DC superheroes who deserve their own games DC comicsThe DC Universe is filled with incredible superheroes and terrifying villains, and we can’t help but think some of these characters deserve their own games. If you knew nothing about DC superheroes, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Batman and the expanded Bat-Family were the only characters worthy of their own game. After all, there have been plenty of amazing Batman games released in recent years, but other DC heroes haven’t been so lucky. Characters like The Flash, Wonder Woman, and even Green Lantern are just as iconic as the Dark Knight and his gaggle of adopted orphans, but they’ve been rather neglected by developers. Yes, we know they all made an appearance in the Injustice franchise, but we’re talking about solo efforts here, not being another face in a fighting game roster. So, with that in mind, we’ve put together a list of five DC heroes we believe have earned the right to their own game. 5. The Flash Every DC fan knows how lovable, intelligent, and incredibly fast The Flash is! Those three reasons should be more than enough to justify ‘the Fastest Man Alive’ getting his own game, but there’s so much more to The Flash than running fast. The Flash boasts one of the most distinctive rogues galleries in all of comics, including iconic villains like Reverse Flash, Captain Cold, and Mirror Master. Each of these characters has a rich and layered history with the Flash, and I believe an adaptation of any of their storyline would make a brilliant basis for a single-player story. Imagine how cool it would be to play an Arkham-like title where you’re The Flash using Speed Force powers to take down villains. We’ve already got a taste of how impressive this could be through movies like The Flashpoint Paradox, so a game where players were allowed to squeeze into the Scarlet Speedster’s golden boots could be incredibly fun. 4. Green Arrow On the surface, Green Arrow is a similar character to Batman, and the pair share a similar set of methods and morals, so a game featuring the DCU’s premier archer may seem a bit of a dull choice. Yet beneath the superficial similarities, there’s a fundamental difference between the way Green Arrow and the Dark Knight operate. The Emerald Archer has a unique philosophy, essentially operating as a modern Robin Hood, which would present some really compelling story opportunities, while his archery skills and trick arrows could make the gameplay distinct from other superhero titles. Honestly, I think Stephen Amell’s CW show did a great job of bringing Star City’s verdant vigilante, and fans loved it. So, if this hypothetical Green Arrow adventure could capture the spirit of that show, it would be a real crowd-pleaser. 3. Wonder Woman Hailing from Themyscira, better known as the Island of the Amazons, Wonder Woman is a powerful hero and a founding member of the Justice League alongside the likes of Batman and Superman. Her status as a member of DC’s Trinity alone should justify her getting her own game, but Wonder Woman opens the door to the more magical side of the DC Universe, a world that’s often neglected. Getting to play a Wonder Woman game that delves into the more mythical side of the character — Diana is no stranger to gods, monsters, and magic — could breathe some fantastical fresh life into the tech-obsessed superhero genre. Ideally, we’d want something similar to the wonderful God of War series from Santa Monica Studio that brilliantly balanced action-packed gameplay with a compelling story. 2. Green Lantern Although we are yet to see a proper live-action adaptation of The Green Lantern (Yes, I’m ignoring 2011’s movie, sorry, Ryan Renolds), a title based on this DC character could fill the emerald void in diehard fan’s hearts. In the comics, Hal Jordan and John Stewart are among the most popular human Green Lanterns, and a game where we get to know either of these space cops as they travel through the cosmos, busting sci-fi baddies, would be an amazing experience. In our wildest dreams, we imagine something like LA Noire, where Hal and John solve impossible cases and bring emerald justice to the galaxy. Don’t go thinking this hypothetical game would be all paperwork, though. These ring bearers let no evil escape their might, and they regularly go up against some of the mightiest villains in the galaxy — including Brainiac, Sinestro, and the Red Lantern Corps — so there’d be plenty of action to break up the police work. 1. Superman We know there have been plenty of Superman titles over the years, but they’ve been rubbish, and it’s about time we got a decent, dedicated Superman game. Insomiac’s Spider-Man series could be a great source of inspiration here. Imagine an open-world Metropolis (perfect for flying around) where you can take to the skies as the Man of Steel or switch to Clark Kent anytime you like. You could save the Earth and do investigative reporting at the same time! We’d also love a game that took the time to explore the unique relationship between Superman and Batman. These two men developed a deep respect for each other, and if the Dark Knight made a cameo, well, you could take our money now. Really, though, the sky’s the limit with Supes, as he’s never really got his time to shine in the world of video games. The only thing we’d definitely want is access to all of his powers. Don’t just give us super strength and flight and then call it a day, if we’re playing as Superman we want to feel like Superman.

We’ve also got an article breaking down all the upcoming DC movies, including James Gunn’s Superman and The Batman 2.

DayZ shockingly breaks its player count a decade after standalone release Bohemia InteractiveSurvival game DayZ has just broken its all-time player count record over a decade since the multiplayer title first went live. DayZ became an instant hit back in 2012, the original mod so popular that it then evolved into a fully-fledged game in its own right. The multiplayer survival video game winning over millions of fans online as well as those who loved the survival genre. When it first launched, the title was averaging a solid number of concurrent players, sitting just under 50,000 a day. However, according to StreamDB, DayZ has just broken its record for the most concurrent players, bringing in 69,447 on November 13, 2023. Over a decade after the game first went live. However, 2023 has been a successful year for DayZ as a whole, with the previous peak of 63,000 players coming from another massive surge of players in January 2023. So why has DayZ seen a massive uptick in players again? For starters, devs Bohemia Interactive just brought in a giant new patch for the title, bringing back the .308 DMR which OG fans will recognize as being a throwback to the original mod, as well as overhauling the Vybor Air Base. The game, as stated on the official DayZ website, takes place when “the post-soviet country of Chernarus is struck by an unknown virus, turning the majority population into frenzied infected. Fighting over resources has bred a hostile mentality among survivors, driving what’s left of humanity to collapse.” With players flocking back to DayZ in big numbers, there is no telling if this record will last long or if the game will continue to bring in high player count numbers. However, we’ll be sure to keep you updated on all things DayZ throughout our content of the game. For all the latest gaming news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

DayZ celebrates 10th anniversary with “savage” spoof of The Day Before’s closure letter Bohemia InteractiveThe Day Before’s launch has been nothing short of disastrous, and the studio’s closure letter opened the door for DayZ to savagely celebrate its 10th anniversary. If you’ve been following industry headlines recently, you’ll have seen the commotion surrounding The Day Before. Numerous delays and a random trademark battle couldn’t stop this game from hitting the top of Steam’s wishlist charts. That all changed when the game’s early access window started, with waves of players peeved at the final product. It all culminated with developer Fntastic announcing its shutdown days after The Day Before launched. On the other side of the gaming industry, DayZ turns 10, and Bohemia Interactive took the time to celebrate with a lighthearted spoof. DayZ 10th anniversary letter mirrors The Day Before’s closure DayZ was released as a standalone mod back in 2012, but it captured so much success that its creators went on to convert it into a full title. Ten years later, it’s still receiving content support, with the latest patch breaking its decade-long player count record. Conversely, Fntastic’s The Day Before hasn’t matched the hype it garnered, and the developers released a closure letter detailing its shutdown days after launch. It seems that Bohemia Interactive has seen the letter, as hours after the closure letter arrived, Bohemia released a thank you letter nearly identical to Fntastic’s closure letter. The letter is all made better with its fantastic end signature of “dead game” crossed out. As mentioned, The Day Before peeved off tons of players. The shouts of “scam game” were through the roof during the lead-up to launch, and it only worsened when the game arrived. It got to the point where the developers released a statement telling players to stop labeling the game a scam. Fans loved the spoof, and plenty of replies congratulated the studio for the tenth anniversary and for savagely ripping The Day Before. Even the official Rust Twitter/X account got in on the fun: As the news continues to pour out, don’t be surprised if you see more teams adopt this template and make it their own.

DayZ accidentally bans xQc for stream sniping instead of the stream sniper While fighting for survival on DayZ, xQc was accidentally perma banned for stream sniping after killing the actual stream sniper. The zombie survival game DayZ has seen a bit of a resurgence on Twitch. With massive variety streamers such as Summit1g, Lirik, and xQc entering the post-apocalyptic wasteland to survive with strangers. This leads to some hilarious and sometimes intense moments of gameplay. Whether it be Summit’s unintentional meet-up with Poke or Lirik convincing players his parents named him “Kebob”, DayZ has been a hit with viewers. xQc, being the unpredictable streamer he is, often produces clippable content while playing DayZ. But his short-lived permaban was a humorous moment outside of his control. xQc banned from DayZ On June 20, xQc hopped onto the DayZ servers looking to enjoy the thrill of survival. But after three hours of scavenging and fending off zombies, xQc would get his first player kill before immediately being booted from the servers. The boot was due to an “unstable connection” which xQc hadn’t encountered until then. He immediately logged back into the server when an admin teleported to his location. “X! X! This is an admin. That was a 100% stream snipe-,” the admin was cut off as xQc was once again sent to the title screen. However, this time the dialogue box stated he was permanently banned by an admin. He was able to log back on and talk with the admin. “X, give it a second. We had to ban a stream sniper. Something went wrong. We’re fixing it,” the admin said before X was booted from the server a final time. When he was finally able to connect to the server, the admin explained what had happened. The player that xQc killed was a stream sniper that had traveled 1,000 meters in a straight line to X’s location. xQc opted not to loot the body and even had the admin delete the player’s loot since they had an abundance of weapons and materials. It wasn’t long after that xQc logged out ending his 16 1/2 hour stream.

DayZ 1.40 patch notes: M79 Launcher change, and Plastic Explosives reworked Bohemia InteractiveThe DayZ 1.40 update addresses a long list of bugs for console and PC players and makes adjustments for the M79 Launcher, and issues with Plastic Explosives. The zombie survival game DayZ has always maintained a decent following, but Twitch streamers such as xQc are currently giving the game a big boost in popularity on Twitch. Players in DayZ take on the role of a survivor with the simple goal of trying to survive as long as possible in a zombie-infested world. DayZ’s 1.40 hotfix patch most notably makes a change to the M79 Launcher so it can no longer jam. The update also addresses several different Plastic Explosive bugs and fixes server-crash issues. The developers had to delay the patch a few hours because of some launch issues, but the update eventually reached players on consoles and PC. The full patch notes can be found below.

Days Gone creator slams Astro Bot for turning his character into “cartoon shill” SonyTeam Asobi’s Astro Bot has given Sony a much-needed win after the disastrous Concord, but one person not happy with the former’s success was former Sony employee John Garvin. The ex-creative director of Bend Studio and writer/co-director for Days Gone took to X/Twitter on September 7 to criticize the inclusion of references to Deacon – Days Gone’s main protagonist – in Asobi’s acclaimed platformer. “Kinda sad that Deek has been reduced to promoting other games,” Garvin started, continuing to berate his former workplace with sarcastic remarks. “Well done Bend Studio! Way to protect your legacy!”, he added. Besides being lauded for being a best-in-class platformer in its own right, Astro Bot pays homage to numerous Sony IPs, including Uncharted, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn, among others. Following his initial post, Garvin was drawn into debating his original comments with other users. “Calm down my brotha”, came one reply, adding, “You were the creative director of the game [Days Gone], you brought this character to life. Don’t keep that magic stored away.” Garvin’s response? “Haha, I see my character reduced to a cartoon schill promoting some small indie game and I’m being harsh? Sit down, my brotha, adults are talking.” The back and forth continued with numerous others until Garvin concluded to one user challenging his comments that he was “done giving you air”. Garvin left Bend Studio in 2019 to focus on “personal projects”. In a 2021 interview with VGC, Garvin admitted he was fired from Bend Studio due to his “disruptive personality” with little specifics provided beyond that. Astro Bot was released on September 6 exclusively for PlayStation 5. The game holds universal acclaim on Metacritic with near-perfect critic and user reviews. Expect to see it make the shortlist for numerous gongs at 2024’s Game Awards in December.

When is Days Gone coming out? Release date, gameplay, trailers and more Days Gone is one of the biggest PS4 exclusives set to emerge in 2019. Here’s just about everything you need to know heading into its highly-anticipated release. What is Days Gone? SIE Bend Studios’ tale of post-apocalyptic survival in rural America has seen a bit of a rough road to release, having been delayed multiple times over the last year. While it was originally delayed into 2019 and was set to release on February 22, it has now been delayed for a third time until April 26, 2019. It was first previewed at E3 2016. The Days Gone engine is provided by Unreal Engine and the game currently comes at a pre-order cost of $59.99. Days Gone is a Playstation 4 (PS4) exclusive game. It’s an open world action-adventure in which the remaining humans can be equally as deadly as the zombies (Freakers). Will Days Gone release on Xbox? For those who are hoping to see the game release on Xbox, don’t hold your breath. The game is developed by Sony Bend (the clue is in the name) and therefore it will definitely only be appearing on PlayStation. Days Gone is set in a vast open-world where the player is able to approach objectives and locations in a number of different ways. Days Gone is set to be released as a single-player game. As a result, the only game mode will be the story. Albeit unlikely, a multiplayer or co-op mode won’t be added without warning. Below, you can check out some more details on this anticipated upcoming release… Days Gone – Release date, story, trailers and more Days Gone PS4 release date: April 26, 2019 – Developer: SIE Bend Studio – Publisher: Sony – Format: PS4 – Days Gone Trailer What is the Days Gone story? You’ll play as Deacon, who is a man living in the apocalypse. He prefers to live in dangerous areas rather than around civilians. He will have to deal with zombies known as ‘Freakers’ – which are regarded as unstoppable – after a global pandemic overwhelmed civilization two years ago. Days Gone Gameplay The Days Gone PS4 gameplay gives us a look at the game’s zombies (Freakers). This first set of Days Gone PS4 gameplay also shows how you can deal with the enemies, this includes barricades, explosives, and fire, or just simply running away. More gameplay has been released of Days Gone. This particular footage was shot on the PS4 Pro and shows vehicle and shooting mechanics, the open world and even some of the game’s story. Enemies can be approached using stealth or aggression based on your current circumstances. This will probably be determined by your resources, health, and abilities. The map is huge and there will be different forms of Freakers in different areas. You can use the Freakers to your advantage to ambush enemies, by drawing their attention to them. What FPS will Days Gone run at? It has been confirmed that the game will run at 30 frames per second (FPS) on the PS4 and the PS4 Pro. This may disappoint some who were maintaining hope that the game would run at the more desirable 60 FPS. The PS4 Pro, however, will output the game at 4K. It has also been confirmed that Sony’s latest console will provide further graphical enhancements. What do you think of this PS4 exclusive Days Gone? Are you going to be pre-ordering this game?

Days Gone fans frustrated by “ridiculous” rumored Sam Heughan movie casting Bend Studios, StarzDays Gone fans are up in arms over the alleged casting of Sam Heughan as Deacon St. John in the upcoming Days Gone movie from Sony PlayStation Productions. Sony PlayStation Productions are moving full steam ahead with their plans for game adaptation movies. While the cinematic debut of Uncharted received a mixed critical reception, the Tom Holland-starring adventure is now the fifth highest-grossing video game movie of all time. John Wick franchise director Chad Stahelski is working on a Ghost of Tsuhsima movie, and now, Bend Studios’ Days Gone is seemingly the next game to get a theatrical debut. However, the rumored casting of Outlander’s Sam Heughan in the lead role has avid fans and the game’s dev team calling for Sam Witwer’s return. Days Gone fans call for Sam Witwer’s return amid early casting rumors Outlander star and potential James Bond frontrunner Sam Heughan is rumoured (via Deadline) to be in talks with Sony PlayStation Productions about starring in Days Gone. Heughan’s attachment to the Days Gone movie has yet to be confirmed officially but fans of the divisive game are already frustrated by Heughan’s involvement. The games lead character, Deacon St. John, was voiced and motion captured by Star Wars franchise alum Sam Witwer. Jeff Ross, the game director of Days Gone, said that its “absolutely ridiculous they aren’t casting Sam Witwer.” “He’s got the physicality, the right look, and he can motherf****** act,” added Ross. Fans of Witwer have echoed Ross’s statement, with Twitter user @uber_kryptonian stating “Deacon St. John isn’t just voiced by Sam Witwer, it’s his complete likeness and performance.” The avid fan added that “Sam Witwer IS Deacon. He should be the one playing him in the Days Gone film.” The writer of the game, John Garvin, clarified that he’s “not involved” and would love to see a “created by” credit. However, the writer clarified that “Sony owns the IP and is under no obligation.” The project will be written by Oscar nominated screenwriter, Sheldon Turner, with his vision looking to be a “be a love ballad to motorcycle movies, the bike being Deacon’s sole form of transportation, his horse in this would-be modern-day western.”

The Day Before studio Fntastic shuts down just days after game launch FntasticThe Day Before studio Fntastic is already closing up shop, less than one week after the game’s disastrous debut. Fntastic’s original announcement of The Day Before in early 2021 garnered lots of internet buzz. To many, it looked like the perfect cross between The Division and The Last of Us. As a result, it went on to become the most wish-listed title on Steam. Such anticipation proved fleeting, however. Trailers without real gameplay left many wondering if the survival game actually existed, for example. The curious among us got their answer just a few days ago when the experience finally hit Steam Early Access boasting a $40 price tag. Bugs and other issues have kept some players from getting very far in The Day Before. And the “mostly negative” user reviews paint quite the picture for those who’ve yet to dive in. The Day Before’s Fntastic announces studio closure On its official Twitter/X page, Fntastic shared that The Day Before’s early financial failures are forcing the team to close up shop. The statement reads in part, “Unfortunately, The Day Before has failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue. All income received is being used to pay off debts to our partners.” The message goes on to note that developers spent five years and lots of energy on getting the game up and running. It later adds that the team didn’t take any money from customers via pre-orders or crowd-funding campaigns. The Day Before’s failure to turn an immediate profit, then, means that future content updates will never see the light of day. “We apologize if we didn’t meet your expectations… unfortunately, we miscalculated our capabilities.” The full statement features in the tweet below: To call this surprising news would be an understatement. Previous claims that the game was meant as a scam have already resurfaced, as evidenced in the tweet’s replies. YouTuber Bigfry wrote, “This was an absolute scam from day one. This game should be de-listed from Steam and you should never be involved in the industry in ANY capacity ever again.” Popular account Okami13_ joined the chorus as well, saying the developers should refund players for promising a games-as-a-service experience and not holding up their end. “Refund everyone who bought it too. You sold a long-term GAAS and you’re shutting it down after less than a week.” Suffice it to say, this story with the Day Before and its studio will likely become even more interesting as time goes on and more information surfaces. Update (December 11 at 4:20 PM CT): As of writing, Steam users can no longer purchase The Day Before on the storefront. Wario64 called attention to this change mere hours after the studio closure announcement.

The Day Before removed from Steam hours after devs shut down studio FntasticThe Day Before is no longer purchasable through Steam, news that comes mere hours after the development studio shut down. After much delay, developer Fntastic finally deployed The Day Before on December 7. The Steam Early Access release instantly turned disastrous, as players encountered a whole host of game-breaking bugs and other issues. Apparently, things proved so dour that the studio shut its doors, citing the game’s financial failures as the chief reason. Now there’s another wrinkle in the ongoing Days Before saga. A few hours after the studio closure announcement, Steam users realized that purchasing the game is no longer possible. What’s more, the company’s and Days Before’s footprint online is slowly beginning to evaporate. The Day Before has been delisted on Steam As spotted by Wario64, The Day Before can no longer be purchased on the PC storefront. The Steam store page still exists as of writing, but purchasing options have been summarily removed. And that’s not all. Journalist Nick Calandra pointed out that the studio’s CEO has deactivated his personal Twitter account. Fntastic’s official website now stands as a shell of its former self, too, with just the studio closure announcement occupying the page. Notably, the Fntastic YouTube channel no longer hosts previously released trailers and the like for The Day Before. The ‘About’ section does feature the following text, however: “We’re grateful to everyone who supported us during these difficult years. It’s been a fantastic journey over the past eight years.” It’s a shocking turnaround for The Day Before, which hit Steam Early Access four days ago, but its sudden delisting isn’t the only cause for concern. The CEO’s Twitter deactivation and the website’s barebones display means users are running out of ways to contact the developers. In its shutdown announcement, Fntastic noted that every penny the game made would be used to “pay off debts to [the studio’s] partners.” Naturally, this raises questions about reimbursement, especially given Steam’s two-hour gameplay policy for refunds and the now-defunct live-service nature of the survival experience. Someone behind The Day Before will have plenty to answer for once the dust starts to settle.

