  • Apex Legends players can’t unsee this spicy Charge Rifle skin – Dexerto

    Apex Legends players can’t unsee this spicy Charge Rifle skin Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends player noticed that a Charge Rifle skin in the battle pass a little more than vaguely resembles something else entirely, and players are having a hard time unseeing it. Cosmetic items are a huge part of Apex Legends. Players are willing to drop hundreds of dollars on decking out their favorite Legends and weapons, and there are a ton of skins to choose from. That said, not all skins are created equal. Collection events and battle passes are often themed around the very best (and most expensive) skins in the game, with other recolors and smaller cosmetics sprinkled in to give players more to work toward. However, an Apex Legends player noticed that a skin for the Charge Rifle on the Season 16 battle pass was a bit of a hidden surprise, with it bearing a striking resemblance to something that normally wouldn’t be used as a weapon. Apex Legends skin accidentally evokes spicy imagery Rare skins aren’t usually the talk of the town when it comes to Apex Legends. They tend to fill out the battle pass and give players enough rewards to work towards to fill out an 100-level pass like the one for Season 16. Players are often pining for legendary skins with flashy new look for their favorite weapons. But there are some cases where an epic or even rare skin rises to the occasion and does something innovative with the base model. This isn’t one of those cases. Apex Legends players can’t unsee the horrors of this Charge Rifle skin from the battle pass, and it’s hard to say whether or not its appearance was intentional. The rather fleshy appearance of this Charge Rifle’s barrel paired with the unseen depths that lie within its dark void has certainly started a conversation in the Apex Legends community. A conversation that isn’t exactly safe for work. On the bright side, this skin has gotten more attention than many of the legendary skins in the game. For players who like the way it looks, it’s got great bang for your buck value.

  • Apex Legends players can’t believe most popular legends in Season 20 – Dexerto

    Apex Legends players can’t believe most popular legends in Season 20 Electronic ArtsApex Legends players have been taken aback by the popularity and pick rates of certain legends ahead of Season 21, especially Lifeline, who is now inside the top five. Over the last five years, Apex Legends has seen the meta change quite a bit – especially as Respawn has nerfed and changed the abilities of different legends, and even added new ones into the mix. There have always been some legends that have been more popular than others, even after they’ve been changed. However, in Season 20, some of these have slipped well away. Valkyrie, Seer, and Gibraltar once all dominated the meta, but their pick rates have fallen to between 2-1%. One character that has benefited, however, has been Lifeline. The combat medic has continually been buffed over the last few updates and has now risen into the top five most-used characters in Apex. That has confused some players, however, with one asking: “When did Lifeline get into top five for pick rate? Also, you know it’s bad when Ash is higher than Valk, lol.” Some fans quickly suggested that the medic has risen up the ranks as players try to pull off flashy revives and have “OP’ abilities. “I’d argue the gold plated care package is also OP because it’s a guaranteed gold knockdown shield, gold bag, and evo cache if you get yourself to purple,” one argued. Others, though, just believe she’s fairly balanced. “I think it’s because her care package can drop those eco harvesters. It’s so useful,” one said. “Lifeline since tweaks about 4 plus seasons ago has never objectively been a bad legend. This doesn’t surprise me,” another added. Focusing on other characters, some players said that Newcastle – who has a 0.9% pick rate, the lowest of the lot – is “criminally underrated” and should get some more love. Others stated that Mirage “feels too low” and should pick back up. With Season 21 getting underway in May, Respawn will very likely make changes to the current roster of legends again. So, things will likely be shaken up before long.

  • Apex Legends Mirage is getting a hidden buff disguised as ‘bug fix’ – Dexerto

    Apex Legends Mirage is getting a hidden buff disguised as ‘bug fix’ Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends’ bamboozling Holographic Trickster, Mirage, is one of the game’s characters to receive a buff in the upcoming Fight Night Collection Event. But, the developers are simply calling it a bug fix instead, meaning he was meant to have this buff all along. While far from an overpowered character in Apex Legends, it’s fair to say that Mirage is not high on the list of Legends that need an urgent buff. We have seen players devise creative buffs for Mirage in the past, like proposing the ability for enemies to mistakenly try and ‘finish’ his holographic decoys. None of them have been borne out so far, though, with Respawn likely cautious of making him too strong in Apex’s current meta. However, the release of detailed Fight Night Collection Event patch notes means we know what we can expect when the update drops on January 5. Among other things, Respawn have confirmed that the patch will feature a number of Legend-specific bug fixes. One of these relates to Mirage, and the ability (or lack thereof) of his decoys to make audible footstep sounds. Many thought this was an intentional choice on the part of the developers, being used as a balancing factor and a clear indication of which Mirage was a decoy, and which was the real thing. However, it has been made clear that it’s a bug fix, and Mirage’s decoys will now make audible footstep sounds, adding another layer of distraction to his arsenal. Enemies will no longer be able to hear footsteps and identify the real Mirage. Other bugs related to Wraith’s portal being unintentionally destroyed by the Trident, and Horizon’s abilities being unable to affect Lifeline’s DOC or Crypto drone. Barring any last-minute delays, the Fight Night Event will drop in Apex Legends on Tuesday, January 5. You can check out the full patch notes here.

  • Apex Legends player sets record as first to reach new level cap of 2000 – Dexerto

    Apex Legends player sets record as first to reach new level cap of 2000 Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends player just set the record as the first in the world to reach level 2,000, mere months after Respawn Entertainment upped the level cap. In last year’s Season 14 update in August, the devs decided to update the level cap after years of no changes, bumping it from 500 to 2,000. Now, it essentially operates as getting 500 levels, four times over. Respawn added three more tiers of 500 levels on top of the existing 500 levels many players already gained in the first few years. So each time a player reaches the next tier, they gain a new badge that shows what tier they are on, much like Call of Duty’s famous prestiging system. And in just half a year, Swiss Apex Streamer Ayakaschi has smashed the record of being the first to hit this new cap. The most impressive part is this is not the first time he has gotten a world first in EA’s hit battle royale. In an enthusiastic Twitch stream, he officially became the world’s first level 2,000 player with a smile on his face while finishing off the last squad in the final circle. He then proceeded to shout in excitement for the next minute. Ayakaschi is no stranger to being a record breaker in Apex. In seasons 1 and 2, he was the first player to gain the highest level possible, which was 100 at the time, and held the record for the most games played across both seasons. In the same stretch of time, he also held the record for the most wins as a trio and solo queue player. Later still, in Season 14 he held the record for most wins on all platforms, with a jaw-dropping 3,112 wins recorded. Which coincidentally is the world record for most wins in one season. And of course, now he holds another record as the first player to ever hit the game’s new level cap of 2,000 in Season 15. Not only that, but this streamer is even famous for holding records in other games too. He was the world’s first in getting to level 1,000 in Zombie Mode on Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Similarly, he holds the world record in Rogue Company for the highest win streak, with an incredible 155 wins in a row. Clearly, Ayakaschi is one of the hungriest grinders on the planet and just raised the bar once again in Apex.

  • Apex Legends player discovers insane underwater hiding spot on Storm Point – Dexerto

    Apex Legends player discovers insane underwater hiding spot on Storm Point Respawn EntertainmentAn unbelievable hiding spot on Storm Point is letting Apex Legends players channel their inner ninja by letting them vanish under the game’s vast bodies of water. Storm Point has a ton of crazy hiding spots for players to use and abuse. While a few of them — like the hidden room inside the walls of Antenna — are already being patched out, the Apex community has wasted no time finding new replacements. Those previous spots were serious enough problems on their own, but this new addition to the roster might be the worst one yet, as it allows players to vanish into thin air and still shoot at opposing squads. Insane Apex Legends hiding spot makes players nearly invisible The spot in question is in the waters between The Mill and Cascade Falls, close to the southern rock wall of Checkpoint. Entering into a specific patch of the river will not only partially obscure your character model, but also remove the water from your field of view entirely. This allows players to watch the movements of their enemies without ever giving themselves away. From this spot, it’s possible to shield up, shoot back, or just take a breather as the inevitable hunt rages on in the surrounding area. Kamiyo confirmed that enemies can still see anyone hiding in this spot, they simply have to be looking extra hard to find them: “The enemies can still see you, you are just under the surface of the water because you duck down.” One player was ready to put the trick to use right away but was scared of any potential repercussions: “This is Nutts, can you get banned for doing this in ranked? Asking for a friend.” Respawn has been increasing anti-cheat measures in the game as of late, but given that this is the result of a visual bug when crouching under the water, it’s unlikely to get anyone banned.

  • Apex Legends February 1 update patch notes: PC configs disabled, Three Strikes fix, more – Dexerto

    Apex Legends February 1 update patch notes: PC configs disabled, Three Strikes fix, more Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends released a new update on February 1, 2024, that disables certain PC configs, adds bug fixes, and much more. Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment made waves in the community when they assured fans that they would be taking major steps to rebalance movement in the battle royale. This would come via a patch that would disable the ability to set up configs for controller and mouse and keyboard, essentially disabling configs for advanced movement tech. Now, Respawn has released a patch that takes the first major step in this new balance shift. Here’s everything players can expect from the February 1, 2024 patch. Apex Legends February 1 patch notes Here are the full February 1, 2024, patch notes for Apex Legends: The Final Ring will now close when playing Three Strikes matches on Storm Point – You can no longer chain cfg files via the +exec command during game time – Ash’s Common and Rare skins are once again available for players to use – Wattson’s ult will no longer regenerate shields through walls – Water textures on Kings Canyon and World’s Edge will no longer flicker or look distorted on PS5 – Loadouts in Control now give you the correct weapons – The biggest change in these patch notes is undoubtedly the adjustments made to +exec commands. For those who may be unfamiliar with the term, the ability to chain cfg files essentially allowed players to set up configs to easily execute complex movements like auto strafing, superglides, and much more. This update came right after developer Respawn assured fans the team would be rolling out updates to disable the ability to chain cfg files and controller configs. Next, the patch included a fix for the Final Ring during Three Strikes matches played on Storm Point. Ash players can also use Common and Rare skins again. Wattson’s Ultimate ability will no longer regen shields through walls and water textures on King’s Canyon and World’s Edge will no longer glitch out on PS5. Finally, those playing Control through the Mixtape playlist will find that loadouts now give players the correct weapons.

  • Apex Legends glitch leaves players stuck in Lifeline’s giant inflatable booty – Dexerto

    Apex Legends glitch leaves players stuck in Lifeline’s giant inflatable booty Apex LegendsA variety of modifications were made to every Apex Legends map to commemorate the game’s 4-year anniversary, but some players discovered that the giant inflatable legends around the map are just as lethal as their in-game counterparts. Apex Legends was a smash hit when it launched, with the free-to-play battle royale becoming one of the most popular games in its genre. The title also managed to hold on to and grow that playerbase over the past few years. To celebrate Apex Legends’ 4 year anniversary, Respawn made some map modifications and got players in on the festivities. The ships flying overhead have been criticized by players for sounding a bit too close to a player respawning, but the giant inflatable legends perched around the map are generally harmless. Or, at least, that’s what most players thought. As it turns out, it’s possible for players to get stuck inside these giant inflatable legends if they’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. Apex Legends glitch traps players inside Lifeline’s inflatable booty Now that support legends can craft players’ banners and bring them back into the game in Apex Legends Season 16, there are more clutch scenarios than ever for players who are able to sneak around for long enough to bring their teammates back into the game. That said, spawning your dead teammates into one of the game’s last circles is an incredibly risky move. It’s rare that players can spawn in the middle of a warzone and come out on top with just the loot they’re able to find on the ground, but not impossible. However, a few Apex Legends players had their hopes dashed when the location in which they respawned landed them in a very unfortunate predicament. Their ship was level with the inflatable Lifeline, leaving them on a collision course with the festive balloon. However, instead of bouncing off of it or dying immediately upon coming out of the dropship, they got stuck where the sun doesn’t shine. These poor players were rubber banding in and out of there, and any attempt at escape was futile. The chances of getting respawned directly inside of one of these celebratory decorations is certainly slim, but as shown above it’s not impossible. Be careful where you place your mobile respawn beacon while the event is still going on; you never know where your teammates could end up getting stuck.

  • Apex Legends fans want Xbox top-ranked player banned after boosting – Dexerto

    Apex Legends fans want Xbox top-ranked player banned after boosting Apex Legends players exposed the tenth-ranked Xbox player for boosting and demand the developers take action by banning them. In early January, Chris Bruzzo, EA Chief Officer, claimed banning cheaters is at the top of the Apex team’s priority list. Bruzzo spoke about cheating being an especially worrying issue for competitive games, assuring fans of changes coming soon. On January 17, Respawn unveiled a new skill-based system to ” rapidly improve” match quality. The new system puts players in an even match rather than just a general skill bracket. Three days later, the developers issued another statement, running a test on smurf detection and matchmaking on true skill. Despite efforts to cut down on boosting and smurfing, cheaters are still finding ways to slip through the cracks. Apex Legends players demand punishment for cheaters earning underserved ranks. Apex Legends players expose top ranked cheater Boosting has been an issue in Apex Legends for a long time, and the issue is hard to crack down on. Players intentionally lose or allow themselves to be killed so another user can climb the ranks and gain RP. An Apex Legends player revealed footage of a group of nine cheaters boosting, including the tenth-ranked Xbox Predator Tier member. One player responded, “imagine being so talentless you have to cheat in an online video game.” A second user offered a solution by suggesting, “I’ve said it before, and ill say it again, remove mobile respawn from the crafter rotation, pretty much solves the problem, people will still attempt it, but without a consistent way to get mobile respawn beacons it won’t be effective.” The mobile respawn beacon allows players to revive teammates on them, making it easier for teams to boost with each other. Community members couldn’t wrap their heads around players wanting to boost. A third commenter asked, “Do people actually find this fun? If I were to do this, sure, I’d be one of the highest-ranked players in the world, but my conscience would be able to accept it because it wasn’t legit.” Apex Legends players hope the developers continue to make strides in cutting down on the game’s boosting problem.

  • Apex Legends devs Respawn Entertainment making new game set in “unique universe” – Dexerto

    Apex Legends devs Respawn Entertainment making new game set in “unique universe” Respawn Entertainment / Pexels, Ian BeckleyRespawn Entertainment, the studio behind hit multiplayer FPS Apex Legends, is working on a new title. Apparently, the devs are producing a single-player adventure game set in a “unique universe.” According to a recent string of new job listings, highlighted by Creative Director Mohammad Alavi, the good people at Respawn Entertainment have something brewing. While it’s not the news Titanfall fans were hoping for, it is intriguing nonetheless. Respawn are best known for the Titanfall franchise, the critically acclaimed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and multiplayer experiences like Apex, which are rooted in the studio’s history with Call of Duty. This new title is therefore a different direction, at least in some ways. Carrying the legacy of Titanfall’s unique backdrop and single-player campaigns, the untitled new IP is slated to be an adventure game without multiplayer offerings. Alavi is the first person tied to the project, as he tweeted about it with some job listings. We’re developing a brand new singleplayer adventure from Respawn Entertainment. We’re a small, but ambitious team with a history of dreaming big and making splashes. Come work with us:https://t.co/UCeYwarI6khttps://t.co/Qeonc5IzfGhttps://t.co/rKxhtgXFiUhttps://t.co/rNaI4zoq0J pic.twitter.com/g0zgQVUS4D — Badmofo | Mohammad Alavi (@iambadmofo) July 22, 2021 As Alavi explains, his team is all about “dreaming big and making splashes.” That vibe is intrinsically tied into the game’s descriptions, as the job openings describe the game in similar fashion. Most notably, the listing describes the game as “a designer’s dream playground with a freedom to innovate made possible by the unique universe it inhabits.” Further details in the listings emphasize that the dev team is all about “a ‘fun comes first’ sensibility in a design process that allows creativity and new ideas to shine.” Apex Legends, the most popular of Respawn’s current offerings, is beloved by its fans for the diversity of its characters and environments — which shape a unique playing experience. If that’s anything to work off of, then people should be intrigued by what “unique universe” means to this kind of studio. At the moment, this project is “in its early stages,” so details are scarce. But, like eager fans of Respawn titles everywhere, we will stay on the lookout and provide updates when they become available.

  • Apex Legends devs Respawn reveal they’re working on a brand-new IP – Dexerto

    Apex Legends devs Respawn reveal they’re working on a brand-new IP Respawn/EAApex Legends developers Respawn Entertainment have revealed that they’re working on a new IP, with some fans thinking it might be different to the “adventure forever” title that was teased in early 2021. Respawn Entertainment have developed a handful of games now, stretching back to Titanfall, Titanfall 2, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Each game they’ve released has received some acclaim but Apex has, undoubtedly, been the most successful game from their back catalog with over 100 million players diving in for at least one game. Off the back of Apex’s success, a new IP that would let players “adventure forever” was teased, and while we’ve not heard any more about that since, the devs are working on a new IP. Respawn programmer Steven Kah Hien Wong revealed on Twitter that a small team is working on the new IP and they’re looking for another member to join them, a coder. Read More: Apex Legends Arenas: Everything we know – “Want to get in early and help build a new IP from scratch? We’re a team of *5* right now looking for our 6th (a coder)!” he posted, with a link to Respawn’s careers page attached. Vince Zampella, the head of Respawn Entertainment, chimed in as well. “Looking for an exciting new opportunity? New Respawn project, super exciting stuff. Get in early!” he said. Of course, these tweets prompted some wild speculation from fans. Looking for an exciting new opportunity? New Respawn project, super exciting stuff. Get in early! https://t.co/48UOhXhq7e — Vince Zampella (@VinceZampella) April 23, 2021 Some fans quickly gravitated towards Titanfall 3, while others asked if it was going to be a Star Wars-related title. Others suggested something completely different: “Is this for the Call of Duty/Battlefield killer we’ve been waiting for?”

  • Apex Legends devs announce new Star Wars FPS game – Dexerto

    Apex Legends devs announce new Star Wars FPS game Respawn EntertainmentEA have announced that Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment are working on an assortment of new Star Wars titles, including a long-awaited first-person shooter set in a galaxy far, far away. Respawn are no strangers to the world of Star Wars, having created 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on top of their flagship hits such as Apex Legends and the Titanfall series. On January 25, 2022, EA announced that as well as a brand new iteration in the Star Wars Jedi series, Game Director Peter Hirschmann is leading the development of an as-yet-unnamed Star Wars FPS. Hirschmann previously worked on the likes of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, as well as the original Battlefront and Battlefront 2. Hirschmann said: “Working with Lucasfilm Games on a new FPS in the Star Wars galaxy is a dream come true for me, as this is a story I have always wanted to tell.” “We are huge fans of Star Wars here at Respawn and we’re thrilled to work with Lucasfilm Games on new titles that we have wanted to make for years,” said Vince Zampella, head of Respawn. “If you want to make great Star Wars games, you should come join us on our journey.” On top of the FPS and a new Star Wars Jedi game, the third title is a Star Wars strategy game developed through a production collaboration with the newly formed studio Bit Reactor. Respawn will produce the new Star Wars strategy game while Bit Reactor leads on the development of the title. It’s still early days in the development cycle, and a potential release date, or details on Respawn’s Star Wars FPS, remain a mystery.

  • AOC doubles down on removing military recruitment from Twitch – Dexerto

    AOC doubles down on removing military recruitment from Twitch US Army Esprts / Flickr, @nrkbeta[jwplayer 91I9RIGm] After earlier condemnations of the US military’s recruitment practices on Twitch, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reiterated her opposition with an amendment to a federal defense spending bill that was passed by voice vote. The H.R. 7617 Department of Defense Appropriations Act dictates US military spending for 2021 and Ocasio-Cortez has produced an amendment, No. 49, to ensure that said budget does not contribute to recruitment on Twitch and similar platforms. This amendment, which is in line with the Marine Corps official position on recruitment and more general protections of the 1st amendment and underage recruitment guidelines, was passed via voice vote but will be officially tallied once the House reconvenes. [Update: AOC’s amendment was shot down 292-126.] . @AOC’s full comments on her amendment to prevent the US Military from using funds to recruit teens on Twitch. pic.twitter.com/4XPJM8ZH6G — Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) July 30, 2020 AOC’s original response was elicited by the surfacing of the US Army Esports channel’s presence on Twitch with questionable practices of recruiting underage gamers and simultaneously bans of anyone who asked about war crimes. While the former bypasses recruitment guidelines and the latter contradicts the right to free speech, AOC’s newest point of emphasis ties into the Marine Corps’ ideological position on gaming. While Army Esports went from generating 3,500 recruitment leads in 2019 to over 13,000 so far in 2020, the Marine Corps, despite having the youngest force of all branches, has proclaimed that it is ideologically opposed to recruitment via gaming: “The brand and issues associated with combat are too serious to be ‘gamified’ in a responsible manner.” Ocasio-Cortez’s amendment, despite being approved by voice vote on the floor, is not unanimous and its “yeas and nays” were ordered (designating the need for an official vote) by Congressman Ken Calvert, who also ceded some of his time to the bill’s original author, Congressman Peter Visclovsky, for response against AOC. In his rebuttal, Visclovsky agreed that he does “find recent media reports on the army esports team and the banning of commentators concerning” and that oversight is needed to ensure that the military’s Twitch channels, which have been set for 18-year-old audiences and older since August 2019, do not bypass age restrictions. He also noted that “Army Esports has taken a pause on streaming and is reviewing its internal policies and procedures” and that “we on the committee certainly look forward to seeing the results of that review.” There’s a reason the Marines don’t recruit on e-games: we should never be building a connection between virtual reality and the very real consequences of war. I will support AOC’s amendment this evening. https://t.co/RgqsGZpAPM — Rep. Ro Khanna (@RepRoKhanna) July 30, 2020 While many had noted the Army Esports channel’s streaming pause, it was not known until now that it coincides with an internal review process. Chief among the practices deserving review are the usage of nebulous prized contests that seem to simply lead to recruitment information sign-ups for kids as young as 13 and the banning of Twitch users who ask controversial questions about the American military’s history. Congressmen and women, like California’s Ro Khanna, have been adamant in their support of AOC’s amendment following her exposure of an issue gamers brought to light. Khanna, specifically, reiterated the Marine Corps’ insistence that gaming is an uncomfortable foundation upon which to ground recruitment efforts, as the fun of shooting games and their impressionable, young audiences blend together in a way that detracts from the gravity of warfare. Young people always ask how to effect change. Thanks @MattxRed for reminding us. You sent me this tweet, we checked out @AOC’s amendment, and I’m glad to support it! And happy birthday @JordanUhl pic.twitter.com/6OBx1hGoyT — Ted Deutch (@RepTedDeutch) July 30, 2020 As AOC expanded upon in her own speech, “we should restrain and restrict ourselves from explicit recruitment tactics … on platforms that children are using to play games from Animal Crossing to Call of Duty.” Twitch embodies the rise of emerging technology and the vote on AOC’s amendment demonstrates welcomed attentiveness to a concerned, growing gaming community.

