The Alienware AW3426DW is discounted to $742.22 at Amazon, just over $50 off its usual price of $799.99. It’s not quite the lowest price we’ve seen on this well-equipped gaming monitor, but still a decent discount. The 34-inch screen just came out a couple months ago, and is equipped with Penta Tandem quantum dots for bolder colors than you’ll find on other QD-OLED panel. And of course, it provides the deep blacks and high contrast expected of the display tech.
This ultrawide (21:9) QHD OLED gaming monitor has a 280Hz refresh rate, a fast response time, and a slick design. It’s tough to get more OLED for your money than with this model when it’s discounted.
Alienware supports both Nvidia G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro adaptive refresh rate tech, so PC gamers with modern GPUs can enjoy a smooth frame rate when their systems can’t output a frame rate that matches its native 280Hz refresh rate. The 1800R curve adds an immersive element to the setup, and it has two HDMI 2.1 ports, as well as DisplayPort, and USB-A and USB-C for charging and connecting peripherals.

The new GTA 6 launch trailer song is “Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice, featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The standalone single is available now, meaning you can listen to the full track without having to keep replaying the trailer.
If the music caught your attention while watching Jason and Lucia’s latest story trailer, you can check it out through the following platforms:
The collaboration brings together electronic duo Justice with Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard for an original track featured in Rockstar’s launch trailer. However, Justice’s involvement with Grand Theft Auto VI goes well beyond this single.
Justice Is Composing the GTA 6 Original Score

