Stop me if you've heard this story before…A YouTube channel that featured music, covers, or remixes of classic songs from popular Nintendo games has been forced to remove content after being contacted by Nintendo's army of lawyers. Well, it's happening again. A new channel now claims to be the latest casualty of…

Morio Kishimoto, longtime Sonic Team dev and director of Sonic Frontiers, recently did his best to clarify what Sega means when it hypes up the game's "open zone" mechanics. But his explanation seems to confirm the phrase is just a trumped-up marketing term rather than some sort of indication that Frontiers is…

Halo is getting a wave of DLC, but not for Halo Infinite. Rather than a proper narrative expansion for 343's latest first-person shooter, the longtime sci-fi series is instead getting…a duo of tie-ins. One's for Fall Guys, Mediatonic's platformer royale. The other's for Microsoft Flight Sim, Microsoft's flight sim.…

Earlier this year, Capcom officially unveiled Exoprimal, a new Anthem-like online shooter featuring loads of dinosaurs. That dino-filled trailer also featured a woman with red hair, which seemed to be a nod or even a connection to Dino Crisis 1 and 2 lead Regina. Was this new Exoprimal game connected to Dino Crisis?…

     The new Final Fantasy XIV free login event wants you back in Eorzea

Just when you thought you were out, the latest FFXIV free login event is here to drag you back into Eorzea. The free login campaign is meant to bring lapsed subscribers back into the MMO game's fold, and, as you'd expect from the name, it costs you nothing – for a (very) limited time, at least. The latest FFXIV free login campaign went live early on June 15 and runs until June 30 at 7:59 a.m. PDT/10:59 a.m. EDT/3:59 p.m. BST, but you only actually get four days of free service. Those four days start once you log in, so if you're planning on taking advantage of the event, make sure you can get the most out of it.

     Lost Ark maintenance makes up for queue times with reward extensions

The Lost Ark maintenance for June 16 is shaping up to be a round of general fixes and not the long-awaited June update, but seeing as there's not actually much June left to go, it does at least give us a fairly solid idea of when to expect the next infusion of classes, raids, and more. Smilegate posted a brief update on the MMO game's official forums outlining what to expect and what's coming to the game once the servers go back online. The latest scheduled maintenance for Lost Ark begins June 16 at 3 a.m. EST/12 a.m. PST/8 a.m. BST and will last for four hours.

     New Stardew Valley mods adds mass production down on the farm

A new Stardew Valley mod aims to make life on the farm a bit easier and more productive. The Solid Foundations mod is less of a traditional mod and more of a framework that other creators can add to, tweaking the life game's buildings and production in subtle, but significant ways. The basic idea is simple. Solid Foundation adds the option for custom interiors, item production based on rules you make, building skins, and more, and it integrates these functions smoothly into Stardew itself as items and services you can purchase at Robin's or from the Wizard.

     The Genshin Impact soundtrack used to sound a lot like NieR

The main Genshin Impact soundtrack theme, Dream Aria, used to sound quite different in the action RPG's early days. Prominent Genshin leaker Ubatcha  reportedly found a version of the song present in several of the game's pre-release builds that contained lyrics. They posted it on Reddit and YouTube, though as with all leaks from the game, the pre-release theme is technically unofficial. The lyrics can't be translated, though, since it seems HoYoMix composer Yu Peng Chen opted to use a made-up language for the lyrics, similar to what we hear in NieR Automata and NieR Replicant's so-called "Chaos Language" – strings of words inspired by different existing languages but with no real meaning.

     How to play the Overwatch 2 beta

Want to know how to play the Overwatch 2 beta? The second phase of the PvP beta is almost here, giving select players access to a brand new Overwatch 2 map, hero, and a chance to play the FPS game on consoles for the first time. Junker Queen is the latest Overwatch 2 hero to be revealed so far. Not much is known about the Queen of Junkertown's abilities, but we do know that she's the current ruler and champion of Junkertown's infamous Scrapyard.

If you were selected to participate in the first Overwatch 2 PvP beta, that doesn't necessarily mean you have access to the latest event. We highly recommend signing up on June 16 to maximise your entry chances. Before you sign up though, it's worth checking out the Overwatch 2 beta system requirements to ensure that you can play the beta on your PC. You will also need a Battle.net account in good standing to be eligible for the beta.

     Microsoft Internet Explorer finally retires after 26 years

Internet Explorer finally hangs up its hat, as today marks the browser's last day in the Windows office. Once it leaves, its duties will be handed off to Microsoft Edge, the bright-eyed browser new start that comes packaged with Windows 11, but the change should only affect PCs that use older versions of Windows

To combat compatibility, Microsoft Edge will feature an Internet Explorer mode, which can be enabled in the browser's settings. However, Statcounter figures suggest it'll matter to less than 2% of internet users, as most people use Google Chrome as their daily internet driver. At the moment, 67% of internet devices worldwide use Chrome to surf the web, while just over 10% use Edge.

