Get 10% off Doom: The Dark Ages and nine extra games for less than £22

Metro24-04-2025

A new charity bundle from Humble Bundle is an absolute steal for both Doom fans and those who loved the recent Indiana Jones game.
Publisher Bethesda appears to be on a roll at the moment. Its remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has been an instant hit with fans, which comes off the heels of the excellent Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, which arrived on PlayStation 5 just last week.
And in just a few weeks it will be launching prequel game Doom: The Dark Ages, which made a strong first impression during the Xbox showcase this past January.
For anyone interested in the game, or who has grown to enjoy the style of Indiana Jones developer MachineGames, Humble Bundle is offering a very enticing package of PC games for less than £25, that also saves you £25 on The Dark Ages.
The bundle in question is titled id & Friends and is a collection of not just the entire Doom series from developer id Software, but also the excellent Wolfenstein games from MachineGames (with the exception of the Youngblood spin-off).
MachineGames' Wolfenstein games works in quite a similar way to Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, although with more of focus on gunplay – although it's still Nazis you're fighting.
Although the original Doom games from the 90s are included in the bundle the earlier Wolfenstein titles are not.
Altogether, it's nine games in total, but the bundle also includes 10% coupons for both the standard edition of Doom: The Dark Ages and its Premium Edition. More Trending
For context, the former is £69.99 while the latter is £99.99, so the coupons would discount them to about £63 and £90 respectively.
The full bundle is only £21.16, but you can opt for cheaper bundles that include two or six of the games (although neither of them come with the Doom: The Dark Ages coupons).
A total of 5% of what you spend will be donated to the Direct Relief charity, which provides medical relief worldwide, and you can opt to spend more money on the bundle by using the Custom Amount tab.
The bundle will only be available until May 11, just four days before Doom: The Dark Ages launches on May 15 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

And they said Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart wouldn't last! Joy of raising an adopted son has helped forge one of Hollywood's strongest marriages