  • Apex Legends and Fortnite dominate Warzone on Twitch as streamers switch games – Dexerto

    Apex Legends and Fortnite dominate Warzone on Twitch as streamers switch games Epic Games / Activision / RespawnWarzone continued to fall behind in the Twitch rankings in August 2021, with battle royale titles Apex Legends and Fortnite dominating the charts as streamers switch games. Call of Duty: Warzone has long been touted as the most popular battle royale out there, and while there are still plenty of gamers dropping into Verdansk every day, August’s Twitch figures suggest its popularity with viewers is falling. According to data from SullyGnome, Warzone ranked at number 8 on the list of most-watched games across Twitch in August 2021, with a total of 59 million hours watched and just over 2.5 million hours streamed. Those are still huge numbers, of course, but it’s quite a big fall from July, where the Warzone category raked in 71 million hours watched. A month before that, in June, it received 84 million hours watched. Apex Legends continued to climb the Twitch ranks in August, placing 4th overall with 91 million hours watched and 4.5 million hours streamed. With a new Emergence update and loads of streamers making the switch to Apex, it’s easy to see why it’s rising. Fortnite had a massive month, too, placing 5th with 74 million hours watched and 4.6 million hours streamed. These figures were likely boosted by the Rift Tour live event, which featured a concert from none other than pop superstar Ariana Grande. As expected, the top viewed category in August was Just Chatting (242 million hours), with GTA Online coming in second (140 million hours) thanks to GTA RP, and the always-popular League of Legends ranking third (133 million hours). Warzone’s ranking has clearly been impacted by big-name streamers like NICKMERCS and TimTheTatman making the switch to Apex – partly because of Warzone’s big problem with hackers – and many of them have seen their viewers increase as a result. It’s not like August was a quiet month for Warzone, either. As well as the launch of Season 5 update, a big in-game event called the Battle of Verdansk teased players with the big reveal of the next major Call of Duty title, Vanguard. Only time will tell if Warzone can reclaim its crown in the future, or if Apex Legends will continue to prove itself the ultimate battle royale with Twitch viewers.

  • Anthem will take a surprising approach to matchmaking – Dexerto

    Anthem will take a surprising approach to matchmaking Electronic ArtsUpcoming BioWare title Anthem is set to go above and beyond by involving matchmaking in all of the game’s activities, it has been announced. More information is being progressively revealed about the futuristic online multiplayer as we approach its February 22 release date, and one of the project’s lead producers Ben Irving has been filling gamers in with some more big news on Twitter. Unlike Destiny, where many of its most rewarding activities don’t have the option for matchmaking, BioWare’s upcoming title will have matchmaking set as default for all of its online content, Irving explains. There is matchmaking for every activity in the game https://t.co/D32Ty8YCQ8 — Ben Irving (@BenIrvo) January 13, 2019 Fans have been treated to several gameplay streams so far, some of which have been hosted by Irving, giving us a taste of what’s to come from the third-person shooter. While the producer states that matchmaking is going to be a default option for players, you will still be given the chance to opt out of that at any time. Match making by default, you can opt out.

  • Anthem is reportedly crashing and bricking PS4 consoles – Dexerto

    Anthem is reportedly crashing and bricking PS4 consoles EA’s blockbuster release Anthem has had a difficult to start to life after middling reviews from critics and fans alike, and it seems things will get worse before they get better, as players who bought the game on PlayStation 4 are complaining about numerous game crashes – with some claiming the title has bricked their console. Anthem officially released on Friday, February 22, with a number of complaints pouring in as fans discussed the final build of the game, which many believe is unfinished. On Sunday, March 3, players on Reddit began to complain about the biggest issue in Anthem yet, as a number of major crashes began to affect those attempting to play the game, with some even complaining that the game had ‘bricked’ their consoles. The first post came from a Reddit user named /u/forthemasters, who complained that Anthem was the only game that caused his PS4 to turn off entirely when the it crashed. In those comments, another user called /u/TheMadTitanGuantlet mentioned that the game had caused their console to shut down entirely and was unable to restart the console since then, posting on Reddit to warn players that this was a possibility. A number of players have claimed that they have been forced to unplug their console to get it to start again, while others state that simply using the power button to reset the PS4 was enough to restart the console. EA have asked Anthem players to send them information regarding the game’s crashes, in the hopes that they will be able to address the issues in the near future. Some players have reported that Sony will gave players who have suffered from these problems on the console a refund for Anthem if they ask, however this has yet to be confirmed by Sony themselves.

  • Anthem: Where to find treasure chests and collectibles for Trial of Yvenia – Dexerto

    Anthem: Where to find treasure chests and collectibles for Trial of Yvenia Following Anthem’s release on February 22, players are now faced with completing the Challenges of the Legionnaires – which includes the Trial of Yvenia. In order to complete this trial and open the Tomb of Yvenia in Freeplay mode, players will need to open 15 treasure chests and pick up 10 collectibles. We’ve gathered a slew of resources for players looking to complete the Trial, including a map (courtesy of Reddit user ‘ayerun’) of the required treasure chests and a handy guide to find all 10 collectibles. https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/artt2s/chest_farm_route/Treasure Chests While the map (pictured above) doesn’t contain all the treasure chests available for the Trial, it is important to note that chest spawns in Anthem appear to be random – but players are sure to come across the ones listed as they go along. The chests in question can be found as players explore the Fort Tarsis region in Freeplay. While only 15 are needed, ‘ayerun’ provided an extensive list of multiple chests, which comes in handy considering the game’s chest spawn system. Additionally, it’s important to note that chests yield better loot on higher difficulties, meaning that players who are looking to get the best of the game’s goodies might try playing on a higher setting. However, Bioware has since closed the loophole allowing players to unlock Masterwork and Legendary items in Freeplay, forcing players to scoop the items in the Grandmaster levels. Collectibles For players looking to bag 10 collectibles for the Trial, YouTuber Gaming with Abyss has provided a handy, visual guide. It’s possible to pick up 10 collectibles by just exploring the world in Freeplay, but it might take awhile to track enough down. With this guide, you can get it done as quickly as possible. For a detailed list on the collectibles’ locations see below: Ha Ha! Danger – The first collectible is in a ruined building just past a broken bridge, in a campsite with a broken chair. – Outlaw Poetry – This collectible is a sheaf of paper, placed on top a crate past a waterfall. – Outlaw Ranting – A book hidden in the Cave of Sharper, which will be full of bones with Strider waiting outside. – Friend of the Wild – This collectible is found in the Moonpod Lagoon, tucked away in a beast’s skeleton underneath a bridge. – New Customer – A paper, sitting on top of a crate in a campsite at the Cave of Sharper. – Change of Plan – This paper can be spotted in the cave entrance at Tarsis Bypass, behind the arch of a broken wall. – Regulator Store Sale Flyer – This flyer can be found near the ‘Change of Plan’ collectible, on top of a crate. – Thank You, Governor – Further down in the cave, this collectible is hidden underneath a waterfall ahead of a Sentinel Camp near the Tomb of Yvenia. – Dear Governor – This collectible is also under the same waterfall. – Most Esteemed Governor – Also under the waterfall. –

  • Anthem players aren’t happy with the VIP demo server issues [UPDATE] – Dexerto

    Anthem players aren’t happy with the VIP demo server issues [UPDATE] UPDATE – January 25, 2019 (4:10pm PST) After the initial launch of the Anthem VIP demo was plagued with a multitude of server issues and outages, PC and PlayStation 4 users should be happy to hear that the main problem has indeed been solved. A fix for Xbox One issues is still on the way. You can read the full statement from EA and BioWare below: “The main issue impacting the Anthem VIP demo on PC and PS4 has been resolved. Anyone who has had an issue on those platforms should restart the game and attempt to join again. Our team is still working on fixes for some of the issues we’re seeing on Xbox One.” While many players have been looking forward to the release of Anthem, they have been met with a massive amount of technical difficulties that has resulted in much frustration. Anthem doesn’t officially release until February 22, but the VIP demo went live on January 25, giving players a chance to get a taste of the game ahead of its launch. Well, that was the plan, at least. Since the demo has gone live, however, players have been faced with a ton of problems preventing them from playing the game at all. We’re adding more server capacity to the #Anthem demo right now. Hang tight while we work to get everyone into the game. — EA Help (@EAHelp) January 25, 2019 Despite EA stating that they were looking into beefing up the servers, many players are still unable to log in to the game even hours after the above Tweet was posted. Unsurprisingly, many players flooded Twitter with various complaints about the problems, most notably the fact that EA gave out a large number of free access codes ahead of the demo’s release. The VIP demo was supposed to be only for those who pre-ordered or subscribed to EA’s service.

Was just starting to get in a groove with my load out too. — Gothalion (@Gothalion) January 25, 2019 Some players have even gone so far as cancelling their pre-orders out of fear that these server issues will linger into the game’s official release and ruin the experience altogether. #Anthem order = officially #cancelled after being unable to get into the #AnthemVIPDEMO for over two hours! If it can’t get fixed in two hours, I sadly don’t think it’s going to be fixed anytime soon… pic.twitter.com/ZJbzKuReE1 — (@Kriegstina) January 25, 2019 To the lucky few that did manage to somehow get in, things weren’t much better. Popular Overwatch content creator Stylosa managed to find his way into the game for a brief moment, but he was met with a pretty hilarious (and terrifying) glitch. The faces of Anthem :joyful::joyful::joyful: pic.twitter.com/RluCyvojhU — Stylosa (@Stylosa) January 25, 2019 At the time of writing, Anthem is sitting just behind Fortnite on Twitch with 170,000 viewers total. That number has crossed the 300,000 mark at one point before the server issues drove many away. The current VIP demo runs until January 27, with an open beta expected to go live on February 1.

  • Another potential Bully 2 hint discovered as speculation increases – Dexerto

    Another potential Bully 2 hint discovered as speculation increases Rockstar GamesThere has been growing speculation surrounding a potential sequel to Rockstar Games’ 2006 ‘Bully’, including the suggestion there would be a shock E3 announcement, to a Polygon employee trolling us all with a URL code, and now another hint has been found. The original Bully was released nearly 13 years ago, to widespread critical acclaim – despite some controversy over its title and in-game content. The game was even banned in Brazil, and received a different title of ‘Canis Canem Edit’ in some world regions. One eagle-eyed Reddit user noticed that IGN’s UK page for a potential Bully 2 received a slight change on August 1, which has excited a number of community members, as Rockstar’s next project remains unclear. The page, simply titled Bully 2, has long been present on IGN’s website, collating their related articles. Details of the game itself are obviously unknown, unclear, such as the game’s developer and publisher both listed as ‘N/A’, while the release date and platforms are ‘TBA’. However, one aspect of the page was apparently updated on August 1. The section referring to the game’s age rating was changed from ‘TBA’, to ‘RP+T’. According to IGN’s page on ESRB ratings “this rating denotes that content in this game has not been fully evaluated but will likely not be appropriate for children.” As the fan explains, “Yesterday IGN updated Bully 2 page holder! The only change i found is the Rating of the game from TBA to Rated “RP-T+”. While this certainly does not mean that Bully 2 is on the way, it begs the question why the page is being updated, and whether a rating is on its way – as the change could indicate. Fans are expecting an announcement soon, and some think there may even be one on Sunday, August 4, coinciding with a GTA V Casino picture, which some think refers to the date 8/4. However, this is completely unconfirmed, and the original Reddit post has since been deleted, so it looks like we’ll just have to wait and see. Rockstar’s most recent release was Red Dead Redemption 2, which dropped in October 2018, and was quickly hailed as one of the best games of the year. Speculation has also surrounded a sixth instalment in the Grand Theft Auto series, as it has been six years since GTA V released. A remastered version of GTA V for PS4 and Xbox One dropped in late 2014. The game has received a significant amount of DLC since then, but a sixth instalment in the famed franchise remains unconfirmed, despite the continued community interest in GTA V Online. As Rockstar’s next game becomes clearer, you can keep updated right here on Dexerto.

  • Another Activision Blizzard employee files sexual harassment lawsuit against the company – Dexerto

    Another Activision Blizzard employee files sexual harassment lawsuit against the company Activision BlizzardIn a new lawsuit filed on October 7, an Activision Blizzard employee has alleged that the company did not prevent sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace. The company has been hit with multiple sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuits since it was sued by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing in July of 2021. Another suit, led by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was settled in 2021 for an $18 million sum. These lawsuits and other employees coming forward about their time at the company has led to multiple employee walkouts and calls for CEO Bobby Kotick to resign. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2021 that the company and Kotick that the company has received about 700 reports of concern from employees around sexual assault, harassment and misconduct. Now, a new allegation against Activision Blizzard has come forward. New sexual assault allegations against Activision Blizzard As first reported by the Daily Mail, the lawsuit was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court and alleges repeated sexual harassment and advances from an Activision Blizzard manager, Miguel Vega. The employee that filed the suit, identified as Jane Doe in the filing, is represented by Lisa Bloom who said her firm, The Bloom Firm, is representing eight other employees with similar claims against Activision Blizzard. The filing details Doe’s interactions with Vega beginning in 2009. Vega allegedly helped Doe get work as a contractor for Activision Blizzard and she was later hired as a community engagement manager in 2020 according to the lawsuit. The suit alleges that Doe was groped by Vega and that he repeatedly tried to kiss her, both acts that were unwelcome. Vega also threatened to release “compromising photos” of Doe that she sent to him soon after they first met. She says their romantic relationship ended in 2011 in the suit. Doe reported Vega’s attempt at revenge porn to Activision Blizzard management and the manager was fired soon after, according to the lawsuit. “We take all employee concerns seriously. When the plaintiff reported her concerns, we immediately opened an investigation, and Mr. Vega was terminated within 10 days. We have no tolerance for this kind of misconduct,” the company said in a statement to Dexerto. This story is ongoing.

  • Anime artist accuses Sony of selling her art on PS4 without permission – Dexerto

    Anime artist accuses Sony of selling her art on PS4 without permission Sony/Twitter: liah0227A popular Czech anime artist, who goes by the online name ‘liah0227’, has claimed that Sony are selling their artwork without permission on PS4, where it is listed as being owned by a different company. In a March 14 tweet, Liah claimed that PlayStation creators Sony are selling a piece of her art on the Playstation Store, without her consent or permission. The product itself is instead credited to Kingdom Media LLC, who Liah explains she has had no contact with, nor Sony. The listing is on the PlayStation Store under the name ‘Anime School Girl Avatar’, and is being sold for $0.99. Read More: KEEMSTAR responds after being sued for $3.5m – “So Sony is selling my art on their playstation store and has it owned by Kingdom Media LLC?” she said. “I was never reached out regarding this by Sony or Kingdom Media LLC.” She also explained that it was actually one of her followers that made her aware of the incident, rather than any of the companies involved approaching her for permission. So @Sony is selling my art on their playstation store and has it owned by Kingdom Media LLC? I was never reached out regarding this by Sony or Kingdom Media LLC, instead by coincidence one of my followers brought it to my attention..#digitalart #artistsunite #PS4 #copyright pic.twitter.com/UevqEnp1Cz — Liah (@liah0227) March 14, 2020 In a series of follow up tweets, the artist explained that she has since reached out to Sony in order to solve the situation. However, the company has since stopped replying. “I already contacted Sony to resolve this on good terms,” she said, “keeping a good intention in my mind but after some emails back and forth they didn’t help me and stopped replying to me. I’m hoping I can bring some attention this way and they can take down the art from their store.” She continued: “I don’t think I can sue them, I understood that I needed to have my art registered for copyright in order to take this to court which is not the case.” Thank you all for your support! It means a lot to me❤️ I hope Sony can take this down soon. I don’t think I can sue them, I understood that I needed to have my art registered for copyright in order to take this to court which is not the case. — Liah (@liah0227) March 14, 2020 She concluded by explaining that she never even considered copyrighting her work, as she never thought her work would be taken without permission. Regardless, it remains her intellectual property, meaning she likely has a legal claim over its commercial use. There has been no public response from Sony, with the communication between the company and Liah not available. Her original tweet has received a huge amount of attention, sitting at over 1,800 retweets at the time of writing, helping spread the word.

  • Was an announcement for Bully 2 just leaked? [UPDATED] – Dexerto

    Was an announcement for Bully 2 just leaked? [UPDATED] Rockstar GamesVideo games website Polygon might have accidentally leaked news of an upcoming Bully 2 announcement by accidentally forgetting to change an article’s URL. It’s been a long 13 years since the original Bully came out, and fans have been eagerly waiting for any scrap of news on a sequel ever since. Prayers could be answered soon though, according to video games website Polygon, who may have just accidentally leaked the time frame for an upcoming Bully 2 announcement. Polygon may have accidentally leaked Bully 2 In an article titled ‘Bully fans think they’ve found secret news of a sequel’ where Polygon talked about the recent sequel tease in GTA Online, the site accidentally left in a massive piece of information regarding the game’s potential future announcement. Instead of the URL relating to the title of the piece, it reads “bully-sequel-announced-fall-2020-news-embargoed-do-not-publish” – a huge oversight if it’s not a troll. If Polygon did accidentally just leak Bully 2’s announcement time frame, fans will be waiting until Fall 2020 to hear any official news on the sequel. It’s a long time to wait, but if true, it’ll no doubt be worth it. Rumors and previous ‘leaks’ hint at the game being set at Jimmy’s step-dad’s house instead of at Bullworth Academy, while also interacting with the nearby town and summer camp – similar to the original game. Is the leak real? Developer Rockstar Games has admitted to wanting to make Bully 2 in the past, but instead focused on working on Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. Now that they’re both out of the way, the idea of the company developing the sequel isn’t so far-fetched and could mean that Polygon’s leak is actually true. As with all rumors and leaks, take it with a grain of salt as nothing is ever concrete until an official source comments on it. We’ll keep you updated with any further Bully 2 developments as they happen. UPDATE 9:36PM PST July 28: The article’s author, Owen S. Good, commented further on his choice for the URL, stating: “Well, I am dining on one tasty plate of crow right now. That was a joke/troll URL. Yes it was a dumb idea. I was the only one involved in its creation (i.e. nobody else here laughed and said go for it). We’re changing it. Oh hell yeah I regret this. Not worth it and won’t do it again.”

  • Animal Well players complete 50-person puzzle just one day after launch – Dexerto

    Animal Well players complete 50-person puzzle just one day after launch BigModeThe Animal Well community has solved one of the game’s most mysterious puzzles with incredible coordination. Puzzles are truly the name of the game, and most of them offer little to no hints on how to find them, or even solve. Still, it didn’t take long for a group of Animal Well players to find a massive, secret puzzle that required coordinating with 50 other people. Even more, it didn’t take much longer for them to solve it either. Note that the following contains Animal Well spoilers. Animal Well is comprised of “layers” of puzzles with new layers unlocked as you solve previous ones. The first layer is hunting down flames to roll the credits, but after this, players are sent on an egg hunt. After this comes the third layer of puzzles, which is where this 50-person challenge comes into play. At some point, players will go by a giant mural of a rabbit hopping, which seems unassuming at first. This area can be found early in the game, though you won’t be able to unlock the puzzle until later. Some fans were able to figure out that using the Remote would cause part of the room to explode, revealing a control panel. This allows you to control which four colors to assign to a box on the mural. They also discovered that using the Top revealed a hidden passage leading to a 4×4 mural with white dots on each side. However, players soon realized their 4×4 murals were different and that the white dots corresponded with another 4×4 mural. The realization that these smaller images could attach to make a larger one caused a massive effort in the Animal Well Discord. User CruM was able to gather 50 players’ 4x4s and piece them together to create a larger image: a bunny sitting among flowers. Putting this image into the larger one using the control panel unlocked access to Secret Bunny #1, the first of many collectibles that make up this third tier of puzzle-solving. At this time, it is unknown what collecting all the Bunnies will do; might unlock even more mysteries to solve. Regardless, it is obvious that the Animal Well community is committed to finding every single secret contained within the game.

