Deadzone: Rogue is a roguelite first-person shooter set in deep space. Slay hordes of enemies, loot powerful gear, and customize your loadout during each unique run. Uncover fragments of your past as you piece together the truth behind your mission.

At the start of Oblivion Remastered, you might find yourself wanting a place to lay your head or store your precious belongings. Whether you need to level up your character or take some of the load off your inventory, having a dedicated location to call your own is one of the best things you can do in the early part of your journey in Cyrodiil.

While you'll eventually have the chance to buy a house in Oblivion Remastered, why not forgo the cost of that and simply acquire a free castle instead? Below, you can see how to do just that.

How to acquire Battlehorn Castle in Oblivion Remastered

Battlehorn Castle is at the very end of the Black Road on the western side of Cyrodiil. You can find it just beyond the city of Chorrol, which isn't a bad place to visit during the early hours of the game.

Star Wars Day is almost here, and to celebrate the May 4 event, GOG has revealed a new batch of games from a galaxy far (far!) away that have been added to its preservation program. Like other entries in this library, each of these Star Wars games have been fine-tuned to run as smoothly as possible on modern PC systems, and they've received a significant 75% discount as well. Here's a closer look at the games have joined GOG's preservation efforts:

• Star Wars: Dark Forces (Classic) -- $1.49 ($6)
• Star Wars: X-Wing Special Edition -- $2.49 ($10)
• Star Wars: TIE Fighter Special Edition -- $2.49 ($10)
• Star Wars: Battlefront (Classic) -- $2.49 ($10)
• Star Wars: Rebel Assault 1 + 2 -- $2.49 ($10)

This is a fairly solid selection of Star Wars classics covering the original trilogy of films mostly. The X-Wing and TIE Fighter games were big hits when they were first released, as they allowed fans to experience both sides of the galactic conflict from inside several iconic starfighters, and the Rebel Assault games were must-have games for anyone looking to flex their newly acquired CD-ROM drive in the early '90s.

The only real oddity here is Dark Forces, as this FPS adventure was recently remastered by Nightdive Studios. That version features upgraded gameplay, high-resolution textures, and support for gamepads, but it is more expensive in comparison even with a 45% discount applied to it. It is the better way to experience Dark Forces thanks to all of the modern flourishes, but if you're a purist, you can get the original game for the price of a cup of coffee.

In the wake of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launching day on on Game Pass recently, some wondered if the game's 1 million sales figure could have been even higher had it not launched into the subscription service. This is not a new debate, as people have been discussing the economical merits of Game Pass for years, but Expedition 33 (and Oblivion Remastered) coming to Game Pass recently reignited the chatter.

Palworld communications and publishing boss John "Bucky" Buckley weighed in on social media, writing that Expedition 33 is just the latest game to be "unwittingly dragged" through online discussions about Game Pass. Buckley said he has more knowledge than most on this topic given Palworld launched day one into Game Pass back in 2024 to great success.

"I'll just say yes, yes it is very worth having your game on Game Pass," he said.

$23 (was $27) | Releases July 8

Preorder at Walmart Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Amazon (Standard) Preorder at Walmart (Standard)

A classic Studio Ghibli movie will be back in print this summer. Shout Factory is releasing a Limited Edition Steelbook Blu-ray of Grave of the Fireflies on July 8. Unlike many Ghibli movies, the 1989 film directed by Isao Takahata isn't exactly suitable for the whole family. Rated PG-13 due to blood and gore, this dark journey is set during the final days of World War II in Japan. Grave of the Fireflies Limited Edition Steelbook is up for preorder for only $23 at Walmart.

Grave of the Fireflies: Limited Edition Steelbook (Blu-ray) $23 (was $27) | Releases July 8

For the extras, this 1080p Blu-ray version of the film comes with a deep dive into its storyboards, a look at several deleted scenes that were only produced as storyboards, image galleries, a collection of trailers, an interview with director Isao Takahata, and an interview with the late film critic Roger Ebert.

Preorders at Walmart are available for $23, four bucks less than retail price for Ghibli Blu-ray Steelbooks. Amazon has a listing for Grave of the Fireflies but hasn't opened preorders yet for the Steelbook Edition.

