If you genuinely need someplace to stay in real life, Iâm afraid I canât help you. But I can point you toward a free castle in Cyrodiilâs idyllic north country.

But if this is your very first time journeying into this 2017 title or if itâs been a number of years since you last visited Hyrule in this game, there a few essential tips worth remembering during the first few hours of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. – Billy Givens Read More

Who doesnât love free player housing? If youâre a thief, any of the cityâs homes will suffice as a temporary base of operations.

Itâs a DLC player home packaged with the remaster that offers money-making opportunities and a home away from home when you need to branch out on your own away from the Thieves Guild.

From Software stealthily updated Elden Ring Nightrein last week, adding enhanced versions of bosses called Everdark Sovereigns.
These new threats have retained some of their existing moves from their normal forms, but they feature brand new behavior patterns and attacks. There will be one Everdark Sovereign (ES) per week, and they will cycle. The first one is a new version of Adel, Baron of Night, and this limited-time event lasts until June 25 at 9PM ET. – George Yang Read More
