As all Rainbow Six Siege players know, Sledge’s sledgehammer is a powerful breaching tool. So, it’s not a surprise that one day he’d swing the hammer too hard and end up in an alternate Minecraft dimension. This fun short posted by Reddit user n0lberg on the Siege subreddit has already garnered nearly 50 thousand upvotes. Since Minecraft is inherently a game with freeform breaching, I see so much more potential in this crossover. I want a complete Minecraft Siege mode that mods in breaching char

Overwatch is going through some big changes with Blizzard’s recent announcement of Role Queue in Competitive, but that’s not stopping it from teasing (and possibly leaking) Overwatch’s next hero: Sigma. In fact, the new Role Queue is the reason we have could our first look at Sigma’s face. The supposed leak came from Mexico’s official team in the Overwatch World Cup. In a tweet meant only to show off the new Role Queue features, one screenshot of the showed time played with “Sigma,” presumably B

Sumo Digital is hiring up as it goes into production on two new projects published by 2K. According to job postings, one of these projects might be a first-person live service action game on PC and current consoles. “We’re delighted to be working with 2K and look forward to disclosing details of the projects in due course,” said Sumo Digital managing director Gary Dunn in the announcement on Sumo’s website. In one posting for a technical director, Sumo would prefer if applicants have experience

In a recent investor call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot assured investors that porting games to Google Stadia isn’t as costly a job as it may seem. “The extra cost to put to make sure the games work well on Stadia is not that high,” Guillemot said, according to a report by Gamasutra. I previously assumed that Stadia would essentially stream the same PC version I could download elsewhere, but the process is more involved. It’s reasonable to assume that a Stadia port would generally be a lighter wor

Borderlands 3 developers Gearbox have a display at San Diego Comic-Con called the Museum of Mayhem where they’re showcasing their game’s rejected cover art. Some of it’s gorgeous, and over on the Resetera forum poster vestan has photographed the highlights. Plenty of the others are great as well, especially the one with the stark black silhouetted figure on a white background, and the one with a gun for a head. Here’s everything we know about Borderlands 3. (Image credit: Gearbox Interactive)(Im

There’s a new version of the Java version of Minecraft. The 1.14.4 patch contains a lot of bugfixes for the Villagers and Pillagers update, which Mojang described as Minecraft’s biggest update ever. As always there’s some entertaining stuff hidden in those bugfix notes, my favorite being “Villagers will now remember their gossip after becoming a Zombie Villager”. And “Gossip about players who converted a zombie villager will now last longer” isn’t bad either. Here’s the list of changes in versio

The inaugural season of the Farming Simulator League will get underway later this month at FarmCon, which this year will be held at the CLAAS Technoparc in Harsewinkel, Germany. The convention will be held July 27 and 28 and play host to the League’s first official tournament, with a €11,000 prize pool. The competitive farming will be broadcast on Twitch on the Giants Software and Focus Home Interactive channels. But the Farming Simulator League has a prize pool worth €250,000, which indicates a

Welcome to Watch Dogs Legion’s London. That’s not all: this week, we’re regaling you with the many half-remembered delights of E3 2019, from Cyberpunk 2077 to Empire of Sin.

A new developer diary from FireFly Studios explains some of the updates it’s making with Stronghold: Warlords, a new entry in the classic RTS series. In past Stronghold games, individual members of a unit would walk through other friendly units rather than find a path around. In Stronghold: Warlords, troops will take up space, and moving one group through another will result in displacement. Warlords is using the old grid system from the 2D days of Stronghold and Stronghold: Crusader. FireFly sa

The base game is a great RPG, but Skyrim console commands let you fine tune the world’s rules to your liking. The console commands are pretty easy to input, too. Skyrim console commandsTo enable the console, just hit the tilde (`) key and enter the appropriate codes, which are listed below. Just grab the desired number from our Skyrim item codes or Skyrim NPC codes posts. Note that this also hides the console commands menu, meaning you’ll have to type it again without being able to see the conso

