Zhou Yizhou isn’t as hard to become friends with as some characters, but figuring out how to win his favor can be a little challenging. This guide explains exactly how we managed to befriend him. Here’s how we did it.
2026 looks like a big year for FromSoftware. They’re releasing a new multiplayer game, The Duskbloods, sometime this year, which is great news. But it seems they have even more projects in the works. FromSoftware usually has multiple games being developed at once – they released the huge Elden Ring only three years after Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. While they often surprise us, we can still make some reasonable predictions about what they’ll be working on in 2026.
Since releasing Where Winds Meet worldwide in November 2025, Everstone has consistently updated the online game with fresh content. The December 2025 update was particularly significant, increasing the game’s already large map by a full third. Along with the expanded zones, players enjoyed new story quests, special events, and challenging battles. Everstone continued this momentum with another substantial update in January, proving they weren’t a one-time success.
Since Skyrim became a fan favorite, many excellent fantasy role-playing games have been released. While some of the best open-world RPGs of the last ten years weren’t made by Bethesda, and it’s natural to revisit Skyrim while waiting for The Elder Scrolls 6, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, released in 2023, is actually a better game to play in the meantime.
The game will come in two versions: a Standard Edition for $49.99 and a Deluxe Edition for $59.99. The Deluxe Edition includes a digital artbook, the game’s soundtrack, two unique armor sets for players, and eight different skins for companions.
The scene shows the main character facing off against one opponent by a lake bathed in moonlight. Everything then transforms into a dreamlike painting, and they must battle a Phantom that can change its shape, appearing as previous bosses like the River Master, Dao Lord, Murong Yuan, and Zheng E. Knowing how these past enemies fought will be crucial.
On January 7th, Elder Scrolls Online shared its plans for 2026 in a detailed livestream. The biggest news is that ESO is changing how players access new content. Instead of buying an annual pass for new areas and events, all future seasonal content will be free for everyone who plays ESO. They’re also adding Tamriel Tomes, a new reward system similar to a battle pass, to make earning in-game items easier. These changes, along with other improvements, are designed to modernize the game. If you’ve been considering returning to ESO or trying it out, 2026 could be a great time to jump in.
It’s been ten months since I gave Monster Hunter Wilds a 4.5/5 rating, and I still feel strongly about that score. It’s easily one of my favorite games of the year. Since then, the game’s development seems to have gone back and forth. While Wilds is a fantastic combat-focused game with amazing boss fights and beautiful equipment, it’s also been held back by some inconsistencies. Capcom has had trouble deciding on a clear vision for the game, trying to satisfy different players and struggling with a PC version that, even after ten months, still doesn’t run well.
As a long-time fan, I’ve loved how the Elder Scrolls series has always brought us these incredible fantasy worlds. The earlier games like Arena and Daggerfall really let us explore a huge chunk of Tamriel, while Morrowind was just wonderfully weird. Oblivion felt like a classic fantasy adventure, and Skyrim really nailed a specific, tough, and wild vibe. Now, with The Elder Scrolls VI on the way, I’m not worried about the size of the world – Bethesda always delivers on that! What I’m really excited about is figuring out where they’ll take us next, and how they’ll make it feel totally new and different from everything we’ve seen before.
Many fans consider Morrowind to have the strongest magic system in The Elder Scrolls series, thanks to its detailed spell creation tools that let players truly feel like powerful mages. Later games, like Oblivion and Skyrim, simplified this system, with Skyrim ultimately removing the ability to create custom spells. However, even Morrowind isn’t necessarily the best magic system ever – several other games offer comparable or even more impressive magical experiences.
