  • Dune Awakening is getting a “large scale” beta weekend, the last chance to taste the spice before the game launches

    Dune Awakening is getting a “large scale” beta weekend, the last chance to taste the spice before the game launches


    Are you tired of hearing or reading about Dune Awakening without actually being able to play it? Well, hopefully you’re not tired of reading about it… Either way, it turns out you’ll be able to play the game soon, courtesy of a free open beta weekend coming on May 9, and concluding on May 12.

    To get access, you’ll need to either wishlist the game prior to May 9 for a chance to play, or grab one of the “thousands” of beta codes given out by the team during the weekend. So, it’s open, but only to those lucky enough to gain access. Semi-open. The door left somewhat ajar.

    This beta just so happens to be a few days prior to the original release date of May 15, which was pushed back due to a delay so the team at Funcom could “cook” a little and make sure everything is polished and ready for the full release.

    Players will be able to access the first two regions, which if thoroughly explored should make up the first 20-ish hours of the game. That means you’ll be able to explore a few Research Facilities, try out the early abilities for various classes, and a little bit of PvP in ship crash sites. A good taster of the experience. If you’d like our experience, we’ve got a new preview for Dune Awakening out today that covers this same slice of the overall experience.

    Are you excited for this open beta? Let us know below!

  • Todd Howard acknowledges The Elder Scrolls 6 is actually still alive, despite the year-long radio silence since we last heard about it

    Todd Howard acknowledges The Elder Scrolls 6 is actually still alive, despite the year-long radio silence since we last heard about it


    While all the old and busted Elder Scrolls fans (all my coworkers) are excited and popping bottles around today’s The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remake stream and shadow drop, those with an eye for the future may be happy to learn that Todd Howard took time to acknowledge that The Elder Scrolls 6 still exists! He was even so bold as to state that the team was working on it.

    The full quote, stated ahead of a plentiful feast of Oblivion Remaster news and footage, is as follows: “obviously we’re working on the 6th chapter here”.

    Wow. Fantastic. This is the biggest info drop we’ve had for The Elder Scrolls 6 since March 2024, when Bethesda confirmed that early builds of ES6 were out in the wild for testers to mess around with. They were even so generous as to hint at the game being fun, which y’know, you’d certainly hope so.

    Before that, of course, we had the scorching update courtesy of a former Skyrim designer, who said that we shouldn’t expect an update on ES6 until six months before release. That was in October 2023. Only a month before that Phil Spencer said that he believed ES6 was within five years of it’s release date! This sounded a touch comical at the time, but lo and behold, we’re nearing two years since he said it and there’s still precious little to go on.

    It’s worth noting that in terms of actual, concrete updates from Bethesda, there’s been crickets for years. Back in August 2023, the company confirmed development had started, roughly five years after the announcement during E3. I may be going out on a limb here, and feel free to call me nuts for suggesting as much, but do you reckon they may have announced the game a touch too early?

    Listen, all joking and snark aside, it’s good to see at least a faint sign of life from Elder Scrolls 6. It’s been so long. I was still at school when Elder Scrolls 6 was announced, and now I’m an adult with bills and bad habits and dating apps on my phone. Bethesda, probably still the most acclaimed first person RPG developer out there, I’m sure will do a cracking job at it. Just like, release some art or something? Liam Neeson had more concrete proof his daughter was alive in Taken than Elder Scrolls fans have for this game being real.

    Let us know below if you feel anything anymore, and how much student loan debt I’ll have by the time Elder Scrolls 6 comes out!