Is The Day Before a real game? “Fake” game rumors spread after bizarre delay FntasticAfter The Day Before’s delay over alleged trademark issues, many have begun to wonder if the game is possibly fake. The Day Before‘s reveal trailer in early 2021 took the internet by storm, with its Last of Us-like tone and MMO qualities instantly sparking online hype. It later became one of Steam’s most wishlisted games, but even those most invested in its development grew wary over time. Generic and heavily scripted gameplay trailers seemed fine initially. However, pundits and prospective players note that such content is all anyone’s seen of the MMO in action. The latest development, or lack thereof, in The Day Before saga has some thinking it’s similar to PS5’s elusive Abandoned. The Day Before’s recent delay sparks rumors that it’s fake Earlier this week, The Day Before mysteriously vanished from Steam. Developer Fntastic said it merely constituted a “minor technical difficulty,” then later alleged that a copyright claim caused the removal. Apparently, the copyright strike came as a result of the development house failing to secure The Day Before’s trademark. The title, consequently, suffered yet another long delay, meaning it’ll now launch on November 10, 2023. But it seems few people actually believe it’ll hold firm to the new November date. In fact, many now believe the project doesn’t exist at all. Popular content creator LegacyKillaHD wrote in response to the latest delay that “this game isn’t real, lmao.” The YouTuber pointed out the lack of real gameplay footage and the studio’s wide array of excuses. “Naaa, this just screams ‘Abandoned PS5’ scam all over again…” Another Twitter user replied to the LegacyKillaHD thread, arguing: “From the jump the game was way too ambitious to be real. Especially with the size of the studio.” What’s more, YouTuber Skill Up has shared a screenshot of a message from the game’s lead Discord mod, someone who recently teased an upcoming gameplay reveal. Evidently, the mod sits in the same boat as everyone else, wondering if The Day Before may be fake. If The Day Before does represent another PS5 Abandoned-like situation, this may be a long con with no real ending in sight.

Dave the Diver gets new collab but it’s not what you think SHIFT UPDave the Diver is teaming up with a popular mobile gacha game in it’s most surprising collaboration yet. Dave the Diver was one of the surprise hits of last year – in fact, it’s still one of the best games you can play on Steam Deck. The deep sea exploration game has proven so popular, that it’s received collaborations with everything from Dredge to Godzilla. However, this time the larger-than-life diver will be making a splash in the popular mobile game Goddess Victory: Nikke. This surprise collaboration was officially announced during the Goddess of Victory: Nikke summer livestream, which gave players a sneak peek at the new diving minigame and character outfits. Dave’s signature scuba suit will be available for Mast and Anchor, the seafaring Supporter and Defender. However, the most exciting reveal was the addition of a Dave the Diver minigame. During this exclusive mode, players can pick from three characters and explore the ocean depths below. By utilizing Dave’s signature Dive Knife and Harpoon, you’ll be able to catch plenty of fish. However, just like in Dave the Diver, players will need to carefully manage their oxygen supply to avoid passing out and losing their haul.

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor insider claims Darth Maul set for return A new rumor claims the recently announced Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will feature the return of Darth Maul. Following months of rumors and speculation, developer Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts formally announced the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel late last week during Star Wars Celebration. A teaser trailer accompanied the news, confirming that Fallen Order protagonist Cal Kestis will also constitute the playable lead in Survivor. Respawn hasn’t shared much in the way of concrete details as of yet; however, the internet is already abuzz with fan theories based on the roughly 90-second teaser. The vast majority of said theories revolve around the mystery character who appears in the Bacta Tank. Rumors about Cal’s potential cameo in Disney Plus’ currently running Obi-Wan Kenobi television series continue to pick up steam, too. Some unsubstantiated claims even insist Obi-Wan will somehow take part in the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor narrative. Now, details from an industry insider hint at yet another classic Star Wars character possibly making the leap to the Respawn-developed adventure. Darth Maul rumored for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor In episode 111 of the Xbox Era Podcast, co-host and industry insider Nick Baker alleged that about a year ago, he heard Darth Maul may feature in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. “I had heard Darth Maul might be in it,” Baker told his fellow show hosts. Though Darth Maul seemingly meets his end during The Phantom Menance, the character rears his head again in The Clone Wars. He ultimately succumbs to death after dueling Obi-Wan in Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels. As such, the larger Star Wars timeline makes room for Darth Maul’s supposed cameo in the Respawn tale, given that he dies in 2 BBY – several years ahead of Fallen Order’s 14 BBY setting. Star Wars faithful would do well to take this particular rumor with a grain of salt, though, especially since Baker reportedly caught wind of this detail more than a year ago. Segment starts at 31:10 in the video below. At the time of writing, the above Darth Maul-related information serves as little more than an unfounded rumor. And there’s no telling when exactly Respawn and EA will begin sharing specifics. Digital events hosted by Sony, Microsoft and Bethesda, and Geoff Keighley (Summer Game Fest) will stream throughout the next several days. Yet, Electronic Arts announced in March that it had no plans to host an EA Play Live event this summer. But the wait to learn more about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor shouldn’t last too long, considering the title now boasts a 2023 release window. When Cal Kestis’ new adventure does hit store shelves, it will do so only on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.

Darksiders 4: Everything we know from leaks, rumors, and teases THQ NordicA Darksiders 3 developer has uploaded artwork featuring members of the Four Horsemen, potentially teasing the existence of Darksiders 4. Anton Lavrushkin, a member of Darksiders 3’s development team, has uploaded some interesting images to his Artstation account which may tease a potential Darksiders 4. Darksiders is a hack-and-slash adventure series featuring the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who are caught up in an eternal struggle between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Every Darksiders game puts the player in control of a different Horseman, each on a quest that runs concurrently with the others. The first game featured the bulky and tanklike War, with Darksiders 2 switching him out for his stealthier brother Death. The third game saw players take control of the more agile Fury, although her story also revealed where the fourth Horseman, Strife, had been. Contents Does Darksiders 4 have a release date? – Do we know what platforms Darksiders 4 will be on? – What does the Darksiders 4 artwork mean? – Darksiders 4 artwork: No sign of Strife – Lilith’s role in Darksiders 4 – Does Darksiders 4 have a release date? Darksiders 4, if it will be called that, has not been formally announced. Therefore, there is no release date as of yet. Do we know what platforms Darksiders 4 will be on? No. As Darksiders 4 has not been made official, it is too early to speculate on which platforms it would release on. What does the Darksiders 4 artwork mean? The new Darksiders artwork, which may or may not be a tease to Darksiders 4, features two images. The first shows Horsemen Fury, Death, and War posing with their weapons while the second features the mysterious Lilith (above). In the game’s story, Lilith is the Horsemen’s mother and has been manipulating events from behind the scenes. This is not unlike Blizzard’s Diablo series, which coincidently, is also positioning their version of the Biblical Lilith as the Diablo 4’s main antagonist. Darksiders 4 artwork: No sign of Strife Fourth Horsemen, Strife, is conspicuous by his absence from the new Darksiders images. Strife is the only Horseman to not yet have a game centered around him, although he did have an important role in Darksiders 3. He was also one of the two main playable characters in the prequel Darksiders Genesis. But the character is yet to star in a solo adventure. Without giving too much away, the character’s arc in Darksiders 3 implies Strife has knowledge and experience his siblings do not have, especially when it comes to the value of humanity. Many fans expected Strife to be the protagonist of Darksiders 4, or for all Four Horsemen to be playable in the next chapter. Either is still possible since THQ Nordic has not yet formally announced the game. Lilith’s role in Darksiders 4 The artwork featuring Lilith (not the character from Diablo 4 but both are based on the same figure from mythology) could mean the character has an expanded role in Darksiders 4. This has been teased in the games and Lilith could even end up being the game’s ‘big bad’. Or she may help her children overcome their enemies, save humanity, and restore the balance between Heaven and Hell. The first three Darksiders games end with each of the Four Horsemen reuniting on their steeds, silently preparing to face some unseen threat together. As every game features a different Horsemen, each character has been on their own adventure and has the knowledge to share with the rest before what looks like the final battle begins. Could Lilith be what the Horsemen are gearing up to face in Darksiders 4? Or will Strife hold the final piece of the puzzle before the next chapter begins? We’ll gather all Darksiders 4 leaks, teases, and news here while we wait to learn more. While we wait for more news, why not check out all we know about the following upcoming games.

Dark Souls streamer flips when he finds out Ninja & Drake won best gaming moment News that Ninja and Drake scooped an award for gaming moment of the year didn’t go down too well with everybody, especially one Dark Souls streamer who decided to trash their room. The outburst from The_Happy_Hob, quite clearly in jest, was a reaction to Drake and Ninja scooping the ‘Fan Favorite Gaming Moment’. Ninja picked up this award and two others during the Gamers’ Choice Awards from CBS, however the (not so) Happy Hob couldn’t believe that it wasn’t him picking up the prize instead. So, he went a bit crazy. Grabbing almost anything within five yards of him, the streamer threw things across the room, slammed equipment onto the floor and eventually went on to punch his camera before screaming about the awards ceremony results. “Ninja and Drake for favorite gaming moment of the year… That’s fine. OK” he said, before launching some of his belongings around the room. According to a post on Reddit, the streamer was mad because he was also nominated for the same award after “beating all 3 games without getting hit”, however we was pipped to the prize by the popular duo. After punching the camera, he picked it back up. “Where’s my award CBS? Huh? Where’s my fucking award? Gaming moment of the year… Drake? Who’s Drake? Who’s Drake? Huh? Fucking hell. “Do you know what I’ve been through, huh? I needed this!” Read More: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: How to finish the “Torchlight reveals the hour” quest in World of Light – His reaction was quite obviously sarcastic, but we’re sure he is a bit saddened by losing out to Ninja and Drake to some extent. Just not as much as he’s making out in this video (surely).

Dark Souls lore is being collected in two Bible-sized resource books Bandai Namco EntertainmentDark Souls scholar Lokey distilled every inch of the franchise’s lore into two Bible-sized books that Tune & Fairweather will publish in 2023.

Dark Souls 3 servers finally back online 7 months after netcode exploit FromSoftwareAfter being down for seven months, devs FromSoftware have finally turned the Dark Souls 3 servers back online. As August 2022 closes out, FromSoftware have finally decided to bring their online servers for Dark Souls 3 back up after being down for seven months, with the devs also promising that other Dark Souls titles will be back up and running soon. The announcement was made on the official Dark Soul Twitter account, confirming that “online features for the PC version of Dark Souls III have been reactivated.” The post then added that the devs are “working to restore these features for all other Dark Souls titles and will inform you when they are back in service.” At the beginning of 2022, Dark Souls developers FromSoftware chose to disable the PvP PC servers for the whole trilogy. This was due to online hacks and mods ruining the experience for many players, with one bug even having the ability to completely shut down and break a person’s PC. As a result, Dark Souls players have been unable to engage with the online servers for the whole year, with devs working constantly to modify and adapt the servers to make them as safe as possible before booting them up again. The issue got so bad that players were being heavily encouraged to download mods to help identify hackers. Fans were worried that they might even stay down permanently after their Steam listings were changed to categorize them as single-player games only. There were big fears that these issues would also impact Elden Ring on release, a game that essentially operates as a spiritual successor to the Dark Souls games. However, the 2022s juggernaut title has been able to evade these major issues since dropping back in February 2022. Since releasing, Elden Ring has gone on to become one of the top 10 best-selling video games in US history.

Dark Souls 3 players risk having their PC bricked if they play online From SoftwareDark Souls 3 players on PC will want to be on the lookout for a dangerous new exploit that can cause permanent damage to their computers. A love letter to the first two games in From Software’s Souls series, Dark Souls 3 is still massively popular years on from its 2016 release date. However, on January 22, 2022, it was discovered that a new exploit could potentially affect PC players who are connected to the internet while playing. Basically, it can turn DS 3 into a Trojan Horse virus vulnerable to malicious hackers. Dark Souls 3 netcode exploit can brick PCs like a Trojan Horse. And more nasty stuff. It’s highly suggested to NOT PLAY ONLINE DARK SOULS 3 in it’s current state. Avoid any online activity from Ds3. In addition, if you haven’t already everybody and their mother can recommend the Blue Sentinel modhttps://t.co/lposZRzbr1 — 💛🤍 Skele₊ 💜🖤 (@SkeleMann) January 22, 2022 On Twitter Souls enthusiast SkeleMann urged players to stay away from playing Dark Souls 3 online in the game’s current state. “On PC there is a new, very serious exploit plaguing Dark Souls 3 which can cause lasting damage to your computer,” they explained. “This could brick your PC, let your login information be shared, or execute programs in the background like a Trojan Horse.” In addition to not playing Dark Souls 3 online until the problem is fixed, they also recommended downloading the Blue Sentinel mod for the game. This addon helps recognize hackers, however, over on the Dark Souls 3 subreddit, users reporting the mod isn’t able to detect this particular exploit just yet, which just makes it even more dangerous. There was some good news from Reddit that the exploit didn’t seem to be very widespread. But, they warned as well that the amount of damage this exploit could cause to a computer is “severe,” and suggested all PC users mod or not stay away from online play until they patched the service. Not only that, but some players in the comments said the exploit could also affect Elden Ring as well, which would be very bad news for the highly anticipated title. Hopefully, this means a fix is on the way for Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. The last thing anyone wants to see happen is for one of the biggest and most-anticipated games of 2022 to be delayed because it gives hackers an unprotected back door to control and potentially destroy players’ PCs.

Is a Daredevil game finally happening? Marvel partnership reignites rumors Netflix, Marvel | Skydance MediaWith Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy and Avengers bringing players the chance to team up as iconic heroes, fans of Daredevil may finally have their prayers answered as Marvel’s merger with Skydance Media reignites previous rumors. Here’s everything we know so far about the potential “man without fear” adventure. Outside of their big-screen domination with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the long-running comic media titan have also taken players by storm in the last 3 years, with the unrelenting success of Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man. The recently released Guardians of The Galaxy adventure is “a damn good space opera” according to team Dexerto’s review. The demand for more Insomniac titles continues too, as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine are on the way to next-gen consoles. But what about “the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen” himself? Could it be time for Daredevil to be done justice with some next-gen enhancements? Attempts at a Daredevil solo adventure have been made before, during the sixth generation of consoles. Now, previous rumors have re-emerged into the spotlight as Marvel will work with Skydance Media on a new “narrative-driven” project. When will the Daredevil game be released? At the time of writing, the notion of Daredevil appearing in Marvel and Skydance Media’s upcoming project is purely speculation. With no official time frame disclosed by either party, it is safe to assume that the project is in the very early stages of pre-production. As no time frame has been disclosed as of yet by either party, what we can look into is the previous leaks that added fuel to the fire of this potential project. Originally posted back in February of 2020, the project is rumored for a “2022” release window for “PC, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and definitely not Switch.” Looks like we are getting a Daredevil game pic.twitter.com/qS5hnIVdZj — Alan ⊃∪∩⪽ (@AJCI282002) October 29, 2021 Interestingly, the same leak also details a single-player Wolverine game to be “early, early development” and that player shouldn’t expect a “release for 2-3 years.” Now that Insomniac Games have announced their upcoming Wolverine title, perhaps there is something to found in the foundations of this leak. Back in May 2020, acclaimed voice actor Troy Baker also hinted he could be involved with a Daredevil project. What will it be about? Cinematically, the character of Matt Murdock/Daredevil hasn’t been seen since Season 3 of the titular Netflix show. Rumored to show up in the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, the character’s appearance could jump-start Daredevil’s popularity once again. As the Square Enix Avengers and Guardians of The Galaxy games have taken influence from the MCU, both aesthetically and story-wise, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the developers take a similar approach. However, according to a report from Deadline, the project will be a “completely original story.” Former Uncharted creative director and writer Amy Hennig made the announcement, saying that “It’s an honor to be able to tell an original story with all the humanity, complexity, and humor that makes Marvel characters so enduring.” Rumored gameplay features In the aforementioned leak, details of the game refer to the setting as “modern-day Chicago”, which is a very different turn away from the character’s familiar setting of Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The villain could potentially be an “older” Bullseye, who is “new to the game”, while Daredevil himself “has been at this for quite some time.” Read More: Marvel’s Midnight Suns: Everything we know – As for the world itself, free roam may be limited to night-time only, with “barely any missions taking place in the day.” As Daredevil is more of a nocturnal character akin to Batman, this would make sense and hone into a more Arkham-style feel, which can also be said of the combat according to the leaker. The size of the map will also take “full advantage” of next-gen SSD hardware. Players will apparently be able to customize Daredevil to an extent, with a “skill tree” system, again, similar to that of the Arkham series. Will it tie into other Marvel games? While the developers have stated this currently untitled project, is an original story, this doesn’t necessarily rule out the potential of cross-overs with other Marvel titles. Insomniac Games have stated that their Spider-Man titles take place in their own canon, which Wolverine is also thought to be part of. The Spider-Man games also made reference to the Avengers, but not the same heroic team seen in the Square Enix canon. 2K Games are working on Ultimate Alliance’s successor, Midnight Suns, which means Daredevil could appear in a plethora of universes or storylines. We’ll be keeping track of this exciting project as it develops, so be sure to keep checking back in with us.

Dana White’s Power Slap mobile game officially unleashed by Zynga ZyngaThe moment slap-fighting enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating is finally here. UFC President Dana White has teamed up with juggernaut developer Zynga for the first Power Slap mobile game. In July, UFC President Dana White hinted at an upcoming Power Slap video game. Today, Rollic, in partnership with Zynga, is confirming this speculation with the official launch of the Power Slap game. The mobile game, now available on iOS and Android, enables players to virtually experience slap fights. The Power Slap game is based on the controversial sport aired on TBS and Rumble, where competitors attempt to knock out their opponents with a single, well-placed slap. In the mobile game, Dana White serves as an in-game mentor, and players can compete with four different Power Slap athletes, with more to be added in future updates. Players can create their own custom avatar or play as their favorite Power Slap champions, facing opponents in multiple career and training modes, participating in in-game events, and tackling live challenges. Timed to coincide with Power Slap 4: Hintz vs. Turpin, which airs tonight, the Power Slap game brings the social media phenomenon of slap fighting to iOS and Android platforms. The game will feature top athletes from the slap-fighting world, including light heavyweight champion Wolverine (Ron Bata), former light heavyweight champion Ayjay “Static” Hintz, super heavyweight Da Crazy Hawaiian (Koa Viernes), and welterweight champion Christopher “K.O. Chris” Thomas. In an update expected to launch later in August, heavyweight champion The Bell (Damien Dibbell) and middleweight champion John “The Machine” Davis will also be added to the game. Dana White, Founder of Power Slap, expressed his excitement at the game’s launch, saying, “This new Power Slap game is absolutely incredible, and I couldn’t be more excited for fans around the world to experience it.” Despite initial skepticism and a flurry of mixed reactions highlighted in our July article, the arrival of a Power Slap game indeed piqued curiosity and interest. Some fans had dismissed the Power Slap game as a potential “s***ty phone game with a power meter for the slap,” while others were doubtful about investing money in such a concept. Now, it’s time for the gamers to decide whether Rollic and Zynga have managed to turn around these initial perceptions. The Power Slap game is now available worldwide on iOS and Android platforms.

