Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, one of Borderlands 2's best expansions, is getting a surprise standalone release on modern consoles. The game is available today for $9.99 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. It's also free on the Epic Games Store until next Tuesday, November 16.

Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure stars Ashly Burch's Tiny Tina in her first main appearance. In the game, she is the Bunker Master in a game of “Bunkers and Badasses”, in an imaginary world inspired by all the tropes and characteristics seen in tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons.

In our original Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep review, we called the expansion "amazing", saying it was, "an example of how DLC can match, and in some ways surpass the quality of the original release." We also ranked the Tiny Tina expansion as the best Borderlands DLC of all time.

The Tiny Tina DLC is coming just a few months ahead of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, which is coming to last-gen consoles as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 25, 2022. Revealed at E3 2021, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a Borderlands spin-off with a D&D twist, which seems to pick up right where the DLC left off nearly a decade ago.

We recently got a look at some of the new classes coming to Tiny TIna's Wonderlands, including the "Stabbomancer" and "Brr-Zerker" classes. You can also check out our details on weapons, loot, magic, and enemies.

Among Us just got one of its biggest updates yet, adding new roles and abilities as well as setting the stage for players to earn new and exclusive cosmetics.

As revealed in a Direct-style “Emergency Metting” presentation, Among Us developer Inner Sloth revealed a massive new “Roles & Cosmicube” update that's available now.

The biggest addition with the update is four brand new Roles which give players unique abilities that add new layers to the core murder mechanic. Check out a rundown of the new roles below.

• Scientist: The Scientist can access a portable vitals panel to check on the status of the crew. The portable vitals panel has to be charged, so they will receive a unique task to refill the battery.
• Engineer: The engineer can use vents to move around quicker, and also catch venting imposters in the act. However, Engineers can’t stay in a vent forever.
• Guardian Angel: The Guardian Angels is the ghost of the first dead Crewmate who can temporarily shield and protect other living Crewmates. If timed properly, the Guardian Angel can prevent Imposters from killing a victim.
• Shapeshifter: This imposter role lets a player change their appearance and disguise themselves as other Crewmates. If done properly, the Shapeshifter can frame another Crewmate for a crime they didn’t commit. But the disguise doesn’t last forever.

Another new addition with the update is an expanded cosmetic and customization offering. Firstly, visors and special nameplates will be added so you can personalize your Crewmate further.

Currently, cosmetics can only be purchased with real money. Going forward, Among Us will add a new currency called Beans that can be earned through gameplay. Beans can be exchanged for new cosmetics in the Shop.

Among Us is also adding a new Battle Pass-style progression system called Cosmicubes. These Cosmicubes can be purchased from the Shop or given out to players during promotions. When a specific Cosmicube is activated, players can earn rewards unique to that Cosmicube by playing Among Us.

There are multiple paths in a Cosmicube meaning there are different ways players can spend their Pods for different rewards. Players can own multiple Cosmicubes at once, but only one can be activated at a time.

Real money can still be used to purchase a new currency called Stars, which are Among Us’ new premium currency. Between Stars, Beans, and Cosmicubes, there are numerous new ways for players to purchase or earn cosmetics.

The roles should add a new layer to Among Us’ popular Imposter gameplay, while new cosmetic offerings inch Among Us closer to games like Fortnite which feature unique ongoing rewards and collaborations. As one of the most popular games currently running, Among Us is showing everyone that it’s taking the ongoing service seriously.

Spider-Man star Tom Holland says Spider-Man: No Way Home is dark and sad, which is very unlike the other solo Spidey films he's starred in to this point. In an interview with Total Film, Holland spoke about the differences between the upcoming film and the other two entries in the Homecoming trilogy.

"What people will be really surprised about is that it’s not fun, this film," Holland said. "It’s dark and it’s sad, and it’s going to be really affecting. You’re going to see characters that you love go through things that you would never wish for them to go through. And I was just really excited to kind of lean into that side of Peter Parker."

Holland went on to say Peter feels like he's "met his match" in this film, which is a part of the character Holland hasn't had to tackle until this project.

Previously, Holland has said the cast and crew are treating No Way Home as the "end of a franchise", meaning that future appearances of these characters would look very different than the three movies they've made so far.

Along with the apparent tonal shift, Spider-Man: No Way Home is setting itself up to be a huge Marvel event. The newest Spider-Man poster shows off a new look at the return of one classic Spidey villain, while a magazine reveal may have confirmed even more Spider-Man villains for the movie. And if you're trying to avoid all details for the movie, be careful, because two images that appear to show major spoilers are floating across social media.

Bethesda Game Studios, the developer behind The Elder Scrolls, Starfield, and modern Fallout, is "absolutely" still committed to single player games, according to creative director Todd Howard – but that doesn't mean it won't experiment with adding social elements to solo experiences.

Speaking during an episode of IGN Unfiltered covering Skyrim's 10th anniversary, Starfield, The Elder Scrolls 6, and more, Howard was asked if – after making the massively multiplayer Fallout 76 – the studio was still focused on making single-player games.

Howard replied, "Absolutely," adding later that "It's part of who we are, it's what we love about games." From the little we know of each project, BGS' next two games, Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, will likely both be broadly single player games in the vein of the developer's best-loved work.

Howard pointed to the fact that even the studio's big multiplayer experiment added an expansion that facilitated more single-player play: "With Fallout 76, once we added Wastelanders and that kind of questing stuff, the amount of people that want to play it as a solo experience is very, very strong." Wastelanders was a free update that added human NPCs, a new storyline, and more that we said made the game begin to "feel like a true Fallout game."

However, Howard clearly sees opportunities to allow for interaction of a kind between players within the margins of a traditional single player game. "There are various ways you can talk about adding social elements to a game that I don't think take away from [the solo experience]," he added. "We've dabbled with some of that and not put it out, or things on paper, things we'd like to try in our games. So I don't want to rule that out."

Howard didn't go into detail on what those social elements might be, but you could look to the likes of Death Stranding for how social elements can affect a single-player open world. Hideo Kojima's game saw players collaborating to build structures and provide hints for others as they travelled alone through its world. It's possible Starfield or The Elder Scrolls 6 could similarly reflect the effect of many players adventuring alone.

That said, it seems that for the moment, Howard and his team are ready to move back into more familair waters with its next games. "Fallout 76 has really ended up being a great experience for us, and a great learning one," he explained, "but our passion is behind, 'Who are you going to be? This world is for you, go make it your own.'"

Howard talked about much, much more in his IGN Unfiltered interview – including why Starfield was a "now or never" project, and about the fact that an idea for Fallout 5 exists, but likely won't become reality for many years yet.
