It often feels like the entire world around you is conspiring to bring about your demise. On Arrakis, that’s true.

During Destiny 2's The Edge of Fate main story quest, you'll often find red chests around the new planet of Kepler that require in-depth knowledge of an unfamiliar language. This unfamiliar language is the Aeonian people's mother tongue, and during the early stages of being on their planet, you won't have any idea what they're saying. Your new friend Lodi has a basic understanding of their language, but there are location-specific abilities that you can unlock in order to further bond with them as well as open these chests.

As you progress through The Edge of Fate's campaign missions, you'll be asked to meet with the Dean, Rebecca. She will send you on a short quest to take down a few enemies and gather some information. At the end of this task, you'll be rewarded with the Rosetta equipment. The Rosetta allows you to understand the Aeonian language on a surface level, as well as open the chests that were previously inaccessible.

As you progress further through the campaign you can complete some missions in any order you choose. To maximize the amount of these chests you can open, we recommend focusing on any missions that reward Rosetta upgrades. The more you upgrade the Rosetta, the more Aeonian language you can speak and understand, and the more secrets on Kepler you can uncover.

CD Projekt Red is hosting a live stream tomorrow, July 16, to talk about the next update to Cyberpunk 2077.

There is a twinkling sound every time you turn on the original Destiny that lives on in the hearts of anyone who spent hundreds of hours playing it.

Since my review of 150 hours spent in Starfield at launch, my opinion on the game has only soured.

Xbox developer Rare, which today is best known for Sea of Thieves, has commented on the recent mass layoffs at Microsoft that led to the cancellation of the studio's long-in-development project Everwild.

As part of the Sea of Thieves developer update video for July, Rare production director Drew Stevens started off by addressing the layoffs. "It would be strange to jump straight into our usual updates without acknowledging the news that we've ended development on Everwild here at Rare," Stevens said (via GamesRadar).

The game was formally revealed all the way back in November 2019, but beyond a trailer for it in 2020, updates on it have been almost non-existent. Sources said Rare was unable to find the right direction for Everwild, and now it's no longer in development.

The cancellation of Everwild didn't "directly impact" Sea of Thieves, Stevens added, mentioning that development is continuing as planned. "Our focus as a team and a studio is on supporting our friends and colleagues whose roles are at risk," Stevens said.

The developer went on to say that it's "impossible for something like this not to ripple through the studio and affect all of us in some way or another, so please bear with us."

"I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's reached out to check in on us and share their kind words of support. Genuinely, thank you, it really means a lot," Stevens said.

Players anticipating the co-op horror shooter Killing Floor 3 are a little concerned about the state of the game ahead of its launch on July 24, as a recent play test a little over a week before launch required players sign a five-year non-disclosure agreement in order to participate.

The stress test occurred on Sunday during two, two-hour sessions, during which players could request access through Steam. However, the fine-print of an NDA required in order to play raised some eyebrows. As revealed in a post on Reddit, in addition to agreeing to not take screenshots or record gameplay of developer Tripwire Interactive's upcoming shooter, players had to agree to not discuss the test for five years.

While NDAs are not unusual when playing early builds of games, the fact that the test required one when the full game is slated to launch close to a week later caught many players by surprise. It's possible the five years-distinction was legal verbiage copied and pasted from previous, older playtests, but it still doesn't inspire confidence.

Outside of the gaming realm, T-Pain has made a name for himself as a Grammy award-winning singer and rapper. But inside the world of The Sims 4, T-Pain is going to be a fairy while hosting a livestream of the game.

On Thursday, July 17, T-Pain will show off The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature expansion pack in a stream called "He Was a Fairy in The Sims." Not only will T-Pain be a fairy in the livestream, but fans will also be able find that skin in The Sims 4 Gallery immediately following the event.

T-Pain will be joined in the livestream by gaming content creator itsmetroi. EA is hinting at some surprises that will be unveiled during the event without offering many details as to what they may entail.

The Enchanted by Nature expansion allows players to enter a fantasy-filled forest where they can live alongside magical creatures and even become a fairy if they choose to do so. Fairies are able to get their pick of wings with customized painting, tattoos, and other personalized touches. The game also gives fairies special powers to affect the plants of the forest, bring gnomes to life, and change the mood of other characters.