Alongside the launch trailer, Rockstar Games revealed that Justice is composing the original score for GTA 6. That means the electronic duo is also creating the music that will accompany players during the game itself.
“Flower in a Hurricane” is also included on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. The official soundtrack features 34 original tracks inspired by Vice City and the wider state of Leonida. Players can currently pre-save the album on major music streaming services. If you prefer a physical copy, vinyl and CD editions are also available to pre-order through the official GTA VI: The Album website.
For now, “Flower in a Hurricane” gives fans a full song to listen to ahead of the game’s release, and another reason to have the latest trailer’s music stuck in their heads.
The Dungeons and Dragons: World of Warcraft gameplay expansion release date is approaching quickly and the team behind the book just offered another in-depth preview full of new details about the subclasses that are included.
Dungeons and Dragons Teases New Flavor and Mechanics for World of Warcraft Subclasses
Screenshot: Wizards of the Coast
Dungeons and Dragons players are going to have a ton of exciting choices during character creation for World of Warcraft adventures and campaigns. The extensive new gameplay expansion explains how to bring all WoW classes and every specialization to life at the tabletop.
Although many of the classes and specializations map to existing D&D subclasses, there are nine new or updated subclasses for players to check out, as well. These subclasses were announced earlier, but a new update offers some additional details about the flavor of each subclass and how its mechanics will work.
Here is a breakdown of the biggest new insights from the latest extensive Dungeons and Dragons: World of Warcraft gameplay expansion preview:
Oath of the Ebon Blade (Death Knight)
The Oath of the Ebon Blade subclass adjusts some features in the core Paladin class from the Player’s Handbook. For example, Death Coil replaces Lay on Hands with a pool of dice that can be used to deal damage to enemies or restore Hit Points to Undead, and Runic Smite replaces Paladin’s Smite by swapping the Divine Smite spell with Rune Strike, which deals Necrotic damage instead of Radiant.
Their Runeforging feature grants their primary weapon a rune that bestows a unique ability according to the Death Knight’s specialization: Blood, which manipulates life energy; Frost, which calls upon the forces of winter to slow and shatter foes; or Unholy, which curses and debilitates opponents. When they need to make a hit count, Runic Power allows them to expend a use of Channel Divinity to gain an additional benefit after landing a Rune Strike.
As the Death Knight levels up and slays the foes of Azeroth, they’ll use Runic Mastery to activate a powerful once per day ability from the rune on their primary weapon. At their peak, the Death Knight can use a Bonus action to activate their Aspect of the Horsemen, which allows them to gain the benefits of runes outside their specialization.
Demon Hunter (Demon Hunter)
The Demon Hunter subclass, like the Oath of the Ebon Blade subclass, modifies some of the features in the core class—in this case, Ranger. For example, the Demon Hunter’s Spellcasting Focus is an Arcane Focus (rather than a Druidic Focus) to reflect the nature of the class’ relationship with magic, the Void Warrior option has been added to the Fighting Style feature to allow for Warlock cantrips (rather than Druidic Warrior’s Druid cantrips), and the Ranger’s Feral Senses were replaced with the Demon Hunter’s Improved Spectral Sight to better see through illusions.
Demon Hunters harvest the energy of souls to fuel some of their abilities using the Soul Fragments feature. When a nearby enemy dies, a Demon Hunter can collect that soul fragment. Then, later, the Demon Hunter can cast certain spells with those fragments or use the Soul Cleave trait to emit a whirlwind of soul energy that damages nearby enemies and restores Hit Points. With Spectral Sight, even the initiate Demon Hunter has 10 feet of Blindsight.
Demon Hunters that have slain many Burning Legion hosts and continued to master the arcane arts will gain the Torment feature, which heightens the power of Hunter’s Mark and keeps a marked target’s focus on the hunter. As the Demon Hunter continues its training, they will use Illidari Knowledge to use soul fragments to cast additional spells, including Counterspell and a new ranged attack spell.
As a Demon Hunter hones their skill further, they always start combat with at least one soul fragment and Soul Cleave deals more damage. Once a Demon Hunter reaches the height of their power, no demon or voidwalker or undead pest can escape their Improved Spectral Sight feature and its 30 feet of Truesight.
Warrior of Mystic Brews (Monk)
Warriors of Mystic Brews gain proficiency in Performance to reflect their skill in passing themselves off as nonsensical or erratic, as well as proficiency in Brewer’s Supplies to prepare them for a future in magical beverage-making. At this same time, these Monks also learn their signature Drunken Technique, which grants them additional speed when they use Patient Defense and allows them to make an Unarmed Strike as part of the same Bonus action.
Warriors of Mystic Brews will use the Mystic Brew feature to create potions they can drink that will grant them damage Resistances, a pool of dice that can be used to boost their own healing, or the ability to conjure a Cone of flame. As their skill as a brewer heightens, they can learn new Mystic Brew options, including recipes that bestow luck and improve mobility.
Once they’ve fully honed their craft, this Monk uses Master Brewer to mix two recipes into one drink. Then, they’ll use Intoxicated Frenzy to charge throughout a room and attack everybody within reach, knocking them Prone on a hit.
Oath of the Holy (Paladin)
Once they take their oath, a Holy Paladin will use Oath of the Holy Spells to heal many allies at once, protect their friends from death, and cleanse an ally of a debilitating effect or harmful spell. Additionally, the Beacon of Light feature uses Channel Divinity to wrap an ally with holy energy that restores half as many Hit Points to that ally whenever the Paladin heals anybody else.
