WWE 2K24 devs reverse permaban for popular content creator after fan backlash goes viral 2K GamesWWE 2K24 devs have reversed popular video game content creator WhatsTheStatus’ permaban after facing widespread community backlash and a fan-led social media campaign. Prolific WWE video game content creator ‘WhatsTheStatus’ sparked a fan-led social media campaign after developer 2K Games hit him with a permanent ban for “inappropriate content” from the latest release, WWE 2K24. The permanence of the sudden ban saw passionate fans rally behind the creator, starting a “Free Status” hashtag on social media that quickly started trending with well over 13,000 posts. Now, Status has revealed the community backlash achieved its goal, announcing on X (formerly Twitter) that 2K Games reached out and had “come to an agreement” with the creator, overturning their decision to implement a permaban. “WWE games [and] I have met on how my mods can impact the game,” Status wrote on April 17. “We’ve come to an agreement, and a fair one at that.” The popular creator then shared that he was now “free”, thanking fans for coming together and fighting 2K Games’ decision; “Thanks to all of you, my ban has been lifted.” Just a day beforehand, Status had offered an update in which he expressed his belief that the ban would be “for good” and shared how grateful he was to see the community care so much about his content; “At times I felt like if I got banned people would just move on without caring, Im glad I was proven wrong. I will never forget this.” He also warned others to “beware of your WWE 2K24 uploads” by posting “a couple of things that break [terms of service].” The list was as follows: More than 1 hair on a creation – Updated Ingame models with makeup and new [tattoos] and hair or anything related to their physical [appearance]. – Leftover/Hidden Commentary & Leftover/Hidden content in general – Image points bypass in creations – Creations with advance title entrances – Any Intergender stuff in general – Flatten hair headpieces or invisible parts. – Arenas with parts in places that shouldn’t be. – Created Wrestlers as Alternative Attires – Height mod – Multiple clothing items in one section –

WWE 2K24 devs remove content after former ECW wrestler threatens to sue 2KA former ECW wrestler forced the WWE 2K24 devs to remove certain content from the game due to trademark issues. WWE 2K24 is set to release on March 8, 2024, the next iteration of the wrestling franchise aiming to continue the success from recent entries by bringing in even more match types, mechanics, and more. However, ahead of its release, developer 2K has found themselves in the middle of controversy after a former ECW wrestler called out the company for using her trademarked name. When it comes to the world of wrestling, the name and branding can be just as important as a move set, in-ring gear, and more. Former WWE/ECW wrestler Francine took to Twitter to call out 2K for using her trademarked “Queen of Extreme” moniker and assigning it to current WWE wrestler Liv Morgan. In Francine’s initial tweet, the former ECW wrestler revealed that she had previously gotten her lawyer to email the company in regards to this trademark and that they had still not rectified the matter. “Hey WWE Games, I have The Queen of Extreme trademarked. Do you need something sent to you guys again from my lawyer?” When WWE fans began hitting back against Francine for calling 2K out, she once again tweeted. “To all the ignorant 20-somethings that are trolling me, I’ve used #QueenOfExtreme for decades and paid for the trademark. Which means no one else can use it. It starts with a tweet, then used in entrances and on games, mags, etc. You have to fight for what is legally yours.” Francine then tweeted out one last time in regards to the issue, confirming that 2K had removed the “Queen of Extreme” nickname from the game and from Liv Morgan’s character. “They took it down. Good on them! They did the right thing. For those who always support me, I [love] you! All I can say is the block feature was utilized a lot today lol. What’s right is right! Always stand up for yourself!”

WWE 2K24 devs respond after CM Punk calls them out for not including him WWEWWE 2K24 devs have revealed CM Punk will indeed be added to the game as DLC after the wrestler called them out for not including him at first. When it comes to each and every WWE 2K game, part of the excitement for fans is seeing what changes have been made to the roster. Which wrestlers have been added to the lineup and which ones no longer make the cut. And while some don’t get the love the first time around, 2K always includes DLC wrestlers that can be unlocked via the season pass. For CM Punk fans, the WWE 2K24 DLC roadmap has answered their prayers, the company confirming that Punk will be added into the game in a future update. For wrestling juggernaut CM Punk, his omission from the upcoming WWE 2K24 title left him and his fans struggling for answers. However, Punk was committed to finding out the truth, going live and taking on the WWE game devs in a new video that has been going viral online. In the footage, Punk first began by explaining that he understands not being put in the base game given his recent return to the WWE. “Good morning. I’m going to talk about video games for a second now. I know that 2K has released the full roster of the new WWE video game, Cody’s on the cover by the way check it out, it’s pretty cool. I’m not in the game. “Now I understand being a little late to the party, returning to the WWE, and not being able to be put in the game.” Despite this recency of his re-signing with the WWE, CM Punk will indeed be a playable character in the new title after all. Much to the happiness of all his fans. WWE 2K24 is set to release on March 8, 2024.

WWE 2K24 cover artist responds to accusations of AI generated artwork 2K GamesOne of WWE 2K24’s cover artists has been forced to shut down accusations that he used AI in the design after fans flooded social media with complaints. Wrestling fans, you’re in luck. Developer 2K has just dropped the first major details for their upcoming WWE 2K24 title. This news includes match types, confirmed roster, and much more. However, one aspect of the recent string of WWE 2K24 news that is getting major attention online is the cover art. While the standard features Cody Rhodes, and the deluxe has both Bianca Belair and Rhea Riplyer, the special Forty Years of WrestleMania edition includes many big-name wrestlers like Stone Cold, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and more. After this new design was revealed by 2K, fans were quick to take to social media and claim that the new art may have been developed by AI, pointing out specific parts of the design such as Stone Cold’s suspicious fingers or John Cena’s jumbled shirt pattern as being evidence to support the theory that the art is AI created. In light of this, the cover art designer Jonathan Bartlett, has taken to social media to defend his design and reveal that 2K did not in fact use AI to create the new visual. On social platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Bartlett defended his design and also pointed out his stance on the use of AI in gaming and revealed that he is strongly against it. “Ummmmmm HI. this is 100000000% human-made, by me,” Bartlett began. “Honestly, I’m gonna triple down on my F**K A.I, because this is what we deal with now. Skepticism from others that will be quick to jump to a conclusion without giving it thought. And now here I am defending my hard-earned AND learned craft of picture making.” Some fans who first accused the game and artist of using AI in the design have since apologized to Barlett. One X user wrote, “Sorry that happened to you dude, and I’m sorry that I also thought it was AI at first. I think a lot of artists are paranoid now because we’re seeing more big brands trying to use AI and are looking deeper into work to see if a company is trying to use AI art.”

WWE 2K24 content creator trends after devs hand out permanent ban 2K GamesProlific WWE video game content creator WhatsTheStatus is trending across social media after developer 2K Games hit him with a permanent ban from the latest release, WWE 2K24. WWE 2K24 has only been on store shelves for a few weeks, yet the in-game content creation tools are already paving the way for countless sensational additions. Be it custom arenas, wrestlers from other promotions joining in an unofficial capacity, or even just unique signs for the crowd, the game allows players to run wild with its many creative features. However, one of the community’s most popular creators just got blocked from the new release. WhatsTheStatus had his entire suite of custom creations removed from the game on April 23, before having their account hit with a permanent ban hours later. The reasoning for the ban? A “generic message” splashed across the creator’s screen claims it has to do with “inappropriate content,” which in turn, violates WWE 2K24’s End User License Agreement. “This ruling is final and ban appeals are not being accepted,” the message also states clearly. Over the past few weeks since the game’s release, WhatsTheStatus has been hard at work adding all manner of unique creations to the game. In particular, a bunch of additional wrestlers were crafted from the ground up, while many existing wrestlers were given alternate looks, with the creator pumping out tons of WrestleMania 40 gear options, for example. At the time of writing, there’s no quite telling what exact upload constituted as “inappropriate content.” As many have been quick to point out since the ban, a handful of pesky users uploading genuinely inappropriate content still remain active in the game’s community, despite their evident violations. When pressed for comment by Video Games Chronicle, a 2K spokesperson reiterated “the player in question has received an indefinite ban due to violations of terms. Mods which negatively impact the game experience for other players violate our terms.” Given the sudden nature of the ban and its permanence, WhatsTheStatus has been trending across social media as thousands of passionate fans voice their displeasure with 2K’s decision. In particular, the hashtag ‘#FreeStatus’ has been exploding on X (previously Twitter), with over 13,000 posts at the time of writing. As one of the game’s most beloved community creators, WhatsTheStatus’ uploads amassed a whopping 1.7 million downloads in the newly released WWE 2K24 prior to his ban. In speaking with WhatsTheStatus, Dexerto was informed 2K Games staff have followed him back on X, but “no conversation has been held yet.” Dexerto will keep you posted as the situation develops.

WWE 2K23 review: Incredible action from bell to bell WWE 2K23 is an improvement on the previous iteration in almost every way and 2K Games have certainly embraced feedback to create one of the most compelling wrestling games ever seen. Last year, I reviewed WWE 2K22 and described it as a series that was “back on track — and on the cusp of something special.” This year, 2K Games have returned with a new annual release in WWE 2K23, and the ante has most certainly been upped. Whereas the previous entry was a chance to right the wrongs of the disastrous WWE 2K20 and win back fans, WWE 2K23 needed to show that it was not willing to lie down for a 3 count and settle for a paycheck. Thankfully, this is not the case as WWE 2K23 is sports entertainment personified and will keep players gripped and engaged for hours. WWE 2K23: Key details Price: £49.99/$59.99 – Developer: 2K Games – Release Date: March 17, 2023 – Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC – WWE 2K23: Trailer GM Mode is WWE 2K23’s real superstar The heartbeat of WWE 2K23 is defined by its numerous game modes as that’s where its longevity lies. Spine-tingling body slams and the thunderous impact of lariats may hit like a 10-ton truck, but this feeling is worthless without substance – and the game has a ton of it. Without a doubt, the conquest I lost hours to the most was the improved and incredibly addictive GM Mode. After making its return in 2K22 – albeit slightly undercooked – 2K Games have fixed almost every criticism I had with it. You can book many more match types, there is now a multitude of championships for your roster to compete for, you can now battle with up to three other GMs, and PPV cards can sustain more matches to finish off all your intense rivalries. There are now multiple seasons to compete over, with your success being determined by new lifetime awards and achievements. Just like legends at the end of their career, you’ll find it difficult to walk away from a GM Mode session and you’ll be booking full cards in your sleep. Away from the world of wrestling strategy, MyRise returns with two fully-fledged storylines: The Lock and Legacy. Each offers a variety of side conquests and interesting story developments incentivizing you to complete them to improve your created diamond in the rough. You definitely should, too, as you’ll experience weird and wacky subplots from French Cage Matches to wrestling literal dream opponents. Universe Mode is back for those who want to sink hours into a long, randomly generated career with your favorite superstars, and John Cena is the face of this year’s Showcase. The overarching premise for this incarnation of Showcase delivers some fascinating matches and unexpected results, but I did have some problems with its presentation. John will give some real insight into the upcoming match beforehand, but then completely disappear mid-match leaving you with some long segments of real footage from the match with no narration and weird, dubbed audio. The structure of the journey is all over the place and chronologically makes no sense either. The match choices are iconic, but you’ll relive Cena vs Edge from Summerslam 2005, and bizarrely follow this up with their New Year’s Revolution encounter a few months prior. I am also concerned about the decision to make MyFaction online integrated as it now has an Ultimate Team feel to it, and FIFA and Madden fans will understand that these games began to suffer once the online phenomenon evolved. WWE 2K23 is King of the Ring WWE 2K23’s gameplay remains undefeated in the ring, as the hybrid of button mashing for combos and precise, but varied, move inputs for the 100+ superstars make the game so accessible to all audiences. The overall gameplay feels largely untouched with reversals and mini-games being simplified, and the goal of each match is to try and build up offense quickly so that you can land Signature and Finishing Moves. Weight divisions create fascinating dynamics as a Cruiserweight like Cedric Alexander will need to have his ring smarts fully engaged if he wants to topple the titanic Omos — because mark my words, he will do the height thing and wreck smaller opponents! I could maybe do with wrestler AI being more aware of their ring positioning when it comes to delivering high-impact moves and submissions as it can be a bit frustrating delivering a finisher, only to have to waste precious seconds dragging an opponent away from the ropes. The game’s collision detection system, while still pretty coherent, is still annoyingly prone to lapses and uncontrollable shaking of body parts trapped in a physics void. Limbs will become trapped in the ropes and environment and bend in ways that only a double-jointed person could dream of. If we want to take the WWE 2K franchise to the level, this problem really needs to be sent to Suplex City. When the gameplay lands though, strikes combos are devastating, the incremental accumulation of damage on your opponent to wear them down is as satisfying as ever, and the ebb and flow of the drama still truly captures the magic of a top-tier professional wrestling match. As usual, there is a star-studded line-up of match types to wage war in, speaking of which — it’s time for WarGames! The classic multi-person tag team, double-cage affair has finally arrived and the gameplay is frantic and fierce. The Grandest Stage of Them All Inside and outside of the ring, WWE 2K23 is a beautiful game, it really is. Facial models are scarily accurate in many cases, even for lower-card talent, and minuscule factors such as sweat particles help to highlight the length and physicality of a match. Spot-on camera angles and well-timed jump cuts mesh excellently with the engagement of the crowd to create a dramatic amphitheater in which the ring is the centerpiece. Shockingly, the heightened sense of drama is positively influenced by the game’s scrupulous commentary. It seems that for years commentary has always been an Achilles heel in sports games. WWE 2K23 finally seems to have nailed this troublesome trope with a combination of contextual consistency and useful contributions to a match. One tiny note is that the MyRise load times were daunting as I became scared to edit my character in fear of another agonizing wait. For some reason every other game mode is fine, but MyRise struggles — truth be told it’s one of the game’s few technical headscratchers. Verdict – 4/5 I feel in some ways I’m echoing my sentiments from one year ago. The gameplay is near-perfect and the presentation and delivery of a worldwide sensation are engrossing and captivating. Better still, one of the game’s most promising game modes is fully realizing its potential. There’s just the odd gripe that lingers just enough to bog down its joyous moments. If 2K can avoid MyFaction from hogging the spotlight and eliminate those tiny faults, all the while concentrating on MyGM, Showcase, and MyRise, then a perfect rating could beckon next year.

WWE 2K23 removes Women’s superstar from roster prior to release 2K SportsWWE 2K23 is only weeks away, but it seems that the roster is already in for a shuffle. A Women’s Division superstar that appeared on the first roster list has been removed only a day after first showing up. WWE’s characters are famously what makes the product so special and the same thing can be said for the video game version too. Whether it’s opening those special, special cans as Stone Cold Steve Austin, or sending an opponent to their final resting place as The Undertaker, there’s a reason that each new release updates the selection of characters every year. Removal from the roster is an unusual happening for the 2K franchise, but the February 14 version of the list indicates that a familiar name has either been taken out of the final release or was never intended to be a playable character in the first place. WWE 2K23 Women’s Division wrestler may have been removed from full roster Scarlett hasn’t seen much action since returning to the WWE back in August 2022, but she has prominently played the role of manager to her real-life husband Karrion Kross. Still, she was listed as a playable character in 2K23 according to the first Full Roster list on the game’s website. The pair teamed up to attack Drew McIntyre in her return, but since then she’s mostly been sitting on the sidelines. The highlight of her in-ring activity was a January match alongside her hubby where they faced off against Madcap Moss & Emma. Notably, Scarlett did appear in WWE 2K22, but only in her managerial role. There’s no way to know yet if this was an error in the list or if she was meant to be playable, but it seems like fans will have to make do without her when the game is released on March 14.

WWE 2K23 leak reveals John Cena cover art and release date WWEA leak via the Microsoft Store suggests WWE 2K23 will launch in March, with John Cena attached as the title’s cover star. Last year’s WWE 2K22 release proved an important one for 2K Games’ long-running wrestling franchise. The title launched nearly two years after the critically panned WWE 2K20, itself a significant entry given longtime developer Yuke’s departure after 2K19. 2K Games’ next wrestling game could be a major release, too. After all, AEW: Fight Forever is also slated to hit stores in 2023 and may very well provide steep competition. While 2K remains mum about its forthcoming WWE-branded sports game, leaked information has shed light on what fans should expect. WWE 2K23 leak points to John Cena as the cover star On Friday, January 20, reliable leaker Aggiornamenti Lumia shared datamined information about WWE 2K23 in a since-removed Twitter post. The details in question, mined from the Microsoft Store’s backend, revealed the game’s cross-gen edition will launch across Xbox on March 17, 2023. Presumably, this marks the date on which all versions will release. In addition, the leak depicted John Cena as the WWE 2K23 cover star. It seems the vast majority of social media posts have been hit with copyright strikes for showcasing the image. Still, it depicted the superstar in a green tee and hat against a blue and red background, while performing his iconic “You Can’t See Me” pose. Whether or not John Cena will appear on the cover art of just the cross-gen edition is not yet clear. As always, the above should be taken with a grain of salt for the time being. When 2K Games will formally announce its plans for the new WWE title presently remains unknown. However, many fans have high hopes that the airing of Royal Rumble on January 28 will include a WWE 2K23 reveal.

WWE 2K23 players are loving first look at Alexa Bliss in-game Alexa BlissThe first look at Alexa Bliss in WWE 2K23 has been revealed and fans can’t wait to play with the former women’s champion. 2K is out to continue their WWE franchise with the next installment coming on March 17, 2023. As the dates get closer, the roster for the game has slowly been revealed as characters new and old join in. The WWE Universe will be able to once again play with many of the most iconic wrestlers in history, from John Cena to Triple H. Now, the character model for one of the best in the women’s division has been unveiled, as Alexa Bliss has been shown off in a screenshot posted online. Players love the Alexa Bliss model in WWE 2K23 With well over one hundred people on the roster, players will have an exceptional amount of options to choose from. Fans are already applauding the detail of the Bliss’ character model in a post on Reddit. Players discussed in the comments how the details look, with one that said: “The game model looks great! Love the detail on the jacket, might use that for a Paige CAW.” Another fan agreed and said, “She looks great and Lilly is making her debut in the game too.” Alexa first debuted in WWE during 2013 with her first in-game appearance starting in 2017. It’s fair to say that the graphics on next-gen consoles are a world away from her first appearance in the series. As this year’s title focuses on John Cena during the Ruthless Aggression Era, players can expect different outfits from that time for Alexa and other characters.

