The first of the two new bosses in the Nigthreign DLC is already one of the best in the entire game damn

Aw yeah that's a bummer. Deep of Night is pretty brutal for sure. I *do* think this DLC will offer a lot for people who aren't interested in it though. I won't spoil but there's more in the DLC than I think people anticipated.

Elden Ring Nightreign's Forsaken Hollows Has Reignited My Interest With Exciting Additions We played six hours of the DLC and spoke to the game's director to find out what's new.

It's impressive how good Elden Ring Nightreign is for a game that even the director admits was mostly reused assets with lots of polish. I hope we get more games at this scale from FromSoftware. www.gamespot.com/articles/eld...

wait - isn't that the dynamic flying mount stuff that WoW borrowed?

The Makers of ‘Silksong’ Aren’t Done Just Yet The developers at Team Cherry tell us they’re working on new content for their popular action game

NEW: I spoke to Team Cherry about Silksong DLC, cut content, difficulty settings, storytelling, what they were thinking with Bilewater, the lack of signposting for Act 3, whether they'll do another Hollow Knight game, and much, much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I was on the latest episode of Button Mash to talk about all the surprise Steam hits of 2025, and how you just can't predict the year in gaming without leaving a few blank spots for the surprise REPOs and Schedule 1s of the world.

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.

Poets are now cybersecurity threats: Researchers used 'adversarial poetry' to trick AI into ignoring its safety guard rails and it worked 62% of the time Hacking the planet with florid verse.

"Our society might have stumbled into the most embarrassing possible cyberpunk dystopia, but—as of today—it's at least one in which wordwizards who can mesmerize the machine mind with canny verse and potent turns of phrase are now a pressing cybersecurity threat."

Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?

The tech industry's smol bean act is so maddening. Gee, all we did is put out products that make frequent errors while telling everyone they're going to lose their jobs to them. How come they don't like that?

Overwatch 2's first melee damage hero was 'pushed forward' in the release schedule despite fans expecting a new tank: 'It's more about servicing that playstyle that we really didn't have in the roster... Blizzard says Vendetta was too fun to skip.

Here's why Overwatch 2 is skipping a new tank hero this year. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ov...

I consider it my professional obligation to inflict as much collateral psychic damage on passing web designers as possible.

Counter-Strike 2 modders surprise drop an excellent Halo 3 multiplayer pack, accidentally proving how badly Valve has squandered Source 2 FOV 90: Project Misriah is a glimpse at the offbeat Source 2 shooters we should have by now, if not for Valve.

This week's FOV 90 (my FPS column at @pcgamer.com) is about a very good mod that recreates Halo 3 multiplayer in Counter-Strike 2. It's also about how badly Valve has squandered Source 2. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/co...

Overwatch fans are desperately trying to solve a mystery with its newest hero, but Blizzard already revealed the answer Blizzard didn't do a great job at keeping this a secret.

I can't believe I had to write this story but I guess nobody else was going to give a solid clarification on the new Overwatch hero's role. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ov...

Blizzard points to fish as the lead suspects in the case of the World of Warcraft: Midnight beta's borderline unplayable lag "Come on, Blizzard. You gotta reel it in."

I love all the bizarre quirks of video game design, especially when they have the power to bring down a beta. www.pcgamer.com/games/world-...

Blizzard's reason for adding premium currency to World of Warcraft after 21 years of doing just fine without one has everyone worried about player housing Nobody's buying it.

Blizzard says a premium currency makes it easier to buy multiple items, but, as Reddit user Pariah points out, "so does a shopping cart." www.pcgamer.com/games/world-...

Yeah we should! I've just been doing Deep of Night with a regular group lately, but I'd be down for regular runs or w/e

Only gets better from there! For a short game, it's kind of a slow burn until it really pops off.

i owe so many video game designers an apology

I'm also curious about this. I think the popular theory is that it works like old personal performance did in OW 1. It compares you to people of the same skill playing the same hero on the same map, etc. I think it's a number heavily affected by a hero's popularity in the meta, too.
