Battlefield 6 Update Adds Winter Offensive And Limited Time Multiplayer Event

8 hours 44 min ago

Battlefield 6's 1.1.3.0 update is bringing the fog of war into winter. As part of the new Winter Offensive, players will be able to access a new version of the Empire State map called Ice Lock Empire State. This map will only be around for a limited time, but it swaps out the standard map with frozen streets and other examples of cold and hazardous weather.

The new map will also have a themed event mode, allowing you to play Domination, Conquest, and Gauntlet mission variations that utilize the new "Freeze" mechanic. Players will also be given access to the ice climbing axe through the Winter Offensive Bonus Path. Once they have the axe, players can unleash it as a melee weapon on unlucky foes. That bonus path also features an 11-tier, time-limited reward track featuring event cosmetics, and XP Boosters.

According to Battlefield Labs, the new update has "a broad range of fixes and refinements across Battlefield 6." Some of the improvements include weapon reliability, vehicle behavior, and quality-of-life bug fixes. You can find the complete notes for this update below.

Fallout's Ella Purnell Shoots Down Potential Romance For Lucy

9 hours 46 min ago

Fallout Season 2 is just around the corner, and Amazon Prime Video has largely kept this season's storyline a secret. But there's one thing we can be reasonably certain about: Ella Purnell's Lucy won't be having a romance with Walton Goggins' Ghoul now or ever.

During an interview with Geek Culture, Purnell was with Goggins and Aaron Moten when she shot down the very idea of a love affair between Lucy and the Ghoul.

"Here's what I would say: you guys need therapy," said Purnell. "You can't fix him. You can't save him. Let it go. Let it go, hon."

If you need something to invest all of that cash in, GTA Online's next update--A Safehouse in the Hills--allows players to buy their own missions. A new trailer for that update dropped today, and it revealed the return of Michael De Santa, one of the leading characters from Grand Theft Auto 5. If the footage is any indication, Michael's retirement didn't fully take. Or perhaps he's just very passionate about keeping certain criminal affairs out of his upscale neighborhood.

Path Of Exile 2's Next Update Lets Players Transform Into Wolves, Bears, And Wyverns

15 hours 19 min ago

Path of Exile 2 players won't have to wait long for the next update. The Last of the Druids is arriving on December 12, and it's putting more than just the magic of the Druids at your command. Players will soon be able to transform their Druids into a wolf, a bear, or even a dragon-like wyvern. The teaser trailer below demonstrates the powers that each new form has to offer.

The Druid's ability to transform is tied to one of three different talismans. As a wolf, players can summon a pack to attack enemies or rip adversaries to shreds with their own teeth and claws. Bears are raw power personified, and they can increase their strength through each roar they make. Becoming a wyvern grants the player the power of flight, as well lightning and fire attacks that can bring any adversary to their knees.

Even as a human, Druids have formidable abilities to fall back upon. They can command earth and storm elements, which put thunder and volcano attacks at their fingertips. There will be two paths for Druids to ascend to. As a Shaman, Druid magic and spells are amplified to a staggering degree. The Oracle may be the second ascendancy class for the Druids, but it grants players the foresight to predict enemy movements before they happen. Using those visions of the future in battle sounds like it could be very useful.

This Game Awards Teaser Just Keeps Getting More And More Puzzling

15 hours 55 min ago

The Game Awards are coming up soon, and now host and organizer Geoff Keighley is hyping the event with some kind of real-world teaser campaign for something people believe is connected to Diablo. Others do not believe it is connected to Diablo. Some think it's for the next God of War game. Still others think it could be for The Elder Scrolls 6. All of these suggestions may be wrong, however.

On November 28, Keighley posted the tex "regal.inspiring.thickness" along with an image of some kind of huge carving featuring humanoid people in the middle of a desert. On November 29, Keighley followed up with a Google Maps image showing the location of the marketing monolith in the California desert. People quickly found the spot and posted images and video, including the ones below. Then on December 5, Keighley posted yet another teaser, this one also very puzzling.

Here's the message: "The █████ are silent. █████ bleeds. New █████ stir."

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's Ending Does Samus Dirty (Spoilers)

16 hours 52 min ago

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is intended as both a continuation and a new start for the long dormant franchise. Though Nintendo has never quite said it overtly, it has seemed likely that this is meant to launch a new series of Prime games--possibly even a second trilogy, for the sake of dramatic rhyme. And the ending of Prime 4 accents that feeling, leaving the door wide open for more story--but in the process, diminishing the character of protagonist Samus Aran.

Spoilers for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond follow.

As many eager Metroid fans know from preview coverage and reviews, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond features a wide cast of Federation characters, who have been stranded on Viewros with Samus. As you explore the corners of Sol Valley you eventually meet five in total: engineer Myles MacKenzie, sniper Reger Tokabi, Sergeant Ezra Duke, Private Nora Armstrong, and mech unit VUE-995. Each talks with Samus and relates to her in different ways. Myles is out of his element and needs Samus' rescue. Armstrong is a bona fide Samus superfan. Tokabi opens up to her about his religion and upbringing.

