     All FIFA 23 Heroes list

Excited to discover who made it onto the FIFA 23 Heroes list? FUT Heroes are a special group of players that left a lasting impression on their league with their extraordinary talents. These players share a number of similarities with FIFA 23 Icons, however, there are plenty of key differences that you need to be aware of before signing your own Hero.

FIFA 23 Heroes tend to feature lower stats compared to Icons, and they don't have the same level of freedom that Icon cards do when it comes to slotting into teams. You need to pair Heroes up with players from their respective league or nation in order to obtain max chemistry, whereas Icons can fit into any team without facing restrictions. Here's a list of confirmed players joining the FIFA 23 Heroes list.

     Fortnite 50v50 mode returning to battle royale, with a twist

A Fortnite mode that a lot of players probably miss is coming back to allow you to wreak havoc in huge 50v50 groups. After all, while having squads of players fighting for survival in the battle royale game might be fun, it's not quite as grandiose as having two gigantic teams battling it out for supremacy.

     League of Legends RP is more expensive, especially in UK

League of Legends RP (Riot Points, for those uninitiated) are the MOBA's lifeblood - at least from a commercial standpoint. They can be purchased by players in order to buy cosmetics, battle passes, and even extra pages to store your in-game runes.

Each year, the prices of these are reviewed per region and adjusted according to inflation and other things that nobody really understands. This year is a biggie; prices across the board are rising significantly and the 'bonus RP' you get when buying bigger bundles is now gone.

     Tower of Fantasy password list: all electronic lock codes

Looking for every Tower of Fantasy password to open the electronic locks found throughout Aida? Despite what its name suggests, Hotta Studio's free-to-play game is set in a technological sci-fi world where you'll be hard pressed to find a conventional lock to pick. Instead, locks are sealed using a four-digit password.

     Tower of Fantasy constellation locations: smart telescope solutions

Struggling to find a particular Tower of Fantasy constellation or wondering how to solve the puzzle contained within? Hotta Studio's open-world game includes plenty of secrets and puzzles to encourage exploration, but some may be more difficult to spot than others. There are eleven smart telescopes scattered throughout the Tower of Fantasy map, identified by the tell-tale glint of their scope, and each one contains an unfinished constellation puzzle.

Solving a Tower of Fantasy constellation smart telescope puzzle will net you a Black Nucleus, one of several different currencies available to spend on weapon banners, so they're well worth tracking down if you happen to be in the area. As you might expect, smart telescopes are often situated in elevated areas such as cliff-tops, so be prepared to spend some time traversing the environment. Thankfully, this is where Tower of Fantasy vehicles really come in handy. If you're on a mission to scoop up as much loot as possible, check out our guide to the Tower of Fantasy battle pass, as well as our list of all Tower of Fantasy codes that are currently available to redeem.

     Genshin Impact Traveler materials – all ascension materials

Want to know all the Genshin Impact Traveler ascension materials needed to fully level up? The original player character surely has a place in all our hearts, even once we've met Amber, earned Xiangling, and pulled Zhongli from a Genshin Impact banner. And while the Traveler may not be at the top of our Genshin Impact tier list, they're still a solid choice in any team thanks to their ability to change their elemental affinity.

The Traveler is able to choose from any of the available elements in Genshin Impact, by interacting with the relative Statue of the Seven. As the only character with this trait, the Traveler is quite unique, and so there's reason to want to level them up as much as possible. To do so, just like any other Genshin Impact character, you need to ascend them with specific ascension materials.

     The best clicker games on PC in 2022

What are the best clicker games on PC? There are some interesting connotations that come along with clicker games. Also known as 'idle' or 'incremental' games, the name betrays certain expectations: click your mouse, get a tiny reward, and repeat until you can make the process more efficient and lucrative.

In most cases, there's a snowball effect that accompanies your progress that makes your clicks more productive, hence the "incremental" moniker. There are also many games that operate automatically even when you're not playing, which justifies the "idle" nickname. So, what are the best clicker games on PC?

Clicker games manage to distil high-complexity concepts down into a series of single clicks and automation. It's an interesting concept that is ripe for study, and really makes you think about what makes a game, a game. The entire concept of idle games is a fascinating experiment in how to squeeze the most game out of a single click of the mouse. In doing so these incremental games manage to make sprawling role-playing games digestible for those who can only spare a few minutes each day for gaming.

     Genshin Impact new characters in the 2.8 update and beyond

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 Genshin Impact 3.0. There are also leaks and datamined information concerning new faces that may appear further down the line. While none of this official until Hoyoverse says otherwise, here is a round-up of all of the current rumours and speculation.

     GTA 6 release date rumours, news, and speculation

Looking for a roundup of GTA 6 release date speculation? Considering it's been nearly nine years since GTA V was released and the sixth game is barely more than rumours at this point, it's hard to say. The rule of thumb used to be that Rockstar released new entries to the GTA franchise every four or five years - but by that logic GTA 6 should have released in late 2017, and we'd currently be playing GTA 7.