"The Sims has always felt like pure magic to me," said T-Pain in a statement. "It's so fun every time I play. There's so much you can do, and now that you can be a fairy in The Sims 4, it opens up the game to a whole new level of adventure. I know we're going to have a good time on this livestream, and I'm excited to swirl my way through all of the challenges as a Fairy!"

The "He Was a Fairy in The Sims" livestream will be available to watch on Twitch and YouTube on July 17 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET.

I spent a good chunk of my weekend combing through GPU deals like these. I don't really need a new graphics card, but seeing prices drop by almost half gets my curiosity going. It’s not even just the big names like the RTX 5090 or the Radeon RX 7900 XT, even refurbished cards look tempting when they’re going for hundreds less. I know some folks hesitate with renewed products, but I’ve had solid luck so far. Last year, I grabbed a renewed RTX 4070 super and it’s been running steady since. I guess it’s that mix of curiosity and trying not to miss out that keeps me scrolling through these lists. Here's the best deals I can find for your latest rig upgrade:

World of Warcraft's next major update is coming August 5, and now Blizzard has revealed two surprise quality-of-life changes that will arrive alongside the new content and season--a bank overhaul and a major update to Valorstones.

As announced in a forum post, in the Ghosts of K'aresh update, banks are getting a significant facelift. For as long as Blizzard's MMORPG has existed (that is, over 20 years), players have had to purchase additional bag bank slots and then place bags within them to get more storage. That will no longer be the case come update 11.2, which will replace bag slots with purchasable storage tabs more similar to stash tabs from Blizzard's Diablo series.

From grabbing the wheel of a big rig, to taking some time out from racing to snap eye-catching photos, there’s no shortage of things you can get into while free roaming in Mario Kart World. One of these is finding question mark panels located around each of the game’s tracks. If you want to earn the stickers they…

Sloclap, the developers behind the recent hit sports title Rematch, have confirmed that cross-play is still a "top priority" to the team as it continues fine-tuning the game and adding much requested features.

In an interview with Eurogamer, the studio's CEO Pierre Tarno shared that cross-play, which was meant to ship with the game at launch, is among a laundry list of social features the team hopes to add to the game over time. These include spectating friends' games, and, ironically given the game's name, the ability to call for rematches.

These features reinforce the first of what Tarno calls Rematch's four core overhaul pillars, defined as "social, core gameplay, competitive, and casual," per Eurogamer.

Players only became aware of Rematch's missing cross-play functionality a day prior to launch, when Sloclap shared the news on the game's social pages, clarifying at the time that it was one of its "top priorities for upcoming updates."

While there's still no concrete timing on cross-play's addition, Sloclap seems to understand how urgently Rematch's community wants the feature, but is currently fixing a lot of bugs while iterating on the game's foundation to "keep adding depth and granularity to the mechanics."

Snapshot Games' Frosthaven (which I'll henceforth refer to as Frosthaven Digital) is a video game version of the tabletop game of the same name. Frosthaven's predecessor, Gloomhaven, got a similar digital version in 2021 (which was helmed by Flaming Fowl Studios). Unlike games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077, which adapt mechanics and themes from their tabletop inspirations (Dungeons & Dragons and Cyberpunk RED, respectively) to create a unique gameplay experience, Frosthaven Digital is just Frosthaven--it's the board game minus the need to meet up with friends physically. For someone like me, who primarily hangs out with people virtually, Frosthaven Digital is a boon. I've wanted to introduce the board game to friends for a while, and this lets me without us all having to meet up in person to do it.

Gloomhaven Digital was well-received when it came out, and the fanbase has been eager to see Frosthaven make the jump to digital as well. Among the excitement, however, has been a recurring concern: Will Frosthaven Digital have an undo feature? In person, when you make a mistake while playing a tabletop game, the only thing stopping you from fixing it is you and your friends. That's not necessarily the case for a video game if there's no option to do so. In Gloomhaven Digital, it was possible to restart an entire encounter if you wanted, but there was no way to simply start your turn over or undo your last action. It was frustratingly awful, with misclicks resulting in a wasted turn. Fans have wondered if Frosthaven Digital will follow suit, and thankfully, it's not.
