Kotaku Friday, April 22, 2022 2:10 PM  Despite Elden Ring's notorious difficulty, folks are always looking for new challenges in the Lands Between.

But now, fans… |
Kotaku Friday, April 22, 2022 1:25 PM  It didn't take long for players of Gearbox's new loot-shooter Tiny Tina's Wonderlands to determine a "best gun." About a week after launch, fans settled on Liquid Cooling, a legendary-tiered pistol that can technically fire forever without reloading, provided you can reliably land critical hits. That, plus its… |

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 3:58 PM  This weekend is the kickoff for the first-ever Enter the Dragon showcase on Steam, which will feature more than a hundred games from Chinese developers that span just about every conceivable genre, from city-building games to FPS games. The festival runs April 22-29, with a special kick-off event scheduled for tonight at 7pm PDT / 10pm EDT / 3am GMT. There are some familiar faces featured in the festival, like action-FPS game Bright Memory: Infinite and the expansive industrial sim Dyson Sphere Program. However, there are a host of games we're seeing for the first time, too - SCP: Secret Files is an immersive sim and puzzle game based on the long-running community speculative fiction site, while Outpost is a multiplayer FPS game that challenges you to build and defend bases in a tower-defence/RTS hybrid. City-building game Ballads of Hongye is one that caught our attention, too: it's a settlement management game set in an idyllic rural village in medieval China. You're a young lord who has recently taken ownership of the lands, and you have to complete time-limited challenges as you manage your territories in order to impress a board of hard-nosed judges.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 2:26 PM  Minecraft speedrunning is a world full of rules and chaos, whether you're going for solo or co-op records. The general gist is to try dig through the sandbox game as fast as possible, all while adhering to the rules of whichever category you're going for. There are a bunch of different ones, but all of them have you embodying the Sonic the Hedgehog spirit: gotta go fast. YouTuber M8use and a team of other players all got together to conquer the game in under two minutes without glitches, and the whole thing is up in a video now. The video is over seven minutes long, but the first five minutes serve as an explanation for the run itself, which begins at 5:10. As M8use explains, this run is built for one specific Minecraft seed on the Bedrock edition of the game. The video shows the viewpoints of four of the five players in splitscreen. Each of them has a different role to fulfil, and it's a hectic thing to watch. If you want the full experience, it's probably worth picking one side and just watching that one. Watching Minecraft being completed in under two minutes, no matter how many people are involved, is incredibly strange to watch.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 1:14 PM  Xûr is Destiny 2's Exotic gear merchant. He appears every weekend to sell the game's most coveted items in exchange for Legendary shards, but if you're a casual player with limited shards to spend, it can be hard to know which of his wares is most worth your investment. That's where we come in. As of June 12, 2020, it appears that Xûr is back to providing random rolls - so the Exotic merchant is providing more excitement than he has in a long time. Xûr appears every Friday at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST, and will stick around until the Tuesday reset. We'll update this guide shortly after he arrives, so if you're reading this, you need only read on to learn where he is, and which are the best items he's selling this week. Now we're in Beyond Light territory, but Xûr's first appearances have been at the usual spots - so maybe don't expect too many surprises from the merchant in the new year of Destiny content.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 1:07 PM  Bungie's pinnacle PvP activity is back in rotation with a major revamp, and if you're looking for details on the Destiny 2 Trials rewards this week, you've come to the right place. Before you start working your way up through the ladder, you'll want to know what you're actually working for - so here's a breakdown of what's available each week, and what map you'll be playing on. If you're not familiar with Trials of Osiris, it's a weekly PvP challenge where you enter a competitive gauntlet of 3v3 elimination matches. Your rewards are now doled out with a reputation system, so it's not about pure wins anymore, but you will still get special rewards if you can manage to go flawless. Trials lands with the reset every Friday at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST, and lasts until the Tuesday reset at those same times. Each week provides a new set of rewards and a new map to play on, so here's what you can expect for the latest rotation.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 12:57 PM  Daggerfall Unity is growing into an Elder Scrolls remake worthy of billing alongside Bethesda's originals, and like those originals, it's carving out a niche on Nexus Mods. The fan-made Daggerfall revamp now has hundreds of mods available, and those mods have amassed over one million downloads. Pretty impressive considering Daggerfall Unity isn't actually even out yet. The milestone was highlighted by mod developer Cliffworms on Twitter yesterday. "Last year at around the same date, it reached 500K downloads. Here's to 1M more downloads in April 2023! Congrats and cheers to [Daggerfall Unity creator] Gavin Clayton for opening DFU to modding and to all modders and players!" We covered Daggerfall Unity back in 2019, back when it was first entering public alpha. These days, it's deep into beta, and continuing to look impressive. The original Daggerfall was massive, but notoriously buggy even by the standards that modern Bethesda fans have become accustomed to. Daggerfall Unity recreates the original, which is now available for free, in a modern engine, aiming to fix those bugs and improve playability on modern machines. |
PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 12:56 PM  We had a blast at the inaugural W.A.S.D. earlier this month, which featured game developers and players meeting up for three days of festivities at London's Tobacco Dock earlier this month. While the event has concluded, the in-depth discussion panels have been preserved - they're now up on our YouTube channel for everyone to enjoy. Joe Brammer, CEO of Battalion 1944 developer Bulkhead Interactive, delivered a talk Saturday afternoon about how he helped grow his company from a group of university friends into the triple-A development studio it is today. Bulkhead has expanded a lot over the course of the past two years - in fact, it's doubled in size from 50 to 100 employees. In his talk, Brammer discussed some of the unforeseen challenges he and his colleagues faced along the way, and about how establishing a strong company culture and identity was a key part of finding the right people to join the team. Brammer doesn't mince words about Bulkhead's journey - he's as candid in noting the studio's missteps as he is about highlighting its triumphs and strengths. Growing into a studio capable of taking on triple-A projects has involved a lot of learning on the job, plus plenty of improvisation in the face of unexpected challenges.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 12:47 PM  Alienware is launching a refreshed version of its Aurora Ryzen Edition R14 gaming PC as well as two new gaming laptops featuring the latest and best gaming CPUs from AMD. If you pick up the revamped Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R14 gaming PC you'll now be able to configure it with the "world's fastest gaming CPU", the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The company has also made improvements to the system's water cooling, claiming that its new "advanced liquid cooler" option can provide a 42% improvement in "thermal resistance" compared to the standard cooler However, it's unclear how this translates into operating temperatures while idle or under load. Seeking to conquer the realm of portable gaming PCs, Alienware is also releasing its most-powerful 15-inch laptop yet with the Alienware m15 R7. Packing up to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, it will undoubtedly make for a strong contendor for the title of best gaming laptop. A larger 17-inch version, the Alienware m17 R7 is scheduled to arrive later this year. RELATED LINKS: Best SSD for gaming, How to build a gaming PC, Best gaming CPU |
PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 12:26 PM  Looking for Roblox promo codes? There are all sorts of promo codes from Roblox events and giveaways out there, that grant you free virtual goods like clothes and items. No need to fork out cash for accessories; new codes are added all the time, so you can keep your Roblox character looking fresh. Roblox promo codes won't hang around forever, though - they're only valid for a limited time, so be sure to redeem them as soon as you discover one you haven't used yet. Redeeming them is simple - log in to the Roblox website and navigate to their promo codes page, where you can enter your code, and the item will automatically be added to your account straight away. Promo codes aren't the only source of free items, though; you can also find free Roblox stuff in the avatar shop. There are far too many to list, but there are hundreds of items available for nothing: simply click the 'get' button next to their catalog listing to add them to your account. Be sure to check back here regularly, as we'll update this page whenever new Roblox promo codes are released. RELATED LINKS: Best Roblox games, Is Roblox shutting down?, Best Minecraft seeds |
PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 12:08 PM  Looking for Genshin Impact codes? MiHoYo's charming open-world game is notoriously addictive, and if you're anything like us, you're constantly on the lookout for more Genshin Impact primogems and other goodies. Gathering currency in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind - while you can earn mora and primogems by completing quests such as daily commissions, an injection of extra funds will always be gratefully received. Fortunately, the developers MiHoYo occasionally send out free gifts in the form of Genshin Impact codes that can be redeemed online. These Genshin Impact codes are released periodically. They frequently appear in MiHoYo's special programs that reveal information about future updates coming to the game soon, but are also released to celebrate milestones or to coincide with Genshin Impact events. Most codes also only work for a limited time - so it's a good idea to redeem them as soon as possible in case you miss out. Codes can only be redeemed once per account. Here are all the current Genshin Impact codes for April 2022, and how to redeem them. RELATED LINKS: Play Genshin Impact for free, Genshin Impact character tier list, Genshin Impact leveling guide |
PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 11:37 AM  The first-ever W.A.S.D. has come and gone in a whirlwind, but thankfully, the thoughtful discussions that took place on stage at London's Tobacco Dock have all been preserved and archived. We're posting the show's panel discussions on the PCGamesN YouTube channel, so anyone who wasn't able to attend in person can enjoy these talks in full from the comfort of their own homes. Saturday featured a chat with Bulkhead Games CEO Joe Brammer and BetaJester co-founder Adam Boyne about moving to more flexible work schedules in the post-pandemic age of game development. Brammer and Boyne spoke with PCGamesN editor Richard Scott-Jones about the challenges their respective companies faced as the pandemic required a sudden shift to long-term work-from-home arrangements. Even though it's possible to do much or all of the work of development remotely thanks to readily available tech solutions like Discord, Zoom, and Google, teams do face new challenges when they stop sharing physical space. The panel touches on a few of these issues and how their companies have learned to address them over the past two years. RELATED LINKS: Best indie games, What is W.A.S.D.?, Upcoming PC games |
PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 11:36 AM  As we all patiently await the arrival of the official Steam Deck dock, it appears that Valve has quietly upgraded its specs ahead of release. While the number of ports on the device hasn't changed, there are a few key differences that will no doubt please owners of the handheld gaming PC. Prior to the Steam Deck dock revamp, Valve's official spec sheet listed a single USB 3.1 port and two USB 2.0 ports. Now, when visiting the same page, it appears that it will ship with three USB 3.1 ports instead. Additionally, the formerly non-descript "Ethernet" port is now explicitly described as "Gigabit Ethernet." These changes to the Steam Deck dock will greatly improve the speed at which you can download and play games via external gaming SSDs, due to the higher specification and rated speeds of both ports. Plus, this should alleviate any worries of the device inhibiting the performance of your gaming keyboard and mouse, as some peripherals demand USB 3.0 ports at minimum.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 10:47 AM  Learning how to manage cables within your gaming PC is more important than you'd think. While building your own gaming PC has never been easier, even the best graphics card and RGB clad case can't always save you from Reddit ridicule, especially if your rig's innards resemble some sort of spaghetti monster Taking time to manage cables inside your gaming PC may feel like a chore, but it could help your rig flourish. For starters, cleaning up your cables could prevent tasks like upgrading to the best gaming CPU from feeling like an action movie bomb disposal scene. Better still, if you want to boost fps in your favourite games, freeing up case space can help keep things cool when overclocking your CPU and GPU. Of course, you could just cheat by packing everything behind the best gaming motherboard and jamming the side panel back on, but there are far more elegant solutions out there. Follow these six steps of cable management and your setup could look like it's been done by a professional in no time. RELATED LINKS: Best SSD for gaming, How to build a gaming PC, Best gaming CPU |
PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 10:45 AM  All of the wisdom shared and collected at the inaugural W.A.S.D event is making its way onto our YouTube channel. If you weren't around to attend the event or catch a stream, here's your chance to learn something new that might help you in your career. For example, if you're trying to get your upcoming indie game noticed on Steam, you might want to check out this talk right here. The Loadout's Aaron Down was joined onstage at the PCGamesN Theatre with Future Friends Games' Paul Nadin to discuss the latest tricks to navigate PC gaming's most significant platform and its prominence in the current landscape of online stores. Steam might still be the dominant storefront for PC gamers, but how much value can be found elsewhere with the likes of the Epic Games Store? Once you've navigated past the backend software, one of Nadin's biggest tips for getting noticed on Steam is mastering how wishlists work. After all, your game will be seen by Valve's algorithm and placed in front of more people if it appears on numerous players' wishlists.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 10:28 AM  Want to know about the Final Fantasy XIV Aglaia raid? Introduced in the recently released 6.1 patch, Aglaia is the first stage of the Alliance Raid. The Aglaia raid brings together three parties consisting of eight players each to fight against the divinities of Eorzea. As is the case with most raids in this MMO game, there's a unique storyline to delve into, powerful equipment to find, and much more. This raid is part of the Myths of the Realm series, giving players a chance to learn about the twelve gods of Eorzea, exploring the divinities that have been lurking around the game's margins since the beginning. To jump into the Final Fantasy XIV Aglaia raid, you must be level 90, have at least the item level of 565, and complete all the main scenario quests from this new patch. Once you have done that, go to Old Sharlayan and speak with the Fresh-faced Student (X:9.1 Y:11.5) to obtain the 'A Mission in Mor Dhona' quest - this chain of missions lead you to the raid. Here's what you need to know to tackle the main bosses of the Final Fantasy XIV Aglaia raid. RELATED LINKS: The best MMOs on PC, FFXIV Reaper job guide, FFXIV Sage job guide |
PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 10:19 AM  The F1 22 system requirements are here to help you make sure your gaming PC can run Codemasters' latest racing game. While not much has changed in terms of specs from last year's entry in the series, you may want to book your system in for a pit stop so that you can enjoy the game's new VR support to the fullest. Blink and you might miss it, the only differences between the F1 22 system requirements and its predecessor's are the GPUs you'll need to run it. Thankfully, the barrier for entry remains low with the Nvidia GeForce GT 1050 Ti and AMD RX 470 proving more than enough. However, you'll likely want to arm your rig with the best graphics card you can for a couple of reasons. Aside from ray tracing, you'll be able to play F1 22 in VR for the first time in the series history which will need a decent amount of pixel pushing horsepower. Developer Codemasters has confirmed support for some of the best VR headsets, including the Meta Quest 2 and HTC Vive. RELATED LINKS: Best SSD for gaming, How to build a gaming PC, Best gaming CPU |

