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

Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't give Karlach the ending she deserves, but new D&D lore unintentionally confirms a much more favorable canon for the beloved tiefling

New Baldur's Gate 3 mod restores some very cute dialogue between Withers and a spunky Tiefling child, and I'm gonna need Larian to tell my why it was cut

Playing Final Fantasy 7 "scared" Baldur's Gate 2's writing lead into adding romance to the RPG series: "These guys kicked our ass"

Baldur's Gate 3 icon Maggie Robertson would love to voice the "silliest, goofiest" character after being Orin the Red: A squirrel

Baldur's Gate 3 villain Orin the Red is psychotic because she's a "sweet little thing" who was "never taught how to love," says her actor: "The only thing she knows is violence"

"I counted every box in Baldur's Gate 3": The real Baldur's Gate 3 completionist is the person who dug through the RPG's code to find every last crate, chest, and barrel

Fallout co-creator Tim Cain's long list of "nitpicky" D&D questions for Wizards of the Coast in 2002 might help explain why Larian wanted to move on from the tabletop license after Baldur's Gate 3

Baldur's Gate 3 Astarion actor Neil Newbon says the RPG's beloved vampire has "meant more than I ever realized he would," and "I'm not ready to let go of him"

Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "this sort of feedback is a lot more useful during early access" as fans inexplicably ask Larian to "#showthegaleballs"

Cyberpunk

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

CD Projekt said ditching game-key cards for Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 was "the right thing to do," and it's apparently paid off because 75% of that version's sales were physical

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

After 17 years, Bethesda finally seems to be making good on Fallout 3's disappointing collector's edition with a "fully functional" $300 Pip-Boy replica

Fallout co-creator and RPG mastermind Leonard Boyarsky could smack his former self "upside the head" for past comments on AI – and no, Obsidian isn't "using it at all"

Fallout co-creator Tim Cain explains the biggest RPG sins, including annoying NPCs, bad exposition, and those terrible escort missions: "'This escort quest will be fun.' They'd be wrong."

After its disastrous Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition launch, Bethesda promises to address the RPG's problems "as quick as we can" as it scrambles to release an upcoming hotfix and big updates

As Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition crashes and burns on arrival, Bethesda responds to reports of DLC "no longer being recognized as 'owned'" by the RPG's players

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition is here with new "Mostly Negative" DLC on Steam and an update RPG fans say "breaks the game and adds nothing more"

Fallout 4's cinematic dialogue system failed to shine despite Bethesda spending "forever" working on it says Todd Howard: "It really did not resonate"

Fallout 3 remaster reportedly in production as Bethesda boss Todd Howard confirms the developer is working on Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 76, "and some other things"

Todd Howard "hadn't had a break in 20 years" when Fallout 4 came out, so he took a 3-month sabbatical to "go touch some grass"

Horizon

8 years after Horizon Zero Dawn, developer Guerrilla Games reveals it "always thought about it as a multiplayer game" following Horizon MMORPG announcement

Long-rumored Horizon MMORPG is officially real, but the monkey's paw curls as it's not coming to PlayStation and is "built specifically for mobile"

Tencent defends "slavish" Horizon Zero Dawn clone from Sony, claiming that "fame does not create a trademark" as it tries to bat legal claims away from survival game Light of Motiram

"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

Death Stranding 2 is pushing the Decima engine to new heights, and that's amazing news for Horizon Zero Dawn fans

Horizon Zero Dawn star Ashly Burch says she had no idea if she'd actually been cast as Aloy until she was suddenly in the recording booth: "It really hit me in that moment, like, oh this is a big deal"

Horizon and The Last of Us 2 star says there's a risk game devs will say "let's just have AI" do voices for NPCs and minor characters: "We're gonna be losing out on our next generation of great performers"
