The biggest DLC event of 2024 has finally launched. Here's what is in the best physical version of this 10/10 extravaganza, and also what's inside of it....

Dragon Age 4 was revealed years ago under the name Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. However, with seemingly months to go before the game’s fall 2024 launch, BioWare announced it was changing the name to Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Ahead of that announcement, Game Informer visited BioWare's Edmonton office for an exclusive look at the game for our Dragon Age: The Veilguard cover story. It's here we learned that the name had changed. I interviewed various Veilguard leads for the cover story, and one of the first questions I asked each of them was, "Why the name change?" Here's what each told me:  BioWare's Leads On Changing The Name To Dragon Age: The Veilguard Veilguard game director Corinne Busche: "First of all, I would say that these games are reflections of the teams that make them, and as part of that,...

Earlier this month, EA Sports revealed the San Francisco 49ers' Christian McCaffrey graces the Madden NFL 25 (2024) cover, and now the company has formally revealed the game with a new trailer. The official reveal trailer highlights the "next level of FieldSENSE" and new "BOOM Tech," which EA describes as a "new dynamic physics-based tackling system that lets you dominate the gridiron like a bonafide NFL superstar." The trailer also reveals the Madden NFL 25 MVP Bundle, which includes EA Sports College Football 25, Madden NFL 25, and bonus rewards for both.  Check it out for yourself in the Madden NFL 25 reveal trailer below:  Madden NFL 25 hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via the Windows EA App, Steam, and Epic Games Store) on August 16.  In the meantime, read our thoughts...

Update, 3:42 p.m., 6/20/24: Earlier today, Ubisoft accidentally posted a trailer for Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition alongside news the game would be coming to all platforms next week. However, shortly after, it deleted the post. Now, Ubisoft has reposted the news, confirming Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition is, in fact, real and launching on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC on June 25.  Check out the trailer for yourself in the announcement below:  Smile for the camera 📸 You'll be able to relive Jade's adventures in Beyond Good & Evil - 20th Anniversary Edition, coming June 25! pic.twitter.com/xzubaKSDYI — Ubisoft (@Ubisoft) June 20, 2024 The original story continues below...

Last year, an Xbox store listing for Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition accidentally went live, with Ubisoft later stating it went up early due to a "technical error." Now, in what appears to be another technical error of sorts, Ubisoft might have accidentally revealed Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition launches June 25.  Earlier today, the official Ubisoft X (formerly Twitter) account posted a trailer for the game, which runs for nearly two minutes and features a look at the game's seemingly remastered visuals and performance, alongside the following text: "You'll be able to relive Jade's adventures in Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition, coming June 25." That post is no longer available, as Ubisoft has deleted it. Nonetheless, June 25 is next Tuesday so it's possible this beloved classic is coming to...

YouTuber Videogamedunkey, otherwise known as Dunkey, announced in 2022 that he started a game publishing company called Bigmode, and its first game, Animal Well, launched to critical acclaim last month. In a surprise announcement in a video Dunkey released yesterday, Bigmode revealed the next game it is publishing: Star of Providence.  At the end of Dunkey's E3 2024 video, he cuts to a new trailer for Star of Prodivence showcasing the pixel-art shoot-em-up with a retro soundtrack to match, and it looks awesome. The game was revealed last year, but this publishing announcement footage reveals it's coming to Switch and PC (via Steam) in February.  Check out the Star of Providence reveal in the video below:  "Descent into the facility and seek out power eternal in this tough as hell, shoot em up masterpiece," Bigmode's website, which also describes...

Earlier this week, Paradox Interactive announced it was canceling Life By You, a simulation game meant to rival Sims in development at Paradox Tectonic. With Rod Humble, a lead designer on The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, leading Tectonic, fans were hopeful about Life By You, which was set to launch into Early Access earlier this month before an indefinite delay. That Early Access launch never happened as Life By You was subsequently canceled, and now, in the same week, Paradox Interactive has announced it is closing Tectonic, as reported by Game Developer.  "This is difficult and drastic news for our colleagues at Tectonic, who've worked hard on Life By You's Early Access release," Paradox Interactive CEO Fredrik Wester writes in a press release. "Sadly, with the cancelation of their sole project, we have to take the tough decision...

Elden Ring's massive expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, goes live tomorrow, on June 21, and ahead of its launch, developer From Software has released a patch that adds new hairstyles, inventory options, balance adjustments, and more. It also allows you to summon your Spectral Steed during the game's final fight (which, if you've beaten that boss, you know how helpful your mount would have been during it).  The patch – V1.12 – is now live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam) and also features hundreds of other changes, like adjustments to weapons, skills, armaments, and general balance-related things.  The highlight of the patch is all of the new features it adds to Elden Ring, and you can check those out below:  New Elden Ring Features In Patch V1.12 Added support for...
