PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 1:27 PM  Want to make the best Diablo Immortal Wizard build? While you could make the argument that any of the available characters can be the best Diablo Immortal class, the Wizard sadly finds itself at the bottom of our Diablo Immortal tier list. That's not to say its fortunes won't change over time in this fledgling RPG game, but for now, it struggles from a lack of power and a steep difficulty curve - there are so many skills to get your head around and using them in the right order takes a lot of practice. With the right setup though, there is a case for choosing this class, as the best Diablo Immortal Wizard build is highly effective in a supporting role while delving through dungeons with other players. Additionally, by stacking chill effects with your spells, you can open up additional opportunities for your teammates to use their most damaging AoE attacks. Your choices for gear and gems are crucial for this build, and you need to get to level 41 to get the full suite of skills. It will take some time to get everything together, but once you do, you'll become an invaluable ally for PvE dungeons and raids.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 12:40 PM  The MSI Immerse GV60 is the first desktop gaming microphone from MSI, with the company hoping to carve out a space in the audio capture market for itself against competitors like Blue and Elgato. The good news is that there's a lot to love about this debut device, but it hasn't quite escaped all the trappings that can come with first generation products. Setting up the MSI Immerse GV60 is a breeze, as the microphone arrives preassembled in its stand. This means you only need to find a place for it on your gaming desk and plug in the included USB-C to USB-A cable into the bottom of the mic and your gaming PC. While the decision to use this inarguably more convenient connector type is partly down to the GV60 being a relatively new device, I'm glad MSI opted for it over something like USB Micro B which is found on the more expensive Blue Yeti X. Looking at the MSI Immerse GV60, the phrase 'sitting pretty' springs to mind, regardless of whether you've plopped on the included foam pop filter or not. This is mostly down to it being made of metal rather than plastic, with the white labels for its three control dials contrasting nicely against its otherwise uniform matte black colour scheme.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 12:01 PM  The Fortnite Among Us collaboration is here, and it's official this time. Fans of the battle royale game juggernaut will remember that its Impostors mode was inspired by Among Us, by Epic's eventual admission. The studios then teased that a more organised collaboration was in the works - and that crossover is now here, courtesy of a crewmate back bling piece and a distraction dance emote based on the breakout indie social deduction game. The cosmetics are available by making any Among Us related purchase on the Epic Games Store between June 9, 2022 and June 9, 2023. According to Epic's FAQ, "This promotion is part of the Epic mega sale, and to get the cosmetics you must make the purchase on the Epic Games Store during the promotional window." Once the cosmetics are unlocked, however, they will be available for use on all platforms linked to that Epic Games account. The back bling puts a crewmate on your back, with all the standard colours available to choose from. It even makes the impostor kill sound when you get a kill! The distraction dance is Fortnite's take on the hand-clapping, foot-stomping animation from Innersloth's game. Epic also notes that "these cosmetics will be available in the Fortnite in-game shop at a later date." RELATED LINKS: Fortnite V-Bucks, Fortnite Skins, Fortnite Creative Codes |
PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 11:24 AM  Looking for the best Vampire Survivors power ups? You can purchase power ups in the main menu to aid you in your bid to survive the night. They each have different effects from raising damage to reviving characters, but which are the best power ups? The best Vampire Survivors power ups are Cooldown, Area, Speed, Duration, Might, Recovery, Max Health, Reroll, Revival, Luck, and Banish. You can see what each power up does below from the full list, but you want to prioritise these power ups, although you'll eventually be able to buy them all with enough gold, you can also choose to further upgrade most power ups multiple times to buff the effect. To get gold, you need to pick up coins and money bags found in chests or by breaking lanterns. Completing a stage of the game also rewards you with coins you can use to buy power ups for your best Vampire Survivors characters by accessing the power up shop in the main menu.