Malkavians Revealed in New Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Trailer

The fifth and final clan joining Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 has been revealed. The mystical Malkavians are returning from the first game. Although the clan was a player favourite in the original, the fact that each member of the clan had a unique take on the world meant that bringing them to the game would require a lot of work. Their first discipline is Dementation, which they can use to force people to flee. Their second discipline, Auspex, will let the Malkavians see through walls and leave their bodies as an astral projection.


Overwatch Goes Smash Bros. In Blizzard Workshop Mod

An Overwatch player, who goes by the handle Aifjs3, has used the Blizzard Workshop to recreate the Super Smash Bros. experience in for the team-based shooter. Dubbed Super Smashwatch, it pits 12 fighters in an all-out brawl with added Smash features like double jumping, shielding and air dodging. Aifjs3 says he got help from other creators with some of the modeā€™s mechanics. The mode is a work-in-progress but is definitely more impressive that a lot of the other creations in the Workshop. You can use code VZ4YG to try it out.


New Need for Speed Game Coming Out This Year

Ghost Games has confirmed that a new Need for Speed game is in the works and that it will be launching this year. Unfortunately, they also said that the next entry in the long-running racing sim series wonā€™t be shown at this yearā€™s E3. Ghost Games says its goal is to ā€œdeliver a truly memorable high-speed entryā€ for the 25th anniversary of the series rather than ā€œa series of promotional events.ā€ This means that weā€™re only likely to hear more about the game close to its release.


Nvidia Ansel Website Possibly Leaked New Red Faction Game

Nvidia Anselā€™s website may have just leaked the next Red Faction game. Anselā€™s compatibility page listed a game called Red Faction Evolution which was quickly spotted by eagle-eyed members of the Metacouncil forum and was reported by PC Gamer. Red Faction Evolution has since been removed from the page, but not before screenshots could be taken. THQ Nordic now owns the licence for the series and has previously said that they have 80 games in development, only 48 of which have been announced. Maybe theyā€™ll announce the game at E3.


Borderlands 2 Might Get New DLC to Bridge Story to Borderlands 3

After three years since its last update, the Steam version of Borderlands 2 just received two new branches. Branches are sort of experimental versions that are usually used to test new features or content. As such, fans are speculating that Borderlands 2 may get a new DLC to bridge its story with whateverā€™s coming in Borderlands 3. The new branches are named Anemone and Mancana and both received new updates this week. This is just speculation though, as Gearbox has made no announcements, so take it with a grain of salt.


Total War Rome Mod Brings Classic RTS to World War 2

A total conversion mod for the original Total War Rome called Total War 1942 trades the chariots and legionnaires for tanks, planes and rocket troopers. The mod lets players pick from 18 factions to start a campaign or historic battle. Itā€™s a bit awkward, though, to see infantry lining up in rows while exchanging fire with the enemy, a style of warfare thatā€™s become obsolete as modern weapons came to play. The mod was created by Dagovax and is available to download for free at its ModDB page.


Total War Three Kingdoms Sold Over A Million Copies in First Week

Anthem Gets ā€œUnder the Hoodā€ Update

Three new Emerald Abyss Legendary Missions were added, though, and all of the Javelins received buffs. Update 1.2.0 is live now.


Death Stranding Release Date Revealed

The days spent wondering just what Death Stranding really is are almost at an end. Sony has released a new trailer for Hideo Kojimaā€™s next masterpiece and it reveals just when the game is coming out.

Finally, the trailer lists the big names behind the gameā€™s characters. Death Stranding is set to launch on November 8th and will be a PlayStation-exclusive.

Apex Legends Plans to Win Back Players in Season 2

It seems that Apex Legends was able to learn a lesson or two from what happened to them in the gameā€™s first season. Apex Legendsā€™ launch was huge but because of very little updates, a lot of players opted out of playing the game. But Respawn plans to win them back with the gameā€™s Season 2. Just like other battle royale shooters, they plan to have some weekly as well as daily challenges to keep players engaged. These will help in player progression and reduce grind.