  • Animal Well: How to get Firecrackers & beat the first enemy – Dexerto

    Animal Well: How to get Firecrackers & beat the first enemy BigmodeAnimal Well doesn’t tell you much, including how to find Firecrackers to defeat your first enemy. The game needs you to find Firecrackers to defeat the game’s first enemy right after the first Telephone (save point). So if you want to save some time in figuring out where these can be found when starting Animal Well, we’ve got you covered. How to get Firecrackers When you enter the room with the blue ghost to the right of the Telephone, hop onto the ledge right in front of you. Then, quickly jump up and to the left to reach the ledge above you. Be sure to avoid the blue ghost while doing this. You can tempt the enemy to come at you by moving under it and moving out of the way to dodge, giving you more time to escape. Jump across the platforms here to the next room, then wait for the moving platform above the Telephone to come to you and hop on it to get to the next area. Here, you will find your first Yellow Button. This is one of three that you will need to find and press to unlock the path to the Firecrackers. Press this first button, then drop off the ledge in front of you, holding right to land on the ground beneath you. Here, you’ll find a crank, so use it to raise a platform out of the water, then hop across to the second yellow button. To find the third button, you will need to walk left from the second one and drop into a secret passage. Follow this to drop down into another passage and move right, then up to find the third Yellow Button. Press it and you will be able to hop out to where the crank is. Use it again, raise the platform, and hop across to go through the newly-opened path to where the Firecrackers are waiting for you. How to defeat the blue ghost After picking up the Firecrackers, you will be instructed on what button to press to use them: C for Xbox, Square for PS5, and Y for Switch. Go to the left of this room and drop down into the next area to find another blue ghost. Simply toss a Firecracker and the resulting sound and flashing will cause it to disappear for good. With it out of the way, work your way back up and to the right to where that first blue ghost is and use the Firecracker in the same way as before to defeat it.

  • Animal Well: How to unlock Map & Stamps – Dexerto

    Animal Well: How to unlock Map & Stamps BigmodeIn a Metroidvania like Animal Well, your map is important for showing you where you’ve been, what you still need to unlock, and much more. However, you won’t have a map when you start. Animal Well’s minimalist approach means there’s little text and next to no instructions included in the game. Puzzles and unlockable items – like the map – are meant to be uncovered via exploration. However, not having a map makes it harder to keep track of everything else you’ll want to do. So, in case you’re stuck, here’s how to unlock Animal Well’s map. How to unlock the Map in Animal Well First, you’ll need to find and learn how to use firecrackers to get past the first enemy, located in the room right of the first save point. You can learn more about how to find fireworks here. Once you’ve cleared the ghost, you’ll be able to access a crank. Use this to raise the platform as high as you can, then use it to make it up to the ladder. Climb the ladder, then head right. In the next room, you’ll see a chest on a platform. There’s nothing blocking it, so simply jump over and open the chest to unlock the map. How to unlock Stamps in Animal Well When you first unlock the map, you’ll find some useful information. However, there’s one more thing you’ll want to unlock all of the map’s features: Stamps. These allow you to add your own markers to the map so you can keep track of important details and better navigate Animal Well’s world. Starting from where you found the map, climb up the ladder in the room and turn left when you reach the next area. You’ll end up in a room with three green penguin statues. Continue left and jump on the platforms to reach the ladder. Climb it and, again, head left. In this area, you’ll see what looks like a giant egg, so head past it to find a special room. This is where you’ll find all the Eggs you can collect along your journey, which unlock some rewards including Animal Well’s true ending. For now, though, simply open the chest on the right side of the room to unlock Stamps. How to use & read Animal Well’s Map To open the map in Animal Well, press the touchpad (PlayStation) or Select button (other platforms/controllers). Animal Well’s map features a variety of symbols, but no key that explains what they mean. Here are the basic ones to look out for: Brown lines: Ladders – Pink boxes: Blocked doors – Pink dots: Fruit (Healing item) – Yellow icon: Telephone (Save point) – Once you’ve unlocked Stamps, you’ll be able to add icons to the map yourself by opening it and pressing Square (PlayStation), Y (Xbox controller or Steam Deck), or X (Nintendo Switch). You can also unlock the Pencil, which allows you to draw on the map, by collecting 16 eggs.

  • Animal Crossing’s Stitches literally comes to life as adorable plush – Dexerto

    Animal Crossing’s Stitches literally comes to life as adorable plush NintendoA skilled Animal Crossing fan has transformed fan-favorite bear Stitches into a real-life plush toy just in time for New Horizons on the Nintendo Switch. Stitches has been a long-time character in the life simulation series, his first appearance being in Wild World for the DS in 2005. He is a lazy-type bear made to look like a patchwork child’s teddy, and it’s his cute image that has made him such a hit with fans. Because the franchise is so popular, Nintendo has made countless merchandise from stationery, apparel, console accessories, and more. Several characters have even gotten officially licensed plush toys – something you’d think would be only natural for the bear. It has never happened though, at least not in a permanent form, so a fan took matters into her own hands. Adorable Animal Crossing plush On February 10, user ‘Courtnipie’ shared her cute creation to the Animal Crossing subreddit. If Stitches could jump out of the screen, he would truly look like this in real life – it’s so realistic! Every single detail is nailed to perfection, including all of his multicolored patchwork stitching which must have taken hours to sew together and stuff. Even the villager’s cross eyes are accurate, and breathe life into the toy. In the games, the lazy-type wears a Star Tee shirt – something that the talented fan also made for her plush, making him look even cuter… If that’s possible. In a surprise twist, Stitches’ head, arms, and legs are jointed, meaning they can all be moved and positioned into different poses, making the creation even more true to the game. Animal Crossing isn’t the only series Courtnipie has taken on – she’s also made plush toys of characters from popular games and movies such as Pokemon, Digimon, and How to Train Your Dragon. According to her website, the talented maker has over 17 years of experience with drawing and illustrating and over 10 years with sewing, making it no surprise that she’s so skilled at her craft. She also has an Etsy store where she sells various plushes, and even has the option for custom orders in the future. Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes out on Nintendo Switch on March 20, after an agonizing seven year wait for the next mainline entry in the series. There’s also a limited edition console releasing too, alongside a plethora of different accessories, meaning fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks.

  • Andrew Yang weighs in on Blizzard Hong Kong controversy – Dexerto

    Andrew Yang weighs in on Blizzard Hong Kong controversy Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has taken a stance on Blizzard’s recent controversy regarding the suspension of Hearthstone pro Chung ‘Blitzchung’ Ng Wai for his pro-Hong Kong message. Speaking with The Washington Post‘s video game outlet Launcher, Yang claimed that while he agrees with China’s stance on Loot Boxes, where companies are required to disclose the odds of obtaining an item inside, he differs on their suppression of free speech. “What we’re seeing now is two of China’s driving priorities starting to be at odds with each other,” he said. “Their priority is maintaining robust economic growth. Number two is social order and suppressing any political dissidence. […] The unfortunate reality is that these are the kinds of decisions we’re forcing companies to make every single day because of the globalized nature of the industry.” In reference to complaints he hears from executives he added, “A lot of these companies are like, ‘Why am I making these decisions?’” “And these decisions end up being massive investments of resources. They’re actually looking for some sort of guideline or assistance. These are from companies who have historically not been excited about having any government hand in their industries. It just goes to show we’re putting more and more companies into untenable positions,” he explained. Congress recently took a less sympathetic hardline stance on Blizzard’s decision to ban Hong Kong native Hearthstone pro Chung ‘Blitzchung’ Ng Wai, condemning the action and calling for a complete reversal of the ban. This came after Blizzard reduced Blitzchung’s ban from one year to six months and restored his prize winnings. Yang on video game violence and addiction When asked about his thoughts on video game addiction, Yang said he believes part of the problem is that politicians rarely bring up games and when they do it’s about violence. He, however, believes game addiction is a real issue. “No one ever talks about it unless it’s in the context of violence, and even then you just get some hand wringing behind it,” he said. For Yang, he views video games as a complex medium. “To me, games are intrinsic to the human experience, and video games are a natural evolution,” he said. “There is vast potential for gaming to serve not just for our entertainment, but for other positive things.” It’s refreshing to see a politician take a pro-game stance given the frequent attacks against video games by politicians who blame them for acts of violence. Back in August, President Donald Trump said that the United States must stop the “glorification” of violence in games following a shooting in El Paso, Texas that saw 21 people killed.

Note that you should never time travel forwards to get your turnips and then set the date backward, as your turnips will become spoiled. As we said previously, your turnips will also spoil if not sold by the following Saturday at 10 PM, so try not to be too greedy and wait too long to get that best price. That being said, you should be safe to time travel forward throughout the week a couple of days, as long as you don’t go past that 10 PM spot on Saturdays. What to do with turnips in Animal Crossing? Once you’ve purchased your turnips, you’ll want to store them. Unsurprisingly due to how lucrative they can be, there’s no way to plant turnips in Animal Crossing. The only ways to store your turnips are: Keep them in your inventory pockets. This will ultimately limit what you can carry, though. – Placing turnips within your home. – Burying the turnips in a designated spot on your Island. – The turnips won’t spoil whether placed in your home, stored in your inventory, or buried until 10 PM the following Saturday, so feel free to set them down wherever you have room. Can you plant turnips? Unfortunately, there is no way to plant turnips in-game to grow new turnips. As we mentioned, you are able to bury them as a method of storing- but this is the only option we have. How to sell Turnips and prices Selling turnips in Animal Crossing is incredibly easy. Throughout the week after buying from Daisy Mae, you’ll want to head into your Island’s Nook’s Cranny and speak to Timmy and Tommy. Each day, their prices will continue to fluctuate up and down. It can be worth waiting throughout the week to make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck, though, so don’t be too eager to spend them all on Monday. Predicting whether or not you’re likely to get a better price throughout the week is a lot of trial and error, though. This is mainly due to the fact that Timmy and Tommy’s buying prices change twice daily, between the hours of 8 AM and 12 PM. Since Turnip prices in Animal Crossing: New Horizons constantly fluctuate throughout the week, whether buying or selling, you’ll need to keep track of prices yourself or use a calculation site like Turnip Calculator to take out the need for hard work. Turnip Prophet One external tool that is a fantastic way to calculate and predict Turnip prices is called Turnip Prophet. This easy-to-use app allows you to predict when your selling price “spike” will be with the two raccoons. It works by having the player input their stalk market prices from the last few days, and figuring out the best way to make a profit. You’ll get the best results from the app after inputting your information for a couple of weeks, so you might not get accurate numbers straight away. Turnip Exchange Not set on wanting to have to wait more than a few days to get the best price? Try the Turnip Exchange. Available either through the Reddit community or the website of the same name, you can head to these to connect with other players who are opening their island to visitors wanting to sell turnips. It’s always worth checking out, as it’s the difference between making a profit, or losing out on Bells.

  • An Elder Scrolls Online journey: From peril to Fantasy paradise in a decade – Dexerto

    An Elder Scrolls Online journey: From peril to Fantasy paradise in a decade ZeniMax Online StudiosDuring an exclusive interview with Dexerto, Elder Scrolls Online creative director Rich Lambert reflected on the multiplayer game, recounting its creation, the less-than-perfect launch that followed, where things stand today, and of course, what the future holds for the Elder Scrolls community. When Elder Scrolls Online was first announced back in 2012, fans were both excited but apprehensive about the new title. After all, the franchise is known for its giant single-player experiences. The concept of bringing this Fantasy franchise to the online world was something completely new. During an exclusive interview with Dexerto, Elder Scrolls Online creative director Rich Lambert walked us through how the game came to be. From early concept ideas, deciding on when and where to set the title within the Elder Scrolls series, and figuring out the logistics of the multiplayer experience, continue reading as we dive deep into the journey of Elder Scrolls Online almost 10 years on from launch. Nagging Todd Howard for an online Elder Scrolls game Closing in on two decades of experience at Bethesda, Lambert was a pioneer for the multiplayer Elder Scrolls experience, pushing the concept from the get-go. However, the journey to getting the game up and running was one years in the making. “My first game there was Oblivion and I would go pretty regularly into [Todd Howard’s] office and just say, ‘Hey, we need to make an online version of this.’ Then one day he called me into his office. Matt Firor was there… to basically make an online studio and make ESO.” As one of the first to voice this idea and concept, Lambert was an obvious choice to work on Elder Scrolls Online. “Todd pleaded with him to take me because I think he was a little tired of me going in saying, hey, we should make this an online game. Matt and I chatted for like four hours that day and he hired me and the rest is history.” Elder Scrolls Online’s place within the greater lore of the franchise Like any good Fantasy franchise, Elder Scrolls is rich with extensive lore. While each game is set in particular periods of the ever-expanding universe, exploration allows players to understand the past and gain a greater understanding of each and every race found within Elder Scrolls. For Lambert and the rest of the Elder Scrolls Online team, deciding when the game would take place was one of the most important, and difficult, decisions. “The hardest part was trying to figure out which era we were going to be in, so Todd and Matt settled on the second era, a thousand years before everything else. “There wasn’t a lot of information about that period, the interregnum. There’s like a 400-year window where it was just chaos. And so we really started digging into what it could be and how.” A rocky launch that changed the future of ESO for good After years of development, the game finally launched in 2012. However, the initial reception was one of confusion. Many were struggling to connect out of the gate, something that Lambert admits was largely due to the team still figuring out what it was they wanted Elder Scrolls Online to be. “The launch game that we had was kind of this weird hybrid between MMO and Elder Scrolls and it didn’t really suit either of those. So we had to go back and refocus on what it was we wanted it to be. Is it an MMO first? Is it an Elder Scrolls game first?” The team quickly realized that, first and foremost, ensuring the foundations of ESO were still interwoven with the heart and soul of an Elder Scrolls experience was the way to go. “We decided on the latter, it was Elder Scrolls first and foremost. So everything we worked on from that point on was focused on ‘its Elder Scrolls.’ If you want to play it solo, you can.” And while the team may have had a clear focus from then on, the game, like most online experiences, was always and still is a work in progress. The changes and updates to Elder Scrolls Online a testament to the proactive and fluid approach the team has had over the almost decade-long run of the game. “It’s constantly work, right? There’s always something to fix. There’s always something to improve and then it takes a long time to build these stories. It takes about 18 months to build a zone. We’re already working on next year’s chapter and we just launched Necrom in June. We have actually been working on it for a while now.” The future of Elder Scrolls Online: 10-year anniversary and beyond As mentioned above, Elder Scrolls Online is nearing the 10-year mark in its lifespan. For Lambert and the rest of the devs, this milestone is an important moment. One that will be celebrated in a big way. “We might hear something in November. It’s a celebration of the game, it’s been live for 10 years. There’s a bunch of people on the team that have been working on it since the early days, you know, in 2007. “So we want this to be a celebration of the game, the community. It’s pretty rare in this day and age for a team to be working on a game as long as we have. There aren’t too many games that have hit the 10-year mark. Many games have just shut down and they didn’t even make it to the 10-year thing, so it’s pretty special.” When finally asked if Online will slow down after the 10-year mark or to make way for the next single-player experience, Lambert was quick to ensure that, so long as players want it to keep going, they will do everything they can to keep bringing new and fresh ideas to Elder Scrolls Online. “We’re working on features for you know, fourth quarter next year. We’re working on stories for 2025 and 2026. We’re constantly feeding stuff into it, and as long as people want to continue playing ESO, we’re going to continue.” With a new patch on the way and the tease of more great content, Elder Scrolls Online still has plenty to offer its fans.

  • An iconic RS3 boss is coming in Old School RuneScape’s next Slayer update – Dexerto

    An iconic RS3 boss is coming in Old School RuneScape’s next Slayer update JagexOld School RuneScape developer Jagex has proposed to add one of RuneScape’s (RS3) most iconic encounters as a Slayer boss in an upcoming update. Debuting in RuneScape in July 2014, Araxxor is an iconic four-phase boss that challenges players to learn several mechanics. Over time it has become a fan favorite, and now the giant Araxyte is making its way to Old School RuneScape too. Araxxor was proposed in a developer blog on June 17, alongside a reveal trailer showcasing the new threat. This blog confirmed that Araxxor is “not a backport of the RuneScape boss,” and will instead be a Slayer boss requiring 92 Slayer given an “all-new, Old School spin.” While the blog doesn’t divulge many boss mechanics, Jagex does describe Araxxor as being a melee-focused encounter that’s “not as tough as the Awakened Desert Treasure II bosses or the Fortis Colosseum,” suggesting that it will be a challenging Slayer encounter, but not an end-game boss. Interestingly, OSRS players will also have the choice to set Araxxor’s minions loose for a faster, more challenging fight, or deal with them early on for a slower, easier fight. This should make the Slayer boss more accessible, while also giving high-level players the option to farm Araxxor more efficiently. As for loot, the following proposed rewards will be available for slaying Araxxor: Noxious Halberd: A new halberd with DPS comparable to the Blade of Saeldor, with a special attack that immediately cures you of poison or venom. – Amulet of Rancor: A new best-in-slot amulet, with 20 Stab, Slash, and Crush bonuses, plus 12 Melee Strength. – Aranea Boots: A niche set of tribrid boots that grant occasional immunity to spider webs. – Araxyte Venom Gland: A new consumable item that deals 4 Venom Damage and provides 20 seconds of Venom Immunity. They are also used to brew Extended Anti-venom+ Potions. – Arraxxor Teleport Scroll: A consumable teleport scroll that places you at Araxxor’s lair. – Araxyte Head: An untradable Araxxor-themed reskin for the Slayer Helmet. – Jar of Venom: An incredibly rare, untradable flex item that can be placed in the Achievement Gallery. – Araxxor Pet: A rare pet drop from the encounter. – Keep in mind that everything proposed in the blog is not final. Arraxor may see changes to its loot or specific mechanics before it goes live in Old School RuneScape. If you want to give feedback on the proposed boss, the blog has a short survey attached for players to do so. Also, an additional in-game poll for the rewards will follow.

  • An actual “foot posing simulator” is now on Steam with an uncanny level of detail – Dexerto

    An actual “foot posing simulator” is now on Steam with an uncanny level of detail YouTube: Haele 3D Feet Poser ProA “foot posing simulator” with an uncanny amount of detail for players to explore is now available for purchase in the Steam store. Video games are amazing tools not only just for entertainment and art’s sake, but to also simulate real-world objects and environments with incredible detail. One such simulator in recent memory to impress with its immense detail was SpaceEngine, which used real-world data to simulate faraway planets and galaxies with staggering authenticity. Now once again, a dev is using a video game’s engine to its full potential to simulate real-world objects, this time a foot-posing simulator. No really, a foot-posing simulator. Created by Ige Olwen, Haele 3D Feet Poser Pro was made as an “easy to use foot anatomy reference tool for artists”, as its Steam description puts it. And it is undoubtedly one of the most detailed foot simulators ever made. Players can change a plethora of settings, such as lighting, background, poses, toenail color, skin color, and much more. Its simulation is so detailed you can adjust the skin color on specific sections of the foot where melanin may not be as present as other parts, such as the inner soles of the feet being lighter than the heel. Each model of a pair of feet is so painstakingly realized that in the video showcase of the simulator, the creator showed that if you zoom into a model, you can actually see the toeprints on each toe. And you can even adjust how wrinkly a foot is to further simulate the age of your model. However, the most interesting part of the simulator is that it was hit with a mandatory mature content description by Steam. With the dev describing it by saying, “There are naked feet in the game.” The game is set to release on June 27 with a pro version for sale and a lite version for free in demo form.

  • Former Uncharted director to showcase new Marvel game at D23 – Dexerto

    Former Uncharted director to showcase new Marvel game at D23 Marvel, Amy HennigAmy Hennig, former Uncharted creative director, will unveil her hotly-anticipated Marvel game at D23 in September. News about the mystery project first entered the public consciousness late last year, when Hennig and the crew at Skydance New Media announced a partnership with Marvel Entertainment. This particular adventure will mark the AAA studio’s debut title. Little is known about the game itself at the time of writing, though. Of course, this hasn’t stopped the internet from making guesses. One of the more popular theories posits the award-winning writer is heading up a Fantastic Four adventure. Fortunately, more concrete details will surface in less than one month’s time. Disney to tease Amy Hennig’s Marvel game at D23 During the D23 Expo on September 9, the company will broadcast a Disney and Marvel Games Showcase hosted by Blessing Adeoye Jr. from Kinda Funny Games. The live show will kick off at 1:00 PM PT, with new content from Disney & Pixar Games, Marvel Games, Lucasfilm Games, and 20th Century Games set to appear. Those who tune in can also expect to see new reveals from the likes o Marvel’s Midnight Suns, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and Disney Dreamlight Valley. In announcing the showcase on the D23 website, Disney also promised a “sneak peak” from Skydance New Media’s “Marvel ensemble game.” Notably, this marks the first official mention of the project starring an ensemble. Some would argue it gives further credence to rumors that Amy Hennig’s Marvel game will revolve around the Fantastic Four. This counts as one of many Marvel titles currently in development. Insomniac Games is hard at work on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine, for example. Meanwhile, Electronic Arts reportedly has a Black Panther game in the works. Another insider recently claimed EA additionally plans to publish an Iron Man-starring title.

