It's like a whole new game.

Pearl Abyss showed up at gamescom Opening Night Live with a new trailer for Crimson Desert. Specifically, they showed off the big 2.0 update for Crimson Desert, an update apparently so grand that they're now calling the game Crimson Desert Enhanced.

The Enhanced update is free to everyone who already owns the game. Included in the 2.0 update are a variety of new cutscenes and dialogue that create a "more cohesive experience" and...

The launch will include the new Duelist class.

Grinding Gear Games announced the 1.0 release date for Path of Exile 2 during gamescom Opening Night Live. Path of Exile 2 will launch as a fully free-to-play action RPG on December 11, 2026. A new class, Duelist, will be added at the time of this 1.0 launch.

The new Duelist is a "sword-focused melee class," a first for Path of Exile 2. The Duelist is said to be a master of both sword and shield who can "control...

Prepare for adventure in the Far Far Kingdom.

Far Far Games and Fulqrum Publishing are about to take gamers to a world that has, up until now, been largely untapped: Slavic Folktales. A new trailer for Bylina shares a look at just a few of the adventures that are in store while also showing off "some excellent dance moves from Falconet, the game's hero."

Now, the press release says that the game takes "a comedic twist on Slavic Folklore and Myths."...

Their new studio secured $4.5 million for a new game.

Moon Beast Productions is a development studio that formed in 2021 by a bunch of former Blizzard developers that worked on classic action RPGs like Diablo and Diablo 2. This week, the studio announced that they're hoping to continue their ARPG legacy thanks to securing $4.5 million in funding for a new game.

Moon Beast Productions announced that they hope to explore "an alternate trajectory for action RPGs."...

Try to stick with me on this one. Ashen was released on December 7, 2018 for the Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store. It is a console timed exclusive, which means it "should" hit other consoles like the PlayStation 4 at some point in the future. It "may" also be a timed exclusive for the Epic Games Store, which means it will come to other digital retailers on the PC at some point. Why are we not sure? Because every publisher and developer are being cheeky as hell when it comes to th...

Even though The Surge 2 was announced, that doesn't mean work stopped on the original game. In fact, there's an entirely new expansion coming out for The Surge that maybe isn't what you expected to see out of the game.

It's called The Good, the Bad, and the Augmented and it's got a decidedly western theme going on. Just like the base game, it will put your action-RPG skills to the test.

A new action-RPG, Victor Vran: Overkill Edition, is out right now for those that own the Nintendo Switch. Priced at $39.99 (USD), Victor Vran offers up two player local co-op or four player online co-op.

You can get it either via digitally or as an actual physical release if you're into that sort of thing. Perhaps you like the taste of the physical Switch media! Hey, I won't judge... too harshly.

A bit of unfortunate news to start with today and that is the fact that Code Vein has been delayed until 2019. This comes directly from Bandai Namco that says the original September 28, 2018 release just wasn't going to be feasible anymore.

What do you get when even an "action MOBA/arena brawler" jumps onto the battle royale bandwagon? You apparently get the Battlerite: Battle Royale mode that was just announced today. This new mode is slated to arrive this Summer and will combine its action MOBA roots/arena brawler gameplay with battle royale gameplay. It will feature gameplay on a map that is "30 times larger than the standard arena mode map" with up to 20 players.
