Delta Force’s mission has always been to incorporate player feedback to create the best experience possible for its players. As Delta Force players prepare for the free-to-play first-person tactical shooter’s second anniversary, the developers at Team Jade have been hard at work, listening to two years of player feedback as the game has evolved since its initial PC launch, since coming to mobile and Xbox Series X|S. The second-anniversary celebration kicks off September 26th, with daily tasks that offer players the chance to grab up to 3900 limited-time Delta Tickets, and new collectibles like a new legendary appearance for the AUG, called Golden State. But Team Jade also has big plans for the game's future content, which includes anniversary rewards, a suite of new gameplay experiences, and quality-of-life improvements. Delta Force is getting a serious – and seriously major – upgrade. The roadmap is evidence of how Delta Force uses community feedback to expand the range of ways pl...

Insomniac Games has published a new Marvel's Wolverine update that adds an option to turn off those controversial scent trails for collectibles. The Sony developer made good on its promise to investigate a proper on/off option when version 1.001.006 launched just hours ago. Its patch notes reveal more targeted changes as the studio works out the remaining kinks that have emerged in the days since Marvel's Wolverine launched for PlayStation 5. There are three new toggle settings that players can now use to customize their gameplay experience: one for Whiskey Bottle scent trails, one for Material Crate Audio Clues, and one for Nightmare Door Roots. Those first two proved to be an especially hot topic online, with players criticizing in-game hints as one of a few examples of a game many feel is too 'hand-holdy.' Adding the option to completely turn these guides off should quiet those concerns, with a toggle for Nightmare Door Roots adding even more freedom for players t...

Silent Hill has appeared in the restless dreams of horror fans for almost three decades now. The foggy town and its various iterations, plagued by the Otherworld, continue to define the mechanics and ambience of psychological horror to this day. Each Silent Hill game contains a relatively standalone story, tied to whatever character the Otherworld has decided to bring to its doorstep. However, the lore of Silent Hill develops across games through returning characters as well as memos, posters, and other small details. Despite its fill of contradictions, some of which are only natural for games with multiple endings, there’s a larger story lurking in the background of each protagonist’s path to atonement (or madness). If the release of Silent Hill: Townfall has sparked your curiosity about how the timeline all fits together, we’ve got you covered. Note: This is not a timeline of the town of Silent Hill, which is revealed throughout games, comics, books, and other supplementary materi...

I find myself in a weird place with EA Sports FC 27. On one hand, worthwhile strategic elements have finally been added that reflect real-world tactics in a concise, intuitive way. On the other hand, the promised improvements to the behavior and pathing of computer-controlled players on the field still ring hollow, carrying over many of the same issues the series has had for over a decade. Couple this with the dreaded introduction of open-world elements via The Grounds, and the result is yet another year where nearly positive change is balanced out by a negative one.Ever since NBA 2K14 introduced MyPark, which eventually evolved into The Neighborhood in NBA 2K18 and The City in NBA 2K21, I figured it was only a matter of time before EA brought a similar open world full of activities to its other sports franchises. While The Grounds isn't without merit, it often feels like EA is trying to solve a problem that didn't really exist. After hours of exploring The Grounds, it’s clear ...

I was a bit stunned to hear there's a new single-player story campaign for Warcraft 3 in 2026 – 23 years after its last expansion, The Frozen Throne . And after the uneven Warcraft 3 Reforged, I was even more surprised at how much I ended up enjoying Forsaken Kingdom and its accompanying changes. It's honestly great to be back looking down at Azeroth's moody champions and impressive cities from a raven's eye view considering Blizzard hasn't given single-player RTS fans anything new to chew on since 2016's Starcraft II: Nova Covert Ops. This expansion maintains the feel of classic Warcraft 3 while mixing in some new ideas, and while it doesn’t hit the highs of Reign of Chaos or The Frozen Throne, that's something I might never run out of appetite for. This review will cover three main additions to Reforged that all arrived together: the Forsaken Kingdom single-player campaign expansion itself, the Forsaken Paladin multiplayer hero, and the "Definitive E...