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 12:36 PM  Want to know how to unlock secret characters in Vampire Survivors? When you start your first run you only have a handful of Vampire Survivors characters and a few weapons available. However, on each playthrough, more items, weapons, and characters unlock for you to use in future attempts. These items are vital if you wish to use Vampire Survivor weapon evolutions to maximise a weapon's damage output. The game also locks new characters behind requirements, such as leveling up your gear to a certain threshold, finding items in a level, or slaying a quota of monsters. Later on, you can also find Arcana to give your weapons unique bonuses to annihilate your foes. Some of these unlock conditions are vague and confusing, so we thought we'd list how you can get all of the Vampire Survivors characters, weapons, items, and levels. We also have a cheat code that you need to type to get another hidden vampire slayer and steps to access a secret character that requires you to tinker with the game's code.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 11:21 AM  Want to know how to evolve weapons in Vampire Survivors? This roguelite indie game is rapidly gaining in popularity, as players discover the sheer joy of walking around a forest or library, slaying an ever-growing encroaching horde of monsters that just want to be very close to you. It's a relatively simple game to play, but mastering it and unlocking Vampire Survivors characters can get a little tricky if you don't spec into the correct build from the start. To evolve an item in Vampire Survivors, you must first level up a weapon to its maximum level, collect its linked item when it appears on the level up screen, then kill a boss monster and open the chest it leaves behind. Unfortunately, you only have a few slots for weapons and items, so you must choose carefully. The items that synergise well with a weapon aren't necessarily the items you need to evolve them, so while you'll want to pick up the Candelabrador if you have the Garlic weapon, you also need a Pummarola to power it up. To help you figure out which items you should keep on a run with the best Vampire Survivors characters, we've put together a list of all the possible Vampire Survivors weapon evolutions and which items you need to pick up when you level up.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 12:33 PM  Want to make the best Diablo Immortal Barbarian build? The Barbarian is the quintessential close-range Diablo Immortal class, and a great choice for newcomers to the Diablo series. Where other classes may prefer to hang back and deal damage from a relatively safe distance, Diablo Immortal's Barbarian charges ahead of the party to get right up in the enemy's face. Unlike other classes, such as the Demon Hunter and Necromancer, the Barbarian's secret to success isn't damage output, although the class can certainly hold its own in that regard. Instead, the Barbarian's primary role is to tank as many hits as possible, drawing enemies away from their squishier allies. Pairing high mobility with devastating area-of-effect abilities, the Barbarian excels at tearing through multiple enemies at once. However, high cooldowns and limited means of retreat mean that the Barbarian is particularly vulnerable to becoming overwhelmed. We're breaking down the best attributes, skills, gear, and gems to keep your Diablo Immortal Barbarian build slicing and dicing.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 11:01 AM  Diablo Immortal has already seen its fair share of division over its microtransactions, and now one YouTuber has uncovered several hidden Diablo Immortal loot caps which quietly restrict the amount players can progress in a single day of Diablo Immortal leveling. The action-RPG game's designers have insisted that Diablo Immortal's microtransactions never circumvent core gameplay. Diablo Immortal YouTuber echohack (via Forbes) describes these hidden restrictions in a video titled 'I'm depressed about Diablo Immortal's hidden caps.' Echohack, who has been playing the game since alpha and says that they're "in for the long haul," talks about several hidden caps not mentioned directly by the game that they and their friends have run into during "massive ammounts of gameplay and testing," including reduced drop rates for legendary items and Diablo Immortal gems which are a key part of late-game upgrades. Echohack says that their research revealed that after six legendary item drops in a day, your future drop rate severely decreases. The same applies to normal gems awarded when playing in a four player group - the first six found each day have a much higher drop rate, dropping to an estimated one normal gem per hour afterwards. In addition, side quests, purple bosses, cursed chests, and random map events all stop giving rewards after the first five in a day, while Library of Zoltan Kule treasure rooms are similarly limited to five per day.