Horns of the Reach and Clockwork City Coming to The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind

It’s been less than a week since the release of The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind, and Bethesda is already pulling back the curtains on the next two DLCs for the game. “Horns of the Reach” will be the first one to launch, coming out in August. Those who pay for the DLC will be able to access two new dungeons and a variety of items, monster masks, and achievements. Additionally, a free update will be released to all players that introduces the Arcane University battleground, the Chaos Ball Battleground rule set, and a variety of cosmetic items.

“Clockwork City” does not have a solid release date yet, but will launch in late 2017. Not much information has been revealed besides its Daedric theme.

Destiny 2 on PC Delayed until October 24

Destiny 2 on PC Delayed until October 24

Activision is doing a little more than just using Blizzard’s store to sell Destiny 2 is seems. Activision is using their partner company’s mantra of waiting to delaying a game until it’s ready. Some sharp eyed fans have noticed that the release date for the PC version of Destiny 2 on Blizzard’s storefront has been pushed back to October 24, seven weeks after the console’s September 6 release.

All signs point to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releases being on track, so the delay is likely related to Bungie doing some last minute bug stomping and optimization. For PC fans, it’s disappointing, but far less disappointing than dealing with a bug-ridden game. Look on the bright side, at least PC gamers have a release date for Destiny 2, unlike a certain cowboy game.

Quake Champions Closed Beta Introduces New Maps, Hero, and Weapon

Those lucky enough to be participating in the Quake Champions closed beta received a huge surprise during Bethesda’s E3 Showcase when servers went down for a short time. When they came back online, new content was available for the free to play competitive FPS. The marquee addition is the introduction of Wolfenstein hero BJ Blazkowicz to the line up. His active ability allows him do dual wield any weapon for a short time, including the newly introduced Tribolt weapon.

Additionally, three new maps have been added to the game. Lockbox is designed for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch games. The map is littered with traps, forcing players to be hyper-aware of their surroundings. Blood Run and Corrupted Keep are designed for Duel mode where two players will go head to head.

The update also contained some smaller quality of life changes. Bethesda reports that a spectator mode and custom game modes have been added to the game. Matchmaking and the Sacrifice mode rule set have also been improved. Additionally, video tutorials have been added to the game to help new players.

Fallout 4 VR to Launch for HTC Vive in October

Doom is not the only Bethesda game that will be getting a special VR port. Fallout 4 VR was announced at Bethesda’s E3 Showcase. The entire game has been revamped for the HTC Vive’s controllers. The reveal trailers shows players raising the wrist mounted Pip Boy by raising the arm and interacting with objects in the world with the controllers. There are a few shots of weapon usage in the trailer. There is one where a Gatling Laser is being reloaded, but it is not entirely clear if the reload is automatic or if players actually have to do the action themselves.

Fallout 4 VR is set to launch for PCs with HTC Vive in October 2017.

Get Your BFG Ready, Doom VFR Coming to HTC Vive and PS VR

If it has electronics in it, you probably can run Doom on it. After all, it’s not a platform until you run the grand daddy of FPS games on it. We’ve seen the game on graphing calculators, printers, and the Apple Watch.

PlayStation VR and HTC Vive will be getting their own version of Doom soon, but in slightly higher resolution and with controls designed with VR in mind. Doom VFR uses a brand new control scheme designs with VR in mind. Instead of walking or running around, players mark out a near by location to teleport. To dodge incoming attacks, players have jets that will allow them to strafe around quickly.

Doom VFR is set on a UAC facility on Mars during a demonic invasion. Players take on the role of a human enhanced with cybernetics tasked with cleaning up this hellish mess. The game does not have a firm launch date yet, but Bethesda expects the game to be released some time in 2017.
