Monster Hunter Wilds’ First Major Update Brings Big Changes and Exciting New Features

Capcom has just revealed the highly anticipated first major update for Monster Hunter Wilds , and fans of the series are in for a treat. While there’s plenty of exciting content packed into this update, two features stand out for long-time Monster Hunter enthusiasts. The update promises to rectify some of the game’s biggest flaws, including the return of Palico chefs and the ability to customize Alma’s appearance. Here’s a closer look at the new additions and what they mean for players. The Return of Palico Cooks: A Culinary Comeback One of the hallmarks of Monster Hunter games has always been the immersive, often elaborate cooking animations. In previous titles, players would get to sit down and watch their Palico companions prepare delicious meals at the base camp. However, Monster Hunter Wilds took a different approach, offering players a portable BBQ grill instead of a traditional kitchen. While functional, it lacked the heartwarming charm that made those village meal cutscene...

"Dragon Age: Vailguard" Already Coming to Game Pass? A Surprising Move for the Latest Entry in the Series

The latest installment in the Dragon Age series, Dragon Age: Vailguard , has recently been listed on the Microsoft Store for PC Game Pass, sparking curiosity and excitement among fans. This early addition to Game Pass is raising eyebrows, as it deviates from the usual pattern of games that make their way to the service. Typically, games that join Game Pass either come as part of a day-one deal, typically associated with Xbox Game Studios, or are added months or even years after their release, once their sales have significantly declined. This is often because Game Pass offers a subscription model where players can enjoy games as part of their subscription without needing to purchase them separately, making it a cost-effective option for players. For that reason, it's common to see games added to Game Pass once they've already seen a drop in sales. However, Dragon Age: Vailguard is defying these norms. The game officially launched on November 1, 2024, meaning it's been le...

The Return of the Ashbringer? World of Warcraft Classic’s Season of Discovery Teases Legendary Weapon

For years, the World of Warcraft Classic community has been buzzing with speculation about the Ashbringer, the legendary sword wielded by Tirion Fordring, and whether it would ever make its way into the game. This weapon has been a source of endless theories, jokes, and hopes, especially considering its mysterious lore and the tantalizing idea that players might someday wield it. The Ashbringer’s legacy goes back decades, with players dreaming of obtaining it through fishing in the right spot, slaying certain mobs, or completing secret quests. While the Corrupted Ashbringer, the dark version of the weapon, was obtainable in the Naxxramas raid, the true Ashbringer remained just out of reach for many players. In the live version of World of Warcraft, paladins eventually got their hands on a version of the Ashbringer as part of the Legion expansion. Tirion Fordring's tragic death led to the weapon being dropped, though it was ultimately stripped of its power and discarded as part of...

This series focuses on a more grounded, street-level superhero story, which many have been eager to see more of, especially as the Avengers have dominated the spotlight since Iron Man 's debut in 2008.
