Razer Teams with Blizzard on StarCraft-Themed Accessories

Blizzard’s much-anticipated sequel to StarCraft may still be stamped with the company’s vague “when it’s done” release date, but that hasn’t stopped promotions for the new gear from kicking into high gear. On Tuesday, famed mouse-maker Razer announced that it would roll out a new line of StarCraft-branded peripherals especially for the game.

The company plans to release a mouse, keyboard and headset both inspired by StarCraft II, and designed especially to be used with the game. It will also market a StarCraft II messenger bag, backpack, and gamer case.

“The project is in the development phase with a focus on serving up innovative features while offering precision, cutting-edge technology, accuracy, speed and comfort,” said Razer president Robert Krakoff, in a press release. According to Razer, that will include exclusive and unique features catering to the StarCraft community (a Zerg-rush button, perhaps?).

Razer’s messenger back will be showcased at the upcoming BlizzCon gaming convention in Anaheim, but in the true spirit of StarCraft II, firm release dates have not yet been announced.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4

People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4

A man and a robot walking in the wastelands in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience. In the case of the Automatron expansion, an entire new questline pitting you against a robot army led by a figure known as the Mechanist. Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.

One of 2023’s best indie games is getting a movie starring LaKeith Stanfield

James descends on an elevator in El Paso, Elsewhere.

El Paso, Elsewhere, one of Digital Trends' favorite indie games of 2023, now has a film adaptation in the works.

Variety reports that LaKeith Stanfield -- an actor known for his work in films like Judas and the Black Messiah, Knives Out, and Haunted Mansion, as well as TV shows like Atlanta -- is going to star in and produce the film. The adaptation is in the works at Di Bonaventure Pictures, the production company behind the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Meg film franchises. Little else is known about the film at this time, although we'd presume it will be a fairly direct adaptation of this intense story-driven game.
