Capcom has released the Monster Hunter World Iceborne update 15.21 today for all platforms, which seems to be a very small update. Here’s what we know about Monster Hunter World Iceborne Nov. 17 patch notes.
Monster Hunter World Iceborne Update 15.21 for Nov. 14 Patch Notes:
Update #2: Patch Notes are out!
Update: According to some users on Discord, the text “HH” is no longer part of the banned list of words.
Unintentionally included certain characters as prohibited words.
Forced game shut down issue when trying to reinput a name with a prohibited word.
Capcom has yet to release any patch notes related to this update. It’s a very small update, though, clocking in around 50 MB on PC. It is most likely a small bug fix or more in-game chat censoring. Judging from the Steam files, specifically “chunkg10,” being updated, we are betting it is more censoring as that file pertains to the banned word list.
We’ll update the story should Capcom release anything official. Otherwise, we’ll continue to monitor the community for any feedback and discoveries.

Developer miHoYo has delivered Honkai Star Rail update 1.500, which is for the game’s 1.5 patch. This brings new characters to the game, a new limited-time event and more. Read on for what’s new in the patch notes.

The patch notes aren’t out just yet, but here are some details straight from the press release.
Characters from the Ten-Lords Commission are willing to weigh in and support Trailblazer’s journey. Huohuo, for example, a trainee judge from the Ten-Lords Commission, will join the playable cast as a five-star Wind-Type character who follows the Path of Abundance. Growing up, Huohuo was a timid Foxian girl who, during her childhood, faced an unusual ordeal when she was possessed by a heliobus. In order to save her life, the Ten-Lords Commission had to contain the heliobus within Huohuo’s tail. Afterwards, she developed an unusual affinity towards malevolent things. Recognizing her ability to pacify this monstrous being, the Ten-Lords Commission graciously welcomed Huohuo into their ranks. During battles, Huohuo’s Skill allows her to bravely wield her banner and restore hit points to a single ally and adjacent teammates. Her Ultimate is also helpful as it can rejuvenate her allies’ Energy and bolster their attack.
Another four-star new character, Hanya, also works as a judge at the Ten-Lords Commission. Hanya is a Physical-Type character following the Path of Harmony, and she specializes in reading the karmic sins of the criminals and employs her Oracle Brush to determine their sins. Aside from dealing physical damage to a single target during battles, Hanya’s Skill can also afflict the target with a Burden state. When an ally executes a set amount of attacks on an enemy marked with Burden, they will not only deal increased damage to that enemy but also regain a Skill Point.
In addition to the Ten-Lords Commission, players can recruit Argenti, a noble and admirable member of the Knights of Beauty. Argenti is a five-star Physical-Type character following the Path of Erudition and a devoted admirer of Idrila the Beauty. Treating and helping others with courtesy, and offering sincere praise to all is Argenti’s code. Elegance is Argenti’s middle name and even manifests itself in his combat. Argenti’s Ultimate ability is genuinely distinctive, as it triggers different effects based on the amount of Energy consumed. When expending a small amount of Energy, Argenti’s Ultimate damages all enemies. However, when consuming all his Energy, Argenti’s Ultimate inflicts even more significant damage multiple times and includes additional harm to a randomly selected target.
In addition to that, here are some of the events players can expect to be available once patch 1.5 is installed.