WWE 2K23 fans spot new ring announcer and referee in Showcase trailer WWE/2K SportsSharp WWE 2K23 fans have spotted Greg Hamilton’s replacement as ring announcer as well as a brand new referee in the upcoming game. WWE 2K23 made a splash with its brand-new Showcase trailer. The mode will put players in the shoes of John Cena’s opponents in all of his most legendary matches. Major WWE stars like The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Dave Bautista all take center stage as fans relive the biggest moments of Cena’s storied career. What fans found most interesting though was not the wrestlers themselves, but the people elsewhere in the arena as a new generic referee and a familiar face at ringside are bringing a new look to the familiar formula WWE 2K23 fans spot new ring announcer and referee in trailer For the first time (outside of Special Guest scenarios), WWE 2K23 will feature a woman serving in the role of referee. While the game doesn’t incorporate the likeness of actual officiants like Smackdown’s Jessika Carr, the implementation of women in the role does match up to the current product that’s on TV. Some fans were worried that this will disrupt the continuity of the Showcase mode given that this new ref will be featured in matches that were actually overseen by men, but given that the referees have never been accurate in the 2K series, not much has changed on that front. “We don’t get real refs in 2K games, we shouldn’t expect them to match the highlights, they never do,” one player stated. Elsewhere, fans noticed that longtime voice Greg Hamilton wasn’t shown in this trailer, with his friend and current announcer RAW announcer Mike Rome taking the reins. Hamilton was released from the company back in 2021 and Rome has served as his replacement for most of that time. Samantha Irvin, the voice of the company’s blue brand, notably didn’t make an appearance in this trailer.

Here’s everything we know about the patch. It has become a widely accepted consensus that WWE 2K22 is one of the best wrestling simulators to come from the franchise in a long time. Getting the franchise back on track, WWE 2K22 was a return to form as the gameplay, mechanic, graphics, and the return of beloved modes like MyGM. But with all its glory, the game was riddled with game-breaking bugs. 2K has released patch 1.12 in hopes of remedying these bugs and even making some long-awaited additions.

They were included in the game mode but weren’t playable, but the patch remedies that issue. The patch also grants fixes to the game’s mechanics, such as the collision and the targeting systems, with new additions to the number of available Signatures and Finishers.

WWE 2K22 to copy NBA 2K22 VC microtransactions according to leak 2K GamesWWE 2K22 microtransactions may be coming our way according to what appear to be leaked images from the game’s storefront. According to YouTuber VikingSizeGamer, WWE 2K22 may introduce NBA 2K-inspired microtransactions to the game. Since offering its VC (virtual currency) microtransactions, the NBA 2K series has been plagued by controversy, and, if the rumor is true, the same microtransaction format could be coming to WWE 2K22. WWE 2K22 will release in March 2022 just before WWE’s annual WrestleMania event. The series skipped a year in 2021 after the lackluster performance of WWE 2K20. The game is rumored to be bringing back GM Mode for the first time since 2008, and a full reveal is expected in January during the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. The game will also compete for the first time with the upcoming AEW game, developed by longtime WWE collaborators Yukes. WWE 2K22 microtransactions spotted in storefront art VikingSizeGamer tweeted, “A WWE 2K CDN hosted by 2KSports is publicly accessible and shows illustrations and 3D renders for VC in a folder labeled 2K22/Store. Purchases in #WWE2K22 look like they’re heading the NBA route with VC available in bulk up to 450,000, roughly worth $100. More in a video soon.” The tweet also shows art reportedly from WWE 2K22’s digital store depicting chests of golden coins that represent the in-game currency that players can purchase in exchange for real money. If genuine, then this will be the first WWE 2K game to feature VC bought with real money, with WWE 2K19 having the currency earned through gameplay.

In a 2019 interview with Trusted Reviews, discussing introducing microtransactions to 2K’s NBA series, Senior Producer Rob Jones described virtual currency as “an unfortunate reality of modern gaming.” He then went on to defend adding microtransactions to 2K’s games explaining that they exist to help players save time. He said, “We know nowadays that most people don’t have the patience to work their way to the top. They just want to be there right away. So, you know, we look at it as, oh it’s an opportunity for us to allow you to skip the grind, but then if the grind is too long, like some people felt last year, they’re going to sit there and they’re going to go ‘well, you knew the grind was too long, to begin with.” Read More: Logan Paul finally wins over WWE fans – While these comments were directed towards 2K’s NBA series, if the company’s position is the same in 2022, then VikingSizeGamer’s leak is likely to be accurate. WWE and 2K are yet to confirm or deny rumors of microtransactions, but Dexerto has reached out for comment.

WWE 2K22 Review – A big comeback but far from a smackdown Visual ConceptsThe turbulent and tumultuous times of 2K20 look to be a distant memory as our time with WWE 2K22 has proved to be a fairly successful one. In spite of some issues, the WWE once again has a wrestling game it can be proud of. It’s hard to forget just how catastrophic the release of WWE 2K20 was. Glitches, bugs, awful character models, and shocking graphics only began to scratch the surface of its problems. However, the slate has been wiped clean, and WWE 2K22 has proven to be more of a blessing than a curse. An improved combat system, returning game modes, and a stellar-looking product are all good signs that the series is back on track. WWE 2K22 – Key details Price: $59.99 / £49.99 – Developer: Visual Concepts – Release date: March 8, 2022 – Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & PC – WWE 2K22 trailer A multitude of modes You should never get bored with WWE 2K22 as there’s tons of stuff to do, although it’s not always fleshed out, fantastical content like you’d hope for. This year’s Showcase mode centers around the world’s most famous luchador — Rey Mysterio. Anyone who knows Rey’s career will find a lot to appreciate here and enjoy seeing him in his usual, dazzling array of flashy costumes he used in each match. But, it also feels quite lacking, as lots of Rey’s solid early-career work is missing and some of his later entries feel a bit unnecessary — no offense Gran Metalik. Still, it’s great getting to hear plenty of words from the great man himself as he dissects his own matches and offers some insight into the inner workings of these encounters. One of the most talked-about changes to WWE 2K22 is the long-awaited return of GM Mode after an astonishing 13-year absence. Rebranded as MyGM, we will say that there’s a lot of hands-on control and enjoyment to be had. Like in past iterations, players need to become a General Manager of one of the brands, use a staggering budget wisely to fill out their roster, book high-quality TV shows, and PPVs, and ultimately prevail as the dominant product in the company. It feels like the completely immersive pro wrestling sim it’s advertised as. But, some questionable missteps make the mode feel undercooked and make us question its potential longevity. You’re limited to booking one-on-one and tag matches, and you can count on one hand the number of stipulation matches that are available. Worse still, the only title belts available are the world titles for men and women, no secondary ones. These are just some of the poorly executed elements that hurt its overall depth and make the thought of a second MyGM mode season a chore. That isn’t to say you won’t have fun, as having control over every show’s production and bringing back icons is a thrill, but we do have to question the existence of the reoccurring Universe mode now. Given that it shares similar elements in terms of creativity and the ability to play out matches and build rivalries, like MyGM, perhaps it’s time to amalgamate the two moving forward? Also, time will tell how successful the other new mode is this year in MyFACTION. 2K’s answer to Ultimate Team, players must open packs, play matches to earn more currency, and create their own DX, nWo, or whatever your poison. The sight of microtransactions is unwelcome, but thankfully the mode is single-player only, and there is something oddly warm and bubbly about spending hours building up a strong faction that could rival any elite group in pro wrestling today. Throw in a deep and well-executed MyRISE career mode this year, online multiplayer, exhibition matches, and there’s many an hour to be spent in the world of pro wrestling laying the smackdown. Refined fighting Thanks to a complete overhaul and reinvention of its core principles, WWE 2K22’s gameplay is up there in terms of the best it’s ever been, and certainly ‘hits different.’ Every wrestler genuinely feels like a true reflection of their real self. Every idiosyncrasy from a character’s height, weight, strength, and type of wrestler they are will be translated in battle. Grapples and Combo attacks all feel nicely integrated and, for the most part, don’t feel like contrived animations lumped together in a phony-looking manner. It’s still not all perfect though. The new Reversal system is basically a game of rock, paper, scissors unless you’re willing to sacrifice a chunk of your ability meter. Between Light, Heavy, and Grab attacks, players need to basically guess which attack is coming and press the matching button to regain control of the match. Still, it’s not the worst system in the world, and we commend developers Visual Concepts for going back to the drawing board and inserting a dynamic ebb and flow you’d get in a real match. I honestly never once got bored with the gameplay and reveled in just how many ways there are to dish out a “slobber knocker” or two. It’s easily the most complete way to enjoy a WWE game and incorporating the environment around you only heightens the limitless potential. The good, the bad, and the ugly Let me just say this, pre-match and post-match production is on another level. The seamless flow of an entrance interspersed with classic Kevin Dunn camera cuts made me happy to sit back, open up a Steveweiser, and drink it in, man. The way the light bounces off of the sweat-ridden physiques of Vince McMahon’s meaty superstars, the constant, participatory cheers and boos of the WWE Universe, and the usual hit-and-miss commentary has welcomed back the feeling of presenting a satisfying live broadcast. It’s a shame then that some of the nuisances of yesteryear pop their unwelcome heads up from time to time. Referees still do the same, robotic, slow count, the commentary still isn’t contextual as I used Brock Lesnar during one match and commentary clearly said I had Paul Heyman at my side when I didn’t. I also experienced several unfortunate run-ins with clipping in the ropes and getting stuck, a couple of times my character completely stopped responding to my controller inputs, and I found WWE 2K22’s load times to be the longest of any PS5 title I’ve played to date. Greatly improved character models managed to offset a lot of this negativity though as it was genuinely terrifying how lifelike some of the game’s biggest stars now look. Does everyone look like a carbon copy of themself? Nope, but WWE 2K22 is so far removed from the horrors of 2K20 it’s untrue, the signs from 2K22 are highly promising. 7.5/10 This score feels harsh as the gameplay is spectacular, but there are simply one too many niggles to consider this a true WWE legend. For everything included in the game, there’s always something else that could have been improved to be more cohesive. I am absolutely not complaining about the level of content here, though. MyGM’s half-baked design is still fun the first time around, and MyRISE is definitely one of the better career modes in years, so you get enough bang for your buck.

WWE 2K22 roster list: All wrestlers from RAW, SmackDown & NXT 2K GamesWWE 2K22 has been moving along nicely since its release, but which WWE superstars, past and present, make up the roster? Here are all the WWE 2K22 roster members across all three WWE brands. The WWE always seems to be undergoing various changes as more than 80 people have been cut from its ranks since the beginning of 2021. This is on top of even more roster cuts that came as a shock in 2020. Of course, this has a knock-on effect when it comes to the WWE 2K22 roster list, as it means we never truly know who will be in the game. Other wrestlers left the company of their own volition, signing with WWE’s biggest competitor, AEW. Some retired, or semi-retired legends also accepted roles within AEW, meaning WWE would likely need to cut these wrestlers from its WWE 2K22 roster as well. With all this in mind, let’s take a look at the WWE 2K22 roster list as it stands presently. Contents WWE 2K22 roster list so far Here’s every WWE superstar, across RAW, SmackDown, and NXT set to appear in WWE 2K22: A-O A-Kid – AJ Styles – Akira Tozawa – Alexa Bliss – Alexander Wolfe – Andre the Giant – Angel Garza – Angelo Dawkins – Apollo Crews – Ariya Daivari – Asuka – Austin Theory – Batista – Bayley – Becky Lynch – Beth Phoenix – Bianca Belair – Big Boss Man – Big E – Billie Kay – Bobby Lashley – Boogeyman – Booker T – Braun Strowman – Bret “The Hitman” Hart – Brock Lesnar – Cactus Jack – Cameron Grimes – Candice LeRae – Carmella – Cedric Alexander – Cesaro – Chad Gable – Charlotte Flair – Chyna – Dakota Kai – Damien Priest – Dana Brooke – Danny Burch – Demon Finn Balor – Dexter Lumis – Diesel – Dolph Ziggler – Dominik Mysterio – Drew Gulak – Drew McIntyre – Eddie Guerrero – Edge – Elias – Ember Moon – Eric Bischoff – Erik – Faarooq – Fabian Aichner – Fandango – Finn Balor – Goldberg – Gran Metalik – Happy Corbin – Hulk Hogan – Hulkster – Hulk Hogan – NWO – Humberto Carillo – Ilja Dragunov – Indi Hartwell – Io Shirai – Isaiah “Swerve” Scott – Ivar – Jake “The Snake” Roberts – JBL – Jeff Hardy – Jerry “The King” Lawler – Jey Uso – Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart – Jimmy Uso – Jinder Mahal – Joaquin Wilde – John Cena – John Morrison – Johnny Gargano – Jordan Devlin – Kacy Catanzaro – Kalisto – Kane Masked – Kane Unmasked – Karrion Kross – Kay Lee Ray – Keith Lee – Kevin Nash – Kevin Nash (nWo) – Kevin Owens – Kofi Kingston – Kushida – Kyle O’Reilly – Lacey Evans – Lana – Lince Dorado – Liv Morgan – MACE – Machine Gun Kelly (DLC) – “Macho Man” Randy Savage – Madcap Moss – Mandy Rose – Mansoor – Marcel Barthel – Maryse – Mia Yim – Mickie James – “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase – Montez Ford – McMahon – Murphy – Mustafa Ali – MVP – Naomi – Natalya – Nia Jax – Nikki A.S.H – Omos – Oney Lorcan – Otis – P-Z Papa Shango – Pete Dunne – Peyton Royce – R-Truth – Randy Orton – Raquel Gonzalez – Raul Mendoza – Razor Ramon – RECKONING – Rey Mysterio – Rey Mysterio ’06 – Rey Mysterio ’08 – Rey Mysterio ’09 – Rey Mysterio ’11 – Rey Mysterio ’96 (Starrcade) – Rhea Ripley – Ric Flair – Ricochet – Riddle – Rikishi – Road Dogg “Jesse James” – Robert Roode – Roderick Strong – Roman Reigns – Rowdy Roddy Piper – Sami Zayn – Samoa Joe – Santos Escobar – Sasha Banks – Scott Hall – Scott Hall (nWo) – Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins – Shane McMahon – Shawn Michaels – Shayna Baszler – Sheamus – Shelton Benjamin – Shinsuke Nakamura – Shotzi – SLAPJACK – Stone Cold Steve Austin – Sonya Deville – Stephanie McMahon – Stunning Steve Austin – Syxx (nWo) – T-BAR – Tamina – Tegan Nox – The Brian Kendrick – The Miz – The Rock (Brahma Bull) – The Rock Silk Shirt – Timothy Thatcher – Titus O’Neill – Tommaso Ciampa – Toni Storm – Trent Seven – Triple H – Hunter Hearst Helmsley – Triple H – Outlaw – Triple H – The Game – Trish Stratus – Tucker – Tyler Bate – Tyler Breeze – Ultimate Warrior – Umaga – Undertaker – ABA – Undertaker – Last Outlaw – Undertaker – Phenom – Undertaker – Western Mortician – Vader – WALTER – William Regal – X-Pac – Xavier Woods – Yokozuna – Remember, WWE’s roster is in a constant state of flux with superstars crossing to and from RAW, SmackDown, and the developmental NXT brand very frequently. Even with the game out, events and circumstances can alter the status of superstars, so things will be subject to change. WWE 2K22 roster notes While major WWE superstars like Adam Cole, Aleister Black, Christian, John Morrison, Ric Flair, and Ruby Riot were all likely inclusions in this year’s release, contract terminations across the board saw all of them leave the company throughout 2021. Some were released while others left once their contract expired, choosing not to re-sign with WWE. This all adds up when other legends like Bryan Danielson, Big Show, Sting, and Chris Jericho are all factored in as well. Another notable name is former WWE superstar Bray Wyatt, also known as The Fiend. Although Wyatt has featured in a number of previous releases, he joined the growing list of cut talent in July of 2021. Therefore, neither Wyatt’s original appearance nor The Fiend character are included in WWE 2K22.

WWE 2K22 reportedly bringing back GM mode for first time in years 2K GamesWWE 2K games have been a mixed bag. The series desperately needs a pinfall victory to restore fan confidence before they tap out for good. After a stellar WWE 2K19, the next entry in the series WWE 2K20 was developed by Visual Concepts rather than the usual developer Yuke’s. With this change of developer, a highly requested feature is said to be coming back – General Manager mode. Is WWE 2K22 bring back General Manager mode? Although according to industry insider Millie A (@milliemand) WWE 2K22 will bring this classic feature back next year. Taking to Twitter, Millie said, “WWE 2K22 will 100% have a Manager mode in which you the player will run the WWE” She went on to say, “This has been asked for, for years and recently topped various fan request polls. At this point in time, the plans are to unveil the mode around either Survivor Series (Nov) or Rumble (Jan).” WWE 2K22 will 100% have a Manager mode in which you the player will run the WWE. This has been asked for, for years and recently topped various fan request polls. At this point in time, the plans are to unveil the mode around either Survivor Series (Nov) or Rumble (Jan) — Millie A (@millieamand) October 13, 2021 WWE generally has a monthly pay-per-view event, but Survivor Series and The Royal Rumble are considered part of ‘The Big Four’ PPVs, along with WrestleMania and SummerSlam. So revealing GM mode during one of these makes sense. It also tracks with how WWE and 2K Sports have operated in the past. Millie A has been right before when leaking insider knowledge ahead of time. As an analyst working in the industry and since leaking information about Hogwarts last year, her reputation for accuracy has grown online. The revival of WWE 2k? 2K20 was panned on release with fans and pundits pointing out various bugs and a clear dip in quality since the last entry. As a result of this, and other notable world events, 2020 came and went without a WWE 2K game. But the series is set to make a comeback with WWE 2K22 on March 8 next year. Expectations are mixed, as Visual Concepts are once again developing the series. However, the studio has had much more time to iron out bugs and glitches as well as bring back some classic features. One which fans have requested for a while is GM mode, which has not been seen since Smackdown vs Raw 2008. Read More: Logan Paul finally wins over WWE fans – GM mode puts the player in the position of WWE’s General Manager whose job it is to make matches, keep feuding wrestlers in check, and make sure live events are attracting fans. It’s great fun when done right, and something the series has missed for years. Of course, nothing is set in stone until it’s officially announced by WWE or 2K Sports. But it gives ‘rasslin fans a reason to be cheerful. As does the revelation that the beloved late Owen Hart will appear in the upcoming AEW game.