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 10:54 AM  It's no exaggeration to say that Game Pass is revolutionising the way that people play games, and expanding the horizons of gamers around the world. A few years ago, trying a new game would have meant coughing up a chunk of hard-earned cash – but Microsoft's Game Pass lets you dip your toe in without having to buy the whole bath. The selection of games included in Game Pass for PC encompasses enormously popular FPS games like Halo: Infinite, open-world favourites like Fallout 4, cutting-edge racing games like Forza Horizon 5, iconic strategy games like Age of Empires 4 – all for under $10 a month. The selection is so diverse, no matter what your preferred type of game, you're sure to find something that you can sink hours into. Today, huge portions of the population watch television through streaming services, and it's not hard to imagine a similar future for the video game industry. Games are getting more and more expensive all the time (and we, the downtrodden masses, can't always keep up financially). However, Game Pass provides a convenient and affordable way to access a vast library of popular games. |
PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 10:10 AM  Want to know more about Call of Duty: Warzone 2 release date? In a special briefing earlier this year, Infinity Ward confirmed their hugely successful Call of Duty battle royale game is getting a sequel. Warzone 2 looks set to be built on a new engine, with an all-new playspace and a sandbox mode, resulting in a "massive evolution of Battle Royale". With Call of Duty Warzone Season 3 Reloaded in full swing and Activision Blizzard confirming the game reached over 100 million active players last year, Warzone 2 is undoubtedly one of the biggest upcoming games in some time. We finally know a lot more about Warzone 2 thanks to the recent reveal of Modern Warfare 2's release date, including the host of engine upgrades coming to the FPS game. Sadly, we still don't know when the Warzone 2 release date is. We've put together this guide with everything we know about Warzone 2, including its rumoured release date, what the next Warzone map might look like, and much more. |
PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 10:02 AM  Starfield is expected to release at some point in 2023, but a subtle Xbox Game Pass disclaimer suggests the sci-fi romp could arrive within the first few months. The rumour should bring comfort to Bethesda fans waiting for the publisher's next best RPG game, but there's room for debate over the exact meaning of the potentially unintentional blurb. Highlighted by Reddit user Ganndalf, the spotted disclaimer states that Starfield is "expected early 2023." This means the space adventure may show up as early as January, but it also hints at a Q1 release date window. Of course, the Xbox Game Pass information might also be a reference to Bethesda's previous Starfield delay, which claimed the game's launch was pushed back to "the first half" of next year. Just like with all rumours and speculation, you should take this Starfield release date tidbit with a grain of salt. That said, it perhaps helps reassure those eagerly awaiting the RPG's arrival, as some Starfield fans have resorted to staring at doors to uncover any news.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 9:57 AM  The masterminds behind Until Dawn are back with another horror game, but before you can enjoy the thrill of the chase, you'll first need to check whether your gaming PC meets The Quarry system requirements. You have a good chance of being able to run the frightfest if your rig can play any of The Dark Pictures Anthology series, but the recommended specs are reserved for modern systems built within the past couple of years. It's not clear what kind of resolutions or frame rates Supermassive Games aims for with The Quarry system requirements, but hitting the minimum is relatively easy. Much like other games in the developer's catalogue, you'll be able to boot with a decade-old gaming CPU, a six-year-old graphics card, the standard 8GB of RAM, and 50GB of space. It doesn't even require the speed of the best SSD for gaming, although it couldn't hurt if you wanted to pick up the pace of loading times. To hit the recommended system requirements, The Quarry doesn't just demand processors released in 2020 onwards, but top-of-the-line chips at that. It lists the Intel Core i9 10900K and AMD Ryzen 7 3800 XT, setting a high bar for those that haven't upgraded in a while. Recommended GPU requirements aren't quite as extreme considering it targets entry-to-mid range and new Nvidia RTX 4000 graphics cards are just around the corner, but some may find these specs somewhat punishing.