The secret entrance in Peak is one of the game's biggest current mysteries. Introduced with the Mesa update in August, the secret entrance leads to the Tomb, a hidden area found deep underground of the namesake biome.

The catch is that the secret entrance is not only hard to find, but there's no guarantee that you'll see it every day, due to the daily map rotation. If you're wondering where to find the secret entrance in Peak and when it opens, we've got you covered.

Note: This post includes story spoilers for Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate. We recommend you finish the campaign before reading this article.

Destiny 2 often uses expansions to introduce new characters and build out their stories. With The Edge of Fate, the first chapter of the new story arc Bungie calls the Fate Saga, the developer introduced a very new, very different kind of character, named Lodi. Your main point of contact in the expansion's destination, Kepler, Lodi has a deep, strange backstory that introduces a whole lot of new elements to the game's story and lore.

Lodi, it turns out, is a time traveler, kidnapped from his place in the distant past of the 1960s and flung through centuries as part of an unknown agenda. That makes him a different kind of character than Destiny 2 usually sees--his frame of reference is a lot closer to the people playing the game than the immortal Guardians who populate it. He's also much more of a "regular guy" than any of the characters the game has told stories about up to now, and that makes him something of an interesting anomaly in Destiny 2's world.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Destiny 2's latest expansion, The Edge of Fate. We recommend you complete its story campaign before reading further.

Destiny 2's 2024 expansion, The Final Shape, was the conclusion of stories the game and its predecessor had been telling for 10 years--which means that its newest chapter, The Edge of Fate, is setting out on a new course. That puts The Edge of Fate in uncharted waters (or maybe uncharted space) as it lays the groundwork for a new story, and determines the direction Destiny will head for the foreseeable future.

And a lot has changed with The Edge of Fate. The expansion takes players to Kepler, a new planetoid, with a story that hinges on the Nine--powerful interdimensional entities tied to the planets of the solar system. The Nine have been string-pulling entities existing mostly in the background of Destiny 2 for its entire run, but with The Edge of Fate, they're putting fingers on the scales and driving the narrative in the most direct way ever.

Getting the 24 Karat Badge achievement in Peak is one of the most elusive tasks currently in the game. If you're hunting for new badges, you might have noticed that this is literally the bottom of the achievements earned percentage globally.

But don't fret, as we'll explain how to get the 24 Karat Badge in Peak and what the worthy sacrifice is.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a tremendous revival of the franchise, with weighty, tactical ninja combat and a gorgeous visual overhaul from developer Lizardcube. However, the game also launched with some bugs, and one in particular is hard-locking players who felt the need to explore.

Within the first few hours of Art of Vengeance, you'll have the opportunity to go to a stage called Neo City. The mission is a little bit more open-ended than the past stages, and sees you rescuing three kidnapped children from different areas of the map. Once you have rescued all three, you'll find them gathered near the center of the map, where they gift you a grappling hook for reaching distant areas.

And this is where I'd use the grappling point ... IF I HAD ONE!

You've almost certainly seen the grappling points in other areas of the game--including Neo City--by this point, but do not go look for them. Instead, grapple to the point that lowers down from the ceiling in the same room as the rescued kids. If you don't do this and instead go elsewhere, the grappling point above the kids will disappear, and it will not return--even if you completely leave the stage and come back.

It's the end of the road for two 2K Sports titles, at least for their online services. The publisher has announced that the servers for two aging golf games--The Golf Club 2019 featuring PGA Tour and PGA Tour 2K21--will go offline on October 30, 2025.

As of August 30, however, 2K Sports removed the ability to purchase any virtual currency for either game. Beyond that, however, the publisher said players "won't see any effect."

On October 30, 2K will close the servers for both titles, meaning each game's store, along with all online game modes and functionality--including progression rewards--will no longer be available.

There could be new content added to the Final Fantasy Tactics remake--and even a full-fledged sequel somewhere down the line--but that will require fans putting money where their mouths are with Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. However, that's not a guarantee.

Speaking with Wired, game director Kazutoyo Maehiro discussed possibly adding features from 2007's Final Fantasy Chronicles: War of the Lions release on PlayStation Portable to the remake. “Our first and foremost goal here really was to recreate the original game,” said Maehiro. He acknowledged fan feedback for that content, such as the Onion Knight and Black Knight classes, but "cannot make any promises" about them coming eventually to The Ivalice Chronicles.