Bethesda has pushed out The Elder Scrolls Online update 2.51, which is for Update 40, and adds a new PvE gameplay activity called the Endless Archive. Alongside that, there is a bunch of new tweaks included as well, which you can read in full in the official TES update 40 patch notes.
New Activity: Endless Archive
The Endless Archive, a section of Apocrypha’s great library, is rife with twisting pathways and endless labyrinthian halls. To wrangle the multitude of corridors and locations is an exercise in madness, yet Master Malkhest intends to do just that and fight back against the malicious force causing chaos in the formerly peaceful archive. The books and tomes within have come alive, spilling their words into reality and attacking any interlopers. Do you have what it takes to brave the shifting nature of the Endless Archive, traverse the mazelike passages, and defeat the archive’s enemies? Venture forth solo or with a friend and brave the ever-increasing dangers for rewards bestowed by the Daedric Prince of Knowledge himself.
In Endless Archive, you are tasked with venturing into the ever-changing halls to battle a random assortment of enemies from throughout Tamriel.
Most of these enemies have been seen and battled before… but not like this. Enemies increase in difficulty after each completed stage, and rewards and challenges increase the deeper into the Archive you reach.
You are not without help, though, in the form of Mora’s Boons: Verses and Visions.
Verses are powerful boons that last for the next stage only and can turn the tide of battle.
Visions are long duration boons only available after defeating a boss but persist for the entirety of your run.
Choosing which Verse and which Vision is integral to your success in Endless Archive.
Endless Archive can be accessed in one of two ways:
For Necrom Chapter owners, head north from the Speiran Tarn Wayshrine along the coast of Apocrypha.
For non-chapter owners, navigate to the icon on your map for Apocrypha and use that to enter.
Each new run starts from the beginning (no saving and starting again) so planning and preparation are key.
There are three ways to play: Solo, with a Companion or with a friend.
There are two Leaderboards for Endless Archive: One for solo players and one for duo.
Rewards are offered to adventurers who delve the furthest!
New Class Sets are available to find and acquire in Endless Archive, which are detailed in the next section below.
Curation rules in Endless Archive dictate that you will find your class’ set items first. After receiving the possible entirety of your class item set, you will get drops from the other classes.
The further you progress in Endless Archive, the greater the rewards scale up, as well as the chance of receiving them.
A new currency, Archival Fortunes, can be found while adventuring in the Endless Archive.
This currency is exclusive to the Endless Archive and is used by its caretakers and filers to exchange goods.
ESO+ members will receive a 10% bonus to all Archival Fortunes.
Filers Tezurs and Ool are watcher merchants found in the Endless Archive. Both deal in Archival Fortunes.
Tezurs offers support for adventurers in Endless Archive and also acts as this update’s Achievement Furnisher.
Consumables can be bought to gain a Verse while running the Endless Archive.
You can also purchase boxes containing items from Class Sets if you so choose.
Crafters may wish to take advantage of the boxes and sacks of profession-related crafting materials for sale.
For the more accomplished explorers and adventurers, permanent upgrades are available for purchase to help make diving into the Endless Archive easier.
There’s also a lockbox for those who simply prefer cold, hard cash.
Ool has a continually rotating, eclectic set of wares from week to week. You can expect to find treasure maps, Antiquity Leads, monster set style pages, companion gear boxes, lorebook furnishings, and assorted achievement and dungeon fragments for sale.
Class Item Sets
A new form of Item Sets are here that you can earn from Endless Archive! There are 7 sets total, each focusing on a specific skill line from each of ESO’s 7 classes. These sets come in all weights (light, medium and heavy).

5 – Casting a Bone Tyrant ability while in combat grants you Beautiful Corpse for 16 seconds, reducing your damage by 5% and increasing your Armor by 2974, and grants up to 12% Healing Taken and reduces your damage taken by up to 12%, both of which are based on your missing Health. This can proc once every 20 seconds and is reduced by 2 seconds for each slotted Bone Tyrant ability. Casting a corpse consumer ability consumes Beautiful Corpse, treating you as a corpse.
5 – Casting a non-Ultimate Curative Runeform ability grants an effect for 6 seconds to your affected allies based on how many Crux you had. At 1 Crux, allies gain a damage shield that absorbs 3618 damage. At 2 Crux, allies gain Minor Heroism. At 3 Crux, allies gain Major Protection.

