As part of this year’s TennoCon celebrations, Warframe developer Digital Extremes has given fans a nice big look at the free-to-play sci-fi shooter’s ambitious Duviri Paradox expansion, which is currently due to launch some time in “winter 2022”. The Duviri Paradox will be Warframe’s latest open-world expansion, following the likes of Plains of Eidolon and Heart of Deimos, and plunges players into the extremely weird world of Duviri, featuring a sort of fantasy western aesthetic shot through with floating islands and fractals. It’s also a world that appears to exist inside of the head of new big bad Dominus Thrax,…
Digital Extremes – the studio behind free-to-play sci-fi shooter Warframe, has announced Soulframe, a new fantasy themed action-MMORPG set in a sister universe to Warframe. Soulframe will be Digital Extremes’ first new game in over five years, following on from 2017’s short-lived team-based FPS The Amazing Eternals, but details remain slight at this juncture. Like its predecessor, Soulframe will adopt a free-to-play model when it eventually arrives at some unspecified future point, and Digital Extremes has shared a few additional details in an interview with The Washington Post. Here, it explains Soulframe will be built around “slow and heavy” melee…
Back 4 Blood developers turtle Rock Studios has given players a brief look at its upcoming second expansion. Although the team said it would “love” to confirm the release date, it needed “a bit more time” but served up a single new screenshot – you can see it in the embedded tweet below; there’s a cult, body parts, and some strange symbols daubed around the place – to whet our collective appetites. It also teased that the new expansion will probably include Act 5 with some clever word play on Twitter. Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content and images…
CD Projekt – the publisher behind studio CD Projekt Red, developer of The Witcher games and, of course, Cyberpunk 2077 – has seen its share value plummet by over 75 percent. That’s according to Business Insider Poland, which says that the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077 has wiped the value of the then most-valuable games company in Europe from over 40 billion Polish złoty – that’s around £7.11bn – to less than zł10 billion – about £1.77bn. The drop in CD Projekt’s value – whilst still remaining one of Poland’s most valuable companies – reportedly takes it back to a…

Sony has confirmed its acquisition of Bungie is now complete. Sony announced it would buy Bungie for $3.6bn back in February. At the time, Sony boss Jim Ryan stated the purchase was “an important step in [Sony’s] strategy to expand the reach of PlayStation to a much wider audience”. Despite a probe by the FTC that sought to review “the latest example of how aggressive the agency is becoming in reviewing mergers”, the agreement has now formally “closed” and Sony has posted across its social media channels to “officially” welcome Bungie to “the PlayStation family”.

I’m not too far into Loopmancer, but I’m loving it. It’s a beautiful 2D roguelite mounted in a glorious 3D cyberpunk world. You have great wonderfully nasty weapons, the controls are swift and precise, and the polish fails at the most charming moments – your character’s hair is one, and the pleasantly stilted swearing of your enemies is another. But there’s already something about it that I am really becoming obsessed by. The pocket money. Downed enemies drop money for you to collect, money which you too will lose if you have it on you when you die. So instead,…
Sea of Thieves’ long-long-long-awaited Captaincy Update, first discussed prior to the game’s release all the way back in 2018, will miss its planned launch later this month and is now due to arrive alongside Season Seven on 4th August.In its originally envisaged 2018 guise, the Captaincy Update was an early victim of Sea of Thieves’ rocky launch, with Rare ultimately making the decision to place it “on the back burner” while it refocused its development plans. Most assumed it was lost to time after that, but, to everyone’s surprise, it suddenly resurfaced during Microsoft’s not-E3 showcase this June.This new iteration…
