And Pillars of Eternity players will be able to get their hands on it this week.On the game’s official site, Obsidian announced that the public beta for Pillars of Eternity’s turn-based mode will go live on November 5. The real-time combat was inspired by the system used by the game’s sequel, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire. The studio also released an announcement trailer for…

It’s been clear since the launch of Battlefield Redsec, the free-to-play component of Battlefield 6 that includes battle royale and Gauntlet, that there are players who only really care about one of the game’s two sides and not the other. This isn’t necessarily surprising, but the in-game Challenge system caused tensions to come to a bit of a head, and it all has to do with how Challenges are created and distributed.

Gachiakuta is a stylish anime with one of the coolest power systems I’ve seen in recent times. However, these are not the reasons why it stands out. Gachiakuta tells one of the most visceral stories I’ve seen in a shonen show. Pulling no punches, this anime is not about the struggles to create a better future, but about the feelings of those surviving in a merciless world. The protagonist of Gachiakuta is Rudo, a boy who, after witnessing the assassination of his foster father, is thrown from the edge of a floating island called Sphere — and ironically referred to…

Even after a little under an hour of hands-on play, it’s clear that Pokemon Legends: Z-A is the most interesting and unique Pokemon title since, er… the last one of these, when Game Freak and The Pokemon Company put out 2022’s Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Now established as what looks like a permanent secondary strand of the ‘main line’ Pokemon titles, Z-A continues with the more bold and experimental development philosophy of Arceus – though this time, I expect further temerity of design – and with it, perhaps a more mixed measure of success. Back when Legends: Arceus was released, we…

Between 4K videos, raw photo files, game libraries, and endless work documents, running out of storage space feels like a monthly crisis. The Seagate expansion 20TB external hard drive solves this problem in one massive swoop, and right now, Amazon has slashed the price from $499 down to just $229 for both Prime and non-Prime members. This early Black Friday deal beats even Seagate’s own website pricing, and here’s the kicker: you’re paying the same price you’d normally fork over for a 10TB drive.

The Fortnite Simpsons mini season’s battle pass features iconic characters from the show along with a few Simpson-ified Fortnite characters.

The Simpsons children unfortunately won’t be available as skins in the battle pass, but Maggie is available as a glider and Bart and Lisa will appear as outfits in the item shop. Original Fortnite characters like Peely and Fishstick will also be in the battle pass, but instead of their usual selves, they’ll receive The Simpsons-themed variants. Here are all of…

GameSpot may receive revenue from affiliate and advertising partnerships for sharing this content and from purchases through links. A new season of Fortnite means it’s time to refresh the loot pool, and the fact that this new season is Simpsons-flavored means we’re getting more of an overhaul than usual. It’s similar to the situation back in May when Star Wars season replaced all the Fortnite guns with Star Wars blasters, but since The Simpsons is a sitcom and not a movie franchise about wars, Epic is going about things a little differently, by replacing most of the health and shield…

Arc Raiders has seemingly done what it set out to do, becoming the biggest extraction shooter outside of Tarkov.