New Tales of Tribute Patron Deck
We’ve added a new patron deck for Tales of Tribute, found in the Endless Archive. It stands to reason that within the myriad, mazy halls of the Endless Archive, a cultural curiosity can be uncovered. A game amongst mortals, Tales of Tribute, has indeed ended up in the seemingly infinite of the Archive — why wouldn’t it? Further, the mortals adopted their own patron with its own rules, paying homage to the Daedric Prince of forbidden knowledge, Hermaeus Mora. Uncover the deck and its fragments within the shelves and books of the Endless Archive and play with new-found power to defeat your opponent. Be wary, however; as is always the case with the Daedric Prince, such powerful knowledge comes at a price. In this case, cards that help you can also help your opponent…
New Group Finder
We’ve added a new tool to help you easily find other players to group with as a solo or partially filled group. You can access the new Group Finder through the Group and Activity Finder menu. Note that this helps you find other players that want to do the same activities as you; it is not a queueing system.
Searching for a group
After navigating to Group Finder, select a category that interests you.
Currently, Group Finder supports the following categories:
Dungeon
Trial
Endless Archive
Arena
PvP
Zone
Custom
The results displayed are heavily influenced by the role you identify as (damage/tank/healer).
By default, any group you see is a group that you can join.
If you want to find a more specific group, there are several filters available to search for criteria such as CP requirements, voice chat, difficulty, and more!
Creating a group listing
You can also create a group listing for others to join. Note that you must be the group leader to create a group listing.
After pressing the create button, give your listing a name and select what activity you want to do with the group.
You can specify additional criteria that your ideal group members should meet to join your group.
You can either allow anyone into your group or have other players apply to join your group so you can check their class, level, and role.
You can edit non-crucial details of your group listing after it is created.
Grand Master Crafting Stations
Are you proud of your enormous collection of item set stations, but find yourself frustrated by how much space (and furnishing count) they take up? Have you ever wished there was a way to take the dozens and dozens of set stations for a tradeskill and squish them together into a single all-in-one station? Well, good news! Four brand new top-tier crafting stations to consume your attuned crafting stations and host them in a unified space are coming to your local alliance furnisher.
Each of these can be purchased for 1,500 Writ Vouchers from Faustina Curio in Elden Root, Wayrest or Mournhold, provided you have completed the “Unsurpassed Crafter” achievement.
As new craftable sets are released you’ll be able to attune those and feed them into Grand Master stations as well.
The gorgeous looks for these superlative crafting stations improve based on the number of different crafting stations they’ve absorbed; Unlock them all!
Jewelry Crafting Rebalance
Jewelry crafting has long been a special case compared to the other gear crafting types. With this update we’re bringing it back in line with other crafting with a few major changes.
Firstly, we’re doing away with those pesky jewel crafting grains. Existing jewelry crafting plating will be converted into 10 platings and every jewelry crafting grain will become a plating. No more need to collect grains, refine them into plating to then improve your rings and amulets!
Secondly, the boosters needed to upgrade jewelry has been increased to match that of other crafting types.
The result of these two changes is upgrading rings and amulets will be MUCH easier.
These core changes ripple out to other areas. Notably, master craft writs are being re-balanced to account for this huge change in cost to craft.
Existing crafting writs will be unchanged but new ones will use this rebalanced formula.
Prologue Quest Bestower Redistribution
As part of our ongoing efforts to declutter the early game areas for the benefit of new players, prologue bestowers that are present in-world have been shuffled about.
As a rule, most prologues (with a few exceptions, due to either their relative isolation or knock-on effects from moving them) will be present in only one location, as thematically and situationally appropriate.
Upon accepting any prologue quest through any bestowal method, you will receive a small pop-up on the bottom right warning you that you’ve accepted a prologue quest.
All prologues are still accessible through the Crown Store quest starter entries as normal.
The new locations for any moved prologue quest bestowers are:
Of Knives and Long Shadows (Clockwork City Prologue): Mages Guild of Vivec City, Vvardenfell
The Ravenwatch Inquiry (Markarth Prologue): Outside of Evermore in Bangkorai, near the wayshrine.
The Missing Prophecy (Vvardenfell Prologue): Mournhold, Deshaan
The Demon Weapon (Elsweyr Prologue): Rawl’kha, Reaper’s March
A Mortal’s Touch (Blackwood Prologue): The Hollow City, Coldharbour
An Apocalyptic Situation (Deadlands Prologue): Belkarth, Craglorn
Sojourn of the Druid King (Firesong Prologue): Evermore, Bangkorai
The Coven Conspiracy (Greymoor Prologue): Riften, The Rift
The Dragonguard’s Legacy (Dragonhold Prologue): Sentinel, Alik’r Desert
Eye of Fate (Necrom Prologue): Sadrith Mora, Vvardenfell
Additional prologues may be shuffled about in future updates to keep the streets of Daggerfall, Wayrest, Davon’s Watch, Mournhold, Vulkhel Guard, and Elden Root free and clear of stray people pestering you for help.
Improved Daily Quest Rewards for Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and Undaunted
The rewards provided for the daily quests (NOT pledges) for these three guilds (if you can call Undaunted a guild and not a motley collection of insane fools) have been completely revised.
With some key differences between the guilds’ “preferred” loot, the coffers will now contain a random assortment of the following:
Companion Gear
Overland Set Gear (from the zone to which the quest takes you)
Ornate Gear
Gold!
Deconstructable Equipment
This prioritizes a trait you do not have researched yet, or Intricate if you have already researched all traits for that item. This does NOT include Nirnhoned
Jewelry only drops with Robust, Arcane, or Healthy traits
A selection of random crafting materials
A small chance for a new Guild Commendation, which upon consuming grants you a small amount of reputation with the guild
These can be traded and stacked
A chance for a Draugr motif style page, with an exceedingly tiny chance at the whole motif book.
Drops for the Fighters Guild daily prioritize Heavy Armor, One and Two-Handed Axes, One and Two-Handed Maces, and Shields.
Drops for the Mages Guild daily prioritize Light Armor and all Staff-type weapons.
Drops for Undaunted prioritize Medium Armor, One and Two-Handed Swords, Daggers, and Bows.
Updates to Quest XP and Gold Rewards
In an effort to standardize the XP and Gold rewards of quests based on their categories, a mass audit was conducted across all quests in the game. The categorization gets a little fiddly and exactly how much XP and Gold you get is based on your current character level, but the general breakdown of what kinds of quests get what kinds of rewards are as follows:
Maximum possible Gold and XP rewards: Zone Stories, Main Stories, Prologues, Battleground Quests, Trial Quests
High Gold and XP rewards: Most objective/point of interest quests, “Incursion” Daily Quests (Dragons, etc.), World Boss Daily Quests, Dungeon Quests, Dungeon Pledge Quests, Public Dungeon Quests
Standard Gold and XP rewards: Miscellaneous zone content quests, Fighters/Mages/Undaunted Daily Quests, Delve Daily Quests
Low Gold and XP rewards: Event Quests
Minimum possible Gold and XP rewards: “Trivial” and “Vector” Quests (the kind that exist only to direct you from one place to another).
Minimum possible XP, maximum possible Gold: Basic Crafting Writs
Maximum possible XP, standard Gold: Master Crafting Writs
Any Cyrodiil quests were left alone from what they were previously set to.

