I'll be honest right off the bat. As a single player Elder Scroller, the Elder Scrolls Online's never managed to hook me for more than a few hours. I've given it a couple of goes, usually during periods when it's gone free to play, but have always bounced off its vast MMOiness. Might the slew of fresh additions coming across the next couple of years be able to change that and finally convince me to spend significant time with ESO in the same way I have Fallout 76 in the past few years? The answer could be yes, if the naval combat and underwater exploration Zenimax have just revealed are as fun as they sound on paper.

With the first few months of its latest target release year drawing to a close, the modders behind Skyblivion are looking to make some "final" and "vital" veteran additions to their team in order to get the ambitious remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine over the line. This comes after a delay late last year, which saw Skyblivion's arrival pushed to 2026, following some accusations from a former dev that it was being rushed out of the door.

Snap. Up until now, that's been the sort of sound you only hear in Resident Evil Requiem when a spooky monster may or may not be sneaking up on you. Thanks to a new patch from Capcom, though, it could now also signify that you've just taken a cute photo of the spooky monster about to ruin Grace or Leon's day.

The appearance of AI in art is nothing new, hell, Mr. Movies himself Steven Spielberg literally made A.I. Artificial Intelligence near the start of the millenia. But that was the Cool AI, where robots could be people, too, if we let them. Now what we have is the Donkey Bollocks AI that produces garbage facsimiles of things we know and actually like. But that doesn't mean it's not worth considering AI, and I really need you to bear with me here, within our art, as that's exactly what the team behind Pragmata did (without touching the stuff).

Around the turn of the new year, Fallout: London developers Team FOLON teased plans to drop the second of the brilliantly British Fallout 4 mod's second DLC in early 2026, assuming no hiccups got in the way of those plans. Sadly, it seems that's exactly what's happened, necessitating the "skeletal crew" still working on the mod to push Last Orders beyond a projected April release window.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has decided to try something a bit different in his latest defense of the company's recently revealed DLSS 5 neural rendering tech. No longer does he throw cold coffee in the faces of critics and bellow 'you're dead wrong, and you better give me something on this guy or you're toast'. Instead, he sits on the desk like a teacher playing it casual - saying that he understands where critics are coming from, but still insisting that the tech's benign.

Resident Evil Requiem makers Capcom have outlined their current stance on using AI in a summarised investor back-and-forth released alongside their latest financial results. The publishers plan on using the tech to try and improve the "efficiency" of their development process, but say no AI-generated content will make it into the final versions of their games.

A dedicated Borderlands 4 player has killed over 3,000 bosses and spent 150 hours uncovering the drop rates for items in the game. Gearbox Software keeps the item drop rate hidden from fans, but one Borderlands 4player has done in-depth research and discovered that the chances of gaining specific Legendary items are surprisingly low.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is only one week away from launch, and while trailers and its news cycle stopped a while ago, the datamine "season" has now officially begun, thanks to the game's pre-load on the Nintendo store and a few copies in the wild. Unlike leaks, which can be volatile if the sources are not trustworthy or things change internally before launch, datamining is mostly very accurate because it takes information from the game's code. At the time of the so-called TeraLeak, everything pointed to 26 new Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, with Mega Zeraora being the 27th and allegedly scrapped. Now, a reliable dataminer by the name of Kaphotics on Twitter, who has provided a lot of data regarding Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, confirmed that data for Mega Zeraora is in the game, and also for Mega Darkrai and Mega Heatran.

This Newegg Nintendo Switch eShop deal has arrived just time time for Pokemon Legends Z-A, and I ain't mad about it.
