Borderlands 4 Releases New Song in Collaboration with Zayn Malik

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software announced the release of Break Free, an original song in collaboration with multi-platinum selling artist Zayn Malik for Borderlands® 4, the latest entry in the iconic looter-shooter franchise. As a longtime fan of Borderlands recognized for his innovative style, Zayn recorded the new song, inspired by the intense setting and expressive action of the series, which serves as the ideal backdrop as players crash land onto the all-new planet Kairos.

ZAYN is a multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, producer, and philanthropist, known for his skyscraping vocals and hybrid style of pop and R&B. He made history with his debut solo album Mind of Mine, becoming the first UK male solo artist to debut at #1 on both the UK and US charts, led by the 5x platinum global smash “PILLOWTALK.” His discography includes the gold-certified Icarus Falls, the critically acclaimed Nobody Is Listening, and his most recent album Room Under the Stairs, showcasing a more intimate and introspective sound. In 2025, ZAYN embarked on his first-ever solo tour, which instantly sold out, and marked a major milestone in his career. ZAYN has garnered several accolades throughout his career including a Billboard Music Award, American Music Award, MTV VMA, and two Brit Award nominations.

CULTIC Launches Chapter Two Expansion DLC Today

The Overwhelmingly Positive-rated retro horror-shooter CULTIC, developed by Jasozz Games and published by Saber Interactive’s 3D Realms label, has today launched its Chapter Two story expansion DLC, available now on Steam for $9.99 USD / €9.75 EUR / £8.50 GBP!

Awakening in the cold, dark morgue beneath the besieged police station, you find yourself in the middle of a cult-controlled New Grandewel, with corpses littering the streets, flames billowing from the windows of torched buildings, and cultists infesting every inch of the city you once protected. Fight your way through all-new maps in Chapter Two – a full expansion campaign boasting larger, more detailed maps, new weapons and enemies, and more secrets and surprises to discover.

Chapter Two continues and concludes the story from Chapter One, and players can expect more of CULTIC’s intense, gritty, open-ended combat, enhanced with new mechanics and refinements. CULTIC’s signature weapon arsenal returns, with the inclusion of Interlude’s Revolver and SASG, which players can freely alternate with the lever-action and sawed-off. The revamped Dodge system, along with the new Tackle mechanic, allows players to get up close and play aggressively, quickly zipping out of harm’s way or using that burst of speed to slam into enemies, stunning them and interrupting their attacks for some much-needed breathing room to reload and strike back.

Players can also utilize new “temporary weapons” such as the mounted machinegun or bazooka to dish out massive damage, adding to the roster of ways the player can weaponize the environment against their foes. Tower Shields have also received a significant overhaul, allowing them to be carried around the map much more easily, planted in the ground for temporary cover, used to run-and-gun with one-handed weapons, or launched into an enemy’s face with a well-timed kick or tackle.

To give players even more ways to enjoy these combat enhancements, Chapter Two includes three new Survival Maps, as well, featuring some of the best arenas from the new chapter to test your skills and fight against waves of enemies, including the new additions to the cult’s roster!

On top of these gameplay improvements, the game has received a significant amount of optimizations which not only allow for even larger, more densely populated maps with more detailed lighting, but also improve performance for existing maps, as well. These adjustments are all retroactive to Chapter One, as the “2.0 Update” is now also available, allowing all CULTIC players to enjoy these optimizations and gameplay updates even if they haven’t picked up the DLC yet. Chapter One has also received a full polishing pass, as well as an overhaul of some of the visuals and decor on the maps.

Critical Role Releases Official Trailer for Campaign 4

Critical Role, a leader in storytelling and world building, today officially released the trailer for Campaign 4, the highly anticipated next chapter in its flagship series. Premiering Thursday, October 2, the new campaign will introduce a new world, a new cast featuring a rotating tables format, and, for the first time in Critical Role’s core campaign, a brand new Game Master.

