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

Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk 2 lead says first-person POV "was better" for Cyberpunk 2077, as third-person is "for more defined characters" like The Witcher 3's Geralt and God of War's Kratos

Don't expect Cyberpunk 2 to be third-person or have flashy cutscenes as lead dev values "our uninterrupted immersion"

Dragon Age

Former Dragon Age lead argues AAA games have become "too homogenous," and they might push fans toward accepting Gen AI

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

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