  • Uncharted creator’s Marvel Game reportedly drops Captain America & Black Panther in WW2 – Dexerto

    Uncharted creator’s Marvel Game reportedly drops Captain America & Black Panther in WW2 Skydance New MediaUncharted creator Amy Hennig’s upcoming Marvel game will reportedly feature both Captain America and Black Panther and be set during the second world war. It was reported in August 2022 that Amy Hennig and Skydance New Media would be unveiling a brand new Marvel game as part of the partnership the studio has made with Marvel Entertainment. And while the game is set to be properly announced at the Disney & Marvel Games Showcase, a brand new leak may have given away the main characters and plot of this upcoming Marvel game. The latest leaks came from MCU Status on Twitter, with a September 8 post detailing how the title will “be a WW2 set adventure featuring Captain America and Black Panther. The duo will face off against the forces of Hydra.” Following this leak, the Marvel community has begun theorizing on Reddit what the game could include and which version of the Black Panther it could focus on. Surprisingly, this is not the only Marvel game starring Black Panther that is rumored to be in development, with EA reportedly working on an open-world experience where players will take control of Black Panther. While Marvel’s Avengers game was not received well by fans and critics alike, the latest Spider-Man titles have been a smash hit for PlayStation. With Spider-Man 2 in development as well as a stand-alone Wolverine title, it appears that Marvel fans can expect to see multiple games about their favorite heroes be released in the coming years. As well as this Marvel project, Hennig and Skydance New Media are also reportedly working on a brand new Star Wars title. While these are just rumors for the moment, fans won’t have to wait long to find out if they are true. Be sure to head back over to Dexerto after the Disney & Marvel Games showcase for all the news and updates on the content that is shown.

  • Among Us x Super Smash Bros. concept with moveset gets praise from devs – Dexerto

    Among Us x Super Smash Bros. concept with moveset gets praise from devs Nintendo/InnerSlothSuper Smash Bros. players who double as Among Us fans will love this concept, with fully-designed mechanics for the Among Us Imposter if they were to become a Smash character. From Minecraft Steve to Wii Fit Trainer, there have been some strange additions to the Smash lineup over the years. This fan-made concept, if it were to become true, would be one of the most bizarre yet. The idea of adding the Among Us crewmate to Ultimate has been around ever since the InnerSloth title became mainstream. One player even created a Smash Ultimate mod that saw the Imposter replace Pac Man in the game’s lineup, meaning Among Us crewmates could brawl it out on Summit or Kongo Falls. However, one talented and creative fan, @charred_lizard, has taken a different stand and looked at how to translate the Imposter’s murder actions into Smash abilities. The basic premise involves taking the Imposter murder animations from Among Us and turning them into Smash mechanics. The down smash, where the Imposter pulls out his gun, is particularly iconic and would instill a familiar sense of doom in any Smash opponent. Read More: How to beat Ultimate’s Sephiroth Challenge – Adding the Imposter to Smash seems unlikely – especially in Ultimate – but it doesn’t feel outside the realms of possibility. Collaboration between InnerSloth and Nintendo is a thing, as Among Us is now supported on the Nintendo Switch. At the time of writing, the designs have amassed over 13k retweets and a glowing response from the Among Us twitter admins. They were particularly amused by Onyx’s design for the dash attack animation. idk why i’m laughing so hard at this move but i am *push* *FLOOMP*thank you for making these 😂❤️ pic.twitter.com/iWd2fOexvf — Among Us (@AmongUsGame) December 17, 2020 We’d be really interested to see what a potential Final Smash mechanic would look like. Maybe we could see the big red Emergency Meeting button being pushed, before the Imposter’s opponent disappears from the map? Even though The Imposter won’t be joining the Smash lineup anytime soon, there will still be a few more additions – potentially including Rayman – in the coming weeks and months.

  • Among Us October update adds anonymous voting option – Dexerto

    Among Us October update adds anonymous voting option InnerslothThe October Among Us update went live over the weekend, allowing players to vote anonymously, try out new Halloween cosmetics, and more. [jwplayer mfcRpjb4] Innersloth’s surprise hit first became playable in 2018, but 99% of the people playing now had no idea it existed until every streamer and their grandma started playing in 2020. Compared to games like Overwatch or Call of Duty, the hit murder-mystery party game doesn’t exactly have too many different variables that devs can tweak and adjust. That being said, the October patch did include a fairly significant update by Among Us standards – the ability cast your vote without anyone knowing who you voted for. Players can now choose to vote completely anonymously, which will definitely add an extra layer of espionage and paranoia to the group discussions when you’re trying to eject the true imposter out of the airlock. The anonymous option should appear along with the familiar voting options on the same screen, so you can choose whether or not you want everyone to know you have a vendetta against Green who has been acting super sus lately. Developers also added new Task Bar options, which give players the option to toggle it on at all times, just during meetings, or never, if you so desire. This might help with focusing more on what others are doing rather than your task progress, but it also might be a bit tricky for newer players to get used to. Finally, the biggest part of the update has to be the spooky new hats added to the pre-game customization options for Halloween. For those who are still unaware of how to change hats or colors, simply walk up and click on the laptop in the pre-game lobby, and the cosmetic gallery should pop up.

  • Among Us VR: Trailer, platforms, release date – Dexerto

    Among Us VR: Trailer, platforms, release date InnerslothAmong Us is one of the most popular games in recent memory. Now, Innersloth have announced the long-rumored VR mode to make killing your friends more immersive than ever. Among Us was one of the most unexpected breakout successes of the last decade, taking the gaming world by storm and revolutionizing multiplayer gaming. Sessions of fooling and murdering your friends became a weekly staple, especially when we were all stuck at home. After it hit popularity in 2020, Among Us even inspired a number of similar games and modes. Gaming giant Fortnite even dropped Imposter Mode, which heavily riffed on the formula Innersloth perfected. But throughout all the success, fans have been calling for the game to come to VR. Thankfully, during The Game Awards 2021, their wishes were answered. Contents Among Us VR Trailers During the award show, an initial trailer dropped announcing that Among Us is getting a VR overhaul, letting players experience the game from a first-person perspective. The short clip showed a crewmate manually completing a task, before being snuck up on by a devious imposter. Among Us VR Reveal Trailer A second trailer arrived on April 20, showcasing 90 seconds of proper Among Us VR gameplay. From completing tasks to stalking prey, this footage gave our first real look at how the game functions in VR. Among Us VR Gameplay Trailer Among Us VR Feature Details Trailer The third Among Us VR dropped in June, and it gave fans another glimpse at what the first-person gameplay will look like. Most notable, it showed off some familiar and new tasks that players will have to complete on the Skeld, as well as the meetings between rounds. Among Us VR Release Date Trailer Rounding it all out was a final launch trailer in October, revealing the Among Us VR release was just weeks away. Among Us VR Gameplay In a blog post, developers Innersloth revealed that Among Us VR will feature the Skeld, the original map that helped shoot the game into mainstream popularity. To make full use of the VR hardware, the ship will be realized in 3D. The structure will follow the same format that fans know and love. Only this time the emergency meetings will be in-person rather than behind the comfort of a chat screen. Tasks will be familiar to long-time players but with an extra layer of interactivity thanks to the new perspective. And, of course, betrayals are going to be even more personal as you look your victim in the visor before eliminating them. Development of the new version is been handled by Schell Games, best known for I Expect You To Die. In a press release, CEO Jesse Schell said, “There’s a lot to love about Among Us and this partnership presents a perfect pairing of the runaway success of the original game and the upward trajectory of the virtual reality ecosystem.” Among Us VR platforms Among Us VR is being developed for Steam VR and Meta Quest 2, meaning that players across various platforms will be able to experience the game. While a PlayStation VR port was also announced at first, that version has since vanished. It’s entirely likely development switched over to the PS VR2, which we’re sure to see more of soon. It’s worth noting that Among Us VR will not be compatible with the original version, and will be sold as a completely separate game. Among Us VR release date Among Us VR is officially set to launch on Thursday, November 10. This comes almost a full year since it’s reveal and over four years since the original game launched. We’ll be sure to update you here with all the latest as Among Us VR draws near.

  • Among Us devs are planning to add custom map maker for hit game – Dexerto

    Among Us devs are planning to add custom map maker for hit game InnerslothInnersloth, the developers of hit party game Among Us, have revealed they are planning to potentially add a custom map maker to their hit title, although it will require some major effort before it’s released to players. Among Us has gone from practically unknown to a household name in gaming in the space of two short months. Innersloth, the three-person team behind it, have been swamped trying to keep up. They canned the sequel they were planning on making to instead focus on the base game. They want to add crucial quality of life features like accounts, friend lists, and colorblind mode too. However, they’ve also got their eyes on some huge creative projects too. One of those is a custom map maker. Currently, there’s only three maps in Among Us, with a fourth in the pipeline right now. But if players can get their hands on the tools, the possibilities are endless. There are a few roadblocks in the way of Innersloth’s plan to add it though. First of all, they want to get the game into a more stable state before they add massive new features like this. “It’s definitely really cool, and we’ve definitely thought about it, but it’s one of those ‘little bit later’ things once we figure things out a lot better,” developer Forest Willard said in an October 1 podcast with Twitch Gaming. They’d also have to completely overhaul the way they make maps in Among Us. Currently, all the maps are hand-drawn as one big block. There’s no individual assets. Innersloth would have to create the building blocks before they can even think of adding a custom map maker. “We would provide the assets. We would have to draw walls, boxes, accessories — basically making Sims maps, being able to build your own house/map. That does take a lot of work,” artist Amy Liu said. “The maps currently are just completely hand-drawn. There’s no tile sets or anything, so we’d have to completely redo how we do our maps,” added designer Marcus Bromander. Read more: Is Among Us coming to consoles? – Before a custom map maker hits Among Us, there’s a few new features they intend on adding. Innersloth were aiming to have accounts, colorblind mode, and more sturdy servers in the sequel, but after that was canceled, they are bringing those features over to the original game. There’s also only so much manpower in a three developer team too. While they’ve enlisted the help of other developers, for now, it’s just Innersloth and a dream. With Among Us cracking over 60 million users, they’re working on making the experience better for the present before adding these creative new features.

  • Among Us 2 canceled as devs reveal plans for the hit title’s future – Dexerto

    Among Us 2 canceled as devs reveal plans for the hit title’s future InnerslothInnersloth has announced they are canceling the sequel for Among Us, titled Among Us 2, on September 23. Instead, the devs will focus on improving the original game, outlining a host of new features they aim on implementing in the coming months. Among Us has risen up to be the hit game of 2020 it seems. The simple party game, first released in 2018, catapulted into the conscience of millions thanks to a surge in popularity on Twitch. The game has been at the top of the streaming platform’s charts since the end of August, and almost all of Twitch’s biggest creators — including stars like Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins — have been playing it. The three-man dev team has been strapped for time since the game’s rapid expansion, and while they originally promised to release a sequel to Among Us, they’ve since chosen to cancel it for now, instead focusing on improving the original game. “The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content,” they said on September 23. “We have decided to cancel Among Us 2 and instead put all our focus into improving Among Us 1. All of the content we had planned for Among Us 2 will instead go into Among Us 1.” The extra time will allow Innersloth to improve Among Us immensely. While the game is stripped back as it stands, the devs plan to implement a bunch of highly-requested features, including a friends system and colorblind mode. Read more: Is Among Us coming to PS5 & Xbox? – “We plan on adding other identifiers for players as well as certain color focused tasks, like wires. This should also open the potential for more colors,” they said on colorblind mode. “In the past we couldn’t add more colors because it became too difficult to tell players apart.” They are also designing a new stage for players, based heavily on the Henry Stickmin series also developed by Innersloth. “It is still very early and we have only just begun designing the layout. The theme has been settled on though! The next stage in Among Us is going to be a Henry Stickmin themed location,” they added. While there’s no time frame yet for all of these improvements, Among Us players have plenty to look forward to over the coming months.

  • Among Us devs open up on “burn out” after Twitch popularity sent game viral – Dexerto

    Among Us devs open up on “burn out” after Twitch popularity sent game viral InnerslothAmong Us became one of the biggest video games of all time practically overnight in 2020, going viral across Twitch and other streaming platforms. The devs at Innersloth, however, struggled to deal with the unprecedented success. Believe it or not, Among Us launched in 2018 to a relatively tame reception. As a spacefaring take on the age-old ‘Mafia’ party game genre, it wasn’t until 2020 that the title truly broke through the stratosphere. The world’s most popular streamers discovered the game and quickly launched it into one of the biggest hits that year. From historic broadcasts to mainstream success on both PC and mobile, Among Us reached more than half a billion gamers during its peak. Reflecting on such an unpredictable rise to the top, three Innersloth devs revealed how they coped with the stress in a June 16 interview with YouTuber Anthony Padilla. “Among Us going viral… It just became, ok, this is my life,” Innersloth Artist Amy Liu explained. Having gone from a smaller indie title to now having a global spotlight on the game, “the pressure to get things done quickly was really high,” she added. “September to December, we’re talking to Xbox, PlayStation. They’re trying to get Among Us on these platforms. Usually, that takes many months, half a year to a year. We were like, three months, we’re gonna try that.” With just a small handful of employees at Innersloth, this responsibility definitely caused burn out, Liu admitted. “During all this time, we weren’t able to see friends or family as well.” “When you’re under hundreds of millions of people worth of pressure, they don’t understand that it takes months,” Among Us Programmer Forest Willard chimed in. “The server issues should be fixed tomorrow. Adding new stuff should be next week. It’s a lot of pressure, it’s overwhelming. These things all take time.” While the game’s viral success certainly came with its upsides, it also put the entire studio under a unique microscope, according to co-founder Marcus Bromander. “The amount of attention we had on us, every little thing we do is gonna get looked at and criticized.” In a specific example, Bromander outlined how even just a simple font change was met with extremely harsh backlash early on. With tens of thousands continuing to log in daily, and thousands more tuning into livestreams and watching videos, there’s no denying the impact Among Us has had on the gaming industry. With that in mind, Innersloth has no plans of abandoning it anytime soon. However, the devs are slowly starting to map out the next release. Amusingly enough, it may have something to do with “toilet wizards,” Bromander teased.

  • Among Us 2 announced: sequel features, price, more – Dexerto

    Among Us 2 announced: sequel features, price, more InnerslothInnersloth have confirmed Among Us 2 is indeed on its way, following a massive surge in popularity of the series’ original 2018 title. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming sequel, including expanded features, and more. Among Us 2 is officially in production, Redmond development studio Innersloth revealed in a blog post on August 18. The confirmation comes soon after a popularity spike for the online multiplayer title, guided in part by Twitch streamers. Innersloth said they were always planning on expanding the Among Us world after watching it “grow and grow and grow” since 2018. Those plans seem to be in the form of a sequel, the team admitted, due to the size of the original. “Among Us started as a tiny local-multiplayer-only game. Online multiplayer took two months and a total rework. It was not created to be this big,” the devs admitted. “Fixing it all would be harder than just making a new game.” So, that’s what they’re doing — Among Us 2 is now officially on its way. Here’s everything we know about Innersloth’s ambitious new project. Is there a release date for Among Us 2? There isn’t a confirmed release date for Among Us 2 just yet. The devs have commented on the process. “We just started planning it,” they said. “We really do not know [when it may be released]. There is no art, programming, or sound done at all.” So, we have a bit of a wait ahead of us. Luckily, the original Among Us gives us a blueprint in regards to how long that development process may take. Innersloth took “about six months” to get the first title into an open beta stage. The multiplayer game then spent another half a year in early access on Steam, with players testing out all the finicky details. Among Us 2 may “take at least that long again” and will be in open beta for longer though, Innersloth warned. That means we can put the spotlight on an estimated release date: around August 2021 for the title’s beta. That date is, of course, subject to development changes. New features for planned 2021 sequel Among Us 1 maps will stay The biggest news for the sequel is that Innersloth plans to “basically include Among Us 1, in some capacity” for the 2021 release. This won’t just be a straight map port into the new title, but will involve the same three original areas. More players in every game Among Us 2 will also dial up the number of players in every game. At the moment, 10 players drop into every match, including two or three imposters. Innersloth is aiming for closer to 12 to 15 in the sequel, with multiple imposters. Innersloth adding more roles The “crewmate vs imposter” gameplay may also be tweaked slightly, they said. “We aren’t far enough in the design to confirm roles,” the devs said, “but the primary addition for Among Us 2 will be more complexity through roles.” Expect more content updates This will also be paired with “big content updates,” something Innersloth admits they missed in the first game “big time”. Expect regular seasons, or even battle passes for cosmetics, if modern gaming has taught us anything. Among Us 2 launch price The planned Among Us sequel will cost “more” than the original title, Innersloth confirmed in their August 18 blog post. That said, there are ways you can get the game a little cheaper. The main one is Innersloth’s “long-term player” deal. Any players who have already bought Among Us 1 will get a discount coupon for the sequel on Steam. They may also be given the mobile version (with ads). The Among Us devs also confirmed they were considering in-game currency for cosmetics so they can “let players buy or earn just the things that they want.” So there you have it; everything we know about Among Us 2 so far. Stick with Dexerto for all the news on Innersloth’s in-development title, which will be released on PC and mobile in 2021. Console releases may also be planned in the future.

  • Amnesia: The Bunker – Release window, trailer, gameplay & more – Dexerto

    Amnesia: The Bunker – Release window, trailer, gameplay & more Frictional GamesAmnesia: The Bunker is the next chapter in the survival horror series, but this game is set to radically shake up the formula. Here’s everything we know. While not as well known as horror franchises like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and others, every game in the Amnesia series is a masterclass in tension-building and pure terror. The first Amnesia game, the Dark Descent is considered the scariest game of all time many and went on to inspire a new wave of first-person survival horror games. Outlast, P.T., Resident Evil 7, Alien Isolation, and even Frictional Game’s own Soma, were all inspired by Amnesia and its absolutely petrifying gameplay. Now the masters of first-person horror are back with their fourth installment, and this time, things are going to be quite different in terms of gameplay. Contents Does Amnesia: The Bunker have a release date? – What platforms will Amnesia the Bunker be released on? – Trailer – Gameplay and setting – Does Amnesia: The Bunker have a release date? Amnesia: The Bunker will release on May 16, 2023. What platforms will Amnesia: The Bunker be released on? Amnesia: The Bunker is confirmed to be coming to PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Trailer Check out the Amnesia: The Bunker trailer below: Gameplay and setting Like previous games in the Amnesia series, The Bunker will be a first-person survival horror game where the player explores a spooky World War 1 bunker while something stalks them in the darkness. Earlier games in the series didn’t feature any combat. Instead, the player would need to run from enemies and avoid the dark to try and not go insane – or become monster food. This is also likely to be the case in the fourth outing. However, for the first time in the series, the bunker will be set in a “semi-open world” and will feature combat for the first time. While the protagonist is armed with a revolver, the trailer shows this only has one bullet. If this is the case for the entire game, then the player will need to use their one shot wisely. We’re unsure at this stage if the game will feature more ammo to reload the gun at any point. If not, then this creates a rather unique situation that could underpin the entire experience. However, a gameplay demo shows the player using this shot in a rather frivolous manner, therefore the game may feature more ammo than just one bullet. Most Amnesia games tend to connect to each other, even if it’s loosely, so it remains to be seen if The Bunker is a canonical sequel to The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs, and Rebirth, or simply another chapter in the Amnesia universe.

