EA's shown off the first have released the first official trailer for the The Sims 4's next add-on, a stuff pack entitled The Sims 4: Nifty Knitting.
Nifty Knitting is the second add-on to The Sims 4 to have had its theme, name, and contents voted on by the player community, following on from 2018's Laundry Day stuff pack. As the name suggests, the main focus of the pack will be the knitting skill—a brand new addition to The Sims franchise which will allow Sims to craft their own clothing designs and decorative items, as well as sell them on Plopsy (The Sims' rather unflatteringly named version of Etsy) for extra simoleons.

The next Hearthstone expansion is themed around the magical education provided by the Scholomance Academy, where Kel'Thuzad is a frankly questionable choice of headmaster.

It's been seven months since the release of Moonshiners, the last update to Rockstar's Wild West multiplayer adventure Red Dead Online, and the players are starting to get a little antsy.

The latest handful of Cyberpunk 2077 concept art images focuses on Santo Domingo, and it's the polar opposite of last week's glimpse of the Westbrook region. While the latter is a verdant expanse of foliage, fields and strange modern architecture, Santo Domingo is where the (far) less advantaged citizens of Night City reside.
