PlayStation Lifestyle reports that a PlayStation 5 game, previously planned for release in 2025, has been canceled. While some fans hoped it was just postponed, it now appears the game won’t be coming out at all.
When it’s released on February 17th, it will include several significant new features as part of a larger anniversary update.
In a recent interview, the game’s director, Gabriel Paramo, and lead artist, Dimitri Berman, shared details about the upcoming Anniversary update. Launching at the same time as the PlayStation 5 version, the update introduces New Game+, letting players start a new game while keeping their character’s overall progress. However, some things will reset, such as weapons returning to their base level.
A newly revealed character from Lords of the Fallen 2 appears to be a follower of the moon goddess Menasilde, judging by their blue cloak and armor details. Their weapon is a shortened greatsword. Fans have noted a resemblance to both Artorias, a knight from the Dark Souls DLC, and Wylder, a similar character from Elden Ring’s Nightreign, with Wylder even having a costume inspired by Artorias.
For a long time, The Elder Scrolls Online has released major expansions annually, following a common model for online games. These expansions introduced new areas of Tamriel to discover, continued the game’s story, and offered optional downloadable content for purchase. Sometimes, they also included additions like new character classes or gameplay features.
Despite recent changes, the developers at The Elder Scrolls Online assure players the game isn’t going anywhere. They’ve recently revealed plans for a seasonal content system, suggesting a continued commitment to updates and new experiences.
Even now, our brains still make surprising connections. A user named guiltyassassin56 on the r/Skyrim subreddit recently proved this by identifying a background object from a Doctor Who episode (season 10, episode 1) as matching a Skyrim skeleton image – almost ten years after both originally appeared.
Unlike many other open-world games that guide you with clear stories or objectives, Elden Ring encourages players to find things on their own, which often leads to unexpected and rewarding experiences. While Elden Ring‘s open world is impressive, other games offer more compelling reasons to explore, often through how you move around. These other games might not be perfect, but their exploration systems are a major reason why they succeed.
For some time, there have been rumors about a version of Monster Hunter Wilds coming to the next Nintendo Switch. People digging into the game’s code have been sharing details, and a recent Reddit post discussed features like local multiplayer, DLSS technology, and how the game handles non-player characters. Now, information about the game’s graphics settings has also appeared online.
I’ve played this game for over 100 hours now, which is usually enough to experience everything most games have to offer. However, with Where Winds Meet, I feel like I’ve only just begun to explore its world, even though I’m actively trying to uncover all of its content. It’s remarkable – how does a free-to-play game manage to compete with much larger, more expensive titles?
