Kotaku Wednesday, September 28, 2022 1:25 PM  An image found on the backend of the Xbox online store seems to reveal that Ubisoft is gearing up to launch a "Game Of The Year Upgrade Pass" for Far Cry 6. That's…fine, I guess, but it raises the question: Which site out there thought it was the best game of 2021 and awarded it such an accolade? |

PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 1:55 PM  FIFA 23 TOTW 2 contains some exceptional early-game cards, as the inclusion of a 91-rated Salah means that he's now competing with the highest-rated players in the football game. It comes after a strong initial Team of the Week, improving on the defensive side massively while giving those lucky enough to pack a forward some intense firepower up top. The poster boys of TOTW 2 are also backed up with some excellent mid-range cards. Akanji looks to be an excellent addition to any Premier League team; his 80 pace should be more than enough to keep up with any striker at this early point in the game. Eriksen, too, while not exactly a speed-merchant, has enough ability on the ball to split defences in two. RELATED LINKS: FIFA 23 career mode guide, FIFA 23 ratings, FIFA 23 Icons |

PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 12:18 PM  The WoW WotLK Death Knight class is one of the MMORPG's most mysterious, so if you're looking to dive into Wrath Classic as one of these undead warriors you'll need a rundown of the best talents, abilities, and leveling options. Picking your class in World of Warcraft completely dictates how the game will play out for you. With unique racial backstories, abilities, and traits, selecting a class that suits your playstyle is an essential part of your WoW adventure. Given that Wrath of the Lich King Classic is the next expansion to get the World of Warcraft Classic lick of paint, you'll likely be wanting to dive in as one of Arthas' Death Knights; a collection of powerful undead warriors who have been pulled from the beyond to serve the Lich King's abominable regime. Making their first appearance in WotLK, now is the perfect time to relive this chapter of the WoW saga as the class it was literally made for.

PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 12:50 PM  As a hybrid MMORPG and RTS game, Foxhole has chosen for itself a unique set of challenges. Perhaps the biggest of these is the question of getting players to run the logistics side of a massive war - how do you make it fun and interesting to do the 'boring' work of producing and transporting the gear that the frontline soldiers need to keep fighting? Surprisingly, Foxhole seems to pull that off, and the massive Inferno Update that arrives alongside its departure from Early Access on September 28 makes the logistics game even more compelling. |
PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 12:14 PM  Genshin Impact banners rotate every few weeks, and we always know what to expect thanks to regular updates from Hoyoverse. The developer of the anime game always keeps its fans in the loop with regular twitter posts and livestreams, so you can plan where you want to spend your hard-earned Primogems. With a two to three-week turnaround for banners, the roster of Genshin Impact characters is always changing, and the current 3.1 update brings three brand-new Teyvat residents to draw for. Every limited-time character banner - or Event Wish - contains a five-star character, and three four-star characters with increased drop rates. There's also a Weapon banner - Epitome Invocation - which runs alongside each character banner and changes weapons every update.

PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 12:08 PM  If you're seeking to unlock the Altar of Mirages in Genshin Impact, you might find you have a surprising degree of trouble locating it first. Buried beneath the sands of the Hypostyle Desert, the Altar of Mirages is a one-time domain that requires a few additional steps to unlock than is typical of the domains scattered throughout Hoyoverse's expansive open world game. However, despite how difficult it is to reach, the rewards available once you unlock the Altar of Mirages in Genshin Impact are certainly worthwhile. You can expect to receive Dendro Sigils, which can be offered to the Vanarana tree for rare equipment and currencies for wishing on Genshin Impact banners. The Sunken Years, a four-star Genshin Impact artifact from the Gilded Dreams set, is also included in the Behind the Illusory Curtain domain challenge's loot table. But before you can get your mitts on all of that, here's how to unlock the Altar of Mirages domain.

PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 1:49 PM  FIFA 23 OTW cards are special, dynamic versions of a player's gold card that upgrades over the course of a season, depending on how they perform in real life. A player is only eligible for a One To Watch special card if they have recently transferred to a new club. OTW marks the beginning of the football game's special events and signals the start of the game cycle. These cards can be mainstays in your team depending on their real life performances as they can receive upgrades if the player features in the Team of the Week, or if they earn a Man of the Match card. This is different from players in the FIFA 23 Heroes or Icons promotions, as their rating cannot be upgraded. Here's the current batch of FIFA 23 OTW players that will be available in packs on September 30. RELATED LINKS: FIFA 23 career mode guide, FIFA 23 ratings, FIFA 23 Icons |
PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 11:55 AM  Unsure of how to get past the Genshin Impact clearance message? The Genshin Impact 3.1 update introduces the sandy region known as the Great Red Sand. This location is made up of three distinct points of interest: Land of Upper Setekh, Land of Lower Setekh, and Hypostyle Desert. Once you make your way into the ruins, certain devices may greet you with the following message: "You do not have enough clearance". The reason why you're receiving this message is because you haven't unlocked the Scarlet Sand Slate device. You need this device to explore the ruins hidden in the desert - fortunately, you can pick this up during one of the early quest chains. There's a chance you may have stumbled upon this message without completing any quests, in this case you need to head to Aaru Village to begin the quest chain.

PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 11:58 AM  Want to know more about the upcoming Genshin Impact events? A new version of Genshin Impact arrives every six weeks, complete with new characters, quests, and events. It's difficult to keep track of which events are currently running and if there are any new ones coming soon, so here's a schedule for all current and upcoming Genshin Impact events. There are usually a number of Genshin Impact events running simultaneously, and they aren't just in-game events. When a new Genshin Impact character joins the game, the devs launch a web event at the same time - players learn about the latest characters through an interactive story told through a web browser. The rewards for completing different events range from in-game items like primogems and mora, to real life prizes like mouse mats and plushies. Just like the Genshin Impact banners, most events are only available for a limited time, so it's worth participating as soon as you can. New events are usually added to Genshin Impact after an update, but it's worth keeping an eye out on this page as the devs do like to surprise the community.

While often seen as a secondary mode to Ultimate Team, the football game single-player mode has had a slight facelift this year, with plenty of quality of life improvements to hopefully bring some players back into the fold. The focus this year is very much on useful additions rather than a major overhaul, including tweaks to both Player and Manager careers, as well as new teams and leagues to play with.

PCGamesN Wednesday, September 28, 2022 11:40 AM  What are the best horror games on PC? Scary games tend to turn traditional action concepts on their heads and force you to run and hide from your enemies. They leave you feeling vulnerable rather than empowered, and more than most, they are the gaming experiences that haunt you long after you play. Of course, there is a lot more to the best horror games than jump scares and gore, too. So while we have included a few obvious picks like Outlast and Amnesia, you can also expect to find games that use different tactics to raise your heartbeat and get your palms sweating, whether that's atmosphere and careful pacing, or unpredictable multiplayer antics like you'll find in Phasmophobia.

While Electronic Arts have kept painfully schtum about a new Sims game, there is reason to believe that is all about to change, and that a Sims 5 release date could be near. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, September 28, 2022 10:00 AM  It's been a hot minute since we last gathered round the RPS Time Capsule vault (thanks, Gamescom), but at long last we have returned with another cracking year of PC games to preserve: 2011. In hindsight, it's a bit of an interesting year for Time Capsuling purposes, as we're now getting to the point where games from this era are getting their own remakes and remasters, or fancier, super duper director's cut special editions. We've included the original 2011 release of one of these games in this month's Time Capsule, but there's another notable exception we've decided to save for further down the line. I mean, seriously, would you really recommend vanilla Skyrim from 2011 over 2016's Special Edition? |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, September 28, 2022 10:00 AM  There's a definition of "pure" that's proscriptive; a dogmatic adherence to surface details and strict rituals. I'm genuinely not thinking of any specific game, but many 'retro' inspired games fall into this way of thinking, and many more fans cut a good one down because of it. Itorah, however, feels pure in the sense of capturing the essence, the heart of a good retro platformer, not just going through the motions to technically qualify for an arbitrary category. Aeons ago, it would have ported comfortably to your GameBoys and gramophones, and probably look just as pretty and feel just as good in motion, judging by the talented art direction on show here. |

These chips will stick to the hybrid Performance core/Efficiency core design introduced by the 12th Gen Alder Lake range – probably wisely, given that includes some of the best gaming CPUs ever – but ups the E-core counts, L2 cache capacities and clock speeds. Raptor Lake will go on sale on October 20th, a few weeks after the just-launched AMD Ryzen 7000 series. The showcase also included a few key details on the Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition, the top-ranking graphics card in the long-delayed Arc Alchemist lineup of gaming GPUs. This will also launch next month, on October 12th, and cost $329. Honestly, part of me was wondering if we'll ever see the day, but yes: there really will be an Intel graphics card on the market.

