News Free DLC Chapter for Celeste Is Coming Soon to PS4
She'll be coming round the mountain
One of last year's best loved indies is Celeste, a great 2D platformer from the makers of TowerFall Ascension.

God of more
Lots of us have played and loved Santa Monica Studio's excellent God of War on PS4.

Review Marvel's Spider-Man: Silver Lining - A Lukewarm End to the City That Never Sleeps Story
Every cloud
The release of Silver Lining marks the conclusion of the City That Never Sleeps expansion for Marvel's Spider-Man, and as a finale, it's a slight letdown. It's clearer now more than ever that a sequel is coming, but leaving so many narrative threads dangling makes for quite an unsatisfying ending to this extra story. Even so, this still...

News Evil Ryu Arrives in Street Fighter V as DLC Character

The Capcom Pro Tour has concluded with the confirmation of a new Street Fighter V character: Evil Ryu. Except it’s not really Evil Ryu at all – it’s a dude called Kage (pronounced ‘car-gay’).

Prove yourself, luchador
Guacamelee! 2 was released back at the end of August, and it was another great Mexican adventure with Juan.

Poll Do You Buy and Play Single Player Story DLC?
Extended adventures
Square Enix hosted a livestream this week in which the company shockingly cancelled multiple planned Final Fantasy XV expansion packs. While the decision was primarily motivated by the departure of director Hajime Tabata, it has raised an interesting conversation about the viability of story-based, single player DLC packs...
News Yes, 2B Can Lose Her Clothes in SoulCalibur VI, Just Like She Can in NieR: Automata
There's always a butt
New gameplay footage of 2B in SoulCalibur VI has emerged, and despite the preview being around 20 minutes long, not much is actually shown. We get a good look at 2B's accompanying stage -- which is certainly pretty -- and a quick glimpse of several moves, but it would have been nice to see an actual fight. Ah well, all in good...

News X Games DLC Brings Fresh Events and More to Steep on PS4
Sick
Remember Steep? Ubisoft's freeform winter sports game didn't exactly rock the boat when it launched a couple of years back, but it's a fun title with plenty to do, and more is being added over time. The latest DLC brings the X Games to the Alaskan slopes, adding a competitive flair and lots of new events and challenges to tackle. As you can...
Review Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist - More of the Same
With great power comes great repetition?
Publishers are pretty risk-averse when it comes to a major new release – and for good reason. Video games are expensive, and you don't want anything getting in the way of a return on that lofty sum of cash you've put forward just to make your game happen. But surely DLC gives you a chance to tear up the...
News Ni no Kuni II's First Major DLC Now Has a Name
Still no date though
For fans of Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, it's been a painfully long wait to hear more about the RPG's season pass. It was more than four months after the game's release before we got any kind of information, and even that was worryingly vague. However, Bandai Namco has at last coughed up another sliver of detail on the first...
News Spintires: Mudrunner Expansion American Wilds Adds New Vehicles and Maps
And plenty more mud
We quite liked Spintires: Mudrunner, a sort of off-road driving simulator about delivering timber across some of the worst terrain known to man. Its slow pace and unforgiving realism means it isn't for everyone, but as with other games of this ilk, there's a certain satisfaction in learning the intricacies and doing a good job...
News Insomniac Details Spider-Man PS4 The Heist DLC Ahead of Launch
New suits shown off too
The adventure in Marvel's Spider-Man is set to continue for the next few months as its season of DLC, The City That Never Sleeps, begins to roll out.

News Insomniac on Spider-Man PS4 DLC: Are People Ever Satisfied with How Much You Give Them?
The answer is no
Insomniac Games seems to be pre-empting some kind of backlash to its first DLC pack for Marvel’s Spider-Man, as when asked to describe the scope of the expansion, creative director Bryan Intihar pondered whether people will ever be satisfied with how much content is included. To be fair, gamers can be a demanding lot, and no...
News Destiny 2: Forsaken Will Include Previous Two Expansions Starting Next Week
Bundled into one package
Destiny 2: Forsaken launched last month, but in order to play it, you need the base Destiny 2 game as well as its two Expansion Pass expansions, Curse of Osiris and Warmind. However, starting from next week, on the 16th October, Forsaken will actually include Curse of Osiris and Warmind as standard. Buy that, and you own...
News Firewall Zero Hour DLC Oscar Mike This Month
New playstyles available
We thought Firewall Zero Hour was solid yet unspectacular, but it seems the game’s community disagrees with us – passionately. This has become one of the games that PlayStation VR owners rally around, and it’s good to see it remain in the spotlight a month or so removed from release. So what’s new, then? Some fresh...
News Red Dead Redemption 2 Timed Exclusive PS4 Content Revealed
It's f**king nothing.gif
Sony’s got the marketing deal for Red Dead Redemption 2, which means timed exclusive trinkets for PlayStation 4 owners.

News Spider-Man PS4 DLC to Give Fans Something Fresh
New York still needs you
A great game will often leave you longing for more, and Marvel’s Spider-Man is a shining example of that. While it’s a relatively painless Platinum Trophy to acquire, we’ve been staggered by the number of players who’ve already seen the title through to 100 per cent completion – especially when you consider just...
News Overcooked 2 DLC Surf 'n' Turf Releases Today on PS4
New chefs, kitchens, and recipes
The original Overcooked received a couple of small DLC packs, so it's nice to see the sequel is getting the same treatment.

TGS 2018 The Leak Was 100% Right, Android 17 Is the Last DLC Character for Dragon Ball FighterZ
A new stage is coming too
Android 17, as he's seen in Dragon Ball Super, is the final additional character coming Dragon Ball FighterZ (unless Bandai Namco announces a second season of DLC, obviously). He's set to launch alongside Cooler later this month, and we would assume that we're going to get a confirmed date during Tokyo Game Show 2018. A...

Big fat Greek roadmap
As previously reported, Ubisoft has big plans for Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

The story of Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu may be over, but that won't stop the Dragon of Dojima from nabbing a cameo appearance in Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. Well, kind of. For a limited time (from the 2nd October, when the game launches, to the 15th October), you'll be able to download a Kiryu skin for free. That's...
News Kam’lanaut of Final Fantasy XI Is the Next DLC Character for Dissidia NT
Who?
Look, we never really played Final Fantasy XI, so we're not even sure who this guy is, but we do like his outfit. The awkwardly named Kam’lanaut will join Dissidia Final Fantasy NT as its next DLC character, Square Enix has announced. He's due to release in late October. So, er, are you looking forward to Kam’lanaut? Grow...
Poll What Do You Think of Destiny 2: Forsaken?
Is there light in the darkness?
Destiny 2: Forsaken has been out for a couple of days now, and we must admit that we've been enjoying it. We've been hot and cold with Destiny 2 for months, its two smaller expansions failing to draw us back in for more than just a few sessions here and there. But right now, Forsaken feels like a turning point...
