FromSoftware’s upward trajectory with first the Souls series and now Elden Ring has publisher Bandai Namco feeling bullish about its return to Armored Core, a mech series that began in 1997 but had been dormant since 2013’s Armored Core: Verdict Day. It may be on to something, because our own Wes Fenlon described Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon as “Top Gun: Maverick for anime nerds like me who grew up enraptured by Mobile Suit Gundam instead of F-14s” on the way to awarding a shining 87 score. I mean, that sounds pretty great.

Bandai Namco Europe CEO Arnaud Muller has been doing the rounds at Gamescom, and told GamesIndustry.biz he thinks the shift in audience expectations for the publisher and “a new dimension” for the game itself will see Armored Core break throug…

The next big update to Baldur’s Gate 3, officially known as Patch 7, is coming in September, and ahead of that Larian has dropped an in-depth update on what the patch will include. The studio is also now taking applications for a closed beta test for the patch, which is set to go live—the beta test, that is, not the patch—on July 22.

Some of what’s coming in the patch is already known: Better endings for evil playthroughs (careful not to step in any) and, more importantly, full-fledged mod support. Today’s update goes deeper on the whole thing, and of course there are spoilers. One coming change that is not a spoiler is the addition of a “dynamic split screen” mode that will give co-op players the ability to merge their screens into one when their characters are close …

The next big survival game may well be the procgen fantasy MMO Lost Isle, and looking at this thing just makes me want to plunder a lot of fortresses. I mean, of course you can build your own too, but something about this is just screaming “lots of lovely loot to steal”, and I’m not going to argue with my inner monologue.

The secret sauce here is Lost Isle being both PvE and PvP and set in a world that’s different every time. The generated landscapes come crammed with lost secrets, looming monuments, and plenty of treasure-stuffed caves. The environment is warped by the dark magic at the heart of the game’s mysteries, which also powers an array of weird and wonderful creatures out to keep you away from the loot… well, really they don’t care much about that, and just want to kill…

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is coming—and it’s a big’un. Massive, expansion-level DLCs feel increasingly rarer in a climate flooded with live service microtransactions and seasonal passes. Personally, I’m just excited to get my grubby little mitts on another slice of FromSoftware’s pedigree.

It’s also potentially a function of how FromSoftware does business, focusing on their popular niche rather than bending the knee to wider trends—which also extends to the recent mass layoffs, which are currently in vogue in the name of “agile and more focused” studios, whatever that means. 

In a recent interview with IGN (thanks, GamesRadar), Elden Ring’s director Hidetaka Miyazaki touched on how dire things have been for game developers in 2023—a trend that …

They’ve been a long time coming. But the hot new generation of 4K gaming OLEDs have finally arrived. And the new MSI MAG 321UPX is easily the cheapest of the bunch. 

At $899 from Newegg, it’s miles cheaper than the $1,299 Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM that we reviewed recently and that uses exactly the same 32-inch Samsung QD-OLED panel and has virtually identical specs across the board.

So, what exactly are those specs? We’re talking 32 inches of Samsung QD-OLED glory, 3,840 by 2,160 pixels, 240Hz refresh and 0.03ms response. Yum.

The result, on that Asus at least, is a gaming monitor that takes a decisive step towards perfection. You’ve now got the killer combination of super-tight 4K pixel density with that signature OLED per-pixel lighting and stellar contrast.…

Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson announced today that the company is “advancing the way we work and continuing to evolve our business,” and by that he means it will be laying off approximately 5% of its workforce.

Wilson’s message begins with a triumphant note about how EA is “entertaining, inspiring, and connecting more people with more content and deeper experiences than ever before.” He goes on to say that previous restructuring efforts at EA, specifically leadership changes announced in 2023, “have positioned us to build bigger, bolder experiences for hundreds of millions of players and fans around the world.”

Then he really kicks it into gear: “As a company full of creators and storytellers, we believe in the value of teams innovating together, and continue to learn an…