After three beloved campaigns set in the fantasy world of Exandria featuring the stories of Vox Machina (Campaign 1), The Mighty Nein (Campaign 2), and Bells Hells (Campaign 3), Critical Role is making a bold leap to an entirely new world called Aramán, marking a major evolution for the franchise. This campaign will also follow a stellar extended cast of players including Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, Travis Willingham, Luis Carazo, Robbie Daymond, Aabria Iyengar, Whitney Moore, and Alexander Ward, with Brennan Lee Mulligan weaving this new saga as Game Master.

Using the updated 2024 rules for Dungeons & Dragons, mixed with some homebrew elements from renowned creatives Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford, Campaign 4 sets the stage for a world on the brink. A hero to many, and enemy to some, when Thjazi Fang is marked for execution, various figures from across his remarkable life unite to uncover the truth behind his grim fate.

Against this backdrop, the cast will traverse the new world of Aramán in a West Marches-style approach to gameplay where the story unfolds through the perspectives of three distinct rotating tables: the valiant Soldiers, the vigorous Seekers, and the veiled Schemers. As their paths converge, we’ll dive deeper into Aramán, a world of wonder with sorcery stemming from the graveyard of the gods and carrying forward the spirit of epic sagas reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.

In a land still suffering from the fallout of dead gods and living in the shadow of a tumultuous rebellion, these disparate people will come together across the fractured world of Aramán and connect in ways they never imagined. As hope and victory fade, a question hangs over Aramán. Without the Gods, what great deeds now fall to us? And who, or what, shall grab their crown for themselves?

Campaign 4 will premiere with instant access on Beacon.tv as well as streamed to Critical Role’s YouTube and Twitch channels on October 2, with the VOD available for everyone the following Monday and podcast episodes available in two parts: the first one week after the premiere, and the second on the following Tuesday. Beacon members will also get exclusive access to all episodes of Critical Role Cooldown for Campaign 4, where the cameras keep rolling and you get a front row seat to the cast’s post-show reactions.

Go to Critical Role’s website or follow along on Instagram at @Critical_Role, TikTok at @CriticalRole, and Critical Role’s newsletter to stay up-to-date.

Working with iconic eyewear brand Randolph Engineering, trusted by the U.S. military and beloved by pilots and celebrities alike, World of Warships is set to come to life with a limited run of themed aviator sunglasses. Featuring polarized Atlantic Blue nylon lenses, a rugged Tungsten Cerakote finish, and bayonet temples detailed with the World of Warships logo, each pair is handcrafted at Randolph’s Massachusetts workshop as a durable, corrosion-resistant tribute to the game and its players. Only 150 pairs of the WoWS x Randolph Aviators will be available for purchase on the official Randolph website starting September 18. An exclusive $40 USD discount code will be available on the Captain’s Club as a special gift for players. Each aviator comes with a World of Warships bonus code, making this release a true collector’s piece for players and fans alike.

In addition, World of Warships is partnering with the transmedia company MOZUMA on a Kickstarter campaign to deliver the historically inspired graphic novel “Yamato: The Final Letters”. Across 60 pages, the novel delves into the story behind the sailors who served aboard Japanese battleship Yamato – the largest constructed ship of her kind. The copy can be reserved via the official Kickstarter campaign, with several tiers offering extra rewards such as digital editions, premium collector’s sets, and the exclusive Admiral Collection version.

The range of 10th anniversary memorabilia concludes with a team-up from the crowdfunding platform Makeship, who have worked alongside World of Warships to bring a 10th Anniversary Kraken Plushie to life. Beginning on September 12, fans can pre-order the limited-edition collectible, which takes the guise of the infamous sea creature, and comes bundled with a free week of World of Warships Premium Account access. Equipped with a Velcro panel on its helmet, fans can customise their friendly sea-faring friend to their liking, as it fits neatly within their gaming setup or home space.

Finally, the festivities are already underway in-game for World of Warships, as the 10th anniversary update is now live, bringing free ships, gifts, events, and even more to thank players for their support over the past decade. A limited-time Decade Dock Port is also available, offering an insight into the game’s history, filled with Easter Eggs for long-time fans and newcomers to enjoy.