WWE 2K22 players want popular Universe feature to return in 2K23 2KWWE 2K22 players want to see a specific feature from previous games be brought back for the next instalment of the Universe game mode: promos. WWE 2K22 included many classic game modes but also introduced new content from players to sink their teeth into. One of the returning game modes to feature in the game was Universe mode. In Universe mode, players take control of either Raw, Smackdown or NXT as the General Manager. Gamers can either choose from a real life GM or choose to manage their chosen brand as a custom Superstar. The aim of the feature is to build up your brand of Superstar’s to out perform your rival, setting up match cards each week and running PPV events. And while part of the game involves schedules wrestlers to cut promos, 2K22 didn’t actually give players the chance to run the promos or even include a cutscene of the wrestler talking on the mic. This omission is something that fans want to see come back in 2K23, discussing on Reddit how “universe mode is boring without them.” Others noted how the mode feels “empty” without them and that it then just comes a cycle of “match, match, match.” Being able to control promos or simply watch them play out in a cutscene is a feature that has been included in many old WWE games. However, some have defended the decision to remove promos from 2K22’s Universe mode, pointing out that the dialogue was never up to par and that they would end up “skipping them anyways.” WWE 2K22 release on March 8, 2022 was a return to form for the franchise and restored faith in developers 2K after 2K20 failed to perform. In Dexerto’s full review of 2K22, we wrote how “in spite of some issues, the WWE once again has a wrestling game it can be proud of.”

WWE 2K22 patch 1.15 roasted over broken and missing features Take TwoTo the chagrin of many WWE 2K22 players, patch 1.15 failed to address some pretty drastic issues; meanwhile, a few missing features have yet to resurface. WWE 2K20 launched in a disastrous state in late 2019, so much so that 2K Games permanently shelved WWE 2K21. The hit wrestling series returned earlier this year, marking a massive step up from its dismally received predecessor. However, fans have noticed a few snags in desperate need of fixing. For example, players realized not long after launch that a bug prevented them from saving Tag Team Finishers in Universe Mode. Multi-Man Matches have proven a point of contention, as well. WWE 2K22 patch 1.15 ignores several known issues The June 27 patch for WWE 2K22 is now live across all platforms, adding stability and balancing improvements to the game. It also tackles concerns related to the ranges of certain moves, animation hiccups, and the ladder falling during ladder matches. But some players have expressed disappointment in a number of troubles that remain untouched. Reddit user omccoyjr3 listed a few of them in a thread, noting that Tag Team Finishers in Universe Mode are still broken. Multi-Man Matches continue to lack Comeback, too. And the Rivalry Compatible option in Universe Mode, which 2K Games removed in a recent update, has yet to return. At the time of writing, neither developer Visual Concepts nor 2K Games have addressed if and when the above issues will be addressed. WWE 2K won’t remain the only licensed wrestling game on the console market for long. AEW has partnered with former WWE 2K studio Yuke’s to produce AEW Fight Forever, a pro wrestling title currently in development for PC and consoles.

WWE 2K22 MyGM: How to win, best roster & top tips 2K14 years later and the fan-favorite GM Mode has made its triumphant return as MyGM. WWE 2K22 marks the return of the popular wrestling franchise and comes with it a long-lost mode that we have a few tips for to help you succeed. It’s still up in the air as to why it’s taken so long for the wrestling management mode to appear in a WWE game again, but we’re not complaining now as it’s in WWE 2K22 and performs and plays quite nicely. From your decisions at the start of the game, all the way until Wrestlemania itself, every choice you make is important. Every selection has a consequence, and every reaction has an equal and opposite that will determine how savvy your decision-making skills are. Contents What is MyGM mode? MyGM gives WWE fans the opportunity to book their own show, push the stars they want to push, and compete against an opposing GM to see who comes out on top. Starting with a budget of $2,750,000, players will need to acquire a mix of top male and female stars, factor in their particular fighting styles, and also maintain a balance of good guys and bad guys AKA faces and heels. You then need to compete over a custom length of time in a bid to earn the highest viewership. How to win MyGM mode: Best tips There’s no nailed-on, guaranteed way to be victorious in MyGM, but there are definitely tactics and strategies you can employ to increase your chances of success. After all, as authentic as the game mode tries to be in WWE 2K22, levels of success, ratings, and fan total changes will boil down to an algorithm. Use our best tips to take advantage of the algorithm and come out on top. 1. Creating the perfect roster As we alluded to earlier, balance will play an important part in your project. Splashing out your entire budget on six top babyfaces and two heels will not lead to good results. Having four top-tier talent and four midcarders, but three-quarters of your roster being men will not cut it. Be reasonable and ensure your show’s equilibrium is maintained at all times for more consistent reactions and long-term gains. 2. Take realism and sentiment out of it An average month’s worth of RAW shows in real life might have one, maybe two No DQ matches, whereas in WWE 2K22 you’ll find that you’ll need at least one or two special matches per episode! Even though they’re expensive, booking TLC and Extreme Rules matches on a regular basis, mixed with decent rivalries, is a certain way to get higher-rated matches and more fans. 3. Stay on top of Power Cards Although they might seem like a bit of a novelty, Power Cards can be instrumental in saving your big matches. Two weeks out from Summerslam and WWE Champion Roman Reigns is injured? Then slap on a Injury Rehab Power Card and watch as his injury goes away and he’s clear to finish off his main event, Level 4 rivalry-ender. 4. Your match order is crucial A well-known wrestling proverb is if you’re not in the main event, then you want to be in the opener. Kicking off the show and ending it can really set the tone for the overall show, whereas quality mid-card matches can potentially overshadow these spots. Save your rivalry-builders for the curtain-raiser or closer. 5. Don’t always listen to the commissioner Sometimes HHH will want you to book a certain star on the show, or a particular talent to earn a free Power Card. However, booking some of these conditions could actually end up hurting some of your feuds, and potentially derail them if a fatigued star gets injured and takes a rest on the shelf for three weeks. 6. Do observe Show Logistics optional goals As part of the management process in MyGM mode, you’ll need to book the arena, the level of lighting, and several other important setup factors on every show. Naturally, the bigger they are, the higher the price to pay. But each one comes with an optional objective that if you can fulfil will reward you with bonuses such as a higher match rating percentage. Make sure you get them done ASAP to utilize the bonus immediately. 7. Use Journal to keep on top of promises WWE 2K22 provides lots of exciting content and modes for you to try out, this does mean that you could feasibly be a few weeks deep in your MyGM save file, ditch it for a few days in favor of MyRise, return to it, and you’ve forgotten all about that promised title shot for Seth Rollins. Use the Journal to ensure you keep up with all your communications and keep morale high. 8. Free agents could be the way to free money and fans The initial draft is where you’ll score the majority of your roster, but as the weeks progress and you realize you need fresh match-ups, the free agents pool could hold your salvation. In desperate need of devious, brawler heel? Then see who you can bring in on a 10-week contract. Legends are bound to be good for popularity, but the right booking of your normal stars could render them superfluous.

WWE 2K22: How to get weapons from under the ring 2KPart of the craziness of a WWE match can be the added danger of weapons. A WWE 2K22 ring can house all sorts of brutal implements for you to bludgeon your opponent with and there’s a neat little way to do so. Traditionally, a collar and elbow tie-up and some catch-as-catch-can-style wrestling will be the foundation for a professional wrestling match clinic. As things progress though, if the ‘bad guy’ isn’t getting their own way, then they might want to resort to some devious and illegal ways to gain an edge (no pun intended). WWE 2K22 is no different from previous entries in the series as there are a few toys located beneath the canvas. It’s not always made explicitly clear how to do acquire them, so here’s a quick guide. Contents How to get weapons in WWE 2K22 Grabbing a weapon from under the ring can be done so by pressing L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox, or the assigned key on PC. Whether you’re in an Extreme Rules match or you’re plotting to lay in a few nasty chair shots in the main event match with the referee distracted, it’s important to know fully how to acquire weapons. Check out the following steps to get this nailed down in the game: Begin a match in WWE 2K22 – Move you character so that they’re standing next to the ropes – Use the R1 button on PlayStation, RB on Xbox, or the assigned key on PC to exit the ring – Now, place your superstar in the middle of the apron on any of the ring’s four sides – Press L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox, or the assigned key on PC – Your chosen star will lift up the apron, and a weapon wheel will appear – You can now select your weapon of choosing – Depending on the match type or scenario, there will be several different weapons for you to wield and cause some chaos! Which weapons can you select? The weapon wheel will be different depending on the rules of the match and you can also customize exhibition matches to make it so that you can pick your favorite weapons to use during a match. This is every weapon that can be found under the ring: Baseball Bat – Steel Chair – Kendo Stick – Ladder – Sledgehammer – Stop Sign – Table – Hockey Stick – Shovel – So there are plenty of tools at your disposal if you so wish, and opportunities to put on a destructive encounter on-route to a 5-star match.

WWE 2K22: How to light a table on fire 2KThe world of professional wrestling is a fascinating beast, and players have the opportunity to heat things up in WWE 2K22 by lighting tables on fire. The PG-era days of the WWE have effectively nullified the chances of seeing a flaming table on WWE television or PPV. But we have seen it in the past, and WWE 2K22 allows players to relive history in the game by offering combatants the chance to set a table ablaze. Rival wrestling company AEW recently performed this dangerous spot in real-life, and now you can do it too in WWE 2K22. It’s not outlined clearly in the early tutorials how to do this, so we’ve put together this useful guide. How to set a table on fire in WWE 2K22 To allow you to be able to commit this extreme act, you’re going to need a stored Finisher first. This is one of several steps you need to ensure are followed if you’re looking to indulge in some firey fisticuffs. To make this as transparent as possible, here are the steps required to set a table on fire in WWE 2K22. Select an applicable game mode where a table will be a weapon wheel option e.g Table Match or Extreme Rules Match – Begin the match and score tons of offense until you get a ‘Finisher’ – Now, make sure you’re outside the ring and stand in the middle of the apron on any side of the ring – Then press L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox, or the assigned key on PC – Your chosen star will lift up the apron, and a weapon wheel will appear – Hover over the table icon and select it – You’ll then pull out a table, and you need to set it up – Once you’ve done that, stand next to the table and you’ll get a prompt to ‘Ignite it’ – Do so, and watch as your character pulls out lighter fluid, squirts it on the table, and sets the table on fire – The rest should be simple enough but be warned, if your opponent gets the upper hand, then they could literally turn the firey tables on you! If you can successfully put someone through the inferno, then you’re guaranteed to do some serious damage and increase your match’s star rating to appease Dave Meltzer.

MyFaction is a game mode in WWE 2K22 that is 2K’s take on the popular sports video game mode Ultimate Team. Players collect cards featuring their favorite men’s and women’s wrestlers from different eras and battle against other players online. People praised 2K’s creative utilization of Paul’s MyFaction card. One commenter said, “I was wondering what they would replace the Pokemon card with, and they came up with something clever.” Other users were very impressed with how good Paul’s attire looked in-game. Paul has made a very strong first impression in the WWE, and his career is just starting.

Wuthering Waves players don’t want this “annoying” Genshin Impact feature HoYoverseWuthering Waves players are hoping the devs won’t include an “annoying” Genshin Impact feature that many believe ruins their in-game experience. Wuthering Waves is the latest anime gacha game that has caught the attention of the Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact community. While it shares similar ability-focused combat and open world exploration as the latter, Wuthering Waves aims to forge a new path in the crowded gacha market. While the Wuthering Waves livestream has fans excited to delve into the game’s post-apocalyptic world, many players hope that one divisive Genshin Impact feature is absent. “Please no more Paimons,” wrote one commenter on the Wuthering Waves Reddit page. “I understand the intrinsic difficulty in trying to relate the story to the player in a way that keeps the main character open to self insert fan fiction, but having someone else do all the talking is a horrible middle ground.” Instead, players are hopeful that Wuthering Waves will follow a similar theme to Honkai Star Rail, where Pom-Pom takes a back seat and doesn’t constantly talk for the player. Genshin Impact players historically have a love-hate relationship with Paimon, especially when the pint-sized character often feels like the main protagonist. “[Wuthering Waves] will be instantly removed from my PC if they torture us with another Paimon,” wrote one prospective player. Meanwhile, others were more hopeful and believe the devs will put less emphasis on the player’s companion. “They didn’t introduce it in the live stream, so it’s not going to be an overbearing companion that takes 80% of the story’s screen time,” explained one fan. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see what Kuro Games has planned, but if you’re looking for the best possible start in the gacha game, then be sure to check out all the free Wuthering Waves characters you can add to your team.

Wrestling fans vent over Logan Paul’s rating in WWE 2K24 Youtube/WWE/2KWrestling fans were not happy after seeing Logan Paul’s rating in WWE 2K24, complaining that it was way too high. Logan Paul made waves in the boxing scene before moving on and signing a WWE contract in June 2022. Since then Logan has been showing off his trademark athleticism in the ring and even managed to capture the United States Championship. 2K has been publishing fantastic games based on WWE for years, and the current iteration is WWE 2K23, but 2K24 has started to be teased with reveal trailers and hints at ratings. WWE and Upupdwndwn revealed Logan’s rating, and hardcore WWE fans were not happy. WWE 2K24 fans can’t believe Logan Paul rating One WWE fan shared the Logan Paul rating on social media, and fans of the game were absolutely baffled by the 90 Overall rating. “I like the guy,” one person begrudgingly admitted, “but as a wrestler 90 is absurd. 85 would have been the right spot, honestly,” they said. Others agreed, feeling the just rating for the Paul brother would have been “85-89”. But for some, this was to be expected, as they felt ratings had climbed since the older WWE games to the point where many of them were undeserved. “I remember when 90 was reserved for guys like Undertaker,” one fan said. “They be handing 90’s out like candy since 22,” said another. Paul’s rating wasn’t the only source of controversy, with some fans shocked by Bayley’s in-game design. The WWE star herself even tweeted out “Help me”. Despite these controversies, players are still highly anticipating the release of the game.

How to unlock Wraith’s Prestige skin in Apex Legends Wintertide event Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 15 will see the introduction of a new Wraith Prestige skin, confirming previous leaks, and it will be available in the Wintertide update. Here’s how you can unlock Apex Voidshifter during the event. Prestige skins are a fairly new addition to Apex Legends. Both Bangalore and Bloodhound already have their Prestige skins – complete with unique finisher animations and an appearance that gets upgraded as the player does damage with that Legend. These three-in-one skins are something for players to look forward to other than Heirlooms, and can usually be acquired as the crown jewel of a Collection event or via rolling Heirloom Shards out of a loot box. According to datamining off the initial Apex Legends Season 15 patch, Wraith was set to get the next Prestige skin – and it has since been confirmed by developers. Let’s take a look at how to unlock it, as well as what it looks like. How to unlock Wraith Prestige skin in Apex Legends The Wraith Prestige skin is called Apex Voidshifter and is available during the Wintertide event, which starts on December 6, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT. To unlock it, players will need to follow these steps – as seen in our Prestige skin guide: Unlock tier 1 by completing the Collection event, or purchasing the skin from the Mythics store – Unlock tier 2 by completing a gameplay challenge with the Legende.g. 30,000 damage – – Unlock tier 3 by completing a gameplay challenge with the Legende.g. 70,000 damage – – You will also unlock the Prestige finisher with tier 3 – Wraith gets an Apex Legends Season 15 Mythic skin The new look was unveiled on November 30, along with several other winter cosmetics. Like those before her, Wraith gradually gains more armor and has her appearance drastically changed through the transition from tier 1 to tier 3. Keep in mind that previous tiers can still be used after progressing past that tier. So, if someone were to unlock tier 2 of Wraith’s Prestige skin, but they prefer the first iteration, they can choose to hold onto her initial appearance. On top of these previews, leaks also revealed her exclusive tier 3 finisher. Wraith appears to have a type of energy whip and brutalizes the enemy with electric shocks before slamming them into the ground. This finisher is about as over-the-top as the other two Prestige skins. The Wintertide update rolls out this December.

WoW producer claims Blizzard is in “crisis” mode as studio continues to bleed talent BlizzardA World of Warcraft producer has taken to Twitter to vent their frustration at Blizzard, claiming the studio is at a loss of capacity, forcing them to create “crisis maps” of completable projects. Blizzard has been a point of contention within the gaming space in recent years. The developers have found themselves at the center of plenty of scandals and controversy, causing for some turbulent times at the company. As such many development teams at Blizzard have felt the echoes of these scandals. From multiple rounds of layoffs to voluntary detachments amid a return to office work, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing for the WoW, Overwatch, and Diablo developers. Amid the rough stretch, most recently, a World of Warcraft game producer took to Twitter, venting their frustration after another member of their team left the company. This appears to have been the straw that broke the camel’s back for them. WoW game producer vents frustration with Blizzard higher-ups Game producer Adam “Glaxigrav” spoke out about their frustration with losing a team member, pointing the finger at Blizzard’s higher-ups. Glaxigrav claimed that “Blizzard is losing amazing talent because someone in power doesn’t listen to the game directors who make his products.” They expanded upon their comment by expressing their displeasure in fighting the company, and instead want to focus on making better games and experiences for players. “I don’t want to fight… I just want to make video games. I want to make amazing best-sellers that are critically acclaimed. I want to make better Dragonflights. I want to make better experiences.” Unfortunately, due to the loss of talent, Blizzard “Can’t do that if (they) get rid of everyone who made it.” Glaxigrav stated. To conclude their thread, they provided some insight into what is happening on the WoW team at this point in time. “We are creating crisis maps of what we can or cannot ship. That is the loss of capacity we’re facing… I literally have a schedule I strike out as people hand in notice.” Many Twitter users gave their support to Glaxigrav, empathizing with their want to create better experiences for WoW players, but Blizzard has responded to the concerns. “This is not a team practice for WoW. However, making decisions around priorities, iterating, and ensuring quality are everyday parts of game development,” a Blizzard spokesperson told Dexerto.

