PCGamesN Tuesday, November 23, 2021 6:15 AM  343 Industries has revealed when Halo Infinite's Fracture Tenrai event starts. While the FPS game's multiplayer offering only launched last week, we're already getting an event that's stuffed with cosmetics to glamour up our Spartans. As 343 Industries confirmed last week, Halo Infinite's first swanky event starts today (November 23). You're getting 30 tiers of rewards to level through on a unique event pass, which is a decent increase on the 20 tiers that we thought we were getting initially. There's a theme to the rewards, too, as the Yoroi armour has a distinctive samurai vibe to it. The new gear may catch your attention if you remember hunting skulls for the Hayabusa armour in Halo 3. The event is hanging around for one week, but don't worry if you can't fully level the event pass in that time. 343 Industries confirms that the event will be available for one week every month throughout Season 1, which runs until May. Progress carries over, too, so you've got until a good stretch of time to get all your duds. RELATED LINKS: Halo Infinite release date, Halo Infinite system requirements, Halo Infinite ranks |
PCGamesN Tuesday, November 23, 2021 6:00 AM  Want to know more about the upcoming Genshin Impact events? A new version of Genshin Impact arrives every six weeks, complete with new characters, quests, and events. It's difficult to keep track of which events are currently running and if there are any new ones coming soon, so here's a schedule for all current and upcoming Genshin Impact events. Genshin Impact has a number of events running simultaneously, and they aren't just in-game events. When a new Genshin Impact character joins the game, the devs launch a web event at the same time - players learn about the latest characters through an interactive story told through a web browser. The rewards for completing different events range from in-game items like primogems and mora, to real life prizes like mouse mats and plushies. Just like the Genshin Impact banners, most events are only available for a limited time, so it's worth participating as soon as you can. New events are usually added to Genshin Impact after an update, but it's worth keeping an eye out on this page as the devs do like to surprise the community.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 23, 2021 6:11 AM  Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition launched a year ago this month, and there's been plenty to sink your teeth into since then, including - most recently - a big anniversary-themed bash with new maps, "tons" of Inca updates, and more. Now, Forgotten Empires and Tantalus Media have announced that there's a new DLC coming up very soon for the remastered strategy game - and it'll bring "the most strategically diverse civilization yet". The AoE III: DE Mexico DLC brings - yep, you guessed it - the civilization of Mexico to the game when it launches on December 1. "In Age III: DE, the burgeoning Mexican States can choose to revolt instead of advancing to the Fortress, Industrial, or Imperial Ages," the devs reveal. "Each revolt offers you a whole new deck full of opportunities." Unlike the game's other civs, Mexico can reverse these revolts and then return to Mexico, all while still "retaining access to the benefits of any cards sent during the revolution". There'll be a brand-new set of Federal States which you can use to "evolve your gameplay", and the devs say that the Mexico civ can "adapt to any strategic situation like no other" - so it sounds like the DLC will throw something pretty new and innovative into the mix.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 23, 2021 5:29 AM  There was a time when the best gaming mouse was exclusively wired, but now you can find yourself a reliable rodent for your gaming sessions that entirely omits troublesome wires. With Black Friday deals already live at many retailers, there's no better time to pick up one of the best wireless gaming mice on the market. The Razer Basilisk Ultimate, for instance, is 41% off on Amazon right now. Costing just $99.99, grabbing the Razer Basilisk Ultimate from Amazon US will save you $70.00 (41%) from its full price of $169.99. Meanwhile, Amazon UK shoppers can enjoy an even bigger saving of £96.00 (56%), bringing the mouse down to £73.99. You won't just be getting one of the best wireless gaming mice on the market today with your purchase, as it comes with its own charging dock as well. You can still charge it by connecting the supplied cable to the mouse itself, but it's hard to argue with the convenience offered by the dedicated recharging station that will always be ready for your mouse after many matches of Rainbow Six: Siege or CS:GO.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 23, 2021 5:56 AM  Wondering which faction you should pick in New World? After picking your New World server, one of the most important choices you'll make in the open-world MMO is your faction allegiance. If you're unfamiliar with Amazon's new game, there's a few things that distinguish it from your usual MMO game; there are no classes, you can only have one character per server, and the player base is split into three factions: Marauders, Syndicate, and Covenant. The faction you choose has a big impact on your gameplay. After selecting one, you cannot join a different faction for the next 120 days, and you are restricted to joining companies - guilds, essentially - that match your faction. If you opt-in to New World PvP, you can be attacked by players of rival factions while outside safe areas. You can also represent your faction in Wars, 50v50 PvP battles, over control of a settlement. The winner gets to be in charge of the settlement's development and tax rates, and also receives buffs in the local area. So, there are plenty of reasons to pledge your allegiance - but how do you decide on your New World faction?