As the Paladin slays evildoers and rescues the innocent, they will develop a Lightbringer’s Aura to boost their healing abilities even further. Whenever the Holy Paladin heals creatures within its Aura of Protection, the Lightbringer’s Aura will grant them additional Hit Points. Later, with Infusion of Light, the Paladin can restore its own pool of Lay on Hands points by dealing Radiant damage to enemies—in essence, siphoning the power of life from the agents of Evil and delivering it into the hands of the Good (or at least, the Good enough).
At the apotheosis of their divine power, the Oath of the Holy Paladin can use their Holy Deliverance feature to boost their Aura of Protection. The aura now emanates sunlight (vampires beware), and Bloodied allies that start their turn in the aura regain Hit Points.
Discipline Domain (Priest)
The Discipline Domain is a Cleric subclass. Right from the start, Discipline Priests gain access to Discipline Domain spells that will help them shield allies and devastate enemies. Further reinforcing the Discipline Priest’s dedication to balance, their Channel Divinity option Holy Bolt can damage an enemy and heal an ally at the same time. They’ll also use Atonement to grant a temporary blessing to any creature they heal with a spell; then, when they deal damage to a creature, those blessed allies will regain Hit Points! This allows the Discipline Priest to bring multiple party members back from 0 Hit Points without having to cast a spell like Mass Healing Word—instead, they can impose balance upon the universe by damaging enemies and healing allies at the same time.
As these Priests further hone their practice, they’ll bestow creatures blessed by Atonement with a Luminous Barrier. This magical ward grants Temporary Hit Points and bestows Resistance to all damage while the creature has those Temporary Hit Points.
At the pinnacle of their power, a Discipline Priest can send their Holy Bolt to several enemies at once (healing an equal number of allies in the process, of course), and they can teleport immediately before firing the bolts.
Shadow Domain (Priest)
The Shadow Domain is also a Cleric subclass. Once a Priest has embraced the darkness, they gain access to Shadow Domain Spells (including several new entries) that prepare them to twist minds, drain life, and call upon forces dangerously close to the Old Gods. A Shadow Priest initiate can also use their Channel Divinity to take on a Shadowform, which allows them to Hide more easily and empowers their spells that deal Psychic or Necrotic damage. And with Devouring Plague, they can siphon health from creatures who fail a saving throw.
As they themselves fall deeper and deeper into shadow, the Shadow Priest will be able to take a Reaction that disperses themselves into shadowy energy as a defense mechanism. This Dispersion lasts 1 round, and when it ends, the Shadow Priest can expend Hit Point Dice to regain a massive amount of Hit Points. They can also Fly up to 40 feet, so when they reform into a corporeal champion of Azeroth, they can be out of melee range of the creature that attacked them.
At the height of the Shadow Priest’s power, their Shadowform will also restore Hit Points to nearby creatures when they deal Necrotic or Psychic damage to enemies.
Swashbuckler (Rogue)
Early on in their journey, the Swashbuckler will use Fancy Footwork to evade Opportunity Attacks from creatures they’ve already attacked that turn. When they enter battle, their Rakish Audacity will add a boost to their Initiative, and they can use Sneak Attack when darting into the backlines to solo an enemy mage or archer.
As the Swashbuckler duels their way into becoming a master of their craft, their Panache will add new options to their Cunning Strike repertoire, allowing them to goad opponents into attacking them (before Dashing away with Cunning Action!) or Charm creatures for a short time. Leveling up further, the Swashbuckler will add more options with Dashing Strikes, which can invigorate allies or parry enemy strikes.
Swashbucklers at the top of their game will use the Master Duelist feature to make an additional attack against a target they just hit with a Sneak Attack.
Path of the Spiritual Guardian (Shaman)
Once they begin their training, the Path of the Spiritual Guardian Shaman will summon Spiritual Protectors to Distract, Hinder, or Strike the opponent on a hit. As the Shaman continues their adventures in Azeroth, their Spirit Shield will protect nearby allies from harm.
At higher levels, the Spiritual Guardian Shaman can use Consult the Spirits to cast certain Divination spells without needing Material components. They may ask the spirits for advice about the party’s latest scheme or rely on them to spy on a nearby location.
With their final ability, Spirits’ Fury, this Shaman can make an additional attack when they land a powerful blow, becoming a relentless force of destruction on the battlefield.
Path of the Elements (Shaman)
A Shaman who has just begun to walk the Path of the Elements will call upon the forces of nature with Raging Elements. While a rage is active, they can use a Bonus action to summon powers of ice, lava, or lightning. These powers build on each other, with Icefury empowering the next instance of Fire damage, Lava Burst empowering the next instance of Lightning damage, and so on. This encourages the Shaman to create balance amongst the chaos by moving from one damage type to another.
At higher levels, a Path of the Elements Shaman will use Echo of the Elements to cast certain utility elemental spells by expending a use of Rage. Then, the Primordial Bond feature will cause the elemental magic surging from the Shaman’s rage to bestow a protective effect.
In time, the Elemental Overload feature completes their evolution: their Raging Elements options now reduce enemy damage, deal lasting damage, or damage nearby enemies.
That’s a ton of information to absorb, but it seems like Dungeons and Dragons is going all out when it comes to bringing all the flavor of World of Warcraft’s classes and specializations to the tabletop.
Be sure to check back soon for lots more Dungeons and Dragons news as the World of Warcraft gameplay expansion release date approaches.
Dungeons and Dragons is available now at local game shops and digitally through D&D Beyond, Roll20, and similar online services. The Dungeons and Dragons: World of Warcraft gameplay expansion releases on November 17, 2026.
Rockstar Games has released the GTA 6 launch trailer, revealing new details about Jason and Lucia’s story. The third Grand Theft Auto VI trailer sets up the pair’s criminal adventure across Leonida and features new music from Justice.
GTA 6 Launch Trailer Reveals New Jason and Lucia Story Details

