It's a surprisingly busy month ahead, that builds on the hype of Returnal and New Pokemon Snap to deliver a stunning number of games. The big meal ticket this month is obviously Resident Evil Village, which arrives early with its tall lady goodness on May 7. From there, the rest of the month is positively stacked.

Behold! Six entirely new seconds of Elden Ring footage! That's triple a two-second tease, double a potential three seconds of new footage. and definitely less than a proper trailer which usually contains at least 120 ticks of the clock under normal gravimetric conditions of our comsic odyssey through the universe. Look, I have a wordcount to hit and I'm doing my best here.

Largely regarded as one of the best raids in all of Destiny, the Vault of Glass will be making a comeback in Destiny on May 22. According to Bungie, players will need to be at power level 1300 or higher to be at the cap for every encounter, and Contest Mode will be enabled for the 24 hours. Like other Raid debuts, there'll be some sweet real-world loot up for grabs as well!

You know the drill by now: As long as you have a valid PS Plus subscription, you’ll gain access to a handful of games. Some new! Some older!

It’s no secret that Ava is seen as an aggravating and terrible character in Borderlands.

The last couple of years for E3 though has resulted in a show that has felt less relevant than ever before, those effects exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic and publishers instead choosing to go down the Nintendo route by offering their own online streams. This year though? E3 is—in a digital sense at least—starting to feel like the entertainment juggernaut of old.

Anyway, DICE is busy mobilising its biggest army yet for this year’s Battlefield 2021 game, confirming via a statement on EA's website today that its workforce has reached absolute unit numbers.
