Sad, but true – Metallica are headlining Fortnite, marking the ideal point for your dad to get into it

Right, so having been played at every sporting event known to man and put out some undeniably incredible thrash bangers back in the day, Metallica are now doing what everything that exists in our world must – pop up in Fortnite, via an update that launches today, June 13.

To be fair, being in a mosh pit filled with folks in Fallout’s T-60 power armour as James Hetfield and co belt out Enter Sandman loud enough to shatter your eardrums through your helmet sounds like a pretty good time. Just make sure you don’t accidentally step on anyone’s toes with your metal boots.

As announced via a blog post, Fortnite Festival Season 4 will feature a bunch of Metallica-themed stuff to celebrate the fact they’re performing in the mode on June 22 and 23. “Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury” is the name of their set in the mode, with Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, and The Unforgiven looking like they’ll be part of the initial tracklist.

If you’re looking forward to digging into Starfield’s Shattered Space expansion when it arrives later this month, you’re in luck, as Bethesda’s just put out a fresh deep-dive video that sees some of the DLC’s developers talk you through what you’ll be in for when you head off to discover what on Earth’s up with…

PS5 Pro’s biggest problem isn’t its price, it’s the PS6

Claudio Ctin

Much like Premier League football clubs signing new players on ridiculous length contracts to (here comes a simplified and likely incorrect statement) spread the cost and avoid coming foul of financial fair play rules, I’ve started to look at the PS5 Pro as a cost/reward per year-type situation. In the end, it all comes down…

A Professor Layton game you almost definitely haven’t played has been saved and is getting an unofficial translation, all thanks to a phone that looks like it survived a house fire

You’ve probably never played Professor Layton and the Mansion of the Deathly Mirror, but thanks to some dedicated fans, you might soon be able to. Prior to the advent of smartphones, Japan was very ahead of the game when it came to mobile phones. They could do things that are commonplace these days like email,…

With that big Helldivers 2 patch now imminent, Arrowhead’s dropped the bomb, the 500KG’s blasts will finally be as powerful as they look

Claudio Ctin

Helldivers 2’s much-hyped next patch drops tomorrow, September 17, and Arrowhead’s saved something fairly special for the patch note reveal that’ll likely round out the list of major changes it’s letting us know about ahead of time. You know the 500KG bomb? It sounds like everyone’s longstanding gripe with it has been sorted. If you…

Claudio Ctin

Arrowhead added a couple of extra bullet points to the list of changes we know are coming as part of Helldivers 2’s big patch tomorrow over the weekend. The big one? The eruptor’s finally getting its shrapnel back, and hopefully in a form that should make you less likely to accidentally do yourself in when…

Getting wound up by badly behaving Deadlock players? Good news, Valve has added in some features to help stop annoying players getting away with anything they want

Getting wound up by badly behaving Deadlock players? Good news, Valve has added in some features to help stop annoying players getting away with anything they want

Claudio Ctin

Deadlock is still early in development, so some players have been able to play however they like without any kind of punishment – but the newest update should stop that. Valve is working on a brand new shooter, one of the hero variety, if you hadn’t heard, but it being still in the testing phase…

Claudio Ctin

It turns out the Watch Dogs movie is in production, and in fact has already wrapped on filming. Much like the Minecraft movie and the Borderlands movie, the Watch Dogs movie has been in the works for about a decade now, though unlike the Minecraft movie which finally received a trailer last week, and the…

Stay calm, OG Final Fantasy 7 fans, Remake Part 3 won’t “betray” you, but like the first two, don’t expect everything to go the way you think

Claudio Ctin

It’s still a bit unclear how Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will end, and the game’s producer hasn’t made that much clearer in a recent interview. When Final Fantasy 7 Remake came out back in 2020, players who hadn’t been spoiled by Square Enix’s spoilerific trailers quickly discovered that the game actually wasn’t a…

Claudio Ctin

Absurd Ventures, the company formed by longtime Rockstar mainstay Dan Houser a few years ago, has announced that it’s formed a fresh studio under its umbrella. The studio, called Absurd Marin, comes with a starting staff of several former developers of Ascendant Studios’ ill-fated Immortals of Aveum. Yep, that’s the Immortals of Aveum that came…

Claudio Ctin

Yesterday, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead revealed the next Warbond that’ll be arriving in the game, Chemical Agents, which is set to kick up a stink when it drops on September 19. Part of this latest Warbond are a couple of stratagem variants – the TX-41 Sterilizer and the AX/TX-13 ‘Guard Dog’ Dog Breath – with…
