Borderlands 2 writer Anthony Burch tweeted an image this morning that seems to have inadvertently revealed the title of the irreverent cooperative shooter’s next DLC expansion. A poster for something called “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep” can be seen in the background of a photo of Gearbox’s Steve Gibson sleeping adorably on a couch in what is presumably the Borderlands developer’s offices. It is the first time that title has appeared anywhere, and Burch’s tweet, spotted by Stealthy Box (via neoGAF), was promptly deleted.

Gearbox teased a new Borderlands 2 expansion at PAX East last month with a video depicting Tiny Tina playing a fictional Dungeons & Dragons-like game called Bunkers & Badasses with the other Borderlands characters. Given the content of that video, “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep” seems as likely a name for the new DLC as any. This morning’s inadvertent tweet leaves little doubt.

Tiny Tina, notably voiced by Burch’s little sister, Ashly, is a rambunctious tween who in Borderlands 2 engages in such wholesome activities as blowing up trains and kidnapping sociopathic bandits. If “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep” really is the next Borderlands 2 expansion, it will be the fourth after Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty, Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage, and Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt.

How to get all Winterfest gifts in Fortnite
Winterfest 2024 key art in Fortnite

Fortnite's much-awaited holiday update has finally arrived as Winterfest 2024 kicked off with a mini live event on the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Royale map. The event consisted of popular singer Mariah Carey breaking through ice and spreading Christmas cheer on the island with her signature song All I Want For Christmas Is You.

After the live event was concluded, the singer became an NPC that can now be found on the island and grants free presents to players when they emote with her to the Christmas track. Epic has also returned the Yule Log Cabin (also known as Winterfest Cabin) and players can claim some free cosmetic rewards by opening gifts.

New Elder Scrolls mod adds more than 160 new quests to Morrowind

The Elder Scrolls VI isn't coming anytime soon, despite how badly we all want it. Even Avowed -- the next closest thing to an Elder Scrolls game we're likely to see -- isn't out until mid-February. If you need something to tide you over, a new mod for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind adds a huge amount of content to the game that makes it worth firing up this 22-year-old gem.

Abecean Shores, a section of the much-larger and still unfinished Project Cyrodiil, is now available. If you recognize the name, then you'll probably be able to guess the setting: the shores of Cyrodiil, the Imperial homeland and the setting for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The mod creators have added a truly ridiculous amount of content into Morrowind, including more than 160 new quests, according to PCGamesN.

EA turned down a Dead Space 4 pitch from the series’ creators
dead space interview gunner wright issac clarke flying through machinery in remake

After last year's excellent Dead Space remake, fans had hopes that EA would bring back the classic, sci-fi-inspired horror franchise for a new release. When Dead Space 2 didn't see a remake, word came out that EA had pumped the brakes on the series for the moment. Now, an interview with series co-creator Glen Schofield confirms the news we've all feared: Dead Space has likely gone the way of the dodo.

In an interview with Dan Allen Gaming, three Dead Space devs told the story of a Dead Space 4 pitch they had made to EA. The company turned it down. While disappointed, the devs seemed to take it in stride. "The industry is in a weird place right now, and people are hesitant to take chances on things," Christopher Stone said. "Take it with a grain of salt. Who knows? Maybe one day. I think we'd all love to do it."
