And/or a PS5 upgrade path Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Rebornhas somehow managed to basically get better with every expansion: I don’t know how Naoki “Yoshi P” Yoshida and his team do it. While many MMOs are content with braving severe ups and downs,XIVhas remained consistently mesmerizing through its lengthy (seven years running) lifetime asA Realm Reborn. It’ll probably stay that way as long as Yoshida is in charge. That includes the next expansion, which could be announced on Jun 09, 2025 at 5:30PM PT,according to a new tweet from Square Enix....

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlinesis one my favorite games of all time. It received mixed critical responses, was buggy as hell when it came out, and probably could have used at least another year of development time. That said the game does an impressive job of immersing you into a world filled with vampires. Better yet, it lets you become a vampire. All of the characters are believable, your actions carry weight and affect the story, and the locations are both detailed and interesting....

They might look a little something like this Ever wonder whatFlappy BirdorAngry Birdswould have looked like in a different, much simpler time? A time like the early ’80s and ’90s?Dorklyhas made it possible with these absolutely ridiculous vintage covers. You’ve gotCandy Crush Saga(dat bulge),2048, andTemple Runas well, each with gleefully retro covers. I especially like theTemple Runcover’s faux shrinkwrap. Also, the sheer anguish on poor Flappy’s face properly mirrors how we all feel about that game, I believe....

When I’m digging holes in my garden for completely normal and not in the least bit criminal reasons, I often see worms. They are always wearing the latest fashions and spouting hilarious quips. It makes gardening a delight. Team 17 wants to emphasize these creatures’ characters even more than in the previousWormsgames. Senior producer Kelvin Aston explains exactly how they have gone about doing that inWorms Revolution. Instead of all worms being equal, this time they are split into four classes....

Playable at gamescom [Update: In an email with Destructoid, a Hi-Rez representative confirmed thatPaladinswill be free to play, but the developer is “still working out the specifics.” To prognosticate for a bit, I would personally guess the monetization will play with the deck of skills.] Hi-Rez Studios, currently known for developing the free-to-play MOBASmite, announced a new IP today in time for gamescom attendees to plan out their show floor schedules....

One of the most daunting things about fantasy literature is its scale. Fantasy authors find it difficult to conceive of a story that runs for a single volume — and a novel-length one, at that — as opposed to their usual penchant for churning out multi-entry 1000-page brick tomes. But that doesn’t mean they never attempt to do it. In fact, if you’re not on the hunt for lengthy series that stretch several installments and require a long-term commitment, there are practically dozens of standalone books that can serve as a gateway into these imaginative worlds....

Your keys might not work, so be careful [Update]:We have received this statement from Green Man Gaming’s head of PR: As you know, we have official and direct relationships with a range of publishers, developers and distributors. Some publishers send us keys directly. Some publishers use distributors to send out their keys, and so we work with the distributor to get keys. Where we don’t have a direct relationship, we have always taken care to responsibly source keys from range of outlets....

The raid boss run mode, Pantheon, has specifically garnered lots of attention, and we even got the world’s firstsolocompletion of it. Granted, it does take a tad before the fact of the achievement settles in. Indeed, someone has successfully taken down fourDestiny 2Raid bosses one after another, all alone....

But which one’s worse? Adam Jensen’s about to have a very bad day. He has to go to undercover at a high-security prison for augmented people, and prison seems like a terrible place to go. But, that prison is in Arizona, and a prison in Arizona seems like an especially terrible place to go on account of all the heat and old people and scorpions. Arizona aug jail is the setting forDeus Ex: Mankind Divided‘s second major add-on,A Criminal Past....

New strategy title from Kalypso Organised crime simOmerta – City of Gangstersis giving you the chance to be the Don of Atlantic City, complete with your own crew of gangsters and on-the-nose nicknames. I like the look of this character creator, specifically the option to create a backstory for your mob boss.
