Read moreHelldivers 2’s latest Major Order, at least in theory, is one of those one people really like. Seriously, there are a bunch of things to kill a big number of, and if that’s not enough, one of Arrowhead’s community managers has just reiterated that having fun on the menu is “an explicit company target” when it comes to the game.You can’t say the studio’s been slacking when it comes to enacting that 60-day plan of changes to help get it outlined following the whole Escalation of Freedom debacle either, having deployed two patches in the last two days. Sure, one was an emergency whipping out of a single fix, but that’ll have taken plenty of work.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings One of the bugs Arrowhead still has on its hit list is one that’s se…

Read moreThe Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is slowly making progress, and one step it hopes to put forward is by bringing Ian McKellen aboard.Earlier this year, in Hollywood’s quest to infinitely capitalise upon pre-existing IP even if maybe we should just leave things alone sometimes, it was announced that a new Lord of the Rings film is on the way, very specifically about, uh, Gollum. A new Lord of the Rings film isn’t all that surprising, though the choice of focus might be, but apparently both Andy Serkis and Peter Jackson have been thinking about it for quite a while. Of course, not much has been confirmed about the film just yet, including casting, but according to everyone’s favourite version of Gandalf himself, Ian McKellen, the actor has actually been approached to reprise the rol…
Read moreWhen players found out they had only days to get Concord’s Platinum trophy, many got to work, but only a select few managed it.Last week, Firewalk Studios made the slightly surprising announcement that only two weeks after it was even released, Concord would be shutting down. It did so with only three days to spare, meaning trophy hunters had to work quickly if they wanted to get one of those coveted Platinum trophies. Considering how little time there was to do such a thing, some players took very drastic measures, like offing themselves to see which team can kill itself first. And it seems like those tactics only paid off for a very select, but very nice number of people: 69 people, to be precise.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings As spotted by Gam…

It’s called Chemical Agents, and will live up to that name by letting you douse enemies in horrible gas and unleash some similarly toxic odours on your teammates through a fart emote.The news of this Warbond comes as studio is building to the deployment of Patch 01.001.007 on September 17, which thus far looks to be bringing a heap of buffs in an attempt to get the game’s community back into their happy zone, following recent criticism over nerfs.
