     Fortnite 'It's Complicated' copyright lawsuit dismissed

Fortnite developer Epic has spent a lot of time in court defending itself from accusations of copyright infringement over dance moves available to buy in the battle royale game. A US judge has dismissed the latest suit, this one from a professional choreographer who said that the Fortnite 'It's Complicated' emote was a rip-off of the dance routine he created for a Charlie Puth song.

     Destiny 2 PvP exploit sees skill-based matchmaking completely negated

A Destiny 2 PvP exploit has marred what has been a great start to Season 18. The rag-tag crew at the centre of the MMO's story and new game mode, Ketchcrash, reminiscent of the old Battlefield Titan Assault, gives lapsed players a reason to jump back into the fray. Those who prefer PvP game modes, however, might run into some issues if they're on the lower end of the ability spectrum, as some players have found a workaround to the newly implemented skill-based matchmaking in quick-play games.

     League of Legends Ultimate Spellbook is hiding a massive secret

League of Legends Ultimate Spellbook can be a fun alternative to a regular Summoner's Rift match; the premise of the MOBA's for-fun game mode is that instead of having two Summoner Spells, one is replaced with a different champion ultimate ability. It can lead to some interesting synergies and some ridiculous plays.

Sakamata Chloe UMISEA Hololive

Cover has officially revealed that VTuber Sakamata Chloe will be the fifth and newest member of the Hololive music unit UMISEA. Sakamata Chloe debuted alongside fellow unit members in their latest single, "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu". A music video is available to watch on YouTube, and the single is available on various music streaming platforms. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

UMISEA is a music group consisting of several talents from Hololive and Hololive EN. Its members include Gawr Gura, Houshou Marine, Ninomae Ina'nis, Minato Aqua, and the newly-joined Sakamata Chloe. As the group's name suggests, each unit member shares some connection to the ocean. In Sakamata Chloe's case, her clothing and mascot resemble an orca. Her fans are also typically compared to zookeepers.

Aside from her work with Hololive UMISEA, Sakamata Chloe also has her own solo music career. Earlier this month, she released her own single "Jinsei Reset Button Pochi". In addition to two other original songs, she occasionally hosts karaoke streams and has frequently mentioned her passion for music.

The release of group's latest single, "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu", also comes with a new music video. The music video features the five members sailing on a boat, after which it crashes and leaves Marine, Aqua, and Chloe stranded on an island.

You can check out the music video for "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu" below:

UMISEA debuted with its first song, "Domination! All the World Is an Ocean" back in September 2021. The group has also frequently appeared in collaboration streams as well as their own short animation series.

You can listen to "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu" via iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify.

netflix bioshock

On Friday the Netflix Twitter account announced more details about its live-action feature film adaptation of the Bioshock franchise. Though it notes "franchise," which implies that it will cover more than just the first game, the teaser picture shows Rapture, the setting of the first two games. It is likely that even if the movie focuses on more than the first Bioshock, it will not touch on events in Bioshock Infinite.

https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1562864632708050945?t=mL_RLHa9d7Yu-xihKeE2Aw&s=19

Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) will direct the movie, while Michael Green (Logan, Blade Runner 2049) will write the script. It is unknown who will star in the film, or any of the other staff. More information on that, as well as the release date, will appear in the future.

This is not the first venture Netflix has made in adapting video games for live-action film or TV. Just recently, it announced that it would cancel the Resident Evil show. The reason is because it did not perform as they expected. This is also the same reason why Netflix axed Cowboy Bebop after one season. Netflix is working on live-action adaptations of One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho.

Bioshock first came out in 2007, and it is a first-person shooter set in the underwater city of Rapture. Founded in the 1940s by libertarian industrialist Andrew Ryan, Rapture was to be a capitalist utopia free from the restrictions of state control. The citizens of Rapture used ADAM, a substance harvested from a mysterious sea slug, to create plasmids, gene modification devices that bestowed fantastic superpowers. When Jack, the player character, arrives in Rapture after a plane crash in 1960, it is already after its isolated society has collapsed. Players will explore the city, encountering its twisted denizens and picking up audio logs to learn more about what happened.

