However, Esports News UK understands this was not intended to go live on the PBE server just yet, and sources have said it will be removed soon.

I wouldn’t get too excited just yet. While Nvidia have confirmed the list itself was real, they say some games on the list were “speculative”. Read more

Does the Starfield trailer tease The Elder Scrolls 6’s setting?

June 14, 2021RockPaperShotgun

Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls VI way back at E3 2018, then promptly started saying “Sorry, what, I can’t hear you, gotta go” and leaving whenever anyone raised it again, or making beeping noises with their mouth then saying “Excuse me, I have a phone call”.

You see, tiny marks on one spaceship console do look like a map of High Rock and Hammerfell. Read more
