Modder AlexKage is behind OlympusExtra, available now on NexusMods (thanks Games Radar), which aims to add new gods, boons, voices and more.

While Fortnite may be free from the woes of the cryptocurrency marketplace, the same can’t be said for the rest of the Epic Games Store. In fact, a new NFT-riddled nightmare is on its way to Epic’s shopfront imminently.The game in question is called Grit and, well, it looks a lot like something that rhymes with grit but that I am too polite to write here. At its Galaverse convention yesterday, developer Gala Games revealed it had “signed a partnership with Epic”, presumably to release the title via its storefront. Gala then went on to chat more about Grit, its…
A group of quality assurance (QA) contractors working on BioWare’s next Dragon Age game have voted to unionise. The decision – unanimously agreed by all 16 voters at Keywords Studios – means collective bargaining on worker rights will now begin.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Capcom’s survival horror classic Resident Evil has received another trailer ahead of its 14th July release. The new live-action series – not to be confused with Netflix’s four-episode CGI effort Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, which launched last year – splits its Racoon-City-focused storyline across two distinct timelines, straddling either side of a global apocalypse caused by a deadly virus. At one end, pre-apocalypse, we follow the adventures of teenage sisters Jade and Billie Wesker as they begin to notice strange things are afoot in New Racoon City.

EA has issued a statement of support, primarily for LGBTQ+ rights, ahead of this month’s Pride celebrations. The message, from chief people officer Mala Singh, follows internal criticism of EA by some employees for not speaking out sooner in support – as other game developers have. “I want to acknowledge the pain and fear that our LGBTQ+, specifically our Transgender community, is experiencing in light of emerging legislation in the US and the ongoing attacks on their human rights,” Singh wrote in post shared on EA’s blog. “We will continue to strive for a safe and supportive workplace, and as…
The Nintendo 64 had some of the greatest games of our time on it.

However, while great, these games are a product of their time, and as such can look a little rough around the edges. Well, not anymore!Now, thanks to an emulator developer that goes by the name of Darío, these legendary games have been given not only ray-tracing upgrades, but also object motion…
The dust has settled on a fresh Fortnite season, following this weekend’s explosive live event. After an awkwardly-timed season focused on all-out warfare, the next few months will bring relative calm to Epic’s battle royale island. Chapter 3 Season 3, subtitled as “Vibin'”, offers a more relaxed aesthetic, with the Island’s survivors celebrating their hard-won victory with a party. Last season’s underground base is now a giant rave cavern, with a rollercoaster you can ride using the game’s returning Baller vehicles (think those spheres from Jurassic World). A large chunk of the Island has also been transformed into a punk-fantasy…
This year’s Go Fest, Pokémon Go’s annual summer weekend extravangaza, has shaken up the game with the introduction of a new Mythical creature, the arrival of the franchise’s extra-dimensional Ultra Beasts, and the apparent (albeit likely temporary) loss of everyone’s favourite hunky professor, Willow. The disappearance of Willow, a surprise twist for the game’s second day, means the game has been left without its usual friendly face guiding players through the game’s story. A mysterious stranger named Rhi, who looks to be a new ally, has instead taken Willow’s place while players investigate the emergence of the first Ultra Beasts.…
