Itch.io, an egalitarian site for hosting, posting, and downloading indie video games, is filled with cum. As a refuge for creative nobodies to harness an audience without worrying about the money, Itch is stuffed with plenty of other things too, like medieval comic books, murder nuns, and cat assets.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that the new Dungeons & Dragons movie looks a lot like a Marvel film. Though I'd argue it has a much more alluring color palette than your standard, often dry, modern comic book adaptation, the latest trailer for the tabletop-based movie otherwise reveals the calculated Hollywood formula…

     How to unlock characters in Multiversus

Curious about how to unlock characters in Multiversus? There are plenty of party brawlers to choose from, but Multiversus boasts an impressive roster, featuring an all-star cast of characters. Leaning heavily on their eclectic stable of IP, Warner Bros has created a fantasy fighting game that borders on the surreal. Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight between Finn the Human and the Iron Giant? Probably not, but you can find the answer by duking it out in Multiversus – alternatively, check out our Multiversus tier list to ensure you'll come out on top.

Experimenting with different characters and their abilities is half the fun, but if you're partial to a particular free-to-play character, you need to learn how to unlock characters in Multiversus before you lose out on the ability to play them. All free-to-play characters in Multiversus operate on a fortnightly rotation; once those two weeks are up, there's currently no telling how long it'll be until you see them again. If you're itching to play a character that's currently out of rotation, you need to unlock them first.

     Nier: Automata secret door is harbouring mods, it transpires

A mysterious Nier: Automata secret door video that has been perplexing the anime game's community has been revealed to the work of mods. The video, which appeared to show protagonist A2 entering a mysterious church area in the Copied City, is viral marketing for a hefty set of fan-designed mod tools that the team showcased in a short Twitch stream.

The developers initially teased the video out under the guise of a random user who had accidentally stumbled across the secret door. While there was certainly speculation that the content could be the result of a mod, the complexity of the room and the scripting involved were beyond what had been seen among the Nier: Automata mod community. This led to hypotheses that perhaps the room was part of viral marketing for the recently-released Switch version of Nier: Automata, for a Drakengard 3 remake, or even for a new game.

This speculation was further fueled by the game's producer Yosuke Saito, who tweeted about the initial video with the simple comment, "Eternal mystery," and followed up suggesting that it was something the game's creator Yoko Taro might do. Yoko Taro himself also referenced the video obliquely, without any specific confirmation or denial as to its nature.

The Meta Quest 2 (formally Oculus Quest 2) is already one of the most popular VR headsets ever made, but it seems that CEO Mark Zuckerberg views its success as a stepping stone to much loftier goals. In fact, he's hoping that the company's efforts to conquer the augmented and virtual reality markets will result in some serious revenue over the next decade.

     Best LMG Warzone: the best LMGs in Season 4 Reloaded

Looking for the best LMG in Warzone? Warzone LMGs are all too often overlooked when it comes to the best Warzone loadouts. It's not hard to see why, either. In general, they take just as long to down enemies as one of the best assault rifles in Warzone, and they have similar rates of fire and ranged effectiveness, too. However, unlike the game's most popular weapons, LMGs are very heavy and come with some of the worst aim down sight speeds, mobility, and 'gun ready' times in the game.

Those stats can make clearing out buildings, re-armouring, and switching weapons very difficult, and we've died countless times simply because we were stuck in the 'gun ready' animation. Thankfully, some of these issues can be fixed with the right attachments, making the best Warzone LMGs surprisingly competitive in the right scenario.

Since the time to kill speed changes in previous Warzone updates, LMGs have fallen out of favour compared to other guns. These weapons can still be viable in the right loadouts, so you should definitely give one of these monstrous weapons a try.

     Civ 6 players come up with the worst religion names

Custom religions in Civilization 6 are the perfect way to inject personality into your expansive, global empires. You get your Great Prophet, you choose your beliefs, and then it comes to picking a symbol and a name. Personally, I'm a pretty humourless Civ player. I like a straight-faced, realistic strategy game as closely modelled on real life as possible. But the Civ 6 fan community is vibrant and varied – and, as it turns out, pretty bad at giving serious names to religions.