During Aniplex's Online Fest which took place on September 23, 2022, Aniplex uploaded a new trailer for Berserk: The Golden Age Memorial Edition. As the title implies, this is a remade version of Berserk: The Golden Age, which originally had film adaptations. Kendo Kobayashi, who voices Bazuso, confirmed in a presentation at Online Fest that this version will add new scenes that were absent from the films. You can watch the trailer for Berserk: The Golden Age Memorial Edition here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QkMrXodGQQ The original The Golden Age movies aired around ten years ago, from 2012 to 2013. The "Memorial" part of the anime is not just to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the movies. It is also to honor the late Kentaro Miura, who is the creator of the Berserk manga. He passed away in 2021 from an acute aortic dissection. Hiroaki Iwanaga, Takahiro Sakurai, Toa Yukinari, and Yuki Kaji will all reprise their roles as Guts, Griffith, Casca, and Judeau, respectively. The ending song will be "Wish" by Mika Nakashima. Nakashima has previously performed theme songs for Mobile Suit Gundam Seed and Darling in the FranXX. The Golden Age covers the titular Golden Age arc from the Berserk manga. It focuses on lone mercenary Guts and his time in the Band of the Hawk. Griffith is the charismatic leader, and he becomes Guts's friend. Guts works with them and starts to fall in love with fellow commander Casca. However, Griffith's ambitions end up causing serious problems for them all. Berserk: The Golden Age Memorial Edition will start airing on October 1, 2022 in Japan, and it will also be available on Crunchyroll.

It will have a re-imagined score that is different from the version you can hear in the game. The Hollywood Chamber Orchestra will perform the music, with Eímear Noone as the conductor. Here is the trailer for Genshin Concert 2022. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwaZ-uRJdRM The concert will be around 75 minutes long. Genshin Impact has always used traditional instruments and real-life inspirations in its soundtracks. For example, the music in Inazuma uses the koto and shamisen. HOYO-MiX and Shiro Sagisu have worked with folk musicians and other musical artists to create contemporary re-imaginations of the game's tracks. Genshin Concert 2022 will air on the Genshin Impact YouTube channel for free on October 2, 2022 from 12 PM UTC. That would convert to 5 AM PDT/8 AM EDT.

The Trails of Cold Steel series character Altina Orion will have a new dakimakura cover based on an official fan poll. Fuji Dakimakura has opened pre-orders for the body pillow cover that will be available at 13,800 yen (~$95). The game series' publisher Nihon Falcom is also supervising the character designs on the cover. This is not the first time Altina has received an official dakimakura. Falcom and Fuji have previously worked together to produce the character's first pillow cover in 2017. However, the design was entirely based on Trails of Cold Steel III without any fan input. The companies held a poll asking fans about their favorite attire for Altina Orion from May 31 to June 7, 2022. The top two choices, which will appear in the new dakimakura, were the wedding party dress from Trails of Cold Steel IV and the black rabbit costume from Trails of Cold Steel II. Pre-orders for the new Altina Orion dakimakura cover will remain open until November 8, 2022. All items will be made to order, and Fuji Dakimakura will ship them in December 2022. The company has stated that this item is only available to order exclusively in Japan. Fuji Dakimakura has also shared an uncolored sample of the new pillow cover modeled after Altina Orion. [gallery columns="1" ids="936405" link="file"] Trails of Cold Steel series protagonist Rean Schwarzer received similar treatment in the past. Falcom and Fuji Dakimakura held a poll in December 2021. The protagonist's attires from Trails of Cold Steel II and III won the poll, and the companies made a new dakimakura design based on the results. They released the pillow covers in Japan in June 2022 with a single one-off production period. The entire tetralogy of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel RPG series is available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. A new anime adaptation based on the franchise, subtitled Northern War, will appear in 2023 with a different cast of characters from North Ambria.

