A new update is being planned for Dishonored 2 that will add new difficulty modes to the game.
The new update will include a number of other features and will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One on January 23. PC players will be able to download a beta update on Steam on January 18 to test it early.
The level of control a player will have over how difficult Dishonored 2 can be may be the most impressive we've seen in a game so far. Instead of having locked difficult levels, the new update for Dishonored 2 will give players access to 20 different sliders, all of which can be used to adjust the difficulty of different game mechanics.
For example, one slider can change how many enemies are likely to attack you at once, while another can change how quickly it'll take for a sleep dart to take effect. One slider will be named Iron Mode, use this slider and you can turn off manual saving, load functionality and even add permadeath.
Finally, the other major feature of the upcoming

A brand new patch for the Skyrim Special Edition has hit the PC and PS4, and a similar update for the Xbox One is in the works. The patch number has been listed as 1.2 and it includes a number of important fixes, and gameplay tweaks.
After patch 1.1, many players have complained about crashes and other optimization issues - this latest 1.2 patch will address any of these issues. On top of this, the new 1.2 patch will make some much needed changes to some other game bugs that have been pointed out by the community.
This promoted Bethesda to release a beta patch, version 1.2, to address problems introduced with 1.1. Patch 1.2 is now out of beta and has been made available earlier for everyone to download on PC and PS4. The Xbox One update will arrive later this week, Bethesda said.
If you're playing on PC, you will no longer have issues with alt-tabbing whilst playing Skyrim Special Edition. The crash that happened when players turned back into a human from the Werewolf

Bethesda has finally spilled the beans on the Dishonored storyline and we've got plenty of juicy details to share with you about the upcoming game.
First off, let's start with some of the story details we now have. It's been confirmed that Dishonored 2 takes place roughly 15 years after the original game. The Lord Regent may have been taken care of, but the throne has now been taken by an otherworldly creature.
Players must travel through the streets to restore the throne to its rightful owner, Emily Kaldwin. You'll obviously be equipped with all sorts of supernatural abilities, which will certainly make completing your missions far easier.
Now for some details on the actual gameplay. This time, players will have the choice between playing as Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano. It seems, though, that either way players will have the same storyline to follow for the most part. The gameplay experience for both characters will differ, massively. Both characters have their own

We have some interesting information about Fallout 4 sales to share with you. According to Bethesda’s director, Todd Howard, Fallout 4 managed to make more with digital sales on day one than it made with physical sales.
Whilst specific numbers weren't shared, Howard revealed that digital sales numbers for Fallout 4's first day of release managed to outperform physical sales numbers and Howard considered this to be, "A big change."
Whilst it is likely that physical copies made up a large portion of sales on day one, it is interesting to see that the digital format was favored over the physical version on day one. With only physical copies in mind, Fallout 4 managed to ship 12 million copies on day one alone, so sales for the digital version must have been pretty significant.
We don't have numbers on how well digital sales performed after the first week, or first month of Fallout 4's release, but we'd imagine that they managed to at least sit close with the physical sales

If you've been following the development of Fallout 4 then you'll know that Bethesda has a lot of great plans for the game in the near future. Whilst Bethesda will be releasing their own additional content throughout the next year, Bethesda also want to open up new content potential via community mod support.
Not only will Fallout 4 receive mod support on the PC but for the first time mod support will also be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In the past we had no idea about when mod support will arrive for Fallout 4 but Bethesda has recently spoken up about their plans. Todd Howard at Bethesda recently revealed that the PC mod support should be released soon and the consoles should follow after everything has been shown to work smoothly on the PC.
Mod support should hopefully be launched between the first and second DLC packs for Fallout 4.
In an interview with GameInformer, Howard mentioned that their "Goal is between the first two DLCs. It'll go up at that time