     Genshin Impact Sumeru characters officially revealed in 3.0 teaser

A new teaser officially reveals multiple Genshin Impact Sumeru characters set to join the anime game along with the 3.0 release. While several of these characters have been previously rumoured or seen in some of the recent Genshin Impact 3.0 leaks, we now have official confirmation of their existence and appearance.

The 'Prelude to Wisdom' teaser released by Hoyoverse follows the developer-led format of the previous Sumeru previews. While this teaser more generally gives an overview of the culture and civilisation of new locale Sumeru, the most interesting part for most players will likely be the rapid-fire reveal towards the end which gives us a proper look at several new Genshin Impact characters who are likely to be joining the playable roster.

Leading the charge is Tighnari, a Dendro user and Amurta researcher - and the 3.0 character who we've already seen the most about previously. Next, we get a look at silver-haired Alhaitham, who is from the Sumeru Akademiya and meets the Traveller in Port Ormos. Desertfolk mercenary Dehya appears next, dressed in black and red wraps and sporting gold-tipped hair and wolf-like ears.

     Assassin's Creed Valhalla Forgotten Saga launches for free in August

The roguelite Assassin's Creed Valhalla Forgotten Saga DLC is looking great, as Ubisoft shows off more of the new mode coming as a free update on August 2. The Forgotten Saga was announced during the series' 15th anniversary celebrations, and a new video from the RPG game's developer breaks down the nuances of the new expansion.

The DLC marks the first time Assassin's Creed has adopted the roguelite format, where players make repeated attempts to get through a challenging set of encounters. Progress is reset upon death but some persistent upgrades carry over between runs, making each subsequent attempt a little more feasible. Forgotten Saga sees the return of Odin as a playable character, as the god descends into Niflheim - the Viking hell - to go up against the minions of Hel.

Each run, Ubisoft explains, you'll have to make decisions about which path to take. As you cross the bridges between areas, they will collapse, meaning that you cannot backtrack and change your mind about where to go mid-run. You'll find new weapons and gear as you progress through Niflheim - the weapons are randomised with each new run, but your armour persists, so you'll be able to grow increasingly stronger with repeated attempts.

     Multiversus tier list: best characters ranked

Are you looking for a Multiversus tier list? The Warner Bros fighting game is currently in open beta, with many players gaining access to its colourful cast of characters for the first time. Soon, we will know who the most powerful characters are, from DC Superheroes such as Batman and Wonder Woman to Cartoon Network favourites like Finn the Human and Steven Universe. We even have throwback characters from Warner Bros' back catalogue of shows acquired over the years, including Shaggy and Velma from Scooby Doo.

With such an illustrious gathering of fighters, a Multiversus tier list was inevitable. Judging by other competitive multiplayer games, ranking these fighters goes beyond looking at their individual abilities. Multiversus focuses on team-based combat, with each fighter broken down into roles such as Bruiser and Tank. In order to create the definitive Multiversus tier list, we looked at how well each fighter interacts with their partner, in addition to how good they are on their own.

Looking for the best Warzone Kilo 141 loadout? There are a couple of contenders for the title of best assault rifle in Warzone, but few would suggest that the Kilo 141 is worth piling into your best Warzone loadout drop. However, if you pick the right attachments for the job then this maligned AR can perform like one of the best Warzone guns.

The base version of the Kilo 141 is a pretty solid weapon in Warzone, falling just shy of the M4A1 in Warzone in terms of DPS, but outpacing the ever popular Warzone Grau. Use our best Warzone Kilo 141 loadout to drastically improve the AR's recoil control and damage range, turning it into an absolute monster at mid to long-range.

Want to know about new Genshin Impact characters? According to Hoyoverse's original Genshin Impact roadmap - new faces should release with every major update. During each new update there's usually at least one Genshin Impact banner with a minimum of one brand new character. The banners feature characters with increased drop rates, including one five-star character and three four-star characters.

