An impressive Skyrim multiplayer mod enters closed beta soon, with an open beta to follow.

We knew this one was coming, but the form it would take has been a hot topic in hardware circles. Some rumours suggested that Nvidia's successor to the massively successful GTX 1060 wouldn't have ray tracing features at all, while support for other Turing architecture technologies was also in doubt. Happily, the reality turns out to be very different indeed - RTX 2060 is a full-blooded Turing product, with all of the RTX features enabled. The question is really how viable the new card is for ray tracing when the hardware is inevitably pared back, and of course, how fast it is for non-RTX tasks.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout's next limited time mode features only sniper rifles and melee weapons.

The next DLC fighter for Dragon Ball FighterZ is Jiren, according to Japanese magazine.

Payday maker Starbreeze has postponed the release of Overkill's The Walking Dead on console as the company battles for survival.

I always knew the day would arrive when I had to have a serious conversation with my son about the facts of life, but I still wasn't ready when the moment came.

Blizzard has unveiled Diablo 3's Season 16, which launches today on PC, and tomorrow on Xbox One, PS4, and Switch, bringing with it new buffs, new cosmetics, and more.

Bandai Namco has unveiled its Collector's Edition for the recently announced European Dark Souls Trilogy, available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It's a decently desirable offering for enthusiasts - but it certainly doesn't come cheap.

Fortnite has begun counting down to its next in-game happening, which likely involves the wintry ball of ice currently hovering above Polar Peak.

We already know Fortnite has dominated the gaming scene - it's literally impossible to ignore - but something most haven't considered is its impact on different media forms, such as streaming service Netflix. It's a battle for eyeballs, as several analysts are now phrasing it, and yesterday Netflix cited Fortnite as one of its greatest competitors.

A week on from the announcement of Bungie and Activision's divorce proceedings, Destiny boss Luke Smith has made a rare statement on what lies ahead for the studio's sci-fi franchise.

The surprise Nvidia announcement at CES? Surely it has to be the reveal of adaptive sync/VRR support for GeForce products - or to put it more plainly, Nvidia graphics cards now deliver FreeSync functionality. Right now, only 10-series Pascal and 20-series Turing GPUs get the required support, but this is a highly significant development: over 550 monitors out there adhere to the variable refresh open standard, and with the arrival of a new driver earlier this week, you can test your GeForce graphics card on any of them.

I made a mistake while reviewing Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. I made the mistake of playing its single-player campaign for 12 hours before venturing online. That's a mistake because the single-player game is terrible, reaching new heights of energy-sapping tedium and ennui-inducing boredom. The story is rudimentary, fragmented, bizarre, and pointless, the game is an unconcealed level-grind, and that level-grind is monotonous and tedious. So for those 12 hours, the score at the bottom of this review ticked inexorably down in inverse proportion to the levels that my character was monotonously clocking up.

Assuming the role of virtual pilot while engaging legions of foes in the art of aerial combat is a concept synonymous with the origins of video games. Many popular titles of the 70s, 80s and 90s centre on this simple concept. Sometimes it was a space craft, other times a fighter jet but the concept is simple to grasp and always promises loads of fun. These games started as simple two-dimensional shooters but, as technology evolved, developers started to push new boundaries. Three-dimensional flight simulation games started to become extremely popular especially on the PC platform. From After Burner to more serious simulations such as Falcon 3.0, we certainly weren't starved for choice.

You probably already knew this - and if you didn't, please don't make me regret telling you about it - but Eurogamer has a 'Contact' email. It's about as exciting as it sounds. You can find it on our 'Contact Us' page, obviously, and anyone can use it to send us general tips or enquiries or questions - any of that sort of generic stuff that doesn't really fit into the usual communication we'd get at a site like Eurogamer every day.

You know Suda51, of course. The self-styled punk developer of Tokyo's Grasshopper Manufacture, Goichi Suda's been the driving force behind offbeat classics such as Flower, Sun and Rain, Killer7 and No More Heroes. You might not know, though, that 2007's No More Heroes marked the last time he helmed a project - and this spin-off from that spunky, stylish series sees his return to the director's chair after well over a decade.

Developer Amplitude Studios has announced a double whammy of new expansions heading to Endless Legend and Endless Space 2 later this month on PC, titled Symbiosis and Penumbra respectively.

Telltale Games has announced that its highly-anticipated second season of The Wolf Among Us will now launch in 2019, rather than at the end of 2018 as originally planned.

Telltale Games will be publishing the open-world zombie survival sim 7 Days to Die for consoles.

Rise of the Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics teased its first DLC expansion at The Game Awards earlier tonight.

Sony's DayZ-inspired zombie MMO H1Z1 launched its alpha yesterday on Steam Early Access, where it received quite the backlash.

All is not right in Wonderland. The Mad Hatter's domain has become a Communist industrial complex, where giant, living, unblinking teapots have been repurposed as parts of a rickety production line. The Walrus and the Carpenter have taken to performing in a slutty undersea cabaret that hides a gory secret. Worst of all, a massive train shaped like a cathedral on wheels is thundering through the world, leaving destruction and lakes of leathery tar in its wake.

Pokémon developer Game Freak's 2D puzzle platformer Giga Wrecker Alt. is heading to Switch, Xbox One, and PS4 "later this year", publisher Rising Star Games has announced.

Following the discovery of a secret developer room in Fallout 76, Bethesda is now temporarily disabling player accounts with items from areas "not intended for the public".

The Dark Zone was easily the most memorable thing about Tom Clancy's The Division when it launched in 2016. Never knowing whether another squad of agents was going to leave you to enjoy your hard-earned PvE loot or kill you and take it for themselves was a constant source of tension - something no multiplayer game has quite managed to recreate since.

Nearly a decade ago, video games publisher THQ thought up a clever PR stunt for its latest Wii game.

Just a few weeks after Netflix released the Black Mirror episode Bandersnatch - Charlie Brooker's slick, game-literate hybrid of high-end drama and choose-your-own-adventure - its great rival in streaming video, Amazon, is here with a very different vision of the intersection of video games and television.

This week's shaping up to be a great one for those hoping to try Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Today marks the start of Blackout's first 7-day free trial - and along with this, the advent of the battle royale mode's first limited time mode with respawning. This should certainly help if you're new.

Blood Bowl was originally a tabletop miniatures game released by that most holy of British institutions, Games Workshop, back in the '80s. Yet it wasn't until the third edition dropped in 1994 that Blood Bowl became recognisable as the game it is today. It's set in a version of the Warhammer Fantasy Universe where the many opposing races have decided to lay down their arms and settle their differences by trying to score touchdowns.

Warner Bros' mobile title based on the hit HBO sci-fi show Westworld is to close down, only weeks after the "amicable settlement" of a 2018 lawsuit in which Bethesda accused the game of being a "blatant rip-off of Fallout Shelter".