The Bioshock Netflix live-action film is in production and more information on it will appear in the near future.

spy x family season 2

We now have a concrete date for when to expect Spy x Family season 2: October 1, 2022. Though Crunchyroll had announced in the past that the show would resume in the Fall 2022 anime season, the exact date was unclear. There is also a new trailer to show off the main visual for the second season.

Animator Kazuaki Shimada drew the main visual for the second season of Spy x Family. He has also worked on the show as a director, as well as the character designer. The main visual shows Anya in the forefront and striking a peace sign. Bond, the dog who appeared briefly at the end of the first season, is just behind her. All of the other main characters, as well as new one who will appear in season 2, are on the picture as well.

You can see the trailer for the new key visual here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_FRSErTKGo

Other shows aside from Spy x Family that will return in the Fall 2022 anime season include Mob Psycho 100, Golden Kamuy, and My Hero Academia. This will also be the season when the Chainsaw Man anime will start airing.

Spy x Family Season 2 will air on October 1, 2022 as part of the Fall 2022 line-up. It will be available on Crunchyroll with the rest of the show.

Savage Game Studios

Sony announced that it is acquiring mobile developer Savage Game Studios. Compared to recent game industry acquisitions like Sony's purchase of Destiny 2 developer Bungie and Microsoft's buy of US-based publisher Activision Blizzard, this merger is more low-profile. Savage Game Studios was founded in 2020 and has not yet launched a game. In 2021 it raised funding for to open in Helsinki, Finland and Berlin, Germany, to work on a "AAA mobile live service action game". The blog post trumpeting the announcement said that it's still too early to say more about that project, but work on it continues.

As for the role of Savage Game Studios in the new PlayStation Studios ecosystem, founder and CEO Michail Katkoff said positive things about Sony's respect for Savage's creative vision. Hermen Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios, promised that the addition of Savage to the roster would be "similarly additive" to its efforts to release games on PS4, PS5, PS VR 2, and PC. Savage will join a newly created Mobile Division at PlayStation Studios, operating independently from the console development arm. It'll focus on "innovative, on-the-go experiences based on new and existing PlayStation IP."

In other words, Savage Game Studios could be behind, among other things, a future mobile-focused spin-off or port of an existing PlayStation IP. Since axing its original PlayStation Mobile service in 2015, PlayStation has been pretty much absent from mobile gaming. Perhaps with this and future acquisitions, a God of War, Horizon, or Uncharted mobile game could be revealed in the next few years.

honkai herrscher of human ego

HoYoVerse has released a trailer for the Herrscher of Human: Ego battlesuit that will appear in Honkai Impact 3rd for Elysia. The video is available in Chinese, but with subtitles in multiple languages. The video is over eight minutes long and mostly focuses on how the development team approached designing the outfit. There are some spoilers for Honkai Imapct 3rd in regards to Elysia.

Part of the process involved deciding what concepts would go into the battlesuit, as the team wanted to give Elysia all of the things that made humanity beautiful. This would then turn her into a symbol of beauty as well. The Herrscher of Human: Ego suit will represent what Elysia's true self is, as opposed to when she was restrained.

After she enters Herrscher form, the design represents her divinity through elements such as flowers in her eyes. Her veil also looks like wings, and she moves like how a mermaid swims. According to the design team, her animations will look like what happened was not a battle, but rather a dance.

The full trailer for the Herrscher of Human: Ego battlesuit is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QvbmPkqv8I

Elysia first appeared in the Elysian Realm game mode in 2021. She was also the star of the "Because of You" Honkai Impact anime short. The development team reiterates multiple times that it wishes to capture Elysia's beauty and share it with the world.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available on mobile devices and Windows PC, and the S-rank battlesuit Herrscher of Human: Ego will debut in Version 6.0.
