Sometimes in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the hardest choices are between friends. As Eivor travels to Snotinghamscire, the seat of Hemming Jarl, it quickly becomes apparent that they have to steer the fate

Dyson Sphere Program is a game in the very earliest days of Early Access, so naturally there’s still a lot to be uncovered.Here, we’ve answered some of the more frequently asked questions

Tevinter has officially been confirmed as the location of the next Thedas adventure with Dragon Age 4. While wildly assumed based on the ending of Dragon Age: Inquisition and its Trespasser DLC alongside comics such as Mage Killer, Blue Wraith, and Knight Errant with the anthology Tevinter Nights, this is the first time the studio has actually confirmed the location as our next stop (in a roundabout way). 

In the newly released BioWare: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development book, it's confirmed that Dragon Age 4 (which is a placeholder name at this time) will be taking players into the land of blood magic and empirical grandstanding. This is also the place that gifted us with the glorious Dorian Pavus and Cremisius Aclassi from Inquisition and Fenris from Dragon Age II. 

In the book, there are several ages that show off Antiva City and the various Crow assassins that have been referenced throughout the trilogy (and first introduced with the Origins companion, Zevran). Also included in the book is the Mourn Watch, a group that guards "Thedas from Occult threats" alongside various pages reflecting Nevarra and The Lords of Fortune just north of Tevinter in Rivain. From Deep Roads treasure hunters to death magic and fringe organizations, Dragon Age 4 is shaping up to be a title that expands beyond the mage and templar struggle, instead diving deeper into how Thedas found itself in its current state to begin with. 

Recent concept art also showed off a closer look at what we can expect from the upcoming Dragon Age game. The Game Awards also had a nifty new trailer to enjoy, filled with even more artwork and our first look at Tevinter's high-society landscapes and a glimpse at those pesky Antivan Crows. With Nevarra, Antiva, and Tevinter all on the horizon, Dragon Age 4 will be taking fans to the corners of Thedas previously unexplored yet heavily talked about. We might even see the hidden depths of Nevarra with a possible Mortalitassi companion, something we explored in-depth with our previous coverage here. 

As for the book that this confirmation comes from, the deep dive into the history of BioWare is available now through the official BioWare Store. I purchased mine recently and while halfway through, I feel as though I've barely touched the surface of the studio's evolution and the hidden history behind some of our favorite games. You can get lost in the history yourself with the hardcover book right here for $50.

Last week, CD Projekt Red released a large update for Cyberpunk 2077 that set out to remedy stability and open-world issues that were plaguing the user experience. Smaller tweaks were also implemented that fixed some UI and other visual problems. More importantly, a lengthy series of fixes were aimed at optimizing quests. However, a new issue has emerged that many players report is game-breaking concerning a rampant Takemura bug. 

We're working on the issue where the conversation with Takemura may not start during the quest "Down on the Street" for @CyberpunkGame and plan to release a Hotfix to address it as soon as possible.
In the meantime, here's a potential workaround?https://t.co/ujjxb8snGu

In the story quest “Down On The Street,” Goro Takemura –  an exiled member of security, banking, and manufacturing conglomerate Arasaka –  is supposed to call V so that the mission can begin. The key phrase here is “supposed to” because Takemura’s phone call never comes through meaning that the quest can’t be activated. This brings the central narrative of Cyberpunk 2077 to a sudden halt. In the recent 1.1 update, this problem was listed as one of the incoming fixes. CD Projekt Red has acknowledged that it is aware of the issue and will get going on implementing a long-term fix. For now, players will have to utilize the workaround offered on the Cyberpunk 2077's support page which you can read below:

• Load a gamesave before Takemura and V leave Wakako's office.
• Finish the conversation with Takemura outside the office right away.
• Right after the finished conversation and when the quest was updated, skip 23h.
• See if the holocall triggers and the dialogue with Takemura starts.

While it's not a permanent fix, it is something that will allow players to continue on their adventure in Night City without having to wait for a new hot fix. To learn more about Cyberpunk 2077, including everything that's happened since the action-RPG launched, you can check out our game hub right here.
