Overwatch 2, the hero shooter of choice for people who haven’t heard of an obscure little indie novelty called Team Fortress 2, has been teasing players with a mysterious character called the Enigma. The hacker has appeared in games and streams to drop hints about the upcoming Invasion story missions, before being revealed in a recent reveal trailer. Spoiler, it’s John Cena.

Those story missions will feature the notorious Null Sector attacking notable world cities Rio de Janeiro, Gothenburg, and I guess Toronto as well. As civilians flee, the violent omnic liberation group begins rounding up robots and the heroes of the Overwatch task force are dispatched to fight back.

The Invasion story missions will be available this month. As Blizzard explains, “On August 10, answer our …

There’s a hint for every one of today’s Connections groups ready and waiting for you just below, giving you just the nudge you need to win. Or if you’re running out of guesses and need a guaranteed save, hop on over to the answers to the September 10 (#91) puzzle. It’s entirely up to you.

Today’s Connections went from smooth to what felt like a full stop at the halfway point, the link between remaining words something of a mystery to me. They would’ve probably stayed that way too if I hadn’t had enough spare guesses remaining to puzzle out that final eight—that was a close one.

The tabletop-inspired roguelike RPG For the King made a very good impression when it arrived in 2018, and the latest trailer for the sequel also looked promising when it arrived in February. Of course, “looked promising” doesn’t always mean much when it comes to how a game actually plays, so the good news is you’ll have a shot at trying it yourself in a beta set to begin later this week.

For the King 2’s closed beta will get underway at 10 am PT/1 pm ET on May 10, and run until the same time on May 16. The beta test will include the first of five adventures planned for the game, with six character classes—blacksmith, scholar, hunter, stableboy, herbalist, and alchemist (the last two unlockable through gameplay)—and support for both singleplayer and multiplayer. It will…

I first played Resident Evil 2 on my cousin’s PlayStation when I was way too young to be doing so—10-year-old me had no business walking around Racoon City at that age. Back then, the grainy images and bloody zombies felt like they would jump out of the screen at me, and the lack of directional control, thanks to the fixed camera angles, was too much for my tiny brain to handle. 

While I can’t say for sure whether my brain has gotten any bigger, I’d like to think that if I were in the same circumstances now, I’d handle myself a lot better and wouldn’t just disintegrate in terror at the sound of Mr X’s footsteps. And as if my prayers have been answered, I can finally test out that theory as modder Enveloping Sounds released a couple of videos showcasing their work on a <…

Embark Studios’ The Finals is one of the most interesting multiplayers to come along for a while. It’s also a brand new game from a new studio, and it unsurprisingly has some issues at launch. Alongside its underwhelming AI-assisted voiceovers, weird bugs, and questionable balance at the start of Season 1, as Morgan has pointed out, it’s a sweaty beast, placing major emphasis on multi-way competitive shooting that can overly rely on being the twitchiest trigger finger, and neglecting the tactical potential of its fantastic destruction tech.

Last week, Embark released an update aimed at improving the game’s skill-based matchmaking, and what followed was a cavalcade of complaints from players on Reddit, claiming that the SBMM changes had ruined the game. Par for the course, then. Mo…

For a lot of Baldur’s Gate 3 fans, the real romantic pairing of the game isn’t between their Tadpoled Adventurer and a companion, or even Raphael and Withers, but rather tiefling Barbarian Karlach and erstwhile infernal smith-turned-heart engine mechanic Dammon. There’s certainly some sparks there in the game, but as reported by GamesRadar, an inaccessible camp scene makes it way more explicit.

If you take a long rest on the Nautiloid crash beach before meeting too many companions, you’ll be treated to a special one-off camp scene where your origin character reckons with their past⁠—we previously reported on how this shakes out with the Dark Urge (spoilers: it’s rad).

When playing with Karlach as your origin character, there’s a normal version of this scene, and …

If you’re struggling a lot with Friday’s Wordle then you’ll probably want to click your way to today’s answer. And if you’re not struggling at all then a quick read of our general tips might help give your daily game a helpful refresh.

I had all the perfectly placed green letters I needed to solve today’s Wordle after just two guesses, so it’s a bit of a shame I briefly went off on a spectacularly wrong tangent on the row after. It’s my own fault, a combination of early morning excitement and temporarily losing the ability to spell basic words causing a completely self-made stumble. Still, at least I made up for it afterwards.

Things weren’t looking great for me today. I had too many grey letters right from the start, and they just kept on coming. They didn’t really stop until there was nothing left for me to try either—nothing left other than today’s answer, that is. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more relieved to see five letters turn green. Phew!