Heizou is the most recent new Genshin Impact character to arrive in the Genshin Impact 2.8 update, and we know that Tighnari, Collei, and Dori are all arriving in a future update.

Forge mode is a staple of modern Halo games and a fan favourite that essentially acts as a content generation engine. With it, players can create their own customised map variants, modes, and more to be shared with the rest of the playerbase, enhancing the fun-factor of multiplayer outside of the competitive scene and official playlists. We're all awaiting the Halo Infinite Forge mode release date with much anticipation.

A hoax? Viral marketing? A mod? If it was a mod, it was far more complex than any so far. Turns out, that's because a group of fans have secretly been making their own mod tools, and plan to release them soon. In the meantime, I've enjoyed pranksters memeing on the mystery by creating secret churches in other games, including Half-Life 2 and Super Mario 64.

resident evil village update

In October 2022, a new accessibility update will go live for Resident Evil Village. This free update will include the choice to toggle subtitle sizes, as well as color and background. Speaker names will also appear in the subtitles when you play the game in story mode, and closed captions will be available.

The final portion of the accessibility update will add a permanent reticle on the screen. The accessibility update will launch at the same time as the Winters' Expansion and Gold Edition. That means it will likely appear in-game around October 28, 2022. The accessibility update will be available for all versions and platforms of Resident Evil Village.

The Gold Edition of Resident Evil Village will be the base game and the contents of the Winters' Expansion. Winters' Expansion will consist of three main parts: third person mode, The Mercenaries Additional Orders, and Shadows of Rose. Chris, Lady Dimitrescu, and Heisenberg will be playable in The Mercenaries with Additional Orders. Meanwhile, Shadows of Rose is a sequel of sorts in which you can play as Ethan's daughter, Rose.

Resident Evil Village is available on the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows PC. It will come out on Macs in late 2022. Resident Evil Village Gold Edition and Winter's Expansion will come out on October 28, 2022, as will the accessibility update.

Nier Automata Church

The NieR fan community has been in an uproar over the last several days, following the saga of a "secret church" area supposedly discovered five years after the game's release. Now the secret of the NieR Automata church has been revealed. As it turns out, it's neither an elaborate hoax, nor a bit of viral marketing for something new to do with NieR. Rather, it's a bit of both. According to its creators, the whole event was a complex, engrossing stunt designed to show off a powerful new set of modding tools.

You can read more about the beginnings of the stunt in this post. But to summarize, an anonymous player going by "sadfutago" began posting videos and screens a never-before-seen church area supposedly found in NieR Automata's Copied City location. Many were left wondering whether the thing was a hoax or actual, newly-discovered content in the game. The case for it being "legitimate" was bolstered by the fact that at the time, NieR Automata modding tools and techniques were widely considered incapable of fashioning entirely new areas as demonstrated in the videos and screenshots posted. Combined with cryptic references to the rest of the NieR franchise, some suggested it was a viral marketing trick to promote the upcoming Switch port of Automata, or even a new NieR game.

Things reached a fever pitch yesterday and today, as more and more elaborate screens and videos from the secret NieR Automata church were shown, referencing titles like Drakengard 3 and showing off assets seemingly imported from that game into NieR Automata's engine. By then some, including veteran modder and "Final Secret" discoverer Lance McDonald, had concluded that this indeed was evidence of a "bleeding-edge" modding project rather than anything official. But without definite confirmation, speculation continued.

The climactic moment came when sadfutago updated their Reddit profile with a link to a Twitch stream, as well as some broken Japanese promising that the stunt was "not an ARG (Alternate Reality Game)" and "not official". Then they went live, broadcasting themselves playing through a lengthy, newly-constructed gameplay sequence, created with a new set of modding tools. The creators of the NieR Automata secret church were users DevolasRevenge, Woeful_Wolf, and RaiderB. The team thanked the community, and apologized for "misleading everyone". According to them, they were going for "a cut content/secret, not ARG" in their construction of the stunt.

