Developer Arrowhead Game Studios will be slowing down updates for Helldivers 2 moving forward. As caught by PC Gamer, Thomas Peterson—community manager for the game—revealed on the official Helldivers 2 Discord server that both the studio as well as the players will “benefit” from a slower cadence of updates.

While Helldivers 2 has seen updates at quite a speedy pace since its release, the studio has now opted to take its time with the game’s next update. When a player on the Discord server asked when the next update will be coming out, Peterson, who goes by Twinbeard on Discord, said that it will come out “when it’s done”.

“We want to take some more time for this one and potentially between …

Since its announcement last year, Phantom Blade Zero has generated a ton of excitement, in spite of the fact that its developer, Chinese studio S-Game, doesn’t have much of a track record to speak of when it comes to AAA console games. Of course, you only need to take a brief glance at what’s been shown off of the upcoming action RPG so far to understand why it has turned heads the way it has. From its setting to the flavour of combat that it’s promising, there’s plenty about Phantom Blade Zero that has caught the eye so far, and here, we’re going to go over some of those key details.

One of the things about Phantom Blade Zero …

Astro Bot is a spectacular celebration of PlayStation and the entire history of the brand, the bulk of which takes the form of cameo appearances of bot versions of a number of beloved characters that have been strongly associated with PlayStation over the years, coming from both first- and third-party franchises. But even though Sports BettingAstro Bot boasts impressive coverage on that front with its 150 VIP bots, there are some notable omissions.

Final Fantasy, for instance, is a franchise that we see none of in the platformer. Though there were some Final Fantasy 7 easter eggs to be found in 2020’s Astro’s Playroom, where Astro Bot is concern…

Robert Lewandowski headlines Poland s squad for Qatar 2022, but there is no room for Karol Linetty nor Mateusz Klich among Czeslaw Michniewicz s 26-man squad.

Barcelona attacker Lewandowski will head to his fifth major tournament and second appearance at the World Cup, where he will skipper his country.

He is joined by fellow veterans Grzegorz Krychowiak and Kamil Glik, the latter of whom will hope to join him in the 100-cap club for Poland during the tournament having already amassed 98.

But Torino midfielder Linetty is a casualty of the fierce competition for places, with the 42-cap man missing the cut altogether.

He is joined by a pair of Premier League absentees in Leeds United s Klich and Brighton and Hove Albion s Jakub Moder, with the latter missin…

Indie team 10 Chambers won over its fair share of fans with co-op horror shooter GTFO, <sports betting/em>so when it unveiled a new multiplayer shooter in the form of Den of Wolves at The Game Awards last year, it certainly turned plenty of heads. A year later, at The Game Awards 2024, the studio took the stage once again to offer another look at the title. 

Den of Wolves will see players playing with and against each other in fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled heists, with the action looking exactly the right kind of tactical and explosive. For fans of Grand Theft Auto and Payday’s multiplayer heist action, Den of Wolves is looking like an intrig…

Antonio Conte has downplayed Inter s struggles this season as a natural consequence of Serie A being tougher, though he remains adamant the club will be in better shape when he eventually leaves than it was when he arrived.

Inter finished Conte s first season at the helm second in Italy s top tier and just a point adrift of champions Juventus.

Conte feels their ultimate proximity to Juve was accentuated by the fact the Turin giants lost their final two matches, having wrapped up the title with games to spare, though the improvement from a fourth-placed finish the season before was not lost on the former Chelsea boss.

Inter have not been as fluent at the start of this season and sit seventh with 12 points from seven matches, winning only three.

In their…

Russia boss Dick Advocaat has named his provisional 26-man squad for the upcoming European Championships.

The squad features a number of names that were instrumental in Russia s run to the Euro 2008 semi-finals, such as Andrey Arshavin, Roman Shirokov, Yuri Zhirkov, Igor Semshov and Aleksander Anyukov.

But experienced midfield pair Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and Vladimir Bystrov have been left out of the squad.

Another surprise was Advocaat s selection of Sporting Lisbon s Marat Izmailov for the first time in his tenure, thanks to the 29-year-old s tremendous club form since his return from a persistent knee injury.

It will be Izmailov s first involvement with the Russia team since 2006.

Advocaat has already announced he will step down as Russia coach…

Sweden midfielder Kristoffer Olsson has made “significant” progress since being diagnosed with a rare brain condition earlier this year.

The player’s club, Midtjylland, have revealed that he has regained “both motor function and his verbal abilities” as he continues his rehabilitation after being found unconscious at his home on February 20.

A statement on the Danish club’s website on Sunday read: “As the public has already been informed, FC Midtjylland’s Swedish international, 28-year-old Kristoffer Olsson, was phased out of ventilators at Aarhus University Hospital just over a month ago and transferred to Hammel Neurocenter, where he began his rehabilitation after he lost consciousness in his home on February 20.

“Here, Kristoffer has regained…

Barcelona take on Juventus in the UEFA Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin on Saturday. Here we look at Friday s build-up.

Luis Enrique challenges Barcelona s unique generation

There can be few arguments with Barcelona s progression to this year s Champions League final but, as if the pressure of reclaiming a trophy the club last won in 2011 was not enough, Luis Enrique has labelled his side a unique generation . Barca will become the first side to complete the treble twice should they get the better of Juve on Saturday.

Juve progress a plus for Italian football Allegri

On Monday evening, Elche and Athletic Bilbao will face each other at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in what will be the La Liga opener for the 2021-22 season for both teams. The only match of the competition played so far saw Valencia triumph over Getafe by 1-0 at the Mestalla on Friday, courtesy of a goal by Carlos Soler from the penalty spot.

Elche

One of those teams always happy with avoiding relegation from the Spanish top flight, Elche seem to have been very fortunate at the end of last season. They finished 17th, the last place to avoid the drop, just two points above Huesca in 18th. A repeat of that success will likely be all they re hoping for.

Elche lost a number of players on free transfers this summer. Centre-b…
