To try and achieve this claim, the B20 features three internal microphone capsules capable of picking up frequencies between 50Hz and 20KHz as to preserve both the high and low end of the sounds you’re recording.