Dana White teases Power Slap game on the way amid EA Sports UFC 5 announcement Zuffa LLCOn the heels of EA Sports confirming the much-anticipated UFC 5, UFC President Dana White stirred a mixed bag of reactions from the gaming community by teasing that a new video game based on his slap-fighting promotion, Power Slap, is also coming soon. As UFC fans look forward to the “full reveal” of UFC 5 in September, White was recently asked whether there was an update on the Power Slap video game. White responded: “It’s funny you ask that. I did get some information on that today. We’re getting close to getting it done and getting it out.” Derived from the controversial Power Slap series aired on TBS and Rumble, the game will likely allow players to virtually experience slap fights that aim to knock opponents out with a single slap. Fan reactions have been varied, ranging from humor to criticism. One tweet showed a single-button PlayStation controller with a sarcastic comment about the game’s presumed simplicity. Another referenced the existing Slap Kings mobile game, which has over 100 million downloads and is praised for its straightforward, single gameplay. However, not all reactions were light-hearted. Reddit ‘UFC’ community members voiced their skepticism, mocking the idea of investing money in such a game. “Bruh, this gonna be one of those s***ty phone games with a power meter for the slap,” one user commented, while another rhetorically added, “Imagine buying this game. With your money.” In Power Slap, participants have 60 seconds to deliver a well-placed, open-handed slap below the opponent’s eye and above the chin. The receiver has the same time to recover before returning the slap. The promotion has faced controversy due to the potential health risks for participants. Upon its initial airing, Power Slap sparked a debate about the competitors’ welfare and the sport’s inherent danger. It faced criticism from neuroscience professionals, combat sports athletes, and lawmakers. However, White and the show’s producers have defended the sport, asserting that it takes fewer hits than traditional boxing and that proper medical attention is given. “In Slap, they take 3 to 5 slaps per event,” White said. “Fighters in boxing take 300 to 400 punches a fight. Oh, you’re disgusted by it? Watch The Voice.” As the gaming community prepares for the arrival of UFC 5, it will be intriguing to see how fans will respond to a Power Slap game. Given the criticisms and controversies associated with the sport, the forthcoming game will surely invite plenty of attention – whether good or bad. For now though, specifics remain thin. It’s unclear what platforms the Slap game may arrive on, nor when it may even release. We’ll be sure to keep you posted here as any further details emerge.

Cyberpunk 2077 new weapon details revealed in Aug 10 Night City stream CD Projekt Red[jwplayer 91I9RIGm] In the game’s August 10 Night City livestream, CD Projekt Red revealed brand new details about Cyberpunk 2077’s weapons, including how they work, their pros and cons, and more. At this point in time, it’s not out of left field to say that Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most anticipated games of 2020. From its unique and vibrant setting, to Keanu Reeves himself, many fans are looking forward to picking it up when it releases in November 2020. Despite this hype, however, there’s still a ton about the game that we don’t know about, which is where CD Projekt Red’s Night City livestreams come in. These streams are meant to be informative deep dives into basic features from the game itself so that players can familiarize themselves with them before release. On August 10, CD Projekt Red held its second Night City livestream and, once again, dove right in on a bunch of details about the game. During the stream, fans got some new details about the game’s weapons, including the advantages and disadvantages of each type, the main uses of each, and more. In total, ranged weapons break down into three separate categories: smart, power, and tech. As one would expect, each category has its own different advantages and disadvantages, with each one filling a different role than the others, in order to diversify each gameplay experience. Power weapons focus more on, you guessed it, power. The developers say these weapons are the most comparable to today’s modern weapons but that they have their own “Cyberpunk” twists to them. One of the main features of these weapons is the ability to ricochet bullets off walls and floors. For tech weapons, players are able to fire a projectile at incredibly high speeds in order to completely decimate targets. According to the developers, these are the best to take out enemies behind cover, as it can punch right through it with ease. The last set is smart weapons, which uses technology that allows players to track targets, bend bullets around corners, and more. Overall, these seem to do the lowest damage of the bunch, however, the ability to take out targets around corners is invaluable. Read more: Cyberpunk 2077 delayed until November – Beyond the actual weapons itself, fans will also have access to a ton of mods, which can change the way you play even more than before. While there wasn’t a deep dive into the mods, the developers did say that some of them include non-lethal rounds, chemical rounds, damage increases, and more. All in all, it seems like gunplay is going to be an incredibly important aspect to Cyberpunk 2077, although, given the fact that it’s an FPS, this really shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Hopefully, the gameplay itself is as good as it looks.

Cyberpunk 2077 weapons list, gameplay features, and combat changes CD Projekt RedAfter many delays, CD Projekt Red’s newest game – Cyberpunk 2077 – is finally available for the public to play. To make sure you’re up-to-date, we’re breaking down the different weapons the game has; its key gameplay features, and how to make the most of combat. Cyberpunk’s futuristic, dystopian-like setting allows for unconventional gameplay in the form of creative augmentations, multi-purpose weapons, and vehicles straight out of 2077. Furthermore, the game offers a wide array of weaponry, graciously provided by the 12 different corporations that make up the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. So let’s have a look at all the definite weapons and gameplay/combat features we know of so far. Weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 Given that the game is set further in the future, lots of sophisticated, cutting-edge firearms and melee weapons are to be expected for the player to use. Weapons are manufactured by 12 different corporations and their availability is determined by a typical colored tier system – in terms of rarity. There are also 3 different types of weapon too: Power Weapons – Standard guns with typical ammo. SMG, Pistol, Shotgun, Machine Gun, and Revolver. High recoil. High rate of fire. – Tech Weapons – Powered by rail gun technology to fire electromagnetic projectiles. Have strong penetrative effects. Strong damage. Low rate of fire. – Smart Weapons – Uses lock-on technology to fire caseless, guided ammo. Doesn’t require manual aim. Does less damage. – Here are the 12 Corporations and their weapons that we know of at this moment: Arasaka – Ronin HS8, Tki- 20 Shingen, HJSH-18, Masamune, Mantis Blades, Thermal Katana, Gorilla Arms – Budget Arms – Blunderbuss, Carnage, Slaughtomatic – Constitutional Arms – M2067 Defender, Unity – Darra-Polytechnic – Darra-Polytechnic M-9 Assault Rifle – Kang Tao – G-58 Dian, Type 41, KK-68, L-69 Zhuo – Malorian – Arms Sliver Gun, Arms 3516, Arms Heavy Flechette Pistol, Arms Sub-Flechette Gun, 3600 Super-SMG, M-12 Beretta SMG, Vindicator grenade launcher, Arms Assault Cannon – Midnight Arms – SOR-22 – Millitech – ARK-44, Crusher, PDU-5 Mine, M-10AF Lexington, M221 Saratoga, RKD-12, M-179 Achilles – Nokota Manufacturing – Genesis 19:24, D5 Coppherhead – Rostovic – DB-2 Satara, DB-4 Palica – Tsunami Defense Systems – Tsunami Nekomata, Tsunami Nue – Textpohnka – RT-46 Burya – Gameplay features and combat guide Cyberpunk has adopted conventional RPG tropes by having a perks system. It provides different skill trees that can shape your character, meaning your version of V can be a stealthy assassin or a gung-ho aggressor. Perks are very influential – particularly with health – as the game offers no regenerative health until you unlock certain perks. Equipment and technology are key in Cyberpunk with specific augmentations giving you access to environmental and enemy, information. You’ll be able to scan your surroundings and identify enemy strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, your Nanowire – a tool connected to V’s arm – can also hack into equipment, and hack into enemies. Your playstyle can also be a factor in choosing what tools the game affords. For example, if you’re aggressive, you can claim an enemy as a hostage to provide you a buffer. If they survive, it’s up to you what their fate is. If you prefer stealth, you might want to make use of the versatile melee weapons that can be used up-close, from a distance, and quietly to remain undetected. Cyberpunk 2077 guns and combat trailer To give you an idea of what Cyberpunk’s weapons look like, here’s a short gameplay trailer showing off some of the game’s shiny toys. With Night City ready to be explored by all, it’s time to jump on in, grab your favorite weapon and live your best life in Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 spotted on PS5 backend ahead of release CD Projekt Red, SonyCD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 could be finally making its next-gen debut after the controversial game was spotted on the PlayStation Network database. Cyberpunk 2077 was originally released in September 2020, after several delays to refine the game’s incredibly ambitious scope. Unfortunately, the game was riddled with an obscene amount of issues upon launch, with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series console iterations nowhere to be seen. Now, it seems that developers CD Projekt Red are gearing up to re-release the game with a fresh coat of polish. Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 may finally be released Cyberpunk 2077 has been spotted on the PlayStation Network backend, indicating that the next-gen iteration of the game is on the horizon. The upload was discovered by PlayStation Size, an account that specializes in monitoring the PlayStation Network. While the discovery doesn’t specify how big the PlayStation 5 version of the game will be, it has interestingly debuted fresh artwork for the occasion. 🚨 Cyberpunk 2077 🤝 PS5 🟥 #Cyberpunk2077 pic.twitter.com/cziUZrMoxV — PlayStation Game Size (@PlaystationSize) January 30, 2022 The PlayStation 5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 was promised within the first content map but has ultimately seen its release pushed at least four times. The developers continue to try and appease disappointed players by updating their ‘Our Commitment page with answers to burning questions. For more details about the progress being made on Cyberpunk 2077’s further development, including information about updates and improvements, free DLCs, and more, please visit https://t.co/vfY3xxCM1G pic.twitter.com/6U28q8pcVH — Cyberpunk 2077 (@CyberpunkGame) January 13, 2021 CD Projekt Red is also working on a next-gen release of the award-winning The Witcher 3, which will likely have affected progress on Cyberpunk 2077. Can the power of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles revive the divisive game? We’ll be curious to find out.

Cyberpunk 2077 reimagined as a PS1 game still looks breathtaking CD Projekt RED / SonyCD PROJEKT RED have captured the imaginations of their audiences once again with what they’ve shown so far of their upcoming open-world, action-adventure title. The game looks like it’s going to give players a ton of ways to explore the vast underbelly of Night City. The Cyberpunk 2077 hype has so far inspired incredible works of art from its eager fan base ranging from incredible cosplays to incredible portraits for the characters that will be featured in the game. But as far as homages go, YouTuber Bear Parker – AKA ‘Bearly Regal’ – might have one of the most ambitious designs yet seeing as he recreated a chunk of previously revealed gameplay in nostalgic PS One style. Not one to compromise his art for ease, Bear said this wasn’t his first time trying to make a PS1 version for the sci-fi shooter but at least this time it’s more inline with his vision. “This isn’t the first time I’ve tried to make Cyberpunk 2077 in the style of a PS1 game,” he said. “It’s like the 20th [attempt] because after my last [Death Stranding] ‘demake’ a lot of people were not particularly happy that I included some bits of tech that don’t necessarily exist for the PS1.” Fans might recognize the setting from the 48-minute gameplay reveal for the game when V is exploring Night City. The YouTuber’s recreation stayed as true to the segment as much as possible, and his “50 hours of work [for] a 30-second video” without question payed off. To cap off his ‘demake,’ Bear made what it would look and sound like if a player booted up a Cyberpunk 2077 PS1 game; with the iconic sounds of the classic Sony Computer Entertainment into coupled with the following PS logo. Keanu Reeves in PS1 graphics still looks amazing After loading into Night City, the video shows the player walking through the streets with the objective of returning “to your apartment.” The next objective is to meet up with a PS1 model of Johnny Silverhand, who is still played by Keanu Reeves. The last images is Johnny simply telling the player “you’re breathtaking” as the screen fades to black. Bearly Regal’s ‘demake’ of Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredible feat of persistence as well as creativity to bring all the elements together, and definitely helps with the wait until the title’s 2020 release.

Cyberpunk 2077 producer drops hints about possible Nintendo Switch port CD Projekt RED / NintendoCyberpunk 2077 is shaping up to be one of the biggest game releases in 2020, and CD Projekt RED isn’t ruling out a Nintendo Switch release. The upcoming release will already be pushing the current-gen consoles to their absolute limits, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t hoping it will be able to release on Nintendo’s hybrid console in one way or another. Although The Witcher 3 was, and still is, a very demanding game on both consoles and PC, the developers found a way to strip it down enough to get it running on the Switch. The game went through a major graphical overhaul, but it was able to keep much of what makes The Witcher a great game. All things considered, it’s a phenomenal accomplishment it’s even running in the first place. Since the developers were able to work their magic once, fans are hopeful they would be able to do it again and get Cyberpunk on the underpowered device. In an interview with OnMSFT, CD Projekt RED’s John Mamais said there currently aren’t any plans for a Switch port, but doesn’t exactly say it won’t happen. “I don’t know if Cyberpunk 2077 would work on the Nintendo Switch. It might be too heavy for it,” he said. “But then, we did put Witcher 3 on it and we thought that would be too heavy too but somehow we pulled it off.” On important fact to note is that The Witcher 3 released back in 2015, while Cyberpunk 2077 will be a 2020 title, so technology is going to be a lot more advanced than it was then. That’s not to say a Switch version is impossible because we’re still seeing 2020 games like DOOM: Eternal receiving ports to the Nintendo device. A port of Cyberpunk would most likely require a major drop in resolution and severely downgraded textures. Of course, that’s something players have proven they can live with if the Witcher port is any indication. For the time being though, there are not any plans for a Nintendo Switch version of the game. However, as we’ve learned in the past, you can never say never.

Cyberpunk 2077 players shocked as Phantom Liberty turns it into a horror game Cyberpunk 2077 players are stunned as the new Phantom Liberty expansion has turned the RPG into a horror game. Cyberpunk 2077 has been completely turned around by the Phantom Liberty DLC that finally arrived on September 26, where it’s fair to say Night City got a breath of fresh air with the 2.0 update. Not only did the 2.0 update bring a ton of overhauls to a number of gameplay mechanics and core game features, but when paired with the Phantom Liberty expansion players can experience almost a completely different game. The update has also brought new weapons, vehicles, cosmetics, and cyberdecks, some of which players have claimed are “absolutely horrifying” to use. Now, fans are even going as far as to say Phantom Liberty has turned Cyberpunk 2077 into a horror game. Cyberpunk 2077 is now a horror game according to players In an October 6 Reddit thread titled “Cyberpunk is a horror game now”, one player shared a video from the mission ‘Somewhat Damaged’ in the Phantom Liberty expansion. During the mission, players are hunted down by an AI-controlled robot, which if caught leads to instant death — reminding them of horror games. Other players only seemed to agree, with many claiming the mission left them scared ‘sh*tless’. “Yeah man, I don’t play horror games this sh*t had me sh**ting bricks,” one player hit out. “No lie I was freaking out internally during this whole chapter,” said another. “I had to blast country music to get over my fear during that mission,” a third added. Many gave praise to the devs, claiming that the atmosphere had them on edge during the mission, although admitted some parts were annoying. “Atmosphere was 10/10,” one wrote. “Really had me on edge, but there were some parts where it was straight-up annoying.”

Cyberpunk 2077 players discover “horrifying” new weapon in Phantom Liberty CD Projekt RedCyberpunk 2077 players have uncovered a “horrifying” new weapon in the new Phantom Liberty expansion that takes advantage of a rogue AI to psychologically deconstruct their enemies in real-time. Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty DLC finally arrived on September 26, bringing a breath of fresh air to Night City with the 2.0 update. Not only including a story expansion, but the 2.0 update also brought a ton of overhauls to a number of gameplay mechanics and core game features. With such a huge update, a ton of new weapons, vehicles, cosmetics, and cyberdecks have been added to kit out your arsenal. However, one cyberdeck in particular has stood out from the rest, with players calling it “horrifying.” Spoilers for both the main Cyberpunk 2077 main story and Phantom Liberty expansion ahead. Cyberpunk 2077 players shocked by Phantom Liberty weapon In a September 30 Reddit thread, player ‘MrN00b241’ shared a video of the ‘Militech Canto Mk 6’ cyberdeck — which when used on enemies drives them insane with ‘cyberpsychosis’ before eventual system overload due to a rogue AI from beyond the Blackwall completely deconstructing their psyche. The Blackwall is a critical part of the main Cyberpunk 2077 story as well as Phantom Liberty, with the rampant and festering AI influence outside its walls presenting a doomsday-level threat to modern society. And this cyberdeck gives players a peek at what that technologically-driven apocalypse could look like. Players called the cyberdeck “absolutely horrifying to use,” explaining that “the glitched-out screams of those affected by it paired with Rogue AI sh*t-talking humans is just nightmare fuel.” However, while many agreed the cyberdeck is “brutal” to use against enemies, several players noted how it’s not exactly practical to use. “It’s strong, but obviously doesn’t one tap bosses and Maxtac. Better to use another Cyberdeck with cheaper things like Overheat and Contagion that could achieve the same,” said one. “Yeah. I mean it’s brutal, but kind of impractical. Contagion and Overheat will do the same at a faster rate, or even Suicide with a Raven,” another wrote. “Looks impractical as f**k, but also rad as hell,” a third added. According to the original poster, the blueprint for the Cyberdeck can be found in Cynosure after finishing the Phantom Liberty story. Players will receive a message from an unknown number, which tells you where to decrypt the shard which then gives you a crafting spec, though it’s appears to only be obtainable if you side with Reed in a crucial story decision.

However, those playing the game on PS4 and Xbox One, we’ve got some bad news for you. The DLC will only be arriving on current-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Here’s everything we know about Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC including it’s release date, story details, and more. Contents Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty release date – Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty price – Story details for Phantom Liberty DLC – Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty trailers – Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty gameplay features – Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty release date Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty will release on September 26, 2023, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Developers CD Projekt Red announced the release date of the DLC at Xbox Games Showcase 2023. The reveal was made through a release trailer which featured several more details about the DLC and how will it tie in with the main storyline of Cyberpunk 2077. Price for Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC Although fans were hopeful that the Phantom Liberty DLC would be a free add-on, as was the case for the recent Edgerunners DLC, that is not the case. Pre-orders for the upcoming DLC have started on the CD Projekt Red website as well as eligible platforms where players will be able to purchase it for a price point of $30 as a paid add-on to the core game. Story details for Phantom Liberty DLC According to CD Projekt Red, Phantom Liberty is a new spy-thriller adventure for Cyberpunk 2077. Players will return as cyber-enhanced mercenary V and embark on a high-stakes mission of espionage and intrigue to save the NUS President. In the dangerous district of Dogtown, they must forge alliances within a web of shattered loyalties and sinister political machinations. The newly launched trailer for the DLC begins with a NUS intelligence analyst named Songbird who contacts V and promises them to provide a cure for their illness if they help the NUSA with a crucial mission. The trailer features a brand new area in Night City as well as weapons that players will use at their disposal. Moreover, Idris Elba is revealed as a NUSA sleeper agent called Solomon Reed who is hinted at as a grey character and might not be as trustworthy as Johnny Silverhand. The Samurai rockstar returns to the lore as he helps V navigate the chaos in this spy thriller which will open new opportunities for players to experience the game like never before. According to CD Projekt Red, the DLC will introduce a new skill tree and abilities for players to employ as a brawler, netrunner, or ruthless mercenary. In the former trailers, Silverhand can also be heard scolding protagonist V after they are heard taking an oath to “faithfully serve the New United States of America.” Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty trailer The first minute-long teaser trailer announcing the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC dropped in September 2022 and can watched here. The trailer gives players a taste of what they can expect from the upcoming expansion, with gameplay, cutscenes, and a bit of voice-over from Johnny Silverhand all included. In another update, CD Projekt Red announced a new radio station, GrowlFM, and it will be hosted by Ash, played by none other than Twitch streamer Sasha Grey. Players are also being asked to submit their own music tracks for Growl FM. The top 12-15 tracks will be featured on the radio station with an additional $3,000 cash prize reward. And during The Game Awards 2022, they released their second official trailer for the Phantom Liberty DLC, which introduced Idris Elba as Solomon Reed, an FIA Agent for the NUSA. The official story and launch trailer for the Phantom Liberty DLC was announced on Xbox Games Showcase 2023 on June 11 which gave players crucial details about the story and unravels the much awaited spy thriller in action. On September 14, 2023, the official cinematic trailer for the expansion was released. It centered on Idris Elba’s character Solomon Reed committing espionage aboard a train, seven years prior to the events of Phantom Liberty. The video then depicts Elba’s character in “007 mode” as he escapes an ambush after being betrayed by his partner Songbird, who plays a vital role in designating V missions in the DLC. Now that the trailer has dropped one of the major bombs regarding the lore and Solomon’s motives, it will be fairly interesting to see how the character’s actions play out in the Phantom Liberty expansion. CD Projekt Red dropped the official launch trailer on September 25, 2023, a day before the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion. The trailer includes several voice lines from some of the main characters of the expansion like Songbird, Johnny Silverhands, Solomon Reed, and more. It also shows how Dogtown, the new area of the expansion, looks with new points of interest, weapons, a brilliant background score, and an idea of how the story takes shape that will decide the fate of V and other characters. Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty gameplay features At Gamescom 2023, the official gameplay features were unveiled in a 3-minute-long trailer showcasing all the new additions arriving with the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC and the free update 2.0 for the base game on PC and consoles. The trailer begins by showcasing the new weaponry that players will have access to in order to combat cyber-psychos and other enemies in the game. Whether it’s a powerful marksman rifle or a Katana fused with a monowire, the DLC will allow V to go on a killing rampage unlike any other. Phantom Liberty will also introduce a new overclocking feature to Cyberware mods, allowing players to unleash V’s full potential while engaging in combat in Night City. Numerous new perks, including Air Dash, a variety of Finishers, and the ability to deflect bullets with a Katana and draw V closer to enemies, will be added. If you are a ruthless Netrunner enjoying the chaos with Johnny’s relic in your head, a bunch of new Relic perks like Spatial Mapping, Limiter Removal, and Launch Override will be introduced with Phantom Liberty. In addition to the other thrilling additions, the game will also feature a vast array of new vehicles that V can use to navigate Night City. A user on X observed that the icons for forthcoming Skill Tree features in the game contain silhouettes of Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime characters David, Lucy, and Rebecca. This could be a further indication that the DLC content the players may receive, might also contain references to the anime. The highlight of the upcoming features, however, will be vehicular combat, in which players will be able to inflict wrath using the weapons mounted to their cars, remotely hacking enemy vehicles, and even firing while leaning out of a car window during a chase. These features will not only be a part of the upcoming expansion but will also be offered to owners of the base game for absolutely free.