NieR Automata Secret Church

The NieR Automata church creators also promised that they would make the tools open-source, so the wider modding community can benefit from a set of tools capable of doing things previously available only to NieR Automata's developers.

In the end, while the saga of the secret church turned out not to be related to anything "official", it did inaugurate a new era in NieR Automata modding, and provided some excitement around a beloved game.

NieR Automata is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. A Nintendo Switch port is due out on October 6, 2022. Those who might want to play content created with the new tools will need the PC version of the game.

genshin impact version 2.8 phase ii

HoYoVerse has released some information on what players can expect for the Phase II of Version 2.8 of Genshin Impact. As a reminder, this will be the final update to the game before the Sumeru region debuts in Version 3.0. Yoimiya will be one of the limited 5-stars available to pull for. Players will also have a higher chance of pulling Yun Jin, Xinyan, and Bennett from this banner.

For those who wish to pull for weapons instead, the weapon banner will feature Thundering Pulse (Bow) and Summit Shaper (Sword) as the exclusive five-stars. There will also be an event story of sorts featuring Yoimiya and Heizou, judging by the official art for the second phase of Summer Fantasia.

https://twitter.com/GenshinImpact/status/1552204643534528513

From August 4 to August 15, the game will run the Reminiscent Regimen event. It will take place in the Golden Apple Archipelago, and players will need to first finish the Summertime Odyssey: I quest. This event will be a time challenge using your Waverider. Prizes include the usual Primogems, Mora, and Hero's Wit experience books.

From August 12 to August 22, Genshin Impact will run the Evermotion Mechanical Painting event. You will need to restore mechanical parts and then combine them; most likely, there will be a puzzle element to this event. You will get a Furnishing alongside the usual Primogems, Weapon Ascension Materials, and Mora.

Genshin Impact is readily available on Windows PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. Version 2.8 Phase II of Genshin Impact will go live on August 2, 2022. Kazuha and Klee will not be available until future re-runs after this date.

FFXIV NA Data Center Expansion

FFXIV producer and director Naoki Yoshida has announced a delay for the planned NA data center expansion. Originally planned for August 2022, Yoshida revealed that the first phase of the expansion will instead start in November 2022. The schedule for the second phase of the expansion will remain unchanged.

Yoshida explains that the main reason for the delay was related to recent semiconductor shortages. Specifically, the company's server vendor had informed Square Enix that it would be unable to deliver the required equipment due to the shortage. While Square Enix had tried to find another solution, it ultimately decided to delay the first phase of the expansion.

The planned data expansion will add a total of eight new worlds for North American players to play in. The newly added worlds will arrive in two phases and will fall under a new logical data center. The first phase will add four worlds, with the second phase adding an additional four worlds. Square Enix expects the second phase of the expansion to roll out sometime in the Spring or Summer of 2023.

Japanese and European data centers received a similar expansion as part of the 6.18 patch, released on July 5, 2022. That update also added data center travel, which allows players to transfer their characters to new servers. However, Square Enix was later forced to suspend data center travel due to congestion.

Final Fantasy XIV is available to play on PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. The first phase of the NA data center expansion will arrive in November 2022. The second phase will arrive in Spring or Summer 2023.

     South Of The Circle Review 1One thing that irks me in narrative games is when you're given only the broadest categories when selecting your character's responses. Think LA Noir, where choosing a certain response could give you far more — or far less — of the emotion you were anticipating. South of the Circle is undoubtedly a fantastically written, absorbing story, but it actually gets the dialogue choices worse. However, it has a striking art style, brimming with memorable moments with events framed in ways that make the game almost akin to digital artwork. Wonderful motion-captured performances seal the deal. South of the Circle is played from the perspective of Peter Hamilton, a Cambridge lecturer who finds himself stranded in Antarctica after his plane goes down. The pilot is injured, so Peter journeys out into the snow to find help. But things are more dire than he realized. These sequences only make up about half the game, however. The other half involves flashbacks dealing with the...
