Racking up around 100,000 downloads on Android alone, Villagers and Heroes is a cross-platform F2P MMO that's getting a fresh new expansion.

Funcom has announced this morning that a free expansion update will be released for its MMO Conan Exiles on 16th August, 2017.

Playing the E3 game very well indeed, Bungie have announced numerous dates and details about Destiny 2 just a month after their dedicated event.

With the grand re-launch of Secret World Legends just a few weeks away, it's time for Funcom to step up the gear when it comes to divulging in pivotal information.

Now that Destiny hype is in full-swing once more, Bungie have begun to a head what appears to be a regular blog/column on their homepage. What's happening 'This Week At Bungie'?

We've known about Destiny 2 for a while, but it wasn't until the official reveal that we were reminded of potential PlayStation 4 exclusivity.

Patch 1.12 doesn't sound like a landmark achievement for any game. But for Minecraft, it's a pretty big deal. Though it's bound to be chock-full of interesting additions and tweaks, a slight addition made in the face of controversy is likely its most talked-about feature.

Sales. They're good for everyone. We don't mean the 'discount' kind necessarily, but they certainly do help. We're talking about solid sales numbers. Units shifted. In the case of Sega, Total War: Warhammer has put them back on the map - and they're hoping that momentum will lend itself to more success further down the line.

Update: After originally targeting a Late-March release, Funcom have now cemented its re-tooled MMO 'Secret World Legends' in for a June 26 release.

The world is one vast, open playground. It is in real-life, and that fact only becomes more drastically true as we look at today's gaming culture. Constantly spoiled by these open spaces with developers constantly trying to build one larger than the last, it's time to look back at what makes these sandbox environments so gripping. And four of the leading development teams will be doing just that at PDXCON 2017 next month.