Cyberpunk 2077 lead dev responds to crunch backlash CD Projekt RedAdam Badowksi, the head of CD Projekt Red, has responded publicly following a report that the studio would be enforcing mandatory six-day working weeks for all staff in the lead up to the release of Cyberpunk 2077. Although Badowski had previously stated that they would avoid crunch as much as possible, to buck the industry trend, it was uncovered in a report from Bloomberg that this was not going to be the case. With the game already being delayed twice, another delay was not an option, according to the studio bosses, and so all of the development team would have to start doing six-day weeks. On September 30, Badowski responded to the reports, after the studio-wide email was sent to press, explaining their position further. “These last six weeks are our final sprint on a project we’ve all spent much of our lives on. Something we care for deeply,” he explained. “The majority of the team understands the push, especially in light of the fact that we’ve just sent the game to cert, and every day brings us visibly closer to shipping a game we want to be proud of.” https://t.co/Ie5W0O7iiv pic.twitter.com/IJBZ3IIT6m — Adam Badowski⚡️ (@AdamBadowski) September 30, 2020 “This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make, but everyone is well compensated for every extra hour they put in. And, like in recent years, 10% of the annual profit our company generates in 2020 will be split directly among the team.” When news of enforced overtime broke, many were calling for the game to simply be delayed again, rather than having more stress on the developers. Some even suggested boycotting the game entirely as a result. The community will now have to gauge Badowski’s response, and how it measures up to their expectations of the acclaimed studio.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a sneaky Witcher 3 easter egg CD Projekt RedCyberpunk 2077 is set to release in November, but those lucky enough to have played it early have confirmed that a Witcher 3 easter egg is discoverable very early on in the game’s narrative. Few games have ever been as anticipated as Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red, the studio behind the universally acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, announced the game way back in May 2012 and, over eight years later, fans are still waiting. However, assuming all goes well in the final stages of the game’s development, it will finally be in players’ hands-on November 19. Some lucky individuals have already managed to get their hands on it, and confirmed that a Ciri easter egg is discoverable in Cyberpunk’s opening hours. Witcher easter egg in Cyberpunk 2077 So, just how and where can this easter egg be found? Well, GameSpot report that an option players are met with in the game’s early hours is to visit V’s office. Upon arriving at her office, players are able to have a dig through her desk, which is where you’ll find the easter egg. In V’s drawer, there is a ‘Retro Gaming’ magazine and The Witcher 3 is the magazine’s retro title of the month. The cover star is Ciri, the sole Princess of Cintra and secondary protagonist of CD Projekt Red’s 2015 game. The Witcher 3 was a wildly loved game, but its popularity has only increased in the years since its launch, with Henry Cavill playing the role of Geralt, while Ciri is played by Freya Allan. Given the prominence of the easter egg, so early on in Cyberpunk 2077’s narrative, fans are eagerly anticipating more allusions and teasers dropped into the game by its developers.

Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay stream announced – when and how to watch CD Projekt RedFans anticipating CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 will get a taste of gameplay in late August where the developers will showcase new footage in a live stream. According to an announcement on the game’s website, the footage will be a 15-minute cut of what’s been shown to game journalists at Gamescom. Additionally, there will be interviews with the developers and insight into their creative decisions. What will be shown in the footage? “Expect a lot of insight into the thought process behind creative decisions, information about Pacifica—one of the districts of Night City—and TONS of stuff on playstyles you’ll be able to adopt when you launch Cyberpunk 2077 next year,” the announcement reads. Read More: Cyberpunk 2077 coming to Google Stadia – Cyberpunk 2077 is a sci-fi role-playing game set in the fictional world of ‘Night City’. There is a variety of combat options at the player’s disposal including ranged and melee weapons. The game also features actor Keanu Reeves who is no stranger to cyberpunk dystopian settings having starred in the Matrix Trilogy and has recently been announced for the Matrix 4. Given Reeves’ newfound popularity following a ‘breathtaking’ appearance at E3, it’s possible we could see more from him in this footage. Where and when can you watch the stream? The live broadcast will air on CD Projekt Red’s official Twitch and Mixer channels and is scheduled to begin on August 30 at 11AM PST. “This stream will be available for everyone to watch, so all of you, wherever you are, have a chance to feel a bit of gamescom — or any other trade show — at home. Hosting the entire thing will be our very own Hollie Bennett, our UK head of comms, and the dev line up will include some familiar faces you know and like,” they say in the announcement. The developers also said that they planned to debut the gameplay at PAX West, but there had been a change of plans and they will be streaming of Warsaw instead. “There are many logistical (and some creative) reasons behind this decision, but the most important thing we want to say is that we’re sorry for the change of plans,” they said. Cyberpunk 2077 is scheduled to release on April 16, 2020 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. A Stadia version has also been announced, but no release date has been revealed yet.

Cyberpunk 2077 devs responds to “clickbait” rumors of microtransactions CD Projekt Red[jwplayer 91I9RIGm] After a slew of rumors and misinformation, CD Projekt Red have cleared up some confusion surrounding Cyberpunk 2077 and its implementation of microtransactions. With Cyberpunk 2077 fast approaching on November 19, 2020, fans are eager to learn more about the first-person shooter. The game promises to be one of the most intricate and detailed RPGs on the market, with a fantastic sci-fi aesthetic, to boot – and from everything that we’ve seen thus far, it seems like it’s going to deliver. Some messaging about the game was muddled, however, after a President and Joint CEO of CD Projekt Red, Adam Kicinski, mentioned that the title will have microtransactions, which went against statements suggesting the opposite. Now, the developers have cleared up the situation once and for all. Nothing changed. Cyberpunk 2077 is a single player game with zero microtransactions. One single purchase. No tricks. Don’t believe the clickbait. https://t.co/qX0iZwsAf2 — Cyberpunk 2077 (@CyberpunkGame) September 7, 2020 According to CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077’s single-player component will have no microtransctions of any kind, which is certainly welcome news after the confusion. What will have microtransactions, however, is the multiplayer component of the game. Details surrounding this aspect are scarce; however, it’s a completely separate project from Cyberpunk 2077 made by a completely separate team. As of the time of writing, it’s unknown what the microtransactions will be when it comes to the multiplayer campaign. The developer did confirm that it will treat “your money with respect,” although what exactly that means is unclear. Cyberpunk multiplayer/online, which is a separate project, will have some microtransactions, but we said that a year ago already. Like always, expect us treating your money with respect. — Cyberpunk 2077 (@CyberpunkGame) September 7, 2020 At the very least, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that the microtransactions in the multiplayer mode would be purely cosmetic – but this is purely speculation. While the inclusion of microtransactions at all is sure to disappoint some people, it’s nice to see that the developers are concerned with their players’ hard-earned cash. The actual implementation at launch could be a completely different story, but for right now, it seems like relatively good news. Cyberpunk 2077 is set to launch on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia in 2020, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions launching in 2021.

Cyberpunk 2077 dev reveals more story details and confirms it’s aimed at adults CDProjektREDPawel Sasko – lead quest designer for Cyberpunk 2077 – has discussed the upcoming game’s story, and hinted at how satirical and dark it will be. CD Projekt RED’s upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 has amassed significant excitement from the gaming community. Many players are looking forward to a dystopian RPG from the studio that brought The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt; acclaimed as one of the best games of all time. On August 6 Polish Radio sat down with Pawel Sasko, the game’s lead quest designer. He discussed many aspects of Cyberpunk 2077. Now though, thanks to Reddit user TheNeonArcade, the key moments from the interview have been translated and summarized. Cyberpunk 2077 is set in the dystopian Night City, a dark imagining of a future metropolis in California. Players control a mercenary known as ‘V’, exploring the open world and completing missions. While all gameplay released so far has pointed towards a mature experience, this was confirmed by Sasko. Sasko stated that the game’s goal is to tell a movie-like adult experience, exploring subjects that are pertinent to modern day society. In other words, the game will be satirical and try to combat difficult, complex subjects, that Sasko says society has a tendency to avoid. One of the main topics the game will look to consider is morality, as the game throws V’s morals into question, simultaneously causing the player to evaluate their own behaviour and choices. This will be done through the game’s main narrative, as V tries to escape the metaphorical limits Night City places on him. His interactions with Johnny Silverhand (the character played by Keanu Reeves), are key to the overall plot, and will “shape the game’s ending”. While much still remains unclear about Cyberpunk 2077, it certainly seems CDProjektRED are looking to create an immersive, complex game, that players will become invested in. It was this kind of attention to detail that led to The Witcher 3 being such a memorable game. H/T: ComicBook Cyberpunk 2077 will release on PC, Xbox and Playstation on April 16, 2020.

Cyberpunk 2077 dev reveals insane amount of content & side missions CD Projekt RedCyberpunk 2077 is one of the 2020’s most highly-anticipated games, and a developer from CD Projekt Red has added to the hype after revealing more details about the dystopian open-world RPG. Initially announced in 2012, confirmed in 2018, and fully revealed in 2019, Cyberpunk 2077 is arguably the game that most people are looking forward to playing in 2020. Although the recent announcement that pushed back its release date a few months definitely disappointed eager fans, there’s no doubt that the anticipation will only continue to grow as more information about it surfaces between now and September. The latest news came courtesy of CD Projekt Red’s John Mamais, who went into details about the game in a recent interview with OnMSFT. Read More: Cyberpunk 2077 content plan leaked – According to Mamais, in addition to boasting what most already know will be an incredible main campaign, Cyberpunk 2077 will also feature a massive amount of side content for players to enjoy and use to level up their character. Cyberpunk 2077 – street stories and side quests Mamais revealed that the game will have a “couple of layers,” – a passive layer and street stories, as well as additional “minor activities.” All this side content will give players plenty to do when they’re not pursuing the main storyline, so it’s safe to say this won’t be a game that most will finish quickly. “There’s like 15 people doing these open-world quests,” he said. “There’s a couple of layers. There’s a passive layer, which is the vendors, then there’s the STSs, which are the street stories. I think there’s around 75 street stories. Then there’s minor activities, as well.” Read More: Cyberpunk 2077 producer hints at Switch port – But what are street stories? According to the developer, they’re “like little quests. There’s story but there’s not, like, advanced cinematic storytelling sequences so much. They’re a way to explore the world and level up your character.” Global Illumination lighting Mamais also touched upon Cyberpunk 2077’s lighting system, called Global Illumination, which uses a group of algorithms in 3D computer graphics to make the lighting in 3D scenes look more realistic. “There is some stuff that hasn’t been talked about such as the way that it’s been lit,” he revealed. “Our director keeps talking about the real-time global illumination system which we haven’t really seen in its full beauty yet. No one in the public has seen how it’s finally going to look. It’s going to look more breathtaking than we’ve seen so far.” Everyone already thinks the game looks great before even seeing it with this lighting system in place, so in all likelihood, it’ll end up looking even more incredible on release. Cyberpunk 2077 is scheduled for release on September 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia. It was originally slated to launch on April 16, but was delayed after CD Projekt Red revealed that they wanted more to polish the game and finish playtesting.

Cyberpunk 2077 delayed until September 2020 CD Projekt RedCD Projekt Red have announced that Cyberpunk 2077 will have a significant delay, until September 17 2020. The original release date was April 16, 2020. Easily the most anticipated game of the year, CD Projekt’s first game away from the Witcher series hit critical mass after Keanu Reeves announced the initial release date of April 16 at E3. Unfortunately, given the scope of the game, this date has been deemed unachievable by the Polish development company. On January 16, CD Projekt Red posted on their Twitter account to say that the game is currently “complete and playable”, but there is still work to be done. We have important news regarding Cyberpunk 2077’s release date we’d like to share with you today. pic.twitter.com/aWdtR0grYV — CD PROJEKT RED (@CDPROJEKTRED) January 16, 2020 The news may not come as a surprise to longtime CD Projekt fans, who also delayed their critically acclaimed Witcher 3. That game was actually delayed twice, initially set for holiday 2014, then February 2015, before eventually releasing in April 2015. The studio has a reputation now for massive and lengthy games, packed with content, and hopefully, this delay will mean an improvement in all areas. There is no doubt that players would rather a more finished and polished project, even if it means a delay. Fingers crossed that there will not be a second delay, like the Witcher 3. Cyberpunk 2077 is based on the tabletop game Cyberpunk 2020, and is set in Night City – a vast and sprawling metropolis. It seems this is a major reason for the delay, as they explain: “Night City is massive – full of stories, content and places to visit, but due to the sheer scale and complexity of it all, we need more time to finish playtesting, fixing and polishing.” They conclude that they want Cyberpunk 2077 to be “our crowning achievement of this generation and postponing launch will give us the precious months we need to make the game perfect.” The news comes only a day after Square Enix announced they would be delaying another of the year’s most anticipated titles, the remake of Final Fantasy VII. This delay was only a month though, until April.

Cyberpunk 2077 delayed until November CD Projekt Red[jwplayer 91I9RIGm]Polish developer CD Projekt Red announced that Cyberpunk 2077 will be delayed for a second time. The wildly anticipated first-person shooter RPG will miss its September release date, and will instead hit stores this Fall. Cyberpunk was initially slated for April 2020, however at the beginning of the year it was pushed back until September. On June 18, the Polish developer announced that the AAA title would be facing yet another delay. In a post on Twitter, the team behind the RPG apologized to fans and explained the reason behind their tough decision. Fortunately, players will still be exploring Midnight City this holiday season. Cyberpunk 2077 delayed again In a tweet on June 18, the Polish team revealed that Cyberpunk would be getting pushed back until November. “We have decided to move the launch of Cyberpunk until November 19,” the post read. The developer then addressed fans that will be upset by the update. “We are fully aware that making such a decision costs us your trust. And despite, we think it’s the right decision to make.” Despite the delay, CD Projekt assured players that the game has actually been completed. “Cyberpunk is completed both content and gameplay wise. The quests, the cutscenes, the skills and items; all the adventures Night City has to offer – it’s all there. But with such an abundance of content and complex systems interweaving, we need to properly go through everything.” An important development update pic.twitter.com/uFGrt9Tqpi — Cyberpunk 2077 (@CyberpunkGame) June 18, 2020 Interestingly, journalists are being given access to it to play it right now for previews being published on June 25. So we should be hearing a lot more about the game in the coming weeks. Cyberpunk was initially teased way back in 2012 by the Polish developer, and in 2013 viewers were treated to a gorgeous cinematic trailer. Development for the game kicked into high-gear in 2015, following the release of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt Recent reports have stated that 2077 has over three times the choices for completing missions as the fantasy RPG had, and in an interview in June, CDPR stated that its quests are “living” and continue to happen regardless of the player’s actions. While the announcement will no doubt upset some, the developer has proven themselves before with incredibly complex game design such as The Witcher 3, which is one of the most critically acclaimed games of the last decade. From everything we know so far, 2077 is shaping up to be extremely ambitious. With Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X slated to release this holiday 2020, Cyberpunk looks to be the perfect game to usher us into the next gen.

Cyberpunk 2077 content plan leaked early on YouTube CD Projekt REDCyberpunk 2077 developers CD Projekt RED are set to release “previously undisclosed” information about the game to the public, according to a leak. The game devs have held several events in the past whereby game details were exclusively made available to selected parties, and sections of such presentations were never made public. Although, after announcing a delay to their original release date, it would appear that they’re now ready to provide fans with some uplifting news. A closer look at the game could soon be on the way. The announcement of incoming updates about the game’s progress is set to be made during the Tapai Game Show, according to leaked information reported by VGR. Read More: The most believable GTA 6 leaks so far – Unlike E3 2019, when things were kept very much under wraps where Cyberpunk 2077 was concerned, a source states the dev team are set to also reveal some more gameplay clips during the conference as well. Some of it has already been leaked, too, as seen in the video below. There are some snippets of in-game footage and behind the scenes look at the work being done to complete the game. It’s worth noting that the upload includes both English and Chinese segments. The event is going to be held between February 6 to February 9, located at the Nangang Exhibition Center in Taiwan. Leaks that have been uncovered in the past have revealed glimpses of the highly anticipated world, including a first-look at different parts of the map. While that might have been enough to satisfy a section of people interested in the project, there’s no doubt that fans will be wanting to see more of it in the coming weeks and months as we approach its release. The launch window for the project is September 17, 2020 at the time of writing, after it was delayed from its original release date of April 16. This gives the team a few more months to work on it before it’s released to the masses, but more cynical fans of the franchise might expect this date to change once again in the coming months.

Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer confirmed by CD Projekt RED: Everything you need to know CD Projekt RedCD Projekt Red have confirmed rumors that multiplayer will be coming to Cyberpunk 2077 after single player is released, and they’re already looking to hire people to fill out their multiplayer division. Fans are learning alot about the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game over the past few days, and now some new information has been uploaded into our cybersystems. CD Projekt Red confirmed on September 4th that multiplayer is in the works for their upcoming open-world RPG, and revealed that they are currently in the process of hiring people to help make that happen. 1/2 Until now, the only thing we said about multi was that it was in R&D. As we’re getting closer to launching ‘single player’ Cyberpunk 2077 in Apr. 2020, we’d like to confirm that multiplayer’s in the works! If you feel like lending us your skills apply: https://t.co/QQV6qsuvhk pic.twitter.com/GHbiS5N3DT — CD PROJEKT RED (@CDPROJEKTRED) September 4, 2019 In their announcement tweet, CD Projekt Red included a link to their Jobs page, which now includes a whole Multiplayer section dedicated to Cyberpunk, as they’re seeking programmers, engineers, artists, and more. In a follow up tweet, CD Projekt Red noted that their plans were to deliver the Cyberpunk 2077 single experience in April of 2020, then follow up with free DLC and single-player content, and then implement multiplayer. The reaction to the inclusion of multiplayer to once what was considered an exclusively single player experience has been mixed, with some expressing interest in how either co-op or PVP could be implemented, and others expressing concerns that multiplayer reduces the quality of the single player experience. Earlier this week, CD Projekt Red also confirmed that cutscenes would only be shot in first-person, essentially confirming that third-person won’t be in the game.

Cyberpunk 2077 coming to Google Stadia: Everything we know so far Google/CD Projekt RedCD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077 will be coming to Google Stadia in addition to PS4, Xbox and PC, Google announced. Prior to Gamescom’s opening ceremonies, Google showcased multiple games that will be coming to their streaming platform including Mortal Kombat 11, Farming Simulator 19, Grid, and Watchdogs: Legion. In a separate video, Google posted a developer diary update detailing what players can expect in the highly-anticipated title. When is Cyberpunk 2077 coming out on Stadia? Cyberpunk 2077 is set to be one of 2020’s hottest titles. Google did not reveal a release date for the Stadia version of Cyberpunk 2077, but said it would be “coming soon” in 2020. The game is currently scheduled to be released on April 16, 2020 on other platforms. What is Google Stadia? Stadia is a stream-based gaming service, users will still have to purchase games to play them. However, players won’t need to download and install patches to play their games in 4K. The Founder’s Edition for Stadia is currently available for pre-order. It will come with a controller, three months of Stadia pro, and a Chromecast ultra. Additionally, Destiny 2 will come packaged with it already added to player’s library Stadia aims to provide users with an advanced gaming experience without needing to enhance their hardware. Cyberpunk 2077 could be a breathtaking experience. While some are excited for the new platform, others think it’s too early. Xbox’s Phil Spencer doesn’t think that streaming will replace traditional methods of gaming quite yet. Speaking with Gamespot Spencer said, “It’s one of the directions the industry is headed… To me, it’s about what you as a gamer want to do, and I’m not trying to tell you that owning a box that plays video games is a bad thing or that somehow that’s not needed I think that the cloud inevitability as part of gaming is absolutely true, but we have more compute devices around us than we’ve ever had, whether it’s your phone, a Surface Hub, or an Xbox. The world where compute devices are gone and it’s all coming from the cloud just isn’t the world that we live in today.” The Google Stadia Founder’s Edition is scheduled to launch in November, 2019.

