There's a Japanese arcade game called Fishing Spirits that in 2019 was ported to the Switch, then released in the West as Ace Angler. It now has a sequel, and it is not your average fishing game.

Last year, a game was released on the Nintendo Switch in Japan called Crayon Shin-chan: Ora to Hakase no Natsuyasumi (Crayon Shin-chan: My Summer Vacation With The Professor). A crossover between legendary manga Crayon Shin-chan and the long-running My Summer Vacation series of video games, it looked slow and cruisy…

A new law recently passed in Quebec, Canada designed to force immigrants to learn and use French in a short amount of time has many game developers in the area worried.

     Destiny 2 weekly reset time, changes, and schedule

A fresh Destiny 2 weekly reset is upon us. As a premier live service game, one of the main ways that Bungie keeps players coming back to Destiny 2 is with its weekly resets. These typically offer a content refresh across the space game's various planets, raids, and dungeons, along with minor bug fixes and changes to address outstanding player concerns. The reset often includes new seasonal mission content or updates to existing in-game activities for players who own the seasonal content. And, with ongoing weekly updates to the Nightfall, the Crucible playlist, campaign missions, in-game activities and bounties, there's more to track than ever.

The Destiny 2 weekly reset takes place at the same time each week. There's often some server downtime around the reset, so you should take note of that if you're unable to log into the game at precisely that time. Once the reset begins, you'll have a full week to explore all the changes before Bungie rolls out another set of changes on the same day and time the following week.

Here, we're offering Destiny 2 players a recap of all the weekly reset changes so you know what shiny new activities to prioritise while grinding for loot.

     Destiny 2: what is the Nightfall weapon this week?

Want to know what this week's Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon is? Each week you've got a chance at a different weapon for completing Nightfall Strikes, and ever since Season of the Lost, fan-favourite legacy weapons from the original Destiny have been added to the rotation. Two new weapons were introduced into the pool in Season of the Risen, so it's more important than ever to know in advance the Nightfall weapon schedule.

In case you don't know what the Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon means, Nightfall: The Ordeal is a playlist available in the Vanguard menu, alongside the basic Strike playlist. Each week, a different Strike is chosen as the Nightfall, and offered in five escalating difficulties, with harder enemies, challenging modifiers, and enemy power levels cranking up.

The coveted Nightfall weapons have a chance to drop from any Nightfall Strike difficulty, but it's far more likely at higher levels. Your best bet for farming each week's Nightfall weapon is to set the Strike to Master difficulty, according to YouTuber Aztecross. You should also note that there's no automatic matchmaking above Hero difficulty, however, so you'll need to get a squad together.

     Finally, a Skyrim mod where you can get a good hot dog

Being a Dragonborn is hungry work, and one new Skyrim mod has the perfect solution. Sausages of Solitude from hrodeberht1 and bella adds a hot dog stand to the Solitude marketplace, and it's not just any sausage on sale. The mod adds an entire selection of hot dogs of differing types, a variety of buns, unique toppings, and incredibly detailed textures. There's the standard wiener and a tube steak, along with the more inventively named Beefstick and our particular favorite, the Pork Sword.

     New Elden Ring Torrent fixes a crucial issue with the ghostly horse

Elden Ring's Torrent is a brave and stalwart steed, the one who picks you up after death and decides you should be Melina's knight in Tarnished armor, but valor only counts for so much in the action RPG – and, in the late game, not very much at that. Challenges in Leyndell and beyond often prove too much for the trusty Torrent, but a new Elden Ring mod aims to fix that. Modder Admiral30 created the Invincible Torrent mod to address the problem of Torrent's HP and keep horseback combat viable throughout the game.

     The Escape from Tarkov wipe is nigh (probably)

The next Escape from Tarkov wipe appears to have arrived - or at least, it will be soon, at the time of this writing. The hardcore FPS survival game will be going offline for maintenance shortly, and while the official announcement for patch 0.12.12.30 doesn't actually mention a wipe, players are convinced this patch will reset all progress and send everyone back to the starting line.

Escape from Tarkov will be going offline June 29 at midnight PDT / 3am EDT / 8am BST, and will be down for about five hours, Battlestate Games has announced. That timeframe may be extended "if required," the announcement reads, and Tarkov will not be accessible during this period.

     Cyberpunk 2077 QA studio disputes claims it misled CDPR

Earlier this week, YouTube channel Upper Echelon Gamers published a video wherein a whistleblower claimed that Cyberpunk 2077's bugs were the result of various practices at Quantic Labs, a studio hired by CD Projekt Red to oversee quality assurance on its 2020 sci-fi RPG. After being contacted by PCGamesN, Quantic Labs has now issued an official response to the claims, describing some of the statements made in the original video as "incorrect".

Adata's Premium SSD for PS5 might be the most misleadingly titled storage device on the market. Okay, it is a high-spec SSD suitable for the PS5, but it's also a really good value PCIe 4.0 SSD for PCs too. Today, it's down to $185 at Adata's official Ebay store when you use the code FREEDOM15 - an unbelievable price for the level of performance on offer.

That's some $145 below MSRP and way cheaper than similarly-specced 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSDs like the Samsung 980 Pro ($260) or Crucial P5 Plus ($244).

Crunchyroll will handle the global theatrical release of the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie: Scarlet Bond Movie in early 2023. The film will first appear in theaters in Japan in November 2022. It will air in international territories in the next year. In terms of the movie's plot, it will take place after the end of the second season.

According to a Crunchyroll press release, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie: Scarlet Bond will focus on a power called "Queen," as well as a conspiracy surrounding it. Rimuru will partner up with an original movie character named Hiiro, who is a survivor of the Ogre race. There is no news as of yet regarding Hiiro's voice actor in English or in Japanese.

As a reminder, this movie takes place after the second season, and thus may contain spoilers for those who have not finished. Here is the trailer for the movie. It features English subtitles:

     Blanc game river meetingToday's Nintendo Direct came with plenty of interesting announcements for PC gamers to look forward to. Some of these announcements, such as the Sonic Frontiers news, came as no surprise. But others, like the reveal of the new Pac-Man World remake, shook things up in a pleasant way. One other surprise came in the form of Blanc, a co-op adventure game developed by Casus Ludi. This one will definitely appeal to players looking for an emotional, minimalist experience. Those interested in trying out Blanc can do so once it arrives on Steam and the Epic Games Store in February 2023. Blanc's art style immediately sticks out upon first seeing the trailer. Although the game depicts its environments and characters using 3D models, the aesthetic utilizes hand-drawn textures and design elements that make everything pop. Additionally, the visuals boast a monochromatic color scheme that ends up working perfectly for the game's snow-covered environments.   Make it through...

     Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is kind of like a remaster, remake and entirely new game, all at the same time. It takes stages, ideas and other elements from the classic TMNT arcade games and mashes them together with some modern sensibilities. It's like asking the pizzeria to take all the possible toppings and throw them on the pizza, but instead of some hideous gloopy mess that tastes like Master Splinter's backside, you end up with a great pie. Cowabunga, dudes!