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 8:14 AM  The AMD RDNA 3 release date should fall later this year, but the company has remained tight-lipped as to when we can expect to upgrade our gaming PCs with new Radeon graphics cards. However, it now appears that upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 GPUs may enjoy a small head start against their RX 7000 competition. According to reliable hardware leaker Greymon55, the RDNA 3 release date will be sometime in October or November, with Radeon 7000 cards entering preproduction this month. If true, this could give Nvidia an edge in the best graphics card race, with team green expected to reveal RTX 4000 GPUs in July, followed by the launch of the RTX 4090 in August. Rumours also suggest that Nvidia plans to release the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 in September and October, respectively, capitalising on the lack of next-gen competition from team red. We don't yet know what order AMD plans to release its RDNA 3 GPUs, but previous launches indicate that the RX 7800 XT will debut first, with other cards like the RX 7900 XT following suit sometime afterwards.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 12:13 PM  What is the GTA podium car this week? GTA Online vehicles are expensive things, so we're happy to take a spin on the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel to get a discount. Winning isn't guaranteed, sure, but it isn't out of the question either. Look, we don't have a problem - leave it alone. Finding out what the GTA Online podium car is simple enough - it's winning it that's the challenge. You can spin the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel once a day, and each Podium Car refreshes after seven days on a Thursday. Basically, you have seven shots to get the vehicle of that given week. If you own a Penthouse, you can spin it for free, but if you don't it's $500 a spin. Don't fret if you don't win, as you can try for something else. You have a one in 20 chance of getting the podium vehicle, a car discount, or a mystery prize. There's a four in 20 chance of getting clothes, chips, and cash. Finally, there's a five in 20 chance of getting RP. On that note, here's everything you need to know about this week's GTA podium car. RELATED LINKS: GTA 5 mods, GTA 6, Buy GTA V |
PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 7:32 AM  The Netflix League of Legends TV show Arcane is getting a 'making of' documentary, and it'll give fans something to feast on before season 2 arrives. Dubbed 'Bridging the Rift', the five-part mini-series pulls back the curtain on the critically acclaimed adaptation while promising to explore "how Arcane came to be." Riot Games says Arcane: Bridging the Rift will release on YouTube every Thursday starting August 4. A Twitter teaser for the making of documentary includes the line "Every legend has a beginning, and it's not always where one would expect," suggesting fans could be in for a few insightful surprises. Making its debut in November last year, Arcane follows the story of sisters Jinx and Vi, two popular League of Legends champions that find themselves on opposite sides of conflict. Season 1 received praise among critics for its unique animation, story, and voice acting, with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating hammering home its acclaimed status. We also reckon it's one of the best videogame TV adaptions ever made, standing on its own merit rather than relying on existing lore.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 10:33 AM  It's 2022, and AMD plans to paint your gaming PC red with its next-generation AMD RDNA 3 GPUs and Zen 4 CPUs. The new Radeon pixel pushers will likely rank amongst the best graphics cards available, but they'll face stiff competition from the likes of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4000 and Intel's Arc Alchemist product stacks. RDNA 3 graphics cards will undoubtedly offer greater performance than the current RDNA 2 based Radeon RX 6000 series, AMD FSR's lack of AI-enhancement could prove to be a weak point in the company's arsenal. Intel XeSS aims to boost fps and deliver image quality akin to Nvidia DLSS across all GPU brands, which could see it push out AMD FSR entirely. On the bright side, AMD CEO Lisa Su reckons RDNA 3 shouldn't be as affected by the ongoing chip shortage to the same degree graphics cards have been for the past two years.