It would be unfair to say that superhero MMOs are based entirely on the strength of their costume creation, but that costume creation is pretty darn important just the same. So it’s good to see Ship of Heroes demonstrate what the opposite-gender costumes will look like by showing off the female soldier armor, based off of the armor for one...
The reason you won’t be able to play Fallout 76 with your friends on consoles is because of Sony, according to Bethesda studio director Todd Howard.

So it seems like the right time to roll out the newly robust war mode, which is all about turning on a PvP experience at all times. You place yourself in more danger, but you also have PvP...
