In a surprise announcement, Intel has revealed that it won’t be making most of the silicon for its new range of desktop gaming CPUs itself. Instead, the forthcoming Intel Arrow Lake lineup will be manufactured by third parties, such as TSMC and Samsung, with Intel Foundry only stepping in at the packaging stage. This is a huge U-turn from the company, which has previously produced its desktop x86 CPUs in house. The statement comes as Intel attempts to turn around its fortunes after disappointing financial results in the last quarter. Intel’s new Arrow Lake CPUs are expected to be released by the end of 2024, when they’re likely to go head-to-head with AMD’s new Ryzen 9000X3D chips in the battle to make the best gaming CPU.

I don’t think we should forget just how good Helldivers 2 still is. Arrowhead’s co-op shooter has been a victim of its own success - when it first arrived, it felt like a revelation, one of the most enjoyable, compelling, and inventive new co-op games of the last five years. Yes, cracks have started to appear. Arrowhead has been back and forth over Helldivers 2 so many times that all the fun feels like it’s been flattened out. And yes, there’s still a sour taste from the PSN debacle. But HD2 is still HD2, and the foundation remains strong. As the long-awaited Illuminate faction breaks cover, Arrowhead says it’s aware of the drop in positive sentiment, and has a big rebalancing plan inbound.

Apart from race, class, and all the details of how Tav looks, players can also choose their character's origin. One origin character bis particularly crucial to the main plot: The Dark Urge (or "Durge" as the character has been colloquially called), a violent entity with an even bloodier backstory.
