Developed by Eminoma, Team Fortress 2 Classic aims to reclaim the joy of 2008-2009 Team Fortress 2. The devs recently announced its official launch on Twitter, and published a corresponding blog post that expands on what to expect in a bit more detail. “The final day!” reads the tweet. “Day 4 of The Death & Taxes Update, the official release of Team Fortress 2 Classic, is now live!” The blog post offers more clarity - “The moment you’ve all been dying for… or, will die for…” “The Release of Team Fortress 2 Classic, and the brand new update to ship with it, The Death & Taxes Update!...

The quest itself is simple enough. Its prerequisites are not, however. There’s another key mission you’ll have to finish before Lost and Found’s second half opens up. The Ascent Lost and Found | How to start Lost and Found Travel to the Node and speak with Raphael in Karma Logistics. The quest begins after a lengthy cutscene and directs you to Tham’s Gate. Make sure you’re prepared for battle before you go, though....

We started thinking about this and couldn’t stop, because we love thinking about utterly stupid, pointless things. So, as we head into the holiday season, here’s our picks for some of the best Christmas video games - that is to say, games featuring or set during the holiday season. It’s not an exhaustive list, just our favourites - feel free to sound off about yours in the comments. Dead Rising 4 While it’s undoubtedly the worst title in the series, Dead Rising 4 is still an absolutely okay video game - and it’s probably one of the best games at harnessing the energy and trappings of Christmas to enhance its setting....

Also like other Anemo characters, Heizou needs plenty of time on the field if you want his skillset to reach its full potential. Heizou needs Onikabuto Beetles to level up, so bear that in mind if you’re deciding to focus on him or Arataki Itto. The lil’ critters aren’t easy to find. When is the Heizou banner? Heizou’s second banner is part of the second half of Genshin Impact 3....

This morning’s Call of Duty: Warzone patch brought some new loot, and nerfed a couple of the most commonly abused weapons. Though this wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes, the update also made it possible to access the bunkers dotted around the Verdansk map. You may recall that a recent patch introduced an ultra-rare Red Access Card as a loot item. Everyone assumed at the time that those cards will be what allows us to enter the locked bunkers, but the cards didn’t do anything when used....

The Cottage Living Expansion Pack for The Sims 4 allows you to experience a “pastoral existence” in a town called Henford-on-Bagley. While enjoying life in this cozy village, you will be able to do all sorts of things. You can grow your own fruits and vegetables, forage for ingredients in the wild and visit the local village market. Sims can also raise animals in their own yard to get fresh milk from cows, llama wool for crafts, and eggs from chickens....

Works of fan-fiction almost never become enveloped in mainstream news stories surrounding their respective franchises; they’re typically seen as the kind of thing that can make your own playthroughs more interesting, but make shaky grounds for basing theories on. This is what makes recent events surrounding The Witcher series and the School of the Lynx so interesting: it began life as a simple fan-fiction article on The Witcher wiki before suddenly being teleported into the limelight when CD Projekt Red announced its next game....

Titled Shadow Over Morrowind, this year’s story content brings players back to Morrowind to explore places inaccessible since The Elder Scrolls released in 1994. Shadow Over Morrowind tells a story across multiple content releases, beginning with Scribes of Fate DLC in March. It will feature two new four-player PvE dungeons. One will pit you against the acolytes of the Scribes of Mora in Scrivener’s Hall, in the other, you will face the temporal magics of Bal Sunnar....

The GOG summer sale is now live, with the DRM-free store run by CD Projekt offering over 3400 games at various levels of discount, ranging from the modest right up to 90% off. It’s well worth a look - and we can even give you something of a head start. If you head on over to VG247’s landing page on GOG, you’ll find fifty games available on the service that we’ve picked out as stone cold bangers that deserve to be played - and several of them are included in the current discounts for the summer sale....

Before the end of 2020, SNK said that it would show off The King of Fighters 15 for the first time this month. Shortly before the announcement was meant to drop, however, the publisher apologised, saying it has been pushed back. It turns out, the delay wasn’t as big as most of us believed, because SNK has finally showed off the game’s first trailer today. The new game is coming this year, though SNK did not specify any platforms....

In The Last Campfire update, you can expect 20% more puzzles, and the ability to replay any of the puzzles at any time.

The Last Campfire tells the story of Ember, who’s lost his way in the game’s world....

Originally set to release on March 3, it will now arrive for PC on March 28. The studio wants to make sure the PC debut is “in the best shape possible,” thus the reason for the delay. “These additional few weeks will allow us to ensure The Last of Us lives up to your, and our, standards,” read the notice. Confirmed for PC during The Game Awards 2022, the recent remake of The Last of Us, now dubbed Part 1, was released for PS5 in September 2022....

This specifically refers to moment-to-moment play — the cutscenes, obviously, were filmed by real people using facial/motion capture. However, a designer at Naughty Dog recently unveiled that this wasn’t necessarily the case across the board. Roger Clark, who plays Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, posted a tweet about The Last of Us Part 2 capture being the best he has “seen to date.” Check it out below — or read our fascinating interview with Clark about Red Dead Redemption 2....

Naughty Dog’s 2020 survival horror hit may be due to get a PS5 patch, according to someone with a recent history of reliable news leaks. ResetEra forum member Navtra replied to a comment in a PS5 thread stating that “a patch was in the work at some point” for the record-breaking Game of the Year award winner, but they aren’t sure “if it’s still happening or when”. “I’d be surprised if it doesn’t get a patch, though,” they conclude when another user asks if they should hold off buying the PS4 game....

I’m not very sentimental so I’ll keep it brief. I started as editor on VG247 over six and half years ago and it was a very different site back then. We’ve changed the type of content we produce, write and edit on the site, but we still have the same philosophy, I think; To answer questions about video games, to write about the best quality games, and to have fun with it every day....

News that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is coming to next-gen consoles isn’t surprising considering the developer announced it would release on “all relevant platforms at that time.” Still, confirmation is nice. Along with the platforms, the developers also revealed that those who play the game should expect Gollum to look different than he does in the films. Speaking in the latest edition of Edge Magazine, senior producer Kai Fiebig suggests the character will look more like he’s depicted in the novels....

Psychological horror title The Medium releases tomorrow, and we’ve rounded up the review scores for you. In the game, you play as Marianne, a medium haunted by visions who can interact with two worlds: the real, and the spirit world. Her visions have led her to an abandoned hotel in Krakow, the site of a tragedy. Because she is a medium, she can interact with the spirit world in order to solve the mysteries of the hotel....

In this trailer, we see a series of scenes from the game’s single player campaign, featuring Task Force 141 on a variety of missions including a night raid, an infiltration mission where the team uses speedboats to approach an oil rig, as well as some hectic gunfights all with a spin on Metallica’s Everywhere I Roam playing in the background. It’s hard to gleam a huge amount of new info from this trailer, which makes sense considering it’s a short collection of clips meant to get the general gist across rather than explain what’s going on narratively....