Class Sets
Refreshing the Basalt-Blooded Warrior stances on your front bar currently removes your Major Heroism buff received from being in your front bar stance. This will be fixed in a future incremental patch.
Endless Archive
Item set bonuses may lose their effects after being transformed into a Watcher or a goat in a Portal to the Unknown. This will be fixed in an upcoming incremental patch, but as a temporary workaround unequipping and re-equipping the item should resolve the issue.
Our final update of the year is finally upon us, bringing many new toys to collect, content to do, and on the combat side, audits and bug fixing! In the previous update, we found a lot of opportunities that needed additional scheduling and time to work on and hammer out the details, so we’re continuing much of what you saw from Update 39.
The main focuses we’ve worked on are continuing to improve Area of Effects from player abilities and item sets to use more performant and consistent technology and setups, and improving targeting of helpful effects to stop going to those pesky pets instead of their owners. We’ve also made a small pass to some Ultimate abilities to make them feel a little more impactful by adjusting their target caps, squashed some particularly frustrating combat bugs that got your character stuck in not-so-great states, as well as other miscellaneous tunes and tweaks.
Don’t expect a lot of balance adjustments this update; we’re slowing down to let changes to values and functionalities “bake” longer so we can get more robust data and patterns before adjusting anything – but that doesn’t mean there are none to be had this update.
With that, below are the fixes and adjustments in this update, particularly precise and verbose compared to usual to try and reduce some of the confusion we’ve seen from previous lighter presentations. Stay safe, and we hope to see you all in Tamriel!
General
Fixed an issue where some tooltips would fail to appear properly while Gamepad UI was active.
Fixed a rare issue where you could become unable to Light or Heavy Attack and would instead rapidly twitch as if you had more caffeine than your mortal form, or any Daedric entity for that matter, could handle.
Fixed an issue where the damage from siege weaponry could trigger many conditional requirements, such as Vicious Death, when you killed an enemy.
Fixed an issue where activating some movement abilities, such as Critical Charge, could disable your ability to jump for prolonged periods of time.
Abilities that override into other abilities in special situations may now differentiate their tooltips based on the state that the ability is in.
For example, Stonefist now has separate tooltips for its initial Area of Effect cast and its single target charge casts. These distinctions can only be seen when you hover over the ability on your ability bar. The base abilities seen in your skill book will always describe as much behavior that the ability does between all versions, similar to before.
Fixed an issue where some player sourced effects that visually disappeared could remain activate after their caster died. The affects the following abilities:
Spoiler
Fixed an issue where certain attacks would only Deal Damage to 6 enemies, rather than hitting all enemies in the area but only applying their secondary effects to up to 6 enemies. This affects the following abilities:
Spoiler
Adjusted a few more Area of Effect under the hood setups to improve their performance, including the following:
Spoiler
Fixed an issue where some synergies were considered to be class abilities, while others were not. They will now only be considered synergies and will not inherit specific bonuses or interact with class abilities or class skill lines.
Updated many ally and group targeted player abilities to no longer target pets under the following conditions:
When Stamina, Magicka, or Ultimate is granted to a target, since pets cannot benefit from these effects.
When a bonus stat or buff is granted that the pet would naturally inherit from their parent, such as Major or Minor Berserk.
Ultimate abilities that target allies now always ignore pets .
All item sets that target allies now ignore pets, unless the set intentionally call out pet interactions.
Affected changes include the following:
Spoiler
Developer Comment:
Spoiler
Adjusted the following Ultimate abilities to affect up to 12 targets, rather than 6:
Absorption Fields’ heal

