Eight years since his last adventure Styx the goblin is sneaking back to star in his fourth game.
The new game, titled Blades of Greed, was announced at Nacon Connect and is going to release on PS5, Xbox Series S/X and PC sometime in Fall of this year.
“Developed once again by Cyanide Studio, Styx: Blades of Greed is a blend of stealth, action and strategy set in a vertically expansive medieval fantasy world,” says the press release. “Staying true to its winning formula, the game offers open-ended environments, a vast range of powers and tools, and multiple approaches to completing objectives. The mission? Steal Quartz, a rare and magical resource, while eliminating enemies with skill and precision.”
The trailer quickly captures the slightly budget, corny vibe of the last two games. It also shows off Styx utilising some crazy powers that seem to stem from the Quartz crystal he’s holding, including mind-control and time manipulation. The screenshots released also show Styx using a glider to get around.
While the Styx games have never been critical darlings, they’ve gained a bit of a following for being stealth-focused games, a genre that doesn’t get a lot of love these days. I had a pretty good time with them, and I’m eager to see what Cyanide do with the series after so long.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was officially announced earlier this week and while it looks to be a great remake of some popular PS2-era skateboarding games, one big change involving timed challenges in THPS4 might be a dealbreaker for some players.
Unboxing The Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition
After some teases and rumors, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was announced on March 4. The game, like 2020’s THPS 1+2, is a full remake of two past games from the Tony Hawk franchise, specifically Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4. The new remake is being developed by Iron Galaxy and is set to launch in July. And while it will feature the old maps, songs, skaters, and tricks fans remember from the classic games, there will be at least one big change involving THPS 4’s career mode.
Kotaku was able to confirm with Activision that THPS 3+4 will not include the original career mode seen in the OG version of THPS4 on the PS2. Instead, like in the first three games, each THPS4 level will feature a list of challenges to complete in a 2-minute run.
This isn’t how it worked in the original THPS4. That game let players skate around levels freely and find challenges to complete. While many of these challenges did have timers, between those challenges players were free to skate around, explore, and collect money.
When news of this first broke on the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater subreddit, there was a lot of disappointment from fans of THPS4. They had hoped that the more freeform career mode—which later evolved into the open world of Tony Hawk’s Underground—would be recreated for the new remake. That’s not the case.
There will still be a free skate option in THPS4 levels, letting you freely skate around and explore, but you won’t able to complete level challenges in that mode. For some players this is a dealbreaker, with some complaints stating that this game is really just a remake of THPS3 with levels from THPS4 added in as a bonus.
Personally, as someone who always found THPS4 to be the oddball of the classic games—not as good as THPS3 and not as fresh as THUG—I’m not too upset about these changes. But I can understand that for fans of THPS4, the changes to career mode are a big bummer.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 launches July 11 on Xbox, Game Pass, PlayStation, Switch, and PC.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s new update, Tales of Agrabah, brings a ton of new cosmetics, items, decorative items, quests, and characters. The update also includes a new Star path, a seasonal pass through which players can earn several rewards. One of the most unique rewards in the new The Oasis Retreat Star Path is a Relaxing Capybara Companion. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock Relaxing Capybara Companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How to Unlock Relaxing Capybara Companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The Relaxing Capybara Companion is one of the redeemable rewards in the The Oasis Retreat Star Path. Meaning, it can only be obtained from progressing in the new Star Path. The Oasis Retreat Star Path contains several rewards divided among 7 tiers. You can redeem the rewards using the Event Currency, which is the Tranquil Tokens. Fortunately, the very first tier of the Star Path includes the Relaxing Capybara Companion. You can redeem it for 50 Tranquil Tokens.
You can earn the Tranquil Tokens by completing the daily duties of the Star Path. There are 3 daily duties that players can complete per day with the Regular Star Path, and completing each duty will reward players with 5 tokens. However, the players who have the Premium Star Path will have access to 6 daily duties allowing them to farm the tokens quickly.
Upon earning the event currency of the Star Path, go into the Star Path menu and select the ‘Rewards’ tab to redeem the Relaxing Capybara Companion. Since Relaxing Capybara is a capybara, players will be able to feed it its favorite food, which is Cabbage.
Now, keep in mind that like many exclusive previous companions who were a part of the Star Paths, Relaxing Capybara is also time-limited and players can redeem it until the Star Path’s ending time, which is April 16, 2025.

The Grand Theatre is an awesome Baldur’s Gate 3 custom campaign that takes players to a horror-themed rock concert. Released in its 1.0 form, the brilliant campaign is far from done as a brand-new update is coming that will add a wealth of additional content.
Alongside other campaigns in development that add additional companions, The Grand Theatre is adding brand-new experiences to BG3. However, the mod’s upcoming update might house its most exciting content yet.
Baldur’s Gate 3 mod brings back BG2 boss
As revealed on Discord, The Grand Theatre Version 1.1 is targeting an April 2025 release date.
Modder Moezilla revealed that the new update will bring a full questline for three of the game’s six quests, new items to use and a bunch of additional dialogue to consume. But there’s also an awesome return of a character from Baldur’s Gate 2.
As revealed in the Discord announcement, The Grand Theatre’s 1.1 update will bring back Kangaxx the Demi-Lich, a powerful boss from the second game. In the now two-decade-old RPG, players were tasked with reassembling and then destroying the Demi-Lich’s body in an awesome story moment.
Of course, it’s not known how the boss fight will play out in the new Baldur’s Gate 3 custom campaign, but it’s incredibly exciting. After all, the brilliant combat of Larian’s game blows BioWare’s classic out of the water, and a reimagining of Kangaxx could be something truly special.
Players of The Grand Theatre custom campaign will be able to engage in early QA sessions before the actual release date. Additionally, modder Moezilla is looking for additional fans to help bring the campaign to life.

