      The Switch 2 version of Elden Ring brings a wealth of new content.

      Prepare for another adventure in the Lands Between, as the Switch 2 version of Elden Ring is introducing two entirely new character classes. The FromSoftware Games Event took place today in Tokyo, where FromSoftware revealed the Knights of Ides and the Heavy Knight. Furthermore, players will at last (finally!) have the option to customize their horse's appearance, a feature that was previously only accessible through mods.

      While FromSoftware did not provide specifics on the gameplay mechanics for the new classes, they mentioned that this will offer players even greater choices and fresh ways to engage with the game. We can make some educated guesses based on other titles, anticipating that the Heavy Knight will be a defensive but slower class, while the Knight of Ides remains uncertain.

      GTA 6: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

      Believe it or not, more than a decade has passed since the last GTA installment. Although many players continue to invest countless hours in GTA Online, we are likely less than a year away from the momentous release of Grand Theft Auto 6. As we impatiently await that date, there's a wealth of concrete information about what GTA 6 will include.

      Long before its official announcement, Grand Theft Auto 6 was already one of the most anticipated games ever—if not the most anticipated. The excitement surrounding it has been unprecedented, with interest in the game sparking its own industry filled with speculative content and fake leaks. One trailer released in December 2023 seemed sufficient for eager players to declare that this long-awaited sequel would be an instant classic, even before experiencing it.

      But I remain on the fringes of the hype cycle after a decade of observing. It's not that I doubt Grand Theft Auto 6 will be a remarkable open-world game; Rockstar Games has a stellar reputation, and I have no reason to believe they will falter. However, there has been no impetus for me to form any opinions at all. With just a single trailer to reference, I’ve found myself trusting Rockstar without having seen much and yielding to an unfounded cultural consensus.
