2K and Gearbox Entertainment today announced that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands – an all-new, fantasy-fueled adventure set in an unpredictable world full of whimsy, wonder, and high-powered weaponry – will arrive on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in early 2022, during the fourth quarter of Take-Two Interactive’s (NASDAQ: TTWO) fiscal year.
In this epic high fantasy take on the looter shooter genre, players can create and customize their own multiclass heroes as they loot, shoot, slash, and cast their way through outlandish monsters and treasure-filled dungeons on a quest to stop the tyrannical Dragon Lord. Bullets, magic, and broadswords collide across a chaotic fantasy world brought to life by the utterly unpredictable Tiny Tina, who makes the rules, changes the world on the fly, and guides players on their journey.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a full standalone experience with a rich, story-driven co-op campaign for up to four players, as well as repeatable end-game content. In a brand-new trailer released today, 2K and Gearbox showcased the game’s unique themes, fantastical setting, and all-star celebrity cast.
“Wonderlands is a culmination of over a decade of on-and-off development at Gearbox Software towards a Role-Playing Shooter set in a fantasy universe,” said Gearbox Entertainment Founder and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Executive Producer Randy Pitchford. “For me, bringing actual Borderlands® guns to fight dragons, skeletons, goblins, and more in an original fantasy world imagined by the galaxy’s deadliest thirteen-year-old, Tiny Tina, as a new, full-featured AAA video game is a dream come true.”
Joining players for the experience are headstrong captain Valentine (Andy Samberg), rule-obsessed robot Frette (Wanda Sykes), and the beloved, bomb-chucking Tiny Tina (Ashly Burch), who serves as players’ guide through this extraordinary tabletop realm where rules rarely apply. During their quest to defeat the Dragon Lord (Will Arnett), players will meet a cast of lovable misfits like a lute-wielding Bardbarian and their very own Fairy Punchfather.
“Between the development talent at Gearbox and the undeniable star power of the cast, we couldn’t be more excited about this game,” said David Ismailer, President at 2K. “We’re always searching for compelling ideas and ways to build upon the strength of our existing IP, so we’re thrilled to help bring a passionate team of creatives together with a world and character that will surely resonate not only with our longtime fans but with new audiences as well.”
Developed by Gearbox Entertainment, the anticipated ESRB rating for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is T for Teen. For screenshots, key art, and other visual assets, please visit newsroom.2k.com.

Taking place 30 years after Critical Role’s first campaign, Vox Machina, and 10 years after Critical Role’s second campaign, Mighty Nein, this eight-episode mini campaign features a fresh-faced and freshly formed crew of characters who we first meet in Emon, a city still recovering from the scars of the Chroma Conclave attack, nearly 30 years later.

Publisher Leonardo Interactive and developer Woodland Games are giving fans of survival-sim games the chance to get some hands-on time with their upcoming PC game Hell Architect. Fans who are looking to embrace their darker side can now download the Hell Architect Prologue directly from the Steam page for free and start crafting their own hell to satisfy not only the sinners who drop in but the big boss himself, Lucifer.
The Prologue will guide players through the basics of designing and building their very own hell in the comprehensive tutorial, before unleashing them into the Prologue scenario where they can put all their new found skills to the test. If that’s not enough, there is a sandbox mode available where you can research and construct evermore intricate rooms and put your sinners to work harvesting materials to build your torture devices! Expect dark humour and gory themes aplenty!
Check out the brand new Prologue announcement trailer here. Warning: may or may not contain nudity!
In Hell Architect you’re playing as, you guessed it, an architect of Hell. Your task here is to craft new prisons for the lost souls and sinners who have found themselves ‘downstairs’. Just like all good (or bad) big corporations, Hell is a tightly run ship and under the watchful eye of Lilith from the HR department, you must devise the most creative ways to squeeze as much suffering as you can out of the sinners who will be spending eternity in this hot spot. That’s not all. To climb down the corporate ladder, you must gain the approval of the greatest and most feared devils in Hell, including the head honcho, Lucifer himself, as they evaluate your hard work as well as your sense of aesthetics and thriftiness!
