DC’s Elseworlds and the Absolute Universe are different. The Absolute Universe is a complete, self-contained world with its own history, while Elseworlds is a collection of stories that don’t fit into the main DC Universe timeline. And there are some truly excellent stories within Elseworlds! While Kingdom Come is the most famous, many other fantastic tales deserve attention. Here are seven of the best Elseworlds stories besides Kingdom Come, and we even think one of them might be even better.

To get these new relics, you’ll need to complete certain side quests for specific characters and defeat the new Nightlords. This guide will show you everything about the relics in Elden Ring: Nightreign – what they do and how to collect them.

Cooperative play has always been possible in FromSoftware games, but setting it up used to be complicated. Nightreign simplifies this with normal invite and party features, clearly demonstrating FromSoftware’s commitment to making it easy for players to team up with their friends.

The game launched in early access on Steam in September 2024. It’s received several significant updates, including one in March, and has evolved considerably since then.

I’m really excited about Valor Mortis! It’s not free-to-play on Steam, but you can add it to your wishlist now – it’s coming out in 2026. The game takes place in an alternate version of Napoleonic France, and it’s not your typical historical setting. They’ve thrown in magic alongside the guns, and the monsters look seriously terrifying – think something straight out of Resident Evil or Bloodborne. It looks like a really cool, dark take on the era.

When you begin the Dreglord expedition, you’ll encounter challenging mid-bosses like the famous Artorias and the powerful Lord of Blood. But the ultimate boss of this expedition is Traitorous Straghess – a truly difficult opponent. Let’s prepare by covering everything you need to know to defeat him in The Forsaken Hollows.

If you’re not playing with friends, like through Discord, you’re stuck relying on the game’s limited tagging system to find help. This often leads to frustrating experiences with unhelpful teammates – you can find tons of stories about it on the game’s subreddit. It’s a significant problem, and honestly, I would have stopped playing Nightreign if I didn’t have two friends who are also fans of FromSoftware games to play with.

So, what about this second version of the Blood Master? Is it the same enemy we fought before, or has he changed? Does he have a new set of powerful (and frustrating) attacks? Let’s find out everything about the Lord of Blood boss and how to beat him in The Forsaken Hollow.

Warhorse Studios’ Martin Klima recently told PC Gamer that games like Morrowind and Oblivion were made during a different era. Back then, development teams were smaller and budgets were lower. This meant developers could take more creative chances and build unique, challenging games without worrying as much about financial risks or appealing to the widest possible audience.

On December 17th, NetEase announced a new, temporary game mode for the Chinese version of their game. Called “The Phantom Thief Goose,” this mode lets players control the game’s famous geese instead of traditional characters, focusing on goose-themed challenges rather than combat.