Cyberpunk 2077 at E3 2019: Schedule, release date rumors, gameplay details CD Projekt Red have kept their cards firmly to their chest where Cyberpunk 2077 is concerned, but fans have set their sights on the E3 2019 trade fair as a place where they could finally reveal a release date, a closer look at gameplay, and more. So, let’s take a look at what we know so far… The game studio has very much taken a patient and rather quiet to the development of their new flagship game, with very little being announced to the public in the process. With the E3 trade fair very much around the corner, taking place between June 11-14, Red have already announced some details about their activity at the event and it looks like the long wait for more Cyberpunk 2077 information will soon be over. Cyberpunk 2077’s E3 plans CD Projekt Red confirmed that they would be at the annual E3 event back in February. Since then, some of the studio’s plans for their attendance have been announced as well. Those who have been following news about Cyberpunk will also remember that we got to see a glimpse of gameplay at the E3 2018 event. In 2019, though, fans will be able to see more from the game, but there won’t be a playable demo available for players to try out. That, we know. Red’s Global Community Lead Marcin Momot addressed one the biggest questions people had in the run-up to the event on May 23. “To answer many questions about the demo and whether or not Cyberpunk 2077 will be playable at E3, we are going to be hosting gameplay presentations (game played by us) in that cinema,” he tweeted. To answer many questions about the demo and whether or not @CyberpunkGame will be playable at E3 — we are going to be hosting gameplay presentations (game played by us) in that cinema. — Marcin Momot (@Marcin360) May 23, 2019 The developer will be doing two showings, one in public and one behind closed doors this year, which fans will be looking forward to. When more information is revealed about their E3 schedule, we’ll be sure to update this article. When will Cyberpunk 2077 be released? The official release date of Cyberpunk 2077, revealed by Keanu Reeves who will also be a character in the game, is April 16, 2020. CD Projekt Red had previously revealed, in an announcement on a Polish forum, that the launch of Cyberpunk will be accompanied by the release of another unnamed Triple-A RPG in the same year. “As for the strategy of the CD Projekt Capital Group for the years 2016-2021, its plans for the release of the second AAA game until 2021 remain unchanged,” the post states. “We are currently focusing on the production and promotion of Cyberpunk, so we do not want to comment on further projects.” Whether or not we will see both at E3 this year is unknown, but it certainly sounds like a possibility based on those suggestions. Cyberpunk 2077 Standard Edition leaked On June 7, an image showing what appears to be the standard edition of Cyberpunk 2077 was leaked online, presumably a promotion image for E3. If the leak is accurate, the standard edition of the game is a very generous offering, with a map of Night City, a postcard, a ‘game knowledge booklet’, stickers, the soundtrack, art book and a wallpaper. More Cyberpunk 2077 game information So, now that we know to expect Cyberpunk 2077 in the near future, it is worth taking a look at what kind of game it will be… Will there be a beta for Cyberpunk 2077? Those hoping for a chance to get their hands on Cyberpunk 2077 before the release date will be disappointed. The team said there are no plans to have an open or closed beta of Cyberpunk 2077. Saying there are no plans is slightly different than saying there will not be a beta, since plans could change as Cyberpunk 2077 gets closer to release. But, it is not looking likely for a Cyberpunk 2077 beta. Will Cyberpunk 2077 be first-person? In a drastic change for CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 will primarily be a first-person shooter. There will still be plenty of third-person action as well, notably in driving scenes, that should make fans of the Witcher series fell at home. There’s already a 48 minute demo of uncut Cyberpunk 2077, which shows a variety of gameplay mechanics – all of which are subject to change. Will Cyberpunk 2077 have a battle royale mode? According to Red, the multiplayer portion of Cyberpunk 2077 will not be a battle royale. The developer left no doubts when responding to a fan who asked if battle royale will be a part of the game, responding with a humorous “no” GIF. Can you create your character in Cyberpunk 2077? Yes, there will be an extensive character creator in Cyberpunk 2077 that will let you fine tune the look of your character. Also of interest is the ability to customize your character’s background, which will lead to different narrative paths later in the game. reported by SegmentNext.However, that interview – which was said to be from Cyberpunk game designer Mike Pondsmith – has been completely debunked. Cyberpunk 2077 will be on the same timeline as the other titles and he confirmed that himself by posting to Reddit on May 1. “There’s still an incorrect interview floating around the interwebs that states that Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk 2020 are separate timelines,” Pondsmith posted. “The timeline is unified, with the path moving from Cyberpunk 2013 thru Cyberpunk 2020, then through Cyberpunk Red and up to Cyberpunk 2077.” Cyberpunk 2077 missions more ‘complex’ than The Witcher The quest director working on Cyberpunk 2077, Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, has revealed that the missions involved in this game will be a little more complex than that of The Witcher, for a number of reasons. “There are many ways to complete missions based on how you’ve created your character,” the director said during an interview with AreaJugones. “I think this is something that makes our game different from The Witcher. “Because in The Witcher we had a basic loop in the gameplay, finding non-linearity in the missions section. This time, the gameplay will also have a non-linear character. I think this is where the big difference lies in terms of the complexity of our missions.” Cyberpunk players will also be given the benefit of the doubt when trying out the “stupidest” things in missions, according to Quest Designer Philipp Weber. Weber took part in a podcast with GameStar and during the interview he explained that one of the advantages of the new game is that game over screens won’t appear if you lose track of a target – as is the case in other games. Instead, game over screens will only pop up if your player dies in-game. How big is the map in Cyberpunk 2077? We already have some interesting details about the map in Cyberpunk 2077, which will, unsurprisingly, be “huge”. There are a total of six districts in Night City, but how large they are isn’t an exact science. Because there is a lot verticality, the map will be both wide and tall – so precise square meters of space is difficult to tell. Cyberpunk 2077’s official Facebook page gave this response when asked about map size compared to the Witcher 3. 500 Many fans will be looking forward to Projekt Red’s appearance at E3 2019 and as more details flood in about their plans for the event, we’ll be sure to keep this article regularly updated.

Customer calls 911 after retailer says Xbox Series X out of stock Pixabay, diegoparra / MicrosoftA 911 dispatcher has taken to Reddit for a public service announcement after a shopper decided they needed to call the police to investigate a store that claimed they were sold out of Xbox Series X consoles. It’s the PSA you never thought you’d have to hear, but we’re still in 2020 and, apparently, Bizarro World behavior continues to run rampant. With next-gen mania in full force, the console community’s most dedicated fans are antsy to get their hands on PS5 and Xbox Series X systems. One such hopeful customer was apparently so impatient to get their system that they determined a shop was being suspiciously withholding and, in an escalation like no other, deserved to be investigated by the police. Spurred by a supply deficit, a 911 dispatcher apparently received a call demanding that the police force a store to reveal the contents of their back room. As such, a coworker took to Reddit to let people know that is not a good use of anyone’s time. As posted by ‘Ghoppe2’ on Reddit’s Xbox Series X, 911 dispatchers have somehow gotten roped into the craze surrounding shortages of next-gen consoles. With a “911 dispatcher here” title, they jumped right into a PSA for gamers who believe their rights to an Xbox Series X are being violated. “Guys if the store is sold out please don’t call 911 to have the police tell the store to look in the back. Other than the dispatcher laughing at you you will accomplish nothing. Be patient.” For people wondering if Ghoppe2 was simply speculating about an unlikely, hypothetical scenario, they were quick to elaborate that the post was, indeed, based on “an actual call a colleague took.” The demand for the next-gen systems, both PS5 and Xbox Series X, are well-documented. Chances are that you or someone you know have experienced some degree of frustration when trying to add one of the highly touted consoles to your online cart or find one in person. But, while the experience trying to pry one away from a retailer may be annoying, please refrain from involving local authorities. As the 911 dispatcher reminds people, even in times of materialistic distress, we must remember to “be patient.”

Cuphead’s The Delicious Last Course DLC is selling quicker than the base game Studio MDHRDespite only being out for less than two weeks, Cuphead’s The Delicious Last Course DLC has already sold one million copies — reaching the milestone faster than the base game did after its 2017 launch. Cuphead became a fan-favorite game quickly after its original launch in 2017, and its popularity doesn’t seem to be dying down. In fact, the fandom seems to only be growing as new content sells like hotcakes. Developer Studio MDHR announced that Cuphead’s newest DLC, The Delicious Last Course, has already sold over one million copies across all available platforms since arriving on June 30. Reaching the record in less than two weeks, the DLC is selling out quicker than the original game did when it launched back in 2017 according to the studio. “We are just beside ourselves with joy and appreciation,” developers said in a blog post. “These words certainly do not encompass how grateful we are, but to the amazing Cuphead players worldwide we say nonetheless: thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” They then went on to add that this DLC feels like the perfect way to round off their original title: “From start to finish, The Delicious Last Course was a true labor of love. “Rounding out the original Cuphead story with this Delicious Last Course has been a wonderful journey, and perhaps the most wonderful part of all has been sharing it with such an unbelievable community. “From your fantastic fan art creations to your stories of discovering the game with friends and loved ones, to your kind words of support as we worked diligently at finishing The Delicious Last Course, you have been with us every step of the way.” Cuphead won over the hearts of fans for its amazing audio and visual design. The game also features challenging and fluid run and gun gameplay that has made it one of the more difficult games to release in recent years. The 2017 title was first made available to Xbox and Windows users but was later allowed to be ported to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Steam. Since its release, the game has slowly curated a loyal fanbase. The latest DLC adds many new bosses, levels, and even some new characters. The Delicious Last Course also includes the brand new playable character Ms Chalice.

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC review – A recipe for success StudioMDHRAfter several years, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC has dropped, and fans of the game are in for a tasty treat as StudioMDHR’s commitment and dedication to the game’s unique style and aesthetic have paid off. From the moment it was revealed, gamers worldwide were equally captivated and absorbed by Cuphead’s endless charm and individuality, making it look like it was going to stand on its own in the gaming market. Since its 2017 release, Cuphead has sold millions of copies as players have been drawn to its painstakingly precise rubber hose animation and surprising difficulty. It’s taken several years for StudioMDHR to finally release Cuphead’s long-awaited DLC – The Delicious Last Course – but the company’s exercise in patience and attention to detail has seen them whip up another sumptuous banquet of gaming excellence. Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course key details Developer: StudioMDHR – Price: $7.99/£6.79 – Release date: June 30, 2022 – Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch & Steam – Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course trailer StudioMDHR have cooked up something special I’m not going to make a meal out of this, but it’s clear to anyone that Cuphead’s story is merely a few cutscenes – albeit gorgeous hand-drawn ones – of exposition to give you some basis for taking on bosses. In Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, you won’t be collecting contracts for the Devil, you’ll be acquiring ingredients for Chef Saltbaker so that he can concoct the ultimate Wondertart. So, it’s up to Cuphead, Mugman, and the debuting Ms. Chalice to gather these resources. The rest of the storytelling is passively explained through NPCs and the ongoing narrative of boss fights. Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is restaurant quality Just like Cuphead, The Delicious Last Course DLC throws up even more tough, and potentially grueling, boss encounters for you to overcome as they change up their attack patterns and even the scenery itself to become more dangerous. Glumstone The Giant is a wonderfully dynamic fight featuring spiky gnomes, grizzly bears, and even the insides of Glumstone himself. There’s another tactical mid-air scuffle in a plane, this time against Esther Winchester, and the Moonshine Mob are out for your head — which can end very badly if you’re not paying attention! As always, each fight is rife with hidden details, meticulous design, and an abundance of creativity in its attack phases to ensure that each and every attempt isn’t boring. The game’s shopkeeper, Porkrind, has new weapons for you to try out as well as new charms, but it’s in Ms. Chalice where the individuality of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course pays off. No longer a spectral entity, by equipping a cookie, players can now take complete control of her as a new playable character. She has a double jump, an invincible roll, she can auto-parry when dashing, and has 4HP compared to the usual 3HP. Whilst this might sound overpowered, her single jumps are far weaker than Cuphead and Mugman’s, and you basically strip yourself of charms too. Along with new bosses, there’s a secret boss – which we won’t spoil – and StudioMDHR has addressed one of the original criticisms of the game, the Run ‘n’ Gun levels, and instead opted for the King’s Leap. Consisting of five different and fun mini-bosses, the only way to win is to become the parry perfectionist. As with the main game’s bosses, every fight feels distinctly different and will ultimately test your skills all the way to the gauntlet – an arduous boss rush. Given that this is only DLC, don’t expect to be toiling away on this new isle for hours. There are seven main bosses, as well as the five brief King’s Leap encounters. Seasoned players will likely conquer the main content in a handful of hours, but it’s hard to complain about that when it has such a small price tag. The introduction of King’s Leap is more than welcome, but it’s still a larger extension of the original’s mausoleum side fights. So it does feel like a new level type might be needed for a Cuphead sequel as right now you have traditional bosses and plane bosses. Another variation might freshen things up. Blink and you’ll miss something It’s no secret that StudioMDHR’s work on Cuphead is laborious to ensure that every single detail makes sense and fits the theme. It’s laudable and ends up with some of the most visually striking and eye-catching content possible. From the gangly, deer-on-ice flailing of the Chess Knight to Mortimer Freeze’s multiple wardrobe changes, you’ll likely stumble across something new on each visit. Another area in which Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course excels is in the music department as intense compositions are the perfect accompaniment for the on-screen chaos you’ll face. Each score fits the situation and is so deeply layered that your brain will become a swirling cyclone of jazz notes. Throw in sound bytes and more drapes of personality from bosses and it’s clear why, despite only being DLC, it’s taken the devs so long to make this. 9/10 Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is a delectable meal of polished excellence that I only wish had a tiny bit more substance. But what you do have is faultless and flavorsome and is a palatable plate of exquisite art and game design. No matter how long it takes, any future Cuphead content will be welcomed with open arms. Reviewed on PlayStation 5.

Cuphead The Delicious Last Course DLC: Release date, gameplay, trailers, more StudioMDHRCuphead and Mugman are finally back in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. The long-awaited DLC to the 2017 smash-hit has a release date and lots of information to whet the appetite of hungry fans. It goes without saying that Cuphead is a unique game like no other, in terms of its art style, gameplay, and did we say its gorgeous art style? Cuphead was endearing to many because of its authentic and vintage presentation, paired with its ‘one-more-go’ gameplay. The world of Cuphead is a rich and vibrant one, and it’s only about to get even bigger with Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. Contents Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC release date – Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC gameplay – Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC trailers – Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC release date After a long time without any truly concrete info, Cuphead fans were treated to a June 30, 2022, release date at the 2021 Game Awards. The DLC was first announced way back in June 2018, but it went off the radar for some time. StudioMDHR assured players that the content was very much in the works, and the release date was eventually confirmed. We’re now almost at the release date and it seems like we’re locked in with no delays expected. Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC gameplay One of the biggest new additions to the Cuphead formula will be the inclusion of Ms. Chalice as a playable character. Fans will recognize Ms. Chalice from the Mausoleum missions in the original title, and StduoMDHR have fully incorporated her into proceedings. Herself, Cuphead, and Mugman will be traveling to “D.L.C Island.” From the looks of it, this new land appears to be a mix of westerns, winter wonderlands, and other wondrous locales. More bosses are a brewing, and it’s also hinted that some ‘special cookies’ could will give the able heroes some much-needed extra powers and weapons — courtesy of Chef Salt Baker. Ms. Chalice appears to have her own firing method different from Cuphead and Mugman and boss structures look to be diversifying once more to show that there’s plenty of imagination left in the game. Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC trailers E3 2018 was the first appearance and mention of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, and it gave a brief glimpse into what we could expect in terms of its content, but with no real gameplay. A year later the first news and gameplay of The Delicious Last Course dropped, and, although brief, players were given a sneak peek at some of the game’s levels and new bosses. After a quiet period of over two years, as we said, Cuphead re-emerged at the 2021 Game Awards. This time, we were given a more substantial offering of footage and the release date. The game’s final trailer was shown off at Summer Game Fest 2022 and gave us a look at a new boss, Ms. Chalice in action, and how new elements have been introduced in The Delicious Last Course DLC. Even more big games are due to arrive in 2022, and here are some of the most anticipated: The Elder Scrolls 6 | GTA 6 | Overwatch 2 | Assassin’s Creed Infinity | Wolverine | Spider-Man 2 | Forspoken | KOTR Remake | Wonder Woman | DokeV | FFXVI | Avatar Frontiers of Pandora | Sonic Frontiers | Dragon Age 4 | Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild sequel | The Witcher 3 next-gen patch | God of War Ragnarok | The Last of Us Part 1 Remake

Cuphead DLC: How to solve the Graveyard Puzzle Secret Boss StudioMDHRCuphead’s The Delicious Last Course DLC has introduced a brand new isle to explore and it contains a mysterious Graveyard Puzzle for players to solve. Doing so unlocks a secret boss to face and here’s how you can set up a showdown with them. The new Cuphead DLC has certainly been a few years in the making. After several setbacks and delays, StudioMDHR has finally been able to deliver their long-awaited DLC — The Delicious Last Course. Fans can expect to go another round with the game’s classic, brutal, and testing gameplay, but will do so against new bosses with fresh weapons and abilities. The debut of Ms. Chalice is another handy bonus to spice things up, but there are many secrets lurking on the new isle. One such curiosity is the isle’s Graveyard Puzzle which can be tricky to solve, but we’re here to help. How to unlock Graveyard Puzzle boss in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course In fitting fashion, the solution to the Graveyard Puzzle can be just as painstaking as an actual boss if you don’t know what you’re doing! Unlocking the secret boss will come down to randomly generated factors, so there isn’t one set solution for all. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to follow: You first need to unlock the Graveyard by defeating several of the first area’s bosses. – Get your hands on a coin and purchase the ‘Broken Relic’ from Porkrind’s Shop. – Now, go and speak to the three climbers standing on a podium near the mountain. – We advise you to write down each and every clue that they utter as this will be key to solving the puzzle. – Also, make a note of where they are on the podium as this will determine the order of the tombstones. – You will need to interact with several tombstones in a certain order. – The climber’s phrases are different for everyone e.g “ain’t right they came in third” means the third tombstone will be on the very right. – You will need to pick out the keywords in each piece of dialog to help you decipher the correct positions of the tombstones. – Equip the ‘Broken Relic’ and interact with the tombstones in the order you think is correct, and if successful, the middle tombstone will glow. – If you interact with it, your character will be taken straight to the secret Angel and Devil boss fight. – Hopefully, you’re able to use the information and come up with the right solution to the fiendish Gravestone Puzzle to unlock the secret boss fight.