Magma Shell’s damage shield
Rite of Passage and morphs’ heal
Secluded Grove and morphs’ heal over time
Sleet Storm and morphs’ Major Protection
Soul Siphon’s heal
Vitalizing Glyph and morphs’ heal
Developer Comment:
Spoiler
Fixed a not-so-synergistic issue where some abilities that applied synergies, such as the Imperfect Ring, could temporarily remove other effects from targets such as passives, Mundus Stones, or even ESO+.
Fixed an issue where some effects that required a target to be under a certain health threshold could still apply when they should not have, such as Honor the Dead or Cleansing Revival.
Buffs and Debuffs
Minor Mangle: Fixed an issue where Dragons could be affected from this debuff, unlike other boss-type enemies.
Arcanist
Curative Runeforms
Chakram Shields: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could be applied to hazardous plants and other trap-like objects in the world.
Vitalizing Glyphic

Dragonknight
Ardent Flame
Inferno: This ability and its morphs’ passive slotted bonuses now persist through bar swap.
Lava Whip
Molten Whip (morph): The Seething Fury stacking bonus from this morph now operates as a slotted passive bonus that persists through bars swap, rather than only on the bar that the ability is slotted on. Seething Fury now requires you to be in combat to gain stacks, to mitigate pre-buffing and burst potential.
Draconic Power
Dragon Leap
Ferocious Leap (morph): The damage shield granted from this Ultimate will now replace itself similarly to other shields, rather than stack if you managed to cast the Ultimate again that quickly.
Earthen Heart
Magma Armor
Corrosive Armor (morph): This morph now disables Ultimate generation while the ability is active. Developer Comment:
Spoiler
Necromancer
Bone Tyrant
Bone armor: Fixed an issue where the corpse generated from this ability and its morphs had a chevron appear above it, as if it were a living entity. But don’t give up, skeleton, the corpse will continue to function for your typical nefarious deeds.

Warden
Winter’s Embrace
Frozen Gate: Fixed an issue where the teleport for this ability and its morphs could pull enemies through some walls.

Weapon
Destruction Staff
Impulse
Pulsar (morph): Fixed an issue where the Flame and Frost versions of this morph would fail to properly damage enemies that were also immune to the Minor Mangle the abilities applied. The damage now properly applies to all targets in their radii, similar to Storm Pulsar.
Restoration Staff
Blessing of Protection: This ability and its morphs now no longer attempt to heal pets, in order to prevent them from taking the named buff effects that play a huge role in why the abilities are ran. Developer Comment:
Spoiler

Dungeon & Arena Sets
Aegis Caller: Changed this set’s 3-piece bonus from Stamina Recovery to Critical Chance, to better facilitate its proc requirements.
Azureblight Reaper: Fixed an issue where this set could generate stacks off some direct damage attacks, such as Daedric Mines.
Pillar of Nirn:
Reduced the total damage of this set’s proc by approximately 22%.
Adjusted the 2-piece bonus to 657 Critical Chance, rather than 1096 Max Stamina.

Overland Sets
Ranger’s Gait: Fixed an issue where this set’s bonus to snare effectiveness reduction was not working properly.
Trial Sets
Eye of Nahviintaas and Twilight Remedy:
Updated these sets’ tooltips to better describe their conditional requirements to gain their effects. They now clearly state the sets only activate on allies who activate a synergy you have granted them within a duration of that synergy being made available to the ally.
Increased the window of opportunity for allies to activate the sets to 10 seconds, up from 5.

