🖥 PC, Multi-platformVampire: The Masquerade – Oaths And Ashes Is A Visual Novel Set In Contemporary Berlin Launching This Year
!Vampire The Masquerade Oaths and Ashes Visual Novel (https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/30/32971991/vampirepromo.jpg.webp) After last year's Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2(https://gameinformer.com/product/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2), the universe is expanding with another new game later this year, this time a visual novel. Titled Vampire: The Masquerade – Oaths and Ashes, this visual novel is set in contemporary Berlin and follows the rules of the 5th Edition of the long-running tabletop RPG. It will launch on PC via Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/4191110/VampireTheMasqueradeOathsandAshes/) later this year. Players will take on the roles of two protagonists: Alice, a Venture operative dispatched by the Camarilla faction who must keep the city's other factions destabilized, and Lenz, a Thinblood outsider trying to survive. The two form an alliance, and that relationship is the core of Oaths and Ashes, according to developer Revive The Spark, which has worked on previous Vampire: The Masquerade games before. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/30/67c4c15e/vampireoathsandashesheader.jpg.webp) Drawing from Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition, Oaths and Ashes blends branching dialogue choices with character abilities. For example, Alice can wield Disciplines to manipulate those around her while Lenz relies on a hands-on alchemy system to brew formulas that unlock new conversational paths and abilities. Your choices affect the warring factions and the greater political map of Berlin. Revive The Spark says Oaths and Ashes is for both newcomers to Vampire: The Masquerade and veterans of the World of Darkness universe. Vampire: The Masquerade – Oaths and Ashes launches on PC sometime in 2026.

🎮 Multi-platformDiablo 4: Lord Of Hatred's All-New Class Skill Trees Have Players Divided
Diablo 4(https://www.gamespot.com/games/diablo-iv/): Lord of Hatred and its subsequent 3.0 update have been live for a few days now, and if there is one thing the community can't seem to agree on, it's whether Blizzard's second attempt at class skill trees is a roaring success or a downgrade from what came before. Blizzard shocked more than a few Diablo 4 players when it announced in the leadup to Lord of Hatred's release that the expansion would herald the arrival of all-new skill trees for each class, and that those trees would no longer feature any passive skills(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/diablo-4-lord-of-hatred-is-completely-removing-passive-skills/1100-6538191/). Prior to Lord of Hatred, a large amount of player power came directly from damage-boosting passive skills, making their removal controversial. Instead, players would have more options to customize their active skills, as well as the ability to invest more points into key skills in order to make them even more powerful. The idea was to make it so the power of a character largely came from gear and the endgame paragon system, rather than selecting the right passive skills in the skill tree.

🎮 Multi-platformGabe Newell Emailed Elon Musk To Try To Get Hideo Kojima An Invite To SpaceX
Thanks to the ongoing trial pitting billionaires Elon Musk and Sam Altman against each other, it's come to light that Valve founder Gabe Newell--the third billionaire in this story--emailed Musk to ask if Hideo Kojima could get a tour of SpaceX. In an email from October 2018(https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2213934513159?sv1=affiliate&svcampaignid=78888&sscid=9879717775709935046639dc6133ac613573a79f5004800&awc=9879717775709935046639dc6133ac613573a79f5004800), Newell wrote to Musk telling him that Kojima really wants to go to space. Newell thought Musk--who runs SpaceX--might be a good person to talk to. "He'd love to get a SpaceX tour," Newell wrote to Musk, according to PC Gamer(https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/thanks-to-musk-v-altman-lawsuit-its-now-public-record-that-gabe-newell-emailed-elon-musk-to-get-his-pal-hideo-kojima-a-tour-of-spacex-and-openai/). Musk wrote back to Newell, saying, "Sure, it would be great to meet Hideo Kojima and he's welcome to see the rocket factory." Whether or not Kojima actually got this tour is unknown, however.