Cult of the Lamb takes inspiration from roguelike greats with some dark twists Devolver Digital / Massive Monster StudiosCult of the Lamb, a new roguelike from Melbourne-based indie developer Massive Monster Studios, has taken inspiration from many iconic titles in the genre. Though its dark additions and twisted spins on the formula will have not only players coming back for more, but so too their legions of followers. On the surface, Cult of the Lamb is effectively two games merged into one hard-hitting yet thoughtful package. On one hand, there’s the snappy combat portion of the game that has you pushing through room after room of demonic foes, dodging their attacks, timing your own, and scavenging the remains for resources, equipment, and various stat boosts. After the short burst of the first offering, the game flips to its strategic base-building and minion-commanding side. A unique hub world is yours to develop, populate, and influence as you see fit. In doing so, not only does your home territory evolve along with its inhabitants, but so does your potential in combat. Despite this separation in gameplay pillars, it’s the way in which these two distinct components coalesce that sets Cult of the Lamb apart. Once you’re indoctrinated under its many intertwining systems, much like the roguelike greats it takes after, Cult of the Lamb is near-impossible to put down. Strength in numbers As its name implies, Cult of the Lamb is quite literally about amassing your own cult of whimsical creatures. Each time you clear a stage in the action side of the game, you grow your following on the strategy side by ‘rescuing’ various animals and all but forcing them to worship your efforts. With each new cultist added to your group, you’re able to provide commands, putting them to work in one of many ways to further grow your base and empower yourself as a leader. From the look of every follower to the specific placement of any given building, along with which upgrades you seek first, almost everything is customizable to fine-tune your very own twisted faction. Although our early preview halted progress after roughly an hour, the depth to this base-building component immediately became apparent. Whether it’s honing in on specific effigies for direct ability upgrades or building new luxuries to keep your followers satiated, options are plentiful meaning no two players have to follow the same path to success. The combat sections themselves are nothing too complex, however. At least in this initial build, stages feature just a handful of rooms with increasingly difficult enemies before a boss fight to close it out. Dodging incoming melee and ranged attacks by any means is the name of the game. With such a limited pool of health to begin with, just a few hits will end your run. Thus, jumping behind objects in the environment, timing your movements, and perfecting the art of counterattacks is all vital. Similar to the likes of Enter the Gungeon for more than just its overhead view, each room is different from the last, forcing you to react quickly to layouts, enemy attack patterns, and the like. Read More: The Quarry review – Along the way, you’re able to pick which rooms to explore akin to Slay the Spire, swap between a handful of equipment like Rogue Legacy, and choose from a small selection of effects exclusive to that particular run; no different from Hades, Binding of Isaac, and countless other staples. It mostly covers the essentials for the roguelike genre. These encounters last barely a few minutes, keeping you locked in as you rapidly switch between intense fights and the more soothing hub world. As you’re constantly swapping from frenetic combat to calm base building, Cult of the Lamb truly shines. Synergy across these components hooks you right in with that vital ‘just one more run’ feeling the genre is best at, as each action in one half of the game directly impacts the other. Stunning presentation with some minor irritations Even with its many gameplay inspirations, from a visual and thematic standpoint, Cult of the Lamb is evidently in a realm of its own. Its hellish appearance and demonic symbolism punctuate every stage, despite the deceptively charming appearance of the game’s many characters. With a tremendous User Interface to boot tracking quests and navigating dozens of customizable features is all kept fairly simple. Though that’s not to say everything is perfect. Throughout this first session with the game, it became increasingly more difficult to process what was being picked up. As a range of building materials, currencies, and equipment all scatter across the ground before being vacuumed towards the character, it’s tough to gauge what’s actually important. Items are all rather small in the environment and without any distinct color coordination. Not only is it easy to lose track of said items in the background, but it’s all the more challenging to discern between them in the heat of the moment. More often than not after clearing a room, it became a natural response to question what I had even acquired. Similarly, enemies themselves can often struggle to stand out due to the game’s art style. Without much in the way of a bold outline, characters with the same shades as their surroundings can all too easily blend in. A simple solution, at least on paper, could be to implement colored outlines. Perhaps red for enemies, blue for building materials, green for equipment, and so on. It’s a minor gripe in the grand scheme but for a roguelike with countless hours of replayability, this particular frustration could certainly be a larger hindrance in the full release. Fortunately, there’s still a good amount of time left to make any final adjustments ahead of Cult of the Lamb’s August 11 launch date. Regardless, this upcoming indie game is unquestionably one to keep an eye on and one that could soon make the hours vanish as you look to form the ultimate cult.

Cult of the Lamb gains 100,000 followers after promising to add sex to the game Massive MonsterIndie title Cult of the Lamb gains 100,000 followers on Twitter overnight after promising to add sex to the game. Cult of the Lamb was developed and released by Devolver Digital who are known best for their indie titles. The rogue-like strategy game is a single-player experience that can be enjoyed on all platforms. Over a year has passed since Cult of the Lamb was released in June of 2022. Since then the player base has begun to drop on platforms such as Steam. Currently, the game averages less than 2,000 players on PC which is down considerably from the 50,000 average player count that was posted shortly after it came to PC. Cult of the Lamb has seemingly begun to lose its hype but one post to Twitter/X may have changed that narrative. Overnight, the official Twitter/X account of Cult of the Lamb has welcomed over 100,000 new followers based on one promise. Cult of the Lamb claims sex will come in early 2024 Before revealing that they had plans of adding sex to the game, Cult of the Lamb had just under 300,000 followers on Twitter/X. In a post made on November 28, the team claimed that they would deliver on their promise of adding mature content to the game if they reached 300,000 followers before the end of the year. “We will add sex to the game if we hit 300k followers by the end of the year,” said the post. This announcement came after multiple players asked for the feature added to the game. Which developer of Devolver Digital revealed on November 27 before the promise was made. “Uncomfortable amount of people asking in email if the cult animals are gonna F each other,” said Devolver Digital. Cult of the Lamb reached its goal in only two hours but the power of the internet did not stop there. In less than 24 hours the account has surpassed its goal and is currently sitting at 400,000 followers on Twitter/X. Which is several thousand above Devolver Digital’s following which sits slightly above 350,000. The developers confirmed that despite adding sex to the game, the rating will not change. According to an interview with Polygon the team took inspiration from games like Pokémon and The Sims to compare the content. Cult of the Lamb says that it will be aiming to add sex to the game in early 2024. However, the content will be in the form of an update or a paid DLC has yet to be revealed.

Cult of the Lamb devs reveal how they’ll add sex after promise goes viral Massive MonsterCult of the Lamb devs explain how they’ll officially add sex to the game in their next update after their promise goes viral. On November 28, the Cult of the Lamb devs set an interesting challenge for their community. If they reached 300,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), they’d add sex to the game. The challenge from the cult indie title was absurd, but players rallied and reached the goal in two hours. But the internet didn’t stop there, in barely a week, the account shot up to 448,700 followers as of writing. So the question had to be asked, how is sex going to be added to the title? In a statement to Polygon, they revealed how they’d do it. “We used games like Pokemon and The Sims when it comes to the references,” the devs said of how they’d add it. “But put our cult-ish spin on things. The age rating will not change.” The devs further wrote on X, “Our age rating will NOT change and we never intended to. We want as many people to enjoy our game as possible.” Despite adding sex to the game, the upcoming update adding it would most likely not feature it as a main mechanic. In The Sims, the act of sex is replaced with “WooHoo” as the characters ruffle under a bed to skirt the ESRB rating. And it’s most likely Cult of the Lamb would follow the same trajectory. The devs were also asked if the sex update, also known as the Sins of the Flesh update, was planned to add sex in the first place or if it started because of the tweet. The devs said, “We have been working on Sins of the Flesh since we finished the last update earlier this year.” The explain the sex part, “When it comes to the follower fornication it was something we workshoped a long time ago and didn’t go with it.” But now our programmers are working on the update as we speak. Our team is very talented and we have no doubt that it will be ready for release. We always finish on time.”

Cult of the Lamb “add sex” meme accidentally made other indie games go viral SunnyLab GamesCult of the Lamb went viral with a meme “promising” that they’d add sexual content to their game if they hit a certain follower count, with the post gaining much more traction than the devs anticipated. So much so that other indie devs who got in on the fun have seen massive marketing success. Though Cult of the Lamb isn’t a completely independent game, it’s definitely not a AAA game either. It’s still made by a small team with a tighter budget than big-budget games have. So, finding smart, low-cost marketing tactics is definitely a priority for smaller dev teams. Even if you can’t afford to market your game everywhere, having other people market for you via word of mouth is a tried and true method of gaining players. Lethal Company is a great example of what a game going viral on social media can do to make an indie game explode, as shown by it outselling CoD on Steam for a time. Cult of the Lamb’s devs had the simple idea of joking about an “add sex” update for the game, one that they claimed they’d add sex if they gained enough followers. That post now has almost 300k likes and 35 million views on Twitter. It’s a viral hit, one that’s so massive that other small dev teams have been able to get in on the joke and gain some popularity of their own. Cult of the Lamb has other devs teasing “add sex” updates Savvy indie devs saw Cult of the Lamb’s viral smash hit marketing campaign as an opportunity to get their own games out there, even if they didn’t have an “add sex” update originally planned. Aggro Crab continued with this by showing bits of the game that were already there, with a whole group of starfish getting steamy under the ocean. However, Aggro Crab is a developer who’s experienced in finding effective ways to market their games. They’ve got a fairly strong social media presence and following considering the size of the studio, and they’ve already generated a great deal of hype for Another Crab’s Treasure, their upcoming crab-themed Souls-like. There’s one case in which a fairly small developer managed to blow up overnight due to one piece of art for their own game. Sunny Lab’s game, The Witch’s Bakery, puts the player in the shoes of a witch who explores Paris, coming up with and learning recipes as she goes and interacting with other NPCs throughout the game’s day/night cycle. Though it’s still in the early prototyping phases, the slice-of-life game is very focused on the main character’s journey (and possible romance) with side characters. And, if the dev can get enough followers, they’re planning to follow through on their promise the same way Cult of the Lamb is. Having an indie developer who’s still trying to drum up hype for their game see so much success from a viral trend is a surprisingly wholesome end to a meme about adding sex to a video game.

Cult classic Power Stone could find new life on Nintendo Switch capcom / nintendoCapcom’s cult classic ‘Power Stone’ could release on the Nintendo Switch in future according to an interview with the game’s designer and producer. Power Stone was first released for the SEGA NAOMI in 1999, and was eventually ported to the SEGA Dreamcast in the same year. It was a hit with fighting game fans, and they’ve been calling for a port on more recent systems ever since. An interview with the game’s designer and producer might be an answer to those prayers. Power Stone’s creation In an interview with The Guardian on August 14, Hideaki Itsuno talked about Power Stone’s background, and why he picked the design choices he did for the game. “I was going to go with a modern-day setting to appeal to as many players as possible. But modern-day technology lacks a certain flair – there’s just no romance to it! So I went with the 19th century, before such technology became ubiquitous.” Itsuno said. “Working on 3D fighting games taught me how to retain the satisfying gameplay of a 2D fighter while providing the freedom of moving in a 3D space. But one of my aims with Power Stone was to bring my experience to something that would be well received by players other than just hardcore fighting fans.” 600When detailing how the game came about, Itsuno said that the development team knew they wanted to create a 3D fighting game. “It all started with the idea of developing a game using a team that mixed arcade developers and console developers.” “We wanted a project that could bring the strengths of both sides – the arcade guys were great at making fighting games and the console guys were expert at creating 3D games. We were trying to be unlike any existing fighting game,” he stated. Power Stone on Nintendo Switch Power Stone’s producer Takeshi Tezuka ended the interview with a loving reference to the fans, revealing how people still ask him to this day to port the 1999 title to a modern-day console. “I still get messages from fans about the game. People tweet requests to me to make another Power Stone, which I’d love to do if I got the chance,” he said.

CS:GO hackers steal $1.6 million worth of skins from popular trading site $1.6M worth of in-game CS:GO cosmetics have been stolen by hackers from popular skin trading site CSMoney. Counter-Strike is well-known for not only for being a competitive FPS, but also for its cosmetic marketplace, where players can buy, sell and trade skins that are sometimes worth more than a house. Some skins have been valued at outrageous amounts. One of the most sought out being the Dragon Lore AWP, which typically sells for anywhere between $10k-20k. Another example is the pattern 387 factory new Case Hardened Karambit knife. Although it hasn’t been sold, experts value the knife at over $1.5 million, and the owner turned down an offer of €1.2m. Sadly, the trading community has now taken a big hit. According to skin enthusiast Arrow in a tweet on August 13, over $1.6M worth of skins were stolen from CSmoney – the game’s most popular skin trading website. Thousands of high-tier skins and knives were stolen, with some being sent to popular Counter-Strike content creators Steam inventories according to Arrow. “Well over $1,600,000 was just STOLEN from CSmoney,” he wrote on Twitter. “We have found 30+ accounts that are linked to the hackers (there are more we haven’t found) – I suspect that that the hackers sent skins to high tier traders as a distraction.” “This is the largest website hack we’ve ever seen,” Arrow added. Well over $1,600,000 was just STOLEN from CSmoney — Arrow CSGO (@ArrrowCSGO) August 13, 2022 -We have found 30+ accounts that are linked to the hackers (there are more we haven’t found) -I suspect that that the hackers sent skins to high tier traders as a distraction -This is the largest website hack we’ve ever seen pic.twitter.com/gzDKkKY0q2 Following the attack, CSmoney revealed the site will temporarily go down while they look to fix the issue and return to normal functionality. Currently, the website is still down, and its unclear if Valve will assist in returning the skins to the site, or if the accounts will be banned. Given that Valve’s relationship with third-party sites isn’t the greatest, it’s anyone’s guess what’ll happen going forward. But, hopefully we’ll see the skins returned to its owners.

CSGO: Best grenade spots on Dust 2 and lineups Valve Corporation / Hidden Path EntertainmentGreat grenade spots on CS:GOs Dust 2 map can greatly impact the success of your match. It can often grant you the upper hand in a battle while still being able to keep yourself and the rest of the team safe. We have the best grenade spots on Dust 2 right here. The revamp of CS:GO’s Dust 2 map has introduced new players to the classic but it has also mixed a few well-known grenade spots around. This leaves players trying to find the best grenade spots on Dust 2 all over again. We’ve compiled some of the best grenade spots you can find on Dust 2 to help you navigate this legendary map while still turning the tide of a tough battle. Contents: Popflash grenade spots Popflashes are meant to blind and stun the enemy unexpectedly, forcing them into a panic and hopefully allowing you to swoop in to wipe them out. A well-placed Popflash can be a game changer so it’s vital you get all the right spots. Popflash Long A Sometimes doing damage to the enemy is not the best strategy when coming trying to rush a certain place on the map. Sometimes, all you need to do is stun them and go in for the kill. This is particularly useful when rushing through Long A, especially due to those often frustrating doors everyone seems to peek through. Here’s how to stun the enemy and gain a quick advantage: Head to Long A – Aim towards the doors – Left-Click throw towards the doors and start running towards them – Popflash B Site Popflashes are ideal for giving you a huge advantage when storming a location. It hinders the enemy greatly but doesn’t force you to disadvantage yourself too, like a smoke grenade tends to do. Popflashing B is one of the best ways to storm such a busy and deadly location. Here’s how to get one of the best Popflash spots in Dust 2: Head to B Main and stand opposite the Lockbox – Aim your crosshair just right of the sign – Run a few steps and left-click throw. – Popflash from T Spawn to A Long Getting an advantage as soon as possible is vital when you need to get to an objective fast. This is especially useful for a Terrorist who’s trying to push A quickly and efficiently. Flashing the enemy before you rush an important section like Long A can be the difference between life and death. Here’s how to flash A Long from Terrorist Spawn: Look towards the doors on the way to A Long from T Spawn – Stand on the car – Perform a left-click jump throw over the walls towards A Long. – HE grenade spots HE grenades are some of the most powerful grenades in CS:GO. They have decent damage and a high area of effect, but you only get one, so it’s vital you make each throw count. HE Grenade to A Short HE Grenades can do some serious damage to a team when used correctly and in the right place. Throwing one into A Short is perfect for when players are rushing CT spawn or are trying to stop any Terrorists from getting near A. Another reason why this is such a great grenade spot is the fact that you can hit A Short without being seen, staying hidden in Under A itself. Here’s how to do it: Head to Under A – Stand on top of the boxes in the corner – Aim at the left building and left-click throw. – HE grenade to B Main This is primarily a grenade spot for Counter-Terrorists since it will stop any enemies from rushing B Main at the beginning of the game. It works best with the use of a Molotov too but can be done using just an HE grenade if you don’t want to use both. Here’s how to eliminate any B Main rushers: Head to B doors and look through to B Main – (optional) aim towards B main and throw a Molotov – Aim towards B main and left-click throw the HE grenade – Rush B with your team and wipe out anyone alive – HE grenade Lower Tunnels Lower Tunnels in Dust 2 are usually rife with enemies who prefer to stay hidden and attack unsuspecting players. This makes it a relatively dangerous location to push through unless you have the right equipment to clear it out with ease. A well-placed HE grenade can clear the location of any threats, allowing you to push through or take control of it yourself. Here’s how to do it: Head to the Lower Tunnels, particularly the doors under the streetlight – Stand under the streetlight and aim towards the top of the tower in front – Left-Click throw towards the top of the tower – Wipe out Pit campers Few aspects of CS:GO are as frustrating as campers. Particularly when they are hidden in the pit by A Long Doors. They’re in a perfect corner and will likely wipe you out before you get to fire off a few shots. This is where a well-timed HE grenade comes in handy. Each will either kill or push the camper out of their position ready for you to fire. Here’s how to take out any annoying campers: Head to A Long Doors and stay out of sight from the Pit – Aim to the wall if using a grenade or arc it to land by the corner they’re in if using a Molotov – Throw – Those are the best grenade spots for the Dust 2 map in CS:GO. Why not check out our CS:GO hub for more guides and news? Or, in the meantime, try out some of these: Molotov spots Molotovs aren’t particularly deadly unless the enemy gets stuck in the fire. However, it’s ideal for drawing out any campers, so your team can wipe them out efficiently, or preventing a rush. Denying any New Car hides The revamp of Dust 2 has introduced a lot of new ways to play, one of those is a new place to hide called New Car. It’s a subtle hide that blocks you from being seen when players are going through A Long and is an ideal spot for picking off the enemy. If you want to stop players from doing this then you want to throw a Molotov at the car to force the players out of their hiding space. Here’s how to get that perfect shot: Stand on the long barrel by Long Doors – Left click throw the Molotov over the saloon sign – Molotov the back of B Molotovs are interesting grenades to use in combat. They are long-lasting, have a wide area of effect, and can be extremely frustrating for an enemy. Throwing one into a well-populated area can quickly change the tide of a battle and bring out players for you to pick off. Here’s how to get that perfect B Site Molotov throw: Head to B Doors – Stand on the box in the corner just by the doors – Aim your Molotov on the right frame toward the middle rivet – Jump and left-click throw – All Dust 2 map callouts | Top 20 highest earning CSGO pros of all time | Most expensive CSGO skins in 2022 | Best CS:GO weapon skins | Best smoke spots

Crysis 4: Reveal trailer, platforms, & everything we know CrytekA fourth installment in the Crysis franchise has been confirmed. Here’s everything we know about Crysis 4. After years of relative silence, Crytek has confirmed that a fourth game in the Crysis franchise is in development. While job openings suggest that the game is some way off, the long-dormant franchise will be coming to next-gen systems. As revealed in a new blog post by Crytek CEO Avni Yerli, the game is “in the early stages of development”. Here’s everything we know about Crysis 4. Contents Is there a Crysis 4 release date? With the game still in early development, and some job vacancies for the project, it doesn’t appear we’ll be playing Crysis 4 anytime soon. This espeically holds true given Crytek’s latest update on the fourth installment. As of April 2023, the studio is still staffing as it works towards building the new story campaign. The open positions include Lead Producer, Lead AI Programmer, and Lead Environment Artist. With a fair few lead roles in need of filling, reason suggests the sci-fi shooter remains in the nascent stages of production. The last game in the franchise, Crysis 3, launched back in 2013, meaning it’ll likely have been over a decade between entries by the time Crysis 4 rolls around. Thankfully, the trilogy was remastered in 2021, giving players an opportunity to relive the iconic series in all new 4K. Crysis 4 reveal trailer The initial reveal is light on details, but it does give us the tagline “it’s time to join the journey and be the hero.” You can check it out below. Crysis 4 platforms Crytek’s initial blog post says that the “dedicated and talented team is working hard to bring you a truly next-gen shooter”, which suggests the next entry will continue to push visual fidelity as has been the franchise’s tradition. With that in mind, it’s very likely PS4 and Xbox One (and Switch) will be left in the dust, sadly. Here’s hoping next-gen means the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X consoles and nothing further into the future. For more on upcoming releases, be sure to check out our release pages for the following.