WoW players call for more 10-man raids in Season of Discovery Blizzard EntertainmentWorld of Warcraft: Season of Discovery has changed a lot about the original Vanilla formula, and players want to see one of the major new additions appear a lot more often in the later phases of the game. There was plenty of new content for players to sink their teeth into during the first phase of Season of Discovery. Chief among these was the new 10-man raid adaptation of the beloved Blackfathom Deeps dungeon. Though raids are perhaps more associated with their 25-man and 40-man versions, 10-man has always proved popular thanks to the comparatively easy to organise group size. The developer likely also felt it to be a more appropriate size given that BFD is an adaptation of an existing dungeon and players are currently maxed out at level 25. Now, players are calling for it to become the standard moving forward for Season of Discovery. WoW Season of Discovery players see 10-man raids as the way forward In a post on Reddit, one player expressed the enjoyment they have had from the 10-man Blackfathom Deeps raid. Not only does the player want to see future adaptations and raid experiences take on the same form as BFD, they also want to see the existing endgame experiences like Molten Core scaled back to the same scope. Many were quick to agree, with one saying: “Yea I have zero desire to fill a 40 man team anymore. Too many conflicting personalities and not enough loot to satiate them all.” Others were looking for fair compromise between the different sizes. One said: “I’d honestly like a mix. There are pros and cons to all sizes imo. 10-mans are super easy and relaxing, but not having “real” raids barely makes it feel like you’re playing in a guild which I really miss.” Blizzard’s plans for the next phase of raiding in Season of Discovery is unclear but it’s difficult to see why they would stray from a winning formula. With the next phase set to arrive within the next two months, players won’t have long to wait to find out.

WoW Dragonflight players spot revamped version of a classic easter egg on world map BlizzardWoW Dragonflight players have noticed a bizarre detail that snuck into the game with the latest expansion. Dragonflight has brought a ton of changes to the World of Warcraft universe that we all know and love, and while there are some big ones that are redefining the game, there are tons of little overlooked details that made their way in as well. This silly little detail about the world map may not shake the foundation of the game, but it is an interesting and intentional choice that may hint back to an old inside joke from earlier editions of the game. Secret WoW Dragonflight detail left players scratching their heads After the new update, the Azeroth world map is clearly being held backward when player characters take it out and examine it. All it took was one post on the World of Warcraft subreddit for the community to put this one under the spotlight for the change to be confirmed and for players to start crafting their own theories about the situation. These thoughts have ranged from the people of Azeroth’s brains being different from our own all the way down to a Tolkien-esque world design, where the lands deemed to be Eastern are actually at the top of the map. There is precedent for the map being wrong though. For much of the game’s lifespan, it was actually held upside down, and many players think it’s just the art team sneaking in a subtle reference to that little quirk. One player defended that possibility by noting that it’s a common trope in media for characters to hold a map or a book upside down for comedic effect, which does stand to reason. After all, Blizzard has a habit of sneaking in all kinds of pop culture references into their beloved game.

WoW Dragonflight features: New UI, talent trees, race & class combos Blizzard EntertainmentWoW Dragonflight features are massively overhauled in the upcoming expansion, including a brand new UI and customization, the return of talent trees, new race & class combinations, and so much more. World of Warcraft’s next expansion, Dragonflight, is shaking up the popular MMORPG in a major way. Developer Blizzard Entertainment has promised the latest expansion will return the beloved game “back to its roots” and remind players why they fell in love with the game in the first place by focusing on polishing the game rather than a boatload of new features or mechanics. Instead, Blizzard is narrowing in on improving the user interface, refining customization via the return of talent trees, and making classes more available to a wide array of races. Let’s get into all of the new features in Dragonflight. Contents WoW Dragonflight: UI changes Arguably the biggest change coming in Dragonflight is the revamped UI and the insane amount of new customization options. Player nameplates look completely new, putting the player level in the top right, the name on the left, and the green health bar directly in the middle. The action bar dragons on the bottom left and right have also been redesigned for a more modern, bold look, and can be removed entirely in the UI settings. On top of that, Blizzard is finally listening to player feedback and allowing you to customize its UI in a myriad of different ways. To start, there is now a grid that can be enabled which allows you to snap bars, frames, and profiles so that everything can perfectly align with one another to make ergonomic space on your space without the need for an addon. The grid is even resizeable. You can now save different HUD layouts to switch between them, and even import and share your own layouts with friends across the internet. This will make it much easier to share specific layouts between DPS, healers, and tanks to always have the most optimal layout depending on what spec you’re playing. While addons will still be allowed in Dragonflight, Blizzard has provided players with a ton of customization to make many cosmetic UI addons not needed. The map can even be moved, although it’s one of the only things you cannot resize outside of changing your entire UI scale. WoW Dragonflight: Talent trees Talent trees are back in World of Warcraft for the first time since 2012. The new talent trees will now give two different talent trees to work with, and that’s the class tree and the specialization tree. The class tree will be more focused on general abilities, spell effects, and some bonuses. The specialization tree will grant more spells and specific interactions. Talent trees can be saved as a loadout, and in similar fashion to the HUD changes we previously covered, can be both shared and imported with other players. Each class’s talent tree comes with new splash art, and each specialization has art to fit the spec, and looks fantastic as a backdrop. WoW Dragonflight: New race & class combos Dragonflight allows all classes to play as Mage, Rogue, and Priest. Previously, these classes were locked to a handful of races, but now with the launch of patch 10.0, all classes can play these three. For the first time ever, combos like Tauren Rogues will be possible. Lead combat designer Brian Holinka revealed back in April 2022 that the WoW dev team wants to continue to open up as many race & class combos as they can, but they are somewhat restricted by lore and content requirements. With so many changes coming in the MMORPG’s next adventure, it’ll be hard to keep up with everything new. Stay tuned to our WoW Dragonflight page to stay up to date with everything.

WoW Dragonflight players demand devs adjust ‘unbalanced’ Mythic+ timers Blizzard EntertainmentWorld of Warcraft Dragonflight players have shared their frustrations with the title’s Mythic+ timers, claiming that they’re incredibly unbalanced between Azure Vaults and Shadowmoon Burial Grounds. Dragonflight has earned itself plenty of praise among the World of Warcraft community. Asmongold, for example, called it a “massive step up” from the Shadowlands expansion. Additional praise also came from an efforts to maximize deaf representation in the expansion. And while criticism seems to be at a historic low, Dragonflight players have found a serious problem with the design of some Mythic+ dungeons. More specifically, players have taken issue with the time limits. For those unaware, Mythic+ difficulty dungeons in WoW require the party to beat the dungeon in a specified time limit, clear a minimum % of mobs in the dungeon, and of course, beat all the bosses. The timer thus becomes the most important aspect, as you need to optimize for the shortest possible run. Reddit user Yuuffy pointed out in a Reddit thread that beating Shadowmoon Burial Grounds on Mythic+ allows your party to die over 30 times and still make it in time, but let your entire party die 2 times in Azure Vaults and you won’t make it. WoW Dragonflight players baffled by Mythic+ dungeon timers Many players agreed with the original poster, bringing up stories supporting how ridiculously forgiving the Shadowmoon Burial Ground Mythic+ timer is compared to other dungeons. “Played a 15 SBG recently where the tank lost his internet connection right after Sadana and had to run over to his friend’s house with his laptop to keep playing,” commented one player. “Still timed it with 2 minutes to spare.” Others confirmed that running Azure Vaults on Mythic+ is needlessly ruthless. “Azure vault has like 2 trilion mobs,” points out one user. Others displayed a lack of faith in Blizzard fixing it anytime soon, with one commenting sarcstically: “Don’t worry it will be fixed in 2 years.” We can’t say for sure what the future brings to the Dragonflight expansion, but for now, it seems pretty solid, despite a misstep here and there.

WoW & Diablo composer slams Activision Blizzard amid lawsuit controversy Blizzard EntertainmentAs thousands of Activision Blizzard employees have come forward about their working experiences during the ongoing lawsuit, beloved composer Russell Brower, who has worked on WoW, Starcraft and Diablo franchises, has made his own thoughts very clear. The news that Activision Blizzard are being sued by the state of California sent ripples throughout the company, it’s studios, fans and the industry at large. As top content creators such as Asmongold join the chorus of gamers condemning the publisher’s actions, harrowing testimonies from former and present workers alike paint a very bleak picture. Russell Brower, the man behind the iconic soundtracks that accompany your World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 journeys, among others, has also hit back at the gaming behemoth in a subtle but effective change to his Twitter bio. Russell Brower slams Activision Blizzard From soaring symphonies to cascading choruses, Brower’s 12-year legacy with the company cannot be understated. Parting ways with the company in 2017, fans of his work expected him to make sporadic appearances in future releases, but that seems to have gone out the window. Reacting to the claims made in the lawsuit, Brower has altered his Twitter biography to read “Composer, Music Director, Conductor – World of Warcraft, Diablo III, StarCraft II. Wish I could get those 12 years of my life back.” Before the news dropped, that second sentence wasn’t there.

Although he hasn’t Tweeted about the situation, a quick glance at the ‘likes’ section of his profile also shows his overwhelming support for those who have suffered throughout their time with the company. Brower joins former Blizzard co-founder and former president Mike Morhaim, as well as over a thousand current employees, in denouncing the company’s treatment of their staff. Accused of fostering a “pervasive frat boy culture,” the accusations levelled against Activision Blizzard include sexual harassment, creation of an unsafe working environment, as well as involvement in the suicide of a former employee.

WoTC respond with updated Open Game License amid D&D fan outrage Wizards of The CoastDungeons and Dragons owners, Wizards of The Coast have responded to fans after an outpour of frustration regarding the new Open Game License, stating they have updated the original leak. The original OGL 1.1 was brought to the communities attention through a leak and instantly caused outrage, with many fans mass-unsubscribing from D&D Beyond and ultimately showing their disapproval for the entire change, claiming it would close off and destroy D&D as many have grown to know and love. Now, after days of silence and many WoTC employees leaking some behind-the-scenes information regarding the company’s approach to the situation, an updated Open Game License has been revealed, detailing new changes while also claiming the previous leak was an “early draft of the new OGL”. WoTC post an updated version of the OGL following mass outpour from D&D fans The updated version highlights that the “next OGL will contain the provisions [to] cover only content for TTRPG’s” meaning all charitable campaigns, cosplay, VTT’s, and livestreams will be unaffected by the update. Moreover, the revised OGL 1.1, shared through the Wizards of The Coast Twitter, highlights how “you will own the content you create”, which was a major concern for many creators upon reading the first OGL. Another major concern was the implication of royalties, however, the document states, that “what it will not contain is any royalty structure” perhaps suggesting the removal of the idea entirely. On top of that, WoTC noted down their regrets and apologized for the way in which the OGL was written as well as the negative response they quickly garnered upon its leak, stating “we want to always delight fans and create experiences together that everyone loves. We realize we did not do that this time and we are sorry for that.” While this updated version of the Open Game License is not finalized, fans are hoping this is a step in the right direction for Wizards of The Coast and will quickly solve the turmoil swarming the Dungeons and Dragons community.

WOTC slammed by players after D&D’s online marketplace removes option to buy individual content Wizards of the CoastDungeons & Dragons 5e players are outraged following changes made to D&D Beyond that removed a la carte purchases for individual content. D&D Beyond is the official app & digital service for the game. Those who don’t want to use pencil and paper can do pretty much everything associated with the game using their phone, including maintaining character sheets and rolling dice. In the past, players could purchase individual pieces of content from official sourcebooks and add them to their D&D Beyond account for cheaper than buying the whole book. That way, if you only wanted one subclass or Feat, then you could get it on its own without paying full price. However, a new D&D Beyond update (as explained on its FAQ page) has revealed that a la carte purchases are gone, and players will have to buy the full book if they want the content. Those who have already purchased individual content will keep it, as it’s not a retroactive change. Naturally, fans are furious at the change, citing it as another example of Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast’s greed and anti-consumer sentiment, especially following the 2023 OGL leak disaster. D&D books often contain a mixture of player and DM content. This means players would only purchase the aspects of the book that they could use, such as new subclasses or spells, and then use them with their D&D Beyond account. Fans are pointing out that their most common purchases on D&D Beyond are individual pieces of books. Now that option is gone, they won’t be buying anything else, as they’re not going to pay full price for one thing they’ll use. Hopefully, like the OGL incident, these changes to D&D Beyond will be reversed. It could either come from fan backlash or a drop in profits, but the latter is more likely to prompt the response, especially considering why these changes were made in the first place.

The top 7 worst speedrun fails of all time NintendoSpeedrunning is a stressful and time-consuming process, requiring hundreds of hours of dedication. And sometimes, a speedrun fail can be a learning experience for anyone involved. When speedruns go wrong, all hell can break loose. Times become distorted, players get embarrassed, and the internet gets to have a little fun with it. These flawed runs are often left out of official uploads, and yet there are still many moments where the worst speedrun fails are displayed to thousands of viewers. We partnered with the National Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, to show how fails are accepted in video game speedruns, but not in real life on the roads. Just as it’s important to concentrate and exercise patience on a speedrun, you must also do the same when driving. We’ve found seven of the worst speedrun fails we could find and compiled them here for you. 7. Semanari accidentally deletes save file in Divinity: Original Sin 2 Mistakes are always bound to happen when you’re on camera, and because of this Divinity speedrunner Semanari’s run of Original Sin 2 came to an unfortunate end at AGDQ 2019. Part of the run counts on retrieving a certain quick save from earlier in the run, but a case of mistakenly making too many saves at one time caused the file he was relying on to unfortunately be erased. Flustered, Semanari starts to restart his run and catch up, before admitting defeat and ending early. While unfortunate, many within the speedrunning community came to Semanari’s support following the incident. 6. Gyre miscounts and messes up a Final Fantasy glitch, twice At AGDQ 2016, speedrunner Gyre started a run of the original Final Fantasy for the NES. Part of this run involves manipulating something called the “staircase glitch”, which basically involves moving back and forth between two screens via a flight of stairs found in the game. By doing this repeatedly, he’s able to manipulate the game code to allow a skip to the end of the game. Unfortunately, Gyre miscounted the number of times he did this and was unable to complete the run. After restarting the game and having a second attempt, he miscounted again and gave up. 5. Drog places 11th in Mario Kart Wii During AGDQ 2015, speedrunner Drog’s Any% run of Mario Kart Wii had already been hit with a number of problems. Drog had already failed to achieve a couple of glitches throughout the race, adding many unnecessary seconds to his total time. However, the most awkward moment came in during the Coconut Mall race, in which Drog unsuccessfully attempts an out-of-bounds glitch six times, before doing it on the 7th go. Unfortunately, the other racers have already beaten Drog to the finish line, and he places 11th at the end. 4. Pro_JN quits Zelda 2 speedrun During ADGQ 2015, Zelda speedrunner Pro_JN was 12 minutes into a run that would take an estimated 1 hour and 20 minutes to beat, when he died to a surprise enemy attack that came from the side of the screen. When he restarted the stage, he was unable to replicate a glitch that allowed him to skip various parts of the game. Despite the fact he was still very early into the playthrough, he decided to end it there rather than continue on. We can’t help but feel for the guy, it was shaping up to be a great run. 3. Halo run goes over by 2 hours Halo speedrunner Cody Miller attended AGDQ 2011 to run Halo: Combat Evolved. The run was supposed to be played on Legendary difficulty, with an estimated completion time of 2 hours. But not only did Miller go 2 hours over his estimated time, he also had to lower the difficulty twice, going down to Normal difficulty towards the end. After facing the embarrassment of such a botched run, it was later discovered Miller had cheated and spliced his runs at home, leaving him wholly unprepared for AGDQ. We’re quite impressed by the self-confidence Miller has here, even if it is one of the biggest speedrun fails of all time. 2. Mario run ends after 3DS battery dies Battery woes are the biggest pain when it comes to handheld gaming. For Mario Bros. speedrunner EeveeSpirit, this couldn’t have come at a worse time 24 minutes into an estimated 31 minute run of New Super Mario Bros. 2 on the 3DS. As you can see in the clip above, EeveeSpirit’s reaction is at first confusion, only for them to realize the battery in the console has died. What’s worse is after being asked to plug in the 3DS and continue, they reply with “I don’t have a charger!”. The moral of the story is: always pack a charger, especially when you’re going to be playing in front of thousands of viewers. 1. Kythol forgets it’s a pacifist run, kills enemies Speedrunner Kythol attended SDGQ 2016 with the intention of doing a pacifist run of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, which was also presented as a donation incentive by viewers tuning in. Within minutes of the run starting, Kythol begins killing enemies, even optional ones that can be avoided. Within the first 15 minutes of the run, Kythol had already apologized several times for forgetting this. There’s even a part where he comments that he’s getting the hang of not killing any animals, only to do exactly that a few minutes later. If you fancy checking out more speedrunning content, we also have the fastest speedruns of all time. Featured Image Credit: @Spoon_Wiggle

World’s first custom PS5 controller revealed with Dragon Ball Z theme YouTube/LazaModzThe first-ever custom PlayStation 5 controller in the world has been revealed and it has an impressive Dragon Ball Z theme paying homage to series protagonist Goku. The custom controller, designed by LaZa Modz features a nice orange and blue polish that replicates the iconic outfit worn by Goku in the manga and anime. While the PlayStation 5 version is new, the design itself has been a best-seller for awhile. As the narrator points out, the DBZ theme has existed since the Xbox 360 variant in 2010. “We have carried it through every generation of console and this is the look, the first look, at the PlayStation 5 version of the Dragon Ball Z controller,” he added. On the left-hand side of the controller, the left and right buttons of the D-Pad make up the two-star Dragon Ball. Meanwhile, on the right side, the triangle button is the four-star ball, circle is five, ‘X’ is six and square is the three-star Dragon Ball. The seven-star and one-star balls, are not actually buttons. Rather, they are pieces of art on both sides of the handle. Master Roshi’s symbol, which Goku wears, is in the middle of the controller. “I think it ties the design together with the white and the blue and the black,” he explained. The base controller would set you back $179.99, but there are some add-ons you can get to it with different types of finishes. The PlayStation 5 is set to launch in North America, Japan, Australia, and South Korea on November 12 with Europe following a week after on November 19. If you’re in the market for another controller in addition to the one packaged into the console, and if you’re a fan of Dragon Ball, this could be the one for you. Of course, as the console ages, expect more and more custom controllers to be released including some with special buttons down the line.

Worlde is being turned into a board game by Hasbro WordleWordle is being turned into a board game as The New York Times is licensing it out to games giant Hasbro to create its first ever physical version. Although many have touted Elden Ring as 2022’s Game of the Year, the gaming market at large may disagree. Wordle has been one of, if not the, biggest game of the year so far and touts an enormous player base of 300,000 daily players. The popular web-based word title was purchased by The New York Times back in February 2022, which is now lending the name to Hasbro for the first ever board game based on Wordle. Hasbro announces Worlde board game The new board game is called Wordle: The Party Game, and is slated for an October 1, 2022 release. Hasbro’s physical version of Wordle will have players guess a five-letter word with up to six chances, as players get clues via color clues mimicking the mobile version’s green and yellow. Players can play against each other in the “classic” version of the game as they will guess the letters of a word chosen by the “Wordle Host.” Contestants will each take turns as the host. There is also a new two vs. two mode which pits teams against each other and as players guess what word their opponent has chosen. In total, there are four versions to play in the new party game: classic, teams, timed, and fast. Included in the box are a dry-erase board, markers, partitions to prevent cheating, and green and yellow tiles. The Times also created an official Wordle word list to use while picking a five-letter word. Wordle: The Board Game will be released at a price point of $19.99.