Don’t expect any new content from this, as there’s no expected seasonal content to be released within this timeframe. Read on for what’s new in the D2R new update patch notes for November 14.
Update: Global Community Development Director for the Diablo franchise Adam Fletcher has confirmed that it is just a backend stability and security patch.
It is a backend stability and security items so no real notes for it.
So far, Blizzard has not mentioned anything about the patch notes, and it seems like we won’t hear anything about it anytime soon. Chances are, this is another backend security and stability fix, which is usually released without much fanfare.
Over on the official Blizzard forums, players are also wondering what the patch is for. We’re on the lookout for anything that got changed and have reached out to Blizzard about it. If we hear anything back, we’ll be sure to update the article with the info.
Blizzard has rolled out Overwatch 2 update 3.66 (PS5 version 1.000.029), which brings hero balancing to Roadhog, along with some bug fixes. Read on for everything new in the OW2 patch notes for November 14.
Overwatch 2 Update 3.66 Patch Notes | Overwatch 2 Update 1.000.029 Patch Notes | OW2 Patch Notes for November 14:
HERO UPDATES
Roadhog
Developer Comments: The broad goal of the Roadhog rework was to improve his frontline presence on the battlefield as a tank hero and reduce the frustration enemy players had with how consistently deadly his hook combo has been in the past.
Roadhog’s previous Scrap Gun primary and secondary fire have been reworked into one primary fire shot that is still most effective at close range but also deals more reliable damage from further away now.
His Take a Breatherhas been changed to a resource-based ability and has been moved to Secondary Fire for a more convenient control scheme. It can be used more frequently but will need to recharge its resource over time, increasing its flexibility as a tanking tool and making it not as easy to counter.
He now has a new ability called Pig Pen, which is a deployable trap that activates when enemies are nearby, dealing damage and slowing them. This enables Roadhog to have control over a wider area and, with a little bit of pre-planning, can be used to either help protect his allies or further enhance the effectiveness of his hook combo.
Scrap Gun
Previous secondary fire functionality has been removed.
Total damage per shot increased from 150 to 160.
Shotgun pellet count reduced from 25 to 16.
Shotgun pellet damage increased from 6 to 6.25.
Now fires a shrapnel volley of 4 large projectiles in the center of the shot.
Each shrapnel projectile deals 15 damage.
Critical damage multiplier reduced from 2x to 1.5x.
Take a Breather
Now activated by holding Secondary Fire.
Cooldown for each use decreased from 8 seconds to 1 second.
A new resource meter has been added. This meter will deplete while Take a Breather is active and then recharge when it’s not in use.
Take a Breather requires 12 seconds to reach full charge from empty.
At a full charge, Take a Breather can heal up to 450 health over 3 seconds.
Take a Breather will now remain active as long as its assigned hotkey is held.
An option to “Toggle Take a Breather” has been added under Options > Controls > Roadhog.
Damage reduction decreased from 50% to 30%.
No longer amplifies healing received upon ending.
Pig Pen
This is a new ability assigned to Ability 2 by default.
Launch a trap that slows and damages nearby enemies.
Deals 60 damage when triggered and 30 damage per second in an area.
3-second duration once activated.
40% movement speed slow.
Cooldown is 12 seconds.
BUG FIXES
GENERAL
Fixed in a previous update – Resolved loading issues that were occurring in the Shop.
Fixed in a previous update – Fixed an issue with Rumble on some abilities activating for all players in the match.
HEROES
Lifeweaver
Fixed a bug that caused Life Grip to cleanse the Orb of Discord.
Fixed a bug where players who hop off of Petal Platform before it is fully raised would become immune to EMP.
Sombra
Fixed an interaction that could result in Sombra being pinned by a charging Reinhardt instead of teleporting to the thrown translocator.
Fixed a bug where Hack didn’t work properly when enabled as a Toggle.
Fixed a bug that resulted in Invisibility failing to recast after exiting combat.
Fixed in a previous update – Fixed Sombra’s Ultimate cost missing the 10% decrease.
Fixed in a previous update – Fixed an issue where Discord Cooldown UI was displaying on an invisible Sombra in some cases.
Zarya

