Guacamelee! is about to get bigger, better, and more badass with the release of the Super Turbo Championship Edition, developer DrinkBox Studios confirms. The gorgeous little open-world platformer came first to PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in April 2013, with Windows and Mac/Linux versions following in August 2013 and February 2014, respectively. A broader console release had been rumored, and now it’s confirmed.

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition isn’t just a headline-killing-ly long name, it’s also a reference to the assortment of expanded content that will grace the PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One versions of the game. In addition to previously released DLC, this new Guacamelee! also introduces new locations in the Canal of Flowers and the Volcano, a new three-headed skeleton boss (The Trio of Death), the new INTENSO combat move, Chicken Bombs, “Independent Dimension Swapping” (whatever that means), new enemies, multiple save slots, and a “dual currency system that supports permanent item unlocks.”

Also, because it bears repeating: Chicken Bombs.

A newly released teaser trailer (below) offers a first look at some of this new content. There’s no specific release date yet, but the trailer notes that it’s coming soon.

We first saw Hades 2 last year when it was announced, but it has yet to receive a release date. We know it will first be coming to early access, just like the first game, but the only timeframe we have is the second quarter of 2024. It appears that Supergiant might be closing in on that date, however, as you can now sign up for the first playtest and experience the game even before it comes to early access. This technical test is a said to be a major step toward early access to resolve any technical problems before a wider audience can play. Here's how you can sign up to be part of a small team selected to play the game before anyone else.

The best Fallout 4 mods

Everyone's Best Friend

The Fallout games, at least since Fallout 3, have been absolutely massive games in both scale and popularity. The post-nuclear-war setting is rife with interesting stories to experience and monsters to kill. Fallout 4 was the last single-player entry in the series before Fallout 76 took the game into a persistent multiplayer experience. A large appeal of these games is how you are able to actually role-play and immerse yourself in the game world, which isn't so easy with other players jumping around in their underwear. Thanks to mods, it has never been a better time to revisit the last "pure" Fallout game.

Just like Skyrim, Fallout 4 mods are incredibly popular. Some are inspired to fix the numerous bugs and glitches Bethesda games have become famous for, while others look to add new features. As open and dynamic as the base game is, mods just open the door to an almost endless supply of tools you can use to extend the life of your game. With so many mods available, it can be a little overwhelming to know where to start. We've sorted through all the best Fallout 4 mods out there and came up with the best ones you should install before stepping out of the vault once again.