World of Warcraft DoT explained: What does it mean and how to use it The massively popular online RPG is known for its variety of classes and diverse mechanics, such as DoTs. Damage Over Time are spells or abilities that hurt the enemies’ HP during a specific period of time. So, if you’re wondering how to use them effectively around Azeroth, this guide is what you need. World of Warcraft has been around for almost 20 years, and because of how massive it is, many players may be reluctant to start their journey in Blizzard’s game. As one of the longest-running RPGs to ever exist, the game is filled with terminology popping up everywhere, throwing off even the most proficient players. This mostly happens during combat, one of the main features the title has. So, if you want to jump into the WoW universe, you’ll need to learn the basics. Here’s everything you need to know about the DoT mechanic, so you can stand a chance during combats. What is DoT in World of Warcraft DoT is the abbreviation for Damage Over Time. These are spells or special abilities that deal damage over a certain period of time, rather than inflicting a single burst at once. This unique and very useful mechanic can be a bleeding wound, poison, burns, or even curses applied by your character. So, while you hit your enemy with Direct Damage, the Damage Over Time will help you extract extra HP from your enemy by the seconds. However, keep in mind that even though they have prolonged effects, they do end, so you must refresh the DoT by re-applying it. DoTs Mechanics Explained Every DoT in World of Warcraft is different because of its characteristics, so you must analyze them to pick the DoT that suits your combat style the best. Duration: The total amount of time the effect will last on your target. – Interval: How often the effect will hit your enemy. – Refresh: Re-applying the DoT. Doing this properly will result in optimal damage. Restart: Once you recast, the old effect will be removed and replaced with a new one. – Legacy: Once you recast, the duration of the new effect is added after the one scheduled. – 30% rule: Once you recast, the lesser of 30% of the base or remaining duration will be retained and added to the next effect’s duration. – Extend: Once you recast, it will extend the DoT by the new duration. – – Uptime: Keeping the DoTs active as much as possible to ensure constant damage. – Though they seem complicated at first, once you get a grip of how to exploit DoTs, you’ll become unstoppable. Also, as this effect is built with time, the longer the combat, the more powerful you’ll be. Classes that use DoTs Even though every class in World of Warcraft has access to at least one DoT, this type of damage is mainly used by Affliction Warlocks and Shadow Priests, as well as Death Knights, Assassination Rogues, and Balance Druids. DoT-heavy classes are devastating on boss encounters that have multiple enemies, as they can use their DoTs on various targets simultaneously. Enemies can also use DoTs, so it’s key that you understand how they work and how damaging they can be in order to find the proper way to counter them. That’s it! That’s all you need to know about DoTs in World of Warcraft.

World of Tanks 1.10 patch notes: New tanks & equipment overhaul WargamingThe brand new 1.10 update has dropped in Wargaming’s World of Tanks, bringing with it new tanks, equipment and a returning fan favorite map – in one of the biggest updates in the game’s ten year history. Wargaming’s World of Tanks originally released back in August of 2010, capitalizing on its massive multiplayer format to introduce its players to organized tank chaos. 10 years later, and World of Tanks is going as strongly as ever. What’s more is that the game’s developers have a monumental update up their sleeves in order to celebrate it turning a decade old. The update – 1.10 – will feature a host of brand new tanks, equipment and the return of map Pearl River. Not only is there new content coming to World of Tanks, but Wargaming are set to overhaul the game’s basic mechanics, meaning it will be a case of re-learning (some of) the ropes for long-time players. “1.10 is the biggest World of Tanks update since 1.0 released in 2018,” said Max Chuvalov, the Publishing Director on WoT. “The biggest part of it is the new equipment system. The current iteration has been in the game for 10 years now and was definitely in need of a revamp. Players will now be able to experiment a lot more with their loadouts thanks to the new and improved equipment items.” Alongside the new system and equipment, ‘slot specialization’ is coming. Every vehicle from Tier VI and above will have one of these slots, and all equipment will be placed into one of four categories: firepower, survivability, mobility and scouting. By placing certain pieces of equipment in this slot, tankers will get an extra bonus on top of the piece’s standard one. Update 1.10 will also feature the introduction of 6 new Polish medium tanks. The best new tank being introduced is the CS-63, which introduces a gas-turbine engine to WoT. “Boasting both standard and rapid mode, the latter will increase the vehicle’s engine power, as well as its top speed and acceleration,” say Wargaming. “However, when this mode is activated, its accuracy is significantly impacted.” Finally, the in-game communication system has been made simpler and more efficient, so tankers can concentrate more on the battle while delivering informative messages to comrades. It certainly sounds like Wargaming are set to shake up the established formula, but some fans expressed reservations about the equipment changes. Whether they are won over after having spent some time with the new system remains to be seen.

World First FFXIV Omega Protocol run under investigation as winners used Plugins Square EnixFinal Fantasy XIV’s The Omega Protocol has finally been cleared, however, the world’s first run is under investigation after videos surfaced of a player zooming out far more than the game allowed thanks to the use of a third-party plugin. Final Fantasy XIV’s ultimates are always huge spectacles, offering extremely difficult content for only the most competent of players. The most recent ultimate, The Omega Protocol recounts the raid series of Omega, and is arguably the most challenging ultimate Square Enix has released thus far. As such it’s taken many days and dozens of hours for raiders to progress through the fight, and even now, most raid groups are yet to clear. The World’s First group called UNNAMED_ took to Twitter after the clear on 31st January 2023 at 3:34 JST. However, after a video surfaced online of one of UNNAMED_’s runs, their world’s first clear was immediately put under scrutiny. This video was posted by another member of UNNAMED_, who was not a part of the first clear of the fight. After UNNAMED_ had finished the fight, they refused to run the fight again for the other member, who was promised a clear after the others had finished. As a result, the player took to YouTube under the guise of “Divine Judgement” in Japanese, and posted a video of a player using illicit plugins whilst progressing in the fight. This plugin allowed the player to zoom out far more than usual, essentially letting the player have a far better view of the fight and the mechanics currently occurring. Plugins are directly against Final Fantasy XIV’s terms of service, and the game director Naoki Yoshida has stated that “Players who are determined to be using third-party tools will have their accounts suspended, or permanently banned for repeat offenses.” However, these rules are not strictly enforced to the point where Square Enix actively searches for plugin users. Players still use plugins in Final Fantasy XIV, particularly for things such as cosmetics or model modification, as well as tools like Advanced Combat Tracker for combat and damage logs. Oftentimes, players even use plugins to solve issues that the game has, such as allowing for more waymark presets. The issue only arises when players are found actively using them or talking about them in-game, and so plugins have become a sort of cultural taboo for the MMO. Plugins are generally thought to be fine by the community but have definitely been brought into question when it comes to World First races. In both the previous ultimate and The Omega Protocol, teams have been using plugins to gain certain advantages in the race to the top. Game Director Naoki Yoshida has taken the game’s blog posts in response to the commotion regarding the world’s first clear, claiming that “If the illicit use of third-party tools is made clear through our investigations, I, at the very least, will not recognize that team as the true World First.” It also appears that all members of UNNAMED_ have had their achievements, gear, and titles stripped recently, meaning that it’s very possible the World’s First is still up in the air for the taking.

Wordle players encounter new challenge as mobile ads from DoorDash appear The New York TimesWordle, the addictive word game The New York Times acquired in 2022, just got a sprinkle of capitalism with its first-ever mobile ads, courtesy of DoorDash. This move is part of the Times’ strategy to monetize the viral sensation, especially for players who aren’t subscribed to Games. From July 5, mobile web players who select ‘Play’ on Wordle will be greeted with video ads for DoorDash before the game begins. This marks the first instance of ad deployment on Wordle’s mobile platform, expanding on the Times’ earlier move to start running ads on the desktop version. The partnership also brings a fun twist for Wordle and DoorDash enthusiasts: the Wordle of the day can be used as a discount code for DoorDash’s subscription product, DashPass, valid until August 16. Despite fears that commercialization would tarnish Wordle’s charm, player stats suggest otherwise. According to an Axios report, Wordle usage peaked last year but has remained strong, even after its acquisition by the Times. In fact, the report also states that around 35% of users who subscribe to the Times’ gaming service do so because of Wordle, despite it being a free game. It’s also noteworthy that DoorDash isn’t the only one capitalizing on Wordle’s popularity. Smart ring manufacturer Oura has also signed on, meaning that more ads are ready to be served to mobile web players. Unsurprisingly, not all Wordle fans are pleased with the recent changes. Reddit users have voiced their displeasure over the full-screen pop-up ads, particularly those who access Wordle via the website on Android. “I could accept the small ads at the bottom of the Wordle puzzle, but this full-screen interstitial ad is too much. Boooo!” said one disgruntled player. If you’re an avid Wordle player be sure to swing by Dexerto’s very own Wordle section.

After two blockbuster movies, Wonder Woman is finally getting her own video game — and it’s Monolith Productions who have been put in charge of bringing the project to life. Announced at the 2021 Game Awards on December 10, the reveal came completely out of nowhere and took audiences by surprise. While the game is still in its early stages, a teaser and comments from the devs have given us a good indication of what we can expect. So, without further ado, let’s run down everything we know about the upcoming Wonder Woman game. Contents Is there a Wonder Woman Game release date? – Are there any Wonder Woman Game trailers? – Wonder Woman gameplay details – Wonder Woman story details – What platforms will Wonder Woman Game be on? – Is there a Wonder Woman game release date? Currently, the Wonder Woman game has not got a release date. It’s still in the early stages of the development process and is not predicted to be soon, however, we’ll be sure to update this section as we learn more. Are there any Wonder Woman game trailers? While we’ve yet to see any substantial trailers for the game, alongside its reveal at the 2021 Game Awards on December 10, Monolith unveiled a short teaser to get fans excited for Wonder Woman. Whoa, we definitely didn’t have this on our bingo card! Wonder Woman from @monolithdev + @wbgames #TheGameAwards pic.twitter.com/VFe7qHgKpR — The Game Awards (@thegameawards) December 10, 2021 While the trailer doesn’t reveal anything about the story or gameplay, it does give us our first look at Wonder Woman and her incredible suit of armor. Wonder Woman gameplay: Live service & Nemesis System Although the teaser may have given fans very little information when it comes to gameplay, mechanics, and story, the devs did shed some light on some of the features we can expect to see in the title. For starters, they made it very clear that storytelling will be at the forefront of their design. “At Monolith Productions, we believe in the power of player-driven storytelling to unite people… we are honored to take players on a unique personal journey, driven by the values embodied in Wonder Woman,” said David Hewitt, the Studio Head at Monolith Productions. Hewitt didn’t stop there, elaborating that Wonder Woman would adopt the Nemesis system pioneered by Monolith’s Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War titles. Not only that, he confirmed that the upcoming superhero title will be an open-world experience, so players can look forward to exploring a brand new world at release. “The Nemesis System raised the bar for player-driven storytelling and we’re excited to push the open-world genre forward, combining cutting-edge action with inventive narratives to create a Wonder Woman game everyone will want to play.” Wonder Woman job listing suggests it’ll be a live service game https://t.co/0P98SS3IHo pic.twitter.com/ypM6P0Zflf — Eurogamer (@eurogamer) November 15, 2023 In keeping with the idea that it will be an open-world experience, the publishers revealed that players will be able to “become Diana of Themyscira in the fight to unite her Amazon family and the humans from the modern world.” Adding that gamers will be able to fully traverse Themyscira as a result. Recent updates for the game tease that it will incorporate live service elements. As reported by Wccftech, Monolith, of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor fame, is currently looking for a lead software engineer of gameplay on Wonder Woman and wants the candidate to have experience in “helping maintain a live software product or game”. Wonder Woman story: Which DC characters will appear? As is the way with any big superhero video game adaptation, expect to see some well-known and familiar faces in the upcoming Wonder Woman game. According to recent leaks from @HazzadorGamin on X, Wonder Woman will include a variety of female villains from the comics such as Circe, Medusa, and Cheetah. Furthermore, these leaks also indicate that other well-known DC characters will feature in the game. However, who this will be is still yet to be leaked or confirmed. What platforms will the Wonder Woman game be on? Monolith is yet to confirm whether Wonder Woman will be exclusive to one of the next-gen consoles. However, for now, we can assume the title will be released on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. So, there you have it, that’s everything we know about the upcoming open-world Wonder Woman game. Rest assured, we’ll be sure to update this article as soon as any new information is revealed or leaked.

Wolfenstein 3: Bethesda’s confirmation, next chapter for BJ Blazkowicz, everything we know BethesdaAlthough Wolfenstein 3 is certainly in active development, details surrounding the third installment have remained scarce in recent years. While it’s early days yet, here’s a rundown on everything we know thus far about the next chapter in the B.J. Blazkowicz story. Wolfenstein: The New Order revolutionized the iconic FPS franchise when it hit store shelves in 2014. Through its gritty but often quirky tone, the alternate history plot made B.J. Blazkowicz into a true war hero for a new generation of gamers. What followed was a sequel in The New Colossus in 2017, before a divisive co-op spinoff Youngblood in 2019. However, in the years that have since passed, the popular series has gone silent. Beyond confirmation of a proper, third mainline entry, little else has been revealed about Wolfenstein 3. So while it’s early days yet, let’s take a look at everything we know thus far about Wolfenstein 3 ahead of its eventual release. Contents Does Wolfenstein 3 have a release date? – Do we know what platforms Wolfenstein 3 will release on? – Wolfenstein 3 in development alongside Indiana Jones – Wolfenstein 3 plot details – Does Wolfenstein 3 have a release date yet? At this stage, Wolfenstein 3 does not have a clear release date just yet. Although the project has seemingly been in the works for a number of years already, perhaps as early as 2019 following the launch of Youngblood, silence surrounding the game indicates it’s still a ways off. “Absolutely we’re making a Wolfenstein 3,” Pete Hines said back in 2018. Beyond that confirmation, however, little else has been said publicly about the game ever since. Currently, there’s no telling when we should expect to see the third entry. It could be a surprise launch in 2024, or fans may be kept waiting through 2025 and beyond. We’ll just have to wait and see when all the right pieces fall into place and Bethesda tells us more. Do we know what platforms Wolfenstein 3 will release on? Due to the lack of concrete details on the third entry, there’s currently no telling what platforms we might see Wolfenstein 3 on at launch. However, if we had to wager a guess, it seems most likely Wolfenstein 3 will be current-gen only, releasing across PS5, Xbox Series S | X, and PC. Given previous-gen hardware limitations, and the fact this third entry could still be a few years off, there’s every chance developers have made the call to leave outdated systems behind. As always, we’ll keep you up to speed right here as any further details emerge on specific platforms for Wolfenstein 3. Wolfenstein 3 is in active development alongside Indiana Jones One thing we do know for certain, is that Machine Games, the studio behind the latest Wolfenstein revamp, is currently hard at work on a yet untitled Indiana Jones game for Bethesda. This separate project was made official back in 2021 but has also remained tightly under wraps ever since. As a result, there’s really no telling which project is further along and which is being prioritized by the Swedish development team. If Indiana Jones is set to come out first, this could push Wolfenstein 3 even further back on the calendar. And given the former doesn’t yet have a concrete release date, it wouldn’t be wise for B.J. Blazkowicz fans to hold their breath. What do we know about the plot of Wolfenstein 3? The Wolfenstein series could go in a number of directions for this third entry. On one hand, we could follow Blazkowicz in the years that followed The New Colossus, dealing with the fallout of his revolutionary actions at the end of the previous mainline title. However, on the other hand, we also saw Youngblood push the series forward 20 years, as we played as his daughters Jessie and Zofia. So a third entry could just as well integrate these characters into the fold as we continue forward in the 1980s. Without a clear direction revealed to fans, it’s unclear exactly what we can expect from the next full release in the Wolfenstein series. But rest assured, we’ll be seeing the Blazkowicz family taking down oppressive dictators again just like usual. Be sure to check back here as we’ll keep you updated on all the latest details surrounding Wolfenstein 3.

Wolf Among Us 2 delay pushes long-awaited sequel out of 2023 Telltale GamesDeveloper Telltale Games has delayed the long-awaited Wolf Among Us 2 out of its previously announced 2023 release window. The Wolf Among Us will celebrate its 10th anniversary this coming October. Fans were hoping to celebrate the milestone year with a new entry, especially after the long wait. Notably, the revived Telltale Games unveiled the sequel during The Game Awards 2019, finally offering a glimpse at Bigby Wolf’s next adventure. But lengthy bouts of silence about the production’s progress have left many scratching their heads. Now it’s clear the curiosity about what comes next will build for a little while longer. Telltale delays The Wolf Among Us 2 to 2024 Telltale Games has made the “difficult decision” to postpone The Wolf Among Us’ previously scheduled 2023 release. The Fabletown-set sequel will now arrive on an unspecified date in 2024, Telltale revealed in a Twitter post. Though the project entered development in 2020, the studio says more time is needed to see its vision through to completion. Speaking with IGN, studio CEO Jamie Ottilie said the protracted production cycle will accommodate the shift from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5. In addition, executives are hoping to avoid crunch. As things currently stand, the game simply isn’t ready for primetime. Ottilie added this when discussing the Wolf Among Us 2 delay: “Making games is difficult and they need time to be right. And it doesn’t do any of us any good to ship something that’s not ready.” Trying to rebuild Telltale during the global pandemic after the studio’s shuttering in 2018 has introduced more than a fair few challenges, as well. When the game finally hits digital stores, fans can expect another episodic rollout. However, unlike previous Telltale adventures, every episode of Wolf Among Us 2 will be completed before the first debuts.