The remake will introduce a new difficulty option called Squire, which is aimed at helping newcomers to the spinoff series and genre. In addition, The Ivalice Chronicles does utilize the script from War of the Lions for the classic version included with the remake. As for a proper sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics, that will depend on the game's reception and sales.

Perfect Dark, canceled in July amidst a wave of layoffs at Microsoft, almost got a second chance at life thanks to Take-Two, according to a new report. However, talks to see the game be revived have apparently fallen through.

According to Bloomberg (and corroborated by VGC), Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics, which was working with the now shuttered Xbox studio The Initiative to develop the Perfect Dark reboot, could have continued working on the game. Crystal Dynamics' parent company, the Embracer Group, had spent the last two months since its cancellation looking for a publisher, and most recently had looked to strike a deal with publisher Take-Two to purchase the game from Microsoft.

The report states that the deal for Take-Two to take over the funding and publishing of Perfect Dark fell apart at least partially because all the parties involved were not able to come to terms over who would have long-term ownership of the Perfect Dark franchise, which currently still resides with Microsoft. Crystal Dynamics laid off an unspecified number of staff last week as a result of the deal with Take-Two collapsing, according to Bloomberg.

Battlefield 6 won't have ray tracing, as the team instead is focusing on performance and optimization, according to the game's technical director.

In an interview with ComicBook, Ripple Effect (one of the studios that comprises Battlefield Studios) technical director Christian Buhl said it doesn't have plans for ray tracing at launch or in the near future.

"That was because we wanted to focus on performance," Buhl said. "We wanted to make sure that all of our effort was focused on making the game as [optimized] as possible for the default settings and default users."

If you rolled credits on Donkey Kong Bananza, chances are you got through it with little frustration and extraneous effort. By many accounts, bosses take seconds to plow through, mining gold is seemingly unlimited, and overall the game is "too easy." But the phrasing is somewhat reductive, not just in relation to Bananza, but when discussing difficulty in games as a whole.

The stigma of "too easy" might indicate that a game is hand-holdy, not trusting players to act or think for themselves. Or, it's boring and monotonous, lacking in mechanical complexity and resulting in little satisfaction from overcoming obstacles.

Loosely characterizing Donkey Kong Bananza in this manner misses the point of what makes the game so enjoyable to play. Bananza is a breeze for players because it's built on a framework that is versatile and complex yet accessible and intuitive. By giving you all the tools you need to succeed in Bananza's vast sandbox, Nintendo made a game that feels effortless to punch your way through. If you think the game is easy, then it's doing its job correctly--Nintendo wants it to feel easy.

World of Warcraft developer Blizzard has taken aim at one of the biggest WoW private servers, suing its creators for alleged copyright infringement and citing recent efforts to "cannibalize and disrupt Blizzard's WoW player community."

The server in question is Turtle WoW, an ambitious private-server version of 2006-era WoW that has been active since 2018 and features fan-made expansions, additional playable races and classes, and new zones. Turtle WoW's creators recently made waves when it announced Turtle WoW 2.0, which aims to remake its version of the original, "vanilla" WoW in Unreal Engine 5. According to a Turtle WoW social media post, one of its most recent server launches hit 13,000 concurrent players.

Blizzard's lawsuit, filed in California on August 29, alleges the creators of Turtle WoW have created "an entire business on large-scale, egregious, and ongoing infringement of Blizzard's intellectual property." While Turtle WoW is technically free, it does feature an in-game shop where players can donate to the developers in exchange for premium currency.

Gameplay footage of what appears to be Battlefield's new battle royale has surfaced online in an apparent leak, highlighting some features that could distinguish it from the competition.

About nine minutes of footage, watermarked by a Bilibili user called Misaka_Mikoto_01, shows what looks like an early build of the Battlefield battle royale. The build could be from the latest Battlefield Labs test, which began late last week. The beginning of the video includes the loading screen and loadout menu before the player airdrops onto the battle royale's massive map.

The footage shows buildings and other geometric elements popping in. The player also swims in water and later takes out a sledgehammer to demolish the walls of a bathroom in classic Battlefield fashion. Each wall took about two sledgehammer swings before completely coming down. Grenades, ziplines, and a ladder gadget are also used in the leaked footage.
