With a new generation of consoles boldly coming our week, No Man’s Sky is the latest game to announce a makeover update that’ll benefit us playing on PC too. While consoleers will see the most dramatic changes as they jump into new PlayShips and XRockets with oodles more oomph, on PC we should still see more detail in landscapes – particularly running it at Ultra settings. Consoleers will get Next Generation free when they jump system, and it’ll be a free update to the space-exploration game on PC too. Here, come look at all these fancier rocks:

Chris Metzen left Blizzard back in 2016, after a long career in roles such as creative director of World Of Warcraft and Overwatch, co-design lead on StarCraft and many more. He had been at the studio for 23 years, and so he announced his retirement, for it was time to rest.

It wasn’t a long rest, however, because Metzen got the itch to start creating cool fictional worlds once more. Now he’s joined up with another former Blizz dev, Mike Gilmartin, to make tabletop games at a new company, Warchief Gaming.

CD Projekt Red announced yesterday that, once again, they were delaying the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. The dystopian RPG’s new (and potentially even final) release date is December 10th. This was a surprise to us, who’ve seen CDPR repeatedly say no more delays. And reportedly, the people making the game found out about the new delay at the same time we all did. Might not be the nicest surprise when you’re having to work crunch hours.

Everyone just wants to be involved with cloud gaming at the moment, don’t they? Ubisoft have announced they’re rebranding their UPlay+ subscription service to Ubisoft+, and they’re whacking it on Amazon Luna on November 10th, then Google Stadia later in the year.

For PC folks the service isn’t changing much from what you might’ve been used to with UPlay+. It costs £13/$15, you’ll have access to a library of loads of Ubi games, and be able to play upcoming new stuff like Watch Dogs: Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising.

Diane Ganguly is a totally ordinary Londoner; one of the nine million NPCs who put the “Legion” in Watch Dogs Legion, since they can all be recruited and made playable. She’s a talent agent in her early thirties, with a pet owl, an anti-immigration voting record, and a history of going to furry conventions. As I said, totally ordinary. Until now, that is.

Underground hacker collective DedSec has just contacted Diane, tasking her with rebuilding the local resistance against omniscient, fashy security megacorp Albion. The odds, it’s made clear, are overwhelming. Diane will have to keep to the shadows, working every advantage she has, if the renewed DedSec London is to survive. Naturally then, Diane immediately steals a high-powered sports car, and embarks on a full-on, hundred-mile-an-hour Ragnarok of a joyride through Westminster, while retro footie belter “Three Lions” blasts from the stereo.

Cyberpunk 2077

takes place in Night City, a seven-million-strong metropolis with danger and opportunity in equal measure around every corner. CD Projekt Red have said that while Night City is smaller than the map of its previous RPG, The Witcher 3, it’s considerably denser, and there’s an enormous amount for players to explore and discover. In this Cyberpunk 2077 map guide we’ll walk you through everything we know about the layout of Night City and what you can expect to find inside.

The first time my friend showed me a blue hedgehog whizzing across the screen from left-to-right, I knew I had to get a Mega Drive. It didn’t stop there, though: I had to read the comics, watch the cartoon, get the toys. Sonic The Hedgehog became a pivotal figure in my life as soon as I laid eyes on him.

And then he let me down.

Well, that didn’t stick. Earlier today, Valorant began rolling out version 1.11, adding animal-yeeting Aussie hero Skye and a frosty new Icebox map. But following a host of bizarre hiccups, it now looks like Riot have decided to slam the pause button, calling the update a “technical nightmare” and delaying the update’s proper arrival ’til later this week.