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 1:50 PM  It's getting to be about that time of year when we dust off our traditional sunglasses, bust out the lemonade, and settle in for videogame trailers season. While there's no E3 this year in either in-person or streaming formats, we've got Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest to look forward to. Here's the Summer Game Fest start time, as well as the various platforms where you'll be able to tune in to catch all the upcoming PC games news. Summer Game Fest is showcase of announcements and trailers for upcoming games, hosted by journalist and presenter Geoff Keighley. It usually runs for around three hours, and includes many world premieres of new teasers and game footage. You won't need to register for the show in order to tune in, and the show will air on all major streaming platforms. You can watch it on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. For a more 'live show' experience, you can also watch Summer Game Fest at select IMAX theatres in the US and Canada. |
PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 8:27 AM  Terraria is getting a new sight potion, and it reveals the sandbox game's dreaded evil biomes. The new item should help players prevent corrupted landscapes from infecting the world map, a hardmode feature that transforms the map into a pixelated hell. Re-logic's head of marketing, Ted "Loki" Murphy, shows off the new Terraria sight potion in a short clip, with the item seemingly revealing the presence of evil biomes such as the corruption and the crimson underground. Doing so enables the player to purge the tainted areas using a Clentaminator, a steampunk style gun that can be used in the game's hard mode to create and destroy ecosystems. In response to the Terraria potion reveal, fans are heralding the item as a game-changer. The handy beverage should help hardmode players eliminate every patch of sinister soil on the world map, ultimately curbing evil from showing up at your base door. One player suggests it could even improve the experience for colourblind adventurers, as it makes hallowed and normal stone more distinguishable in low light conditions.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 6:09 AM  Looking for the best Genshin Impact Heizou build? Although not confirmed, the current rumours suggest that this new Genshin Impact character will release during the Genshin Impact 2.8 update later this summer, although an exact Heizou banner release date is probably a while off yet. It's perhaps a touch early to be thinking about the best Genshin Impact Heizou build, but enough information has leaked from a recent 2.8 beta via Honey Hunter that we can start to do some theory crafting. We know Heizou is an Anemo character, but everything else is unconfirmed at this point - including the suggestion that he could be the RPG games' first male catalyst user. We've put together a guide on some of the best theory crafting surrounding Heizou right now, summarising what his top picks will be for weapons, as well as artifact sets to make the most of his leaked abilities. The current theory is that he will be a main DPS catalyst, so you'll want to maximise his own damage output as an on-field character, rather than a support.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 7:09 AM  Want to know about new Genshin Impact characters? Since its release in 2020, the addictive anime game has seen plenty of regular updates expanding on the game's content - and adding several new characters by way of limited time banners. New Genshin Impact characters - according to Hoyoverse's Genshin Impact roadmap - should release with every major update. If past experience is anything to go by, during each new patch there will be at least one Genshin Impact banner with a new five-star character, and possibly new four-star characters included as well. That said, several new Genshin Impact characters have been added outside of this schedule, like Genshin Impact's Klee - so we could see new characters arrive unexpectedly, too. Yelan and Kuki Shinobu are the most recent new characters to arrive in the Genshin Impact 2.7 update, and we know that Heizou is also coming, possibly in the next patch. There are also a few leaks and some datamined information concerning new faces that may appear in future Genshin Impact updates. However, until they're officially announced, these characters are not final and may be subject to changes.