Grave of the Fireflies is also receiving a new standard edition Blu-ray with a plastic case and cardboard sleeve. At the moment, however, standard edition preorders are $25 at Amazon and Walmart, so you're better off grabbing the Steelbook Edition.

While films produced by Studio Ghibli regularly focus on fantasy and contain environmentalism themes, Grave of the Fireflies is one of the rare exceptions here as it is based on the personal accounts of World War II survivor Akiyuka Nosaka. Grave of the Fireflies centers around 14-year-old Seita and and his four-year-old sister Setsuko, war orphans struggling to survive in the Japanese countryside food shortages, abusive relatives, and bombing raids by the Allied forces.

The film pulls no punches with its subject matter, but it's still an all-time animated classic with a strong message at its core and fleeting moments of happiness during this bleak story. Just be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster with this movie.

Overwatch 2 is back with another anime crossover, and this time it's one that is sure to be nostalgic for anime fans who grew up in the early 2000s: Gundam Wing.

For those who watched anime on Cartoon Network's Toonami block back in the day, Gundam Wing was likely their first exposure to the sprawling mecha franchise. Despite middling ratings and reception when it originally aired in Japan, the anime found new life in North America several years later thanks to its after-school time slot. The show, with its dramatic mech-on-mech action and even more dramatic sci-fi melodrama, almost single-handedly established a foothold for the entire Gundam universe in the West. In the process, it created an entirely new generation of Gundam fans eager for more, helping to bring more Gundam shows overseas and creating a new market for the franchise's popular Gunpla plastic model kits.

Flash forward to 2025, and Gundam Wing is celebrating its 30th anniversary in a number of ways, among them crossing over with Blizzard's free-to-play shooter with four premium skins that pay homage to some of the show's most popular Mobile Suit designs. Mercy takes on the starring role as Gundam Wing Zero, while Soldier: 76 transforms into the iconic Tallgeese piloted in the show by the masked Zechs Merquise. Ramattra, meanwhile, transforms into the fearsome Gundam Epyon. And, of course, Overwatch's designated edgelord himself, Reaper, adopts the mantle of none other than Gundam Deathscythe.

"We are disabling them until further notice while reworking them," Blizzard said.

Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't launch until June 5. The same goes for the paid Switch 2 Edition upgrade for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But neither of those obstacles has stopped a Japanese content creator from beating the game at a preview event in Tokyo.

Spotted by VGC, Ikaboze posted a video on YouTube showing how they completed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch 2 in roughly seven minutes. The demo reportedly had a 10-minute timer with multiple save files available. Ikaboze apparently has a speedrunning background and put those skills to good use to hit the game's credits. The content creator claimed that the event's staff revealed this was the first time anyone has beaten the demo.

Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 Editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom earlier this month. Both games will feature improved frame rates and resolutions, HDR support, and new Zelda Notes functionality through the Switch app. Current owners of the Switch versions can upgrade for the upcoming system by paying $10; otherwise, the Switch 2 Edition costs $70 and doesn't include DLC for Breath of the Wild. Other titles receiving similar enhancements include Metroid Prime 4: Beyond as well as Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Meta is laying off over 100 employees from its Reality Labs division, which focuses on VR, AR, and wearable hardware, an unnamed source recently revealed.

The layoff has primarily impacted Reality Labs employees who were working on VR software for the company's line of Meta Quest headsets, along with employees who were focused on hardware, (including VR headsets), the source shared with Bloomberg.

According to the source--who asked not to be named due to the fact that they were sharing details that had not yet been made available to the public--Meta's goal is to combine and streamline tasks being worked on by the two teams within Reality Labs. In June 2024, it was reported that Reality Labs had lost nearly $50 billion over the course of the previous four years.

A Minecraft Movie has dominated the box office since arriving on April 4, surpassing $800 million globally. It’s also spawned a bunch of official toys and merchandise, including two new Lego sets, The Ghast Balloon Village Attack and Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring. Both look like fun playsets for younger fans, though the latter lets you piece together the cultural phenomenon that is Chicken Jockey.

In addition to these new Minecraft Movie sets, Lego also launched two other Minecraft sets earlier this year, adding even more kits to the long list of Minecraft Lego releases. Here’s a closer look the all four new Minecraft Lego sets if you’re hoping to bring a bit of the blocky action to your home.