You will have a host of options available to start crafting your own Hell. All the lost souls who arrive through the gates have their own abilities and traits so put them to work harvesting resources and doing the grunt work while you concentrate on researching buildings to make sure their stay in Hell is as ‘comfortable’ as possible. From toilets and canteens to shrines and demonic conference rooms, your Hell must be ready to accept more lost souls and demon VIPs who will continue to drop into your domain, all requiring your attention in many different ways. Remember, the more souls that arrive, the more demands placed upon your resources, so make sure to manage your workers and continue to expand your empire to impress the boss. And don’t forget, if any of your workers step out of line you have the tools at your disposal to whip them back into shape. Literally.
Features of Hell Architect:
Create the Hell of your dreams: Flex your creative muscles to design, build and furnish 9 infamous levels of Hell in the single player campaign mode, or spend a hellish eternity designing your own chaotic masterpiece from scratch in sandbox mode.
If you build it, they will suffer!: Begin with basic buildings like power stations (yup they need those in Hell too!) and canteens for your hungry workers and expand your empire to include shrines and intricate torture contraptions to increase the level of suffering for your weary residents.
Management is key: Harvesting resources, building an infrastructure and expanding your Hell will be key in your success. A constant stream of new lost souls will provide more hands to use, but will require managing to keep them working.
Crack the whip: Treat the sinners sent to your humble abode to different fun (or not so fun) sources of suffering, be it punishing them for disobedience or just for fun. Your Hell, your choices.
Hell never looked so good: Thestylish 2D art style perfectly blends with the brutal, gorey themes and is topped off with outstanding dark humour.
Guest appearances: Play as Legendary Characters, a motley crew of history’s most despicable sinners who drop into your domain, each possessing special abilities to help build your devilish masterpiece.
Developed by Woodland Games and published by Leonardo Interactive, Hell Architect will be released for PC via Steam this summer. Fans head to the Steam page and download the Prologue as well as wishlist the game now.

All roads lead to Fear Street… This trailer for the FEAR STREET TRILOGY debuted today at the first-ever Geeked Week (@NetflixGeeked), a virtual fan-facing event revealing first looks and celebrating all things genre entertainment at Netflix.
“As a filmmaker making Fear Street, but also just as a movie lover, I was so excited to pay homage to some of the great eras of horror movies. For 1994, Scream stood above all rest — it’s peak ’90s horror and, I think, one of the most brilliant movies ever made, period. Then for 1978, I got to look at the heyday of slasher films — Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street. For 1666…I found the best inspiration for me lay in the beautiful world made rotten of Terence Malick’s The New World.”
– Leigh Janiak, Director of the Fear Street trilogy
“The thing that ties Fear Street to people all over the world is that we all have the same fears. It doesn’t matter what country you’re in, everyone is afraid of the dark, or afraid somebody’s lurking in the closet, or afraid of being in some strange new place they’ve never been before. We all have the same fears.”
– R.L. Stine, Author of the best-selling horror series Fear Street
FEAR STREET PART 1: 1994 releasing globally on Netflix on July 2, 2021.
FEAR STREET PART 2: 1978 releasing globally on Netflix on July 9, 2021.
FEAR STREET PART 3: 1666 releasing globally on Netflix on July 16, 2021.
Today inXile entertainment and Deep Silver are pleased to announce that the first story expansion for the award-winning RPG Wasteland 3 – ‘The Battle of Steeltown’ – is now available digitally on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. ‘The Battle of Steeltown’ DLC has an MSRP of $13.99.
About ‘The Battle of Steeltown’:
The towering factory complex of Steeltown manufactures all the tech that keeps Colorado running and the Patriarch in power—trucks, armor, weapons, and robots. But deliveries from Steeltown have stopped cold, and all the Patriarch is getting from Abigail Markham—Steeltown’s leader—are excuses.
When he sends the Rangers to investigate, they find the place is a powder keg with the fuse already lit. The workers are striking, bandits raid with impunity, and nobody is allowed through the gates, not even on the business of the Patriarch. Without help, Steeltown could crash and burn for good, and take Markham with it, but maybe that’s just what it needs.
Features:
Traverse the Steeltown manufacturing complex alone or in co-op in this epic narrative expansion. Take on challenging new quests, face off against new robotic enemies, and solve the mystery at the heart of Steeltown however you see fit.
Tactical combat is taken to new heights with new mechanics like devastating telegraphed attacks, stacking status effects, elemental shields, and non-lethal weapons—letting you solve Steeltown’s skirmishes in brand new ways.
Combat and gear scaling means that both new and returning players can enter Steeltown during their playthroughs for a level-appropriate challenge, with a story and cast of characters that adapt to the decisions you’ve already made.
