Kotaku Tuesday, April 19, 2022 2:24 AM  Earlier this month we learned that Sega's big, secret "Super Game" that has been in development for a while was actually a series of "AAA games". Bloomberg is now reporting that the first two of those are "big-budget" Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi reboots. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 9:05 AM  Want to unlock the Fortnite Prowler skin? As with previous seasons where you could unlock The Foundation or Superman skins, you can now unlock a new free Fortnite skin for the popular battle royale game by completing a set of challenges if you own the battle pass. So who is the man behind the Fortnite Prowler skin? This iteration of Prowler seems to be the more recent incarnation of the Marvel character. Most people may know of Prowler from the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as one of the henchmen of the main villain: Kingpin. He's a skilled martial artist, armed with steel-tipped claws to rip apart his enemies and effortlessly scale walls. Prowler is not the only Marvel character skin on offer this season, as you can unlock Doctor Strange by finishing the battle pass; you can also get some free Fortnite V-bucks to spend on premium skins whenever they're available. To get the Prowler Fortnite skin, you need to finish at least three of the Prowler quests. Here's everything you need to do to unlock the Fortnite Prowler skin.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 9:03 AM  The Steam Deck may be a handheld gaming PC, but it's currently the "top selling game" on Steam. That's according to last week's top seller data on SteamDB, which places the portable powerhouse ahead of Elden Ring and Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga in terms of revenue. The Steam Deck isn't a stranger to the weekly global top sellers list, as it occupied the second place for seven consecutive weeks. It now sits at first place for the week ending April 17, which suggests Valve's portable powerhouse is bringing in more revenue than ever. With the base model coming in at $399 USD, it's easy to see how the Deck could rake in more cash than a game. That said, Elden Ring has sold over 12 million copies worldwide since its launch, meaning the device has surpassed a rather high revenue bar. Steam Deck Q2 pre-orders are currently rolling out across the globe, something that has undoubtedly contributed to the micro machine's revenue ranking. The portable's place at the top isn't guaranteed to last beyond this week, but increased availability beyond the current quarter means it'll likely feature among the best selling Steam games for the foreseeable.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 9:27 AM  Blizzard has confirmed the WoW expansion announcement time, so we now know exactly when to tune in in order to see the reveal of the next big addition to World of Warcraft. The devs haven't officially revealed much, but as previously confirmed, April 19 will serve as the date for all the initial details on the MMO's next expansion. The WoW expansion reveal time is set for today (Tuesday, April 19) at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST. You'll be able to watch it on both YouTube and Twitch. As Blizzard says in the official announcement, "with the story in the Shadowlands coming to a conclusion, the time is at hand to get a sneak peek at what's next for the heroes of Azeroth." While there are no official details on the expansion yet, the title - World of Warcraft: Dragonflight - appears to have leaked via a recent update to Blizzard's own website. The update also noted Base, Heroic, and Epic pre-order options, so it's a pretty safe bet that pre-orders will be available immediately following the reveal, meaning that a release date is likely, too.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 8:00 AM  Want to know what the best Warzone Pacific guns are? Warzone Pacific Season 2 Reloaded has completely changed the battle royale game by unifying the Vanguard Royale and Battle Royale playlists together. This means players no longer have to use Vanguard weapons if they own any of the guns from Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War. Rebirth Island has also gone through radical changes, adding new areas to encourage players to explore the map. Picking out the best Call of Duty Warzone Pacific weapons can be difficult, especially with over 100 different options to pick from across three games. The latest weapons added to the FPS game are usually underpowered to avoid them dominating the meta early on, but we highly recommend unlocking every weapon as early as possible. Occasionally there's one or two weapons that manage to launch with completely broken stats, so it's worth keeping an eye on this page to find out which guns are currently performing well. Warzone Pacific is surprisingly well balanced these days, but there's always going to be a few outliers that manage to outperform the rest of the guns in their weapon type. Here's everything you need to pick the best Warzone Pacific guns. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 8:00 AM  Raid: Shadow Legends is certainly a game that rewards player who like to grind for the greatest accolades - but if you're looking for an easier prize, then this code is just what you need.