  • Amnesia: The Bunker review – Dug into a trench of disappointment – Dexerto

    Amnesia: The Bunker review – Dug into a trench of disappointment Frictional Games enters war mode as Amnesia: The Bunker is set to conquer the indie horror space once again. But is the game a worthy follow-up to the series’ twisted legacy, or does it risk fading into obscurity? There’s no genre from the last decade that has gone the distance quite like the indie horror scene. It seems like we’re getting a brand new spine-chilling experience released on Steam every week. Looking back over the last ten years, you’d be silly to overlook the Amnesia series’ seismic impact on horror gaming. While Amnesia’s previous sequels – A Machine for Pigs and Rebirth didn’t surpass the 2010 original in popularity or impact, Amnesia: The Bunker sets itself up for a radical change that may give it a fighting chance at a longer-lasting legacy. Amnesia: The Bunker – Key Details Price: $24.99 (USD) – Developer: Frictional Games – Release Date: June 6, 2023 – Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PC – Amnesia: The Bunker trailer There is a monster among us Amnesia: The Bunker is set during World War 1, where you play as French soldier Henri Clement who is trapped inside an underground bunker with very few resources. Your ultimate goal is to escape, finding all the necessary tools to blow up the blocked exit and making your way to the surface, while also avoiding a deadly monster that’s constantly stalking you. If that premise sounds familiar, it’s because dynamic pursuer enemies have become a popular feature for horror games in the last generation. Advanced AI means these monsters will follow you around, investigate areas you’ve visited, and react to every noise you make on the fly. They don’t just follow a set path pre-determined by the developers. Some famous examples include Resident Evil 2’s Mr. X and Alien: Isolation’s titular Xenomorph. The appeal of this mechanic is to ensure tension stays consistent throughout the whole game. The monster will react in real-time to new information, and will continuously switch up its behavior to try and stay one step ahead of you. It really requires you to think outside of the box to survive, predicting how this enemy figure will react to the next move you plan to take. Spooks but no thrills Unfortunately, Amnesia: The Bunker’s interpretation of constant threat is just a bit dull and not scary. For starters, the monster doesn’t get the introduction it truly deserves. You witness it kill a soldier at the very beginning of the game, but other than that you don’t really get a sense of its full capabilities. It doesn’t appear in the tutorial, and you never get to learn how it behaves until you reach the main area of the bunker. Even throughout the rest of the game, the beast spends very little time actually patrolling the floor searching for you. It’ll be inside the small crawlspaces for a while, and when you make a noise it’ll emerge from one of the nearby wall holes to investigate. But I want more random encounters. Look at how Alien: Isolation did it. I want the monster to explore on its own accord. Knowing that I could bump into it at any given moment, hearing its footsteps a few rooms away, and doing everything as carefully as possible to flank it is the feeling I want from this type of game. Instead, it feels incredibly predictable when it’ll show up, and will frequently result in death because of how few options you have to escape it. This is a character you’ll spend the next 5-10 hours trying to avoid, but it feels so detached from the rest of the game like an obstacle you want to avoid rather than a threat you need to fear. It’s probably the most disappointing feature of Amnesia: The Bunker, which is awkward when that’s your main selling point. Immersive exploration Despite this, there are other aspects of Amnesia: The Bunker that are enjoyable on their own. The game adds more immersive sim elements to the formula, with multiple ways to achieve objectives that come with their own pros and cons. Your main task to blow up the exit to the bunker requires collecting various different items, each of which can be acquired in a non-linear order, and there are plenty of ways to get around certain obstacles. It makes exploring the bunker fun when you find a secret entrance to a room you thought you’d have to break into, or by removing an infestation of rats you inadvertently open up a new route. You’ll be constantly looping through these same areas with new tools to help you explore, and for a game world that is so small, it’s tightly dense with plenty of detail baked into the environment. From an accessibility point of view, this also makes The Bunker’s puzzles a lot more approachable than previous entries. Since there are multiple ways to achieve some of your objectives, it’s less likely that you’ll be stuck trying to figure out what to do next. And even if that happens, there’s a Hints toggle option in the menu that will assist you in determining your next move. I don’t even mind the crafting and resource management systems in place here either. Usually, these types of features can be hit or miss depending on how frustrating it is to rummage around for items you need. But here, there are enough tools with multiple uses that it doesn’t become much of an annoyance. There will always be something you can craft that will come in handy for the moment you need it. Verdict – 3/5 Amnesia: The Bunker has all these little pieces that work well, but doesn’t fully deliver on its main hook. Fans of the series may be set up for a No Man’s Land of disappointment, where just a few tweaks here and there might make it a much more enjoyable experience. With it also launching on Xbox Game Pass, that might be the best place for it to gain an audience. Reviewed on PC.

  • Amnesia: The Bunker rabbit toy location – Dexerto

    Amnesia: The Bunker rabbit toy location Frictional GamesThe rabbit toy in Amnesia: The Bunker is a useful tool that will help you turn the tide when facing up against the monster. Here’s where you can find it. It’s no surprise that Amnesia: The Bunker is a difficult game. You’re trapped inside this underground hideout with a seemingly unstoppable enemy stalking you at your every move. You’re going to need all the help you can get. The rabbit toy is a fortunate item you’ll want to have in your inventory for when squaring up against this giant beast. Here’s where you can find it. Amnesia: The Bunker rabbit toy location The rabbit toy is a late-game item, as it requires you to have accessed the Roman ruins, which is a location deep down inside Arsenal. You’ll need the bolt cutters to get here. In the same room where you acquired the detonator handle in the Roman ruins, which are accessed in Arsenal, there is a hidden passage you can find behind some crates and barrels. Move these aside and crawl through to find yourself outside in a large crater. In the crater is a dead soldier with a dog tag, pick that up to get a locker code from it. Near to the body, you’ll also find the rabbit toy. Pick it up and it will be added to your inventory. What does the rabbit toy do? The rabbit toy is a one-time use item which allows you to distract the beast for around 10 seconds. If you throw it on the ground when the monster is nearby, it will inspect the item and play with it for a short while, giving you the chance to escape. As you can only use it once, we recommend saving it for the final area where this item will really come in handy. And that’s how you find the Rabbit toy in Amnesia: The Bunker.

The specs for the newest console have, for the most part,improvement on the current hardware. AMD, who are supplying some of the key components for the next generation of consoles have pretty much confirmed that we won’t be seeing any new hardware before the turn of the year. Speaking on a recent AMD financial earnings call, CEO Lisa Su dropped some fresh hints about the release of the next set of next-gen consoles – with a specific focus being made about the upcoming PlayStation. The CEO revealed that the company would be expanding its partnership with Sony moving forward and that they would see improvement in their ‘semi-custom’ business – the description used to refer to their work on consoles. She noted that AMD would be expecting a drop in semi-custom work for 2019 but that it would return in 2020. Su added: “And then as we go into 2020, without talking about any specific customer, we believe that semi-custom will return to a growth business for us in 2020 and beyond.” Will Microsoft jump ahead? While Sony had already pretty much confirmed that there would be no new console release before 2020, it now seems pretty definitive that this will end up being the case. There is still no word on just when the company will reveal, or even announce, their new console but they may be beaten to the next-gen punch by Microsoft – who are reportedly set to showcase their next Xbox at the upcoming E3 event in June. Read More: When is Cyberpunk 2077 coming out? – It remains to be seen if those reports of a showcase are true or if Microsoft will things one step further and release a new console before Sony even has the chance to make their move to the next-gen.

  • Amazon wants its second LOTR MMO to last for over a decade – Dexerto

    Amazon wants its second LOTR MMO to last for over a decade Amazon Games/EmbracerAmazon Games VP Christoph Hartmann says the company wants its next LOTR MMO to last for more than a decade. Thanks to an agreement with Embracer Group, owner of the Middle Earth Enterprises holding company, Amazon Games is working on a new Lord of the Rings MMO. The companies announced the news earlier this week while noting that New World developer Amazon Games Orange County will helm the project. Notably, this doesn’t mark the mega corporation’s first attempt at a LOTR-branded MMORPG. Amazon previously partnered with Leyou Technologies to build a Middle-earth-set adventure. The endeavor fell to the cutting room floor in 2021 after Tencent acquired the development team. Amazon aims to support its new LOTR MMO for a decade-plus Speaking about “bending the rules” of LOTR lore in a GamesIndustry.biz interview, Amazon Games VP Christoph Hartmann stated the following: “I definitely want to put the game first to make sure it’s a great game, because as I said, we want people to play for ten years, and it’s not going to help me if someone is saying, ‘That’s a perfect representation of the book in a game.’ If you’re really into that, read the book…” The Vice President reiterated the company’s 10-year plan upon discussing his refusal to rush the game out the door. “It’s done when it’s done and when it’s ready. That’s it. I want that thing to be alive for ten years plus. We’re not going to ship something which is not ready,” he said in part. Whether or not this 10-year plan for Amazon’s LOTR MMO will come to fruition, of course, remains to be seen. World of Warcraft proves that players will readily return to a game for years on end if there’s enough incentive. The question, then, is whether Amazon’s Orange County crew can strike the same cord with a large enough user base. Since the MMO won’t see the light of day for at least the next several years, it’s impossible to judge whether or not the team is up to the task.

  • Amazon EA acquisition rumors: Reports claim no bid made – Dexerto

    Amazon EA acquisition rumors: Reports claim no bid made EAAmazon was reportedly set to buy Electronic Arts, and in turn add a whole bunch of mammoth franchises to their belt in FIFA, Apex Legends, and many more. However, it appears as if this may have just been a false rumor. UPDATE: After initial reports that Amazon was preparing an offer to acquire Electronic Arts, the notion has quickly been dismissed with CNBC Now’s David Faber claiming that: “this is not going to happen,” and confirming that Amazon is not going to make a bid for Electronic Arts. The early indicators are that this was just a rumor, and we’ll update this story if we learn more. ORIGINAL: According to sources, it appears as if Amazon, a growing force in the digital and gaming world, was set to make a huge statement by buying Electronic Arts AKA EA. The report came from GLHF who stated that Amazon was going to formally announce an official offer, on August 26, 2022, to acquire the game developer and publisher. These initial reports have been greatly contradicted though with multiple sources now saying that this breaking story was nothing more than a rumor and Amazon is definitely not planning to submit a bid for EA. EA has been the talk of the town recently with other huge companies such as Apple and Disney rumored to be interested in acquiring them, but it appeared as if Amazon was going to strike first. It would’ve meant that Amazon would own some of gaming’s biggest franchises in Apex Legends, FIFA, Madden, Battlefield, and tons more. This would also have signified yet another bonkers gaming buyout in recent years following Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda in 2020, their transaction in progress with Activision Blizzard, and Sony’s official buyout of Bungie. Not only that, but it would’ve made sense for Amazon as they not only provide free games to subscribers of their Amazon Prime service, but the company has also been moving into the movie production market too. Already, Amazon has multiple game franchises lined up for TV including the iconic RPG franchise Fallout as well Sony’s iconic God of War series.

  • Amazon driver fired after allegedly stealing PS5 birthday present – Dexerto

    Amazon driver fired after allegedly stealing PS5 birthday present Amazon/SonyAn Amazon delivery driver has been fired after they allegedly stole a PS5 that was out for delivery to a 16-year-old who was expecting it as a birthday present. As if those of us who have purchased PlayStation 5’s online don’t have enough to worry about as our new consoles make their way to us, now a new episode out of the UK shows you apparently can’t trust anyone when it comes to the next generation of gaming. On November 20, a Twitter user named Richard Walker posted security camera footage which he claimed showed an Amazon delivery driver taking the PS5 meant for his son’s birthday for themselves. https://twitter.com/dickidub/status/1329680109616369664?s=20 The driver took the package out and scanned it to make it seem like it was delivered, before simply shoving it back into the van. After the family contacted Amazon, the company said they would look into the incident before giving them a full refund for the machine — but apparently didn’t replace the PS5 itself. That wasn’t enough for the family though, who took the footage to their local Amazon location where the PS5 was shipped out from, and heard from the boss that the employee responsible would be fired. “We have very high standards for our delivery service providers and how they serve customers,” an Amazon rep told Oxford Mail. “The delivery associate will no longer be delivering on behalf of Amazon.” It’s funny to imagine that the driver took the PS5 to get in some epic gaming of his own, but the more likely scenario is that they swiped it to cash in on the resell value. The next-gen consoles are listed for over $1,000 each on sites like eBay. Whatever their reason was, they might have a hot new next-gen console, but they’re now out of a job, which definitely isn’t a trade-off we would make, at least. Package thiefs who steal deliveries off of peoples doorsteps, or so-called “porch pirates,” are not a new phenomenon in our internet-connected day and age, but a delivery driver taking a kid’s PS5, especially when they’re in such high demand, has definitely rubbed people the wrong way.

  • Amazon cuts 100 jobs from gaming division despite expansion plans – Dexerto

    Amazon cuts 100 jobs from gaming division despite expansion plans AmazonIn addition to laying off more than 400 Twitch employees, Amazon has announced 100 job cuts that will impact its gaming vertical. Amazon, like several other major tech companies, laid off thousands of employees late last year. Such a blow was followed by another 8,000 job cuts a few months ago in Janaury. Unfortunately, yet another round of layoffs swept the company in March, which affected approximately 9,000 roles within Amazon’s Advertising, AWS, PXT, and Twitch divisions. 400 of those staffers were members of the Twitch group. The latest news on this front reveals that 100 more people have been let go from the corporation’s otherwise growing games division. Amazon cuts 100 jobs despite plans to grow game studios On Tuesday, April 4, Amazon Games VP Christoph Hartmann announced 100 layoffs in a memo obtained by CNBC. These latest cuts target the gaming sector, specifically the San Diego studio, Game Growth group, and Prime Gaming. An unspecified number of workers were also reassigned to other segments of the company “that match our strategic focus,” Hartmann wrote. The VP added that employees impacted by the move will receive support in the form of “severance pay, health insurance benefits, outplacement services, and paid time to conduct their job search.” Notably, despite the job cuts, Christoph Hartmann’s memo also mentions growth plans for the gaming sector at Amazon. According to the executive, the Irvine, California-based team behind New World “will grow as we shift some resources to further support its continued development.” Amazon’s Montréal development house will expand as well, increasing its headcount as the crew progresses through production on an unannounced project. Exploring new publishing endeavors serves as another priority for Amazon, following its recent deal to bring South Korean developer NCSOFT’s Throne and Liberty MMORPG to the Americas, Europe, and Japan.

  • Aloy confirmed to be queer in Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC – Dexerto

    Aloy confirmed to be queer in Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC Guerrilla GamesAloy is here and unapologetically queer in Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC. When it comes to Aloy and romance or sexuality, many questions come to mind. Is she completely aromantic or asexual? Could she be queer, or simply uninterested in any character’s advances? These thoughts have been boggling fans for years now. With the release of a sequel and now its DLC, it’s no wonder that players want to know as much as they can about Horizon’s beloved protagonist. After all, they have sat through countless dialogue segments as Aloy, witnessing her shoot down any potential suitors. Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC thankfully brings with it an answer to Aloy’s interests and identity, confirming that she may indeed be queer. Warning: There are spoilers for the new Burning Shores DLC below. Is Aloy queer in Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC? A dialogue scene from the new Burning Shores DLC in Horizon Forbidden West has confirmed that Aloy is, in fact, queer – although the exact details of her identity aren’t yet known. You can watch the romantic scene between Aloy and her love interest, Seyka, as shown in Gaming with Abyss’ YouTube video below. Seyka says to Aloy that she wants to be with her, and hopes that the protagonist feels the same way. Players can then choose from three dialogue options in response. Aloy can say “Yes, I do” and confirm her reciprocated feelings. If the player selects this dialogue option, Aloy and Seyka share a kiss and smile at each other. Through her shining smile, Aloy simply says, “Wow.” She can reply also reply with, “I’m not ready for this,” or, “This is too much for me.” While these two options are a form of rejection, they only insinuate that Aloy is not interested in a relationship at the moment, rather than explicitly stating that she is not queer. It will be interesting to see how Aloy’s relationship blossoms and how fans react to the romance option. For now, players can at least take pride in knowing Aloy’s shameless identity.

  • Amazing Among Us concept makes Smash Ultimate characters the imposters – Dexerto

    Amazing Among Us concept makes Smash Ultimate characters the imposters Twitter: KocakupA talented artist on Twitter has perfectly combined the popular game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and unexpected 2020 sensation Among Us, by recreating almost every character from Smash into little imposters, going viral as a result. Among Us has been the breakout out game of this year, despite actually releasing two years ago in 2018. The social deduction game’s minimalistic art style and simplistic gameplay has captivated fans across the world, surpassing 85 million downloads on mobile alone. The adorable little spaceman characters have certainly been a hit, and many fans have been combining Among Us with their favorite games to see how the mechanics of the social deduction game would work on other platforms. One YouTuber HYAYA (흐야야) skillfully recreated Among Us in Overwatch using its custom game mode with the Horizon Lunar Colony map as the backdrop, the video garnering over 40,000 views with fans of both games impressed by the feat. Artist Kocakup on Twitter has also done a crossover of two games, but this time the opposite way around, recreating characters from global hit Smash Ultimate in the style of the minimalistic pellet-like sprites from Among Us. Each sprite has been individually crafted to best represent their Smash counterpart, with key features and accessories used to identify them. Princess Peach is yellow with a pink bodysuit, and a tiny crown that sits atop her head.

  • Alone in the Dark review: Original survival horror resurrected & on form – Dexerto

    Alone in the Dark review: Original survival horror resurrected & on form The Alone in the Dark reboot is here and avoids the pitfalls of previous entries. Here’s what we thought of this spooky reimagining of the series. While the Resident Evil series may have coined the term survival horror, it was the original Alone in the Dark game that inspired Capcom’s legendary zombie franchise. The series often doesn’t get the credit it deserves, but this is largely down to its many sequels and reboots failing to live up to the original. Like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, the Alone in the Dark games got more action-packed over the years but lost their identity and what made the original so special. While Alone in the Dark (2024) technically isn’t the first time the series has been rebooted, it’s the only one to go back to the original game, take what made it a classic, and modernize the experience for a new generation. This is exactly what the series needed and it’s nice to have the franchise back doing what it does best – creeping us out with ghoulish monsters, fiendish puzzles, and spooky Lovecraftian storytelling. Alone in the Dark: Key details Price: £32/$44.99 – Developer: Pieces Interactive – Release Date: March 20, 2024 – Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC – Alone in the Dark trailer Wiping the slate clean For those who are new to Alone in the Dark, this 2024 reboot is an ideal starting point. For those who are familiar with the series, forget everything but the original trilogy. That’s because if this new game is successful, THQ Nordic could make sequels based on the original Alone in the Dark 2 and 3, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Our point is this reboot (loosely at times) reimagines the original Alone in the Dark, and anything that came after the original series’ PS1 era is best forgotten. Like the original game, Alone in the Dark tells the story of Emily Hartwood (Jodie Comer) and private investigator Edward Carnby (David Harbour) traveling to Derceto Manor, a home for the “mentally fatigued”, to investigate the disappearance of Jeremy Hartwood, who is Emily’s uncle. Jeremy has been dabbling with some dark powers and has unleashed something horrific on the inhabitants of Derceto and the surrounding city of New Orleans, thrusting Emily and Edward into a battle for their lives. The game essentially combines elements of the original Alone in the Dark with all the present-day trappings of the survival horror genre as seen in games like the Resident Evil remakes and Alan Wake 2. It successfully manages to feel both modern and be a traditional survival horror experience at the same time – a balance some games like this often struggle to get right. It employs the “over the shoulder” aiming style to shoot monsters but doesn’t dilute the experience by descending into mindless action. However, the combat does increase as the game goes on. If you’re expecting the action to be on the same level as games like Resident Evil 4 or Alan Wake 2, you’ll be left disappointed. While we found the shooting mechanics to be solid, close-quarter combat was often clunky. When playing the game on normal difficulty, we found plenty of ammo and health so we mostly stuck to firearms for the duration. Throwing a bottle to attract the attention of shuffling zombie-like enemies and then dropping them with a well-placed headshot was often satisfying and many of the monsters truly are nightmare fuel. Traditional survival horror returns Old-school Resident Evil and Silent Hill fans will love it, as the game ensures its atmosphere and locations are always creepy and even the most mundane corridor is dripping in dread, with a dank, oppressive feeling always hanging over proceedings. As players unlock more rooms and wings of Derceto Manor, the more clues they’ll unlock. Not only does this drive the story and gameplay forward, but it also makes the game progressively scarier which we thought was a nice touch. The more you learn, the more you’ll wish you hadn’t. Solving the mystery is at the heart of the gameplay, after all, that’s what the protagonists are there to do. For the most part, Derceto Manor is a safe hub where players can explore, solve puzzles, chat with NPCs, and read notes left by various characters. These notes flesh out the lore of Alone in the Dark and also provide vital clues to solving puzzles or learning the true nature of some characters. After reaching certain points, players will enter the nightmares and memories of Jeremy and this is when the survival horror really kicks in. After completing these segments, players will then return to the Manor, often with new items or information needed to complete more puzzles or unlock new areas. However, Derceto Manor will gradually become more corrupted and dangerous as players begin to unlock the truth behind Jeremy’s disappearance and the dark forces at play. The game also makes masterful use of its setting, with the streets of New Orleans and surrounding swamps featuring as locations for the game’s more action-heavy settings. While Derceto Manor serves as a hub, the nightmare and memory segments take players to various locations, each one creepier than the last – and usually full of monsters to blast/avoid and secrets to unearth. The Verdict 4/5 Alone in the Dark never quite reaches the dizzying heights of the Resident Evil 4 remake or Alan Wake 2, but it’s still a worthy addition to this new golden age of survival horror we find ourselves in. It’s also fitting for the series that inspired Resident Evil to now borrow from the very thing it inspired. We also found strands of DNA from Silent Hill, The Evil Within, and The Last of Us sprinkled throughout the experience, all while Alone in the Dark re-establishes its own identity in this space. Those looking for a third-person action shooter may lose patience with Alone in the Dark. However, those looking for a traditional survival horror experience, one with its PS1 roots still slightly visible, might be reminded why they fell in love with the genre to begin with. The main takeaway though, is that Alone in the Dark is finally back, playing to its strengths, and catering to those who’ve missed it.