A $5 Million Gift From Sega Saved Nvidia

17 hours 13 min ago

Nvidia today is the world's most valuable company with a market cap of more than $4 trillion, thanks in large part to the AI boom of the past few years. But Nvidia's success was far from guaranteed.

CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang recalled recently how a $5 million gift following a failed business deal with Sega gave the company the lifeline it needed at the time, allowing the fledgling company to stay in business and eventually become what it is today.

Appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Huang talked about how, back in the 1990s, he and his two co-founders were trying to drum up business for their start-up PC company. They traveled to Japan and pitched Sega management on the idea that Nvidia could build the company's Dreamcast console.

Postal: Bullet Paradise Canceled Almost Immediately After Reveal, With AI Allegations To Blame

17 hours 15 min ago

Earlier this week, Running With Scissors unveiled a new look at Postal: Bullet Paradise, a Postal spin-off developed by Goonswarm Games as a Vampire Survivors-like shooter. However, fan backlash against the alleged AI elements in Bullet Paradise have led Running With Scissors to cancel the game entirely.

"After revealing Postal: Bullet Paradise, a title Running With Scissors was planning on publishing--but not developing--we've been overwhelmed with negative responses from our concerned Postal Community," said Running With Scissors founder Vince Desi in a statement. "The strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation."

Desi noted that Running With Scissors has lost trust in Goonswarm Games, which is why the project has now been killed. Subsequently, Goonswarm Games issued a statement to PC GamesN in which the studio denies using AI in either the game or the trailer shown above.

GTA 6 Dev Announces $60 Candle That Smells Like Vice City

17 hours 41 min ago

While the gaming world eagerly awaits the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2026, Rockstar Games has announced a variety of new themed products for the holidays, including a $60 candle that smells like "Vice." This is likely a reference to Vice City, the setting of 2002's GTA: Vice City and next year's GTA 6.

Developed in collaboration with Joya Studios, the Vice candle comes in a frosted white glass with the Rockstar Games logo and has notes of lemon California, yerba mate, thyme, fig leaf, petitgrain, orange oil, and terpenes. Your nose may also notice notes of tuberose, mimosa, jasmine petals, lily, lotus, cyclamen, wild grass, and raspberry blossom. Beyond those, the candle also contains notes of Texas Cedarwood, galbanum, and smoked patchouli.

All the new Rockstar products for the holidays.

There is also a "Liberty" candle that comes in a frosted black glass with notes of blood orange, black pepper, green cardamom, cedar, and clove leaves. The burn time for these candles is about 65 hours, Rockstar said, or just under $1 per hour if you want to look at it that way.

No Switch 2? Good News, Metroid Prime 4 Runs Pretty Well On Switch 1

17 hours 57 min ago

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond isn't a Switch 2 exclusive, but how it would run on the OG Switch has remained a mystery through its entire announcement and preview cycle. The preview coverage has consistently been running on Switch 2, and review codes were for the Switch 2 Edition, so many reviews including ours evaluated that version. Now that the game is out, though, we can put any lingering concerns to rest: The game plays smoothly on the original Switch.

For the purposes of this look at the game I replayed through the first two major sections: the tutorial mission with the assault on the Galactic Federation, and then the Fury Green portion on Viewros where Samus first starts to unlock her psychic abilities. Predictably, the Switch 1 version looks noticeably lower-quality than its Switch 2 counterpart, with less-detailed textures and lighting effects. It still looks decent, though, and compares favorably to the Metroid Prime Remaster that was released on Switch in 2023. Just know that you shouldn't go in expecting it to look quite as nice as the official trailers or other footage captured on a Switch 2.

Its performance, on the other hand, is very good. It doesn't offer a Quality or Performance mode selection like it does on Switch 2, but the default settings run well, without noticeable framerate dips. Switch fans who have watched recent Nintendo games outpace the hardware's limitations, especially in the cases of some recent Pokemon and Zelda titles, can be assured that isn't the case here. In my limited testing, I didn't run into any hitches, and felt the smooth performance was roughly on par with my review experience on Switch 2. It's possible, of course, that later portions may overwhelm the system, but I haven't had any cause for concern so far.

Don’t Expect Rainbow Six Siege 2--Creative Director Explains Why It's Not Happening Yet

18 hours 6 min ago

Rainbow Six Siege celebrated its 10th anniversary this month, a milestone that many live-service games haven't come close to matching. The tactical shooter launched in 2015, and it has evolved into a major attraction at esports tournaments across the globe, reaching 85 million players to date. To keep things fresh, Rainbow Six Siege's "most transformative" update yet went live earlier this year, prompting a surge of new and veteran players to hop into the game.

