Digital Extremes talked about Warframe and Soulframe at PAX East 2025. Warframe receives an Isleweaver update this June. Players return to Duviri to battle Major Rusalka and new Murmur enemies. This continues the story from the 1999 update. The update adds a clan event called Eight Claw.
A new Soulframe trailer showed a boss named the Tired King. More Soulframe news comes at Tennocon 2025 in July. Digital Extremes makes it easier for new players to reach the 1999 content. Changes include fixes to character Vor and updates to the Junction areas. Melee slam attacks will need higher jumps, as small hops lose power.
These updates arrive with Isleweaver in June. TennoCon, which happens July 18-19, will feature more game news. The company...
Nintendo plans to release Zelda: Breath of the Wild for their new Switch 2 console with better graphics. A recent YouTube video shows how amazing the game looks with ray tracing effects added through computer mods. These special lighting effects make the game appear almost realistic compared to its original cartoon style. The Switch 2 cannot display graphics this advanced, despite supporting some ray tracing features. Players who want the absolute best visuals must continue playing on computer emulators with custom upgrades.
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom will arrive on Switch 2 when the console launches on June 5. These upgraded versions support higher resolution displays and smoother frame rates for clearer movement...
NVIDIA launched a fresh driver for DOOM: The Dark Ages yesterday. Players can download version 576.40 ahead of the game coming out May 15. People who bought the Premium Edition can play starting tomorrow. The new software helps RTX 50 cards run games up to four times faster with special features. These cards use something called Multi Frame Generation to make games look smoother.
The driver fixes several problems gamers reported. Monster Hunter Wilds no longer crashes randomly during play. Dead Space Remake lost its shadow flicker issue on RTX 50 cards. Color problems when playing at a lower than native resolution went away. Black screen issues with certain ASUS monitors disappeared. The driver also stopped stuttering on some LG TVs...
The US and China reached a trade deal that lowers taxes on computer parts from 145% to 30%. This change helps people who play video games because parts might stay at current prices instead of going up. The agreement removes uncertainty between both countries about future trade rules. Stores might not cut prices right away because some products have already paid the higher tax rates. The supply chain works better when everyone knows what to expect.
Computer parts have become more expensive lately, with laptops and other devices costing more each month. NVIDIA recently raised prices on graphics cards between 10% and 15% because of old trade policies. The new deal should keep prices steady for many computer pieces in the future. More...
ASUS lists three custom RTX 5060 graphics cards on Best Buy with prices far above what NVIDIA announced. The cheapest ASUS model starts at $339 for the basic Prime version. Their high-end TUF Gaming OC model costs $409.99, which adds $110 to the suggested price of $299. ASUS offers a middle option with the PRIME OC at $379.99. These price increases come despite minimal clock speed improvements over standard models.
PNY keeps their dual-fan RTX 5060 at the official $299.99 price tag. Buyers might see these prices change once the cards actually hit shelves on May 19. NVIDIA plans to officially launch these cards next week during the Computex show. The size details for ASUS cards seem wrong since they list 250W power usage instead of the...
Game makers find ray tracing better than old lighting methods for new games like Assassin's Creed: Shadows. Ubisoft shared this info at a recent developer talk about how they make games look pretty. They explained that older games like Assassin's Creed Unity used fixed lighting that worked well because the game world was small. If they tried using that same method with Assassin's Creed Origins, the game would need 450 GB just for lights. Assassin's Creed: Shadows would require 2 TB of light data and almost 2 years to prepare everything.
Ray tracing makes this process much easier for people who create games. Developers added both old lighting and ray tracing to Shadows because not all players have fancy computer parts. On game systems...
Tony Hawk hopes Activision will remake more skating games after Pro Skater 3+4 arrives this July. He told ScreenRant he wants the company to remake the Tony Hawk Underground series next. Hawk plans to campaign for these remakes despite acknowledging the decision rests with Activision. He mentioned the larger company makes these choices regardless of his wishes. Fans already loved the Pro Skater 1+2 remake that came out back in 2020.
The Pro Skater 3+4 project almost never happened because Activision initially rejected it. Vicarious Visions pitched the idea before the studio merged with Blizzard. Many players consider it surprising that the project survived these corporate changes. The sales performance of the upcoming release will...
The Fallout TV series might run for five or six seasons, according to Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus. Moten shared details at Comic Con Liverpool about the planned story arc. He stated the team always knew character development would happen gradually across multiple seasons. Similar comments came from showrunner Graham Wagner following the first season's success. Wagner mentioned they discuss three to five potential seasons, but approach each one as if it could be the last.
The second season finished filming recently, as announced through social media. Fans can expect the new episodes either late 2025 or early 2026 on Amazon Prime Video. Cast member Walton Goggins claims the upcoming season surpasses the first in quality. He praised...
Rumors suggest a Grand Theft Auto IV version for modern consoles might appear before December 2025. Leaker Tez2 claims someone at Rockstar hinted at this project last year. The game has reportedly been under development for about twelve months already. This release may explain why Rockstar shut down the fan-made Liberty City Preservation Project. Such timing makes sense because official plans often clash with fan creations.
If Rockstar sticks to earlier plans, Max Payne 3 could follow with its fresh version. This might create perfect timing with Remedy Entertainment launching their Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes. Take-Two might sell these games together as a complete package. The previous talk about GTA IV coming back never turned into a...