  • Alone in the Dark reboot reveals Jodie Comer & David Harbour in lead roles – Dexerto

    Alone in the Dark reboot reveals Jodie Comer & David Harbour in lead roles THQ NordicIt’s been revealed that Jodie Comer and David Harbour will star in the upcoming reboot of the pioneering survival-horror game Alone In The Dark. 31 years after the original Alone in the Dark was released, THQ Nordic are reimagining the classic franchise with a reworked story that features characters from the first three games and moves the action to an ‘over-the-shoulder’ perspective. Just like the original, this reboot will focus on a single-player adventure with two familiar characters to play as: Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby. They’ll be portrayed by Killing Eve star Jodie Comer and Stranger Things star David Harbor respectively. Speaking about what fans can expect from the reboot, writer and game director Mikael Hedberg said: “We start our story much like the original. Jeremy Hartwood is haunted by the Dark Man, and he goes to a countryside hospital called Derceto in the hope to find some help. “Jeremy sends a disturbing letter to Emily Hartwood, his niece, and it spooks her enough that she hires Detective Edward Carnby to find out what’s going on.” The story will differ slightly depending on whether you choose to play as Emily or Edward, and the people you encounter along the way will react differently to you depending on your chosen character. Explaining the decision to bring Comer and Harbor on board, Hedberg continued: “We knew early on that we had a character-driven story, so we needed to find some really good actors to make those characters come to life.” The Alone in the Dark reboot has also finally been given a release date: October 25, 2023. Pre-orders are live now, and anyone who does place a pre-order will get a bonus 1992 Costume Pack that puts the original game’s character designs into the reboot. Before that release date rolls around, though, you’ll be able to experience a prologue for Alone in the Dark that takes place a couple of weeks before the main story. That’s available to download for free right now. Alone in the Dark will be released on October 25, 2023, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Contents Alone in the Dark release date – Trailers – Alone in the Dark voice cast – Alone in the Dark reboot storyline & gameplay – What platforms will Alone in the Dark be on? – Alone in the Dark release date The current release date for Alone in the Dark is March 20, 2024. The game was originally supposed to launch on October 25, 2023. Its release date was pushed back to January 16, 2024, due to the number of video games on the horizon. Roughly a month before its January launch, it was again delayed to avoid crunch over the Christmas period. “The year is coming to an end, and the Christmas Holidays are upon us. However, until today, it didn’t seem that way for Pieces Interactive, the team developing our upcoming survival horror game, Alone in the Dark. With our initially planned release date in January 2024, the Christmas season would have been filled with stress and anything but a jolly time for them.” The announcement from THQ Nordic reads. “Therefore, THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive have decided to give Alone in the Dark a new release date: March 20th, 2024.” A playable prologue for the game is available to download now. Alone in the Dark reboot trailers An announcement trailer for the game showed off a combination of cutscene footage as well as gameplay elements. From the footage shown, the game has a visual and gameplay design similar to the Resident Evil reboot. It includes a first look at the two protagonists, supporting characters, as well as some of the monsters that players will encounter throughout the game. You can watch it below: Then, on May 26, 2023, THQ released a spotlight on Alone in the Dark, detailing more about the game’s story, who will be part of the voice cast, and the highly anticipated release date. You can watch it below. Alone in the Dark voice cast As revealed in the spotlight trailer, Alone in the Dark will have a star-studded voice cast, featuring actors, David Harbor (Stranger Things) and Jodie Comer (BBC’s Killing Eve). They will star as the two playable protagonists known as Edward (the detective) and Emily (the niece looking for her uncle). Alone in the Dark reboot storyline & gameplay The Alone in the Dark reboot will take place in the same location as the first game, the Derceto Mansion, and will essentially be a remake of the original entry from 1993. Quite how faithful or loosely the reboot follows those events remains to be seen. However, the game will abandon all the previous timelines that have been established in various older Alone in the Dark games and start a new continuity. It will include the original protagonists Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood and is set to take place in New Orleans in the 1920s. At the beginning of the game, players will choose one of the characters to play as and will follow their campaign. Players can then select the second character and play their story, with both Edward and Emily having separate and distinct campaigns. They will feature heavily in the story of the other though. As a result, the game will likely have great replay value. It will include monsters, puzzles, and a shocking mystery that will need to be uncovered by playing through both campaigns. It will be a traditional survival horror experience where players will have limited supplies and will be required to backtrack during sections of the game. The reboot will take inspiration from the recent Resident Evil and Dead Space remakes, including using the ‘over the shoulder style’ of aiming for action sequences. What platforms will Alone in the Dark be on? The game has been confirmed to be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. There has been no news on whether it will be released on Playstation 4 or the Xbox One.

    Alone in the Dark reboot announced by THQ Nordic, returns to survival horror roots Pieces InteractiveTHQ is reviving Alone in the Dark and the survival-horror franchise will return featuring many of the elements and features that made the original games cult classics. In a world where Resident Evil and Silent Hill have dominated the survival-horror scene for years, Alone in the Dark has always had to play second and even third fiddle. In spite of this, the franchise has retained a great following of loyal fans over the years, many of whom have been yearning for a sequel to remove the memory of Alone in the Dark: Illumination. Thanks to THQ Nordic, that dream looks to be a reality with an Alone in the Dark reboot announced, and the Lovecraftian-inspired game is already promising a great deal. Alone in the Dark reboot is a horrifying prospect Being developed by Pieces Interactive, the team behind the Titan Quest games and Magicka 2, the team has outed several key features players will be subjected to as well as nightmares to dream about. “Experience a deep psychological story that goes beyond the realms of the unimaginable, by Mikael Hedberg, cult horror writer of SOMA and Amnesia,” they’ve said. Although a reboot, Alone in the Dark will be comprised of ideas from the first three games, including its setting – Derceto Mansion. It will also feature the original protagonists – Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood – and the character you decide to go on this frightening journey with will get their own cut-scenes and levels to encourage replayability.

  • Alleged Valve shooter leaks worsen as potential gameplay emerges online – Dexerto

    Alleged Valve shooter leaks worsen as potential gameplay emerges online ValveValve has become more known for the Steam storefront than its own games, but they are still an active game developer. After details of an alleged new title from the company were leaked online, it seems as though gameplay footage has now also emerged. According to a tweet/post by PlayerIGN, a little over a minute of footage has been drawn directly from the game, codenamed Deadlock. The video features an art style that many will recognize from other Valve titles, including Team Fortress. According to previously revealed details, the game is a 6v6 hero shooter that was previously known internally as ‘Neon Prime, Citadel.’ It features 16 heroes for players to choose from, with fast-paced gameplay and abilities to use. The game features a lane-based system more often seen in MOBAs, all realized on very large maps. In addition, there are unique skills for each character, items to buy and tower defense elements to maintain control. The game has been described as a combination of Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2, with much of the hero design taking cues from the former. The leaker above also confirmed that Valve has taken the game through various style iterations. “Hero design is pretty much inspired by the Dota universe. The main map references a modern steampunk European city (little bit like Half-Life)” he said. He then went on to add that this is far from the first vision for the game, saying, “Initially, game had sci-fi elements inspired by Half-Life and Portal, but after bad feedback dev team decided to focus on fantasy.” There has been no official word yet from Valve or anyone working on the game. With more and more about the game emerging all the time, if it is real, an official announcement is becoming more and more likely.

  • Alone in the Dark voice actors & cast list – Dexerto

    Alone in the Dark voice actors & cast list Pieces InteractiveDescribed as a reimagining of the beloved 1992 original of the same name, Alone in the Dark is set for a full release on March 20. Here’s everything we know about the game’s cast and voice actors. Alone in the Dark is set in Louisiana during the interbellum or interwar period. It follows Emily Hartwood and private investigator Edward Carnby as they investigate the disappearance of Emily’s uncle, Jeremy Hartwood. This involves them going to Derceto Manor, described by the game’s developers as a “home for the mentally fatigued.” As you may be able to tell, this does not all go to plan and nefarious forces wait for them. It’s important to note that the new Alone in the Dark is by no means a remake of the original. Instead, this new effort will contain nods to the classic version, while using new story avenues for players to explore. As with any voice-acted horror game, a solid cast is essential, and Alone in the Dark is no exception. Complete cast list for Alone in the Dark Considering how close we are to full release, little is known about the game’s cast, outside of the starring roles. This is likely because the developer has pulled back the cast size from the 2008 game, which featured many characters and notable voice talent. Emily Hartwood is played by Jodie Comer, in her first video game role. She is most well-known for her starring role in Killing Eve and her appearance as Rey’s Mother in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The role of Edward Carnby will be filled by David Harbour, beloved for his significant part as Jim Hopper in Stranger Things. He is also well known for his appearances in Black Widow and as the titular character in Hellboy. Unfortunately, those are the only two confirmed appearances at the time of writing. Both characters have their likenesses captured in-game and it should make for a fairly compelling setting to perform in.

  • Alleged UFC 5 character model leak sparks hilarious response from UFC legend – Dexerto

    Alleged UFC 5 character model leak sparks hilarious response from UFC legend X: BlessedMMAWhen Max Holloway’s alleged UFC 5 character model hit the internet, fans didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Now, even Holloway himself has chimed in on the matter. Recently, a supposed leak of Holloway’s character model for the upcoming UFC 5 game made waves on social media. The image, shared by various accounts, compared this alleged game model with an actual photo of Holloway, prompting a mix of amusement and disbelief among fans. Fans were quick to comment, “This surely isn’t real,” and others jokingly referred to the character as “Hax Molloway.” However, keen fans of the UFC video game series were quick to debunk the clearly fake comparison, pointing out that the supposedly leaked character model was simply just a custom character made in UFC 4. Another fan humorously changed up Holloway’s famous “it is what it is” to a Spanish “es lo que es.” Max Holloway, never one to shy away from a good laugh, has now taken to Twitter to share his thoughts on the matter, too, commenting, “How you guys believing this?” This isn’t the first time Holloway has commented on the upcoming UFC 5 game. After leaked gameplay footage surfaced showing Holloway being defeated by Alexander Volkanovski, Holloway humorously rated the gameplay “-100 out of 10.” While fans are having fun with Holloway’s character model, there’s serious anticipation building around UFC 5. The game is set to release on October 27, 2023, exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. EA Sports recently unveiled the cover athletes: reigning featherweight champion Alexander “The Great” Volkanovski and former flyweight champion Valentina “Bullet” Shevchenko. The Deluxe Edition of the game will spotlight Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. This marks Adesanya’s second consecutive appearance on a UFC game cover, having previously graced the cover of UFC 4 alongside Jorge Masvidal. However, the UFC 5 cover has stirred controversy due to EA Sports’ decision to use character models instead of traditional athlete photographs, leading some fans to compare it to mobile game artwork. Thankfully, those character models closely resembled the athletes, unlike the clearly fake character model for Holloway that is spreading on social media.

  • All WWE 2K24 Match Types: Brand new & Returning modes – Dexerto

    All WWE 2K24 Match Types: Brand new & Returning modes 2K GamesWWE 2K24 features a variety of match types including some new ones, so here’s a full rundown of all the different matches you can play in the game. The latest WWE 2K release, WWE 2K24 has just arrived for players to enjoy and it includes some exciting features for fans to dive into, such as an expanded roster, the new Showcase mode, and a lot of match types including new and returning ones to enjoy. If you’re wondering exactly what type of matches you can play in the game, we’ve got you covered with a full list of them below. Contents: All new Match Types in WWE 2K24 – All returning Match Types in WWE 2K24 – All new Match Types in WWE 2K24 Ambulance Match First up in WWE 2K24 is the Ambulance Match. While not technically a first, as SmackDown vs RAW 2010’s Nintendo DS port bizarrely featured this match type, it is nonetheless a first for the current generation. If you’ve never seen an Ambulance Match before, the aim is implied in its name. Debilitate your opponent, throw them in an Ambulance, and slam the door shut to be declared the winner. Backstage Brawl (Tag Team, Triple Threat, Fatal 4-Way) While not a new match type as a whole, the Backstage Brawl is being expanded here in WWE 2K24. Where before it purely functioned in 1v1 matches, the stipulation can now be added to Tag Team bouts, Triple Threats, and Fatal 4-Ways. Casket Match Not seen properly since WWE ‘12, the iconic Casket Match is making its return in WWE 2K24. Much like the Ambulance Match above, your goal remains the same. Damage your opponent, throw them inside a casket at ringside, and slam the lid shut in order to win the match. With no other rules, violence is all but guaranteed with all manner of weapons likely to come into play. Gauntlet Match Not seen in modern-era games, the Gauntlet Match is making a comeback in WWE 2K24 as well. As the name implies, the goal here is to survive through a number of gruelling 1v1 matches in a row. Starting off as a regular 1v1, the winner remains in the ring as a new challenger then approaches. The cycle repeats until an ultimate winner is declared. It’s likely players will be able to customize this match to set the number of opponents. Special Guest Referee Match Also returning in WWE 2K24 is the Special Guest Referee match type. While not inherently a unique match of its own, this feature lets players have another superstar don the ref attire and control the match. Players will seemingly be able to have friends play as the referee directly, or let AI control them as usual. Though for now, it’s unclear just how much input these special guests may have on the outcome of a match. All returning Match Types in WWE 2K24 Alongside the headliners above, a wide range of familiar match types are appearing once again in WWE 2K24, with everything from the Elimination Chamber to War Games and plenty more. Below is the full list: Normal – Falls Count Anywhere – Extreme Rules – Ladder – Table – TLC – Hell In A Cell – Steel Cage – Iron Man – Last Man Standing – No Holds Barred – Submission – Tornado Tag – Mixed Gender Tag – Battle Royal – Elimination Chamber – Handicap – War Games – Royal Rumble – Tournaments (Tag Team, Dusty Rhodes Classic, Mixed Match Challenge) – For more WWE 2K24 content, check out our guides below: Is Brock Lesnar in WWE 2K24? | WWE 2K24 soundtrack | WWE 2K24: All 40 Years of WrestleMania matches | DLC roadmap | Is WWE 2K24 coming to Xbox Game Pass? | Is WWE 2K24 on Steam Deck? | Does WWE 2K24 have local multiplayer?

  • All Valheim bosses & how to summon them: From Moder to Bonemass to The Elder – Dexerto

    All Valheim bosses & how to summon them: From Moder to Bonemass to The Elder Iron Gate StudioLooking for info on Valheim’s bosses? Here’s a list of all of the game’s fiercest foes in order, as well as how to summon them and, most importantly, what loot you’ll get for slaying them. Despite its idyllic Nordic-inspired setting, Iron Gate Studio’s survival game, Valheim, is all about doing just that – surviving. Forcing you to tame boar and go fishing for supplies and resources, the lush emerald groves and icy fjords aren’t to be taken lightly. Danger lurks in every corner, including the mysterious bosses, the game’s most powerful enemies. Here’s a list of every Valheim boss and how to summon them, as well as their attributes and, of course, what treasures they’ll drop when you send them back to the depths. Contents All Valheim bosses in order & how to summon them Valheim has five bosses in total, each of which drop unique items. They require a few prerequisites to summon them, though, so don’t waste time running around looking for them if you don’t have the specific totems required. Additionally, every boss drops a unique power for your character to use. These are called Forsaken Powers, which activate once you’ve hung the boss’ trophy on its sacrificial stone. They last for 5 minutes, have a 2o second cooldown, and can be used one at a time by clicking ‘F‘. Each boss is listed below in the order that you encounter them, alongside how to summon them at their respective location. Eikthyr Location: Meadows Biome Go to Eikthyr’s Sacrifical stone, then look to the left at the glowing runestone (Vegvisir). Touch this and Eikthyr’s nearest summon location will be marked on your map. Then, head to the Altar. – – Summoning: Two Deer trophies (drop randomly from deer.) – Just as you can imagine given the items you need to summon it, Eikthyr is a large stag whose entire kit centers around electrical magic. It has 500HP, and three different attacks: Once you’ve defeated the king of the forest, you’ll receive an Eikthyr Trophy, 3 Hard Antlers and Eikthyr’s Forsaken Power. This reduces the stamina cost of running and jumping by 60%. The Elder Location: Black Forst Biome Visit Burial Grounds and stone structures to find the Runestone. – – Summoning: Obtain three ancient tree seeds and burn them at his Altar (dropped by Greydwarf Brutes, Greydwarf Nests, and Chests) – This fearsone tree-creature looks like Slenderman on steroids, and he’s really not pleased that you’re causing chaos in his forest. He has 2,500HP, and three different attacks: Taking down this terrifying tree demon will net you an Elder trophy, one swamp key per player, and the Elder’s Power. This allows the player to deal 60% more damage to trees using an ax. Bonemass Location: Swamp Biome Visit the Sunken Crypts or Stone Tower and touch the runestone there. – – Summoning: Place 10 Withered Bones at his alter (found in Muddy Scrap Piles and Sunken Crypts.) – Straight out of the swamp and ready to swallow you whole, Bonemass is a pretty unattractive-looking beast. Sporting 5000HP, this big guy may give you a run for your money if you aren’t careful: Defeating this particularly nasty hunk of gunk will earn you a Bonemass Trophy, a Wishbone, and Bonemass’ Forsaken Power. The latter provides a large level of physical resistance for five minutes. Moder Location: Mountain Biome Head to a high elevation area and look for ruined stone structures in order to find her Runestone. – – Summoning: Obtain three dragon eggs and place them in the bowls at her altar (found in nests) – note that the most you can carry is two at a time. – As beautiful as she is deadly, the dragon queen of the mountains, Moder, is a particularly fearsome foe. With a healthy 7,500HP, she has a range of combat abilities that will have you wishing you’d stayed home by the fire. Additionally, she can shift between being grounded or flying: Bringing the queen of the skies hurtling back down to earth will net you the Moder Trophy, 10 Dragon Tears and Moder’s Power. This grants you a tailwind when sailing. Yagluth Location: Plains Biome His runestone is located near standing stones. – – Summoning: Place five Fuling Totems at his sacrificial alter (found in Fuling Village and dropped by Fuling Berserkers) and read the red tablet. – Last but by no means least is the particularly creepy Yagluth, a goblin creature whose bottom half is skeletal but top half still has flesh. The toughest boss with 10,000HP, you’d better be ready for the fight of your lives, but thankfully he’s pretty slow. Additionally, be sure to chug the Fire Resistance Barley Wine before you take him on, as this will keep you safe from a lot of his damage. Sending this skeleton back to the depths will reward you with a Yagluth Trophy, 3 Yagluth Things (which currently has no use), and Yagluth’s Power. This increases your resistance to fire and lightning damage by around 50 – 75%. So that’s all of Valheim’s bosses, as well as how to summon them and what items they drop.

  • All upcoming XDefiant game modes: Leaks hint at Capture the Flag, S&D, more on the way – Dexerto

    All upcoming XDefiant game modes: Leaks hint at Capture the Flag, S&D, more on the way UbisoftXDefiant launched with five game modes in total, though plenty more appear to be in the works already. From a Capture the Flag playlist to a mirror of CoD’s ever-popular Search and Destroy, here’s what we know according to a range of leaks. When it comes to any FPS game worth its salt, you’ll often find a number of core game types across the board. Domination has been a staple in the genre for years now, as has the likes of Team Deathmatch, but devs often get quirky and add some unique innovations into the mix as well. With XDefiant, Ubisoft launched the game in full on May 21, 2024, with five game modes available in the Preseason phase. Domination, Hot Shot, Occupy, Escort, and Zone Control were all available right out of the gate, though it appears this is merely a small fraction of what’s on the way. Several leaks, largely plucked from the game’s code, have hinted at a wealth of additional modes on the way to XDefiant, many being incredibly popular in the FPS genre. Upcoming XDefiant game modes While nothing has yet been confirmed for the future of XDefiant, we do know new game modes will be drip-fed over the course of the game’s first year on the market. Exactly what order those modes release in is still anyone’s guess for now, but we do have an early idea of what to expect. Among the earliest teasers, XDefiant’s Executive Producer Mark Rubin confirmed a Search and Destroy-style, “1-life bomb mode” is indeed in the works. Reaffirming exactly that, prominent dataminer ‘AgainTx’ found evidence of a mode by the name of ‘Bomb Defusal’ in the game’s code. Beyond that, little else has been teased directly by the devs, but datamines have outed at least seven more game modes already in the works for XDefiant. Do take the following with a grain of salt as plans can always change during development and nothing is set in stone until confirmed by official sources. But for now, AgainTx has found mention of the following modes in XDefiant’s code: Team Elimination – Team Deathmatch – Juggernaut – Bomb Defusal (S&D) – Infection – Capture The Flag – King of The Hill – Naturally, many of these are staples in other FPS titles and shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Though just when we’ll see them in XDefiant is unclear for now. It’s likely we’ll see at least one new addition per season moving forward, perhaps as permanent additions, or as rotating playlists cycling in and out. For now, we’ll have to wait and see exactly what the XDefiant team has in store, but rest assured we’ll update you here with further details as they emerge.

