Pre-alpha will take place on December 5th-6th, but chosen testers will have to claim their time slots if selected.
Elder Scrolls Online has made the decision not to support the ARM-based Macs, citing the challenges to port over as massive a game as ESO to the new platform.
Finally, our Assassin's Creed Valhalla review is live. After almost 70 hours of story, exploration and failing at stealth, we really enjoyed our time in Viking-age England.
