News Bethesda's Busy Making a AAA Free-to-Play Game
E3 awaits
Bethesda Game Studios - the outfit behind the modern Fallout games and The Elder Scrolls series - is currently working on a "AAA" free-to-play title, according to a recently posted job listing. We also know that the company is crafting a mobile game, but this seems to be for a different project entirely. Obviously, this raises the key...
News Prepare For Much Backstabbing in The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind
Daggers in the night
The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind promises a politically-charged plotline as the region's most powerful houses attempt to seize control. That means we can probably expect assassination attempts and other events that shift the balance. Like the main game, we imagine that there'll be plenty of room for player choice when it...
Would Yu kindly?
2017 has been a magical year for games thus far. The first few months were crammed with more amazing titles than we’ve seen in entire years before. But this hot streak must end sometime, right? Well, Arkane Studios – specifically, the company's second studio in Texas – has ensured it's not the ones to end this streak, as...
Round Up PREY PS4 Reviews Are a Real BioShock
Arkane at it again
The first batch of PREY reviews are in, and they’re overwhelmingly positive. Bethesda obviously maintained its policy of not sending out review code until launch day – actually, we got it 24 hours earlier, but still not quick enough to bring you our verdict just yet – but that hasn’t stopped a handful of sites from zipping...
News PREY Amps Up the Volume in PS4 Launch Trailer
Fight the invasion
PREY may share a lot in common with BioShock, but you’d think it’s more akin to DOOM if you just watched this launch trailer. Bethesda clearly feels that the best way to sell its new first-person shooter is by turning up the volume, and so there’s just under 120 seconds of unadulterated action on display here. Are you...
News In Case You Missed It, Skyrim's Glorious Soundtrack Is Now on Spotify
Shout it louder
Apparently this happened back in March, but it totally passed us by - and as such, it seems like the perfect news story for an especially slow Sunday. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's soundtrack is now available on Spotify - the streaming music service that you can download on PlayStation 4. If you're not sure how to steam Spotify on...

Pray for PREY
A quick heads-up for those out of the loop: PREY's demo is out now on the PlayStation 4 – in Europe at least. The opening hour is still planned for release in North America, but it looks like Bethesda has hit a snag that it's trying to rectify as we type. Hopefully that'll be sorted over the next few hours. Still, for those of you...
News The Warden Brings a Bloody Big Bear to Battle in The Elder Scrolls Online's New Trailer
That's roar like it
The Warden is The Elder Scrolls Online's first additional player class, and the range of abilities that they offer should make them an interesting choice in terms of gameplay. Of course, the headline act here is that they're able to summon a bunch of different beasts to aid them in combat, so expect to see Morrowind flooded with...
News Play the Opening Hour of PREY Free Before It Launches on PS4
No strings
There's an argument that PREY is flying a little too fancifully under-the-radar – especially seeing as it looks like the new-gen BioShock we've all been twiddling our thumbs waiting for. The best way to rectify that problem is by letting people play the game, however, and thus you can look forward to testing out the opening hour for...
News Bethesda Nails Down a Date For Its E3 2017 Press Conference
The wildcard
Bethesda's returning for its third E3 press conference this summer, and given that we know fairly little about the publisher's future plans, it's safe to say that we're reasonably excited. If you're of a similar mind, then you'll be happy to learn that the company's nailed down a date for its show: Sunday 11th June. For those not...

News Take Control of a Toilet Roll in Prey on PS4
Cushelle then
Our very own Ben Tarrant wrote a brilliant hands on piece for Prey a week or so ago, outlining all of the systems you can expect to find in the final game. But for as good as his write-up was, he probably only needed one sentence: you can transform into a toilet roll. Sold.

Knife to see you again
Stealth. Games that do it really well don't come along all that often, with most choosing merely to dabble their toes in the murky waters where a knife in the dark is king.

Soapbox Skyrim Still Has Plenty to Offer Five Years On
Jacob Hull still loves Tamriel's Northern realm
Along with many, I'm of the opinion that CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best – if not the best – open world role-playing game ever made. I mean, we gave it a rare 10/10 here on Push Square, after all. It improved the open world template in so many ways that make the genre...
