  Dolphin Emulator No Longer Coming to Steam (Updated)

  You'll never guess who's to blame.
  
  Update May 27 at 2:00PM (ET): According to several sources, the issue isn't with the Dolphin Emulator per se, but rather the fact that the Dolphin team includes the Wii decryption key, aka: Wii common key, with their releases of Dolphin. This is obviously a big "no-no" as those are Nintendo property and are used to break DRM for Wii titles.
  
  You can see at least one take on this from Modern Vintage Gamer on YouTube starting at...

  Battlefield 2042 Season 5 - New Dawn - Trailer and New Content Details

  The fifth and final season is nearly here.
  
  Battlefield 2042 has had a hell of a run. From being a disappointing mess at launch to becoming a game that I can safely recommend in its current state. Today, DICE showed off a new trailer for Season 5: New Dawn, the fifth and final season of content for the FPS.
  
  Season 5: New Dawn will launch on June 7. This season will include a brand new map, new weapons, new gadgets, and various quality of life improvements. Some of those...

  Last of Us Multiplayer Project Delayed, Naughty Dog Announces New Single Player Game

  The multiplayer just wasn't engaging enough.
  
  It was certainly a curious thing when The Last of Us multiplayer project was a no-show during the latest PlayStation Showcase event this week. The last we heard anything about this project came in January 2023 when Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann promised we would hear more about it later in 2023.
  
  Technically, he didn't lie because there was some new information shared today about the multiplayer project. Only it's probably not...

  Jodie Comer and David Harbour to Star in Alone in the Dark

  The two Hollywood stars will be your main protagonists.
  
  The upcoming Alone in the Dark game, be it a reboot or otherwise, has enlisted the help of two Hollywood stars for the main playable roles. Those stars are Jodie Comer and David Harbour. They are lending their voices, likenesses, and acting to the roles of Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby respectively.
  
  Jodie Comer is perhaps best known for her roles in Killing Eve and Free Guy. You may recognize David Harbour from...

  The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Reviewing Worse than Crime Boss: Rockay City

  Gollum manages to be worse than a game with Vanilla Ice.
  
  The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was released today and I'm willing to bet that this won't be the last time you hear about this game. No, I suspect that you'll hear a bit more about this game when it comes time for some outlets to talk about the worst games released in 2023.
  
  Thus far, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is sitting at just a 43% critic average on OpenCritic with only 5% of all critics actually recommending...

  First Bungie Behind the Scenes for Marathon

  A first look at this PvP extraction shooter from Bungie.
  
  The original Marathon trilogy of titles were first-person shooters set in a sci-fi universe that had a heavy emphasis on storytelling. They were games that were primarily all about the single-player campaign and the story, though there were some competitive multiplayer modes. The last game, Marathon Infinity was first released for Mac in 1996.
  
  Fast-forward to 2023, some 27 years after the last game was released,...

  After Us Review (PS5)

  After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.
  
  A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...

  The PlayStation Showcase for May 24, 2023 just ended. There were a bunch of trailers shown during the event. Here are most of them save for the ones I miss or forgot about. Yes, this is a Newsbits in all but name, the title was already long enough. The trailers aren't in any order besides the order in which I look at the numerous emails I just received. I've tried to include all release dates and known platforms. There are some that I have only seen ...

  Just a teaser for a bigger reveal.
  
  DICE released a little teaser today for Season 5 of Battlefield 2042. This teaser was dropped ahead of a planned larger reveal scheduled for May 26. First off, we learned that Season 5 is being called New Dawn.
  
  The teaser is just that, a teaser of the upcoming gameplay reveal on the 26th at 8AM (PT). It also seems to hold a little more than meets the eye at first glance. For instance, is that morse code I hear? Secondly, what does 1 11...

  Vehicle Reworks Coming in Battlefield 2042 Season 5

  Less explosives, category adjustments, and more.
  
  DICE just detailed the changes that are coming to vehicle loadouts for Battlefield 2042 in Season 5. While the general changes may not seem like a whole lot at a glance, they are rather big in the grand scheme of things. For instance, DICE is pulling explosives from several vehicles to have them be less of a "jack of all trades" sort of thing and to better fit the roles they were designed for. There is also a small shuffle to move the...