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty update 1.11 patch notes: Game crashes fixed & quest changes Team NinjaThe latest Wo Long Fallen Dynasty update has arrived. Team Ninja’s 1.11 patch addresses some pretty significant issues with the game and we’ve got details on every tweak and fix that’s been made. The hack ‘n’ slash nature of Team Ninja’s Wo Long Fallen Dynasty continues many months after its release. The devs are still fully supporting the Soulslike title and along with future DLC plans, Wo Long is still being subjected to regular, major updates addressing key bugs and technical blemishes. With so much going on in the epic, action game set in Chinese mythology, there is bound to be some problems here and there. So, without further ado, let’s take a dive into Wo Long’s 1.11 update and see what’s new. Wo Long Fallen Dynasty 1.11 update The 1.11 update targets console-specific bugs on PS4 and Steam. Not only that, but it introduces some quality-of-life improvements along with fixes to in-game errors and broken quests. The “Fall of the Corrupted Eunuch” quest has been highlighted in the patch and the devs have made it so that players can now progress once certain conditions have been met. Another massive difference is that the game will no longer crash when left idle on the travel screen. Wo Long Fallen Dynasty July 5 update: 1.11 patch notes Here’s the complete look at every change that Team Ninja has made in the Wo Long Fallen Dynasty 1.11 update: Major Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the game to crash when left idle in the “travel” screen under certain condition. – Fixed a bug that would prevent the player to advance in the game, if “Baishe” is defeated in “Fall of the Corrupted Eunuch” after a recruited guest player had retreated from battle. – Fixed a bug that caused items to duplicate on “Battle Set” menu. A patch to support players with duplicated items that cannot be disposed is currently under development. – – Fixed a bug that would prevent players from switching wizardry skills correctly if “Type C”, “Type D” or “Type E” is selected in “Control Setting”. – Fixed a bug in which Dian Wei’s armor and Xu Chu’s armor were swapped with one another in the Reinforcements menu. – Fixed a bug in which player character’s head would not show correctly if “Loyal Drunk Headband” or “Crimson Night Headpiece” is equipped in a certain way. – Fixed other minor bugs – PlayStation 4 Versions Major Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the game to crash upon entering “The Valley of Crying Wraiths”. – Steam/Microsoft Store Versions Major Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the game to crash upon returning to the game under following combination of graphic settings.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s “tutorial” gives Souls games a bad look Team NinjaA lot of the talk surrounding Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has been about its first boss – Zhang Liang – and how outrageously difficult he is. More than that, the boss is brutally punishing and is evidence that Souls could be more inclusive to casual gamers. I have played and finished every FromSoftware ‘Souls‘ game, Nioh 1 and 2, Code Vein, and I have most recently tackled Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. I’m making it abundantly clear that I am no stranger to this fascinating and frustrating genre that has the ability to simultaneously leave you in tears of joy, relief, and anger. Team Ninja have proven that they are more than the infamous Ninja Gaiden franchise – a gauntlet of dastardly difficulty in its own right – and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is the spiritual successor to their Nioh franchise. All the familiar Souls and Team Ninja tropes are here, but one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is the fact that quite possibly the hardest boss in the whole game… is the first one, and you can encounter him within about half an hour. Quite simply, this isn’t a good look. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s first boss is ridiculous It’s hard to believe, but the concept of a Souls game has been around for nearly 15 years – dating back to the original release of Demon’s Souls in 2009. Not since the days of the SNES and Mega Drive had a game been so consistently harsh if you made mistakes, fast-forward to 2023’s Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and in many respects, the game actually shows how far we’ve come. Gone are the days when you’d have to travel a long way, running past a ton of enemies, just to have another crack at a boss who’s killed you 50 times. Checkpoints are handily available in Wo Long and make it a stress-free jog to undertake your 51st attempt. This number may seem like an exaggeration, however, unprepared players can easily reach figures as high as these when they encounter Zhang Liang, General of Man, in Wo Long. Then again, so can the most prepared players. Once the game has shown you the basics with some fairly typical enemies early on, you will suddenly be thrust into the game’s first boss. Zhang Liang is a multi-phase fight, which is generally unheard of for a starter boss – even in Souls games. Trust me, it could take you a while to even conquer the first phase as you learn to understand Wo Long’s blocking mechanic that will become a central figure in your gameplay. Timing is the key to blocking Critical Blows that can cause you serious damage, lose you a ton of Spirit, and just make the fight a difficult endeavor from then on. As I’ve played Wo Long, I can confidently say that only one other fight in this game delivers anything like this fight. The problem? That other fight is much later on in the game, whereas this is the first boss in the game. Considering this is pretty much Wo Long’s tutorial, it’s a frankly bizarre way of welcoming you to the game. Zhang Liang is not inclusive towards casual gamers at all Elden Ring broke ground in the quest to make the Souls genre mainstream and managed to convert millions of gamers and even won over high-profile streamers like Dr Disrespect. But then titles like Wo Long come along and serve as reminders as to why so many Souls games don’t hit the same heights and achieve that widespread success. It’s a game that is simply catered to an existing audience and makes no bones about it. If someone picks this up off the shelf, gets home, and is instantly presented with a two-phase tank of a fight that demands you perfect its deflect mechanic almost immediately over the course of a 5- to 10-minute fight, then most people just aren’t going to find that fun. They won’t persevere and might just end up returning the game and watching it on Twitch instead. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Driver 1 are somehow alike It feels insane to make this comparison, but 1999’s Driver is the perfect example of how not to do a tutorial. The opening tutorial of Driver is easily the game’s hardest mission and became notorious in gaming folklore as it required you to pull off a series of increasingly tough maneuvres in a short window of time within an unforgivingly small environment. As a result, many people just sent the game back and decided to pick something else up instead. That’s the vibe that Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty sadly gives off and it’s like the game is trying to run players off when they’ve barely even taken the wrapping off. In the context of a game’s structure and chronology, Zhang Liang is a tutorial, and yet it feels like it should be a late-game fight, maybe even the final fight. Subsequent bosses actually end up being a cakewalk in the grand scheme of things. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a game for existing Souls players and Team Ninja’s steadfast vision to cater to those who are already experienced may prove to be to the game’s detriment in the long run.

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty update 1.04 patch notes: Major difficulty changes, new fast travel options added, more Team NinjaWo Long: Fallen Dynasty has been issued a 1.04 update that affects some significant aspects of the core gameplay, as well as tweaks to the game’s sub-systems, and we’ve got the full patch notes. Wo Long is a brutal Souls game and is a continuation of the work that Team Ninja has accomplished in the last few years. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty adopts Chinese history as the key element of its narrative this time around while looking to punish players at the same time. A new 1.04 update looks to right some of the wrongs in the game and make some big improvements to allow for greater accessibility. We have the complete list of patch notes detailing the hefty amount of tweaks and fixes that Team Ninja has made to Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty with the latest update. Wo Long Fallen Dynasty 1.04 update Alongside some rudimentary fixes to update and enhance Wo Long: Fallen Dnasty’s visual and gameplay performance, there are also some important changes that have been made to crucial gameplay mechanics in the 1.04 update. For instance, players can now switch their target to another enemy in a battle while performing animation-based attacks e.g Critical Blows. Also, there has been a significant change made to one of the game’s most controversial missions – the sub-mission: “The Tiger’s Loyal Subjects.” During it, you simultaneously take on three hardened warriors, and players can very quickly become overwhelmed by constant attacks, ranged throwables, and magic. As a result, the difficulty has been decreased. One of the final, major changes made to Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is that when a player completes a main mission or sub-mission, they will now have the option to access the wider map instead of picking one of the pre-selected travel destinations. Wo Long Fallen Dynasty March 17 update: 1.04 patch notes The 1.04 Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty update is pretty extensive, so you can see every change that Team Ninja has made to the game below. All Platforms Adjustments/Additional Features Added a feature that automatically restock arrows/projectiles and consumable items from the storehouse upon accessing a Battle Flag. – Made it possible for players to switch lock-on to another target during the animation sequence for Fatal Strikes, deflects (in response to an enemy’s Critical Blow), and Divine Beasts Summons. – Made it possible for players to open the Travel screen from the screen that appears after clearing a battlefield (except for main battlefields cleared for the first time), and then select which battlefield they would like to go to next. – Added the option to return to the briefing screen before starting Co-op and the option to try the same battlefield again, to the screen that appears after completing a Co-op session. – Changed the player’s Morale Rank to 20 while at the base, the hidden village. – Made the following adjustments to the difficulty of the sub battlefield “The Tiger’s Loyal Subjects”: Adjustments to the AI – Adjustments to damage taken from Critical Blows, the parameters for the increase/decrease of Spirit, etc. – Upward adjustment of the Morale Points acquired by players – – Major Bug Fixes Fixed crash-prone situations that occurred in certain environments. – Fixed a bug that allowed players to enter areas outside of the current stage from certain locations in some stages. – Fixed a bug that caused characters to become stuck (in the ground/surrounding objects) in certain locations in some stages, making it impossible for players to progress. – Fixed a bug that caused the enemies in some stages to be pushed out of the stage, making it impossible for players to progress. – Fixed a bug that caused guest players in Recruit to become unable to progress upon entering a certain house in the sub battlefield “The Lost Sacred Artifact” until the host player opened the door. – Fixed a bug that made it possible to exchange items with a Shitieshou every time the player resumes the game from a Battle Flag in the sub battlefield “Fate of the Entertainer.” – Fixed a bug that occurred during the battle against Zhang Liang in the main battlefield “Village of Calamity” where, if the player went into Spirit Disruption right when they defeated Zhang Liang’s first form, they would remain in Spirit Disruption at the start of the battle against his second form. – Fixed a bug that caused the Spirit Disruption of “Embodiment of Demonic Qi” to last longer. – Fixed a bug that could make it impossible for the player to proceed if they summoned the Divine Beast Yinglong right as they died. – Fixed a bug in which the magnitudes of special effects on emptied embedment slots would sometimes change when loading save data. – Fixed a bug that prevented embedment on locked equipment. – Fixed a bug that would sometimes provide fewer embedment slots than there should have been on battlefield clear rewards and accessories in the “Path of the Rising Dragon” difficulty level. – Fixed a bug that allowed users to sell equipment registered to favorites. – Fixed a bug that caused the effects of the special effect Set Bonus Requirement Mitigation to accumulate. – Fixed a bug that prevented players from being able to skip cutscenes upon using certain controls. – Fixed a bug that caused the number of arrows/projectiles in the player’s inventory to duplicate under certain conditions. – Fixed a bug that would sometimes make it impossible for the player to obtain some trophies/achievements.

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty stats explained: How to plan your best build Team NinjaWo Long: Fallen Dynasty allows for different best builds to create using the game’s upgrade point system – so let’s run through the game’s main stats, how they work, and see what you should prioritize in Wo Long. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, just like in any other major Souls game such as Elden Ring, encourages players to experiment to create a ‘best build’. A large number of factors will determine this such as how strong you are, how resilient you are, which elements you’re resistant to and much more. Finding and spending Genuine Qi is the way to upgrade the Five Phases that the game promotes so heavily, and each phase focuses on a different area of your characteristics. So without further ado, let’s run through Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s five elements to see what they do and what you should upgrade. Contents Best stats to level up in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – Wood Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – Fire Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – Earth Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – Metal Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – Water Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – Best stats to level up in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Across the five virtues in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, leveling up each one is always guaranteed to give you more health, but for the most health, Wood Phase offers the most considerable health boost. Not only that, but it also increases two primary stats and provides various other buffs and tiny nerfs. The Fire Phase is the main source for increasing your overall power levels for your weapons and earning more Spirit for attacking. Players will predominantly spend their upgrade points on these two areas, but let’s show you why the other phases are perfectly viable. Wood Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty If you want a lot of HP to be able to contend with tough bosses, then Wood Phase is most definitely going to be one of the main virtues you will need to pay particular attention to in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Not only that, but you become quite well-rounded in terms of your overall defense and tolerances, and some of the game’s best Wizardry abilities can be found in the Wood Phase tier too. Increases max HP – Increases Spirit Defense – Increases Spell Duration – Increases Wood Affinity – Increases Earth Resistance – Decreases Metal Resistance – Fire Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Fire Phase is best for those players who want a lot of points in their attacking stats to dish out more damage. If you’ve nailed the game’s deflection system and have some strong armor, then it only makes sense to optimize your damage output and quickly earn as much Spirit as possible during a battle. Investing in Fire Phase will also reduce the cost of Martial Arts skills, which are great to use at the end of a combo, and the powerful Flame Weapon Wizardry skill requires 12 virtue points to be accessible. Increases HP – Increases Spirit Gain Rate for Attacking – Decreases Spirit Consumption Rate for Martial Arts – Increases Fire Affinity – Increases Metal Resistance – Decreases Water Resistance – Earth Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Wo Long’s Earth Phase is best used for its ability to decrease your overall Max Equipment Weight, and this has a lot of significance. The heavier the armor you wear and your selected equipment as a whole, the more your mobility and Spirit will suffer – so try to keep this low. Additionally, another huge benefit to investing in Earth Phase is that it will make deflecting even more beneficial for you. Given that many bosses, such as Zhang Liang, require a ton of patience and deflecting to take down, this could be an area worth keeping an eye on. Increases HP – Increases Spirit Gain Rate for Deflecting – Increases Max Equipment Weight – Increases Earth Affinity – Increases Water Resistance – Decreases Wood Resistance – Metal Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty While Metal Phase is quite possibly the least-effective phase of the five, depending on your playstyle, it does have some top qualities such as the ability to reduce the cost of Wizardry spells. If using them more frequently is your game, then it would be wise to raise this virtue as soon as you can. Also, the Metal Phase will also help you to maintain your accumulated Spirit levels and stop them from plummeting so quickly, allowing you to store a bit of Spirit to launch stronger attacks at the right moment. Increases HP – Increases Spirit Stability – Decreases Spirit Consumption Rate for Wizardry Spells – Increases Metal Affinity – Increases Wood Resistance – Decreases Fire Resistance – Water Phase in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Outside of fierce combat, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty does place a certain amount of emphasis on stealth, and Water Phase will allow you to sneak up on enemies with a lot more stealth and finesse. As an added bonus, if you level up this area quite quickly, then you’ll have access to the Unseeable Form Wizardry ability that temporarily makes you invisible – an invaluable asset. As well as this, if you find yourself someone with less confidence in your deflecting and need to absorb a few hits, then you lose less Spirit for doing so if you upgrade the Water Phase. Increases HP – Increases Stealth – Decreases Spirit Consumption Rate for Deflect – Increases Water Affinity – Increases Fire Resistance – Decreases Earth Resistance – You should have a lot of knowledge about Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s various phases now and have a better idea of which stats you should concentrate on upgrading.

Players who own Xbox Games Pass will get Day One access to Team Ninja’s promising action adventure. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty demo A recent tweet on the game’s official Twitter account revealed that players will be able to go hands-on “in the near future”. While no timeframe was given, we’ll update this section once we know more. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty trailers Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty gameplay While the trailer didn’t dive into any full mission showcases, we did get an insight into the game’s combat. Team Ninja is responsible for bringing us the Ninja Gaiden and Nioh franchises, which focus heavily on swordsmanship and fast-paced dueling. This game seems to be taking a similar approach, albeit with an injection of fantasy and mythical beasts to defeat. Players can “overcome adversity through unique new strategies, including battle styles based on the “Five Phases.” The game will also feature a character creator and something the dev has described as a “new morale system”, alongside online multiplayer. Multiplayer works a lot like Nioh in that players will need to gather a certain item in order to summon allies into their game. In Wo Long, this is the Tiger Seal item that can be used to summon either an NPC ally or another player into the game world. Tiger Seals are scarce and should be used wisely. What is the game about? According to developers Team Ninja, the game will follow “a nameless militia soldier fighting for survival in a dark fantasy version of the Later Han Dynasty where demons plague the Three Kingdoms.” The game’s concept comes from Bloodborne producer Masaaki Yamagiwa and Nioh producer Fumihiko Yasuda. Wo Long is set in China during the era of the Three Kingdoms from 220 to 280 AD. The game is based on Luo Guanzhong’s 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, judging from the zombies and dragon spirits we’ve seen in the game, we imagine it’s going to be a very loose adaptation of that historical novel. Fans of Dynasty Warriors may also recognize the time period, as like many of those games, Wo Long is set during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in ancient China. However, like Nioh, we’re likely to see a supernatural twist to the tale. The game is reported to be around forty hours long, which is around how long each Nioh game was. A recent exclusive IGN video showed off some impressive gameplay that also had heavy Nioh vibes. It depicts a boss battle against Aoye, a giant bull creature from ancient Chinese mythology. In the video, the player dies multiple times, ensuring any concerns about Wo Long being too easy were unfounded. Wo Long Fallen Dynasty DLC https://twitter.com/WoLongOfficial/status/1662022751341912064?s=20 Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is also set to have a DLC very soon. The DLC is being called Battle of Zhongyuan and is set for release on June 29, 2023. This new DLC will feature new stages, difficulty levels, weapon type, and a lot more. This new DLC will make the game more welcoming for both new players as well as veterans alike. This concludes our guide for Wo Long Fallen Dynasty.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is Nioh so familiar Team NinjaWo Long: Fallen Dynasty is the next game from Team Ninja, here are our early impressions after spending several hours playing it. The first thing we noticed about Wo Long is its similarity to Team Ninja’s other Soulslike series, Nioh. Anyone who’s played either Nioh 1 or 2 will be instantly at home with the game. Indeed, so will anyone who’s spent significant time playing any Soulslike game, meaning Elden Ring fans will also find a lot to love here. Unlike Nioh, which is set in early 17th century Japan, Wo Long is set in China during the era of the Three Kingdoms from 220 to 280 AD. The game is based on Luo Guanzhong’s 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, judging from the zombies and dragon spirits we’ve seen in the game, we imagine it’s going to be a very loose adaptation of that historical novel. Frantic combat The combat is addictive, although it feels a bit frantic at first. However, once you’re used to the controls, you’ll soon find yourself dancing around the screen while you dodge and cut-down foes. Gameplay has a more arcade-like feel (just as Nioh did), so those used to the more methodical duals of Dark Souls or Elden Ring will need to take note. The big difference for us when playing on PS5 was that the main attack buttons are square and triangle instead of R1 or R2. This reminded us of the hack and slash games from the PS1 and PS2 eras and is an interesting decision. We felt a little bit thrown by it and were unable to change it in the controls menu. Of course, the shoulder buttons have other functions, but we imagine we won’t be alone in feeling slightly perplexed by this change. That’s if it makes it into the final build, and if it does, we’re sure there’s a good reason behind it. Agile Souls Our character felt much more acrobatic than they did in Nioh. Not only was combat faster, but our warrior could backflip and cartwheel out of danger easily, making things much more fast-paced. We could also double-jump and sprint into combat, making our character among the most agile we’ve seen in a Soulslike game. The moves reminded us of Steelrising, where Aegis could also bounce around the screen avoiding enemies. There’s also a stealth mechanic that we didn’t fully get to grips with in our playthrough, but this can be leveled to make the player harder to detect. This allows you to sneak up on enemies Tenchu style, but we were unable to pull off anything like a stealth kill, so we’re not sure how far the stealth system goes. It may just be a way to control aggro. On top of the various weapons at your disposal, there’s also elemental magic called ‘wizardry’ in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. This lets you spew flames and various other spells at your opponents before slashing at them while they recover. You can also combo these spells with other attacks, which can flatten even elite-level enemies when done right. It also looks like you can create some builds centered around these magical skills. We discovered a special move called Summon Divine Beast. This, as you can imagine, summons a Divine Beast like a dragon for a short time who will then lay waste to nearby enemies. Calling in the troops The setting will also feel familiar to Dynasty Warriors fans as the game takes place during the same period of history and conflict. The demo we played saw us battling members of the Yellow Turban army in a mountainside camp, although none of these guys were cannon fodder for a Musou attack. As with any Soulslike, any enemy can cut you down if you’re reckless, should a second enemy join the fray, then you’re in for a tough time. The game also features a coop mode, allowing you to summon others into your game to help you get from A to B or take down a tough boss. The system works a lot like Nioh, so fans of jolly cooperation can rejoice. While Wo Long doesn’t feature an easy mode, you can summon AI partners too to take the edge off. We summoned a level 20 badass who helped us get to the nearest boss, however, he was unsummoned when we got knocked off a ledge to our death. This summoning mechanic is bound to be used most by those who struggle with the difficulty of Soulslike games and is likely going to be controversial among purists. Although, like Elden Ring’s spirit summons, an AI partner is entirely optional. Wo Long gameplay mechanics Flagpoles replace Nioh’s shrines, which serve as checkpoints, a lot like bonfires or Sites of Grace in the Souls series. Here players can rest, level up, and tweak their skills and gear. Be warned though, using one also resets the area, resurrecting all previously fallen enemies. Loot is also plentiful and you’ll find yourself switching out to better (or cooler-looking) gear frequently. In our playthrough, we replaced our starting clothing with the Yellow Turban set, and again with some more powerful armor that made us tough enough to take down the demo’s boss. The boss was incredibly tough and even once we had reached level 20 it could still kill us in about 2-3 hits. However, our AI partner was a big help and we eventually felled this large beast. If this one boss was any indicator of Wo Long’s difficulty, then Soulslike veterans should be satisfied. We’re looking forward to seeing the final build of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty when it releases in 2023. The game should be considered the spiritual successor to the Nioh series, a fantasy Soulslike that uses a historical setting as a backdrop. The two IPs also share many similarities when it comes to gameplay.