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 23, 2021 4:36 AM  Mihoyo has revealed when you'll be able to play Genshin Impact's new content, which is pretty neato as that's precisely when Albedo and Eula's banner reruns start. Albedo and Eula's banners run to December 14, at which point Itto and Gorou's banner begins. The new characters are both geo users, though Itto is a five-star bruiser with a claymore, whereas the four-star general Gorou wields a bow and looks better suited to support duties. Their banner starts right when Albedo and Eula's end, so you won't be waiting around for long. Once the Genshin Impact 2.3 release date hits, you're also getting a string of new events and gadgets to help you see things out until update 2.4 arrives. Itto is getting a story quest, Beidou and Gorou will have hangout events, and you'll be able to capture animals in the overworld and bring them back to your Serenita Pot using the new Omni-Ubiquity net.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 23, 2021 4:00 AM  The final Hearthstone card reveal season of 2021 is upon us, which means we have something special to show off. The next Hearthstone expansion takes players to the snowy landscape of Alterac Valley, a popular battleground for Horde and Alliance forces to fight against each other. Remember the mercenaries from the Forged in the Barrens expansion? They're returning to the game as powerful Hero cards with game-changing abilities this time around. This expansion also introduces Objectives, a new type of spell that has effects which last for three turns. These spells have the potential to turn the tide of battle when played early in a match, but you may have to sacrifice a turn's worth of mana first. We also have a new keyword: Honorable Kill. Cards with the new keyword gain a bonus effect when they kill minions with exact damage, which leads us to our card reveal. We're pleased to reveal Brasswing, an epic eight-cost minion that's exclusive to the Paladin class. Featuring a whopping nine attack and seven health, Brasswing is a dangerous threat to most minions. The text on the card reads: "At the end of your turn, deal two damage to all enemies. Honourable Kill: Restore four Health to your hero."

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, November 23, 2021 6:17 AM  This Friday is dubbed Black Friday in the USA because it's a dark time, when people will literally be maimed or killed in the crush to buy cheap televisions. The lowest ebb of the year before Cyber Monday brings to the light of redemption to the world when kewl d00dz hackers hack the planet. But it does bring cheap video games. GOG have already started a small "Pre-Black Friday sale", with good discounts including 50% off Disco Elysium and 50% off Cyberpunk 2077. Hmm. I might recommend it at that price? |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, November 23, 2021 4:55 AM  The last time we saw DNF Duel was when it was first announced at the Dungeon and Fighter Universe Festival in December 2020. The yearly event celebrating the long-running MMO series of the same name was the first to showcase the 2.5D fighting spin-off. This is also when we learned of Arc System Works' involvement in the game. Now, a new DNF Duel gameplay trailer has dropped and it's the first we've seen of the game in almost a year. The game is being co-developed by Arc System Works and Eighting. This is in a similar fashion to how the studio worked with Bandai Namco for Dragon Ball FighterZ. Western gamers probably haven't seen Eighting in a very long time, as their last major title to hit our shores was Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Since then, the team has been developing Eastern exclusive Kamen Rider games, for the most part. As is the style of Arc System Works for the past few years, this trailer is very short. Even with it clocking in at under a minute... |