Crysis 3, Dead Space 2 & Dante’s Inferno’s servers are quietly being shut down by EA EAEagle-eyed fans have noticed a list of online server shutdown dates on EA’s website has been updated to include Crysis 3, Dead Space 2 & Dante’s Inferno. EA has quietly revealed that it plans to shut down servers for several PlayStation 3/Xbox 360-era games later this year. Though the company has yet to make any official statement on the matter, Pure Xbox spotted the games Crysis 3, Dead Space 2, and Dante’s Inferno had been added to a list on EA’s website that goes over when online services ended for various titles. The news comes months after EA announced plans to delist and retire online services for several Battlefront games. Crysis 3, Dead Space 2 & Dante’s Inferno online functionality ends later this year Crysis 3 will be the first to have its servers shut down on September 7, 2023. Following that, online support for Dead Space 2 and Dante’s Inferno will end on December 8, 2023. This is the same day servers for Battlefield 1943, Battlefield Bad Company, and Battlefield Bad Company 2 will shut down as previously announced. Notably, unlike the aforementioned Battlefield games, it does not currently seem that EA plans to delist any of the affected games. This means players will still be able to purchase it for the foreseeable future. While the news will certainly disappoint some fans and game preservation advocates, it’s not really surprising. In the cases of Dead Space 2 and Dante’s Inferno, multiplayer is relegated to a couple of lesser-known modes that fans would be forgiven for not even knowing about. As for Crysis 3, the game received a remaster in 2021 that doesn’t even include multiplayer, so it’s hard to imagine there being a huge community of online players for the original. Crysis 3, Dead Space 2, and Dante’s Inferno may still be largely intact after this year, but the shuttering of their servers is another reminder of how the life cycle of online games means some features will inevitably be lost to time.

The open beta happened back in June 2020, and in November 2020, the developers announced that the game would be delayed to 2021. But just when it looked like the developers were about to let the year run its course without providing any updates, they surprised fans with an unexpected launch date reveal trailer at The Game Awards 2021.

CrossfireX has three different multiplayer modes, two of which are similar to other competitive shooters. These are all free-to-play and can be described as follows: Classic mode revolves around two teams attacking and defending objectives and planting and defusing bombs. It’s a format familiar to CSGO and Valorant players. – Modern mode is more akin to Call of Duty’s domination mode. It pits two teams against each other to fight to control objective points on the map. – Spectre mode is unique to the franchise. It works in the same way as classic mode. However, players become invisible when they’re not moving and can only use knives. – CrossfireX will also have a single-player campaign that isn’t free to play.

Critical Role’s new RPG Daggerheart announces open beta date Darrington PressDaggerheart is an intriguing new project from some of the most famous RPG players in the business, and fans can try it out for themselves very soon. Daggerheart is the next big swing from Critical Role’s Darrington Press, following the launch of the Candela Obscura rulebook. While Candela took things in a spooky, esoteric direction, Daggerheart is a little closer to what fans of Critical Role will likely associate with the brand. This is a fantasy RPG first and foremost, using Critical Role’s own Illuminated Worlds system. Now, Daggerheart has announced its first open beta, giving fans a look behind the curtain at exactly what Darrington Press has been cooking up. Critical Role Daggerheart open Beta details Open beta dates The Daggerheart open beta is set to launch on Critical Role’s 9th anniversary. The beta will begin on March 12 2024. All playtest materials and feedback surveys can be found directly on the Daggerheart website. Daggerheart early details Daggerheart differentiates itself from D&D 5e immediately with a simplified dice system, giving more roleplaying leeway than 5e’s encounter-first design. Fans of Critical Role’s RP-heavy campaigns will not be shocked by this, but there’s still plenty of mechanical depth on display. Will Critical Role switch to Daggerheart? It’s too early to say what form Critical Role campaign 4 will take, as the third campaign focusing on the Bells Hells is still in full swing. While many players are suspecting that Critical Role is trying to distance itself from official Wizards of the Coast content as much as possible – for example, renaming Exandria’s gods and many playable races – fully switching to a new system would be a stretch. While utilizing their own game system for future campaigns would grant Critical Role greater control over their content, it would also potentially alienate fans who closely associate Critical Role with D&D. Daggerheart’s future and demos For players curious to see how Daggerheart works before diving in for themselves, the Critical Role cast will be playing a live Daggerheart oneshot on March 12 at 7PM PT on the Critical Role Twitch and Youtube channels. With Daggerheart’s final release planned for 2025, players have plenty of time to jump in, try the game out, and help the final product reach the best state it can be. Critical Role fans and TTRPG players as a whole will want to keep an eye on this intriguing new entry in the RPG canon.

Critical Role’s Darrington Press reveals second edition of acclaimed game Darrington PressCritical Role’s Darrington Press has revealed the upcoming release of the second edition of the acclaimed card game, For the Queen, bringing a complete revamp to much of its gameplay. When it was originally released, For The Queen was a huge hit among board game and card game players. Many jumped into the title to enjoy its beautiful art, storytelling design, and collaborative nature. Unfortunately, after being made by designer Alex Roberts at Evil Hat Productions in 2019, it was announced that the first edition would be discontinued in 2023, with Roberts looking for a new publisher to help release its second edition. Now, it’s been revealed that the publisher in question is Critical Role’s Darrington Press. Critical Role’s Darrington Press announces For The Queen second edition release date Announced by Darrington Press, we now know the second edition of the highly acclaimed card storytelling game For The Queen is set to release on May 14, 2024. The second edition will feature new art, refined prompt cards, and some exciting new cards inspired by the familiar Darrington Press board game, Queen by Midnight. It’s essentially a complete revamp, with only the rules staying the same, so fans of the original and new players can easily jump into the thrilling game. Essentially, For The Queen is a card-based collaborative storytelling game players become royal confidants who travel with their Queen on a journey. All they need to do is either protect her or plan her demise using key question cards and their deductive skills. This isn’t the first time Alex Roberts has worked with Darrington Press. Before this release, they previously worked on the popular game, Till the Last Gasp, which is a similar storytelling game focused on epic duels. As previously mentioned, the second edition of For The Queen will be released via Darrington Press on May 14, 2024, and will hopefully bring a wave of new players to the popular card game.

Critical Role’s Candela Obscura: Tide & Bone launch trailer, release date & cast Critical RoleLet Candela Obscura’s newest circle take you on a journey into Newfaire’s storied, shadowy past, as the Critical Role webseries is set to launch its third chapter. The launch of Critical Role’s Candela Obscura TTRPG is on the horizon, with players able to pick up the book from November 14th. Alongside the impending release, Critical Role has been seeing great success with its multi-part Candela Obscura web series. Here’s the trailer and release date for the series’ next chapter, Candela Obscura: Tide & Bone. The Circle of Tide and Bone are the latest set of investigators to come up against Newfaire’s horrors and hauntings. Following on from the widely well-received second chapter, run by Candela Obscura creator Spenser Stark, the Circle of Tide & Bone will be led by acclaimed GM Aabria Iyengar. Iyengar has had great success with running Critical Role’s Exandria Unlimited, as well as Dimension 20 series Misfits and Magic, A Court of Fey and Flowers, and the currently airing Burrow’s End, so it’s fair to say that Candela Obscura’s third chapter is in safe hands. Contents Candela Obscura: Tide & Bone cast Alongside Iyengar, the intrepid circle will include Critical Role stalwarts Liam O’Brien (Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Starfield) and Sam Reigel (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, DuckTales), as well as frequent collaborator Ashly Burch (Life is Strange, Attack on Titan). Rounding out the cast are Noshir Dala (Mortal Kombat 1, Spider-Man 2) and Gina Darling (God of Work, Legends of the Multiverse), exciting additions to the world of Candela Obscura. Candela Obscura: Tide & Bone trailer Below is the reveal trailer for the third chapter of Candela Obscura: Candela Obscura: Tide & Bone Release Date Candela Obscura: Tide & Bone premieres November 30 at 7pm Pacific on Critical Role’s Twitch and YouTube channels. The series will consist of three parts, with subsequent episodes airing on the last Thursday of December and January. VOD and Podcast recordings will be available two weeks after each episode debuts. With the Candela Obscura RPG’s full release just days away, Critical Role and TTRPG fans alike are itching to get their hands on this new cinematic horror system. Check out the upcoming Circle of Tide & Bone, as well as the series’ first two chapters, and you’ll be able to get a tantalizing taste of the game ahead of release.

Critical Role casts dishes on “So many dark secrets” in Candela Obscura Chapter 3 Critical RoleTide and Bone promises to be a Candela Obscura series from Critical Role like no other, where Ashly Birch and Sam Riegel promise “the call is coming from inside the house.” Critical Role’s Candela Obscura series has been a wildly successful experiment for the superstar tabletop team. Each of Critical Role’s three main campaigns thus far has its own style and flavor, but remains a high-fantasy narrative first and foremost. With Candela Obscura, Critical Role has left the trappings of Tal’Dorei far behind, venturing into a brand new genre, setting, and even game system. Horror plays host here, with unknowable beasts stalking the Fairelands, and mysterious organizations doing what they can to cast a small light into the dark. Candela Obscura’s first two chapters told stories of war and loss, shadows and secrets. Investigators survived their experiences forever changed if they managed to survive at all. Now, as viewers ready to meet a new circle of investigators, we had the chance to chat with Candela Obscura Chapter 3 players Ashly Burch and Sam Riegel as we learned what horrors await on the horizon. Candela Obscura Chapter 3: The Circle of Tide and Bone Ashly Burch rejoins the Critical Role table Each chapter of Candela Obscura so far has featured two members of Critical Role core cast, playing in each of the three main campaigns. This time around, it’s Riegel and fellow cast member Liam O’Brien’s turn. While the Circle of Tide and Bone does feature relative CR newcomers Gina Darling and Noshir Dalal, Burch is much less of a stranger to this space, appearing in a multitude of Critical Role projects over the years. Long-time fans will remember Burch’s work in Critical Role’s Shadows of the Crystal Palace oneshot and understand that she makes an excellent fit for the genre. Speaking on what draws her to this type of Lovecraft-adjacent storytelling, Burch said “I kind of like chaos in a roleplaying setting. I like feeling kind of disempowered or at risk, I think it’s more narratively interesting, that tension. …It gives players more incentive to take large narrative swings. I like how squishy characters are in these more gothic and cosmic horror settings.” While this certainly bodes well for Candela Obscura’s chapter 3’s storytelling, viewers may be in for a bumpy ride if they attach themselves too quickly to the Circle of Tide and Bone and their wellbeing. Intrepid Investigators When asked what their characters would be bringing to the table, Burch told us “There’s so many dark secrets for everyone. I play Doctor Elsie Roberts…she used to be part of the more elite contingent of society and has since fallen from grace. She’s getting work where she can get it and she’s pretty salty about that.” Burch was fascinated by the class differences in Candela and looked forward to exploring them through her character. As for Riegel, his Candela Obscura character is an intentional departure from the norm, a “tough-guy character, and I don’t really play a lot of those. …A security guard muscle-for-hire.” Oscar Grim is the name of Riegel’s PC, and while he stated that “his friends call him Cary”, Burch was quick to interject that “Nobody calls him Cary.” In an attempt to stay locked into Grim’s headspace, Riegel told us he gave his character a habit of eating hard candy, just so he’d have an excuse to keep from grinning widely throughout the game. A new GM for a new chapter: Sam Riegel hypes up Aabria Iyengar With Critical Role’s Matt Mercer and Candela Obscura designer Spenser Starke running chapters 1 and 2 respectively, chapter 3’s Game Master has a lot to live up to. Thankfully, Aabria Iyengar is more than up to the task. Having been at the same table as Iyengar before as a player in Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, Riegel told us how Iyengar’s work as GM helped propel this Chapter of Candela Obscura forward. “She’s a force to be reckoned with with on either side of the table. It was really cool to watch her work, in addition to being a really great storyteller and bringing all these great ideas…I think the difference this time is she wasn’t afraid to use her authority as Game Master for us. …It was cool for me to watch her say no to some things.” Riegel went on to state that Iyengar helped pare down the multitude of options each player brought to the table to strong, core ideas, cutting down on the chaos and driving the story forward. Starting Candela Obscura with Chapter 3 For new viewers looking to dive into Candela Obscura, each chapter of the series has been designed to serve as a potential entry point. Even so, Riegel told us that there would be some additional payoff for viewers who have stuck close to the series so far. “You’ll get a little glimpse in this chapter of Candela into some of the history of Newfaire and there’s a little more lore that gets explored, that I think folks that watched chapters one and two will particularly enjoy.” Where is the danger? When plied for details as to the threats looming in Candela Obscura chapter 3, Riegel and Burch played it coy but were still willing to divulge some interesting info. According to Burch, “the call is coming from inside the house, a little bit”, potentially hinting at threats looming from within Candela or even the Circle itself, rather than just from beyond the Flare. Riegel backed this up with his own assertion that “the greatest danger is looking back in the mirror… the characters themselves might be their own worst enemy this time around.” While the two were clearly having fun with these plot teases, what they revealed speaks to a Candela Obscura chapter that may be more willing to dive into internal horror and inter-party conflict, which is sure to excite many actual play fans hungry for drama. Candela Obscura: Tide and Bone airdate Candela Obscura Chapter 3: The Circle of Tide and Bone will premiere November 30 2023 on the Critical Role Twitch and Youtube channels. Subsequent episodes will arrive on the last Thursday of December and January. Be sure to tune in for this final chapter, but know that the world and work of Candela Obscura will live on, no matter what fate befalls this intrepid circle. For players who wish to explore the Fairelands for themselves, the Candela Obscura core rulebook is available for purchase now.

Critical Role Candela Obscura: Release date & more Darrington PressCandela Obscura will allow players to create their own cinematic, horror-themed adventures in the nightmarish world of the Fairelands. Critical Role’s domination in the TTRPG space marches forward. The voice actor-led actual play group has brought D&D to a whole new generation of fans with three successful campaigns and counting. Now, with its Darrington Press imprint, Critical Role is bringing its own horror RPG Candela Obscura to players worldwide. Candela Obscura explained Alice is Missing Designer Spenser Starke has crafted the Candela Obscura RPG to fit Critical Role’s Illuminated Worlds system, which will be used for many of their products like Daggerheart moving forward. While Candela Obscura is a bold new venture for Critical Role, the TTRPG still wears its inspirations on its sleeve, with Blades in the Dark and Vaesen being particularly influential. Contrasting unsettling investigation with grounded humanity, Candela Obscura is a far cry from Critical Role’s high fantasy beginnings, and that variety can only be a good thing for the company’s longevity. Candela Obscura is set to launch on November 14, 2023, and will be available for purchase from the Critical Role shops and local game stores. Candela Obscura rules and playtesting If you’re on the fence about whether this might be a system you’d like to try, the Critical Role team has you covered. Two Candela Obscura mini-campaigns are already live on the Critical Role YouTube channel, with a third set to launch in the near future. Make no mistake, the Candela Obscura campaigns aren’t just a playtest, but a fully-fledged actual play series in its own right, with the levels of performance and production we’ve come to expect from the CR team. For players who can’t wait until November 14th to dive into the world of the Fairelands, Candela Obscura’s quick start rules are available to download for free now from the Darrington Press site.

And it looks as though the team at Critical Role has taken more than a little inspiration from Dropout in putting Beacon together, in both pricing and content style. Beacon’s subscription service currently costs $5.99 monthly or $59.99 annually. One of the most exciting aspects of Beacon is undoubtedly Critical Role Abridged. As Actual Play evolves as a medium, series are drifting further and further away from the multihour epic sessions first popularised by Critical Role. Critical Role Abridged makes the series much easier to engage with for viewers without the time to spend on four hours of a weekly campaign. In addressing this change without compromising on what makes their show unique, Critical Role shows a willingness to adapt that will serve it well into campaign 4 and beyond.

Critical Role announces Persona 5 Tactica one-shot featuring members of game’s cast Critical Role / AtlusThe popular D&D playshow Critical Role has announced an upcoming one-shot inspired by Persona 5 Tactica that will include voice actors from the new game. Critical Role has announced that its next one-shot will be inspired by Persona 5 Tactica. Sponsored by Persona developer Atlus, the “one of a kind” one-shot will be led by Critical Role regular Liam O’Brien with a group of players that includes members of the Persona 5 cast. It will air on November 17, the same day Persona 5 Tactica releases. Critical Role X Persona 5 Tactica one-shot features Matt Mercer, Robbie Daymond & more The Persona-inspired one-shot will feature Robbie Daymond, Xanthe Huynh, Krystina Arielle, Jared Goldstein and regular Critical Role DM Matthew Mercer as players, with Liam O’Brien as the Game Master. Daymond, Huynh, and Mercer have all been part of the Persona 5 cast since the original game, playing Akechi, Haru, and Yusuke, respectively. All are reprising their roles in Tactica and have been featured in other Persona 5 spinoffs. While Mercer is obviously a big part of Critical Role, fans will recognize Daymond from his appearances as genasi bard Dorian Storm in Exandria Unlimited and Campaign 3. He’s also appeared in other Critical Role projects, most recently the first chapter of Candela Obscura. O’Brien is also no stranger to the Persona franchise. He voiced Akihiko in the original Persona 3 and its spinoffs, including its Persona 4 crossovers. The announcement even features him dressed as his character, much to the delight of fans. As for the rest of the cast, Krystina Arielle has appeared in other Critical Role specials, including last year’s “Elden Ring One-Shot: O Ye of Little Faith.” Huynh and Goldstein are both new to the show. This is far from Critical Role’s first one-shot promoting a new game release. In addition to the aforementioned Elden Ring special, it has also aired one-shots based on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Mortal Kombat 1, and more. Critical Role’s Persona 5 Tactica one-shot will air Friday, November 17 at 7pm PT on Twitch and YouTube.

Critical Role announces Laudna prequel novel releasing next summer Critical RoleThe next novel from Critical Role and Penguin Random House has been announced, and it follows the “fun scary” Launda from Campaign 3’s party Bells Hells. Critical Role has announced its next novel. Written by Cassandra Khaw and published by Penguin Random House, Critical Role: Bells Hells – What Doesn’t Break focuses on Bells Hells’ resident Warlock/Sorcerer Laudna. The book, which will release in July 2024, is set to explore Laudna’s years on her own before meeting Imogen and later joining Bells Hells. Though far from Critical Role’s first time expanding its lore through other mediums like novels and comics, What Doesn’t Break is the first time Campaign Three’s party has been explored outside the playshow itself. Critical Role novel What Doesn’t Break to explore Laudna’s story before Campaign 3 The description for What Doesn’t Break is as follows: “Uncover the lost years of Critical Role’s unrelentingly upbeat undead spellcaster in this original prequel novel to Laudna’s adventures with Bells Hells.” While few details have been announced, there is about 30 years of Laudna’s life (or undeath) to explore. Given what we know about Laudna’s tragic past from the show, fans can expect a dark story in which a lonely Launda has just herself, the voice of the villainous Delilah Briarwood, and (of course) her little puppet Pâté de Rolo to keep her company. It shouldn’t be all doom and gloom though, as Laudna is sure to bring her own brand of “fun scary.” As for the author, Khaw has worked on various video game and tabletop RPG projects, as well as their own published works, which center on horror and science fiction. They have worked with Dungeons & Dragons and Critical Role before, contributing to Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft and Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep. What Doesn’t Break will be Critical Role’s third novel. It follows Critical Role: Vox Machina – Kith & Kin, which adds to the backstories of Campaign 1’s Vex’ahlia and Vax’ildan, and Critical Role: The Mighty Nein – The Nine Eyes of Lucien, which focuses on major Campaign 2 character Lucien Tavelle.

Critical Role announces first Candela Obscura live show Critical RoleThe next Critical Role live show has been announced for next month, and it will feature Darrington Press’ own Candela Obscura for a one-shot investigation.

Following Lark, Phineas, and Moc Weepe, fans are taken into a mystical world filled with danger, questionable morals, and some hilarious improvised moments.

However, this is unfortunately the conclusion of Midst as a whole.

As of March 29, 2023, Metapigeon, otherwise known as Critical Role’s development and production company, has announced the acquisition of Midst, a semi-improvised podcast drama containing three anonymous narrators located in the space-western town of Stationary Hill. Such an acquisition marks the company’s first foray into developing a new IP and introduces an exciting new direction for both Critical Role and Metapigeon.

I hope Free Fire players all over the world are just as excited as I am!” This isn’t the first instance of Garena introducing celebrities in Free Fire. The likes of American DJ KSHMR, Indonesian actor Joe Taslim, Brazilian DJ Alok, and Indian actor Hrithik Roshan have all been successful in-game integrations. Tick tock, tick tock.