Rockstar Games has released the GTA 6 launch trailer, giving players their first look at the game’s story ahead of its release. While previous videos introduced us to Vice City, Leonida, and its residents, the latest trailer offers more context about the game’s two protagonists and their origins.
For starters, the new story trailer establishes that Jason used to be in the army. However, it appears he didn’t leave on the best of terms and now struggles to get work. We also see Lucia calling Jason from jail, with the pair reconnecting ahead of their adventure together.
You can watch the new GTA 6 launch trailer below:
According to Rockstar’s accompanying description, Jason and Lucia become caught up in a criminal conspiracy after an easy score goes wrong. With trouble stretching across the state of Leonida, the two will have to rely on each other to survive.
“Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”

The setup gives us a better idea of what will drive Grand Theft Auto VI’s story. Incredibly, Rockstar Games has also confirmed that all footage in the GTA 6 launch trailer was captured on the regular PlayStation 5 and NOT the PS5 Pro. So regardless what system you are on, it appears players will be in for a visual treat!
GTA 6 Launch Trailer Features New Music From Justice
Screenshot: Rockstar Games
Alongside the new story details, Rockstar Games confirmed that the GTA 6 launch trailer features new music from electronic duo Justice. The studio also revealed that Justice composed the original score for Grand Theft Auto VI.
That means their involvement goes beyond providing a song for the latest trailer. The music in the GTA 6 launch trailer is an original song called “Flower In a Hurricane”. It was composed by Justice feat. Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: You can listen to the full song now here:

New Fortnite Sprites Release Times Explained
The new Fortnite Sprites released early today, going live onOctober 15 at 2:30 AM PT / 5:30 AM ET. So you can jump into a match and start hunting for them right now!
Unlike the previous update, which added the Trick or Treat variants to the files ahead of their release, this batch is already available to collect. That gives players roughly two more weeks to track down the new additions and master their collection before the Override season ends on October 31.
New Fortnite Sprite Powers Explained

While the October 15 update adds 17 Sprites, most are alternate variants. The two completely new additions are One Wish Willow and Honey, which bring their own abilities to the battle royale.
One Wish Willow helps players collect other Sprites, making it a particularly useful addition if you are still trying to finish your collection. Meanwhile, the Honey Sprite brings a swarm of bees into the action.
Here is a breakdown of the two new Fortnite Sprite powers:

One Wish Willow Sprite

Honey Sprite
Sends bees after enemies who damage you.
The Quack variants give five existing Sprites a shiny new makeover. If Klombo wasn’t already difficult enough to track down, collectors now have another version to chase before the season ends.
How Many Sprites Are in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4?

The October 15 additions bring the total number of Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 to 162, including their alternate variants. That’s a lot of Sprites to collect and master in a single season!
This is also likely the final batch of new Sprites being added during the Override season. While Epic Games could still have a surprise waiting for us, the latest update gives collectors what will likely be their final checklist heading into the last stretch.
When Does Fortnite chapter 7 season 4 End?

