All eyes will be on the publisher for word of Elden Ring, the much-hyped collaboration between Souls developer FromSoftware and Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin. Reports swirled earlier this year of a proper look at Elden Ring being imminent - though for whatever reason, this never ended up coming to pass. Elsewhere on E3 2021’s now-finalised schedule, Borderlands developer Gearbox has a slot on Saturday at 10pm UK time....

Whether you start with the Samurai as a class, or decide to respec your character into it, note that Elden Ring’s open-ended nature encourages experimentation, so don’t be afraid to be selective with what you take from this page. Either way - we explain some of the best Samurai build weapons, Samurai build armor and Samurai build stats that we’ve found particularly useful. On this page: Looking for some direction?...

Highlights included our first look at Starfield gameplay, the mysterious Cocoon, the weird High On Life and Obsidian’s new narrative adventure, Pentiment. Oh, and there was the small matter of Hideo Kojima making an Xbox exclusive. In case you missed anything, here’s everything announced in Microsoft and Bethesda’s Games Showcase. Sit back, relax and enjoy catching up on all the reveals. The show kicked off with a decent look at a recently-delayed first-party game: Arkane’s Redfall....

The mid-season update for both shooters adds several new maps, modes and features for Black Ops Cold War, as well as two new operators, and the new ZRG 20mm sniper rifle. This all goes live following updates to Black Ops Cold War at 5am UK time tomorrow, 30th March, and to Warzone at 7am UK time on Wednesday 31st March. As Black Ops Cold War developer Treyarch has already revealed, new 6v6 map Miami Strike launches as part of Season Two Reloaded....

Acting partly as collectibles and partly as rewards for completing certain side-objectives and story missions, these are unique weapons which come with powerful perks. Since you can pick these up as soon as the game allows you to start exploring, they are a great way to load up your arsenal without having to mess around with workbenches. Instead of an exhaustive list of every weapon, we’ve run down our favourites that we’ve uncovered across the game - from our best early game weapon recommendations to those which will take a little more time, but will be definitely worth the effort....

Unconfirmed direct messages appear to show a company employee selling Icon cards in packages priced 750-1000 euros. In one WhatsApp message, three Prime Icon Moments cards are offered for 1700 euros. Icon cards are among the most sought after in FIFA Ultimate Team. They include legendary players such as Brazilian Ronaldo, Pele, Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane and Ruud Gullit, and are near impossible to obtain through the mode’s controversial loot boxes....

First are the delayed Magitek Exosuits, which are free costumes no longer fashioned similar to Power Rangers outfits that give you a timed period of invincibility. There’s also a new Cross Chain combat mechanic, both of which are perfect testing grounds for the new Hunter HQ quest O Partner, My Partner, which pits you against a powerful adversary. All three are available to try almost immediately, provided you have played through enough of the game....

To tick upgrades off the list, you’ll have to pay visits to Cindy over at Hammerhead, who has a questline for upgrades to pimp your ride with improved fuel consumption, a higher top speed, and a set of headlights that will prevent daemon attacks when driving at night. Recommended level: 7 Kick the quests off by interacting with the metal bar near the gas pumps in Hammerhead. Cindy will ask you to fetch a pot of wax, so head for the marker and make your way into the tunnel....

Once you’ve downloaded Black Ops Cold War’s latest update, which prepares the game for the mid-season three refresh, you can see McClane as a “coming soon” operator. I’m not sure what I was expecting! Call of Duty’s McClane looks a lot like McClane from the first Die Hard film, which is what you want, really. We’ve already seen Rambo in action, but we may as well have a look at his in-game model, too....

Vietnam, which is part of the New Frontier Pass due out 28th January, is led by Bà Triệu, also known as Triệu Thị Trinh or Lady Triệu. Bà Triệu fought against the occupation of northern Vietnam by the Wu Kingdom in the early 200s AD. Vietnam’s unique ability is Nine Dragon River Delta, which makes all land speciality districts only buildable on rainforest, marsh or woods tiles. Buildings on each type of tile receive either additional science, production or culture....

After watching a 15 minute, hands-off presentation last week, I can also confirm that Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is most definitely a Soulslike action RPG too. However, this ‘magic meets gunpowder technology’ fantasy title seems to be a little braver than other games in the genre as it’s not afraid to be releasing with optional difficulty settings. This means anyone who wants to experience Flintlock without fear of being punished by some very intense action will be able to tailor the experience to suit their skill level....

With the first challenge asking you to investigate mysterious claw marks, this one asks you to visit one of the four Quinjets that land on the Fortnite map at the beginning of every match.

Fighting in a Sideways encounter will help you collect using loot, like the Sideways weapons, and complete a number of challenges in the quest punchcards. First, however, you need to know how to find the Sideways anomaly locations. Below you’ll discover how to complete a Sideways encounter now that they’re no longer disabled from the game. Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What’s new? Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived!...

This challenge is classified as a Resistance challenge, which means it’s part of Season 2’s storyline and requires you to find a beacon in either Condo Canyon, Coney Crossroads or the Daily Bugle to start. Completing it will reward you with 23k XP, which will help you unlock some new skins from the Battle Pass, but, first, you need to know the Battle Bus Plans locations. On this page: The first set of Battle Bus Plans can be found in the small plaza in the southern side of Condo Canyon....

In recent weeks of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, we’ve seen characters disappearing - and it appears to be tying into the new Paradise theme which, unfortunately, appears more sinister than it sounds. Here’s when Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 starts and what we expect to appear. On this page: Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 release time Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 has a release date of Sunday, 18th September....

Documents obtained by GameSpot reveal Brandon Despotakis, or BlazeFN as they are known online, violated the Fortnite end user license agreement and its terms of service, and infringed Epic’s copyright by unlawfully selling in-game accounts and cheats to other Fortnite players. These included “aimbots, limited-time ‘Full Access V-Bucks accounts’ and ‘inactive’ accounts that included rare or popular skins and pre-completed battle passes, among other illegal offerings”. Reportedly, BlazeFN also used artwork that looked remarkably like that of Epic’s own within their illegal shop....

New additions include Reality Seeds and Saplings and riding animals, along with the new Battle Pass, characters collection and map changes....

The leak contains audio files including dialogue, as well as assets and artwork, and appears to have come from someone able to bypass Epic Games’ own in-game encryption for these files. Eurogamer will not be spoiling any details of the event itself ahead of time. Fortnite leaks are a daily occurence, though the suggestion that someone with access to Epic Games’ encrypted files for the event will be worrying for the developer....

This involves a series of challenges with the company of Beast Boy and Armored Batman. Below you’ll find how to unlock Superman in Fortnite as well as his two Shadow forms, along with a complete list of all the Superman cosmetic items you can obtain....

Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One serves as a prequel to Frogwares’ earlier Sherlock Holmes adventures, taking players back to Sherlock’s days as a fresh-faced 21-year-old, and the investigation that would lead to a life of sleuthing. Arriving on the sunny, Mediterranean-inspired island of Cordona - a deliberate aesthetic departure from the fog-shrouded London streets and rural corners of previous games in the series - Sherlock, with help from best friend Jon, begins inquiring into the death of his mother, kickstarting Frogwares’ latest third-person, open-world investigation....