  • All upcoming video game movies & TV shows: Trailers, info, 2022 & more – Dexerto

    All upcoming video game movies & TV shows: Trailers, info, 2022 & more 343 Industries, Gearbox, Naughty DogTV and video game movie adaptations are becoming much more frequent, so we’ve put together a handy home for all the latest info on the hottest upcoming video game movies and TV shows in 2022 and later. There was a time when video games being made into films were generally looked down upon by gamers, with many releases missing the charm of what ultimately made these games so popular in the first place. Fast forward to today, with shows like The Witcher doing well on Netflix and Sonic making a classic mascot look great, there are plenty of fantastic stories that gamers can look forward to watching at home and in the movie theater. As a result, studios like Netflix, Amazon, Paramount, and famous studios have started to make more video game movies. Here’s everything we know about these upcoming films and shows so far. Contents Upcoming video game movies in 2022 and beyond Mario – December 2023 This is Miyamoto. After consulting with Chris-san, my partner at Illumination on the Super Mario Bros. film, we decided to move the global release to Spring 2023–April 28 in Japan and April 7 in North America. My deepest apologies but I promise it will be well worth the wait. — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) April 26, 2022 The film that single-handedly started that Chris Pratt meme. The Hollywood actor will voice the titular character alongside Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach. Despite the never-ending success of the Mario franchise, this is only the third-ever Mario film to be made and the first since 1993. Not too much is known about it outside of its cast, but anticipation is undoubtedly sky-high, especially with animation geniuses Illumination Entertainment onboard. The film’s original 2022 release date has been rescheduled though and Spring 2023 is the new window. Interestingly, Chris Pratt has drummed up speculation by expressing that his portrayal of Mario won’t be “what fans expect,” which has both excited and confused Mario loyalists. Minecraft – TBA Minecraft is Mojang’s landmark franchise, so where’s the film? Originally penciled in for a 2022 release date, development was rumored to have stopped altogether, with Warner Bros. casting the film to one side. But suddenly, it appears as if Jason Mamoa is creeping his way to a shocking lead role in a potential Minecraft movie. This would catapult the potential film back into the limelight and maybe be given the green light too. Elden Ring – TBA One of the biggest games of 2022, FromSoftware’s Elden Ring has been an unbelievable success both commercially and critically. The game hadn’t been out all that long before talk of extended media options for Elden Ring were discussed. In a press release from the company, they said: “Much effort was placed into creating Elden Ring so that we could exceed the expectations of our fans worldwide. We will continue our efforts in expanding the brand beyond the game itself, and into everyone’s daily life.” This has already generated discussion that Elden Ring may come to the big screen at some point. The game’s incredibly detailed world would easily make a terrific story and the deep combat could potentially translate to some intense fight scenes. Tomb Raider 2 – TBA Despite not being a showstopping box office success, the Tomb Raider reboot starring Alicia Vikander had plenty of action to keep viewers on its toes – so much so that a sequel was commissioned. However, the effects of the pandemic hit the film’s development and production hard, leaving this video game movie still squarely on the table for now, and we haven’t heard from it much since. Borderlands – 2022 Setting a film in the Borderlands universe makes a lot of sense, as the likes of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and Tales From the Borderlands are chock full of characters and personalities that would make for a captivating watch. As such, it wasn’t a surprise to see an announcement from Lionsgate in 2015 that they were developing an adaptation of it. With a star-studded cast including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Jamie Lee Curtis, snippets of the film were finally, but privately, shown at CinemaCon 2022. You’d have to say that even though they are silhouettes, the costumes do seem rather on point. The first footage from the upcoming Borderlands movie was revealed at CinemaCon: pic.twitter.com/czwfbt2fXN — IGN (@IGN) April 30, 2022 Bioshock – TBA One of the newer announcements on our list, the combined tales of Bioshock’s Rapture, Columbia, and the upcoming fourth game, are near endless. After a five-year struggle to get the film made was effectively canceled in 2013, Netflix shocked gamers with the news that a full film was coming to Netflix. We’ll have to wait and see whether we’ll be off to Rapture or Columbia, but the initial tweet suggests it’s the former. “”We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.”” Netflix + BioShock. Would you kindly stay tuned? pic.twitter.com/Ke1oJQileX — Netflix Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) February 15, 2022 Metal Gear Solid – TBA Series creator Hideo Kojima first announced a video game movie version of Metal Gear Solid back at E3 2006, but it was stuck in development hell for a long time. The biggest sign of progress was on December 4th, 2020, when we learned that beloved Hollywood actor Oscar Isaac had signed on to play the role of Solid Snake. In an interview with GamesRadar, he told them that he took the role because of a love of the games. The franchise is known for its outlandish narratives, so it’ll be interesting to see how these translate to a movie. In March of 2022, Isaac was questioned about the MGS movie at a Moon Knight premiere and his answer suggested that it was still a long way off yet. Oscar Isaac, Solid Snake himself, told IGN “We’re climbing through air ducts, we’re looking for the story [of the Metal Gear Solid movie].”” https://t.co/BDe0xdQ2n2 pic.twitter.com/Y7hOJieK0K — IGN (@IGN) March 23, 2022 Gears of War – TBA Gears fans will be pleased to know the upcoming video game movie project is currently in development, but it’s widely reported that the game will follow a separate timeline and will essentially be a new story. That means we may not see Marcus Fenix and co. at all, but we’ll keep everything crossed for at least some kind of cameo. We did get some kind of update in March 2022 from one of the movie’s producers who said: “It’s something it’s been a passion of mine for a very long time. I think very soon there will be an announcement.” Five Night’s at Freddy’s – TBA Another video game movie project trapped in limbo, Five Nights at Freddy’s is a horror indie sensation about animatronics that hit unbelievable levels of popularity, leading to the license being picked up for a film. As with many game adaptations, the companies and staff involved have chopped and changed, but current distributor Bloomfield’s CEO has confirmed that it’s still in the pipeline. A few months after addressing the staus of the film, Blum had to once again shut down doubters of the film. Listen here, all you FNAF fanatics. Well, specifically the doubters. STOP DOUBTING — Jason Blum (@jason_blum) May 20, 2022 Call of Duty – TBA The biggest and most successful FPS franchise of all time is Call of Duty and it makes sense that it’s in the running for a movie adaptation. It’s remarkable that we haven’t seen a movie already, but if rumors and reports are to be believed, then it could be on the horizon. Not only that, but none other than Hollywood’s leading Action Hero – Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson ‘ is being linked to the film too, either in a starring or joint producing role. The Division – TBA On the other hand, The Division is not one that strikes as needing a film, especially with other bigger Tom Clancy names out there. Yet, Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain are in leading roles, and filming is now expected to commence this year. Jak and Daxter – TBA Similar to Bioshock, the revelation that Jak and Daxter will be washing their tuxedos for an inevitable premiere is new information for 2022. Following the release of the long-awaited Uncharted movie, its director, Ruben Fleischer, has confirmed that his next film will be focused on the iconic duo. https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1491514193660592136?s=20&t=MkOiUjUThagwl-oxBEPCVg Upcoming video game TV Shows in 2022 and beyond The Last of Us – 2023 The harrowing tales of The Last of Us Part I and Part II, and maybe in the future Part III, are custom-fit for TV. In an age of dark, violent shows with no boundaries, the story of Naughty Dog’s Joel and Ellie is ready for a wider audience. The critically acclaimed games are being brought to life on HBO, with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey occupying the main roles. Its release has suffered a setback, and now won’t be gracing our screens until 2023 at the earliest. With Nick Offerman confirmed to be taking over the role of Bill from Con O’Neill in The Last of Us TV series, here’s the complete confirmed cast list. Mr. Adler and Perry are new characters created for the show. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/qnLeRA5kyF— IGN (@IGN) December 9, 2021 The Witcher: Season 3 – TBA The Witcher’s Netflix debut was red hot, with millions having tuned into both seasons. It’s no surprise, then, that The Witcher Season 3 will continue Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt of Rivia. There is so much of the franchise’s lore and stories to tell that have gone unexplored, that The Witcher could be around for a few more seasons yet. Filing is already underway for the new season and even though it’s still unconfirmed at this point, we wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix were able to get The Witcher Season 3 on our screens before the end of 2023. Assassin’s Creed – TBA Whilst a video game movie for the iconic stealth-based franchise already released in 2016, starring Michael Fassbender, Netflix is bringing the Assassin’s Creed franchise to the comfort of our homes. Details are slim, but it’ll be interesting to see who ends up on the top billing for this upcoming Assassin’s Creed TV show. Netflix + Assassin’s Creed pic.twitter.com/0J5CbmlXKb — Netflix Portugal (@NetflixPT) October 28, 2020 Resident Evil – July 14, 2022 It seems that Netflix cannot get enough of Resident Evil, as they’re clearly not content with just Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, they’re also releasing a live-action Resident Evil series in 2022 to really delve into what makes the characters and locations so special. Previous Resident Evil video game movies haven’t had enough time to really get into the nooks and crannies of major characters, whereas an episodic show will likely be the perfect chance for newcomers to jump into the series’ deep lore. A trailer for the series was released getting fans amped up for the show! Splinter Cell – TBA Who would have thought that we could get a Splinter Cell video game TV series before a sequel to 2013’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist? That’s where it appears we’re headed. Netflix have brought in Derek Kolstad as its showrunner and writer-creator of John Wick – so we expect flashy, stylish sequences to adequately capture the essence of Sam Fisher’s badassery. The Splinter Cell TV show will explore new sides of Sam Fisher, says the managing director of Ubisoft Film & TV. “”Our creative license is not about reinventing what’s already been told. It rather lies in looking at those worlds through a different lens”” https://t.co/1Nh0Yu98M6 pic.twitter.com/cRA8XWow8m — Screen Rant (@screenrant) June 23, 2021 Arcane: Season 2 – 2022 https://twitter.com/arcaneshow/status/1462214285300432897?s=20&t=L8kK38E2VS7irBRE7ethNA Arcane, the spin-off from the League of Legends universe, currently sits at a dazzling score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Every aspect of the series was praised upon release, and fans deemed the long wait for the show to be more than worth it. Season 2 is currently in development, so let’s hope that it will see the light of day before the end of 2023. Knuckles – 2023 #SonicMovie3 is officially in development from @ParamountPics and @SEGA! Plus, next year a new original #Knuckles series with @IdrisElba is coming to #ParamountPlus. #SonicMovie2 hits theaters April 8! pic.twitter.com/M0EM3NNd2p — Paramount+ (@paramountplus) February 15, 2022 The Sonic The Hedgehog 2 movie isn’t even out yet and a third film is already confirmed, along with a Knuckles TV show spin-off on Paramount+. Whether it’s the allure of Idris Elba or not, there’s clearly some love being shown for Knuckles. Mass Effect – TBA Amazon are now squarely in the video game market, creating their own games like New World, but are now are set to expand that into TV shows for gaming fans, too. Rumors continue to rage on that the company is gearing up to create a Mass Effect TV series with three fan-favorite games (and Andromeda) to select material from. But just who will play Commander Shepherd? Superman and The Witcher star Henry Cavill has said he would “”love to”” be in a Mass Effect TV series as long as it’s handled well. Cavill had previously teased a Mass Effect script earlier this year.https://t.co/49GsarMJFy pic.twitter.com/0a4keQ09s5 — VGC (@VGC_News) December 13, 2021 Fallout – 2022 Another Amazon venture from the gaming space is the beloved AAA franchise known around the world — Fallout. Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic property will have the aid of Todd Howard, Director, and Executive Producer at Bethesda. While other details are scarce, we do know that production begins in 2022. Pokemon – TBA It’s 99% official at this point, but it seems as if Netflix is doing their own version of live-action Pokemon. Detective Pikachu was an interesting take on the usually animated representation of Pokemon, but it worked. As more details are revealed, we’ll share everything we know with you right here. God of War – TBA Sony Interactive Entertainment President Jim Ryan recently hosted a Q&A and announced that they had multiple Sony video game series in the works, one of those being a God of War TV adaptation. The only thing we know about Kratos’ first transition to the medium is that there will be copious amounts of god-slaying on Amazon Prime Video. Horizon Zero Dawn – TBA Next up from Sony’s movie project plans is Horizon, specifically, Horizon Zero Dawn. The game was aptly the dawning of a new franchise and pioneered by Guerilla Games, also known for the Killzone franchise. Aloy has become one of gaming’s most recognizable protagonists and the Horizon franchise is already well-established. It’ll be interesting to see how the world and robots of Horizon can be brought to life convincingly. Gran Turismo 7 – TBA The most surprising of Sony’s video game adaptations surely has to be Gran Turismo. Polyphony Digital’s franchise is up there as one of the best and most successful racing game video games series in history, maybe the biggest in both regards, but does it work as a TV show? Now, it could very well be a car show similar to Top Gear, so we’ll have to wait and see what they have planned. So, there you have it – that’s everything you need to know about all the upcoming video game movies and TV shows. Make sure to check back often for all of the latest news.

  • All UFL Football game player licenses, teams & stadiums explained – Dexerto

    All UFL Football game player licenses, teams & stadiums explained Strikerz IncHere’s a breakdown as to whether UFL Football has real player licenses in the new free-to-play game, plus a look at the authentic teams and stadiums, as well. In June 2024, the open beta for UFL, a free-to-play football game for consoles, opened up. The beta offered football fans a shot at playing the new team building game, which could be a considered a contender to EA FC 24 and Football Ultimate Team. However, UFL players will notice key differences with the new game. Aside from the fact that it doesn’t have the same features as compared to EA FC, there are also differences among what teams and stadiums are available. Here’s a breakdown on what UFL players should know about licenses for players, teams, and stadiums. Contents Players UFL is a team-building game by nature, as the game’s ranked mode requires players to assemble a group of players for the starting lineup and subs. We should note right off the bat that UFL does have player rights for many of the game’s brightest stars. Among the notable names in UFL include Kevin de Bruyne, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Vinicius Jr., Kai Havertz, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, and Martin Odegaard, among others. However, these players are featured without their team branding, and we’ll get more into that in a minute. Individuals can purchase these players through the Transfers Market. UFL also includes Cristiano Ronaldo, an investor in the game, as the cover athlete. Teams As of the UFL beta, the only licensed team in the free-to-play game is AS Monaco of the Ligue 1. Those who played the beta were able to purchase the team’s home kit for 2023-24, which came with multiple shirts and sock options. It’s a stark contrast for EA FC, which features virtually all of the team and kit licenses for the major clubs in LaLiga, the Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A, with some exceptions. eFootball PES also has deals with several major clubs, as well. UFL also features the kits for Hashtag United FC, an English semi-pro team. Stadiums Stadium licenses have virtually the same issue. The only officially licensed pro stadium in UFL Is Stade Louis II, the home venue for AS Monaco. Here’s a listing of all the stadiums in UFL: Stade Louis II – Het Knuspark – Emerald Stadium – Hashtag United Stadium – Sakura Ground – Stade Pantagruel – Keep in mind, however, that this information can change given that UFL is in the beta stage.

Port I’Hermine will take you to the Oubliette Outpost (south), where you’ll have to go north until you come across a torch. There, just follow the light to the treasure containing silver, Melusine’s Pose, and more. Finally, for Agent’s Clues, travel to the Sunken Goldmine Outpost (west) and follow the marked path until you see a bonfire. The treasure will be next to the X. Common Treasure Maps Common maps, though less rare, still offer valuable loot. The Reef Sea map, while its rewards remain TBD, hints at a treasure southwest of the Sacred Tree. Such maps require keen observation and a bit of footwork around landmarks like the Lost City of Prei, Royal Burial Ground, Fort Louis, and Tenina Coast, promising rewards for those willing to explore. Old Treasure Maps Old Treasure Maps, like the Sultanate of Sohar, demand a keen eye for detail. Located in Elder’s Cave Outpost (southwest), following the clues precisely leads you to a cache hidden beneath a palm tree, offering silver, Melusine’s Splendor, and more. These maps challenge your deduction skills, rewarding patience and attention to detail with rich loot. Recent Treasure Maps Recent Treasure Maps in Skull and Bones guide players directly to treasures with clear clues, such as “Southwest of the Sacred Tree in Reef Sea.” These maps require players to match the instructions with known locations, offering a straightforward path to riches. Upon reaching the correct location, players receive a confirmation, simplifying the treasure hunt. While easier to follow, the journey to these treasures is filled with dangers from both the environment and enemy encounters. Legendary Treasure Maps Legendary Treasure Maps are the most sought-after and challenging to decipher in Skull and Bones, reserved for the elite pirate who dares to embark on high-risk adventures. These maps are rewards from challenging PvP and PvE events, leading to the game’s most valuable treasures. Deciphering these maps requires a mix of cunning, knowledge of the game’s lore, and combat readiness for the obstacles that guard the treasure. Navigating the treacherous waters and elusive clues of Skull and Bones treasure maps is no small feat. Yet, with this guide, you’re better equipped to chase down those red beams of light signaling untold riches. How to activate a Treasure Map in Skull and Bones When you acquire a Treasure Map, all you have to do to read it is disembark on an outpost and activate the maps’ search area. Use the right joystick to move the camera around and search for a red beam of light, which will indicate where the treasure is hidden. Follow it and dig up the loot you’ve been looking for.

  • All Tomb Raider 1 Remastered Cog locations – Dexerto

    All Tomb Raider 1 Remastered Cog locations AspyrFinding all the cogs in Tomb Raider 1 Remastered is required to pass the third level, Lost Valley. Here is how to find all the cogs and where to take them. Tomb Raider 1 is a classic, coming from a period of gaming where puzzle solutions were sometimes a little difficult to understand. Those aspects are still present in the remastered version of the game, with some puzzles being quite tricky to understand. In the game’s third level, Lost Valley, you will find a mechanism missing three vital cogs required to open up the next part of the level. These cogs are located around the level, and you must use your combat and acrobatic skills to find them. If you’re stuck trying to locate these three items, we have all the cog locations in Tomb Raider 1 for you. All Tomb Raider 1 Remastered Cog locations There are three cogs you need to locate in Lost Valley to activate the mechanism: One is located in an old ruin, underneath a body of water – One is located on a high ledge across from a broken bridge – One is located in a cave near the waterfall – To reach them, follow the water away from the mechanism and down the waterfall. From here, head into a small tunnel and climb up a steep ledge. Follow the cave system until you come into an outside area. There will be two velociraptors here, so be sure to kill them with Lara’s pistols. If you had already picked up the shotgun earlier, we recommend not wasting the ammo on these enemies. Keep following the path until you come to another clearing underneath a broken wooden bridge. You’ll come face-to-face with a T-rex. Circle the T-rex while pumping it full of pistol shots. If you have the shotgun, you can use that here too. Once the T-rex is dead, head to the back of the forest and kill two more velociraptors that descend from the ruins. Inside the ruins is the first cog, at the bottom of the water. Press the action button to pick it up. Leave the ruins the way you came, and once outside climb a wall to your right. Head up to the broken bridge and leap across. The second cog is located up here. Finally, jump down and drop into a cave near the waterfall. The final cog is located here, along with another velociraptor. Take all three cogs back to the mechanism and interact with each missing space to add them. Then you’ll be able to pull the lever and continue with the level.

  • All sports included in Nintendo Switch Sports & upcoming DLC – Dexerto

    All sports included in Nintendo Switch Sports & upcoming DLC NintendoThere are loads of sports included in Nintendo Switch Sports, from Bowling to Badminton, so here’s everything you’ll be able to play from launch day and beyond. Almost two decades after Wii Sports crash-landed on the Nintendo Wii and became one of the most iconic party games of all time, the franchise is heading to Switch with another sequel, Nintendo Switch Sports. There are upgraded graphics, new Sportsmate avatars, and online play – but of course, the most important thing to consider when jumping into the game’s Spocco Square hub is “What sports are included?” As well as classics like Bowling and Tennis, there are new sports to enjoy including Soccer and Badminton, with even more planned for the future. Here are all of the sports you can play in Nintendo Switch Sports. Contents All sports included in Nintendo Switch Sports Below you’ll find details of every sport included in Nintendo Switch Sports that you’ll be able to play on launch day, including screenshots and how many players they support. Badminton The first new sport included in this game is Badminton, which allows two players to duke it out to see who rules the court. Hold the Joy-Con like a racket, swing left and right to keep the shuttlecock in the air, and unleash smash shots or sneaky drop shots to mystify your opponents and score points. Bowling Bowling was arguably the most iconic mode on Wii Sports, so it’s no surprise to see it return in Nintendo Switch Sports with up to 16 players able to take part. The Joy-Con offers better accuracy when rolling curveballs or trying to hit that final pin, and there are loads of tricky challenges for solo players to enjoy. Chambara In Chambara, two players pick up a sword and battle it out by swinging their Joy-Con to attack and block their opponent’s strikes, with the aim being to knock them into the water below. There are three weapon options, including Twin Swords which can be wielded with two separate Joy-Con controllers. Soccer (Football) If you fancy yourself a football champion, prove your skills with the new Football mode with one-on-one and four-on-four matches where up to eight players can get involved. There’s also a Shoot-Out mode that makes use of the Leg Strap, and compatibility will be added to regular matches this summer. Tennis Another returning mode in Nintendo Switch Sports is Tennis, which supports up to four players. Timing is everything in this classic sport if you want to win, as you swing your Joy-Con like a racket while adding topspin or slice to your shots to try and catch your opponents off-guard. Volleyball The final new sport available is Volleyball, where up to four players can take to the court to serve, bump, set, and spike the ball into the opponent’s side of the court using the Joy-Con. In this mode, co-operation is key as you work together to outspeed and overwhelm the other team. All upcoming DLC sports in Nintendo Switch Sports There’s currently one more sport planned for the game, and that’s Golf. This was another favorite in the original Wii Sports, so longtime fans will be glad to hear it’s making a return. While the initial release window was Autumn 2022, Golf slipped a little later — it’ll now arrive on November 28, and feature 21 holes and a new Survival Golf mode. In Survival Golf, players hit their shots simultaneously, and the player who takes the most shots is eliminated each time. We’ll keep this page updated if any new sports are announced in the future, but in the meantime, check out our Nintendo Switch Sports review to get our thoughts on the game.