In a way, Internet Explorer checked out of the browser game a long time ago, especially since it's not included with Windows 11. Yet, if you've been using a gaming PC or laptop for a while, the program likely served portal to the world wide web on at least one of your previous machines.

     League of Legends patch 12.12 notes – Ashen Knight, Snow Moon skins

The League of Legends patch 12.12 notes are now hitting the Public Beta Environment (PBE) for fans to view. While LoL patch 12.11 is live now, thanks to the new update we already have an idea of what Riot Games is bringing to its popular MOBA game next – and it's a little lighter than recent patches, so far.

After the introduction in LoL update 12.11 of the brand new champion Bel'Veth, the Empress of the Void it seems Riot Games is going a little easier with patch 12.12 - as the main focus of the version on the public test build are the new Snow Moon skins.

Despite the last update appropriately featuring a number of appropriate summer-themed skins for several characters, 12.12 adds ice-themed skins for Caitlyn, Illaoi, and Kayn, which all add new visual effects, sound effects, and animations. Still in the world of skins, we've also got a new Ashen Knight variation for Pantheon - the first new one in this series since patch 12.6.

     Exoprimal interview – cloudy with a chance of velociraptors

Capcom's co-op survival game meets hero shooter Exoprimal was a real highlight of PlayStation's State of Play 2022 conference in March, returning again for the recent Capcom Showcase. It's not Dino Crisis, as some of the more eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out on the night. But what it is seems to be visiting from a different, better parallel universe, where the game industry is just more fun.

In Exoprimal, raptors teem out of black holes in the sky like water from a tap, then ravage a downtown block. Responding to the dino alarm that this triggers, a squad of muscular operatives in exosuits exchanges fist-bumps and readies up. Honestly, why hasn't this been the premise of 20 previous videogames? I consider it a great failing of the medium that it hasn't.

But there's ambition in Exoprimal that extends beyond obvious parallels to Left 4 Dead and Overwatch 2. Its PvPvE format, where two teams of five players compete against each other and the dinosaur horde, sounds equal parts exhilarating and confusing on paper. Game director Takuro Hiraoka can shed some light on how a match plays out, though.

DDR5 RAM arrived late last year, but it's taken until now to see the first semi-reasonable prices for a kit of next-generation memory. CCL are currently selling a kit of Crucial DDR5-4800 for £89.94, more than £30 cheaper than the same kit is on Amazon.

This is the first time I've seen a DDR5 kit of any description under £100, so if you're considering a 12th-gen Intel (or AMD Ryzen 7000) build, then this might be just what you need.

No TMNT: Shredder's Revenge DLC Plans Yet

Depending on how things go, there could be a chance of seeing TMNT: Shredder's Revenge DLC. In an IGN interview with Tribute Games Narrative Designer Yannick Belzil, it initially seemed like there would be no alternate costumes. The suggestion seemed that the developer would prefer to make another playable character. However, after the fact Dotemu CEO and Executive Producer Cyrille Imbert took to Twitter to confirm an add-on wouldn't be impossible. [Thanks, PC Invasion!]

Here's Imbert's statement. It highlighted that whether or not TMNT: Shredder's Revenge DLC would appear would depend on how well the game performs.

It wouldn't be unheard of for a Dotemu game to receive DLC after launch. For example, Streets of Rage 4 ended up eventually getting a Mr. X Nightmare add-on. That made Ethel, Max, and Shiva playable and introduced a Survival mode.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on June 16, 2022. Siliconera's review is live now.

Square Enix opened pre-registration for its Octopath Traveler: Champions Of The Continent mobile game. Folks worldwide can now sign up to play on Android or Apple iOS devices. There's still no exact release date for the game yet. However, this reveal appeared alongside a new trailer and Summer 2022 release window. Apple's storefront also noted it will appear on July, 27, 2022

To pre-register for Octopath Traveler: Champions Of The Continent, folks will need to go through the official storefronts for their mobile devices. The pages are live on both the App Store and Google Play. Apple's page notes someone will need 1.1GB free to download and play it.

As for the new trailer, it shows official art and gameplay. People can see some character scenes first. After that, it looks at some of its turn-based battles. A bit of its soundtrack plays while quick glimpses of everything are shown.

We first learned it would appear outside Japan in February 2022. A closed beta was also held later that same month.

Exoprimal Director Confirms It 'Has No Relationship to Dino Crisis'

While Exoprimal is a Capcom game filled with dinosaurs, it has no ties to Dino Crisis. In a new interview with IGN, Director Takuro Hiraoka talked about the game and its reptilian foes. The dinosaurs were chosen as opponents for an entirely different reason. [Thanks, IGN!]

First, Hiraoka immediately noted that Exoprimal has no ties to Dino Crisis. To be specific, he told IGN that it is "its own unique thing."