But will we ever see Rainbow Six Siege 2? Speaking to GameSpot, creative director Alexander Karpazis doesn't expect a sequel anytime soon, as Ubisoft aims to respect players' investment and keep the current game going for the foreseeable future.

"Honestly, I think there are tons of reasons against it, just like there are reasons for it," Karpazis said. "But for us, it's about maintaining something that has been successful and competitive and fun for such a long time. We see it where players kind of get the rug pulled out from under them, and everything they've worked towards kind of changes in an instant when they jump over to a sequel. And that's something we don't want to do to our players. So there's an element of respecting players' investment. There's also an element of, this is an amazing legacy we're building--why would we want to throw that away?"

How Dave The Diver's New DLC Uses A Dash Of Animal Crossing To Shake Things Up

18 hours 23 min ago

Dave the Diver is a modest game that has expanded like Dave's belt size. The underwater adventure and restaurant management sim mash-up was a surprise hit, and has since spawned crossover efforts with fishing game Dredge, the kaiju Godzilla, and even Ichiban Kasuga of the Like A Dragon series. Now the game is preparing to dive back in with the In The Jungle expansion in early 2026. The DLC will see Dave and his crew heading to a new freshwater biome and catching lake-dwelling creatures to make their dishes. GameSpot spoke with Mintrocket CEO and Dave the Diver game director Jaeho Hwang about the upcoming expansion, how the studio has responded to the game's success, and the delicious research that goes into making a game all about food.

GameSpot: What was the genesis of the "In the Jungle" concept? What was the team trying to achieve with this new biome?

Jaeho Hwang: In Dave the Diver, we felt we had done a fair job showcasing the mystique of the ocean, so we wanted to explore a completely different world this time.

Fallout: New Vegas Dev Obsidian Visits Fallout Season 2 Set

18 hours 38 min ago

New Vegas will play a prominent role in Fallout Season 2, which will premiere later this month on Prime Video. So it's fitting that the developers behind Fallout: New Vegas, Obsidian Entertainment, got to visit the TV show's set, according to Bethesda boss Todd Howard.

Speaking to PC Gamer, Howard revealed that he invited Obsidian to check out the New Vegas set for Fallout Season 2. "Huge respect to the folks at Obsidian," said Howard. "Had them out to the set to see this, and they've had just an incredible year, if you look at the year they've had." In 2025, Obsidian has launched not just Avowed, but The Outer Worlds 2 as well.

Bethesda Game Studios developed Fallout 3 and 4, with Howard directing both titles. But between those two games, Obsidian created the beloved Fallout: New Vegas while Bethesda made The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

20 Years Ago, Animal Crossing Finally Showed What It Could Be

19 hours 2 min ago

Animal Crossing: Wild World is celebrating its 20-year anniversary today, December 5, 2025. Below, we look at how its modest pathing system laid the groundwork, so to speak, for what the series has become.

Animal Crossing has always balanced two fantasies: the joy of customizing a cozy little town and the simple pleasures of living among a cast of charming, slightly strange animal neighbors. Those two elements worked in tandem. Your creative expression shaped your village, but the daily routines of chatting with neighbors, fishing by the riverbank, and uncovering little surprises gave the world its soul.

Somewhere along the way, however, customization did not just complement village life--it began to overshadow it. And if you trace that shift back through the franchises' history, the turning point can be found within 2005's Animal Crossing: Wild World.

New GTA 5 DLC Adds Michael -- "Daddy's Back B***hes," Actor Says

19 hours 5 min ago

Rockstar Games has announced more details on the next big update for GTA 5's multiplayer mode, including the long-awaited return of Michael De Santa.

Michael is one of GTA 5's three main playable characters, and fans have been waiting for a long time to interact with him again after the events of the main story. A GTA Online expansion from 2021 confirmed that Michael was still alive. In the soon-to-release A Safehouse in the Hills expansion, he's back--and he looks older. Take a look for yourself in the trailer below.

All the way back in 2013, Rockstar Games said it would release more story content that extended the stories of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. A previous DLC for GTA Online focused on Franklin, but plans for a Trevor-focused expansion were apparently canceled.

Tomb Raider TV Show Aims To "Reinvent" The Franchise

19 hours 17 min ago

The upcoming Tomb Raider TV series for Prime Video will be an "ambitious reimagining of the Lara Croft universe," according to the producers at Story Kitchen.

In a post on the production company's website first spotted by Infinity Tomb Raider, Story Kitchen said the series represents a "landmark partnership" between Story Kitchen and Amazon MGM Studios. Story Kitchen said this partnership will "reinvent the franchise on a massive scale."

The statement added that the aim is to have the live-action show and Tomb Raider video game franchise become interconnected "into a unified storytelling experience." This could mean a lot of things, but Amazon had previously said the TV show was not going to connect to Amazon's new Tomb Raider game.