The Battle of Steeltown expands the base game with new enemies, weapons, armor, world map encounters, and crafting recipes.
The Battle of Steeltown expands the base game with new enemies, weapons, armor, and world map encounters.
Music Supervisor Mary Ramos and Composer Mark Morgan return with original scores and new post-apocalyptic inspired covers.
“The Battle of Steeltown represents not just a fantastic new chapter in Wasteland 3’s story full of choice, consequence, and Wasteland 3’s unique brand of humor,” says game director, David Rogers. “It’s also a culmination of all the hard work we’ve put into the game since launch. For those playing Wasteland 3 for the first time they’ll be playing the best version of the game. For players coming back to visit Steeltown they’re in for a treat with new story, characters, and combat mechanics that really change up tactics in challenging new ways. They’ll also see characters and stories they started in the base game make an appearance, with new interactions for everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed parrot, Santa’s Elves “Where Are They Now?” and more. All of this is complemented with incredible new post-apocalyptic music.”
‘The Battle of Steeltown’ is also available as part of the new Wasteland 3 Expansion Pass, available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, which gives access to two DLCs: expanding on the base game’s locations, characters, combat, and systems, as well as the Rangers’ overall mission while in Colorado.
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) and DICE today announced Battlefield 2042, a groundbreaking first-person shooter set to revolutionize the modern multiplayer sandbox. Powered by cutting-edge technology that pushes the capabilities of next generation hardware, the game drops players into a near-future, all-out-war experience that includes the franchise’s hallmark, game-changing destruction. Featuring matches filled with up to 128 players on the latest consoles* and PCs, this unprecedented scale adds a new dimension to multiplayer battles. Battlefield 2042also ups the action with the inclusion of real-time events that reshape the battlefield and tactical combat. All-new weapons, vehicles, and gadgets give players the freedom to be strategic and create jaw-dropping, only-in-Battlefield moments.
In Battlefield 2042, the world is on the brink. Shortages of food, energy, and clean water have led to dozens of failed nations, creating the greatest refugee crisis in human history. Among these Non-Patriated, or No-Pats, are families, farmers, engineers – and even soldiers. Amidst this crisis, the United States and Russia draw the world into an all-out war. No-Pat Specialists join both sides, not fighting for a flag, but for the future of the Non-Patriated in this new world.
Players will jump into the boots of Specialists, an all-new type of playable soldier for the franchise. Inspired by the traditional four Battlefieldclasses, Specialists will be equipped with their own unique Specialist Trait and Specialty, and will have fully customizable loadouts. As a Specialist, players will have access to a cutting-edge arsenal of weapons, equipment, and vehicles to use in battle. These powerful new tools give creative players a wealth of options as they find the perfect combination to fit their play style and outsmart and outgun opponents on the battlefield.
“Battlefield 2042 is an evolution of the franchise and embraces what our players want – the ultimate Battlefield multiplayer sandbox with intense combat and a ton of incredible, unexpected events,” said Oskar Gabrielson, General Manager of DICE. “All of us across DICE in Stockholm, DICE LA, Criterion, and EA Gothenburg have had so much fun developing this game and now it’s time to let players jump in. What they’ll find is that we’ve built three distinct, absolutely epic experiences that we think they’ll love.”
The biggest, most ambitious title in the franchise, Battlefield 2042includes:
All-Out Warfare – the next generation of fan-favorite modes Conquest and Breakthrough, featuring the largest maps ever for the franchise and for the first time, up to 128 players*. Experience the intensity of All-Out Warfare in large-scale battles like never before on maps filled with dynamic weather, dangerous environmental hazards, and spectacular world events that see tornadoes rip across the map and sandstorms block out the sun.
Hazard Zone – an all-new, high-stakes, squad-based game-type for the Battlefield franchise that is a modern take on the multiplayer experience that is distinctly DICE but very different from All-Out Warfare’s Conquest or Breakthrough modes.
TO BE ANNOUNCED – the third experience, being developed by DICE LA, is another exciting new game-type for the franchise. This experience is a love letter to Battlefield fans and one that long-time players will feel right at home with. Tune-in to EA Play Live on July 22 for all the details.