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis will have new crossover content from the Overlord anime series. Sega revealed the collaboration at the September 2022 NGS Headline program. Players of the new PSO2 online game will be able to obtain avatar parts to replicate popular Overlord characters, such as Albedo and Ainz Ooal Gown. Sega did not specify the launch window for the new crossover content. However, the company had previously shared a roadmap that includes a plan to launch the PSO2: New Genesis collaboration Scratch with an anime franchise—which fits the description for Overlord—in November 2022.
In the preceding month, it will release a Scratch Ticket lineup based on Melty Blood: Type Lumina as its first external game franchise crossover. Avatar parts and stamps based on the fighting game's characters, with a focus on the four main Tsukihime characters—Shiki Tohno, Akiha Tohno, Arcueid Brunestud, and Ciel—will be available for a limited time from October 5, 2022.
Sega has been launching a new wave of crossover content additions from other franchises following the first anniversary of PSO2: New Genesis. The VTuber group Hololive Production provided the first-ever collaboration Scratch for the successor to Phantasy Star Online 2. Avatar parts modeled after Shirakami Fubuki, Ninomae Ina'nis, and Holostars' Kageyama Shien were obtainable for four weeks from August 24 to September 21, 2022. While the original PSO2 also had a plethora of crossovers, the new collaborations have better graphics that conform to the more recent character models in New Genesis. In the same NGS Headline program, Sega also recorded over 10 million player accounts registered in the Phantasy Star Online 2 series. This number combines the accounts made for the original 2012 online game and the 2021 entry New Genesis on both the Japanese and Global servers. The company will prepare celebrations for the milestone while working on a major update that will add the fourth region, Stia, in December 2022. Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available worldwide on PC and PlayStation 4. The online game is also playable on Nintendo Switch in Japan through a cloud version, as well as Xbox One and Xbox Series X for the global edition.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, September 28, 2022 12:30 PM  It has never been a better time to be a fan of Arc System Works. The developer known mostly for the Guilty Gear series has flourished in recent years. Between developing titles for other IPs, like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and a new entry in their own flagship franchise, the company is now one of the premier fighting game developers along with Capcom and Bandai Namco. Before this, though, the franchise that held the company together after Guilty Gear's almost ten year hiatus was Blazblue. However, the director of Blazblue, Toshimichi Mori, has announced his departure from Arc System Works in a message posted to Twitter. In it her thanks the Arc Systems staff and fans for years of support. Mori first joined Arc System Works in 2003 an dworked on Guilty Gear X. Since then, he has spearheaded the Blazblue franchise.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, September 28, 2022 11:45 AM  Valve has given us the dates of the next three Steam sales. Kicking off the list of seasonal sales is the Steam Autumn Sale, which begins on November 22 and ends a week later on November 29. Steam users won't have to wait long for the second sale either, with the Winter Sale running from December 22 to January 5. The third sale is brand new to Steam, as Valve introduces the Spring Sale. From 2023 onward, the Spring Sale replaces the existing Lunar New Year Sale. While the Lunar New Year Sale typically started in January, the Spring Sale won't get underway until March. More specifically, it will run from March 16 to March 23. Seasonal sales are being introduced to better space out the major Steam sales. Previously, all of these sales took place over the course of just a few months, which Valve believes wasn't ideal for consumers. Spacing out the sales more should give customers a better opportunity to buy the games they want at a more suitable time. Be wary, de... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, September 28, 2022 10:45 AM  Embark Studios has announced a new first-person shooter called The Finals. It is a free-to-play shooter than focuses on fast-paced team-oriented PvP. The reveal of The Finals was made through a flashy trailer posted on the game's official YouTube channel. A quick watch of the pre-alpha gameplay trailer will probably give FPS fans déjà vu. As you can likely tell, The Finals shares some common features with EA's signature Battlefield franchise. It even offers spectacular map destruction, which has always been a staple of Battlefield. The similarities aren't a coincidence, as Embark Studios is made up of ex-DICE employees including former Chief Design Officer Patrick Soderland. The timing for Embark Studios couldn't be better. Right now, Battlefield fans are more disgruntled than ever after Battlefield 2042 failed to deliver on promises. There aren't many direct competitors that satisfy that Battlefield itch, so there's definitely room for a ne... |
