  New Deep Rock Galactic Game Trades Co-op FPS with Single-player Bullet Hell

  This new game is quite the departure from its origins.
  
  Funday Games and their publisher, Ghost Ship Publishing, just announced Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Gone are the co-op first-person shooter shenanigans that fans have come to know and love from the original Deep Rock Galactic. In Survivor, it's just you versus an onslaught of baddies.
  
  Funday Games is calling this a "survivor-like auto-shooter." You can probably think of this as Vampire Survivors but with...

  Final Fantasy 16 is Probably Coming to PC but Not for a Very Long Time

  Earlier this year, Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida said that if you wanted to play the new Square Enix developed RPG you should just "buy a PlayStation 5." He sure seemed to indicate at that time that a PC release of the game just wasn't in the cards yet.
  
  Of course, this is assuming you ignore the initial trailer reveal of Final Fantasy 16 that included...

  To deliver you what is yours. Destined death.
  
  A day many of us have been waiting for is here: FromSoftware finally announced the first expansion for Elden Ring. The rather low-key announcement came via Twitter where the developer merely confirmed that the DLC is currently in development and that it's called Shadow of the Erdtree.