🎮 Multi-platformResident Evil Movie's Giant Creature Sure Looks Like He Came From Dune
The first trailer for director Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/resident-evil-movie-trailer-debuts-highlighting-a-terrifying-new-vision/1100-6539639/) is here, and it gives fans just a taste at what this new adaptation of Capcom's legendary survival-horror series will look like. It's less zombie movie and more monster flick, and includes a creature that looks ripped straight out of the recent Dune films (before you get too excited, no, it's not a sandworm). About a minute into the trailer, the film's hero Bryan, in true Resident Evil fashion, drops into a sewer. He's then confronted with a massive, pale-looking man sitting directly in his path--one that bears a striking resemblance to Baron Harkonnen, the main villain of author Frank Herbert's early Dune books. The similarities to Cregger's monster and the Baron, particularly director Denis Villeneuve's interpretation of the character seen in 2021's Dune Part One and 2024's Dune Part 2, are hard to ignore. Both characters are giant, pale, seemingly hairless men. In Baron Harkonnen's case, he's so massive he uses anti-gravity technology to float around. Despite the two looking nearly identical, Cregger in a trailer breakdown with IGN(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFMSyTWmA8) actually revealed a different literary inspiration behind the giant man in the sewer.

🎮 Multi-platformYou Can Get A Free Marvel Rivals Skin Just In Time For The New Avengers Mode
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is marching toward Doomsday, its upcoming Avengers sequel, and Marvel Rivals is starting the countdown with a new Avengers mode alongside a free skin for Loki. Subscribers to Disney Plus can claim their free Loki skin by visiting the website and scrolling to their Disney Plus perks(https://tarabrunopr-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2kz2xoSHOeL2argySC1hJv7jXZNW4QCz98e-Ox8wqlHOLODbfnQFf5JKu9BUZszWXaI-OtMYBbKG0CxCGr0dUwtF16TIWOU12TF6L5o06Z6p5YS7tKfbDdfD4CcXD4AnXZ6EWTlszX2-KxAEGFyTJTXn0lSUiFCWOg4KgjR9usqxXb03MIw), but the skin won't be around forever. Players only have between May 1 and July 30 to add the outfit to their in-game wardrobe. The Loki skin is said to be styled with "Disney Plus colors," or, for the uninitiated, that bluish-green color you see below. !No Caption Provided(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1632/16320660/4690862-image%2812%29.png)(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1632/16320660/4690862-image%2812%29.png) Loki is getting the special attention because he's the star of the game's new limited-time Avengers mode. In it, one player takes on the role of the trickster god himself, while a team of six others works together to try to defeat him. The asymmetrical PvP mode is the first of several updates planned between now and the end of the year. As a roadmap, it's collectively called the Path to Doomsday, as it all leads to the release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18.

🎮 Multi-platformAfter 30 Years In Development, Magic: The Gathering Legend Reveals His Next Card Game
For over 30 years, Mark Rosewater has been leading design teams for some of Magic: the Gathering's biggest sets, and continues to do so with his role as lead designer on the upcoming Marvel Super Heroes expansion. However, while he's been exploring the Magic multiverse, he's been developing his own game on the side, with the hopes of one day sharing that side game with the world. Today, on the official Magic: the Gathering Secret Lair website, Rosewater has finally unveiled that game, Mood Swings, and players will be able to order it soon. Mood Swings is a game played with a single 45-card deck, though there will be over 100 cards available for the game at launch. Each card is named after a mood--Patience, Hostility, Cheer, Bashfulness, etc.--and comes with a corresponding power and point value. Each player in the two-to-four-player game will play one mood from their hand per turn, and once all of the powers resolve, the player whose board has the most points wins the round, and first to three rounds wins the whole game. Rosewater released a blog on the MTG website(https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/introducing-mood-swings), as well as a tutorial video on the official Wizards of the Coast YouTube, diving deeper into the game's rules and some of the cards players will find in their decks. "About 28 years ago, I came up with an idea for a more accessible trading card game called Mood Swings," Rosewater says in the blog. "The idea behind it is simple. Trading card games are a lot of fun, but Magic, while amazing, can be complicated. Mood Swings is my attempt to make something simpler."
