Brand new DLC

Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin's Creed Shadows just got its first major DLC expansion and it's called Claws of Awaji. Naoe and Yasuke are off to the mysterious island of Awaji in this new adventure, which gives you a fresh story, and unique mechanics within the familiarity of Shadows' existing gameplay framework.

The new release

Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 is finally here and we're all liking it a heck of a lot more than its predecessor. It's not perfect by any means, but this looter shooter and all its guns allow for pure, silly carnage in a way that's rarely matched.

A surprising expansion

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Another fantastic RPG with a new DLC, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Legacy of the Forge DLC adds a whole other genre to the game. You'll be able to run a business and finally build Henry a home of his own, but there's also a whole load more role-playing features to take advantage of too.

Baldur's Gate

After Baldur's Gate 3 player painstakingly calculates how much spoken dialogue Larian included in its D&D RPG, director admits they didn't actually know themselves: "Which I think was for the better"

Baldur's Gate 3 player does the math, finds Larian's RPG has 236 hours of recorded dialogue, and the character with the most lines is exactly who you'd expect

Baldur's Gate 3 Shadowheart actor says she would have "absolutely f***ing floundered" if she were cast in Larian's RPG at the start of her career: "It's so overwhelming"

Baldur's Gate 3 Astarion actor thinks putting "the player first over profit" is why the RPG is so successful, urges other devs to do the same: "You're probably gonna sell a s***-ton of copies"

Baldur's Gate 3 Karlach actor begs people to "please play the indies" as they gear up to star in 7 games coming at the start of 2026 thanks to GTA 6: "You're going to be sick of me"

Baldur's Gate 3 actor reveals Shadowheart's pal Nocturne was more of a "sexy demon" until she "found Nocturne on the spot" in a "girl next door" vibe

Baldur's Gate 3 performance director doubles down on the need for award shows to implement a motion capture category, because "mocap performers just disappear" and "nobody knows about them"

Baldur's Gate 3 players are breaking the RPG's D&D-fueled initiative order thanks to a German law that makes orphaned children "the strongest summons in the game"

As Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 star Charlie Cox insists "any nomination" should go to Gustave's mocap actor, Baldur's Gate 3 performance director says awards should include motion capture category

Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk 2077 is CD Projekt Red's "main source of revenue," outpacing The Witcher 3's 5-year sales with 35 million copies sold

Cyberpunk series creator Mike Pondsmith says he's watching Cyberpunk 2 closely at CDPR, just like he did with 2077: "People have been showing me what they're doing"

Keanu Reeves wants to find a way to play Cyberpunk 2077's Johnny Silverhand again, so series creator Mike Pondsmith quips "I have ways to do that, Keanu, contact me"

Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith got to play Cyberpunk 2077 before the RPG's infamous launch, only to see his V randomly T-pose pantsless: "We're fixing that, right?"

Cyberpunk 2 multiplayer seems all but confirmed as CD Projekt Red looks to hire an engineer to build "high-performance online experiences" and "optimize multiplayer systems"

CD Projekt Red dev once again retcons V's age in Cyberpunk 2077, assuring fans the protagonist "is 27 not 22 or whatever": "THE LOREMASTER HAS SPOKEN. Go update the wiki"

CDPR finally gives Cyberpunk 2077 players the option to remove its weirdest graphical feature years after modders already responded to fan requests

No one knows how Cyberpunk 2 is going to go after Cyberpunk 2077's ending, but Keanu Reeves wants to be part of it: "I'd love to play Johnny Silverhand again"

CD Projekt Red is teasing something Cyberpunk 2077-shaped with a mysterious new message, and fans are desperately trying to work out if it could be sequel news, DLC, or something else entirely

Dragon Age

Dragon Age's The Inquisitor actor knows the character is "probably not coming back," but sees a world where BioWare brings back all protagonists "Avengers Assemble-style"

"EA has a huge repository of dormant IPs that are just sitting there" after $55 billion buyout, says former Dragon Age and Anthem producer, so it could make better "financial sense" to sell studios instead of shutting them down

Former Dragon Age director says it's "hard to imagine" BioWare pivoting from "very progressive messaging to having the reverse" following EA's $55 billion buyout, and public perception not being "apocalyptically bad" if it did

EA goes $20 billion in debt as part of its $55 billion buyout, and the BioWare fans who've already waited 8 years for Mass Effect 5 are terrified of how the company might cut costs

Dragon Age: Origins was "intended as a standalone game" rather than the first in a series of RPGs, former dev says, meaning BioWare left "a lot of threads" it wasn't expecting to "come back to"

Enraged Dragon Age fans are punishing EA for rejecting BioWare's remaster pitch by covering pixel art map Wplace in adorable threats

BioWare considered paying a team to "do a remake" of Dragon Age: Origins, former executive producer reveals, and "there were lots of pitches" around upgrading the old RPG

BioWare apparently wanted to make a Mass Effect-style remaster collection for Dragon Age, but EA's not too keen: "It's strange for a publicly traded company to basically be against free money"

Even after EA let Dragon Age: The Veilguard out of multiplayer hell, BioWare reportedly still had to rush to target "as wide a market as possible," which feels like the opposite approach of great RPGs

Fallout

Bethesda boss Todd Howard sees your comments about Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters, says the studio is "working on all sorts of stuff": "In general, I prefer to wait"

Fallout star Ella Purnell plans to play GTA 6, but prefers "relaxing games" like this delightful PS4 oddity

Fallout and Elder Scrolls boss Todd Howard reads "a lot" of Reddit, says seeing fans' thoughts line up with what Bethesda is doing gives "confidence to lean in more on some of those things"

Fallout 4 is actually "quite a hopeful story," according to Todd Howard, who believes the whole series is lowkey optimistic: "Every character, what will they do to survive?"

Fallout boss Todd Howard reassures New Vegas fans that the Amazon TV show built an "incredible" set for season 2: "Their ability to pull it off on the scale, so much of it practical, it was incredible"

Fallout 5 could take a lesson from Starfield and its ship-building says former Fallout 4 dev, who really wants Bethesda to push power armor and settlement customization in the next RPG

Can you A.C.E this Fallout quiz?

Fallout's TV adaptation is "way more" popular than Todd Howard expected, so the RPG series' devs have had to ensure "the games are ready for all the players who are coming into them"

Bethesda's Todd Howard tips his hat to Obsidian, says he invited the Fallout: New Vegas devs to the Fallout Season 2 set to relive the iconic setting

"The damage is done": Sony slams Tencent's "nonsense" response to lawsuit over Horizon Zero Dawn-like Light of Motiram, calling the open-world survival game a "knock-off"

Tencent responds to Sony lawsuit calling its new open-world survival game a "slavish" Horizon Zero Dawn clone, says it's "an improper attempt to fence off a well-trodden corner of popular culture"

Sony sues Tencent over open-world survival game it calls a "slavish" Horizon Zero Dawn clone, which was apparently announced after PlayStation refused a collab offer