Battlefield 2042is available now for pre-order and is set to launch on retail and digital storefronts on October 22 for $59.99 on Xbox® One, PlayStation®4, and PC, and $69.99 on Xbox® Series X and S and PlayStation®5. EA Play members get a 10-hour trial starting Oct 15, 2021. EA Play members and players who pre-order will receive early access to the Open Beta**. Players who pre-order have three different editions to choose from, including the Battlefield 2042Gold Edition for $89.99 on PC and $99.99 on console, or the Battlefield 2042Ultimate Edition for $109.99 on PC or $119.99 on console.

World-leading gaming brand MSI, the most trusted name in gaming and esports, is announcing two new major series of MSI gaming monitors: the Curved Gaming Series and the Esports Gaming Series.
The announcement follows MSI’s Esports Gaming logo obtaining trademark certification earlier this month. MSI stands by the principles of innovation in design and technology, and the overall pursuit of excellence.
The Curved Gaming Series features an ergonomic curved monitor design that conforms to the human eye. It provides players with increased comfort, high-contrast, and 178-viewing VA panel, providing an excellent gaming experience for all video game genres and video viewing. An extraordinary visual experience for both gaming and leisure purposes makes the Curved Gaming Series the monitor for all consumers. The Curved Gaming Series can be users’ starting point for gaming, the first choice on their road to victory.
On the other hand, the Esports Gaming Series focuses on meeting the needs of players who are desperately eager to win. It uses the exact specifications of monitors used in esports with an extremely fast response time, high refresh rate and tear-free image processing. For serious gamers who know exactly what they need, or fans of high FPS games, the Esports Gaming Series will be their partner on the road to victory.
In 2020, NVIDIA launched the latest GPU: the Geforce RTX 30 series. The performance of the RTX 30 series GPUs is up to 2X higher than previous-generation GPUs, and the DLSS technology further boosts the FPS rate. To fully utilize the GPU’s performance and enjoy the smoothest gaming experience, users need a powerful gaming monitor.
MSI is proud to officially announce the fastest esports gaming monitor in the world: the Oculux NXG253R. The 24.5″ 1080p monitor is equipped with a groundbreaking 360Hz high refresh rate and 1ms GTG response time Rapid IPS panel. The Oculux NXG253R ensures that players will always be at peak performance while gaming. Powered by NVIDIA G-SYNC, the Oculux NXG253R supports exclusive features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) from 0 to 360 Hz, the fastest ULMB mode that supports up to 240Hz, and brand new Reflex Latency Analyzer that captures end-to-end system latency.
Beyond performance, MSI created an exceptional viewing experience. The four-dimensional adjustable stand provides maximum ergonomics, and the wide color gamut Rapid IPS panel with HDR technology produces saturated colors and mesmerizing images. The Less Blue Light and Anti-Flicker functions certified by TÜV Rheinland® work to lessen eye fatigue.
With a focus on consistently producing superior products for gamers, MSI will keep challenging itself in the design and performance of its gaming monitors.
NVIDIA G-SYNC technology
Oculux NXG253R supports NVIDIA G-SYNC and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) technology. Experience the lowest system latency from 1 to 360Hz for faster reaction times, practically no ghosting, and the smoothest motion to help stay on target. Add in zero tearing with G-SYNC, and it’s clear why Oculux NXG253R is destined to win.
Rapid IPS
Like a standard IPS, Rapid IPS display produces no image distortion and minimum color shifts when viewed from different angles. The liquid crystal molecules of Rapid IPS rotate at a speed that is up to 4x faster than normal ones, therefore the response time is shortened to 1ms GTG and can eliminate monitor blur.
360Hz High Refresh Rate & 1ms GTG Fast Response Time
The 360Hz display powered by NVIDIA G-SYNC is 1.5X faster than conventional 240HZ displays and takes full advantage of ultra-high frame rates in today’s biggest game titles such as VALORANT, Fortnite, CS: GO, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch and Apex Legends. Visualize and experience the extremely fluid gameplay with no latency to ensure the most precise targeting.
NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer
Victory measured in milliseconds. Latency Analyzer captures end-to-end system latency and delivers a precise measure of your PC’s performance. Step confidently into battle knowing your PC performs at peak level with GeForce RTX GPUs and NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer-compatible displays and mice.
ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur)
Enjoy the ultra-fast response time of impulse displays in inherently slower ‘hold’-type LCD displays for moving objects that are silky-smooth and crystal-clear. Reach out your hand and grasp a bullet in motion.
