Explore two new dungeons and continue your Legacy of the Bretons year-long adventure in The Elder Scrolls Online: Lost Depths dungeon DLC.

Available via ESO Plus membership or for purchase from the in-game Crown Store, the Lost Depths DLC is now live on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. Featuring two exciting new dungeons, Graven Deep and Earthen Root Enclave, Lost Depths will challenge you and your party while telling all-new stories that expand upon the lore of the Systres Archipelago and the Bretons.

Graven Deep

Shipwreck upon an uncharted island and explore a vast underwater Dwaven complex as you battle your way past vicious native monsters and the restless undead. Uncover the origins of the terrible storms that surround this perilous region of sea and investigate the lost lore of the Druid King and his legendary journey to the Systres Archipelago.

Earthen Root Enclave

Formerly a haven for all the druids of the Systres, Earthen Root Enclave has come under attack by the vicious Firesong Circle, and Druid Laurel needs your help repelling the invaders before they can seize one of the enclave’s most revered relics. Deal with the Firesong’s fanatical druids, corrupted beasts, and tortured spirits standing in your way and purge this once-sacred sanctuary.

Secrets of the Systres

Both of these four-player PvE dungeons will confront your party with new mysteries to uncover and challenging bosses to overcome as you experience two new stories that set up the future events of the Legacy of the Bretons year-long saga. Don’t worry, both Graven Deep and Earthen Root Enclave also have their fair share of rewards, too, including powerful new item sets and unique collectibles you can’t get anywhere else, such as the colorful Mulberry Hermit Crab pet!

With new dungeons to explore, stories to experience, and unique rewards to earn, The Elder Scrolls Online: Lost Depths DLC is now live on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles—good luck!

We’re thrilled to announce that Season Seven Community Day will be arriving on Sea of Thieves’ shores on September 17! As a Talk Like a Pirate Day special, this event is going even bigger on the rewards available across the weekend, with a stunning smorgasbord of in-game and out-of-game delights primed and ready for your pirating pleasure.

This latest Community Day will feature a generous Renown boost from the very beginning, speeding up your progress through Season Seven’s 100 levels of earnable rewards. But as with our very first Community Day, it’s gold and reputation that will be significantly boosted by our community tweet-along this time. That multiplier will be in your hands as all players work together to raise the Community Emissary Grade. Everyone using the #SeaofThievesCommunityDay Twitter hashtag from 10am UTC on the day will be contributing to that effort, with the maximum level of Community Emissary Grade Five offering a handy two-and-a-half times the amount of gold and reputation until the end of the event.

Not only that, but for the first time ever, Grade Five will unlock an increased spawn rate for Ancient Skeletons for the rest of the event! When smashed, these particular skeletons drop a random number of Ancient Coins that can be claimed by you and your crew. These can be spent in the Pirate Emporium, where the stock ranges from amazing ship sets and weapon collections to costumes, pets, and even emotes – so you won’t want to miss your chance to slash some of those high-value skellies on the day! Especially as our Pirate Emporium shopkeepers will also be slashing their prices for the occasion.

More Gifts and Goodies

From September 15 to September 20, players will be able to pick up a stunning array of celebratory fireworks from the Merchant Alliance – and even just logging in will earn you a free emote. The Arrrgh! Emote will go straight into the Vanity Chest of all sailors who play Sea of Thieves during the event period, and you’ll also find the Ranting Rogue Emote available to pick up for free when you visit the Pirate Emporium during that time. Perfect for all your Talking Like a Pirate needs.

Of course, Community Day brings a themed login bonus of its own, with the free Season Seven Community Day Flag ready to be hoisted high for September 17’s event. Our Rare merchandise store sale returns for Community Day too, with a Season Seven commemorative T-shirt and flag available to buy for a limited time over the weekend. And all you pirates who love real-world loot can use the discount code COMMUNITYDAY to get 30% off Sea of Thieves items!

With Community Day also comes a celebration of our amazing artists, players, creators and community MVPs – so as is customary, we’ll be scouring our channels and the #BeMorePirate hashtag for amazing Sea of Thieves stories from now until the end of the big day. Wow us with your creations and adventures this Community Day, and worthy winners will be awarded the Hat of Unfeasibly Glorious Fame! So if you think you or one of your crewmates deserves attention, as well as a particularly rare and fetching hat, you know what to do.

Twitch will also be getting in on the party, with the Gilded Phoenix Hull available via Twitch Drops between September 17 (10am UTC) and September 18 (10am UTC). Watch any participating streamer play Sea of Thieves for an hour to spruce up your ship with this glorious golden hull – and anyone can offer this Drop, not just Sea of Thieves Partners! Meanwhile, if you’d like to spend some time watching Sea of Thieves TV, we’ll be running an event stream of our own which puts you, the community, firmly in the driving seat of the broadcast. Tune in on the day to take control of our stream team as they venture out onto the Sea of Thieves and undertake a wild journey of your choosing…

While there’s a lot of gold and glory on offer, don’t forget: the real journey is the friends we make along the way to bagging big rewards. Community Day is the space in our calendar for coming together and celebrating everything that makes the Sea of Thieves so wonderful to sail upon – and that’s you, our players. We hope you can join us to share the love for the pirate’s life (and language!) over this special weekend, so mark your maps for Sea of Thieves Season Seven Community Day on September 17. We’ll see you on the seas!

Whether you’ve Spear Tackled someone off the roof of the Grapital Building to secure a victory in Rumbleverse or suffered defeat on the receiving end of an Emerald Crusher, there’s one thing everyone will be talking about: What were you wearing?