Crimson Desert: Gameplay, story, trailer, platforms & more Pearl AbyssCrimson Desert is an upcoming open-world action-adventure game that is currently being developed by Pearl Abyss – the team behind Black Desert Online. Here’s everything we currently know about it, including gameplay, platforms, and more. Pearl Abyss originally announced Crimson Desert during the 2020 Game Awards, but since then, information surrounding the game has been rather scarce. Fans of the South Korean MMO, Black Desert Online, have been waiting for the next title and have been eager to see further news. However, it’s important to note that while Crimson Desert features a similar name, it is not a direct sequel to the BDO. So, in order to get you caught up with all the latest developments and updates, we’ve covered everything we currently know about Crimson Desert. Contents Is there Crimson Desert release date? As of writing, there is no news on when Crimson Desert will be released. Pearl Abyss previously stated that the game would launch in winter 2021, but had been delayed to an unknown date. However, during Pearl Abyss’ latest earnings report, the South Korean video game developer announced that it had lost a number of core developers, which has led to delays for both DokeV and Crimson Desert. We’ll hear more information in the months to come, so be sure to check back here regularly for all the latest updates. Crimson Desert platforms Crimson Desert will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This follows a similar pattern to Black Desert Online, which is also available for both PC and console. There’s no word on whether cross-platform play or cross-progression will be supported at launch, but given this feature is a highly requested feature, we could see it added to the game at some point during Crimson Desert’s lifecycle. Crimson Desert story According to the official Crimson Desert website, the game’s story tells the tale of Pywel, a vast continent of divided regions inhabited by people struggling to survive in its ever-changing lands. Fortunately, adventurers won’t be alone in their quest through Pywel: “The King of Demeniss, Unifier of Lands, lies in a coma. In the ensuing power vacuum, those who have suffered under his iron rule now seek to exploit his weakness. Some who have felt the oppression of his conquests seek only independence, but others dream of gaining their own absolutist rule. In this time of turmoil, you will not survive against such powerful foes alone. You better assemble a team.” The developers have also stated that the player’s actions will influence the story of Pywel. Quite how dramatic these changes will be remains to be seen, but for now, that’s all we know about the gritty world of Crimson Desert. Crimson Desert gameplay Crimson Desert gameplay features some incredibly flashy real-time combat, with lightning-fast melee hits and powerful throws. The developers have put a huge emphasis on group fights, rather than 1v1 player-to-monster combat. There’s even a scene where the protagonist seems to clutch onto a dragon and unleash a number of attacks, similar to the combat seen in Dragon’s Dogma. While gameplay showed off melee combat, the official website notes how players will be able to imbue weapons with the “mysterious art of alchemy”, which allows players to unlock additional abilities. At Gamescom 2023, Pearl Abyss provided a three-minute trailer featuring more gameplay of the upcoming title. The footage features intense combat scenes in different terrain as players explore the continent of Pywel. So, there you have it, that’s everything we currently know about Crimson Desert.

Crime Boss: Rockay City gameplay looks like a “Payday clone” according to worried fans YouTube: GameSpotConcerned fans of Crime Boss: Rockay City have claimed that gameplay of the upcoming INGAME STUDIOS title looks like a “Payday clone”, after it was revealed at The Game Awards 2022. Crime Boss: Rockay City is a debut game by INGAME STUDIOS, a Czech-based developer. When the game was announced at The Game Awards 2022, no concept gameplay of any kind was shown, leaving viewers slightly lost. However, on December 9, six minutes of gameplay were shown off in a YouTube Gameplay trailer from GameSpot. Immediately, many fans compared the game to Payday, with most of the comparisons being negative and expressing concern at their apparent similarity. Crime Boss: Rockay City gameplay draws unfavorable Payday comparisons Many comments under the gameplay video were quick to point out that this reminds them of Payday almost beat for beat. From the 4 players’ first-person co-op robbery simulator aspect to the usage of a drill to open the primary vault, the similarities were too obvious for a lot of viewers to ignore. One player said: “I was actually kinda hoping this was a GTA clone where you did missions for and met these characters. If it’s just Payday or similar, it’s a hard pass for me.” Another jokingly commented: “Payday 3 at home.” Others shared their frustration about feeling misled to believe that the game will be an open-world experience akin to GTA, finally providing Rockstar some competition. GTA Online, despite launching nearly a decade ago, continues to be immensely popular among players. Some players, though, did celebrate the similarities to Payday’s gameplay and look forward to co-op’ing with their friends. For example, a pleased fan noted: “Feels a lot like Payday, which I’m cool with.” Let us hope that the experience differentiates itself from Payday enough to be recognized as a game inspired by it, instead of the “copycat” concerns that were expressed by some gaming fans.

Cricket 24: Release date, platforms, teams & more Big Ant StudiosCricket 24 is the next sports sim from Big Ant Studios, that packs a powerful punch of new licensed teams, mechanics, and a lot more. So, here’s a rundown of everything you need to know about Cricket 24 starting from its release date to the teams featured. Big Ant Studios is back with a fresh iteration of their cricket video game series and this time, it’s Cricket 24. The upcoming title will apparently be bigger and better than Cricket 22, featuring new game modes, tournaments, and a lot more. Apart from that, certain mechanics have been overhauled, and several newly licensed teams will finally mark their official debut. So, if you’re wondering when the game releases along with all the other relevant details, our handy hub has everything you need to know. Contents Cricket 24: Release date Big Ant Studios have confirmed that Cricket 24 will release on October 5, 2023. Previously, it was scheduled for a June 2023 release but now it has been delayed by a few months. The Nintendo Switch version, however, will release in November 2024. Cricket 24 will include newly licensed nations, Indian T20 teams, and several leagues from around the world. The devs have pushed the release further to ensure there’s enough time to properly capture and represent the new players and teams. All Cricket 24 platforms At launch, Cricket 24 will be available on the following platforms: Nintendo Switch – PlayStation 4 – PlayStation 5 – Windows PC (via Steam) – Xbox One – Xbox Series X|S – The game will have full cross-platform support, meaning you can choose to play online against your friends or the best players in the world regardless of platform. PC users will eventually be able to play the game via Xbox Game Pass, presumably six months after launch – just like Cricket 22. Teams featured in Cricket 24 As of now – Australia, England, India, Ireland, New Zealand, and West Indies, are some of the major nations whose teams will officially be featured in Cricket 24. The developers will announce more nations in the coming days. Apart from that, more than 200 players will have full photogrammetry. All tournaments in Cricket 24 The Ashes have always been the major tournament featured in Big Ant Studios’ releases and it’s no different this time. However, some other major tournaments across the world have also been officially licensed with the game. Some of these tournaments include – KFC BBL, Weber WBBL, The Hundred, and Caribbean Premier League. Certain professional Indian T20 teams will also be announced in the coming days. It needs to be seen whether these teams are from the ever-so-popular Indian Premier League or not. What’s new in Cricket 24? One of the major new additions to Cricket 24 is the Pro Team. The concept is similar to the Ultimate Team from FIFA, where players can collect player cards and build their own dream team. They will also be able to take on weekly challenges in both single-player and multiplayer modes of the game, similar to FIFA 23. The fielding has also been completely overhauled. This game will have more realistic and responsive fielding controls, something that the previous titles have never seen. So, there you have it — that’s everything about Cricket 24 you need to know.

Cricket 24 preview: Not quite bowled over Big Ant StudiosBig Ant Studios’ latest outdoor sports simulation, Cricket 24, is nearly here and we had the chance to get a hands-on experience of the title ahead of its release. Here’s our Cricket 24 preview. Cricket 24 is bigger than ever. Big Ant Studios has made sure that the game builds upon Cricket 22, which arrived two years ago. It’s trying to do that by including a bigger pool of licensed teams, players, better face scans, and more. However, despite these inclusions, the experience feels familiar as it is with most sports sim iterations. A good touchstone for that is the FIFA games. If you are a new player, it will take some time to get used to all the new differences at first glance. Thankfully, Dexerto had the chance to preview Cricket 24 ahead of its release, and here’s our Cricket 24 preview Feels like Cricket 22 reskin with minor adjustments Let’s get the negatives out of the way first. If a new player tried Cricket 24 and Cricket 22 side by side, at least graphically, it’d be hard to tell any difference. While trying out the game, I found many player models straight from the grounds of Cricket 22. After winning the toss in my first match, I started out with bowling. To my surprise, the UI was completely untouched. If you look at the image above, the ‘Aftertouch’ and ‘Timing’ sections have an uncanny resemblance to Cricket 22. I was left a bit disappointed as Cricket 24 has been in development for almost two years. The same goes for Batting. Even the subtlest of changes like fonts and a fresh UI would’ve been welcome. Glitches, not so game-breaking yet catch the eyes Cricket 24, like other games, has its fair share of glitches. While none of them are game-breaking, I found some to be hilarious. For example, one of the glitches exposed the batter’s hair outside of the helmet, which certainly looks pretty strange. The second glitch I came across sent chills down my spine. In that instance, the batter’s head turned in an abnormal way after hitting a six off a good-length delivery. Other than that, the other mechanics seemed to be working ideally in my 40-minute play session. One thing to note too, the version of Cricket 24 we played at the venue was older. So, there could be improvements from what we got to experience in the current build now. Hopefully, these kinds of bugs can be ironed out before launch. Some top teams and players are left out Cricket 24 marks the debut of a ton of teams from domestic T20 leagues. One of them is the IPL. That said, a handful of teams that have been playing a crucial part from the tournament’s inaugural season are missing. This includes the likes of Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The exclusion of CSK surprised me the most as they were the winning team of the 2023 season. This obviously comes down to a licensing issue that hopefully can be solved, and hopefully, we see them in future iterations of the franchise. While Cricket 24 includes official teams and players from IPL, they are not a part of the Indian Cricket team in the game. Again, this looks like a licensing issue but it sure is a missed opportunity. Cricket 24 has a smoother and enhanced gameplay Enough of the negatives. It may seem like I had a bad time with Cricket 24. I did not. Coming straight from Cricket 22, I felt Cricket 24 presented a smoother and more enhanced gameplay. The players, kits, and flags of the iconic teams of the franchise, Australia and England, look better than ever. The face scans of players are fairly realistic in Cricket 24, which means the devs are in the right direction. The overall gameplay felt smoother in comparison to the previous game. The reason for the difference could be that I played these two games on different platforms. Apart from that, the camera angles after hitting boundaries and over have been improved. Shots and lighting now look a lot more natural than before too. As a result, the ambiance inside the ground during high-voltage matches looks a lot more lively than before. And there you have it — that’s all about our Cricket 24 preview.

Crazy viral TikTok shows what the future of gaming could look like PlayStation / TikTokAn artist’s TikTok videos went viral after showing players what the future of the gaming industry could look like with some jaw-dropping concepts – including an epic mashup of PlayStation and Nintendo. [jwplayer G9BmIL5X] The games industry is on the cusp of its next generation with the release of Microsoft’s Xbox Series X on November 10, and Sony’s PlayStation 5 on the 13th. From 4K resolution to ray tracing, players have a lot to be excited for. One artist is already looking even further into the future, and went viral on TikTok after sharing their incredible concepts. The enthusiast’s take on a potential new PSP console pulled in millions of views. Viral TikTok envisions future of gaming The genius behind the stunning creations is TikTok user ‘Kashama’ who uploaded their futuristic gaming console concepts to the platform in November. The talented artist went viral November 7 after bringing a successor to the PSP and Vita to life. Called “Orus,” the new handheld utilizes an immersive touchscreen that fits over the entire portable console. The clip shows the user interacting with the futuristic handheld as they scroll through the PlayStation Store using their fingers to swipe left and right. The post blew up and racked up over 9.5 million views in just three days. Their first second showcased what a potential mashup between Nintendo and Sony could look like. The creative clip combines the Switch’s Joy Con with PS5’s new DualSense controller. Kashama’s idea sees the PlayStation controller’s touchpad turned into a screen, which showcases different gaming footage. The post reached over 5.8 million views at the time of writing. Nintendo Switch fans will remember how early patents filed by the Japanese company led many to believe the new console would utilize similar looking interactive touchscreen designs. So it’s cool to see that concept brought to life in the form of a PlayStation handheld. While the game’s industry is just embarking on its next-generation, it’s interesting to see where the future of the hobby could go even further into the future.

Crazy Taxi reboot: Everything we know so far SegaA new Crazy Taxi reboot was announced at the 2023 Game Awards. Here’s everything we know about the next game in the series. Sega announced a Crazy Taxi reboot at the Game Awards alongside new Streets of Rage and Golden Axe, and even a Jet Set Radio reboot. However, Crazy Taxi is considered one of the definitive games of the Dreamcast era and spawned numerous sequels and re-releases, as well as being popular in the arcades. The game is essentially a zany GTA, but rather than working as a career criminal, you’re a cab driver who sees road laws more as guidelines than rules. The next Crazy Taxi game is now confirmed to be in development by Sega, but so far, we’re unsure if it’s a sequel or a reboot of the original game. Here’s everything we know about the next game in the Crazy Taxi series. Contents Does Crazy Taxi have a release date? No release date has been revealed for Crazy Taxi as of yet. The only details we have so far came from the Power Surge trailer Sega released. What platforms will Crazy Taxi be on? As we’re unsure of a release window, it’s hard to predict what systems Crazy Taxi will be released on at this stage. Crazy Taxi Gameplay The aim of most Crazy Taxi games is to get your fare to their destination as quickly as possible, which normally leads to lots of chaos on the roads while you attempt to beat the clock. Naturally, your antics lead to the authorities chasing you and there’s a range of fun vehicles to try, but the premise is pretty simple. It will be fun to see if the next Crazy Taxi game is a reboot or a sequel to the series. So far, the next game looks like a faithful recreation of the first, but we imagine it’ll have its own features setting it apart from earlier adventures. Long-time fans will be excited to play a modern Crazy Taxi game, so we’ll keep you updated as and when Sega reveals more. That’s all we know about Crazy Taxi for now. For more of the biggest upcoming releases, check out these guides below: The Elder Scrolls 6 | GTA 6 | Wolverine | KOTR Remake | Wonder Woman | DokeV | Dragon Age 4 | The Witcher 3 next-gen patch | Avatar Frontiers of Pandora | Phantom Blade Zero | Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2

Crazy NBA 2K23 college quest glitch lets players get VC & XP fast 2K GamesAccumulating XP and VC in NBA 2K23 requires countless hours of gameplay; however, a simple glitch expedites the process. NBA 2K23 received glowing reviews for gameplay innovations, but microtransactions and outrageous VC prices bog down an otherwise great experience. 2K incentivizes purchasing microtransactions by offering expensive MyPlayer cosmetic items and boosts to help players reach a 99 overall. NBA 2K23, like many other sports titles, suffers from microtransaction overload, but some players believe it has reached a tipping point. An easy XP and VC glitch may be just what the doctor ordered for players flocking to other modes. What is the NBA 2K23 college quest glitch? Reddit user WRXSTL discovered a bug that lets you change the sliders for the college quest in NBA 2K23 MyCareer. To take advantage of the glitch, fail intentionally during the third MyCareer college flashback game of the quest, and the game will restart you in the fourth quarter. With edited sliders, the game can be played on the easiest difficulty, and all XP and VC will stack even after restarting. Sliders allow players to manipulate gameplay, altering stats such as shot success or acceleration. Adjusting sliders makes it easier to defeat the CPU and pull off insane performances like in the image below. 2K players thanked the poster for sharing the glitch but are worried it may be patched. One player stated, “hopefully, they don’t fix this. Could use the badge grind on my pg.” Another player added, “Yup did this a while ago. Low-key wish you didn’t post it, so it doesn’t get patched.” Some users fear the worst; as a third person argued, “Too late. Guarantee they are working on an update to fix.” If the developers are working on a patch, make sure to earn some VC and XP before it’s too late.

While treasure chests can be found literally everywhere in Genshin Impact, the very best loot often requires a little more effort to get to. In fact, certain quests and secret dungeons require players to swim across the game’s vast oceans or scale mighty cliffs in order to claim the rarest prizes. Of course, this can be incredibly difficult to do when you only have a slither of stamina. Fortunately, one crafty adventurer has discovered a game-changing trick that gives players unlimited stamina while swimming. Find out how you can use this trick yourself by using our handy guide below. How to recharge stamina while swimming in Genshin Impact There’s nothing worse than spotting a hidden island and attempting to swim to it, only to find your stamina bar depletes just as you’re about to reach the shore. While ice users like Kaeya and Qiqi can freeze small bodies of water and get across uninhibited, they do rely on fairly long ability cooldowns. The above technique can certainly prove invaluable when you want to reach a particularly far off island, but it can take a frustratingly long time. However, one clever Genshin Impact player has found a nifty way you can regain your stamina while swimming. In order to do this trick, you’ll first need to find a body of water that has a nearby wall that you can climb onto. Simply begin swimming and as your character is about to run out of stamina, grab onto the wall and let go. As you’re falling, press the attack button to unleash a plunging attack. If done correctly, your character will quickly regain their stamina as they are falling. You should notice that your stamina bar has been replenished, allowing you to continue your aquatic adventure without any further mishaps. This process can be repeated so long as there is a nearby structure you can latch onto. Be sure to use this unlimited stamina trick in Genshin Impact whenever you next go for a dip.

Crazy Forza Horizon 5 clip takes over the internet after worst luck ever MicrosoftAn insane Forza Horizon 5 clip has gone viral on Twitter, leaving some players baffled as they witnessed one of the worst bits of luck ever. Forza Horizon 5 was one of the most anticipated releases of 2021, and the game quickly lived up to the hype after being released on November 5.

Now, an insane clip has gone viral on Twitter, leaving some players lost for words after watching the absurd, yet hilarious moment. On January 15, Twitter user 216doe shared the absurd clip, showing a Range Rover landing on top of another just moments after they’d taken the same jump.

The hilarious moment has since gone viral on Twitter, amassing over 5 million views, 500,000 likes, and 100,000 retweets – and it absolutely doesn’t seem to be slowing down at the time of writing.

The clip is definitely a rare moment to experience while playing Forza Horizon. Rest assured, it is pretty unlikely you’ll ever encounter this yourself, but give them a nudge off if you do.

The craziest bugs in WWE 2K20’s catastrophic launch WWE 2K20 launched on October 22 and the gaming community quickly discovered some of the most amusing bugs in recent memory. WWE 2K20 marks the first pro wrestling video game in the 2K era that hasn’t been co-developed by the Japanese veterans over at Yuke’s. Instead, production rested solely on the shoulders of Visual Concepts in California, and with only a few months to piece together a fleshed out entry in the series, it’s safe to say the short time frame did no favours for the state of the series. In a game almost entirely dependent on physics, timing, and a deep catalog of character animations, it’s clear to see how issues can arise, but the prevalence of comical bugs in 2K20 has reached an all-time high.

Everbody wanted the old WWE games back, so 2K listened and brought us graphics from the N64. pic.twitter.com/X2cCzwuvF7 — Smark to Death Podcast (@smarktodeath) October 14, 2019 One particularly egregious example comes from the latest Showcase mode which aimed to highlight the Four Horsewomen of WWE on their rise through the Women’s Evolution. In a simulation of the 2015 Night of Champions match between Charlotte Flair and Nikki Bella, the referee in WWE 2K20 got a little too close to the action in this scripted moment. The Referee loves him some Charlotte Flair Woo! #WWE2K20 :joyful: pic.twitter.com/XL5Syr2XUL — Mason Wrestling (@MasonSteelWWE) October 21, 2019 Awkward physics have led to a multitude of hilarious botches as some of the biggest names in professional wrestling today, appear incapable of executing even basic maneuvers in the latest release. Take this hilarious bug from pro-wrestling streamer ‘newLEGACYinc’ for example. Rather than allowing Shane Thorne to complete his attacking animation on Drew McIntyre, the game prioritized Kofi Kingston’s interruption instead. In one incomprehensible display of athletic ability, the ‘Scottish psychopath’ was contorted all over the ring. From a multiplayer standpoint, things aren’t much cleaner. Unfortunately, the game is essentially unplayable for the first minute or so as unjustifiable lag and frame rate issues grind the gameplay to a near halt. Barely able to move or interact with the environment, the competitive component of 2K20 seems to be a giant swing and a miss this time around. Not to mention that graphical fidelity has seen a major downturn with certain character models not reflecting their real-world counterparts in the slightest. As unsatisfied fans have even pointed out on Reddit, certain wrestlers looked far better in previous years. Evidently the sheer size of the current WWE roster, combined with the dozens of Hall of Fame icons, proved too much for the developers to keep on top of as the quality of essentially all character models has devolved. It remains to be seen whether the development team will be able to rectify the situation and drastically overhaul gameplay before a large portion of players walk away. With the yearly release cycle evidently not benefiting the series any longer, and the next generation of consoles just around the corner, could this mark a turning point for WWE games to go quiet and re-launch with a completely new land improved look down the line?
