Along with the High Elves, Dark Elves, and one race yet to be announced, the Lizardmen are one of the four playable races in Total War: Warhammer II.

In Morrowind, nothing is as it seems. The cut-throat world of Dunmer politics overshadows everything in Vvardenfell; the constant scheming and battles for influence between the Great Houses puts Morrowind in a constant state of treachery.
Players exploring Vvardenfell in The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind have to negotiate their competing allegiances to the three great houses: House Hlaalu, House Redoran, and House Telvanni. And they will have to keep one eye open and the other on their backs, because you never know who is truly a friend or foe in Morrowind.
The new “Assassins and Great Houses” trailer teaches you what you’ll need to know to survive the dark, courtly intrigues of Vvardenfell. The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on June 6th.
Koei Tecmo confirmed today the upcoming western release of Dynasty Warriors 9, a brand-new installment in developer Omega Force’s series of action titles. Unifying the classic “one versus thousands” action iconic to the Warriors series with a variety of new features, characters and content in an expansive open world environment, Dynasty Warriors 9 aims to deliver the most ambitious Dynasty Warriors experience to date.
In Dynasty Warriors 9, players will explore China as it existed when feudal warlords vied for dominance over the land – the waning days of the Han dynasty and emergence of the Three Kingdoms era. Setting out to complete various objectives, players will utilize a world map to navigate and traverse a variety of different landscapes ranging from vast plains to snow-covered peaks presented with dynamic day/night and weather cycles. Exploring these environments is made more engaging through the ability to adapt to surroundings to gain an upper hand in battle, with players able to use equipment to circumvent obstacles or blend in to avoid conflict.
The new narrative of Dynasty Warriors 9 is portrayed across the game’s Critical Missions and Regular Missions which intertwine to allow players to experience history across a multitude of perspectives and battles throughout the whole of China. 83 characters from the Dynasty Warriors series make their return in addition to new faces such as Cheng Pu, a long-term retainer who supported three generations of the Sun family and contributed to the expansion and stability of the Wu kingdom.
Platforms, release timing, and more information on the game’s new features, characters, and narrative will be unveiled in the coming months.