Today we’re excited to announce a new Perk for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members: the exclusive Smash Boxer Set. It has everything you need to show your Xbox Green spirit, complete with boxing headset, gloves, tank top, trunks, and shoes. You’ll also get an exclusive title card background and border plus a 120-minute gameplay Fame booster to help grow your fanbase and level up your Battle Pass even faster.

When developer Iron Galaxy Studios first showed the game to the Epic Games publishing team, we were blown away by the over-the-top, fast-paced brawler gameplay. That wasn’t surprising, given that Iron Galaxy Studios has over a decade of online fighting game experience working on games like Killer Instinct.

But one thing we didn’t expect and excited us was the depth of player customization. In Rumbleverse, you can truly create a persona that’s wholly unique to you, with 14 points of customization. Mixing and matching different items means there’s so much opportunity for flaunting your style, whether you’re instilling fear into the competition or knocking ‘em off their feet with a head-turning look. The Smash Boxer Set is a great way for Xbox Rumblers to fill out their lockers for even more choices on how they want to look, and we can’t wait to see what players come up with.

If you’ve already started your journey towards Rumbleverse greatness, we want to thank you for trusting us enough to let us launch you out of a cannon into a city of 39 other brawlers, all looking to tear your head off with an Omega Uppercut.

If you’re new to the Rumble, Rumbleverse can be downloaded and played free on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One. There are enough Squats, Chicken, and protein shakes to go around, so we’ll save you a seat on the weight bench. We hope to see you in Grapital City soon!

Each round is a new opportunity to discover new moves and perks that’ll give you the edge in your quest for glory.

Autumn is the time when the ocean is roaring. And time to enjoy new content, too: it’s a good thing World of Warships: Legends is packed with new content in the latest update! 

Alternate German Battleships in Early Access

A new tech tree line is coming! Alternate German battleships with a personal mission for each will be available through regular and big Early Access crates. These battleships are all about improved secondary guns. They also have torpedoes on board at higher tiers, as well as a SONAR consumable from Tier V on. Plus, the Damage Control Party has a unique way of functioning – it only has three charges but reloads quicker than the same one on the counterparts. 

The ships to get are Tier IV Derfflinger, Tier V Mackensen, Tier VI Prinz Heinrich, and Tier VII Zieten – the first ship of that tier ever to become obtainable through the Early Access framework. 

Tier VIII Prinz Rupprecht will arrive with the next update – that means the line will be researchable in the tech tree from that exact moment.

Bushido Campaign

The infamous battleship Musashi of Tier VIII is the headliner of the newest campaign! To get her huge guns and humongous HP pool under your flag you’ll have to blast through 100 milestones in 5 weeks with Admiralty Backing active, allowing for a sizable batch of rewards alongside. Catch-up mechanic and additional tough missions for all the salty dogs out there are included too.

Transformers Return to the High Seas in Style

More Transformers content incoming! Six new skins for Tier VIII République and Legendary ships, including such powerhouses as Montana and Minotaur, are in the newest batch of collaboration. Even better news, the entire range of collab will be available in the store, including Commanders such as Optimus Prime and Megatron themselves, plus more ship skins and revamped containers.

Ranked Battles Milestone

With seasons 29, 30, and 31 coming in this update, Ranked Battles are passing a solid landmark. There have been a lot, including 1vs1 clashes! These seasons will feature battles in teams of 4, with no carriers, only 1 destroyer per team, and divisions available for our captains.

Legendary Carriers are Here

More newcomers! Legendary Tier USN Midway and IJN Hakuryū are here in form of the newest Bureau projects, available either for doubloons or credits. Midway has the biggest HP pool of the aircraft carriers, and her bombers carry long-range torpedoes, while her Japanese peer boasts very swift squadron restoration time, which means more attacks during each game.

Majestic Days

A special World of Warships: Legends in-game event is starting on September 12 and features three weeks of small missions (3 each day with rewards; missed ones can be completed for doubloons) with the Tier III Premium battleship Agincourt of the Royal Navy proudly serving as the final prize! She brings numerous guns and a very solid secondary armament – joint-best at her Tier in terms of range.

Don’t fear the autumn storms and turn the tide!

• Fans of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei are probably curious about what sorts of differences they can expect from Soul Hackers 2. First off, Soul Hackers 2 features a smaller, adult cast of characters, with relationships that are a bit more complex and complicated. In order to develop and forge the bonds between their newly-resurrected allies Arrow, Milady, and Saizo, Ringo can traverse the Soul Matrix, a vast labyrinth of her teammates’ collective minds. Learning more about them and piecing together the events that led to their untimely passing in this neon-noir, cyberpunk thriller is compelling theater, and it’s the first reason you should check out Soul Hackers 2.

• Secondly, there’s the game system. Battles are fast-paced, dynamic fun with a number of unique wrinkles that set it apart from its Persona and SMT influences. Combat in Soul Hackers 2 is challenging yet balanced and you have the ability to equip any demon for use in battle by any character. It feels kind of like a cozy fusion of Persona’s stylish menus and lighter tactics with a dash of elements from SMT.

• Speaking of fusions, that’s one place that Soul Hackers 2 will feel very familiar. You’ll still fight, negotiate with, and fuse your favorite demons. Fusing your demons together into more powerful ones at the Cirque de Goumaden is quite the grandiose spectacle, with special fusions required to create some of the rarer demons. Additionally, in this game, you can use the Demon Recon feature to send your recruited demons out to bring back money, materials, and even new demons to recruit.

And there you have it; a gripping, unique story and setting, fun and refined game system, and the promise of being reacquainted with fan-favorite demons, three great reasons for you to pick up Soul Hackers 2. If you’ve been searching for the next great RPG to sink your teeth into, look no further — Soul Hackers 2 has what you’re looking for.