After that, Hiraoka explained why there are dinosaurs as the enemies in Exoprimal. Here's the full statement.

Once we had established our gameplay concept, dinosaurs were the first idea that came up for the enemies you would face. I thought that it would be fun to experience the threat of history's most fearsome predators, and that if there were hundreds or thousands of them it would be an intensity that hadn't been seen before. Once we had that idea, we felt that the only way to face the overwhelming strength and numbers of dinosaurs would be with futuristic technology rather than modern weapons.

People will get to go hands-on with Exoprimal fairly soon. Capcom announced a closed network test in June 2022. The first one will be held on PCs in the United States and Canada on July 10, 2022. There will then be two additional sessions for people worldwide on July 25, 2022 and August 7, 2022.

Exoprimal will come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam in 2023.

Honkai: Star Rail Second Closed Beta Survey Appears

Now that the Honkai: Star Rail second closed beta is done, there's a survey for folks to take. However, even though it is about the experience, you don't have to have played to take it. Rather, it mostly acts about social media usage and the pre-registration process.

For example, the survey starts out by asking which social media platforms someone uses. After that, it asks if people are aware of the Honkai: Star Rail social media accounts. It asks someone to choose what sort of tone they'd like from updates on the official accounts.

It's only after someone gets through the social media questions that HoYoVerse begins asking about the Honkai: Star Rail second closed beta. It first asks about the pre-registration process. It also asks why someone might have been interested in the game. After all that, it asks for someone's demographic information before the survey ends.

Honkai: Star Rail is in development for the PC and mobile devices.

     Shredder's Revenge Review 1Growing up, Turtles in Time was easily one of my favorite games. I played it again and again on the SNES. I played it in the arcade when I could. And I even repeatedly played the sort-of inferior Sega Genesis semi-port, The Hyperstone Heist. Over the years, it has remained an important part of my gaming memories. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge succeeds because it's perfectly aware of that legacy. The game is undoubtedly light on content considering its price tag. But getting what amounts to a full-fledged Turtles in Time sequel — that actually improves upon its predecessor — makes the game a welcome treat. Storywise, Shredder's Revenge doesn't try and go far beyond Konami's TMNT beat 'em ups. Shredder and his lackeys are threatening to give the Statue of Liberty an evil makeover. The Turtles, along with Splinter and April O'Neil, set out to stop him. Naturally, this sees them repeatedly run into major names from...

     Digimon Survive Release Date Trailer PcDigimon Survive is set for a July 29 release date for PC, and today's trailer showed us a bit more about its story and characters. In the latest trailer, we're introduced to the latest group of "DigiDestined," school-aged kids who find themselves trapped in an alternate world filled with monsters. As it is with Digimon, some monsters are more friendly than others. But it is the unfriendly ones that they need to watch out for. The release date trailer for Digimon Survive introduces the characters and offers a healthy helping of gameplay. As one of the kids isekai'd to this Digiworld, you use the power of technology to "uncover anomalies" tied to a mystery. You can also use it to check out the world map. Battles are done via turn-based strategy. You place your Digimon on a grid, moving them toward enemies. Stopping on occasion to heal HP is also part of the gameplay.   The tone of the game is certainly not what I'd expect from a proper...

     Fallout 5 releaseThe last week has been pretty crazy when it comes to gaming news. There's certainly a lot to look forward to in the next year, but some developers have revealed plans for even further in the future. This is the case for Bethesda Game Studios, since Todd Howard has now confirmed the release order of its next two titles, which include Fallout 5. Todd Howard spoke to IGN and discussed the studio's next big title, Starfield. Even after Bethesda's in-depth showcase for Starfield, there were still plenty of questions about the upcoming space-faring adventure. IGN also asked Howard about the plans for what comes after Starfield. He went on to say "Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 is in pre-production and, you know, we're going to be doing Fallout 5 after that, so our slate's pretty full going forward for a while." The answer he gave wasn't very specific, but it did confirm that we can expect Fallout 5 to release after The Elder Scrolls 6.   The Elder Scrolls 6...

     Tmnt Shredder's Revenge DlcOne of the most joyous surprises to come out of the joyous surprise known as Streets of Rage 4 was the eventual DLC. The fourth Streets game was already near perfect with its cast of characters, graphics, music, and crunchy action. However, publisher Dotemu eventually released the excellent Mr. X Nightmare, bringing even more characters and a new mode. With the publisher's upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, the question to ask now is: "Will there be more after it's launched?" Well, no, but certainly not never. Dotemu has stated that while it has no plans for TMNT: Shredder's Revenge DLC, that depends on the "game's reception." In a report by IGN, the game's narrative designer took some time to chat Turtles. Yannick Belzil, in an episode of Xbox Expansion Pass, said that developer Tribute Games wasn't going to do anything like release alternate costumes for the characters. Belzil mentions a flowing tre...