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 10:02 AM  Two Point Studios has unveiled a mystical module for Two Point Campus in a new trailer, giving the university management sim a Harry Potter game twist. Dubbed the "Wizardry course", the new gameplay element essentially lets players run an uncanny version of Hogwarts, complete with cauldrons, crystal balls, and pointy hats. In case you're out of the loop, Two Point Campus is an upcoming successor to Sega's medical sim, Two Point Hospital. Of course, the series itself is inspired by the 1987 classic Theme Hospital, which is considered one of the best old PC games of all time. Even if you're not into simulation games, Sega's academic extravaganza might serve as a Hogwarts Legacy fix, especially if you're just looking for something with magical vibes. The Two Point Campus Wizardy course reveals a glimpse into Two Point Games' wacky take on witches and wizards, including familiar activities like duels and potion brewing sessions. A press release for the trailer even suggests there'll be a "nefarious enemy" lurking around, so perhaps the game's shenanigans will be paired with some comical peril.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 12:06 PM  When is the Starfield release date? Thankfully we now know when we will be playing the first new Bethesda series in 25 years, but it's still a long way off. Regardless, that's still cause enough to scream so loud with excitement that we could be heard in space. The eventual Starfield release date will see the beloved Fallout and Elder Scrolls studio leaving the ground and heading out among, well, the stars. A whole field of stars, in fact. You might even call it a star field. What has the studio found there? That's what we're looking to work out, as the first meteorites filled with information begin to fall from the sky. Bethesda's online-only title, Fallout 76, disappointed us as much as it did fans of the post-apocalyptic games series. However, Starfield is a surer prospect in some ways: a single-player game, just like Skyrim and Fallout 4 before it. In other ways, it's bolder and stranger - a completely new universe, whereas Fallout and The Elder Scrolls are rooted in decades of established lore, locations, and creatures. Here's everything we know about Starfield. RELATED LINKS: Starfield release date, Best space games, Elder Scrolls 6 release date |
PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 9:50 AM  What are the best Minecraft mods? It's a question that's been asked for generations – ever since a young Plato attempted to tweak his game at the knee of Socrates. Or something. As new Minecraft mods have been steadily flowing out since the game's first public release almost a decade ago, there's a whole heap to choose from. Minecraft is a blocky phenomenon.

