Elden Ring players are hard at work putting the new Tarnished Edition DLC’s new gear to the test

The Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring has introduced new armor sets, weapons, and starting classes, prompting players to experiment with the game's mechanics. Notable player SaxSlaveGael demonstrated the effectiveness of a new sword's Muleta skill against the boss Gaius, while Ilamahradeys showcased the sword's power by nearly depleting the health of the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast with a single jab. Players are also focusing on aesthetics, with the "fashion souls" concept thriving, as seen with admiration for a new chestpiece from the Idus starting class. Additionally, the heavy armor class introduced in the DLC has gained attention for its enhanced vigor and strength stats, beneficial for melee characters. The excitement for the Tarnished Edition reflects players' eagerness to explore the new content.

Come September, you won’t need a single Total War: Warhammer game to play its colossal, trilogy-spanning Immortal Empires campaign

The upcoming Lords of the End Times expansion for Total War: Warhammer was announced, featuring characters like Nagash, Boris Todbringer, the Glottkin, and Grey Seer Thanquol. The expansion will launch on September 24, and players will not need previous Total War: Warhammer titles to access the Immortal Empires campaign. The Immortal Empires content includes 14 factions, 24 legendary lords, numerous Free-LC lords and heroes, and entire free factions like Bretonnia. Total War: Warhammer 3 is available for purchase during a 10th anniversary sale, but investing in the new lords may be more advantageous. The Great Vortex campaign from Total War: Warhammer 2 is integrated into Immortal Empires, making revisiting individual games less appealing for dedicated players.

Rockstar Games is launching Grand Theft Auto 6 without a simultaneous PC port, which has disappointed some PC players. Former Rockstar producer John Ricchio explained that the decision is based on resource allocation and the need for a compelling business case for PC ports. He noted that past hardware limitations favored console development, but the performance gap between consoles and PCs has narrowed recently. Despite the delayed PC version, 39% of players are willing to wait for it. The game, titled Phantom Vice Auto, is set to launch on November 19.
