The leaked expansion to the looter shooter that came out roughly seven years ago launched last night and is completely free for all players until July 9th. With the ever-growing hype surrounding Borderlands 3 consuming a vast portion of many gamer’s brain stems, it seems like an almost obvious idea for 2K and Gearbox to return to the beloved second …

The idea was simple: Final Fantasy VII’s soundtrack, performed live by an orchestra on the eve of E3 2019. What could possibly go wrong? A LOT!

Xbox Game Pass is available on PC, and it’s an astounding bit of value, as I’ve already detailed. When I wrote about that, some people very helpfully pointed out that the list of games available to use in South Africa was limited, with just 63 of the 109 games available. Obviously, this would be a big problem, as Game Pass would become reduced value proposition. The one game I was most excited for, Metro Exodus, was not in the list of games available to Game Pass PC users in South Africa, which was upsetting.

Square Enix has yet to host their conference, which you’ll be able to watch tomorrow morning in South Africa at the ungodly hour of 3AM. If you were planning to watch that purely for the release date for the first bit of the Final Fantasy VII remake, then you needn’t bother. Square’s Tetsuya Nomura took to the stage at a special E3 concert dedicated to Final Fantasy 7 in Los Angeles last night and revealed the release date for the first episode: March 3, 2020.

So where does DOOM Eternal go from here? If you’re Bethesda, the answer is obvious: More of the same, dialled up to 11 and a chance to flex your wings as the level design gives way to more open arenas in which to shed blood. All this, and some stunning new visual tech that makes DOOM Eternal look like a devilishly good time. Don’t just take my word for it! See for yourself in the trailer below that is ready to crack some skulls.

Being developed by Arkane Studio, who are famed for their intricate and beautifully designed levels and gameplay, are currently developing their latest first-person action game.
