In the 21 years since World of Warcraft launched, one feature has been asked about and requested above all others: player housing. Despite being the premier MMORPG for over two decades, housing in WoW has always felt like a pipedream. Now, that dream is finally a reality, as an early-access version of player housing is launching December 2 for those who preorder WoW's eleventh expansion, Midnight.
It's been a long time coming. Housing as a feature was experimented with in WoW's earliest...

Arc Raiders players recently discovered an exploit that allowed them to loot locked rooms without needing a keycard. Naturally, the exploit quickly became popular--and frustrating for players who didn't use it--leading Embark Studios to apply a "hot" fix to this part of the game. If you now decide to cheese your way into one of these treasure rooms, you can now expect a toasty reception inside.
Using a keycard to access one of these rooms ties into the high-risk, high-reward nature of Arc...

December 10 marks the fifth anniversary of Cyberpunk 2077, and developer CD Projekt is teasing something to mark the occasion. On its social media channels, the company posted a "Cyberpunk 2077 birthday and anniversary calendar" image alongside a cryptic message. "Secure comms channel established.

In 2022, Jennifer Hale was confirmed as the new voice of Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3, following the departure of the character's original voice actress, Hellena Taylor. The recasting of Taylor and the subsequent controversy dogged Hale during the production of that game, and it's an experience she didn't enjoy despite her love for the character.
During an interview with GAMINGbible, Hale indicated that she would "love to play Bayonetta again," but she wasn't happy about the situation she found...
Konami appears to be a little undecided on what to make next now that Metal Gear Solid Delta is out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Another remake isn't totally out of the realm of possibility, and neither is something wholly brand new, but series producer Noriaki Okamura said that if Konami were to do another remake, Metal Gear Solid 4 would be a "pretty hard" one to do.
Speaking to the Japanese website Real Sound (and machine translated by both Eurogamer and VGC), Okamura said...
It looks like Fortnite will borrow a feature from one of its competing battle royales, should recently surfaced leaks prove to be accurate. According to prominent Fortnite leaker Shiina, the Epic Games title is adding something very similar to the Gulag from Call of Duty: Warzone.

World of Warcraft is getting player housing on December 2, and Blizzard has now released a step-by-step guide on what players will need to do to claim and customize their forever home in Azeroth.
Like most things in WoW, it all begins with a quest. Players who have preordered the game's Midnight expansion and log in after the release of the MMORPG's 11.2.7 patch will automatically receive a quest that will lead them straight into the housing tutorial. If players somehow lose the tutorial...

The Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle is up for grabs for $449 (was $500) at Walmart for Cyber Monday. Discounts on Nintendo consoles are rare in general, but it's genuinely shocking to see a deal on the Switch 2 less than six months after launch. The $51 discount will show up after you add the bundle to your cart. Walmart is limiting customers to one console, which should help the bundle remain in stock longer.
One of the first accessories every new Switch 2 owner should buy is a...

Battlefield Studios has released an update on Battlefield 6's anticheat, now that we're one month into the popular shooter's first season. The statistics look highly impressive for the studio's campaign against cheaters, claiming that only 2% of total matches were likely to have been impacted by cheating.
Instead of reporting on anticheat by the number of cheaters caught or banned, Battlefield Studios uses a metric it calls "Match Infection Rate," or MIR, calculated around the likelihood...
Crossovers between rival movie studios are few and far between, but Fortnite just pulled off one for the ages. During the recent Zero Hour finale, Fortnite brought together Superman, Ironman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Power Rangers, Invincible, Street Fighter's Chun Li, Mortal Kombat's Scorpion and Sub Zero, and even a giant Homer Simpson for the final battle. Now, Epic Games co-founder Mark Rein is taking a bow and explaining how he helped make it happen.
In a post on X, Rein...
Everstone Studios' free-to-play action-adventure-RPG Where Winds Meet is a game that gives over many of its NPC conversations to chatbots. But these NPCs aren't necessarily smarter because they're AI. In fact, players have discovered some easy-to-exploit loopholes in the chat model that convinces NPCs to hand over their side-quest loot or money even when you haven't done anything at all.
Players on Reddit noticed that the AI-powered chatbot NPCs often put their emotional responses and...

Fortnite Chapter 7 has totally revamped the Battle Royale loot pool in the new season, and the new arsenal is mostly made up of weapons we've never had before. Likewise, Epic has added a few new types of items that have no real precedent in Fortnite, and some of them are exceptionally powerful.
But for this story, the biggest new addition is the boss kits, which drop when you defeat an NPC boss. These kits are locked in your inventory until you win the round or die, make you look like the...
