Back 4 Blood’s first DLC sends players into Ridden caves

Add as a preferred source on Google

Back 4 Blood‘s main campaign ends with a massive boss fight underground, and the game’s upcoming DLC is set to drag players back down into the Ridden-infested depths. First revealed in Back 4 Blood‘s road map, the Tunnels of Terror expansion now has a release date. Players will be able to fight their way through packs of Ridden underground with the aid of new Cleaners and weapons on April 12.

The two new Cleaners being added to Back 4 Blood with Tunnels of Terror are Sharice and Heng. The former gives teams a health bonus and resistance to trauma, while Heng can sense nearby hive entrances and gear, all while letting teammates re-use some of their gear. Along with new cleaners, the expansion also introduces a new special infected variant of each type. Players will be hunted through the tunnels by spike-filled Urchins, Shredders, and Rippers.

To tackle these new enemies, players will have both new weapons and new cards at their disposal. Seven weapons and 12 cards will be added to the game, although only one of each was shared through a new trailer for the expansion. A new shotgun, that seemingly comes packed with incendiary buckshot, will be available to players, along with a card that powers up bash attacks every three seconds.

A new difficulty mode for Back 4 Blood will also launch alongside Tunnels of Terror. Called “No Hope,” the difficulty mode will, assumedly, pit players up against nearly impossible odds.

With Tunnels of Terror‘s release date fast approaching, Back 4 Blood only has two more expansions left. According to the game’s roadmap, another two expansions, neither of which have been named, are slated to release this year.

MSI’s next gaming monitor can morph between three different resolutions and refresh rates
Why buy three monitors when MSI wants you to buy one expensive one?
MSI MPG OLED 322URDX

Gaming monitors have slowly become one of the most aggressively competitive categories in PC hardware. Over the past few years, brands have raced to push refresh rates higher, improve OLED technology, reduce response times, and deliver increasingly brighter displays. But despite all those upgrades, buyers still usually have to pick one side of the experience. You either buy a super-fast esports monitor with lower resolution or a high-resolution OLED display focused more on cinematic gaming.

At Computex 2026, MSI appears to be trying to eliminate that compromise. The company has officially unveiled the MSI MPG OLED 322URDX36, which it describes as the world’s first triple-mode QD-OLED gaming monitor.

All Stellaris cheats and console commands
Give yourself the edge in galactic conquest with these cheats and commands
Fleet in Stellaris

Running a galactic empire in Stellaris is an arduous task. One bad war, an economic spiral, or one neighbor with a suspiciously large fleet can turn a promising save into a slow-motion disaster. You may want to fix a mistake, or maybe even want to test a build. And sometimes, you just want to see what happens when your empire suddenly has more alloys than sense.

This is where Stellaris console commands come in. These cheats let you add resources, finish research, control empires, spawn ships, trigger events, or bend the galaxy in ways the normal game usually won’t allow.

Is Rust cross-platform?
Yes, but there's levels to this.
Rust player running by buildings.

Rust is the kind of survival game where choosing the right server matters almost as much as choosing the right weapon. This also reflects on the platform of your choice. If you're you're friends are spread across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, you’ll want to know exactly who can play together before anyone starts building a base.

The answer to the question is simple in one way and annoying in another. Rust supports crossplay between PlayStation and Xbox players, but PC players cannot play with console players. So yes, there is cross-platform support, but only inside the console version of the game.