When Harrison Ford started dating Calista Flockhart in 2002 they were met with a sea of skepticism due to their significant 22-year age gap. Despite this, the ultra-private couple have gone on to forge one of the most successful marriages in Hollywood even after his previous reputation as a womanizer. Harrison has three marriages under his belt and even had a three-month affair with Carrie Fisher while filming the first Star Wars movie in 1976 while he was married to Mary Marquardt. But after finding love with Calista, 60, Indiana Jones icon Harrison, now 82, has settled down into a life of married bliss after they tied the knot in 2010. Calista and Harrison - who have a son called Liam, 24, - met at the 2002 Golden Globes, and by the following year, they were living together and Harrison announced he was 'in love' with her, via Hello! magazine. 'Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love and I think there is a potential for it at any stage of your life,' he said at the time. When Harrison Ford started dating Calista Flockhart in 2002 they were met with a sea of skepticism due to their significant 22-year age gap 'I was not surprised that I was able to fall in love, and I wasn't surprised that I did,' added the Indiana Jones icon, who was then 60. Calista remarked then that their age gap didn't faze her, explaining: 'Sometimes I even say: 'Wow, I keep forgetting that he's 22 years older than me".' She insisted: 'It doesn't factor into our relationship at all. I like the way he looks first thing in the morning. It's not handsome, it's more cute. He looks like a little boy.' Notably, Harrison and Calista have never worked together onscreen despite having been romantically involved with one another for over two decades. 'That's just the circumstantial reality where we haven't been offered something where we'd work together,' he told Us Weekly this February, adding that he would 'love to' work with her. It has previously been revealed that their initial meeting was controversial in itself. They first crossed paths at the awards show in 2002, but rumors later swirled that she purposely spilled wine on the actor, so that they could talk to one another - something she has vehemently denied. And their first date was far from ordinary too, since the Ally McBeal star made her friend and costar James Marsden accompany her - which meant the three of them enjoyed an awkward dinner together before going back to Harrison's house for some drinks. Harrison was 60 and Calista was 38 when they first started dating, and many were quick to slam the unlikely pairing - but it seems keeping this marriage fairly private has meant it has stood the test of time. Harrison was married twice before he met Calista. His first marriage was to Mary, whom he met in college. They tied the knot in 1964, and welcomed two sons together - Benjamin in 1966 and Willard in 1969. But after he was propelled into the spotlight during the '70s - thanks to his role as Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise - a slew of cheating allegations started to make their way around the web. Carrie later confirmed that she had a whirlwind, three-month affair with the actor while they were making the George Lucas film series, and he and Mary ultimately split in 1979. He then went on to wed screenwriter Melissa Mathison in 1983, and together, they welcomed a son, named Malcolm, in 1987, and a daughter, named Georgia, in 1990. But that too didn't last, and they separated in 2000, with their divorce finalized four years later. That's when Calista entered the picture. She and Harrison first crossed paths at the Golden Globes in 2002. At the time, he was 60 years old and she was 38, and he was still in the midst of divorcing Melissa. While reports initially claimed that she purposely spilled her drink on the actor so that they could talk to each other, she later cleared the air on what really went down the first time that they met. 'We were having a conversation for maybe 20 minutes before the wine spilled, and the truth is, Harrison spilled the wine,' she told Hello! magazine. Calista - who had just adopted her infant son, Liam - explained that they both knew who the other was, but that neither of them were looking for a relationship. She was focused on motherhood, and 'didn't think' much about their interaction. 'I remember loving him in Mosquito Coast, but I didn't really think about him,' she continued. Even so, they eventually decided to go on a date - but it wasn't as romantic as you might think because James acted as a third wheel. The actor spoke out about the endeavor during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and he said explained that Calista had asked him to tag along. They all had dinner together before Harrison invited her over to his house for drinks, but again, she asked if James could come too. 'Really?' he recalled thinking. 'I don't wanna get my a** kicked by Han Solo.' He didn't share any other details about the date, but Harrison and Calista must have hit it off, because they made their first official appearance as a couple at the 59th Venice Film Festival that September. As soon as news hit the web that Harrison and Calista were dating, many people were outraged by their enormous 22-year age gap. Even so, it didn't seem to defer them. In 2003, Calista addressed their difference in age to People magazine, stating, 'It doesn't faze me.' She also insisted that she was still attracted to him despite being in his late 60s, adding, 'I like the way he looks first thing in the morning. It's not handsome, it's more cute. He looks like a little boy.' During the interview, Harrison gave some rare insight into their romance, explaining that they bonded over their mutual passion for flying. 'Calista loves to fly, and I'm thrilled because it's so important to me and it's the kind of thing that's so much more fun with somebody who really enjoys it,' he revealed. '[Her son] Liam loves to fly. Calista likes the process, she likes what she sees from the air, she likes seeing me happy. 'I think a lot of it has to do with that she loves to see me doing something that I love.' The actor also encouraged others to not give up on looking for love. While Calista had previously stated that their age-gap was not something that she paid attention to, she admitted during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2015 that there was one thing that made it obvious they were years apart - their stance on technology. She revealed that Harrison was just 'learning' how to text and was 'getting better,' but that he couldn't understand how to use emojis. 'He says, 'Where'd you get that picture from?'' she said, referring to whenever she would use an emoji. 'It's really bad.' After seven years together, Harrison got down on one knee and asked Calista to marry him on Valentine's Day in 2009. The two officially became husband and wife in June 2010, during an intimate ceremony in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Harrison also legally adopted Liam. The pair have stayed pretty tight-lipped about their relationship over the years. However, while speaking to Reader's Digest in 2008, Harrison spoke out about his wife's amazing parenting. 'She's the best mother in the world,' he gushed. 'She's a mother by choice - she adopted Liam before we met, as a single parent, which is an awesome responsibility to take. 'She's devoted herself to Liam and has done a really wonderful job raising him. I'm happy to now have a part of the job.' The actor explained that he was delighted to be raising a child again, since his kids were all mostly grown by the time they met. 'She's brought a child back into my home. My youngest, other than Liam, is 17,' he continued. 'It's a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child's growing up, which is always an endless springtime. You see the blossoming and the growing and the nurturing and the payoff.' Then in March 2015, Harrison got into a horrifying, near-death plane crash - when his vintage aircraft hit into an LA golf course after suffering from an engine malfunction - and his wife hardly ever left his side throughout his recovery. 'Calista arrived at the ER shortly after Harrison. She looked concerned and stayed with Harrison until late last night,' a source told People at the time. 'This morning, she drove [their son] Liam to school and then straight to the hospital. She is still at the hospital now.' Afterwards, she reflected on the 'really hard, scary time' to the outlet, explaining that Harrison suffered 'critical injuries' and that it made them 'appreciate every second' they have together. 'I think it just makes you realize once again that life can turn on a dime, and we just have to appreciate every second we're here, because you never know,' she said. He later revealed that his wife told him she was never going to get into a vintage plane with him again after the crash, while admitting that it 'was really hard on their family.' This week Calista looked frail as she was seen on a rare solo public outing. The star, who was snapped kissing her husband on the NYC subway in April, went make-up free and donned a trucker cap as she headed out in LA. Flockhart looked near-unrecognizable as she swept her hair back from her face and wore a casual look of a sweater and baggy jeans over her thin frame. She later covered up her face with a black mask. The star was last seen on a red carpet with her Indiana Jones icon husband Ford back in October 2024. Last year, Calista - who is Harrison's third wife - joked that he was 'afraid' of her, during an appearance on Live! With Kelly And Mark. Shortly before, Harrison had been honored with a lifetime achievement gong at the Critics' Choice Awards, where he praised his wife from the stage. 'I want to thank my lovely wife, Calista Flockhart, who supports me when I need a lot of support - and I need a lot of support,' he said. Calista later remarked that the award was 'an emotional thing' and she was 'very proud,' as her husband's 'body of work is so incredible and it's so well-deserved.'