PCGamesN Friday, April 22, 2022 9:16 AM  Razer has finally unleashed its Levithan V2 PC soundbar onto the market, featuring several upgrades and new features that the company hopes will tempt you to find a place for it in your gaming PC setup. Comparing the Razer Leviathan V2 to its predecessor, the company's new PC soundbar boasts larger four-inch drivers which should help give the best PC games and music a little more oomph. The Leviathan V2's down-firing subwoofer has increased in size too, but the biggest improvement comes in the form of two passive radiator drivers, which should help improve the longevity of the device via dampening. It also comes with THX Spatial Audio, enabling to produce a great virtual 7.1 surround sound experience. For RGB fans who fancy having raves at their desk or those wanting to get super immersed in a Bill Wurtz track, the Razer Leviathan V2 also comes with 18 customisable lighting zones via Razer Chroma RGB.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, April 22, 2022 11:43 AM  There are plenty of space exploration games that take after Elite. It's only a matter of time before I end up recommending one here, since they're often pretty good, but Approaching Infinity has got there first because it's not only good, it's doing things completely differently. It's a free-roaming space game about exploring, trading, fighting, and doing questy things. But instead of copying Elite wholesale, it merely borrows some parts, and combines them with a classic roguelike framework, and lovingly paints the result with a huge dose of Star Trek. If your eyebrows just did a thing, I'd be very surprised if you don't enjoy it. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, April 22, 2022 9:00 AM  I was out with friends once and a person who was a mutual aquaintance with a pal, and who did something or other in theatre, looked at a couple of us with sad eyes and asked "What have you been doing recently to give your life meaning?" I think your reaction to the idea of someone asking you that will predict your response to Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between, a self-described "surreal journey through the spaces between places". Do you think "what have you been doing to give your life meaning?" is a cool way to start a conversation? A better prompt than you'd normally encounter? A big question, rather than small talk? Then you will probably be more open to the delights of Glitchhikers, a game where where you talk about choice and predetermination to what appears to be sentient windchimes while driving along a one-way motorway. Where you take a nighttime walk around a park peopled with meditating animals who have opinions about magic. |