Wizards of the Coast President resigns after 2 years WotCCynthia Williams, President of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Gaming, has filed to resign from her position at the company. Wizards of the Coast will soon need another President to steer them through a momentous year for the company, as current head Cynthia Williams has resigned. According to a United States Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Williams told Hasbro of her intent to resign on April 15, and she will remain in the position until the resignation takes effect on April 26. As part of the filing, Hasbro is said to be looking both internally and externally for a successor to her role, while no official statement on her departure has yet been made. Williams has been in the role of Wizards’ president for just over two years, beginning in February 2022 when predecessor Chris Cocks stepped up from WotC to become the CEO of Hasbro. Williams’ time in the role was a rocky one, marred by controversy while at the same time overseeing major successes for the company. Dungeons and Dragons has continued the unprecedented successes of its fifth edition, and the smash success release of Baldur’s Gate 3, while eventually capitulating over disastrous changes set to go into effect around the Open Game License. Meanwhile, MTG’s 30th-anniversary packs were received as a horrendous miscalculation in the company’s TCG pursuits, serving as overpriced proxies without any value for competitive play. It hasn’t all been grim for MTG under Williams’ watch, however, thanks to the ongoing revitalization of the Standard format in-person, as well as the astounding success of the Tales of Middle Earth set cementing Universes Beyond as an integral part of the game’s future releases. With Marvel and Final Fantasy crossover sets yet to come, whoever ends up as Williams’ successor will no doubt work to keep that momentum going. 2024 is set to be a crucial year for Wizards, with D&D’s 50th celebrations and MTG continuing to push into new territory with both premier sets and Universes Beyond Crossovers. Wizards will no doubt want to find a replacement for Williams with due haste, to ensure that the company’s flagship games stay on track.

Wizards of The Coast reveal new OGL draft release date amid fan frustration Wizards of The CoastDungeons and Dragons owners Wizards of The Coast have revealed their plans to release a new OGL draft, allowing fans the ability to comment directly on its content before it’s fully published, along with a direct apology for its previous OGL. After weeks of fan outrage, mass unsubscriptions, and intense backlash, Wizards of The Coast have released their “working conversation about the Open Game License” detailing a new approach, an apology, and the release date of their rewritten OGL draft. The original, leaked OGL 1.1 came with significant changes to Dungeons and Dragons, promoting more copyright rules, royalties, and overall limitations which fans quickly argued against. After that, WoTC explained the leak was only a draft and, along with an apology stated they had learned from their mistakes and were soon to be releasing an updated OGL 1.1, promoting transparency and community feedback as their primary focus. In a statement by the Executive Producer, Wizards of The Coast has revealed the release date for such a draft, along with a survey for the community to use when sharing their thoughts. WoTC reveal release date for new D&D OGL draft Revealed on DnD Beyond, and through the Dungeons & Dragons Twitter, Wizards of The Coast have announced the release date for their new Dungeons and Dragons Open Game License. The working conversation will be released “On or before Friday, January 20th” and will include a full proposed document along with a quick survey for the community to complete, allowing any feedback to be directly transferred to WoTC. The survey will be open for two weeks, allowing companies and fans to fully understand the updated 1.1 OGL before accepting the terms. Many players have responded kindly to the statement, with one remarking that the apology and steps forwards “sounds a lot better” going on to say they were “looking forward to the publication of [the] new working draft.” Others highlighted the company’s “transparency and openness to feedback,” exploring the speed in which WoTC tried to fix the controversial OGL 1.1. However, some fans are still not convinced, claiming that the apology and statement was “a Trojan Horse,” further discussing the distrust from fans that still remains. Ultimately, the fans and community behind Dungeons and Dragons will be the first to read and comment on the updated OGL when it is released. Whether it causes more unrest or solves the issues surrounding Dungeons and Dragons in 2023 is yet to be determined.

Wizards of the Coast forced to rework new D&D book amid AI artwork scandal Wizards of the CoastWizards of the Coast are in hot water with fans of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). The company released a statement following the recent discovery of AI art in its newest companion book. The rapid rise of AI in the last year has led to some surprising outcomes. When the World of Warcraft or Destiny 2 communities aren’t tricking it into believing in Glorbo, it’s being used to impersonate streamers. Now, AI art has found its way into the next D&D supplementary text Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants. Fans on Twitter noticed some tell-tale signs of artificiality in some of the book’s artwork a few days ago. Since the incident has blown up, parent company Wizards of the Coast addressed the issue via the D&D Beyond Twitter profile. The company said it had no knowledge that AI was used and has since updated its guidelines to prevent a similar situation in the future. Artist Ilya Shkipin confirmed in a since-deleted Tweet that they had used AI to “generate certain details or polish and editing”. They claimed that the images were not generated from scratch using AI as the sole means of creation. Their confirmation caused members of the D&D community to threaten boycotts and direct people toward other Tabletop Roleplaying Games. “Try other TTRPGs. Don’t give them money. Don’t buy this book. Refund if you did,” one user tweeted. Wizards of the Coast have clarified that it absolutely does not want AI used when creating future artwork for its products. “We are revising our process and updating our artist guidelines to make clear that artists must refrain from using AI art generation as part of their process,” it said. The artist responsible has since announced that Wizards of the Coast are collaborating with them to “rework” the art for the book. Fans responded that the gesture was a token one and requested the book be released for free. Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants releases on August 15 and it’s unclear whether these reworks will make it into the initial print in time. It’s possible that digital versions of the book will feature the reworked art. If you’ve ever wanted to give D&D a try but don’t know where to start, check out our guide on what you need and how to get a game going.

Wizards of the Coast assures new AI-focused job listing won’t impact MTG or D&D Wizards of the CoastWizards of the Coast have had to quell some AI-related drama after a job posting caught the attention of MTG and D&D players. Wizards of the Coast has landed itself in hot water again after an incident in August last year in which some AI-aided artwork found its way into the Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants companion book. In response, the D&D developer outlined new guidelines for art production in which it expressly banned artists from “using AI art generation as part of their process”. A recent job listing for a Principal AI Engineer has reignited the controversy. Fans of both Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering have expressed outrage at the posting for seemingly going back on the initial promise. Wizards of the Coast responded quickly to the backlash in order to quell the growing dissatisfaction. Releasing a statement to ComicBook.com, Wizards of the Coast reiterated “Our stance on AI hasn’t changed”. Responding to concerns from D&D and MTG players that the company intended to use AI art in materials for the two properties, Wizards of the Coast elaborated on the job listing. “This job description is for a role for future video game projects. You can reference our AI FAQ here,” a spokesperson explained. Despite the clarification, certain wording in the job description still appears to run contrary to the company’s proposed AI ban in relation to artwork. It requests someone who can “deploy systems for intelligent generation of text dialog, audio, art assets, NPC behaviors, and real-time bot frameworks”. Fans of the company’s products are not satisfied with the response claiming that the use of AI in general is a negative. “That’s also bad. We don’t want that either,” said one tabletop player in relation to the use of AI art in video game development. It’s a popular sentiment with other fans calling the company’s use of AI art in video games “just as bad” as any use for its tabletop and trading card products. Wizards of the Coast has yet to issue any follow-up statement.

Wizards of the Coast adds fuel to MTG Commander Masters fire again Wizards of the CoastMagic: The Gathering’s makers, Wizards of the Coast, have enraged fans of the game once again after claiming that Commander Masters isn’t a premium product. In a recent stream about the upcoming Commander Masters set Wizards of the Coast has added fuel to the fire surrounding its preconstructed decks. Fans are already unhappy regarding these decks, as the Land and mana base (the needed cards to complete actions) don’t match the price of $80 for one of the revealed decks. As we’ve previously explained, a lot of the cards are too “slow” for the Commander format, leaving the out-of-the-box experience a little bit of a slog. The latest issue now stems from a stream about Commander Masters directly from WOTC, where two staff members question when the product was dubbed a “premium” one. During the questions and answers section of the stream, someone in the Twitch chat asked: “What makes this a premium deck? Why isn’t there more love for the mana bases in these precons? “This isn’t a question about cost, this is a question about justification of calling something “Premium” without premium contents.” Blake Rasmussen responded with: “Can someone in chat flag to me where we called this premium? “I don’t know about that tag.” WOTC staff claim Commander Masters isn’t a premium set – despite prices saying otherwise Wizards of the Coast dropped the idea of MSRP from its MTG products with War of the Spark in 2019, leaving players in the hands of the market itself. On TCGPlayer, basic draft packs currently hold a price of $14.21, while the preconstructed decks are currently priced at: $180.24 for Eldrazi Unbound – $139.83 for Sliver Swarm – $79.04 for Planeswalker Party – $72.44 for Enduring Enchantments – It should be noted that MTG booster packs usually cost $3.99 for a non-premium set, but previous Masters sets have seen prices in-store retail for around $10-$15. Fans have taken to Reddit to express their concern that Wizards of the Coast don’t see Commander Masters as a “premium” product. This is despite it using the “Masters” branding, reserved for special release sets, as well as allowing the charging of roughly double the regular price for some decks. One user pointed out that Wizards is currently selling these decks to retailers at $60, immediately making them a premium product in comparison to other wholesale prices. Another comment suggests that WOTC labeling the Commander Masters decks as “ultimate power right out of the box” insinuates premium too. Further in the discussion, it seems the designer’s comments on avoiding unnecessary tap lands have caused more controversy: “Did they wear a clown outfit while saying that?” Magic: The Gathering’s Commander Masters launches August 4, 2023, and brings with it a slew of important and expensive reprints, along with four new preconstructed decks.

Wizards of the Coast apologizes for “offensive” D&D Hadozee content: “We failed you” Wizards of the CoastPublisher Wizards of the Coast has apologized to fans for the inclusion of offensive material surrounding the Hadozee D&D race. Wizards of the Coast, the popular card game and role-playing game publisher, drew fire after offensive D&D material surfaced online. The material was part of the recent Spelljammer: Adventure in Space set, surrounding the Hadozee race within the game. Now, Wizards of the Coast has issued an apology to fans for the inclusion of the material and promised to remove the material from digital versions and future reprints of the set. Wizards of the Coast’s apology The apology comes by way of the official Dungeons & Dragons website through a post called “Statement on the Hadozee.” The blog post opens by saying “We wanted to acknowledge and own the inclusion of offensive material within our recent Spelljammer: Adventures in Space content. We failed you, our players, and our fans, and we are truly sorry.” The post goes on to explain the issue of the Hadozee race, which has been included in D&D since 1982. The statement explained that “Regrettably, not all portions of the content relating to the Hadozee were properly vetted before appearing in our most recent release.” The original lore for the Hadozee race, as previously written by Wizards of the Coast, said that a wizard commanding a fleet of Spelljammers arrived on the Hadozee homeworld called Yazir, captured Hadozee ancestors, and experimented on them with a magical elixir. The wizard’s elixir caused them to grow larger, stand upright, and become self-aware as the wizard intended to raise an army of enhanced Hadozee and sell them into slavery. The Hadozee eventually rebelled with the help of the wizard’s apprentices and became the modern Hadozee race. Is it okay for me to call the Dragon game racist now? Because the Hadozee are fucking atrocious and the fact that this was released is unconscionable. pic.twitter.com/1hY2K25fGR — 🧙🏿♂️Nightskin GM Kendo💀 (@KendoMakesFilms) August 30, 2022 TW: Racism, Minstrel Shows — katie mae 🧃 #death2divinity (@okkatiemae) August 30, 2022 The first Hadozee depicted is *literally* in a famous minstrel pose. I will thread images if you’re unfamiliar. (White) DMs, players, please take this as a moment to evaluate the relationship your games have with colonialist voyeurism. https://t.co/Yf8kJe7NTW After community outcry citing real-world parallels, Wizards of the Coast issued their apology and said “As we continue to learn and grow through every situation, we recognize that to live our values, we have to do better.” Of course, not all D&D fans found the Hadozee’s backstory problematic and claimed that removing and revising their origin was uncalled for. They’re apologizing for using an old TSR alien race because their backstory is that they were primate-type creatures who were enslaved at one point in their history and therefore racism…? https://t.co/0jYgLmYjwf — Noam Blum (@neontaster) September 3, 2022 Had no idea what this was about so I looked it up. How does anyone see this and jump to “racism”? This feels exactly like the Satanic Panic of the 80s. 🧠🪱🪱 pic.twitter.com/98B6Yju1Yv — Tsukkomi (@ljenkins314) September 3, 2022 Regardless, it seems as though Wizards of the Coast won’t be reversing course moving forward with the Hadozee race in Dungeons and Dragons.

Witchfire: Gameplay, trailers, platforms, & everything we know The AstronautsWitchfire is a gothic first-person fantasy shooter featuring magical enemies and lots of guns. Here’s everything we know so far. After originally being announced way back at The Game Awards in 2017, Witchfire did what so many games have done before and disappeared without a trace. However, the fantasy FPS rose from the dead during Summer Game Fest 2022 and showed off some more gameplay. The game seems to be getting closer to its final form and fans of the Doom of Wolfenstein series may find a lot to love about Witchfire. Here’s everything we know in one place. Contents Does Witchfire have a release date? – Witchfire gameplay – Witchfire trailers – Witchfire platforms – The Preyer short story – Does Witchfire have a release date? Currently, there is no revealed release date for Witchfire yet. In a Q&A on The Astronauts official website, the devs discussed when we can expect Witchfire to drop and they said: “We’re aiming for Q4 2022. But we will not release, not even in Early Access, until we’re happy with what we have. You only have one chance to make the first impression and we respect your time and money. But again, currently the goal is the same as it was when we first mentioned it, which is Q4 2022.” From the outset, it’s not entirely clear if this means they’re targeting a Q4 release for the game’s early access, or the full release. We’ll update this page once we know more. Witchfire gameplay Witchfire is a first-person shooter blending traditional shooting elements with the backdrop of a fantasy game. Its original teaser reminded us a lot of Wolfenstein and similar games. As the game was announced several years ago, Witchfire’s gameplay doesn’t seem to have changed between its 2017 reveal and 2022 reemergence. The goal is to find some big guns and blow mystical enemies to pieces. As well as Wolfenstein, the game also borrows from the likes of Bioshock and Dishonored by allowing players to cast magical energy with their free hand. Gunplay looks frantic and intense and has immediate arena-shooter vibes similar to DOOM and Shadow Warrior 3. Witchfire trailers The first Witchfire teaser appeared in 2017 at The Game Awards and gave a brief insight into the game’s stylings and genre: Fast-forward five years later and Witchfire was back looking shinier, more explosive, and with an extra coat of polish. Check it out below: Witchfire platforms Witchfire will be made available on PC, with it being restricted to Epic Games during early access. However, the devs have confirmed that Witchfire will be coming to other platforms. It’s unclear which platforms though, but it’s almost a given that games are being made now with the PS5 and Xbox Series X in mind. Development presumably started on last-gen hardware, so there’s a good chance that Witchfire will get a release on more platforms. The Preyer short story While first-person-shooter fans wait for news about Witchfire, the team behind the upcoming game have now released a short horror story called The Preyer. The horror story was written by Adrian Chmielarz, The Astronauts co-founder & artistic director, and expands on the lore and world of Witchfire. It also includes illustrations from artist, Bernard Kowalczuk using a similar style to the game itself. The Preyer can be found here on The Astronauts website and should provide those interested in Witchfire a dark window into the game’s world, characters, and lore. Witchfire is shaping up to be an exciting FPS game and there are also many other games coming out too: The Elder Scrolls 6 | GTA 6 | Overwatch 2 | Assassin’s Creed Infinity | Wolverine | Spider-Man 2 | Forspoken | KOTR Remake | Wonder Woman | DokeV | FFXVI | Avatar Frontiers of Pandora | Sonic Frontiers | Dragon Age 4 | Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild sequel | The Witcher 3 next-gen patch | God of War Ragnarok | The Last of Us Part 1 Remake

Multiplayer Witcher game could be in development at new CDPR studio A job listing for a Multiplayer Designer role hints that one of CD Projekt RED’s studios could be hard at work on an online Witcher game. The production team in question, The Flame in the Flood developer The Molasses Flood, joined the CDPR family in October 2021. Of course, neither company could divulge what project The Molasses Flood would begin work on first. However, the Boston-based crew did tease plans to produce a new experience in the universe of an existing CDPR property. The expansion of The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 universes constitute the only possibilities since CD Projekt RED doesn’t own any other existing IP. A Witcher multiplayer game may be in production CD Projekt RED currently has a job opening for a Lead Multiplayer Designer (via Game Rant), a role that will help support The Molasses Flood as it develops an “ambitious” new project “based on one of CD Projekt’s IPs.” In other areas of the job posting, CDPR notes the ideal applicant will possess an interest in combat, in-game economies, and “systems-heavy action” titles. That these efforts will result in a Witcher-centric multiplayer game is speculative for the time being. Yet, the studio previously mentioned a desire to implement multiplayer functionality into the Witcher series. CD Projekt RED’s President and Joint-CEO Adam Kiciński told investors during a November 2021 Q&A that both Witcher and Cyberpunk would “gradually” receive online functionality. If an online-focused Witcher experience is in the works, it joins a couple of other games in the fantastical universe. CDPR also has another GWENT title in production, along with a fourth mainline Witcher game.

