Chaos Cubed drop is now available for Minecraft on Nintendo Switch

The Chaos Cubed game update has launched on the Nintendo Switch, introducing new features such as the sulfur cube, sulfur caves, and various blocks. The sulfur cube is a passive mob found in sulfur caves that can absorb blocks to gain unique effects. Players can leash or scoop them up, or use bouncy wool blocks to launch them. Sulfur caves are home to hostile creatures and contain sulfur and cinnabar blocks, as well as sulfur spikes that are safe for players. On the Overworld surface, sulfur springs and geysers indicate the presence of sulfur caves, with springs emitting toxic gases that cause nausea. Potent sulfur generates bubbles and gas puffs when placed under water and can create geysers when combined with magma blocks. The update also includes a new music disc called Bounce, which can be found in chests within mineshafts that connect to the sulfur caves.

Stellaris’ Nomads expansion finally lets me live out my Battlestar Galactica fantasies, though its Wayline system could definitely use some work

Players in Stellaris experience an enchanting initial phase of exploration, discovering alien species, mega structures, and black holes. They must balance exploration with territory claiming, as resource management is crucial. Resources can be transported back to the Arkship or harvested directly from planets, though the latter incurs penalties. Nomadic players need to forge alliances and establish Wayline treaties to survive and thrive, while new resources like Operational Reserves add complexity. Upgrading the Arkship is rewarding, and the game features a vibrant post-Nomads era with new music and events enhancing gameplay.

Extraction shooter peak is finally returning and all you Arc Raiders players should definitely take note

DMZ is a mode in Call of Duty's Warzone that offers a player-versus-environment (PvE) experience, contrasting with the typical player-versus-player (PvP) focus of extraction shooters. The map Al Mazrah features locked buildings, loot rooms, and dynamic events, promoting exploration. DMZ 2.0 is set to launch alongside Modern Warfare 4, promising enhancements based on player feedback, including a revamped stealth system, dynamic weather effects, vehicle integration, and improved matchmaking for shared objectives. Story missions will become more engaging, and a new "star system" will increase difficulty by attracting tougher enemies as players engage in combat. The developers aim to maintain the core elements of the original DMZ while expanding its features, appealing to both PvE and PvP players. DMZ 2.0 is scheduled for release in October.
