Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2’s Reclamation update finally gives Chaos the respect it deserves

Saber Interactive has announced an extensive roadmap for Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2, including the introduction of Iron Hands cosmetics and Chaos skins for PvP. Players can now customize Chaos Marines similarly to Space Marines in PvE modes, although Chaos Space Marines remain unavailable for PvE due to lore consistency.

A new enemy, the Tyranid Prime, will challenge players in the Reclamation Operation, featuring flight capabilities that complicate encounters.

Borderlands 4’s new, free DLC hasn’t moved the needle at all, and I think I know why

Gearbox released a free DLC for Borderlands 4 titled 'How Rush Saved Mercenary Day,' which includes a new boss fight, legendary loot, cosmetics, and story missions. The game's peak concurrent users on Steam this week was 15,887, unchanged from the previous week and down from earlier this month. Despite improvements over its predecessor, player engagement has declined, with many players feeling a lack of motivation to return. The DLC is perceived as a lighter addition, and Gearbox's promotion of it has been insufficient. Players who purchased the deluxe edition will receive an additional bounty pack. Performance issues on lower-end PCs further deter players. Upcoming content, including a full Story Pack DLC featuring Mad Ellie and a new Vault Hunter, C4SH, is anticipated to boost interest.

Revived Hytale Will Be Priced As ‘Aggressively Low As Possible’

Hypixel Studios will announce the early access release date for Hytale next week. The standard edition will be priced at .99, with two special editions available for .99 and .99, featuring unique cosmetics. Founder Simon Collins-Laflamme emphasized the game's pricing is "as aggressively low as possible" to ensure accessibility, especially given current economic challenges. He noted the game is still unfinished and operates on an old build. Hypixel recently acquired the rights to Hytale after Riot Games canceled it in June. The studio is working on a revised version and aims to release it soon, despite its current "messy" state. A 16-minute gameplay trailer has been released, showcasing enhanced combat features.

As Krafton evolves into an ‘AI-first company’, the boss of the recently acquired Last Epoch studio says he doesn’t think the ‘doom and gloom’ is warranted

Krafton has announced its intention to become an "AI-first company" with an investment of over 130 billion won. The company has implemented a hiring freeze and a voluntary resignation program for its South Korean workforce. Krafton acquired Eleventh Hour Games (EHG), the studio behind Last Epoch, in July. EHG has maintained a commitment to providing players with free content since its Kickstarter launch in 2018, but recent communications suggest that the pricing for upcoming expansions is uncertain. EHG co-founder Cobler outlined limited options during the acquisition process, including pursuing other intellectual properties, seeking unfavorable funding, joining Krafton, or facing bankruptcy. Cobler expressed optimism about the acquisition's long-term benefits, despite skepticism from others. There is currently no evidence that Last Epoch is declining, but Krafton's strategic decisions may impact the studio. EHG recently launched its third season and plans additional content leading up to an expansion.

World of Warcraft’s most expensive mount ever may be making a comeback, and I can already smell the backlash

The Mighty Caravan Brutosaur was introduced in the Battle for Azeroth expansion of World of Warcraft with a price of 5,000,000 gold. It was removed from the game with the Shadowlands expansion but briefly returned during the 20th anniversary event in 2024. Dataminers have found hints suggesting the Brutosaur may return, potentially as a new variant called the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur, which is priced at approximately £60, making it the most expensive mount in the game. The community has mixed reactions to this new version, viewing it as either an aesthetic upgrade or a cash grab. The return of the Brutosaur raises concerns about monetization versus gameplay value, especially for players who invested time in acquiring the original mount.

Riot admits its League of Legends TCG Riftbound might have short-changed you on rare cards

He reassured players that overall rarity distribution at the booster box level is functioning as intended and promised to address the concerns. Players experiencing issues are encouraged to report them with specific details.