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 8:00 AM  Want to know how to get Fortnite Omni Chips? It's an all-out war in the popular battle royale game, as the Imagined Order invades the otherwise calm island. One of the early unlocks in this season's Fortnite battle pass is the Omni sword, a customisable harvesting tool that costs seven battle stars. So, where can you find Fortnite Omni Chips? As soon as you unlock the new sword, you get four Omni Chips to spend immediately and can earn more by completing season challenges. You use these chips to unlock new styles, and each individual style costs anywhere from four to six chips. However, after unlocking the Omni Sword, you'll also get quests that require you to find more chips at specific locations on the new Fortnite map. Finding these chips is easier said than done, especially when everyone's running around using the new Fortnite sprint mechanics. To help you collect these chips as painlessly as possible and help you to unlock all of the Omni Sword styles, we have put together some maps showing all the Fortnite Omni Chip locations for each week, including the nine Omni Chips you can get in week 3 of Chapter 3 Season 2.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 7:27 AM  FromSoftware has revealed in the Elden Ring patch 1.04 notes that one of the best NPCs now has more content. That's right; Patches has got some new "event phases", to use the developer's lingo. Be warned, though, as the rest of this article contains spoilers. Still here? Grand. If you've done all the previous quests with the tricky trader, Patches will return to Murkwater Cave, which is where you initially meet him. This time, though, the fog gate will be back in action. If you head inside, the rest plays out much like before - open his chest, beat him up to a certain point, and spare him when he begs for mercy. This time, you'll get Patches' crouch emote for your troubles. If you've been out of the loop, Patches is a recurring character throughout most of FromSoftware's games. He's been in Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and even Armoured Core: For Answer. While slight details change, he's the same goofball who will annoy you before pleading for mercy when you eventually bust him. He does sell the odd good item, though. RELATED LINKS: Best Elden Ring settings, Elden Ring bosses guide, The best Elden Ring classes |
PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 7:09 AM  The hotly anticipated RTX 4000 release date may be just over the horizon, but it appears that new AMD Radeon GPUs could spoil Nvidia's launch plans. Emerging rumours suggest that both companies next-generation graphics cards could launch in the same month, which hasn't happened since the release of the GeForce 200 and Radeon HD 4000 series, almost 13 years ago. Ever-reliable hardware leaker Greymon55 reveals that "the next generation of new products are basically concentrated in September," which includes the RTX 4000 release date as well as new AMD Radeon GPUs built with the RDNA 3 microarchitecture. Curiously, however, it seems that the graphics card manufacturers will adopt very different release strategies for their components. Greymon55 comments that the RTX 4000 series may follow a "similar release order to that of Ampere", meaning that we should expect RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 GPUs to be available first, with the RTX 4070 following a month or so later. Contrastingly, the leaker also says AMD is poised to launch its Navi 33 graphics cards first, which will likely appear in its mid-range RX 7600.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 7:03 AM  Have you signed up for a VPN service yet? If not, your digital activity may not be as private as you may think. VPNs can prevent ISPs tracking your internet habits, allow you to safely access public Wi-Fi, and protect you from many other online threats - and right now, IPVanish's 12-month VPN plan is available at 63% off. As the name suggests, this VPN service is particularly good for privacy, as it has a kill switch that means that the connection will immediately be severed in the event of any service dropout. On top of that, this is a good way for you to access the online content that is normally exclusive to other regions. IPVanish is compatible with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and other streaming services, potentially opening the doors for swathes of great content for you to tuck into.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 9:41 AM  A new Magic: The Gathering Streets of New Capenna deck reveal today shows off all the cards players can expect in the Cabaretti Cacophony Commander deck, which is due for a release this month in one of the best card games on PC. Streets of New Capenna is the big new event launching this month, and we've got the details on all the cards in the Magic: The Gathering Cabaretti Cacophony deck. There are around 17 new cards in the set, including two premiums, and a lot of reprints too. The aim of this particular deck seems to be to amass many token creatures, pump them up, then go for all-out attacks with spells to reinforce your board or protect your creatures while attacking. The primary commander card is Kitt Kanto, Mayhem Diva, who 'encourages' your opponents into attacking each other by improving a creature's stats. Giving your opponent's creatures trample as well ensures it's an offer they can't refuse. The other premium is Phabine, Boss's Confidant, a literal cat lady who gives 1/1 creature tokens or pumps creatures by +1/+1 until the end of a turn - and also gives them all haste. Two very different cards there, it seems. RELATED LINKS: How to play Magic: The Gathering Arena, The best card games on PC, The best free PC games |
PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 6:31 AM  Ayaneo is known for its high spec Windows handheld gaming PC lineup, but the company claims it has "built the world's thinnest" portable powerhouse to rival Valve's Steam Deck. Spotted by Videocardz, Ayaneo CEO Arthur Zhange teased the group's ambitions on the Chinese website Weibo while describing the qualities of its new device. The Ayaneo boss says its new Windows handheld uses an "ultra-thin OLED" display, something that could help it compete size-wise with the Nintendo Switch. Yet, while the company is aiming for a lightweight formfactor, Zhange bigs up its performance while referring to the gadget as a "small steel gun", suggesting that it'll be durable and powerful. Devices like the Ayaneo 2021 cost significantly more than the Steam Deck, largely thanks to their souped-up specs. The pocket gaming firm's next handheld will likely follow suit, but Zhange does suggest that it'll be "available at a price that is close to the people". Naturally, this doesn't mean the portable's price will plummet, but a more accessible price might appeal to PC gaming enthusiasts looking for something punchier than Valve's offering.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 5:21 AM  Want to know what the best Fortnite skins in Chapter 3 Season 2 are? The latest season of Fortnite is finally here, and with it comes a host of changes to the game as well as plenty of new skins. The devs have finally introduced a 'No Building' mode, you can find Fortnite tank locations all over the map, and you can search Fortnite Omni Chip locations to build your Omni sword. Fortnite is no stranger to crossover characters, but Epic kicked things up a gear with the introduction of NPCs in Chapter 2 Season 5. The Mandalorian plus Grogu, Predator, and even Ellen Ripley from Alien have all debuted in the battle royale game. Season 6 took things a step further, throwing Neymar and Lara Croft into the fray, while Season 7 saw Rick, Morty, and Superman make their Fortnite debuts. Don't be surprised if your favourite characters eventually become one of the best Fortnite skins. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of characters Epic adds to Fortnite – if you've taken a break from the game and want to know who Epic will add to the Fortnite skin roster this season, we've got you covered. Chapter 3 Season 2 begins with Doctor Strange, and it looks like The Prowler is coming to the battle royale game during the midpoint of the season.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 5:24 AM  League of Legends patch 12.8 notes are already offering plenty to eyeball, despite the new update only just hitting the PBE. While LoL patch 12.7 has just touched down on the live servers, Riot Games is wasting no time getting more content ready for the MOBA game as MSI draws near. Patch 12.7 introduces Arcana skins for champions Ahri, Xayah, Rakan, Ryze, and Hecarim. If some flashy new duds aren't your thing, you'll want to check out the champion changes. While Riot has tweaked a few familiar faces, the most significant change comes to Zeri, who has got a total rework. As for patch 12.8, though, things are already shaping up for a big update. You've got Solar Eclipse skins for Kayle, Sejuani, and Sivir; Lunar Eclipse skins for Aatrox and Senna; and other unique skins for Gangplank and Yasuo. We've also got our first peep at mid-scope tweaks for Olaf and Swain. It's still early doors for the patch, though, so keep checking back for more changes to eyeball.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 19, 2022 5:08 AM  The Genshin Impact Ayaka banner release time is set for today, just after the Easter weekend, and - as promised by Mihoyo - it is a rerun for the popular five-star Cryo character as part of phase II of update 2.6 for the anime game. As was recently confirmed, the next Genshin Impact banner will launch today (Tuesday, April 19) and is a rerun of 'The Heron's Court' - the banner from last year that introduced Kamisato Ayaka as a playable character in Mihoyo's RPG game.

As for weapons, the banner includes the five-star Mistsplitter Reforged sword and The Unforged claymore, along with the four-star Favonius sword, The Bell claymore, Favonius Lance polearm, Favonius Codex catalyst, and Favonius Warbow.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, April 19, 2022 6:53 AM  It gets easier every day to find out which games will simply run on a Steam Deck; the list of Steam Verified-rated games is regularly extending, and SteamDB are keeping track of Playable and Unsupported games as well. Still, while these may be old favourites that you've already sunk hours into on a desktop, you might still be wondering how these games play when transplanted to the smaller screen and gamepad-ish controls of a handheld. Liam was wondering it, anyway. Thus, he picked ten difference game genres from the most-played on Steam, asked me to play at least one game that would broadly represent each, and report back on which are the most (and least) suited to life on the Steam Deck. |

Over the weekend, Square Enix addressed the FFXIV housing lottery issue that kept some folks from getting new plots due to errors. Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida confirmed he's involved working on a solution and explained what was going on. Now the latest updates explained why things happened how they did, confirmed people who didn't get an error can safely buy plots, and noted folks who are experiencing issues won't need to re-enter a lottery. First, Square Enix urged people who did win a FFXIV housing lottery plot to buy it. This is to ensure they get their house, for one. If you don't claim it when the lottery's second phase ends, you don't get the land. Second, it said it should be done because any fix the team sends out won't undo the results. The company promised "no adverse effect from the lottery data restoration." Yoshida then explained exactly what went wrong and the team's plan. He blamed processing and server-side issues for the FFXIV housing lottery plot bugs. In situations where the winner was "0," Yoshida explained what happened.
