DayZ is rising from the dead and will leave early access next year

Xbox One port planned, too! The history ofDayZalmost echoes that of rising sports stars or breakout musicians. The game came out of nowhere, rocketed up the sales charts on Steam and then basically burned out in a relatively short manner. That isn’t to say the concept wasn’t great or that the success wasn’t earned, but more that the internet moves at such an astronomically fast pace that the developers were never going to keep up with fan demand....

Disney Lorcana Shimmering Skies Gateway Box is the perfect way to get into the game

Disney Lorcana‘s first set, The First Chapter, was released in August 2023, but despite the massive appeal of Disney’s plethora of characters and movie universes to me as a dad who has watched pretty much every one of their movies, I never picked the TCG up. However, when I asked manufacturer Ravensburger what the best way to get into the game was, it told me that the Shimmering Skies set has changed everything with a brand new Gateway Box that helps you learn the game and prepare to master it....

Palworldseems to be huge a hit— and not a scam, as once feared. Naturally, as a game with creatures to catch, weapons to fire, and bases to build, expanding such features with mods or mod support inPalworldseems like a no-brainer. Sadly,Palworldin its early access form has no mods or mod support.

W!Games seems to have found an interesting solution to this problem: design a whole game universe that not one game will be built on, but rather, a whole series of games....
