Tactical shooter fans, brace yourselves Delta Force: Black Hawk Down just landed, and it’s getting roasted on Steam. Team Jade’s free-to-play remake of the 2003 classic launched last week to a "Mostly Negative" rating, with gimmers tearing into its punishing difficulty, shaky performance, and "nightmare" AI. Here’s why this Delta Force revival’s crashing harder than a chopper in Mogadishu.

Heads up, assassins! It seems Assassin's Creed Shadows has slipped into the wild before its big debut, with gameplay clips popping up online. Ubisoft’s jumping in fast, warning that these leaks are from an unpolished build—not the final ninja masterpiece hitting shelves soon. In an official statement, Ubisoft said: “We’ve noticed some players have gotten their hands on Assassin's Creed Shadows ahead of its release. Our team’s still grinding away on patches to perfect the launch experience. What’s out there now? That’s not the polished game we’re delivering.” They’ve got a plea for the community too: “Leaks suck—they can kill the hype for everyone. Please don’t spoil it for your fellow gimmers!”

When you drop into Fortnite from the Battle Bus, luck can make or break your game. You’re scrambling to loot chests, hoping for those rare, high-tier weapons to dominate the match. But let’s be real—sometimes you’re stuck with basic grey or green gear longer than you’d like, and that’s where skill (and a little strategy) comes in. If you’ve got gold or Dill Bits burning a hole in your inventory, Fortnite’s Black Markets are your ticket to upgrading your arsenal fast. Introduced in Chapter 6 Season 2, these shady trading spots let you swap resources for powerful weapons and items—no chest RNG required.

FromSoftware made a surprising decision to distance itself from Sony when developing Dark Souls, and according to former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida, the reason was simple: disappointment.During the development of Demon’s Souls, FromSoftware collaborated with Sony Japan Studio, initially planning for Sony to publish the game worldwide.

Instead, Atlus published the game in North America, while Bandai Namco handled its European release.

The much-anticipated Elden Ring: Nightreign network test has hit a major snag, leaving eager players frustrated. This three-player co-op roguelite spin-off was set to kick off its first round of testing today, but technical issues have derailed the experience.FromSoftware originally scheduled three-hour testing sessions, allowing registered players to get an early taste of the game. However, for those lucky enough (or unlucky, in this case) to land a spot in the February 14, 6 a.m. session, the only thing they got to experience was server crashes.
