We got some news about it because this is a video game website that posts video game related news. That is how these things work.

Band Together in Terror: The Outlast Trials Review
The Outlast Trials proves that survival horror can be more fun with friends.
The Outlast Trials is a four-player PvE game taking place in the Cold War era. The game's opening moments and lore paint a gruesome and wicked scene that will be familiar to series veterans but disquieting to those new to the Outlast universe. Players work their way through a series of experiments, each of which plays out on various large maps like a police station, a courthouse, a carnival, and more. The g...

TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden
Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.
On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.
This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

Gearbox Reportedly Hit by Layoffs After Embracer Sale
Oh...
Today, it was shared that Embracer Group sold off Gearbox Entertainment to Take-Two for $460 million. Apparently, as I was typing up that report, Insider Gaming put up another story concerning Gearbox Entertainment and theirs is a little less positive.
According to Insider Gaming, Gearbox Entertainment staff were hit with layoffs after being sold to Take-Two. Insider Gaming cites several social media posts where those who have been employed by Gearbox reveal that... -

All told, there were approximately 240 employees laid off from these three studios, with only a "small number" of layoffs hitting Hardlight.
Despite the layoffs, Sega says Creative Assembly continues to "have... -

Bug fixes are incoming.
The seventh season of Battlefield 2042 launched last week alongside Update 7.0.0. This week, DICE shared news of Update 7.0.1 that they hope to deploy on Tuesday, April 2nd.
This update is a minor one, as you can probably tell from the version number. It does include a few game breaking fixes for issues that were seemingly introduced as part of Update 7.0.0, but nothing particularly major is included in this new update.

NetEase's Marvel Rivals is an upcoming 6v6, third-person hero shooter that was revealed earlier today.

When V Rising is out of Early Access on May 8, it will launch with some crossover content with Castlevania.

The Legacy of Castlevania content will add Simon Belmont and a new weapon. This content will be free. There is also... -

Generation Zero Celebrates 5th Anniversary with Free Weapon Skins
Five years on and the game is still getting updated.
When Generation Zero released in 2019, it wasn't really all that great. The stealth-shooter had a lot of issues in all aspects of the game, making the stealth-action shooter rather mediocre at best. In these past five years, developer Systemic Reaction has worked continuously to update the game with fixes, improvements, and a bunch of new content. By most accounts, the current state of Generation Zero is quite good and a massive... -

You Can Use Trebuchets in Dragon's Dogma 2
Learning something new after 25 hours.
I am just shy of 25 hours of play time in Dragon's Dogma 2 (let's ignore the time spent trying to adjust all sorts of graphical options to make the game not run like garbage), and I am only now finding out about a new gameplay mechanic. Were you aware that you can use the various trebuchets you come across in Dragon's Dogma 2?
Sure, the usable ballista were probably rather obvious, especially given how you can see one used right... -

Release is still probably a long way away though.
The Elder Scrolls series has turned 30 years old this year and Bethesda Game Studios took to social media to offer up some thoughts on these past three decades. The Elder Scrolls: Arena was the first title and came out back in 1994 for MS-DOS. Arena is still free to play through Steam, by the way. And while there hasn't been a new mainline release for the franchise since 2011's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the series is as popular... -

Capcom is Adding a New Game Option for Dragon's Dogma 2
Framerate improvements won't be a part of this update.
Capcom says in the "near future" they will release an update for Dragon's Dogma 2 that adds in the ability to start a new game if save data already exists. To those not keeping up on the goings-on for Dragon's Dogma 2, the game released with the inability to easily start a new game if you already created a save. Dragon's Dogma 2 only allows for one save slot and that is it.
