Elden Ring Nightreign has been infested with a few bugs for some time, and I’m not talking about the Sentient Pest. I’ve encountered a couple of issues that prevented teammates from pulling off rezzes, and I’ve even seen one of the map bosses disappear from my sight, despite it clearly still being there and managing … Read more

It’s not just your PC or your phone that’s a potential cybersecurity risk these days, as Google’s recent work uncovering an internet-of-things botnet proves.

If you were planning on conquering an alien world with a faction of weirdos in August, I’ve got some bad news: Endless Legend 2 has been delayed. Instead of appearing on August 7, Amplitude’s early access 4X is now expected to launch on September 22. Amplitude says the delay will give the team more time … Read more