After a few years of hinting that The Last of Us Part 3 might be in the works, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann seems to have a change of heart. In an interview with Variety about Season 2 of the The Last of Us television show Neil is asked about a third game.
“I was waiting for this question,” Druckmann says, sighing, when I bring up the prospect of a third game. “I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it.”
Neil himself had previously said he does have a idea for Part 3. “I don’t have a story, but I do have that concept,” he stated back in February 2024. “That, to me, is as exciting as one, as exciting as two, is its own thing, yet has this through line for all 3. So it does feel like… there’s probably one more chapter to this story.”
Further back in 2021 Druckmann said he had the outline of a story and there had been “quite a bit” of discussion about the game.
This is not the first time Naughty Dog have done this, after the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Naughty Dog Creative Director Shaun Escayg said “To say the Uncharted world is done… I doubt that highly,” and then a few years later, we were told quite bluntly they were “done” with franchise.
Naughty Dog’s next new game and franchise is Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a game that will see the studio leap into the realms of science fiction with a setting thousands of years in the future. However they have stated they are working on “multiple” single player games but clearly not Uncharted or The Last of Us.
The Variety interview also gives us a few hints of what to expect from Season 2 of the television show and from what Bella Ramsey is saying, that scene will be in this series.
“I’m scared of some of the bigger emotional scenes, leaving not satisfied with my performance,” she says, before explaining that that for “the darkest scene this season”, they listened to the song Peanut Butter Jelly Time. Why they did that is not explained, it’s a very shouty upbeat song and certainly not what would pop in to your head when someone’s head is po…. let’s not finish that sentence. “I was on the floor, my eyes absolutely burning with these menthol tears, and I’m just saying, ‘Peanut Butter Jelllll-y,’” adds Bella.
It is also revealed we will meet Eugene, played by Joe Pantoliano, a character who is only referenced in the game as the owner of the canabis den in which Ellie and Dina spend a night in.
Eren Chronicles has launched Zamanora: Ballad of the Witch, a new tabletop role-playing game setting inspired by Slavic and Balkan folklore, on Kickstarter. The campaign, which went live on Tuesday, has already surpassed $120,000 in funding within its first day, making it one of the most notable Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaigns of the year.
Zamanora transports players and Dungeon Masters into a world of rural communities, dark forests, and vengeful witches. The setting is designed to support both Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons 5e and 2024 editions, as well as Legend In The Mist, the rustic fantasy RPG from Son of Oak Game Studio that was recently voted the Most Anticipated TTRPG of 2025.
The Zamanora setting draws heavily from Slavic and Balkan folklore, offering players a chance to explore a world where cautionary tales come to life. Players can create characters from fantastical local creatures such as the mischievous Chorts and the spectral Huants. The setting also introduces unique subclasses, including the Bogatyr fighter, Guslar bard, and Hearth-domain cleric, allowing for thematic storytelling deeply tied to the region’s traditions.
Two new magic systems are introduced in Zamanora: Poppet Magic, a manipulative form of spellcasting, and Ceremonial Magic, which enables non-casters to perform magical rituals. These systems provide fresh ways for players to engage with the game world.
The setting features a variety of mythical creatures familiar to fans of Slavic and Balkan folklore, such as the leshy, baba yaga, and kikimora. These beings are joined by a host of other monsters, each accompanied by detailed descriptions and lore.
The Zamanora Kickstarter offers a range of rewards for backers, from digital PDFs to deluxe collector’s editions. Pledge tiers include options for digital content, physical books, and various accessories. The Core, Deluxe, and Collector’s Boxes include items such as dice, a GMless adventure deck, Baba Yaga miniatures, a DM screen, a monster deck, an illustrated slipcase, and a hand-knitted plushie.
A free demo of the Zamanora setting is available for download on the Kickstarter page, allowing potential backers to explore the world before committing to a pledge.
For more information or to support the project, visit the Zamanora: Ballad of the Witch Kickstarter page.

JSA Support Pack: The Auxiliary Regiment
The Japanese Secessionist Army (JSA) gains new support options with the Tokusetsu Butai, or Auxiliary Regiment. This unit provides essential medical and technical services, ensuring that the JSA’s front-line forces remain effective. The pack highlights the JSA’s emphasis on a balanced approach to warfare, where support units play a critical role.
Nomads Action Pack: A Faction of Free Spirits
The Nomads, known for their independent and unconventional nature, join the battlefield with their own Action Pack. Originating from three massive spaceships that travel the Human Sphere, the Nomads challenge established norms and offer a unique playstyle. Their focus on creativity and adaptability makes them an appealing choice for players seeking a different approach to the game.
