We know that Rainbow Six Siege’s Year 4 Season 3 operators will be from Mexico and Peru, and a leak in June suggested their gadgets will be a grappling hook and a shield that drops fire when destroyed. A new leak this week, originating on 4Chan, supposedly shows what those two new operators look like: you can see one above, and the other below. (Image credit: Reddit user Eevim)We have no confirmation that these are legit, but there a couple of reasons we think they probably are. First is that Ko

Cao Cao—Strategic Mastermind(Image credit: Creative Assembly)MORE WAR (Image credit: Sega) Expand your game with our round-up of the best Total War: Three Kingdoms mods. Cao Cao is a great pick for your first Three Kingdoms campaign. It’s not all about fighting with Cao Cao, though. Unique features: Cao Cao has two unique building types.

Then in late April Philza got killed by a spider and a baby zombie, and it changed his whole life. But the clip went viral, getting Philza sudden attention from Minecraft fans, Twitch viewers, and even the BBC. Harnessing the spotlight, he did a 24-hour livestream, starting a new Minecraft Hardcore world and aiming to get 100 subscribers on Twitch. His viewership snowballed, pushing him up and up among the popular Minecraft streamers, so more new viewers started to check out his channel. When I

No Man’s Sky’s latest big update has been cooking away since Hello Games released the excellent Next update last year. Beyond introduces sweeping changes to multiplayer and No Man’s Sky’s social layer, which was essentially non-existent at launch, and VR support. Instead of releasing it bit by bit, Hello Games has saved up three updates and rolled them into one mega update. We’ve only been given a brief taste of it, 15 minutes in No Man’s Sky VR, but it seems like a perfect match. Even though wo

(Image credit: Bethesda/Mihail)Mimics are the worst, tricking oblivious adventurers into becoming a snack. This Skyrim mod appears to be based on the most grotesque of the lot of them: Dark Souls’ mimics. There’s not one part of them that isn’t incredibly unsettling, but it’s that horrible, diseased tongue that turns my stomach. Skyrim modder Mihail created them for the original version of Skyrim, but they’ve recently been added to Skyrim Special Edition, letting you ruin your dungeon dives once

Today is Friday, and that means it’s time for a gentle reminder—or, if you missed it the first time around, a heads-up—that Alan Wake and For Honor are free on the Epic Games Store if you want them. For Honor is the Standard Edition, which normally goes for $40, so that’s a solid pickup if you don’t have it already. Not that you have to pick because they’re both free this week, thanks to the fact that medieval dismemberment sim For Honor is rated M, which would mean no free game for those behind

(Image credit: Asus)It looks as though Asus is not waiting until September to launch custom versions of AMD’s Radeon RX 5700 XT and 5700 cards, after all. Asus is planning to launch at least five custom Navi cards in August, beginning with ROG Strix variants of both the 5700 XT and 5700. (Image credit: Asus)A week later on August 23, Asus will launch two more custom variants, the TUF Gaming X3 Radeon RX 5700 XT and 5700. Finally, Asus says it will launch a single Dual Radeon RX 5700 Evo card on

Twitch is handing out a couple of Madden NFL 20 freebies to Prime subscribers, beginning with legendary player Jim Brown, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and 1964 Super Bowl winner, who is coming to the Madden Ultimate Team online mode for the first time. While you’re at it, you can also use your Prime time to grab free loot for other games including FIFA 19 and Apex Legends Twitch. During the first week of September, Twitch Prime subscribers will also be given an exclusive uniform to use in Madd

(Image credit: Future)EVGA has updated its Precision X1 overclocking utility for GPUs, and while it is a minor, the sole addition of a “boost lock” feature is a welcome upgrade for some users. With regards to the new boost lock feature, this allows you to “lock the graphics card frequency to the highest performance state,” EVGA explains, adding that it does not support SLI. Activating the boost lock toggle essentially does away with a card’s programmed boost frequency and variable clockspeed set

There’s always a push for ‘bigger’ and ‘more’ when it comes to gaming tech, but not in this case; Razer flips the bird at that trend with the ambidextrous Viper esports mouse. It may stumble on the way to achieving that, but the Razer Viper makes good on its promise nonetheless. But Razer’s secret weapon in this battle are brand-new Optical Mouse Switches that, according to their press release, “respond instantaneously to every finger press”. The Viper is the first Razer mouse to use these switc

GTA Online’s Diamond Casino has proved to be a popular destination. According to Rockstar, GTA Online’s citizens are wild for gambling, resulting in the game’s busiest single day and week since launch, six years ago. While GTA Online’s in-game currency is used to purchase chips, netting you one chip for one dollar, Rockstar also sells that in-game currency. To spice things up, he reckons GTA Online’s casino desperately needs Red Dead Online’s horses and poker, because right now it’s a bit dull.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered will let you strap on a proton pack and bust some ghosts in October, just in time for the spookiest holiday of the year. The original was a perfectly OK action game, putting it pretty high up on the list of best licensed games. Even with the new movies, however, it’s still a strange candidate for the remaster treatment, but I wouldn’t say no to zapping some ghosts for a few hours. IGN’s got a clip of a Stay Puft boss battle, which honestly makes me feel a

(Image credit: Sean Noonan)The Mapcore game development community recently challenged designers to take the opening level from one of three games—Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike 1.6, or Super Mario Bros.—and remake it in software of their choice. And that’s how we got to see 1-1 as it would play in Unreal. Level designer Sean Noonan, whose credits include a couple of Far Cry games, Watch Dogs, Star Citizen, and is currently working on Gears: Tactics, took on the challenge. All the Mario elemen

Cyberpunk 2077 the videogame will be set in the world of Mike Pondsmith’s tabletop Cyberpunk RPGs, originally published by R. Talsorian in 1988 with a definitive second edition called Cyberpunk 2020 in 1990 (though there was a third edition it’s since been declared non-canon). Working together with CD Projekt Red, a new edition that bridges the gap between those games and the videogame has been made and the first set of books are out now. The Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit is a beginner’s version o

(Image credit: BenQ)In our best gaming monitors roundup, we gave the BenQ EL2870U the title of the best budget 4K HDR display, thanks to its impressive feature set and competitive price. This display uses a 27.9-inch Twisted Nematic (TN) panel, with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K) and support for HDR. The main drawbacks are the somewhat-lacklustre viewing angles (but when are you not looking at your monitor straight-on?) and the lack of a high refresh rate, but this is still an impressive packa

It’s starting to seem like Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord might actually launch one of these days, what with some lucky players getting to test the skirmish mode in beta and the game’s impending appearance at Gamescom later this month. If you didn’t get into the beta and need a fix, you can watch some raw footage above. The skirmish is from last week’s test and it’s the mode you’ll want to hit up if you’re just looking to batter people in duels. TaleWorlds showed off some more of the larger Captain

As a Jo-mei’s resident composer and sound designer he has worked on several games, but none larger or more complex than their latest title Sea of Solitude. Here he tells me how he translated the game’s often heavy themes into music and why he champions young artists and underrepresented musical instruments. PC Gamer: The soundtrack contains Sea of Solitude’s only track with lyrics, “I picture you before me” featuring Stella Angelika. The lyrics are largely written spontaneously or improvised bec
