The next Fortnite Chapter is set to go live this Saturday, and there are a ton of new features ready to launch alongside it, including a new battle pass, movement mechanics, and maps.

Critical Role was a humble D&D livestream experiment begun on Geek and Sundry circa 2015. Since then, it's become a massive company, producing TTRPG systems and TV shows with millions in funding, and it's finally set its eyes on the world of videogames. That's according to a recent interview with Rolling Stone, wherein CEO Travis Willingham, who plays Grog Strongjaw in both the animated series and the livestreamed show, reveals that it's become "an active pursuit" for the crew.

Even though Shadow of the Erdtree only arrived in June, the beast still hungers. The beast is us, and we're hungering for more Elden Ring. During the PlayStation Partner Awards in Japan, as reported by IGN Japan, director Hidetaka Miyazaki unsurprisingly found himself fielding questions about the possibility of more Elden Ring—though we already knew Shadow of the Erdtree would be its only expansion. But what about a sequel?

Ah, if only all the news posts were this easy.