Next week marks the 30th anniversary of the Kirby franchise, so we should be feeling celebratory! Instead, we're still smarting over the latest game's biggest snub: Waddle Doo isn't in it. So let's talk about Waddle Doo and why they're the best so that HAL and Nintendo won't forget next time. Unparalleled utilityMost Kirby players, when they think of Waddle Doo, probably mostly think of Beam. That makes sense! It's one of the franchise's longest-running power-ups, and one that you never mind having. Beam can hit at a distance. Beam can strike at an angle. Heck, Beam can shoot from the other side of the screen! Individuals may have a favorite power-up that's something else, but getting Beam never elicits a groan or sigh. It'll do what you need, whatever that happens to be. — Graham
Charming designWaddle Doo is the best Kirby character because their character design is incredible. Waddle Dee? That looks a lot like Kirby or Meta Knight. Awoofy? That's just a dog. (I mean, a cute dog, sure.) Waddle Doos have personality. Their eyes are incredibly expressive. They resemble Kirby and all, but are unique enough to be their own individuals. Also, whether it is a jester hat or a night cap, Waddle Doos pick up some rocking headgear. — Jenni Despite not being much of a Kirby aficionado, even I can recognize my Waddle Dee and Waddle Doo, and I always think that of the two, Waddle Doo is cuter. Why? As Jenni mentioned, it's the eye. It does all the work of a fully-featured face with but a single orb to ponder. — Josh
Waddle Dee is boringWe've been beating around the bush here, so I'll just get to it: Waddle Dees are not worth all the attention. Why? They're nothing. They're blank slates. To make a Waddle Dee interesting, you have to put a bandana or a mustache on one. Or hand it a parasol or something. An accessory isn't a personality! But Waddle Doo, though? Waddle Doo is shown to be a leader and organizer. Waddle Doo works hard and shows fatigue. And Waddle Doo isn't oblivious to the world and its trials. That's not to say Waddle Dees should go away entirely! But you're telling me you needed a 300th one before a single Waddle Doo? I don't believe that. — Graham Do you disagree that Waddle Doo is the best Kirby character? Most certainly don't let us know in the comments or on Twitter!