The GTA 6 release date is still a couple of years away, according to a report from Bloomberg. The previous Grand Theft Auto game was almost inconceivably massive and entertaining, with sales numbers off the charts, and player numbers remain impressive. Rockstar has little need to hurry. While you wait, we've rounded up all the latest GTA 6 rumours in one place.

     Gotham Knights release date solidified as game goes gold

The Gotham Knights release date is seemingly safe from delays, as WB Montreal announced the upcoming multiplayer game has officially gone gold. That means the team has printed the master copy from which all other copies of Gotham Knights will be made, and in almost every case, a game going gold means it won't be delayed. That in itself is quite an achievement, in 2022, the year of delays. Hogwarts Legacy, Marvel's Midnight Suns, and the unannounced Assassin's Creed Rift have all been delayed within a month or two of each other, as developers adjust to the challenges of working from home and other pandemic-related disruptions.

Earlier this week, the official Game Pass Twitter account was playing silly buggers with their profile pic, stating that "sometimes we just like a good landscape picture". Immediately, internet sleuths deduced that the landscape in question looked suspiciously like Death Stranding, leading many to believe it was a teaser for Kojima's hiking postal sim appearing on the subscription service. And yep, they were right on the money, with confirmation arriving today that the BB Boys will be pulling into Game Pass next week, on August 23rd.

Where FromSoftware's offerings weave a mysterious tale, wonderful level design, and meaningful combat into a tight package, Thymesia – like so many other Soulslikes - knows it must excel at one thing to compensate for the others. I've spent some time with the game's early levels and it perfectly captures what I'd consider to be a 'classical' Soulslike: a game that's heavily focused on The Combat Bit above all else.

Does the game's combat rule? Yes, without a doubt. But will I continue playing? I'm not so sure. From what I've sampled, one strong pillar might not be enough to hold my attention for much longer.

Golf games seem to be having a bit of a renaissance right now. From their beginnings on the fairway fringes of Flash-game forums, we now have been blessed with a handful of fun indie golf sims. We've seen the bizarre buffoonery of What The Golf?, the high-speed, eye-popping courses of Golf With Your Friends, and Secret Mode recently completely threw the clubs out the window and replaced them with highspeed motorcars in Turbo Golf Racing.

It's safe to say that golfing games are always full of shenanigans and Cursed To Golf is no different. Playing as a golfer who has been cast into Golf Purgatory, you need to golf your way back to the land of the living, completing all eighteen holes in one roguelike run. It's a fun premise and the game bursts with silliness and personality, but unfortunately Cursed To Golf fails to iron out certain roguelike frustrations. After mistiming a shot in the game's final area and being sent back to the beginning (ending an excruciating four-hour run time), I truly did feel cursed.

Sega Genesis Mini 2 Games

Sega unveiled the full lineup of Sega Genesis Mini 2 games. The microconsole, small enough to fit in a palm and looking just like the iconic gaming machine of yore, will have a lineup of 60 titles stored internally. The titles range from classic Genesis games to Sega CD cinematic games like Night Trap. The console goes on sale on October 27, 2022 in North America and in Europe (where it'll be known as the Mega Drive Mini 2).

Soul Hackers 2 Opening

Soul Hackers 2 launches in just under a week, and Atlus wants potential players to get a taste of its opening minutes. To that end, it uploaded the Soul Hackers 2 opening to its official YouTube account.

Check out the Soul Hackers 2 opening at this link.

The opening features Arrow going through his morning routine. Other scenes from the early parts of the game, featuring Ringo, Figue, and the rest of the party, play out alongside the theme song.

Besides the Soul Hackers 2 opening, Atlus West also issued streaming guidelines for players showing the game. Companies occasionally place such rules into practice to prevent streamers and Let's Players from spoiling too much of a game's story for their viewers. The guidelines vary from game to game and company to company. Enforcement also varies. Spike Chunsoft's guidelines for Digimon Survive amounted to a polite request. Atlus, meanwhile, set off a backlash due to having streaming guidelines perceived as overly strict for Persona 5.

For the most part, Atlus' streaming guidelines for Soul Hackers 2 are fairly loose. Unlike the guidelines issued to reviewers, there are not spoiler-based rules in place. A request to include spoiler warnings in video titles and descriptions, and to "be mindful of the content you post" is all.

The main restrictions apply to streaming the game before release day on August 26, 2022. Similar restrictions apply to uploading background music of streaming for the purpose of distributing Soul Hackers 2 music. Additional rules discourage requiring payment to watch the stream or archive, as well as not to use Soul Hackers 2 streams to slander others.

Soul Hackers 2 releases on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on August 26, 2022. Check out Siliconera's official review.