The Precinct New Update Trailer

UK games publisher Kwalee and independent game studio Fallen Tree Games have announced a new update for The Precinct, a neon-noir action sandbox game. The update is available for free on PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The latest update for The Precinct introduces exciting new features like Tow truck and improved vehicle customization.

Summon a tow truck: Players can now summon a tow truck to remove abandoned vehicles, clearing the streets and restoring traffic flow. Offending vehicles can be sent to the City Impound, the Salvage Yard, or if linked to criminal activity, the Forensic Unit for analysis.

Tow Truck Shift Assignment: The update also introduces a new shift assignment, Tow Detail. Players will be given tow objectives around the city, offering a slower change of pace that’s ideal when they need a break from high-octane activities.

Salvage Yard Machinery: The new salvage yard location features heavy-duty industrial machinery:

  • A magnetic crane for lifting scrapped vehicles
  • A vehicle compactor for turning them into cubes of metal

Vehicle Customization – Lightbar: The update also brings a suite of exciting new lightbar configurations to explore and personalise your vehicle, or all vehicles with. Players can mix and match with liveries to find their favorite combinations.

Unmarked Patrol Vehicles: Responding to popular demand, the update introduces Unmarked Patrol Vehicles. When combined with plainclothes outfits, they give officers the perfect tools to operate undercover for extended periods. Each vehicle comes equipped with discreetly concealed lights on the dashboard, rear deck, and grille, ensuring authenticity and immersion.

New Clothing Customizations: To support the new Tow Truck roleplay, players can now choose between two additional clothing options: a Reflective Vest and Coveralls. In addition, Kelly has been given a sharp plainclothes outfit, which will be automatically equipped whenever players select this option.

New music track: The update also debuts a brand-new music track from Gavin Harrison, titled ‘Wrecker Blues’, which has now been added to the game’s digital soundtrack.

War Mechanic Reveals Revamped Story and Gameplay Trailer

When War Mechanic was first unveiled in October 2024, Chronospace introduced it as a quirky dieselpunk simulator—part base builder, part resource manager, and part tongue-in-cheek alternate-history adventure. Players stepped into the role of a military mechanic tasked with reviving a crumbling base, automating its systems with robots, and pushing capitalism onto the front lines of a World War II that never really ended. Its promise lay in blending satire, strategy, and retro-inspired aesthetics into a survival-tinged management sim.

Check out the Original War Mechanic Reveal Trailer

Fast forward eleven months, and War Mechanic has been re-revealed as something far larger, darker, and more ambitious. Chronospace has transformed it into a full systems-driven action-adventure, blending survival mechanics, vehicle combat, production automation, and narrative exploration. Backed by industry veterans from The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, and Dark Souls, the game now boasts a grittier vision powered by Unreal Engine 5.5, complete with photorealistic environments, sprawling biomes, hostile factions, and modular machines of war.

And Now, Check out the NEW War Mechanic Gameplay Trailer

Most significantly, War Mechanic now carries the narrative weight of acclaimed writers Jacek Komuda and Maciej Jurewicz, who have layered the survival sandbox with a deeply personal story set on the war-scarred Nordook Island. Players aren’t just managers anymore—they’re Jack Wallace, a lone mechanic caught in a conspiracy that twists ever darker as the world reacts to their choices.

From a quirky sim to a sprawling, story-driven survival adventure, War Mechanic has grown into a bold statement of Chronospace’s ambition, proving just how much a vision can evolve in less than a year.

Players step into the boots of Jack Wallace, a lone mechanic stranded on Nordook Island, a war-torn frontier where relics of endless conflict clash with unchecked technology. Here, every scavenged part, every improvised weapon, and every rebuilt machine could mean the difference between life and death.

The new re-reveal introduces redesigned zones, hostile enemy factions, sprawling biomes, and a fully expanded global map. The game pushes players beyond their base and into dangerous, unexplored territories brimming with conspiracies, eccentric NPCs, and rogue war machines.

War Mechanic’s world reacts to player choices—expand your base with workbenches, modules, and automation systems, or venture into combat with modular vehicles and deployable defense bots. Fight with FPS precision, defend with automated systems, and unravel a layered conspiracy that grows darker the deeper you go.