PCGamesN Thursday, June 9, 2022 6:03 AM  It looks like developer Playground Games has once again teamed up with one of our favourite toy brands to bring us Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC, at least if the latest leak is anything to go by. This would be the first expansion for the best racing game and the second time the two companies have come together in a gravity-defying collaboration. The Forza Horizon 5 DLC first appeared online as half of a banner image on Steam, showing off the iconic windy tracks we've come to expect from Hot Wheels. It's still live at the time of writing, but Wario64 has immortalised the slip of the finger in a screenshot just in case it gets taken down. Currently, details are a little thin on the ground. It'll presumably debut at Summer Game Fest beginning June 9, but we're not yet sure of a release date. We do know the price, though, as it'll be one half of the Forza Horizon 5 Expansions Bundle for $34.99 / £26.99. Alternatively, you can nab the DLC as a part of the Forza Horizon 5 Premium Add-ons Bundle on Steam for $47.66 / £37.59, complete with the VIP pass, Welcome Pack, Car Pass, and Expansions Bundle.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, June 9, 2022 9:05 AM  Inside ActivisionBlizzard there are two wolves. Possibly dire wolves, or some other species of fantastical monster with surplus vowels in the name. Dreade Froste Beaste Wolfe. Anyway, one of them is made of decent people, developers who are fighting for better working conditions and making the best games they can under the circumstances. The other is Blizzard the organisation, a management structure seemingly incapable of making anything other than the worst decision possible in any given situation. So really, it's actually more like one wolf, and one flapping headless chicken (the chicken having also received a lot of allegations of harrassment and discrimination, and a lawsuit from the state of California). Diablo Immortal, which is currently on open beta for PC and out properly for mobile (both for free), was largely made by the wolf, and it's all right to play! However, I don't know why the chicken wanted to put it on PC in its current monetised form, apart from the fact it's a bad decision and we've already established those are the only kind of decisions the chicken can make. |

The next DNF Duel character reveal is here, and this time it is the Swift Master. In Dungeon Fighter Online, the subclass stems from the Male Mage and is known for using wind to attack. This comes up during his play video, which focuses on the character's magical attacks. Things begin with the Swift Master flying into the battle on his staff. It then shows how the mage will use wind when facing a foe. In the sample footage, it looks like gusts can be used to force the opponent into certain positions. There are also winds and small tornadoes used to attack and lift the enemy into the air. For a finishing move, the Swift Master zips around the screen while attacking, all while also summoning another tornado. Here's the full DNF Duel Swift Master character trailer. This makes three DNF Duel characters revealed in June 2022 so far. The first is the Launcher. Her appearance initially made it seem like she was the Mechanic instead. (Both the Launcher and Mechanic are Female Gunner subclasses in Dungeon Fighter Online.) The second was the Troubleshooter. That's an Agent subclass. DNF Duel will some to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on June 28, 2022. The post DNF Duel Swift Master Character Trailer Revealed appeared first on Siliconera. |

Sony leaked one of its own major announcements. Its PlayStation Direct site revealed The Last of Us Part 1 for the PlayStation 5 and PC. The storefront only featured a product page for the PS5 version of the game, which will be out on September 2, 2022. A trailer, which is still available online at the time of writing, mentions a PC version is "also in development." [Thanks, Modiz at Resetera!] The trailer begins by showing the world while Joel talks about Ellie. It then shows snippets of gameplay and cutscenes. It notes that Naughty Dog rebuilt The Last of Us Part 1 for the PS5. The leaked PlayStation Direct product page also showed the box art for the base game and a Firefly Edition. The Firefly Edition will be a PlayStation Direct exclusive version. Its description noted people get the base game and Left Behind prequel in a SteelBook case.

Metal Max Wild West, a new entry in the long-running Metal Max franchise, is canceled. In an announcement posted to the official Metal Max Xeno social media accounts, Kadokawa Games informed its audience that development of the game, scheduled for release in 2022, has been discontinued. Kadokawa also apologized to fans looking forward to the game and partners potentially affected by the cancelation. No specific reason for the cancelation was given, but the full statement mentioned Kadokawa's consideration of the "current state of development" for the game as a factor in the decision. https://twitter.com/metalmaxxeno/status/1534853756919361538 Metal Max Wild West was originally announced in 2019 as Metal Max Xeno Reborn 2. According to a 30th Anniversary stream event from 2021, the game would take place after the events of Xeno Reborn and involve a new protagonist restoring a post-apocalyptic city to life. It was themed around the concept of rebuilding, though it would still