Fortnitemares 2026 ends on October 31, which also marks the end of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4’s Override season. That means players have roughly two more weeks to finish collecting and mastering their Sprites.
If you are still missing a rare Klombo variant or haven’t finished leveling your Halloween collection, now is the time to get to work. With One Wish Willow, Honey, and the new Quack variants joining the hunt, there is plenty to keep collectors busy before October 31.
The Conjuring universe has a new chapter, and now audiences can join the fun, or the fear. Netflix released The Conjuring: Unspoken as an interactive story in partnership with Supermassive Games, the studio behind Until Dawnand the Dark Pictures Anthology.
The Conjuring: Unspoken is a new story set in the established universe
The interactive story introduces audiences to the Cooper family – father Jack, oldest daughter Charlotte, and her little sister, Bryony. The family moves to the Red Lion Inn, a rambling, borderline-decrepit structure the introduction describes as “one of the most haunted pubs in Britain”. Ever since arriving at the Red Lion, Bryony has been seeing her mother everywhere. But her mother, Olivia, recently passed away, and the tragedy prompted the Coopers to move to the old inn. They simply wanted to start over, but someone, or something, won’t let them.
Charlotte reaches out to Francesca Noakes, an investigator from the New England Society for Psychic Research, hoping Francesca can help their family. Francesca’s gifts enable her to see, or sometimes even relive, the most frightening moments of someone’s life. Although Jack is initially skeptical, it quickly becomes clear that the Coopers and Francesca are dealing with something very old, very mean, and very vicious. Who survives to tell the tale of the Red Lion Inn and its terrifying tenant depends entirely on the player.
All players need to help the Coopers is a Netflix subscription and their phone
For audiences who want to step into the Conjuring world, the first step is to decide how they want to play. The two options are playing on a computer or on TV. On a computer, like any PC game, audiences can use a keyboard and mouse to navigate the haunted inn, or scan a QR code with their phone to use it as a controller. Similarly, on TV, just scan the QR code to get started. If they haven’t played a Netflix game before, they will be prompted to download the N-Controller app.
When using their phone, players will be prompted to turn up the volume for the best experience, and for good reason. Moving the character around using the controller phone is simple. Four directional arrows appear on the screen, letting you move the character forward, backward, left, or right. Just touch and drag in any direction to guide the character.
The phone also transforms into ghost-hunting equipment. To help in her investigation, Francesca carries an EMF reader, an infrared camera, and a radio. Depending on the situation, the phone becomes any one of these. The EMF reader and the radio both make loud, unsettling noises through the speaker, and the screen becomes the infrared camera’s viewfinder. These tools are crucial to solving the mystery surrounding the Cooper family, so it’s important to know how to use them.
In Francesca’s hand, the EMF reader has a row of lights that range in color from red to blue, with red meaning paranormal activity is nearby and blue meaning it is probably too close for comfort. On the phone, a colored line appears around the edge of the screen, just like the EMF meter: red means the player is far away, and blue means they have found the activity. Use the directional arrows to move Francesca forward until the line changes from red to blue.
With the infrared camera, Francesca can discover important clues, like ghostly footprints or mysterious symbols. To find these clues in-game, move the phone around; when a clue pops up on screen, the camera zooms in and catalogs it. The radio works like the EMF meter, with colored lights guiding the player. Move the radio around until the signal turns blue, meaning you’ve tuned into the spooky signal you need to progress.
The Conjuring: Unspoken is a great crossroads between Super Massive and Conjuring fans
Like Super Massive games, whose narratives are driven by player choice, each decision is a crossroads that determines where the story goes, including whether characters get hurt or survive at all. It also shapes how they interact with and feel about each other; for example, Jack may fail to trust Francesca if players make certain choices. The element that works so well in games like Until Dawn translates just as well here. While choices often determine the ending in video games, presenting them as split-second decisions makes them more exciting.
Although Ed and Lorraine Warren are only mentioned and not seen, that’s enough to anchor the story in the overall Conjuring universe. The game opens on the infamous Annabelle doll, sitting in the room of haunted artifacts in the Warrens’ house. The new characters are the focus of The Conjuring: Unspoken, and their performances shine, particularly Emma McDonald as Francesca. The story is fairly straightforward, but its emotional depth lifts it up, from the family’s grief to the love they still have for one another.
Whether you’re a fan of Supermassive Games, the Conjuring movies, or both, the game combines the best elements of each into a fun, engaging interactive story, and its relatively quick runtime means it doesn’t overstay its welcome.
DLCs, or downloadable content, let players explore a new chapter of their favorite games. Whether it’s a whole new story, a continuation of the previous game, or an entirely fresh perspective, DLCs are exciting games in their own right. Here are three DLCs across genres, from action survival to racing, that will be available before the end of the year.
1. DayZ: Badlands
Releasing October 15, DayZ: Badlands expands the world of open-world survival game DayZ, which centers on an apocalyptic society filled with vicious, infected people roaming a fictional wasteland outside Russia. Staying alive is the game’s most important and most challenging aspect; there are no checkpoints or manual save points, and if your character dies, you lose all progress.
In Badlands, players can explore a new map called Nasdara, a huge desert terrain and the biggest map yet at 267 square kilometers. The climate is also a foe players must contend with, with arid desert temperatures leaving them thirsty, while the area also offers cosmetics, weapons, and other items specific to the region. Like the main game, survival is up to the player, who can write their own story in the Badlands.
Day Z: Badlands will be available on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.
2. Brotato: Primal Dread
This DLC returns players to Potato World starting November 2, where players must survive on an alien planet as a potato armed with a variety of weapons and other items. The original game, Brotato, offers a co-op option for up to four players. Brotato is the only survivor of a spaceship crash, and he has to fight his way to survival. Players must survive an onslaught lasting anywhere from 20 to 90 seconds, with wave after wave of alien foes attacking.
In Primal Dread, Brotato finds himself in a vast jungle where the inhabitants aren’t any friendlier than those he met previously. The DLC adds a new map with plenty of new enemies. Players can also choose from fresh potatoes, plus new weapons and other items.
Brotato: Primal Dread will be available on PC at launch and will port to consoles, including PlayStation and Xbox, next year.