Witcher 3 dev confirms next game is first in a brand-new saga CD Projekt RedDuring an earnings call, CD Projekt Red confirmed its next Witcher game will mark the start of a new saga for the series. The Polish studio formally announced it had begun work on a new Witcher title this past spring. Apart from news that Unreal Engine 5 will power the project, few details surfaced from the reveal. But a teaser image depicting a Lynx Medallion suggests a Witcher School that spawned from popular fanfiction may take center stage. And it now seems CD Projekt Red’s Witcher universe will continue to expand beyond whatever comes next. The next Witcher game is the start of something greater During CD Projekt Red‘s latest earnings call, an investor asked President and Joint CEO Adam Kiciński to clarify comments about a “new Witcher saga.” In his response, the executive noted that CDPR is already considering plans to produce multiple titles in the monster-filled universe. “We said that there’ll be a new saga. Now we are pre-producing the first game of this saga. But we have in mind more than one. The first saga [featured] three games, so now we are thinking about more than one game…” Talk about CD Projekt Red’s future plans for its mainline Witcher series begins around the 50:20 timestamp in the following video: Given the Witcher franchise’s unwavering popularity in recent years, this news seemed all but confirmed prior to Kiciński’s comment. Still, it’s nice to have confirmation that the next Witcher game is unlikely to count as the last. During the earnings call, the company also reiterated that The Witcher 3’s long-awaited new-gen update remains on track for a late 2022 release. The studio continues to withhold details about a specific due date, however. With Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty DLC slated for 2023, information on the next Witcher game will likely remain under wraps for quite a while.

5 things CD Projekt Red should do with the next Witcher game cd projekt redA new Witcher game is in development, but to succeed it will need to be different than previous chapters. Here are five things CD Projekt Red should do with the next Witcher game. After the Witcher 3, it’s surreal to now think that a sequel is on the way. It’s incredibly exciting, but after the troubled launch of CyberPunk 2077 and a long absence, many fans are likely to be nervous about what’s next for The Witcher. The sands have shifted since Geralt’s last outing, and even though Wild Hunt is still celebrated today, open-world games have continued to evolve. To succeed, the next title will need to take some bold new steps, as simply making another Witcher 3 won’t cut it. There’s also new hardware to consider and the fact that the most recent game in the series was positioned as a conclusion. We’re likely to see a new beginning rather than a sequel for the sake of a sequel, but if the success of the franchise is to carry on, there are a few things that need to happen. 1. A new playable character The Witcher 3 felt like the last hurrah for the ever-popular Geralt of Rivia, with the character settling down with Triss or Yennifer (or neither) at his vineyard, while taking on an occasional monster-hunting contract. There was an air of finality to Geralt’s story, regardless of the ending we saw. This made many assume that another Witcher game would never happen. However, in 2015 CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kicinski said, “We work within this universe for over a dozen years now and I don’t think it’s going to be the end of it,” meaning there was always hope. Now that it’s happening, throwing Geralt back into the mix could feel like a betrayal of this ending, or to some, turning the series into a cash cow with an unnecessary sequel. Fortunately, the prospect of a new game has many fans hyped, the franchise is bigger than ever, and the world is ready for it. Though, if we’re to respect what’s come before, Geralt should probably sit this one out, at least for the most part. While we fully expect Geralt to play some role, this time the titular ‘Witcher’ could refer to his protege and adopted daughter Ciri. A Witcher in her own right, Ciri was the secondary playable character in the previous title and the focus of Geralt’s quest. We could see the new Witcher game flipping this dynamic, giving the player control of Ciri on a mission to save, or find, Geralt. Could Ciri be the playable character? Ciri is a fan favorite and having her set out on a quest to find her mentor could conveniently explain Geralt’s absence, allowing her to take center stage in the next game. By the end of The Witcher 3, she is much more than just a Witcher and is closer to being a superhero. Therefore, it’s expected the character would need to be nerfed significantly to tone down her overpowered nature. To achieve this, some catastrophe could befall her – something that could also connect to Geralt’s hypothetical disappearance. Ciri would then need to rely on her skills and Witcher training, rather than her powers. It would be fun to regain her powers one by one and use them in combat. That could really differentiate the new Witcher game from previous entries. CD Projekt Red writer Jakub Szamalek has also expressed interest in using Ciri as the main playable character. In a 2020 interview with VG247, Szamalek expressed regret that Ciri didn’t have a bigger role in the Witcher 3, then saying, “But hey, maybe it’s something we’ll get back to in the future.” Create your own Witcher It could also go down the ‘create your own protagonist’ route. Think Skyrim, Fallout, or Elden Ring. If Ciri or Geralt are training a new generation of Witchers, then the protagonist could essentially be an avatar of the player. This would open up the option to build your own Witcher, focusing on the skills you want. That way, you could create an all-rounder like Geralt, or a build who fights primarily with magic and potions. Or why not be a ranged Witcher who only reaches for their silver sword to strike the killing blow on a monster? More customization options would be a big boost in terms of replayability and appeal to more play styles. 2. A compelling antagonist The threat of the Wild Hunt loomed over the Witcher 3. Not only was it a race against time to find Ciri before these spooky wraith-like creeps did, but their very nature and intentions were also shrouded in mystery until the end. The plot twist revealing who (or what) they really were somehow only made them scarier, more fearsome, and even somewhat sympathetic – if not tragic. The next game will need to feature an antagonist that matches them, creating a threat level and intrigue. It also can’t be some two-dimensional ‘evil for evil’s sake’ villain either. Whoever we’re up against in the next Witcher game needs to tug on the heartstrings, and taking them down needs to be something that makes fans feel both relief and guilt. There needs to be repercussions to their defeat, but even more for failure. How about multiple antagonists or factions to side with? Joining one could make an enemy of the other. It could simply be down to the player to decide who’s the lesser evil – and there always needs to be a cost to our decision, like in previous installments. Read More: The Witcher 3 next-gen Netflix DLC – A future antagonist could be a new invading army. One that threatens the uneasy peace that has now fallen over the land, or a dark supernatural force. There are multiple enemies still alive in the games to choose from, or the series could look to the books for inspiration. Characters like Gaunter O’Dimm could be out for revenge against Geralt and Ciri. He’s essentially the Devil of the Witcher universe, so defeating him is not only difficult, it could come with unknown consequences. Do entities like Gaunter need to exist, even with their unsavory plots? The character is still around after all, and let’s not forget the threat he made to Geralt upon his defeat. In an unknown language, Gaunter tells Geralt, “You are primitive. You think you’ve defeated me but you are wrong. I can’t be killed, I will be back.” This haunting line also implies that defeat by mortals is nothing more than a mild inconvenience to Gaunter. 3. Difficult moral choices What makes this series so well suited to the medium of gaming is the tough, morally gray choices the player often needs to make. There’s never an objectively ‘good’ or ‘bad’ choice, it’s usually based on what you think as the player, and other players may disagree profoundly. For example, in The Witcher 3, you’ll need to rescue a group of children from some cannibalistic witches. A powerful tree spirit offers to help you, but to do so, you will need to release him from his prison. If you do, he shall keep his word and help you rescue the captive children, but he’ll also then massacre a nearby town full of people in retribution for his imprisonment. Read More: New Witcher game officially confirmed – Without the spirit’s help, the witches will kill the children, so you’re essentially choosing between them and the town. Most games would give you a way to save everyone, but not The Witcher. So whatever path you pick, you’ll always be wondering if you did the right thing. This system needs to come back and CD Projekt Red should double down on it. These agonizing choices also need to influence the world and its population’s perception of you over time. While this will inevitably lead to some doors being closed in your face, others will be open elsewhere as a result, contributing to a more immersive world. 4. Learn from Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring Games like Zelda Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring (largely) did away with traditional waypoints and the ‘go here, do that’ approach to open-world game design. While The Witcher 3 was a far cry from games like, well, Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed in terms of waypoint placement, the next entry could benefit from a more minimalistic approach. When exploring a new region of the world, an emphasis should be placed on exploration over linear missions. The Witcher 3 was one of the biggest and best open worlds ever built, but there was room for improvement when it came to discovery. The developers should just drop players into the world and let them forge their own path. This could be achieved by having several towns near the beginning point, each offering various low-level quests to get you started. Having multiple hub areas, rather than just one, in the early hours of the game will mean no two players’ experiences will be the same. 5. Satisfying and varied combat While there was nothing especially wrong with The Witcher 3’s combat, it will need to be shaken up if the next game is to differentiate itself from its predecessor – incorporating new mechanics, weapons, and styles of play. Witchers usually fight with two swords: A silver one for monsters and an iron one for humans. This makes play tactical and varied, but with the introduction of new Witcher schools, such as the school of the Lynx, there is a golden opportunity to explore new styles of monster slaying. For example, what if the player used silver arrows, rapiers, or large broadswords to take down kikimoras? Geralt’s traditional fighting style will need to be readily available, but it’s time to see new ways to battle your way through the journey. Combat needs more heft in order to be satisfying. So that’s everything we know so far about the next Witcher game.

Witcher 4 devs explain how Unreal Engine 5 switch will impact the game CDPR / Epic GamesCD Projekt Red explained how they plan to use Unreal Engine 5 as they build the next saga in their acclaimed franchise’s next entry, The Witcher 4. Not much is known about the upcoming installment, but CDPR are looking to release a landmark project in the series, seeing as it coulddepart from Geralt’s story into entirely unknown territory. While mystery continues to shroud the project, the Polish studio is prepared to build the game on Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5. Fans are excited to see the kind of world the devs build for next-gen systems, considering the size of previous titles. CDPR CTO & Head of Production Paweł Zawodny revealed more on how the engine will help the team make Witcher 4 in a tech overview overview for UE5. The team has been putting the engine to the test and have high hopes for its impact on making the presumably large world of TW4. “It was the shift towards open world support that brought Unreal Engine 5 to our attention,” Zawodny said. The video showed how tools in the program can quickly create expansive terrains that can later be built on. Moreover, the scale at which UE5 can operate will let teams focus on patching any issues that may come with building a world that big for players to freely explore. Soak in more information on why @CDPROJEKTRED has chosen to use #UE5 to build new open-world games, including a new saga for The Witcher! 😻 pic.twitter.com/IVKFKljwf7 — Unreal Engine (@UnrealEngine) April 5, 2022 “The possibilities of the things that can go wrong or the scenarios that you have to consider are exponentially higher than linear games,” CD Projekt Red Game Director Jason Slama said. “To really encapsulate that, you need a really stable environment where you can be able to make changes with a high level of confidence that it’s not going to break 1600 places down the line.” Before making the switch, the company had used different versions of its own REDengine that’s powered its blockbuster titles since The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Now UE5 will have a major title to show off its capabilities while CDPR bet on Epic’s engine to have a smooth development and eventual launch of The Witcher 4.

The Witcher 3 PS5 & Xbox Series X|S release date leaked by UK retailer CD Projekt RedA UK retailer has leaked the release date of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s long-awaited PS5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrades. Developer CD Projekt Red initially planned to launch The Witcher 3’s next-gen update in 2021, with Saber Interactive helming the project. Earlier this year, however, CDPR announced Saber’s removal from the endeavor, placing The Witcher 3’s enhanced experience in the hands of an in-house team. A firm launch date presently remains under lock and key. But studio President and Joint CEO Adam Kiciński noted in a September earnings call that the patch remains on track for a late 2022 rollout. Leak narrows down Witcher 3’s PS5 and Xbox Series release date A Reddit user who claims to work at GAME in the UK recently posted a photo of an update to the retailer’s database. Notably, the listings have The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S penciled in for Friday, December 9, 2022. The Redditor has since deleted their original post, yet Game Infinitus managed to capture the following screenshot. As the supposed GAME employee noted, the December 9 listing could constitute little more than a placeholder release date for The Witcher 3’s PS5 and Xbox Series versions. It does fall on a Friday, though – a weekday that attracts many high-profile game launches. Either way, CD Projekt Red will have to share more concrete details sooner rather than later, given Kiciński’s aforementioned assurances. Such news will come at an opportune time for the Polish studio, too. CD Projekt Red recently confirmed that a new Witcher trilogy is in the works, along with two other Witcher-branded projects. One such title will come in the form of a “full-fledged game” from an external team. Meanwhile, the second adventure – developed by The Molasses Flood – should offer a multiplayer and single-player experience.

Witcher 3 writer hints at Ciri as main character of future game CD Projekt RedCD Projekt Red Writer Jakub Szamałek has hinted towards Ciri playing a big role in future games of the popular ‘The Witcher’ franchise. While Geralt of Rivia’s story seems to have come to its end following The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, many have been eager to find out more about Ciri’s storyline. Although having limited screen time in the third game (because the story revolved around her being missing), Ciri is the only other playable character in the game and quickly became a fan-favorite for her importance in the series. Following the fifth anniversary of The Witcher 3 on May 19, CD Projekt Red writer, Jakub Szamałek, revealed some details about the process of the award-winning title and even hinted towards the future of the popular character, in an interview with VG247. After being asked about the possibility of Ciri acting as the lead character in some of the upcoming Witcher games, the writer responded by asking a question in return, “Interesting question… Would you like to play a game with Ciri as a lead character? However, when later asked if there was anything he regretted about 2015’s game of the year, Jakub revealed that they had not delved into Ciri’s storyline as much as he would’ve liked. “I regret we didn’t get to explore Ciri’s past a bit more. She’s such an amazingly rich and complex character, due to obvious reasons – well, she’s pretty much gone for two-thirds of the game,” he explained. He continued on, even hinting that while they did not get the chance to show more in the Witcher 3, the Lady of Time and Space could play a major role in an upcoming title. “She didn’t get quite as much screen time as we writers would have liked. But hey, maybe it’s something we’ll get to get back to in the future.” he added. While little is known about what’s in store for the future of the Witcher games, CD Projekt Red has at least confirmed that they will be developing a new title after the release of Cyberpunk 2077.

Witcher 3 devs give modders developer powers to create quests, cutscenes & more CD Projekt REDCD Projekt RED, the developers of Witcher 3 have announced that REDKit is free to download for all players on PC. This allows unrestricted reign to modders as they can now become developers of the game. Witcher 3 is widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time. The story, gameplay, DLC content, environmental design, music, and almost everything else is top-notch. It is the title that made CD Projekt RED one of the biggest names in the developer market. After nine years since its release, the developers are not done yet. CD Projekt RED is allowing free access to REDKit to everyone who owns the game on PC. REDKit has been developed by CD Projekt RED and Yigsoft and features tools the developers have used to create the game. As a modder, you can create cutscenes, develop your quests, make changes to the environment, alter enemies, change the terrain, and so much more. As a player, you can download the mods and play them without any restrictions. The REDkit can be downloaded from Steam, GOG, or Epic Games Store directly. If you want to learn about the REDkit, you can do so from the official website. Additionally, the developers have released a YouTube video with a quick tutorial on REDkit. Finally, this REDkit update also includes support for Steam Workshop and DLC-style mods. CD Projekt RED has been quite sincere when it comes to taking care of Witcher 3. Ever since its release, they have updated the game with bug fixes, two massive DLCs, and a graphical next-gen overhaul. However, the introduction to REDkit is the biggest of them all. Up until now, fans had to rely on the handful of mods they could find in Nexus Mods forums. However, most of those mods are UI changes, a few visual tweaks, and controller support. None of those mods have the scope that you can find in games like Skyrim, Fallout, or Starfield. REDkit makes sure that Witcher 3 gains similar heights when it comes to creativity and even more.

How to get more Wishstones in Lies of P Neowiz Games, Round 8 StudioWishstones in Lies of P are a smaller but integral part of combat. They offer diversity and more importantly, can turn the tide in a boss battle. Today, we’ll give a quick explainer of how you can get more. To make Pinocchio as powerful as possible in Lies of P, you’ll need to embrace all aspects of gameplay. Whether it’s upgrading your weapon’s handle, having the right Legion Arm, or choosing the perfect Grindstone. Lies of P presents players with a ton of depth. However, one element that can become lost somewhat is the game’s Wishstone mechanic. While not as prominent or prevalent as other tools, it has a real purpose. So without further ado, let’s quickly run through the ways to better use Wishstones, as well as how to get more. Where to get more Wishstones in Lies of P There are two ways to procure more Wishstones in Lies of P – obtain a free one from Giangio, or buy multiple Wishstones from him. When you first encounter Giangio early on, he will give you your first Wishstone which, when activated, will replenish your health temporarily. Naturally, you will use it before long, and unlike your Grindstone and Pulse Cells, it will not reset upon death. Instead, you’ll need to speak to him to restock your one free Wishtone. You will need to do this every time as well. However, as you progress through the game, it will actually become possible to hold more than one at any given time. Eventually, you’ll unlock the ability to obtain Gold Coin Fruit. This resource can used in a number of ways, but it can also be used to buy Wishstones from Giangio – who’s located in a room directly opposite the Gold Coin Fruit tree. How to hold more than one Wishstone in Lies of P In Lies of P, you can hold more than Wishstone, and to do this, you will need to keep spending Quartz on your P-Organs abilities until you unlock the ability to equip more than one Wishstone. Acquire the skill, and you’ll be able to use multiple Wishstones on your travels. Obviously, this will be extremely helpful in specific situations e.g. bosses. That’s a deep look at Wishstones and how they work. We hope this helps you, and for more content, check out our other Lies of P articles: How long is Lies of P?
