After 12 years, The Elder Scrolls Online is changing. The introduction of a new seasonal model is set to overhaul the very structure of the MMORPG, starting with Season Zero on Thursday April 2. To guide us into this brave new world is the 2026 ESO Seasons Direct, where executive producer Susan Kath and game director Nick Giacomini walk us through what Zenimax Online Studios has been cooking up for this first step into a new world. As good as the initial few months are looking, it's Season One that's actually got me lacing up my adventuring boots, with the promise of some proper old-school questing.

The PlayStation 6 has yet to be officially announced, but the current price hikes for components like RAM and SSDs are making it challenging to predict how much the system will cost when it launches in 2027 or 2028. A "reasonable" price shouldn't be expected, according to known Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, as the days of $500 consoles are likely over.

There are also some hostile robots, ominously hanging about, some more literally than others. It’s probably fine.

Unfolding throughout a lunar research station full of robots that have turned bloodthirsty after a mysterious quake, players primarily control Hugh. While armed with shotguns, pistols and even tools to incapacitate certain threats, he’s unable to damage them. This is where the human-like android Diana helps out by hacking enemies to expose their weak points.

The result is a third-person shooter where you’re dodging attacks and firing with Hugh while simultaneously completing maze-like puzzles as Diana. Different hacking modules provide unique benefits, including increased damage, and you can visit the Shelter for further upgrades.

Pragmata is available on April 17th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2. There’s a free standalone demo, which has already been downloaded two million times, to try out.
