Check out our review of Titanfall.

Titanfall will eventually offer both paid downloadable content – via season pass or ala carte – and free add-ons that tweak how the game operates. Respawn Entertainment founder Vince Zampella confirmed the detail in a new video interview with GameSpot. “We plan to do DLC to support the game,” he said. “We’re gonna do paid DLC; we’re also gonna do free updates. There’s thing that we want in the game that we didn’t get to ship in the final game. So we’ll add private matches and things like that for free. There will be some paid DLC. We’re gonna do a season pass just because if you buy it up front, you get a deal. We’re not doing microtransactions.”

None of this is a particular surprise, given the game’s multiplayer focus and the ubiquity of DLC in modern-day gaming. There are still lots of questions about what Titanfall is going to look like on day one, so the idea of that unknown expanding in a few months from now is nice to know about, but largely an academic consideration at this point. The game comes to PC and Xbox One on March 11, with an Xbox 360 port developed by Bluepoint Games due to arrive on March 25.

Tales of the Shire is a The Lord of the Rings-themed take on Stardew Valley

A Hobbit gardens in Tales of the Shire.

Private Division revealed a new game set in the Middle-earth universe called Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game. The title, developed by Wētā Workshop Game Studio, is a cozy life simulator set within the world of the books by J.R.R. Tolkien.

In 2022, No Rest for the Wicked publisher Private Division first teased that it was working on a game based on The Lord of the Rings with Wētā Workshop, the visual effects studio whose initial claim to fame was working on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Wētā Workshop has technically had a game studio since 2014, but Tales of the Shire will be its most significant release yet.

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.
