Space Marine 2’s latest updates add Terminator Sorcerers and Steam Workshop support, so you can now play co-op with 9 other players if you want

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has received two significant updates in its second year of post-release support.

Additionally, Steam Workshop support has been implemented, allowing for user-generated content, including the Astartes Overhaul mod, which rebalances gameplay and adds new classes and weapons. Saber Interactive plans to support the game for at least another year, with a roadmap for future content expected to be revealed during the second anniversary celebration.

Bethesda has announced the release of Oblivion Remastered for the Nintendo Switch 2, set to debut in August. Wes Johnson, a voice actor from the Elder Scrolls series, will reprise his role as Sheogorath in the promotional material. The promotional video has received positive feedback, particularly for Johnson's return, but there are concerns about technical issues with the PC version, including performance problems and bugs that have persisted since the original release in 2006. Recent Steam reviews for the PC version have dropped to a Mixed rating, despite an overall Mostly Positive status. There is hope that the Switch 2 launch may lead to renewed attention to the concerns of PC players.

Microsoft thinks its latest Windows 11 tweak is an “improvement.” Do you agree, or are you sick of tiny changes?

My mother had a strong aversion to Windows 8 but eventually upgraded to Windows 10 and later embraced Windows 11. Windows 11 will soon update its File Explorer to display file sizes in KB, MB, and GB instead of just KB. This change is expected to be welcomed by many users, although some may find the adjustment challenging. There is a discussion about user preferences regarding changes in familiar features and the potential for Microsoft to retain legacy options alongside new enhancements.

Former Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida is ‘a huge fan’ of Bloodborne, says it’s ‘a complete mystery’ why it was never put on PC

Shuhei Yoshida, former president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios, expressed his appreciation for the game Bloodborne during a keynote address at Japan's CEDEC Industry event. He noted that neither Sony nor FromSoftware has revisited Bloodborne since its expansion, The Old Hunters, was released in November 2015. Yoshida highlighted the lack of a 60fps or 4K patch for Bloodborne on PS4 Pro, PS5, or the upcoming PS5 Pro, which has puzzled fans. He suggested that the current Sony may struggle to deliver a version of Bloodborne that exceeds the quality of existing PS4 emulation, which has yielded impressive results for those using robust gaming rigs.

Blizzard is keeping secrets about Diablo 4’s next season until BlizzCon, but you can still try some of it out next week

Blizzard will reveal detailed patch notes for Diablo 4's upcoming season 15 at BlizzCon in September, marking a departure from their usual practice of providing advance details. The season will introduce new seasonal items, returning favorites, and adjustments to the Mythic Unique item system. New features include "Challenge Dungeons," which are boss encounters with customizable difficulty in the open world, and "Overland Ambushes," where players must react quickly to being hunted by a demon. Players can expect new items called "Soul Splinters" that enhance jewelry with damage buffs, and revamped Unique items from previous games, such as Leoric's Crown. The season will also see the return of the "Rebirth" system from Diablo 3 and changes to the Mythic Uniques, including the introduction of weaker, Unique versions of Iconic Mythics. A public test realm (PTR) for these features will be available from August 4 to August 11.
