When Gearbox rocked up to PAX West to show off some concept art for Borderlands 4, they didn't give away too much information about the upcoming looter-shooter. They did give something else away, however, as our siblings at GamesRadar reported—dice cards that contained a secret message. Each one had a series of up and down arrows surrounding a picture of a D20, and when Randy Pitchford revealed they contained a secret code, the internet's sleuths went to work.
Sometimes a great TV tie-in can give a game a popularity boost—The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 both got Netflix bumps—but it doesn't seem likely that an upcoming TV short based on the world of Concord will have the same effect, given that the hero shooter can't even be purchased anymore. Sony and developer Firewalk are taking Concord offline this week after a dismal player turnout; it didn't even crack 1,000 concurrents on Steam.
Haunted houses are a horror staple, but how do you do one in Magic: The Gathering, where a typical expansion represents an entire plane of existence? Duskmourn: House of Horror answers that by having a haunted house spread beyond its grounds to take over an entire world. The backstory has it that a kind of fear demon imprisoned within the bounds of a single mansion found a loophole, expanding the grounds until everyone on the plane of Duksmourn was trapped within.
The sudden shutdown of the newly-launched hero shooter Concord sparked an entirely unsurprising wave of unfortunate grave dancing amongst people who decried the game for being too «woke» or diverse, rather than being a game «for gamers,» whatever that's supposed to mean. But amidst all that predictable sound and fury, there are also messages of support for the developers at Firewalk Studios, and expressions of hope from fans that Concord will be back.
I have 41 minutes in the launch version of Spectre Divide, the new tactical FPS from Mountaintop Studios that has enjoyed loads of buzz from Valorant and Counter-Strike enjoyers through its closed and open betas. Normally, 41 minutes is more than enough time to fit in a match of Spectre, but I've been stuck staring at its menus thanks to unfortunate matchmaking bugs. I can't find a match despite around 30,000 people playing it, and once I start a queue, I can't cancel it unless I close the game.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 currently has a closed beta underway, during which players are getting to know all of the ins and outs of what this this year's game has to offer, including talking to your meatshields and now finding some interesting calling cards.
CD Projekt Red (CDPR) co-CEO Michal Nowakowski confirmed during a recent earnings call that the team will be looking at further animation projects within the world of Cyberpunk, mostly thanks to the overwhelming success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