Guess what? We're about to get a bunch of information about the first Fallout DLC and it sounds like it could be incredible. Bethesda has been on Twitter to suggest that not only will the upcoming first DLC for Fallout 4 have new content, but it will be making an overhaul to some of the previous gameplay as well.
In one very exciting Tweet, Bethesda mentioned that They are "Doing a complete overhaul of Fallout 4 Survival mode. Food, sleep, diseases, danger and more," and reminded players to stay tuned.
Bethesda has also suggested that we're not far off from the first DLC release for Fallout 4. Hopefully we'll be hearing some very exciting news about Fallout 4 very soon.
With an overhaul to the survival mode, the Fallout 4 experience could be changed drastically. In the past, modders have created mods for the PC version of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas that make it incredibly hard to survive. Whilst we may not be seeing as extreme changes as in some of these mods,

A new game crash has been found in Fallout 4 and it could cause some issues with your current game experience. With any game of this scale, it's not surprising that a potential game breaking bug has been found in Fallout. In fact, it's great that there haven't been any more game breaking bugs being found in Fallout 4 just yet.
Thankfully, most of the bugs and glitches in Fallout 4 are hilarious, true to Bethesda's development style. One bug isn't so funny, however. This bug happens when players head to Mosignor Plaza during a settlement quest. If you attempt to travel to the area, the game will either crash to the desktop or stop responding, depending upon what platform you are running the game on.
So far, players from the Xbox One, PS4 and the PC have complained this bug happens, so whilst it does not occur all of the time it does seem to be quite common for those who follow the same steps listed above. The good news is that the bug has been posted in the Bethesda forums

It has been revealed that Fallout 4 will have a total of 65 different songs on it's soundtrack. All of the 65 tracks on the soundtrack have been composed by Inor Zur specifically for the Fallout 4 game. The main menu music for Fallout 4 was already revealed before, but a lot of the music in the soundtrack has not yet been heard.
On top of revealing the 65 tracks on the Fallout 4 soundtrack, Bethesda has put up the soundtrack on iTunes for $16. So far, Bethesda has not revealed any plans to publish the soundtrack on other places, such as Soundcloud, Spotify, TIDAL, YouTube, Google Play Music or other spaces. That isn't to say that Bethesda won't publish the soundtrack on somewhere other than iTunes, but for right now, the only space to get it is on iTunes.
Whilst the full soundtrack costs $15.99, if you would like to, you can purchase separate tracks for $0.99 each - if you'd just like your favorite tracks, such as the main menu theme, then you'll be able to save some

After going a couple of months without any stock in sight, Bethesda suddenly announced new stock for the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy edition. In the past, the Pip-Boy collector's edition of Fallout 4 sold incredibly quickly.
It is expected that demand for the Pip-Boy edition this time round will be just as high or even higher than before so it's best that you act quickly if you'd like to have the chance of purchasing the collector's edition.
The new stock of the Pip-Boy edition is only available from Bethesda's official store. The version on the store is available for $120, just like everywhere else. Because of the huge demand, Bethesda could probably get away with selling the version for $300, but it's good to see that the price has stayed at $120.
Now that the launch of Fallout 4 is so close, it's likely that this new set of stock for the Pip-Boy edition will be the last chance for Fallout fans to get their hands on the version of Fallout 4. Once this stock has gone, fans will

Fallout's Pete Hines has taken to Twitter to answer a few questions from Fallout 4 fans. As a result, we've managed to learn a few things about romance options, Fallout 3 on the PlayStation 4, and more details about the wasteland.
One PlayStation 4 owner asked whether Fallout 3 was going to make it's way to the PS4. He asked this question because it was recently confirmed that Fallout 3 will soon be playable on the Xbox One. Pete Hines responded by saying that Bethesda haven't worked to put Fallout 3 on the Xbox One but instead have simply allowed Microsoft the rights to make Fallout 3 backwards compatible.
For that reason, if the PS4 were to be backwards compatible as well then players would also be able to play Fallout 3 on the PlayStation 4. As it stands right now, however, only the Xbox One can play Fallout 3 via the Xbox 360 version of the game.
Further through the week Pete Hines mentioned that players will not be able to build settlements anywhere within the
