Tamriel beckons

The Elder Scrolls Online, the series' first foray into the MMO market, is heading to the PlayStation 4, Sony revealed during its E3 2013 keynote. The game, which sees you questing, journeying, and battling with friends and strangers alike, is set for a Spring 2014 release. The firm was also eager to announce a partnership with...

Afraid of the future

Wolfenstein: The New Order may essentially boil down to another first-person shooter with mechs, but at least developer Machine Games has gone out of its way to include some harrowing imagery in this E3 trailer. We’re not talking about the Nazi branded bombs or even the moon landing – but that terrifying alternate version of...

Reboot assaulting store shelves soon

Wolfenstein: The New Order will re-imagine id’s first-person classic on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 later this year. Bethesda teased the title overnight, but has now officially confirmed the shooter. The release is in development at MachineGames, a studio comprising of ex-Starbreeze veterans. "We are...

Supernova of horror

The Evil Within, Shinji Mikami’s macabre return to the forefront of survival horror, will take advantage of Bethesda’s proprietary id Tech 5 engine, according to information posted to the publisher’s Japanese website. The snippet – kindly translated by Gematsu – was accompanied by a slew of details about the game...

All you ever wanted, all you ever needed

Bethesda may have turned its attention away from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in favour of a more grotesque experience, but that’s not stopping the publisher from repackaging the title with all of its DLC.

Don't worry, it's just tomato sauce

Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami is returning to his roots on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 next year with The Evil Within. The title – which publisher Bethesda has been teasing for the past couple of days – was revealed on IGN mere moments ago, alongside a genuinely haunting li

Zwei to go

Hours after putting The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim out to pasture, Bethesda has launched a teaser for a new title. The publisher uploaded a mysterious video onto its Twitter account this afternoon, showing little more than barbed wire, a few books, and a vinyl record. Contrary to public opinion, though,

Fus ro dah

With hundreds of hours already on offer, Bethesda has ruled out the possibility of any further The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim content. Writing on its official blog, the company revealed that it's leaving behind the snowy peaks of Hrothgar in favour of its (hopefully warmer) next big adventure. "Skyrim has been a labour of love for us since...

New features added to open world epic

Bethesda will freshen up the PlayStation 3 version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PlayStation 3 later today, with the publisher confirming that the recently announced v1.9 update will deploy shortly.

New content unsheathed for stealth title

Bethesda’s brilliant stealth sandbox Dishonored will make a comeback in April, as the title explores the narrative of antagonist assassin Daud in a new expansion named ‘The Knife of Dunwall’. The add-on – which is apparently the first of two story-based expansions – will launch on 16th April in...

Delighted with the extra memory

One of the developers behind last year’s surprise hit Dishonored has described Sony’s next generation system as “a joy”. Chatting with Eurogamer.net directly after last week’s BAFTAs, lead level designer Christopher Carrier revealed that the PlayStation 4’s surprise inclusion o

Keep on slayin’

You have to give Bethesda credit for continuing to support The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for more than a year – and it seems like they have no intention of stopping just yet. The company has announced a brand new update for the open world epic, and it adds a couple of surprising new features. Firstly, a new ‘Legendary’...

Bloody good

Consider Dawnguard’s arrival on PlayStation 3 a late Hallowe’en present from Bethesda. The latest The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim expansion is full of vampires, creepy rituals, spooky old castles, and a lot of violence. There’s also a lot of epic questing thrown in for good measure, too. Just like Dragonborn, there’s an awful...

There are two sides to every story

Dishonored will get a second helping of post-release content named ‘The Other Side of the Coin’ shortly, if a new batch of leaked Trophies are to be believed. The digital trinkets – which popped up on PS3Trophies.org earlier today – point to the addition of new story content, evidenced by the reward...

Sitting beside the furnace

Hearthfire isn’t quite what you’d expect from a piece of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DLC. This doesn't offer an epic journey into the heart of an unknown land – it’s about expanding your experience through lovey-dovey stuff like making you and your spouse a new residence from scratch, or adopting children. In...

Back to the brink

After more than a year without DLC, the PlayStation 3 version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim finally gets some love from Bethesda. In this case, the latest Skyrim DLC to release on other platforms is the first on PS3 – and it’s arguably the best of the bunch. In an attempt to make up for the delay, Bethesda and Sony saw fit...

The first pack, Dragonborn, will arrive on 12th February, and will be followed by Hearthfire on 19th February and Dawnguard on 26th February. There’s no word on a European release just yet, but publisher...

Bethesda confirmed the glad tidings in a PlayStation Blog post, noting that Dragonborn, Hearthfire, and Dawnguard will all launch within the window, and will be accompanied by a 50 per cent discount to...