The Awakened King is the first of a planned trilogy of major expansions for Remnant 2, the acclaimed Souls-like that only didn’t take the gaming world by storm because the first chapter was already a superb one. Gunfire Games has big plans for this sequel, and so has unleashed another monstrosity that menaces the world of Losomn, a fan-favorite that is now more sprawling and condemned than before. There’s also a new archetype, the Ritualist, focused on status effects and AOE skills.
A King to Doom Us All
The Awakened King makes some significant changes to Remnant 2 as we know it. The procedurally generated nature of the main world is toned down with the goal of offering a more focused and narratively exciting adventure, with identifiable places and a sense of learning your whereabouts that remains after each run. You can share your ideas with friends and discuss certain passages, and it will all be relatable in a way that randomized zones are never allowed to. On the other hand, the dungeons adopt the traditional approach, feeling new for every run, with true networks of stairs and pathways that seemingly connect in important parts, where you have no way of memorizing your trajectory from one run to the next.
This choice highlights the best of Remnant 2’s design, an interwoven landscape where rules be damned, and exploration is rewarding, but now we have a set path to take when trying to reach the looming castle of The One True King, which just appeared in the horizon of Losomn. One of the most appreciated worlds in the game, comparisons to Bloodborne are rampant, and it isn’t the take in The Awakened King DLC that is bound to change that – even the Ritualist archetype fits like a glove into this desperate, plague-ridden coastal town.
The One True King is corrupted by the Root and seeks revenge on every being, his magnificent castle having materialized out of thin air. The angry tides and aggressive denizens stand in your path, a journey of great sights but also of significant asset reuse, mostly forgiven when the tight grip of this new journey – which you can stumble upon during your campaign or explore from adventure mode – starts to show, with a flow that feels consistent and enjoyable.
Reaching the castle is your goal, but the road is long and hard, with many surprises and detours along the way. A clinical eye is required for some events, as the paths seem to falter, but there’s some ladder or other that will take you one step closer to the objective. Along the way, there will be elite creatures and bosses, something of a warming up to the final showdown – you do get a choice, but we’re not going to spoil it for you.
With a few side missions and puzzles along the way, The Awakened King follows the template set by Remnant 2. There aren’t many surprises, but you’re going to explore some damned places, and the closer you get to the castle, the more you sense this impending feeling of doom, contrasting with its pristine clear architecture and spacious hallways. Staring at the town from the bridge is quite a sight, and it is impressive to realize that you have been through those streets down there, such is the scope of the area.
Finishing this adventure took around six hours, with a lot of exploration on the side, but also certain that more remains to be found. One of those things is the Ritualist, the new archetype that requires a certain item to craft the Engram (the Ragged Poppet), which we haven’t stumble upon yet, so it’s impossible to make a proper judgment on the overall feeling for this new class.
A Burning Good Time
Visually stunning and featuring a more static approach to the main world that reinforces the anarchic layouts of Remnant 2, The Awakened King is a must for players who want to see the Losomn region expanded both in lore and looks, although the idea of a new biome might seem more appealing to some. The low price is inviting and absolutely worth it for the handful of hours that players will get to enjoy, building on a great game that has just started its ambitious content expansion.
Score: 8/10
Pros:
Losomn is back and in great shape
The static approach for the main world is a solid choice
New Ritualist archetype – but needs unlocking first
Nicely paced and exciting during its 5-6 hours of playtime
Cons:
A new biome could potentially be more exciting. Next time, perhaps?

What an adorable dog! The Labrador Retriever doesn’t just keep you company, however. He’s also got a few useful behaviors as well according to today’s press release:
The Labrador Retriever DLC features:
A new way to play and explore theHunter: Call of the Wild with the retrieve ability. Tirelessly serving players, on command the Lab will retrieve harvests, either on land or in water and bring them quickly back.
The opportunity to grow the connection between hunter and the Lab by petting, giving treats, or playing. Improve efficiency by taking frequent hunts together, and when it’s time to head back to the lodge, expect the Labrador to be there too, happily wagging its tail.
Customizable dogs with their own name, fur coat variation, and traits that match each hunting style. Add multiple dogs to the roster for rotation in each new hunt. With male and female pups, plus seven unique fur coat variations, players can personalize their new companion to make them feel like their own.
The Labrador Retriever DLC for theHunter: Call of the Wild will be available on all platforms on November 28. It’ll cost £4.99 GBP/ $5.99 USD / € 5,99 EUR. Players can wishlist the DLC now.