Yoshida also explained the next course of action. The team is currently using development servers to reproduce the FFXIV housing lottery plot problem. Then, it will create a fix and make sure it works. After verifying, it will restore the data, conduct maintenance, and hopefully get people who won the plots experiencing errors their new homes. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. Square Enix didn't announce when the next housing lottery will start. This first one's end was postponed due to the ongoing issue. However, the company did recently shared the list of all items added in patch 6.1. The post FFXIV Housing Lottery Issues Found, People Can Safely Buy Plots appeared first on Siliconera. |

Each bag will have a design that describes the details of the corresponding character in the actual game. For example, Sylvain's bag will come with fake fur based on the collar in his attire. It will also feature an engraving of Sylvain's quote, "My crest doesn't decide my fate."

A live-action Golden Kamuy movie is in development. However, aside from that, there is no information on the cast or main staff. It is also unclear when to expect the film to come out. In additional Golden Kamuy news, as there are two chapters left until the series ends, you will be able to read all chapters for free from Young Jump online until April 28, 2022. [Thanks, Dengeki!] Golden Kamuy follows the story of Saichi Sugimoto, who is looking for Ainu treasure. In order to find the gold, he has to follow a map of tattoos. The story focuses on Ainu culture and language, and takes place after the Russo-Japanese War. Satoru Noda, the manga artist, has Hiroshi Nakagawa of Chiba University helping him as a language consultant. It is unknown if Nakagawa or someone else will also consult for the Golden Kamuy live-action movie. Aside from Golden Kamuy, other live-action adaptations of shonen manga series are in development. For example, One Piece started filming in February 2022. The series will appear on Netflix, and the anime version is available on Crunchyroll and Funimation. A live-action series for Yu Yu Hakusho will also air on Netflix in December 2023. The live-action Golden Kamuy movie is in development. More information on its cast and release date will come out in the future. The post Golden Kamuy Live-Action Movie is in Development appeared first on Siliconera. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, April 19, 2022 9:33 AM  FromSoftware has just released the long-awaited patch 1.04 for Elden Ring. Patch 1.04 includes significant changes for Elden Ring, such as buffs to Colossal weapons and some magic. Some of these upfront alterations include a new option to toggle between the camera auto-rotating or not, as well as some new event phases for the Patches questline. Although, we do not know what has been added to the Patches quest specifically. When it comes to weapon and magic changes, there's a lot going on with this new patch, so strap yourselves in. The speed and damage of various Colossal weapons have been improved. On top of that, their recovery times have been lowered. Physical block rates and guard boosts for some of these weapon types have also been increased. Other weapons, like the Grafted Blade Greatsword and Devourer's Scepter, now do more damage. Elsewhere, various weapon skills have seen significant buffs. Increased cast speeds, decreased recovery times, and decreased stamina and FP ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, April 19, 2022 5:00 AM  Ah, time trial games. They're usually pretty light on content, but there's just something about racing against the clock to try and get better times. Warstride Challenges combines typical time trial elements with old-school FPS mechanics for something that's notably different than what's familiar. The game enters Early Access today, bringing with it a bunch of levels and some pretty demanding trials for players to overcome. The game will stay in Early Access for the next year or so, with plans to receive new levels and features as development comes to a close. But the question stands: is Warstride Challenges worth it in Early Access? There are no screens of text to sift through here. No half-assed explanations for who you're playing as or what they're trying to accomplish. You're a person who has guns, and you need to get through green gateways in order to access more levels. Once the game starts, you jump into the tutorial where Warstride Chal... |
