Summary Dead by Daylightis known for its crossovers, having previously included characters from Tomb Raider, Alan Wake, Dungeons & Dragons and more in its various multiplayer modes. The latest crossover from developerBehaviour Interactiveis withCastlevania, Konami’s legendary gothic series. To say Castlevania fans are starving would be an understatement. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 was released over a decade ago, and the reception was middling. This hasn’t stopped Konami from lending Castlevania to other titles, such as V-Rising and now, Dead by Daylight....

Summary I stood amid pristinely manicured displays of fine leather goods with a few other journalists at the Coach house flagship in New York City, tapping away at PC displays set up for us alongside the shelves. In the spacious open floor plan of the brand’s iconic Fifth Ave storefront, surrounded by tens of thousands of dollars in handbags and clothing, I was playingRoblox. Earlier this year, Coach launched its campaign Courage to Be Real, which seeks to reach a new generation of consumers where they hang out the most: in the digital space....

Summary Last month, following the slew of previews, I ruminated onwho exactly Concord was for. Its influences and tone felt dated, and the demographic it was attempting to appeal to have already hitched their hearts and their wallets to other trucks, or in this case, other live-service shooter games. Now that the open beta is here, we have our answer -Concordis for nobody. Or 2,363 people, to be more exact. That’s the peak player count during Concord’s open beta on Steam....

Summary Sinceplaying Cryptmaster’s demo a few days ago, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. It’s a real testament to the power of a good demo that I bought it just a day later – it was already discounted, I wanted to play more, and even if I never finished it, I could rest easyknowing my money was going into the pocket of an independent developer. Thankfully, I don’t have to worry about yet another game languishing forever in the depths of my Steam backlog, because I’ve been completely hooked since I dove in properly....

Quick Links Deadpoolis back to his old antics in his newest movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, but as the title might suggest, he isn’t coming back alone. Wolverine comes back, being played by the very same actor he’s always been played by (Hugh Jackman), but fans are wondering how that is possible. This question comes from the fate of Wolverine in the last movie that we saw him in, Logan. With a fate sealed with such intensity, it seems nigh impossible for Deadpool to have an adventure alongside Wolverine… but if they managed to make the movie, they clearly found a way....

Summary A poll ofDragon Agefans has found that Solas is the most popular romance option in Inquisition. The results are incredibly close, with Dorian just a few votes away from overtaking him, but it wasn’t enough to topple the elf’s lead. Just behind Dorina, there’s Cassandra, with the top three almost neck and neck with one another. From then on, there are larger gaps between the various romance options ofDragon Age: Inquisition, making it clear that this trio has won over the most fans throughout the years....

Summary Warrior, mage or rogue? This classic choice has been the foundation ofDragon Age’s combat system since Origins was released in 2009. Dragon Age has had a lot of changes game-to-game, but BioWare has never wavered from these three classes forming the backbone of character creation. Dragon Age: The Veilguardis no different, albeit with new subclasses to suit the game’s more dynamic combat system. BioWare recently held an internal survey of which class and subclass the development team most liked to play....

Summary If you’ve been playingFallout: Londonover the past few days, chances are you’ll have run into one or two issues. While it’s been delightfulfinding the Doctor Who referencesandarguing over whether it’s football or soccer(it’s football, by the way), the whole experience has been slightly soured by the mod’s brutal launch issues, with some struggling to even boot it up and play. It’s led to some pretty harsh criticisms, but the devs want you to know that they’re trying....

Quick Links Diablo 4has significantly buffed Sorcerers in Season of the Infernal Hordes. Their Uniques are stronger, many Legendary Aspects were buffed, Paragon nodes have doubled in effectiveness, and the Intelligence stat received a scaling buff.

No build demonstrates this better than Frozen Orb mixed with Lightning Spear, a popular build archetype for endgame Sorcerer mains and Diablo content creators....