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 climbs chart after 'unusual' sales boost

One of the breakout games of 2025 is soaring up the charts even a month after launch, surpassing Doom: The Dark Ages in revenue. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 surprised everyone by being an early contender for game of the year, but its sales have also surpassed expectations. Developed by Sandfall Interactive, the French turn-based role-player managed to sell one million units within three days following its launch on April 24. Since then, in very apt timing, the studio announced it had surpassed 3.3 million copies after 33 days. The success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has now taken an 'unusual' turn, as despite coming out in April, it has ascended on Newzoo's revenue chart for May. As reported by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 moved up five places to number eight on the chart, which lists the top 20 games by revenue in the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy across PC and consoles. Newzoo described this movement as 'unusual for a premium title' as they usually drop in sales after their release month. As for the reason behind the increase, the firm believes it is 'a showcase of the strength of a high-quality game and continued word-of-mouth marketing'. Along with these factors, the mid-range £44.99 price of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has also likely contributed to its success – at a time when many new games cost £70. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Notably, the game managed to beat Doom: The Dark Ages, which debuted at number nine. According to Newzoo, the shooter's placement was due to 'a big portion of revenues being tied to Xbox Game Pass'. More Trending While over 95% of full sales for Doom: The Dark Ages came from PlayStation and Steam, Xbox players accounted for 72% of monthly active users on Newzoo's engagement chart. In other words, only a small portion of players actually bought the full game. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 also launched on Xbox Game Pass, but considering Doom: The Dark Ages is significantly more expensive to buy at £69.99, it's perhaps unsurprising that the majority of players went down the Game Pass route instead. The other new addition on the chart was Elden Ring Nightreign, which managed to hit the number four spot despite being released on May 30, 2025. You can check out the top 10 of Newzoo's revenue chart for May below.

Diablo 4 Season 8 end date – when the game steps into a new content drop

The Diablo 4 Season 8 end date is fast approaching, meaning fans don't have long left to complete the content on offer before the ninth season begins in earnest Diablo 4 is set to receive more content in an upcoming update that remains shrouded in mystery, but regardless, many fans will be relieved to bid farewell to Season 8. In a broad sense, Diablo 4 Season 8 has been about endings, making its conclusion all the more fitting. Belial's Return introduced a revamped endgame, which was initially welcomed with open arms before launch – however, the season hasn't exactly been a hit with fans. ‌ Changes to the game's passes have left players feeling exploited for money, and complaints about dull missions and lacklustre efforts from developers have eroded Blizzard's goodwill among the most devoted Diablo fans. It's a challenging time, especially as other games are making their mark – players seeking co-op titles are trying out FBC: Firebreak's unique gameplay, and with the Nintendo Switch 2 launch library offering so much, it's surprising that many players haven't already abandoned ship. ‌ Things are looking a bit grim at the moment, but as Diablo continues to commit to its seasonal releases, there's still a lot of optimism that the game can rally for the upcoming ninth season. After all, the game made quite a splash at launch and demonstrated that Diablo can still hold its own in today's gaming world, despite a few early seasons struggling to validate the model's sustainability before getting back on track. New seasons are a gamble for Diablo fans, and it's clear that not everyone is convinced at this point. Perhaps the game should have taken a leaf out of Bethesda 's book and introduced a new fishing update like Fallout 76. However, more is coming as the end date for Diablo 4 Season 8 nears and a slew of secret, enigmatic changes are set to premiere in the game, hopefully giving it a fresh lease of life. But when exactly will we bid farewell to the current season? Here's what you need to know about the Diablo 4 Season 8 end date.

This has been confirmed by an in-game day timer, which is counting down to this date. No specific time has been announced yet, but we're expected to find out by the end of the week. While there's still a lot to discover about the forthcoming ninth season, it's clear that the end date for Diablo 4 Season 8 is rapidly nearing.