center around the vehicle-based combat of the series proper (and Xeno in particular). Though Metal Max Wild West is gone, Kadokawa is still working on games in the franchise. Xeno Reborn will soon be available outside Japan, only the second (third, if you count the original release of Metal Max Xeno in 2018 as separate) game in the franchise to make it overseas. A top-down shooter spin-off called Metal Dogs is available on PC, PS4, and Switch and stars Pochi, the armed and armored dog from Metal Max Xeno Reborn. And there's also Metal Saga: Flames of Rebellion, a new game that's still in development and targeted for the Nintendo Switch. Lastly, there is still Code Zero, the code name for a reboot of the original Metal Max. That game, however, has had no public updates since its announcement in 2019. Metal Max Xeno Reborn launches on June 10, 2022 for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC. The post Metal Max Wild West Canceled appeared first on Siliconera. |

Another member of the 13 Flame-Chasers will become a playable character in Honkai Impact 3rd. This time, it will be another SP, aka an A-rank, one. The Griseo Starry Impression battlesuit will debut in Honkai Impact 3rd 5.8. There's also a video starring members of HoYoVerse discussing the character, her development, and how she'll work. First, Griseo is the 11th ranked 13 Flame-Chasers member in Honkai Impact 3rd. She's one of the younger people in the group. She's also known for being a talented artist. This is referenced in her design, as she comes "equipped" with a brush and palette. In the introduction to her video, she also asks about a place to draw. Once the preview gets into in-game footage, the artistic elements are shown off. When she attacks, it looks like brush strokes with different colors of "paint" hitting a foe. Her basic attack can also "absorb" colors, and the charged attack uses all the paint she collected. The concept behind her suggests she was a child of someone who involved with MOTHs who ended up being part of the Flame-Chasers. So she grew up alongside her fellow members. She's described as a pure, innocent, and lovable girl, one who might not always take the best care of herself due to being distracted by her hobby. That is also why she has a "knight" to assist her in fighting, as she's both a young adult and artist, rather than someone more accustomed to combat. Here is the full Honkai Impact 3rd Griseo Starry Impression battlesuit preview. Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and its 5.8 update will add the Griseo Starry Impression battlesuit. The next update is expected to arrive in June 2022.

Nintendo offered a chance to hear a song off of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 soundtrack. It took to Twitter to share "A Life Sent On." It also noted that this is a song Noah and Mio would "perform" in-battle. There's no in-game footage accompanying it. Rather, there's the image of the Uraya titan and Mechonis in the background instead. Here is the song taken from the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 soundtrack.
For reference, both Noah and Mio are off-seers. This means they are part of the respective nations' armies and fill a certain role. When people die on the battlefield, they play music for them on flutes. Noah does so for Keves, while Mio is an off-seer for Agnus. Nintendo also offered a closer look at the game in June 2022. It shared a new trailer looking at Aionios and the monsters living there. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will come to the Nintendo Switch on July 29, 2022. The Special Edition pre-orders were supposed to open on June 8, 2022 in North America. However, issues with the My Nintendo Store left some people unable to place orders.

In Persona 3, a dog named Koromaru eventually joins the party. Now, at the Persona 25th FES in Tokorozawa Sakuratown in Saitama, Japan features concept art of the character. While the final version is a Shiba Inu, a tweet from the official Japanese Twitter account showed how he could have looked as a Dalmatian. The account noted the image is one of over 80 Shigenori Soejima pieces in the event exhibit. Like the final version of Koromaru, it also is shown wielding a knife. It also is wearing some clothing.

More new anime series have come out of Netflix's Geeked Week event. Alongside Uncle From Another World and a new slate of Junji Ito adaptations comes a new trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The anime series based on CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 game was also accompanied by an entirely original animated series from Wit Studio: Moonrise. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is produced by anime Studio Trigger, which animated Kill la Kill, Promare, and BNA: Brand New Animal. The series premieres in September 2022 and will run for ten episodes. A standalone story not dependent on having played Cyberpunk 2077 or the original tabletop RPG, it focuses on the saga of David, a Streetkid living in Night City. Check out the trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4ztgjvfU60 The trailer shows off the characters and sights of Night City, as well as spotlighting David and his companion Lucy, a young woman with her own cybernetic augmentations. In the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime series, she's shown with monowire whip arm implants, which also show up in the game.
