  05-11-2026 01:45 via GameSpot - All Content

Sitting through the queue would bring up the game's list of possible rulesets, but they were grayed out an unavailable. It took around 30 minutes of players requeuing and waiting with bated breath to see if the

• The new Khazalite Holds range proves that Age of Sigmar has some of Warhammer's best models

  07-11-2026 11:00 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  I have a plea for you: don't sleep on Warhammer Age of Sigmar. It may not be a household name like its grimdark sibling 40K, but this fantasy wargame is some of Games Workshop's best work – and the new Khazalite Holds range (which has just gone up for pre-order) is a good example of that. When it comes to Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000 gets a lot of attention. Understandably so; it's a deeply compelling world with iconic factions and trend-setting gameplay. However, Age of Sigmar is no slouc

• Dragon Age writer is "collaborating" on Mass Effect-like RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn

  David Gaider is one of BioWare's most notable writers. After cutting his teeth on Baldur's Gate 2, he wrote some of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's most memorable characters, and would go on to lead the narrative for Dragon Age: Origins, setting the tone for BioWare's original fantasy franchise. Gaider notably never worked on Mass Effect, but he's getting the chance to channel its spirit as part of the writing team for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn."Alongside my work at Summerfall, I've al

• Canadian politician tears into EA and calls for federal support of BioWare

  Suddenly, the vibe around the #SaveMassEffect movement has shifted. At first, it seemed like little more than a grabby hashtag allowing Mass Effect fans to have their voices heard after EA's shocking closure of BioWare and cancelation of Mass Effect 5 last month. But since then, the Change.org petition has racked up more than 300,000 signatures, and now the Canadian government is being forced to acknowledge the situation.That's because a separate petition asking the Government of Canada for fede

• A bunch of Grand Theft Auto games will be cheap on Steam until GTA 6 comes out, and only one sucks

  06-11-2026 21:53 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  In the run-up to GTA 6's November 19 launch, Rockstar has multiple classic Grand Theft Auto games on sale on Steam – and, nearest I can tell, only on Steam. The Nintendo Switch eShop actually has a competing deal for the Grand Theft Auto Definitive Edition Trilogy, which is down 67% to $19.79, but that sale ends in 11 hours from the time of writing. On Steam, several GTA games are discounted until November 19 for an obviously timed special promotion.On Steam, you'll find four games on sale via

• CoD: Warzone’s New Intro Mode Lets Players Buy A Nuke, Which Isn’t Very Beginner-Friendly

  06-11-2026 21:34 via GameSpot - All Content
  
  Modern Warfare 4 has integrated with Warzone for Season 1, bringing new maps, modes, and game mechanics to Call of Duty's battle royale. The season introduces a brand-new training mode called Rally Point, which oddly enough, also lets players buy the game-ending nuke killstreak that's normally reserved for multiplayer. This is the first time Warzone has let players buy a nuke, but this seems like an odd choice for a training ground designed to allow players the space to learn, as sweaty players

  World of Warcraft: Forever is one of the rare big-budget online game launches that seems to have mostly gone down without a hitch. Not only has the MMO been well-received critically and by players, it's also been an exceptionally smooth release from a performance standpoint as well, with the MMO community dubbing it "the smoothest WoW launch ever." And yet, in the early days of the dev team's pitching process, it took some convincing to get Blizzard leadership on-board with yet another WoW branc

  The best PS5 controllers have been a bit behind the times lately. While Xbox has been licensing all sorts of third parties to develop gamepads with built-in screens and fancy charging stands, Sony has only just been allowing a few of its favorite brands to create secondary controllers for the PS5 - and still isn't letting any of them have rumble, haptic feedback, or wake privileges - all so that the DualSense seems more special.Nacon is the third brand to take a second crack at its PS5 controlle

Speaking to Polygon, Fujibayashi – who served as director of Capcom's Oracle games and The Minish Cap, before joining Nintendo where he would go on to develop Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom – explained why Zelda games are often reinventing the series.

• How to find Moji's House Key in Phantom Blade Zero

  06-11-2026 18:39 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  Collecting Moji's House Key in Phantom Blade Zero is quite easy as it's right at the end of a path, in the middle of the Mandate Encampment, making it near enough impossible to miss. The problem is the beginning of that path can be easily missed and there's also a two-phase boss fight near the end that can be quite gnarly if you're not prepared. I'll admit that the rewards in Moji's house aren't great, but you may as well break in if you've gone through all this effort to get the key. With that,

  Finding the Phantom Blade Zero Training Grounds Key took me ages, all because I missed a dirt path in the main Mandate camp that leads to the dovecote and, eventually, the boss that holds the key. It's also a very good idea to find it as you won’t be able to finish repairing the Illusory Pipa without it – and you'll miss out on some other rewards too. Anyway, I've explained exactly how you find the Training Grounds Key in Phantom Blade Zero below, so that you can wrap up the Mandate Encampme

  Former Rockstar Games technical director Obbe Vermeij reckons the studio could release the PC version of GTA 6 sooner than everyone expects. With GTA 6, it's no surprise that Rockstar is doing what Rockstar usually does. Console release first, followed by a PC release a year or so later – or a decade and change later in Red Dead Redemption's case. A GTA 6 PC port is obviously going to happen, even if Rockstar hasn't said so yet, but most had accepted that we'd be waiting until November 2027 at
