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.
