Kotaku Saturday, April 30, 2022 9:30 AM  Bungie was served a bit of a loss this week in its ongoing legal war against cheat makers and sellers. On Wednesday, a federal judge dismissed Bungie's copyright infringement claims against website AimJunkies while agreeing with the cheat seller's legal defense that the Destiny publisher's other, non-trademark-related… |
PCGamesN Saturday, April 30, 2022 9:53 AM  It looks like a FIFA 22 and Battlefield 2042 Game Pass release could happen as soon as next week, according to a couple of new rumours - including a leak from the Xbox store itself showing EA's multiplayer game and football game as part of the Game Pass May games. While only still a rumour, EA has increased the amount of games available on Game Pass for Xbox and PC via its EA Play app recently - such as Dragon Age 2 and Star Wars Squadrons in April. Now, it seems as if the publisher is readying one of the best sports games on PC and a struggling shooter for Game Pass. Battlefield 2042 first leaked as an imminent Game Pass release on a couple of European storefronts, as reported by German site Xbox Dynasty (via ResetEra) and Polish site XGP (via Reddit). The page for the FPS game had a Game Pass badge added to it, and Xbox Dynasty reported that both it and FIFA 22 are now available on Game Pass - they just can't be downloaded yet. |
PCGamesN Saturday, April 30, 2022 7:51 AM  In its latest developer diary, Hinterland Studio says that a The Long Dark season pass is coming "later this year" - which will represent the first paid DLC for the popular survival game since it was released eight years ago in 2014, as the studio founder hands the reins to a new lead. In a lengthy April update on Steam, Hinterland founder Raphael van Lierop talks about the future of The Long Dark and the changes coming to the open-world game - specifically, about the team's plans to "decouple" the sandbox survival mode and the story mode. He explains how The Long Dark has steadily "increased in scope and complexity" to the point where it has become "unwieldy". Furthermore, the close connection between the two modes meant that certain planned updates for one mode "couldn't really be done because of how they might impact the other". However, the team is now at the stage where it can "update survival independently of story". According to Raphael, players can now expect "a whole new era of survival mode content updates that will bring new life and new energy back into The Long Dark". |
PCGamesN Saturday, April 30, 2022 6:25 AM  It's been a long time since we heard anything on the PUBG horror game from the creator of Dead Space, but apparently it is "almost time" for The Callisto Protocol gameplay reveal - possibly even at Summer Game Fest in June, in fact. The Callisto Protocol is a new horror action-adventure game set in the PUBG Battlegrounds universe - for some reason - made by Striking Distance Studios, which includes several members of the ex-Visceral team that made Dead Space, such as series creator Glen Schofield. So, it's an exciting prospect - except that we haven't heard anything about it since its reveal at The Game Awards in 2020. Now, founder Glen Schofield has revealed some new concept art from The Callisto Protocol on his Twitter account, showing a creepy zombie-like human covered in an organic mass. Tantalisingly, Schofield also confirms that "it's almost time to show you the real thing". The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley replied with the classic teasing 'watching' emote. Given that Keighley also hosts Summer Game Fest in June, it's not that far of a stretch to imagine The Callisto Protocol getting a proper reveal at the show. |