CD Projekt Red posted a much more detailed featurette about Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on the official Cyberpunk 2077 Youtube channel. The featurette shows the pair interacting with the Maelstrom, a Night City gang characterized by extreme levels of cybernetic augmentation. Several Maelstrom members have their entire orbital areas replaced with mechanical eyes and have mantis blades implanted in their arms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxapZWv4pNs Besides the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime, another new series is on the way to Netflix from Wit Studio, which animated Bubble, Ranking of Kings, Vinland Saga, and Attack on Titan's first few seasons, and is co-producing Spy x Family with Cloverworks. It's called Moonrise. It was announced last year and involves Mardock Scramble author Tow Ubukata. Netflix tweeted a poster and promised that the series would explore "the vast hardships of exploring outer space." Info on the Japanese Netflix Anime Twitter account revealed that Masashi Koizuka is attached as director. He worked on seasons 2 and 3 of Attack on Titan. https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1534679166951510017 The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime will appear on Netflix worldwide in September 2022.

U-Treasure has released a Pokemon diamond in the shape of a Poke Ball. The cut is a round brilliant, but it has more than twice as many facets as usual. A normal round brilliant cut has 58 facets. However, the U-Treasure Poke Ball diamond has 143. The diamond will cost around 313,500 JPY, which is approximately $2,339. [Thanks, PR Times!] The U-Treasure Poke Ball engagement diamond will be available from June 9, 2022. You can also see it in the U-Treasure concept store in Ikebukuro. As mentioned earlier, the diamond has more facets than the typical round brilliant cut. The more facets a diamond has, the more light it reflects. The number of cuts creates the Poke Ball's distinctive shape, including the line in the middle where it opens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfaMKA3T2ho According to U-Treasure, there is a symbolic meaning for why this gem looks like a Poke Ball. Just like how the basic Poke Ball is with you at the beginning of your Pokemon journey, this is meant to signify the start of a new adventure with your spouse. As this is simply a diamond, you will need to purchase the ring separately. For example, you can choose this diamond for the Pikachu solitaire ring U-Treasure released in October 2021. The U-Treasure Poke Ball engagement diamond is available online, and U-Treasure offers international shipping.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, June 9, 2022 1:15 PM  It's that time of the year when big leaks start popping up all over the internet. The first of many is an exciting one for PC gamers. On the official PlayStation website, a trailer was released early announcing The Last of Us Part 1, an upcoming remake. Even better is that this The Last of Us remake is coming to PC. The trailer mostly just shows off some iconic parts of the original game released back in 2013. Although this time around, Joel and Ellie look better than ever thanks to the remake's massively revamped visuals. As expected, this remake is coming to PlayStation 5, but the confirmation of an additional PC release is exciting. And this isn't speculation either. At the end of the trailer, it says "Also in development for PC." Announcements don't get more clear than that. We also have a possible release date. The trailer states that The Last of Us Part 1 is coming out on September 2 of this year. However, this doesn't necessarily ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, June 9, 2022 1:00 PM  Titan Forge Games has announced a new crossover is coming to Smite. This time around Smite is teaming up with RuneScape and Old School RuneScape. The announcement was confirmed in a new trailer with the ever-iconic "Sea Shanty 2" playing in the background. An exact release date was not provided, but we know that this crossover is expected sometime in November. Further details have not been confirmed as of yet. However, in an accompanying tweet, the Smite developer says it "can't wait to share more with [us] down the road." So you can expect more details about what the crossover will look like closer to release. Regardless, we can take an educated guess based on Smite's past crossovers. It has previously worked with RWBY, Avatar, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Stranger Things, Transformers, and Rambo. These past collaborations included a mix of cosmetic skins and playable characters.

If Among Us needed a breath of fresh air, this is it. The trailer shows off many of the new tasks reworked for virtual reality, such as the infamous Medbay Scan or Oxygen Room sabotage. Meanwhile, other players are off running from impostors, communicating with each other along the way. One of the key features of the new Among Us VR is official proximity chat support, so you can hear the impostor breathing down your neck as you run to press the Emergency Meeting button.
