For a free-to-play game that was already released in Russia well over year ago, Crytek is being remarkably protective of its upcoming FPS Warface. Crytek announced at Gamescom that the shooter – which, it bears repeating, was released in 2012 in Russia – will enter another closed beta. Even though there is no release timeframe and the game already had a closed beta that began in January, Crytek claims this will be the “final phase of beta testing.” For the game that was already released in 2012.

Fans looking to get in on the action (that aren’t in Russia and already in the action) can sign up now at www.Warface.com for the beta (or would it be a gamma testing session at this point… maybe delta?). It is open to residents of North America, Europe, and Turkey.

Warface is a CryEngine 3-powered first-person shooter that offers a series of co-op missions against AI enemies, as well as a competitive mode. For more details, check out our hands-on with the game from GDC 2012.

Here's how to turn off the DualSense controller speaker on your PS5.

How to sign up for the Hades 2 playtest

Melinoe fighting in a dark forest.

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.