It will be available as an alternate head when it appears in December 2022 in Japan and February 2023 in North America. She costs ¥9,800/$89.99. All of Shiroko's accessories reference things in-game. She's wearing her normal outfit. The alternate head has her wearing her blue #2 mask. She has a neutral face and one in which she's looking to the side and blushing. She has her Abydos "halo" above her head. You can also equip her with her assault rifle and drone. Here's a look at the Blue Archive Shiroko figma and the figure's various parts. There is also a Good Smile Company Store bonus for her. If you order it direct, you get an extra face plate. It features Shiroko with her eyes closed and her mouth open, like she's singing. This is one of multiple Blue Archive figures Good Smile Company is working on. Ones for Karin Kakudate and Asuna Ichinose are in development too. The Blue Archive Shiroko figma will appear in Japan in December 2022 and in North America in February 2023, and pre-orders for the figure will close on June 1, 2022.

It's been a while since miHoYo shares a new Genshin Impact live wallpaper, but now there's a new one for Ayaka. The younger Kamisato sibling appears in a free background set in Inazuma. People who grab the N0va Desktop app can set it up for free. However, it is only available for PCs and Android tablets. The location in the Genshin Impact Ayaka live wallpaper might look familiar. That's because it falls between the Kamisato Estate and Chinju Forest on Narukami Island. It also looks like the spot where Ayaka dances in her story quest. People who set it as a background can watch as she moves along a river by a waterfall.
As a reminder, people can pull for Ayaka in Genshin Impact right now. She's on a banner with the four stars Razor, Rosaria, and Sayu. Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and N0va Desktop is available on PCs and mobile devices. The Ayaka banner will run in Genshin Impact until May 10, 2022.

A new Front Mission game is on the way, and this time it is for mobile devices. Square Enix announced Front Mission: Borderscape and noted people can pre-register for it immediately. There's no gameplay footage yet. However, the first trailer features some event scenes and commentary from Third Division Director Kouichirou Sakamoto and GCraft President Toshiro Tsuchida. During the trailer, the developer portion mainly served to set the stage for the potential events. Sakamoto noted he oversees the Front Mission IP. Tsuchida mentioned his work on the first three entries. Tsuchida then brought up the United States of the New Continent and the Oceania Cooperative Union and the tension between them. Specifically, he mentioned Huffman Island. Sakamoto then reminded viewers about past altercations involving it, like the first and second Huffman conflicts. Meanwhile, the rest of the video focuses on video segments setting the stage. We see pilots in Wanzers. There's an in-game news announcement, and a pilot talking with another about being "mercenaries." The person the one pilot is talking to mentions how he didn't think they'd be back in New Milgan, one of Huffman Island's cities. (It was a major location in Front Mission 1st. There's also a hint about a new Wanzer model. People can pre-register for Front Mission: Borderscape at the official site. People need to mention which platform they'll play on and provide their email. No pre-registration bonuses were mentioned. Front Mission: Borderscape will come to Android and Apple iOS devices, and people can pre-register now.

Another retailer is offering an extra item with Nintendo's Wii Sports successor. Like Walmart, Target is offering a Nintendo Switch Sports bonus item for no extra money. People who buy it there will get a bag for free. However, it will only be available while supplies last. [Thanks, Wario64!] Here's the official ad-scan. It noted that the game and bag will be $49.99 together. (That's the same price of the game alone.) The bag will be a blue drawstring type with the game's logo and various Sportsmate avatars participating in the titles' sports. As mentioned earlier, Target is the second store to offer a Nintendo Switch Sports promotional item, as Walmart was the first. Its pre-order bonus is a steel water bottle. It is silver and features both the game's logo and six icons representing the six sports present in the game. To refresh people's memory, the game includes badminton, chambara, bowling, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. People can play alone or against others online. However, online multiplayer does require a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. Physical copies of the game include a leg strap for a Joy-Con, which people can use while playing the soccer minigame.

People in Japan will be able to play Karuta card games with a Monster Hunter twist. Universal Music Japan opened pre-orders for the Monster Hunter: Great Roar Karuta set in Japan.

The latest mainline hunting action game released to date is Monster Hunter Rise, available on Nintendo Switch and PC.

Guilty Gear Strive will soon get its Another Story DLC. Arc System Works confirmed that the expansion, which brings new narrative content, debuts on April 29, 2022.