It’s the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, the first mission to take humans to the surface of the moon. Space sandbox Astroneer is paying tribute to that momentous occasion with some themed in-game items and the chance to listen to audio from the historic flight. For a limited time, Astroneer players can travel to Desolo, the game’s Moon equivalent, to search for the Apollo Lunar Module. Additionally, there are approximately an hour’s worth of audio logs taken directly from the Apollo 11 mission, f

GTA Online’s Diamond Casino & Resort is finally going to open its doors next week—July 23, to be specific—with poker, blackjack, roulette, slot machines, ponies, and even penthouse suites. And you link your Rockstar Social Club account to your Twitch Prime account (with some haste), you’ll get free access to one of your very own. And it’s not really much of a hassle: Log into your Twitch Prime account, log into your Rockstar Social Club account and then click where it tells you. “Certain restric

So too will Cyberpunk 2077, which will actually have a “Hardcore” mode that disables the user interface completely. “The most fun one I think will be the Hardcore setting where we turn off the UI … And that will be a real challenge for a lot of players,” Cyberpunk 2077 UI coordinator Alvin Liu told WCCFtech. We want to tell a story and maybe you’re a big fan of The Witcher and you’re not comfortable playing a shooter, we have settings available for that.” Liu also put to rest the rumor that La

The last game name I expect Gunfire Games president David Adams to drop is Terraria. We’re talking about Remnant: From the Ashes, his studio’s attempt to make a big, deeply replayable third person shooter. “Obviously, [Remnant] is a completely different game than that,” Adams says. “We didn’t want to be like, oh, you shoot the tail off of this creature and it gives you a boss weapon, and that’s how it is on every boss,” Adams says. Remnant: From the Ashes is out on PC in just a month, on August

The latest update for Subnautica: Blow Zero’s Early Access build adds some brand new content to use to customize your undersea base. The Arctic Living update adds in new rooms, a handy new way to light up your environment, and a jukebox. At the top of the list of additions is the new Control Room, which lets you manage all your important base activities in one place. From the control room, you can fiddle with your HQ’s power supply, identify breaches, and check the weather forecast. The latest p

(Image credit: Tom Sykes)Am I off the mark in thinking Sacrifights looks like an Amiga game? It’s got that higher-resolution detail to the sprites, and the overall cartoony quirkiness that was still in evidence on the machine. Looks aside, the game is an odd, interesting mix of time management and hectic shooting and dodging action. Living in a dingy room, you’ve taken it upon yourself to summon a series of violent demons, by sacrificing items in a ritual circle located in your basement. For mor

For weeks (years, actually), GTA 5 players have been wondering when Los Santos’ long-dormant Vinewood casino was going to open. Now we know—it’s coming next week, as Rockstar has formally revealed its Diamond Casino & Resort is going to open its doors on July 23 as part of GTA Online. You can check out the first trailer for the casino update above. Using Chips, which sound like they’re the in-game casino currency rather than GTA money, you can play Three Card Poker, Blackjack, Roulette and Slot

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw will launch next month as an Epic Games Store Exclusive. The Rebel Galaxy semi-prequel is set for release August 13. Double Damage Games published a new video announcing the date, featuring the sarcastic alien Sandar we’ve seen in previous trailers. The original Rebel Galaxy, which launched in 2015, was a fun little shooter, and Christopher Livingston made a point of mentioning its lovely explosions in his review. Rebel Galaxy Outlaw looks to expand on just about everything i

(Image credit: Tom Sykes)The beautiful, polished Atma feels like a ‘full’ game compressed to a fine jewel, an action adventure with no fat you can play for free over an afternoon or so. The impressive pixel art reminds of Hyper Lift Drifter (though they could have maybe toned down the bloom slightly), while the central mechanic recalls the ‘pause the game and draw lines on the screen’ of the similarly Zelda-inspired Okami. You’re Shaya, a spiritual guardian, and you’re attempting to aid your lov

Now, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is taking a stab at some worldbuilding with a new cinematic trailer for Season 4. The video provides some hints at the backstory of Erangel, the original PUBG map. The cinematic serves as an introduction to PUBG Season 4, which looks to be kicking off next week. There are key changes included that help illustrate Erangel’s history, and those ought to be interesting to discover and decipher. The full patch notes are available on the official PUBG blog, and you c