  • All Stances in Black Myth: Wukong & best one to use – Dexerto

    All Stances in Black Myth: Wukong & best one to use Game ScienceIn order to take down bosses in Black Myth: Wukong, you’ll need the best spells, abilities, and most importantly, the best Stance. There’s so much to combat in Black Myth: Wukong. Whether it’s shapeshifting, perfectly dodging, using spells to freeze the enemy in place, or timing a Stance attack perfectly, each element has to come together in order for you to defeat what’s in front of you. However, to do that, it’s vital you understand what each Stance can grant you, as they have a pivotal impact on the outcome of your fight. It’s also equally as important to know the best Stance in the game. All Stances in Black Myth Wukong There are three Stances available to choose from in Black Myth Wukong, with each offering a different benefit in combat: Smash Stance – Pillar Stance – Thrust Stance – Smash Stance explained The Smash Stance prioritizes damage over anything else, dealing a massive amount to an enemy further away on the battlefield through a series of flips and one final smash. However, this comes at the cost of charging your attack, which can leave you open. As you level your stance up, you can engage Resolute Strike, which nullifies an enemy’s damage when timed correctly. You’ll also get Skyfall Strike, a great attack from on high that deals some extremely impressive damage. Pillar Stance explained While the Smash Stance focuses solely on damage, the Pillar Stance dives into a mixture of offense and defense. It does this by placing the Destined One higher up in the air, before bringing the staff crashing down onto the enemy’s head. Leveling up the Stance grants Sweeping Gale, where you spin around the Staff, kicking all nearby enemies. You can also unlock Churning Gale, which takes the kicks of Sweeping Gale and finishes it with a powerful final heavy strike. Thrust Stance explained Thrust Stance takes more inspiration from the Smash Stance, focusing on heavy damage, but from a further distance. Unlike the Smash Stance, players can use this to charge into the enemy, releasing a heavy attack into them from range. What’s more, you also stay further away, making it a little more defensive too. Putting Sparks into this Stance will unlock Whirling Thrusts, which can bring you right back into the action after dodging away, beating the enemy with a barrage of small strikes. On top of this, you can unlock Lucky Strike, which turns the Destined One invincible for a short while. Best Stance in Black Myth Wukong The best Stance in Black Myth Wukong is undeniably the Pillar Stance. Not only does it deal some fantastic damage, stunning the enemy on occasion, but it’s the perfect combination between offense and defense. This is primarily because it places you higher up off the ground, meaning your staff takes those hits rather than you. Of course, some attacks will still hit you, but that’s just a matter of learning when you can use a Stance to avoid or when you need to dodge. Combining Sweeping Gale with Churning Gale deals a fantastic amount of damage. When used together, the Destined One becomes quite the powerhouse, especially when you add some potent abilities and spells to the equation. It’s worth noting that this doesn’t mean the Smash Stance or Thrust Stance are bad. Given their easy access, it’s worth unlocking them all and trying them out. After all, one enemy may be best dealt with up close, while another may require some distance, making the Thrust Stance perfect. So, that’s all you need to know about Stances in Black Myth Wukong. While working to unlock every Stance or level up your favorite, be sure to check out all the game’s achievements to ensure you get the most out of the adventure.

Players are dispatched to save a millionaire who has gone missing in this sequel to the critically acclaimed The Forest, only to wind themselves marooned on the island themselves. In Sons of the Forest, surviving means not just enduring the weather but also fending off dangerous cave creatures and cannibals.

The first two items are quite easy to find. The rope on the other hand can be found inside caves, enemy camps, or along the coastline. Crafted Spear You will require 2x Sticks, 1x Duct Tape, and a Knife to craft a crafted spear. All these materials are quite easy to come by and can be found on the beach, in forests, or by chopping down trees. Crafted Club The crafted club is yet another simple tool that you can craft and use very early on in the game. All you need to craft this weapon is 1x Stick, 1x Skull, and 1x Rope.

  • All Sons of the Forest endings explained & how to get secret ending – Dexerto

    All Sons of the Forest endings explained & how to get secret ending Endnight GamesSons of the Forest may be an open-world survival experience but it does have an ending, in fact, it has more than one for players to discover – so here are all the Sons of the Forest endings as well as how to get that secret finale. Despite the limitless nature of Sons of the Forest, players and their friends are able to complete the game once they’ve grabbed the required kit like a Shovel and a Rope Gun. However, with there being more than one ending and a relatively rushed final sequence, many will wonder what they could have achieved had they made different choices. So, here’s an explanation of all the endings in the game as well as how many there are, just in case you want to head back into that fated forest and try to get them all. Contents How many endings are there in Sons of the Forest? Altogether there are three possible endings in Sons of the Forest: The bad, the good, and the secret ending. To get these endings you’ll first need to collect the Maintenance Keycard and the VIP Keycard. Then, head over to the bunker in the south and enter the mysterious cube. This will reveal a safety cube, allowing you to not meet the same fate as the other monsters on the island. Shortly after, you will wake up and be made to choose which ending you want to follow through with. Each ending is explained below. Fight Demons ending explained The first ending, often regarded as the bad ending, will leave you on the island where you’ll be stuck fighting the monsters forever. This ending is achieved by retrieving the backpack, in which the helicopter will leave without you and you’ll get the Fight Demons achievement. Fought Demons ending explained The Fought Demons ending, often regarded as the good ending, occurs much in the same way as the Fight Demons ending. However, instead of choosing to retrieve the backpack, you’ll end up leaving it and heading into the helicopter. This will allow you to get off the island and be saved, granting you the Fought Demons achievement. The Secret Sons of the Forest ending explained The secret ending requires a fair amount of preplanning and a lot of exploration. First, you’ll need to get Virginia as a companion and keep Kelvin alive throughout your run through the game. Then, when you get to the end of the game and the helicopter is present, board it and your companions will come with you. This way everyone stays alive and you’ll get the Keep Your Friends Close achievement. Due to how much planning and care you have to take, this is often regarded as the secret ending. If you get Virginia as a companion and don’t let Kelvin die, both of them will board the helicopter with you. This secret ending will grant you the ‘Keep Your Friends Close’ achievement.

  • All Shapeshifting forms in Black Myth: Wukong – Dexerto

    All Shapeshifting forms in Black Myth: Wukong Game ScienceBlack Myth: Wukong allows players to shapeshift into some of the bosses they’ve defeated. In this guide, we will cover each one and how to unlock it. Those familiar with Journey to the West, the 16th-century novel that inspired Black Myth: Wukong, will know that Sun Wukong can shapeshift into different creatures. Game Science has used this intriguing piece of lore and made it into a game mechanic. Black Myth: Wukong features a total of 91 bosses. This includes the difficult Wandering Wight, and the frustrating Whiteclad Noble. While you can’t transform into all of them, there are certain bosses you can shapeshift into and use their powers. You can use this ability in two primary ways, spells or spirits. Both of these are obtained by defeating bosses. So, here’s every form the Destined One can shapeshift into. All Spell transformations in Black Myth: Wukong Wolf Guai: Red Tides How to unlock: Defeat Guangzhi and pick up his fiery dual blade to unlock the Wolf Guai transformation. Location: Head to Outside the Forest Shrine and travel up the hill through the forest area to reach a small bridge. Cross the bridge to find Guangzhi’s lair. This is one of the first transformations you will unlock. The light attack, Moon Dance, allows you to throw a barrage of slash attacks while building up Focus. On the other hand, the heavy attack Moon Chase allows you to launch a series of dash attacks. You can also follow up your dodge with a special heavy attack when at full Focus. Rock Guai: Azure Dust How to unlock: Complete the Man-in-Stone side quest. Location: After defeating King of Flowing Sands and Second Rat Prince in Sandgate Village, find the Squall Hideout Shrine by crossing the rope bridge. Once there, walk down the path heading to the ravine and you’ll see the Man-in-Stone boss. The Azure Dust Spell has a special ability that grants you immunity to all four Banes. These are the game’s status effects, so you’ll be protected by any of them using this transformation. Other than that, you have a few cool attacks. Your Light Attack, Earth Shatter, has you smash into an enemy thrice with your head. Mountain Splitter is your Heavy Attack, which has you ram forwards into any enemies in your pathway. You also get a cool spell called Rockfall that can trigger if you build up enough Focus for it. It’ll cause you to jump and crash into the ground for a large AoE attack. Rat Guai: Ashen Slumber How to unlock: Defeat the Third Rat Prince boss in Chapter Three. Location: First, speak to the rat NPC inside of a house in Sandgate Village in Chapter Two who will tell you to defeat the First and Second Rate Prince bosses. Talk to him again to learn about the Third Rat Prince. In Chapter Three, complete the prisoner quest and the Great Pagoda Realm wards. Find the Third Rat Prince through a small tunnel where you found the prisoner. The Unique Talent of this spell is its Rage Burst, where each talent level will slightly increase the Scorch damage you deal (it has six ranks in total). Your Light Attack, Chop Wood, has you slash your blade in front of you, and your Heavy Attack, Blow Fire, makes you breathe fire from your mouth if you hold this attack button down. Fiery Burst is the Spell you gain with Ashen Slumber, and it makes you explode out of your transformation to deal huge AoE damage to nearby enemies. Yin Tiger: Ebon Flow How to unlock: Defeat the Yin Tiger boss in Chapter Three. Location: After finishing Chen Loong’s side quest, you’ll be able to enter the Painted Realm. This is where you can fight Yin Tiger. The Unique Talent for Ebon Flow grants you Cold Edge, which reduces the cooldown of all your Alteration Spells. Then your special trait grants you deflection and teleport dash moves. The Light Attack, Onslaught Blade, has you deal slow but devastating swipes that build up your Focus. Rift Cleaver, your Heavy Attack, is a brutal blow that takes a while to charge, but the higher your Focus, the more damage you deal. Your Spell, Windwalker, will convert all your Focus into swiftness, and any dodges you do turn you into gusts of wind. During the Windwalker state, your Light Attack is called Stormsurge, and it lets you close in on a target to deal a huge blow. Monk from the Sea: Hoarfrost How to unlock: Defeat Monk from the Sea boss. Location: In Chapter Three, find the New Thunderclap Temple and find this boss by walking along the path to your right. While Snow Veil, your Unique Talent, makes each level slightly increase the Frost damage you deal (has six ranks), the Trait you get makes your attacks inflict the Frost Bane on enemies. Tentacle Flick is your Light Attack, which has you hit enemies with your tentacles to build Focus. Then your Heavy Attack, Tentacle Sweep, is a huge swinging attack that also gains Focus. Your Spell, Ice Sheet, uses all the Focus you have to create a large sheet of ice around you which inflicts the Frost Bane on anyone standing on it. While standing on Ice Sheet you have special Light and Heavy Attacks, Snowball Fight, and Avalanche, respectively. Macaque Chief: Umbral Abyss How to unlock: Complete Chapter Three. Umbral Abyss has the Unique Talent Red Eyes. This slightly increases your attack for a long duration after defeating an enemy and can stack up to 30 times (has two ranks). Meanwhile, the Transformation’s Trait will inflict Frost Bane with each attack. Your Light Attack has you deal quick slashes with your blade, the final slash dealing even more damage to give you tons of Focus. Your Heavy Attack is a stronger, but slower attack that also gives you Focus. Cold Heart is your Spell that puts you into the Cold-Hearted state. This state buffs your attacks and allows you to turn into mist whenever you dodge. It also allows you to close the gap on an enemy and deal a huge strike of damage. Yellow Loong: Golden Lining How to unlock: Defeat Yellow Loong in Chapter Four. Location: Fight this boss at the Relief of the Fallen Loong Shrine, but you must first get the Loong Scale. This will have you fight the first three Loong bosses. Lightning Flash, your Unique Talent, increases your invincibility duration while you see through an enemy. Then your Trait allows you to see through enemies and grants immunity to Shock and Thunder Bane attacks. Lightning Dance is your Light Attack, and you can slash foes in quick succession. Fatal Shadow, your Heavy Attack, has you charge up an attack to deal a fatal strike upon an enemy. Death Trilogy is your Heavy Attack, which replaces Fatal Shadow only if you perform it with at least one Focus Point. You’ll leap into the air to crash down onto an enemy with your Thunder-infused weapon. Also, if you follow up a Light Attack with a Heavy one, you’ll build up a Focus Point and you can see through an enemy’s move to counter it. Worm Guai: Violet Hail How to unlock: Defeat Daoist Mi during Chapter Four. Location: Discover the Purple Cloud Mountain secret area after defeating Venom Daoist twice (once in Pool of Shattered Jade and then in Temple of Yellow Flowers). You’ll find Daoist Mi here. Filthy Malice, your Unique Talent, increases your Poison damage with each level (has six ranks). Then your Transformation Trait grants Poison immunity, Poison Bane on your attacks, and the Self-Torment ability. While your Light Attack has you slash your opponent like usual, Self-Torment is your Heavy Attack which lowers your HP slightly to then imbue your blade with up to four larvae to inflict upon your enemies. The Spell Hive Mind allows you to make all the larvae explode to instantly deal damage, which then recovers some of your lost health. You can also make your larvae explode by de-transforming. Horse Guai: Dark Thunder How to unlock: Rescue Horse Guai in Chapters One to Five. The Transformation Trait for Dark Thunder grants you Thunder immunity, and all your attacks inflict the Thunder Bane. Lightning Lashes is your Light Attack which lashes the enemy ahead of you to build Focus. Thunderbolt Sweep, the Heavy Attack, has you successively lash enemies around to give you even more Focus. With your Spell, Lightning Infusion, you’ll go into the Thrilled State after getting your whip infused with Thunder. Thunder Flurry and Thunder Dominion become your Light and Heavy Attacks, respectively. While Thunder Flurry makes each lash whip call forth a lightning strike, Thunder Dominion conjures a Thunder Formation to intermittently strike enemies within your reach. Stone Monkey: Azure Dome How to unlock: Find the secret ending and defeat the Stone Monkey final boss. Indestructible, your Unique Talent, immensely increases your resistance against the four Banes. Then your Trait grants immunity to Shock and Poison, and you can convert Frost and Scorch to empower yourself. Primal Punch is your Light Attack, and it has you unleash a flurry of punches that build up Focus. Then your Heavy Attack, Earthshatter Slam, makes you leap up and crash down onto the enemy while restoring some of your health. You also get the Spell Monkey Mind, which allows you to cast Spells based on those you have equipped. You can use Rock Slide or Cloud Step, and even A Pluck of Many. When you choose between Immobilize or Ring of Fire, you can imbue your fists with Ice or Fire respectively. All Spirit transformations in Black Myth: Wukong Spirits are temporary transformations that allow the use of an attack from the boss you defeated, after which the transformation goes away. Only one Spirit can be equipped at a time, which comes with a passive effect that works even when you’re not transformed. Spirits are obtained after defeating certain bosses. You can absorb these spirits using the Blessed Gourd, which is unlocked after speaking to the wise master on the Snake Trail of the Bamboo Grove. Chapter One Spirits Chapter Two Spirits Chapter Three Spirits Chapter Four Spirits Chapter Five Spirits Now that you know how to get every Spell and Spirit Shapeshift in Black Myth: Wukong, try out our other guides that teach you how to level up quickly and which skills from the skill tree are best to unlock.

  • All Sekiro endings: How to get good, bad, and best ending – Dexerto

    All Sekiro endings: How to get good, bad, and best ending From SoftwareSekiro features a variety of endings, each sadder than the last. However, it is possible to save everyone. Here’s how to unlock all 4 of Sekiro’s endings. As with any FromSoftware game, the player’s actions dictate which ending you unlock in Sekiro. In truth, most Sekiro endings are pretty bleak, with the player needing to make a sacrifice somewhere. However, it’s up to you what that is. While most Sekiro endings are largely open to player interpretation, the game does feature some positive endings. Although Sekiro also has 3 other endings, one considered good, neutral, and bad. Here’s how to unlock all endings in Sekiro – naturally, spoilers await ahead. Contents Shura: Bad ending Sekiro’s Shura ending is considered the bad ending. It ultimately ends with Sekiro being possessed by a demonic force and letting Kuro die. It’s also the easiest one to get, here’s what you have to do. Towards the end of the game, you will need to go back to the roof of Ashina Castle. This is where the Genichiro battle took place. You’ll need to do this once you’ve gathered the items to cure the immortal plague. Once you arrive, you’ll find the Great Shinobi Owl from the Hirata estate. The Owl will offer you a choice, you can choose to obey the Shinobi iron code and leave Kuro to their fate or break the code to save them. Should you choose to abandon Kuro, you’ll need to fight two bosses, Emma and Isshin. Once they are defeated, the bad ending will play out. Immortal Severance: Neutral ending Immortal Severance is the normal, neutral ending that most people will see in their first playthrough of Sekiro. Like above, once you arrive at the Ashina Castle roof, you’ll meet the Owl. This time, however, choose not to forsake Kuro and defeat the Owl in combat. In this ending, Kuro will be saved and Sekiro won’t turn to the dark side, but could there be a better conclusion to the story? Purification: Good ending Sekiro’s Purification ending is considered a better ending than Immortal Severance despite it’s bitter-sweet nature, but it’s harder to unlock. To get it, you’ll need to do some additional work. Playing the game in a stealthy manner is also a good way to get this ending, as it involves eavesdropping on a lot of NPCs. First, reject the Owl’s offer as if you were heading towards the Immortal Severance ending. Beat the Owl in combat, then head back to Isshin’s dojo across the rooftops of Ashina Castle to where Isshin and Emma are talking and eavesdrop on their conversation. Now go back to Kuro’s Room and eavesdrop on them. You can do this by hugging the door and hearing them speak freely, which was not intended for your ears. After this, go and talk to Emma at the top of the stairs near Kuro’s room. She will propose an alternative to the neutral ending. Unlocking the good ending Heal up and then talk to Emma a second time to max out her dialogue. Now, fast travel to the Old Grave idol and stick to the left, heading through the arch to where the two graves are located. Emma will be waiting for you here, talk to her again and then fast travel to the Dilapidated Temple. Head to the sculptor’s abode and stealthily peer through the window to eavesdrop on another secret conversation. Now talk to Emma again to receive a new bell item. This will change the memory of the Hirata Estate to something new. With this in mind, head back to the Hirata Estate, kill the two elite enemies and meet with the Owl in the arena where you defeated the Lady Butterfly boss. The Owl has learned some new tricks since your last encounter, so don’t underestimate them. Once the Owl is defeated again, you will be given an Everblossom branch item that you can use on Kuro to trigger the purification ending. Return: Best ending This ending is easier to unlock than the Purification ending, but still features some additional work. Once again, choose not to forsake Kuro and defeat the Owl in battle. However, to unlock the Return ending you’ll need to get three Great Serpent hearts and feed them to the Divine Child, this way they can serve as a cradle for Kuro once they lose their immortality, meaning Kuro can survive their purification. Finding the first Serpent Heart First warp to Senpou Temple and head right. You’ll spot a monk standing on the bridge. If you explore to the left of the monk, you’ll discover a kite mechanism guarded by a rat monster. By this point, you should have acquired the Puppeteer Ninjutsu skill after defeating the Folding Screen Monkeys boss. Use the skill on rat boy to have him fly the kite for you. This will create a shortcut across the chasm for you to take. Read More: Everything we know about Elden Ring – After that, head through Senpou until you find the old woman who wants some rice. To her left, there will be a tree that you can use to grapple across to the valley area. Head through the valley until you come to the massive drop that’s guarded by the Great Serpent. He’s chilling and won’t notice you if you’re stealthy. Send him to the great beyond to collect your first heart item. Finding the second Serpent Heart Fast travel to the Bodhisvatta Valley idol, where you defeated the Guardian Ape boss. Then, head through the poison area instead of entering the arena. You’ll find the Toxic Memorial Mob vendor and a cave nearby. He’ll warn you not to enter – but do anyway. Stealthily sneak through the cave until you see the giant snake. Drop down to the left where the dancing monkey is hanging out. Use Deathblow and puppeteer ninjutsu on the monkey, this will get the big snake’s attention and cause him to move towards it. An area will appear behind the snake once it moves, allowing you to claim your second Serpent Heart. Finding the final Serpent Heart Fast travel to the Temple Grounds idol and head down and then to the left. You’ll see a large pool of water. Use the Mibu technique to breathe underwater and dive in to pick up the item at the bottom. The aim here is to pick up a mysterious scroll, however, you may have already picked this up elsewhere in your playthrough, if so, you’ll be rewarded with a prayer bead instead. Now travel to the Inner Sanctum where the Divine Child is waiting and give her the scroll. Follow her into the Hall of Illusions and talk to her again. You may need to rest to get her to move. Read More: How long is Sekiro? Survival tips and tricks – She’ll tell you to go into the cave next to the Main Hall of the Senpou Temple. Once you’re there, approach the big drop, and turn around to find a secret route. In here you’ll find a skeleton in a purple robe holding an item. Take this and give it to the Divine Child for her to give you the final Serpent Heart. She’ll also agree to be Kuro’s cradle. Now progress through to the final boss like normal, but when prompted, use the Divine Dragon Tears and Frozen Tears on Kuro. This will unlock the Return ending, this way, Sekiro, Kuro, and the Divine Child will all survive the story together – as well as saving the world.