Kreutz. As it unfolds, Ramlethal responds to an emergency summons on the outskirts of Illyria. She encounters a new character named Delilah. Delilah is a girl awoken from a long slumber. She bears a connection to Bedman, a character from Guilty Gear Xrd Sign. Delilah is also described as having lived within a waking dream since her birth, due to a unique condition caused by her brain's inability to withstand her exceptional intellect and abilities. Her goal? Revenge for the death of her brother. Guilty Gear Strive is available on PS4, PS5, and PC. Its Another Story DLC goes live on April 29, 2022 for Season Pass 1 holders.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, April 22, 2022 3:00 PM  Humble Games has revealed Signalis, an upcoming horror game heavily inspired by classic '90s titles. Although an exact release date hasn't been given, it is expected to launch sometime in fall 2022. Those interested can add it to their Steam wishlist in order to not miss out when it becomes available. Signalis is the first game to be developed by rose-engine, an indie developer based in Germany. The studio consists of just two employees: Yuri Stern and Barbara Wittmann. These two are responsible for all of the game's illustrations and features. They have previously worked on Ascend, a short platformer about loss, and Coffin Counseling, another platformer featuring gravity manipulation. Rose-engine has been working on Signalis for quite a while and posted the first teaser back in June 2018. It takes advantage of a unique "striking pixel-art anime aesthetic," while delivering slow-paced atmosphere-focused gameplay. As its presentation would suggest, t... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, April 22, 2022 2:30 PM  If there's anything you can say about Elden Ring, I think we can all agree that it's a hard game. But FromSoftware did make sure to provide players with plenty of tools to get by, and the most prominent feature tool at the player's disposal is the game's co-op system. However, co-op has its limits that make the online experience less than desirable. A mod for Elden Ring seeks to solve the issues with co-op by introducing plenty of new features. LukeYui, the modder looking to solve these problems, made a similar mod for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The YouTube video showing this new Elden Ring mod off gives us a look at loads of neat features. After seeing the video you may even wonder why FromSoftware decided to neglect to implement these seemingly great ideas. The truth is that Elden Ring's co-op system is essentially unchanged from the way it worked all the way back in Demon's Souls. So FromSoftware could take some notes from this mod, as the feature... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, April 22, 2022 2:00 PM  Elden Ring is a couple months old, and its popularity is still thriving in its community. We're already seeing mods for the game, one of which immortalizes a popular hero among the fanbase. But this is really only the start. Creative fans are going to keep taking the game into strange, new places. For proof, you should look no further than the Elden Ring subreddit, where a fan is creating a Game Boy demake of the game. And they plan on committing. If you ever thought Elden Ring could work well in the mold of Link's Awakening, you apparently weren't the only one. Reddit user and streamer shintendo shared their work in progress on the Elden Ring demake, created with GB Studio 3.0. The footage is short, showing off the game's introduction sequence and first "boss fight." It's clearly early in development, but you can certainly view it as a proof of concept that may just work.

You play as Victoria Bloom, the daughter of a wealthy family. Bloom Manor, the large house owned by her grandad Victor, has become overrun by darkness. It's up to Victoria to head into the manor and take down the evil forces that lie within. She starts out with her trusty slingshot and flashlight but more gadgets can be found. These include weapon modules and upgrades to grow your arsenal for future runs. Each run is procedurally generated so every run differs from the last. The further you progress the more difficult the enemies get. Taking on the strongest enemies will require power-ups called boons. These can be found whilst progressing through Eyes in the Dark b... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, April 22, 2022 1:00 PM  As Call of Duty: Vanguard Season Three is just around the corner, Activision has shared a roadmap full of new content. Firstly, new multiplayer maps will arrive in Vanguard Season Three. The first map, Mayhem, is a 1950s movie set with an open roof, and it's built for fast-paced combat, so it could be literal mayhem. Later in the season, players will be taken to a hidden weapons lab with another new map, named Sphere. A further map that is small in size, expect to be in a lot of close-quarter combat throughout Season Three. Next, Call of Duty: Vanguard is getting a trophy system. Yes, you read that right. Trophy systems have been in various past Call of Duty titles and are useful in Warzone Pacific. When trophy systems finally arrive in Vanguard, they will intercept frag grenades, sticky bombs, and No. 69 stun grenades. With the launch of Season Three, trophy systems will be available instantly, meaning no unlock is needed like previous seasons. Vanguard Season Three road... |
