Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies needs to make one small but impactful change to high-round gameplay in Citadelle des Morts. Black Ops 6 may be about to welcome its fifth map to its already impressive roster, but fans are still calling for a fix to the title’s first post-launch DLC. Citadelle des Morts is seen by many to be the best Zombies map in recent history, but there is one small issue that tends to really frustrate fans when they get to high rounds. Citadelle des Morts Needs to Fix Helmet Zombies Call of Duty Zombies fans are…

PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton’s shooter that wise people have previously pointed out should really go all in and call itself Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds, has a new mode. It’s all about teaming up to battle an army of invading alien robots whose talents seemingly don’t lie in inventive naming – their mothership’s called the Mothership and the architect of their invasion of Miramar is called the Architect.

When Meta rebranded from Facebook two years ago, the word “metaverse” went mainstream. Even people outside the tech world wondered if we would soon start to socialize via virtual reality headsets. But at least according to public opinion and the stock market, the metaverse proved itself to be pretty mid. Propelled by founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s ardent vision, Meta remains committed to its dreams of a world where we attend work meetings in VR and hang out with our friends in Horizon Worlds, rather than in person. So, as Mark Zuckerberg announced the Quest 3 headset today at the…

Ascenders: Beyond The Peak is a new turn-based roguelite in which a bunch of alpine occultists try to recover cursed artefacts from Lovecraftian mountains, before the world ends. Lotta genre references and parallels there, so let me boil it down for you: this appears to be Darkest Dungeon plus gravity. Darkest Dungeon plus slippery handholds, crumbling rock falls, blizzards, avalanches, anchor points, grappling hooks, and demolition charges. Darkest Dungeon 2 but with the wagoneering bit omitted in favour of a grid-based vertical traversal system. Instead of slumber parties in the catacombs, a Base Camp for crafting, bonding, and tending injuries.…

Infamously, Steam doesn’t allow blockchain-enabled games, so this version will be a pure web2 version that’s designed to take advantage of Steam’s massive distribution. As with all of Wemade’s blockchain games, even in the web3-enabled version of Legend of Ymir, players never have to engage with any crypto elements. Instead, these are designed to provide additional features for the most committed and advanced players. Presumably, Wemade hopes that some who play the Steam version will,…
