For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better - and if you fail to guess it at all, you’ll break your streak. The latter is why working out today’s Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going. So why gamble on a risky final guess when you can learn a few clues and, failing that, get the definitive answer?...

The information, posted by WOWHead, purportedly comes from a BlizzConline press kit which was made public. There are details too on current WOW expansion Shadowlands’ first major content patch, named Chains of Domination. “Journey through the Dark Portal once again in World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic!” Blizzard’s leaked press release reads. “Originally released in January 2007, The Burning Crusade summoned the heroes of Azeroth to the shattered and fel-scarred realm of Outland to stop an invasion of the demonic Burning Legion....

As a reminder, Microsoft is one of the few companies committed to Gamescom this year - and the only platform holder. Both Sony and Nintendo are sitting out the show’s big in-person return, alongside Activision Blizzard and Take-Two. Ubisoft, Bandai Namco and Embracer are among those also in attendance, though Assassin’s Creed fans are expecting all of Ubisoft’s big reveals to actually take place online, via a special event due in September....

Xbox Live Gold members and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will have exclusive access to both games for a limited time, on top of the usual benefits. Watch on YouTube Windbound - Official Gameplay Trailer Windbound will be available from 1st - 31st October. Originally released in 2020, it tasks players with surviving in a colourful island world with a clear Zelda inspiration....

The subscription service is now named PC Game Pass (albeit still with an Xbox logo). Nothing else has changed. Highlighting that latter fact in a humorous post on Twitter, the newly-rebranded PC Game Pass issued its own patch notes. “That’s it, really that’s it,” the account wrote. The branding change was first evident last night during The Game Awards, where a trailer for PC Game Pass titles also revealed four new games coming to the subscription at launch....

Speaking overnight to CNBC, Spencer noted the current economic issues many were facing, and said Xbox didn’t think it “was the right move for us at this point” to follow suit. “In a time when our customers are more economically challenged and uncertain than ever, we don’t think it’s the right move for us at this point to be raising prices on our consoles,” Spencer said. Would Spencer rule out ever increasing the Xbox Series X/S prices?...

But one major criticism has been the distinct lack of diversity in its main cast. Last week, director Naoki Yoshida addressed the lack of diversity in an interview. It fits the “isolated nature of this realm” he said, as well as the inspiration of Medieval Europe. “Ultimately, we felt that while incorporating ethnic diversity into Valisthea was important, an over-incorporation into this single corner of a much larger world could end up causing a violation of those narrative boundaries we originally set for ourselves....

Outriders launched for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation last April, delivering a slice of co-operative shooter action that Eurogamer reviewer Vikki Blake enjoyed, albeit with some caveats. “For some,” she wrote, “I suspect Outriders doesn’t innovate enough to stand out from an already oversaturated shooter market, relying too much on the ideas of other, stronger titles that have come before it.” “[But] as a die-hard Guardian and card-carrying fangirl of the genre,” Vikki continued, “Outriders tickles me in all the right places....

The Queen and the Sea, which follows previous paid expansions The Bad Seed and Fatal Falls, brings a selection of nautically minded additions to Dead Cells, including two brand-new biomes, Infested Shipwreck and the Lighthouse. In terms of progression placement, these new biomes appear toward the back-end of the game, running parallel to Dead Cells’ existing High Peak Castle and Throne Room stages. That means the Hand of the King will no longer be the game’s only final boss, with players having the option of taking on the Queen and experiencing an entirely new ending....

“PC players can now update their DualSense wireless controller with the latest firmware from Windows 11 and select Windows 10 devices, without connecting to a PS5,” Sony announced today. In order to do this, you will need to download the Firmware updater for DualSense wireless controller app (catchy name) to your Windows PC. When this app is loaded, all you will then need to do to get all the latest updates on your controller is use a USB cable to connect said controller to your PC, and then just follow the on-screen instructions and you’re away....

“Around 12 years ago I worked at Lionhead in Guildford. Around that time, there was almost like a mini Swedish invasion. Then they all found the other Swedes who were living in Guilford, it was summertime and everyone’s partying. I made some of the best friends that I have in my life. “The projects that we were on got finished up, and over time everyone moved back to Stockholm. I came and visited pretty much any chance that I had....

I had to remind myself about this year’s releases before choosing a moment that impacted me. Sinking countless hours into older JRPGs (looking at you Trails) didn’t help matters, and even the most generous editor would struggle accepting that. As a reviewer, I’ve gone through numerous big releases and had some fantastic experiences. Seeing the Great Ace Attorney finally localised is up there, Metroid’s 2D return was magnificent, and Mario Party continues infuriating my very core....

“MyFaction is a new take on a classic team-building mode in which players collect, manage, and upgrade an array of WWE Superstars and Legends to create their ultimate four-person factions,” 2K explains via a press release. “Managers and Side Plates boost performance, while Logos, Wallpapers, and Nameplates allow for creative customisation.” 2K is also keen for you to know that “anything that players can unlock with Virtual Currency can also be unlocked with MyFaction Points”, and as it’s an “online single-player only experience […] players cannot gain a competitive advantage over other players by purchasing virtual currency” - or, in simpler terms, you can’t pay to win....

Countdown To Doomsday began life in 1990 as a PC, Commodore 64 and Amiga game. Released as part of its Gold Box series by Strategic Simulations Inc. (better known as SSI), the game was based on TSR’s Buck Rogers XXVC table-top role-playing game, itself a blending together of the famous sci-fi character with the Dungeons & Dragons second edition ruleset. As was common at the time, Countdown presents a first-person exploration view combined with an isometric display for combat....

Vertigo Games says that the improved version of the four-player co-op title will “reach an astounding level of immersion that will jolt players as they experience real haptic feedback, a 4K HDR display, and a 110 degree field of view”. You can see it in action below: “With yet another nomination for Best of VR at this year’s TGA, the developers of After The Fall and Arizona Sunshine couldn’t be more excited to be part of the impressive lineup coming to the new PS VR2,” the team says....

We did some research and this article is the result: a comprehensive list of all PS5 and Xbox Series X games that are set to exceed the traditional 60fps limit of consoles. As well as the game list, we’ve included what you need to know about the tech underpinning 4K 120Hz televisions - HDMI 2.1 - and the best 4K TVs to choose for next-gen gaming. While TVs are the focus here, as this is how most people will play on Xbox Series X or PS5, we’ve also covered the other option: high refresh rate monitors....

Building on the acclaimed racing action of its 2016 predecessor, Redout 2 features 36 new tracks (plus mirror variants of each) which can be experienced in its 12-player online races or single-player career campaign - which promises “hundreds” of events from a variety of different modes, including the likes of Arena Races, Time Attacks, Last Man Standing, and Boss Races. Elsewhere, the original game’s extensive customisation options return, with players now able to start with one of 12 distinct chassis and then built on that from a selection of rocket engines, propulsors, stabilsers, rudders, magnets, intercoolers, flaps, wings, and spoilers....

He not only brings skins, but also a new array of new abilities to the battlefield, mainly involving the use of micro-drones to reveal enemies’ footsteps and even how much health they have left. These, alongside other qualities, make him an interesting option for recon players. This page outlines Seer abilities and cooldowns in Apex Legends Season 10, as well as all Seer skins that had a debut during launch....
