This mount is only available between November 11-18, so you’ll want to get a move on. There’s an individual challenge called Rainbow is Magic that you’ll need to complete to obtain your noble steed which shouldn’t take you too long to complete.

You need to perform five kills by rushing towards your enemies while on your mount. The easiest way to do this is by weakening five enemies using arrows, abilities, or light attacks with your melee weapon first. Then, when they’re almost defeated, mow them down at speed while riding your mount. You’ll often find groups of enemies walking along the many roads, so that’s your best bet to get this challenge done quickly. Just make sure that you get the final blow while on your mount, otherwise, it won’t count.

When she’s not trying to force everyone to play as a Warlock in Destiny 2, Lauren is either mastering her SEO abilities to help smash the competition, or patting one of her red sons.

It looks like Ubisoft’s finally had it with the Assassin’s Creed Shadows outrage mill: ‘When we self-censor in the face of threats, we hand over our power’

Ubisoft boss says it knows players think it has an ‘inconsistency in quality,’ so it delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows to flip that script

I desperately hope Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Disco Elysium inspire more RPG devs to reject the traditional drip, drip, drip of DLC and expansions
