     Terraria Echo Coating is perfect for making mischief

The new Terraria Echo Coating is one of the most exciting new features introduced in the Terraria 1.4.4 update Labor of Love. While Echo Blocks - a unique type of block that is completely invisible to the eye unless special glasses are equipped - were introduced in the sandbox game's 1.4 update, the introduction of Echo Coating has dramatically increased the potential for mischief making and tricky traps - and the community is wasting no time in getting to work.

     Diablo Immortal clans top leaderboards without even playing

Inactive Diablo Immortal clans are making it into the top ten leaderboards for the Blizzard RPG game without actually playing, pushing active clans out of qualifying spots for the game's end-of-week event, the Diablo Immortal Shadow War and compromising its corresponding Rite of Exile. This has left fans calculating how the system works behind the scenes to create such seemingly odd results.

     The best Hearthstone decks for beginners

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and welcome to the best Hearthstone decks for beginners. Trying out any new game for the first time can be confusing, especially when it asks you to make a deck from cards you don't own yet. Give yourself a little time and practice, and you'll be deckbuilding with the best of them.

Though it definitely helps to have a robust collection of cards, it's not essential to own every legendary card in the game. Your opponent may have an expensive deck, but that doesn't mean they are guaranteed to win. As long as you understand what cards your opponents could have and try to play around them as best you can, you should have no problem climbing the ranked ladder.

Microsoft's official Xbox controllers, whether from the Series or One generations, are an awesome gamepad for PC gaming too. By default though, your options for connecting the controller are Bluetooth (on later models) or a wired USB connection - rather than the low-latency 2.4GHz wireless you get on Xbox consoles, which requires Microsoft's $25 Wireless Adapter for Windows. That adapter is down to $18 at Newegg today, and is well worth picking up while it's discounted.

God of War Ragnarok

God of War: Ragnarok is now in the final stages before its release, according to an update from developer Sony Santa Monica Studio. In a tweet from its official account, Santa Monica Studio announced the milestone with some art and thanks to its development partners. The game is scheduled for release on November 9, 2022 [Thanks, Destructoid!].

In game development parlance, "Going Gold" is a term for when a game is considered ready for publication. Before digital releases, a game's release build had to be burned onto master discs to be sent off and duplicated ahead of delivery to stores prior to release day. The masters were often (though not always) colored gold.

God of War: Ragnarok is the sequel to 2018's God of War, continuing the story of Kratos and his son, Atreus. Set three years after the previous gameRagnarok sees the duo facing down the beginning stages of, well, Ragnarok, the end of the world as prophesized in Norse myth. They'll travel all over the Nine Realms to find a way to stop it, as well as investigate more about Atreus' connection to the Norse gods. Of course, the gods are not too happy with the pair, and will continue to involve the father and son in the violent family drama that is life in the Norse pantheon.

Sony aired a story trailer for the game at its mid-September State of Play broadcast, teasing what's to come when the game lands.

The trailer shows off a visit to Tyr, the Norse's own god of war, as well as some new combat mechanics added for the sequel. Kratos will once again use his Leviathan Axe, and also have access to his old chains, the Blades of Chaos. New "signature moves" will be added to the game's weapon types, with elemental properties and different use cases. Shields have a new parrying mechanic as well. The trailer also teases some of the moments from God of War: Ragnarok, including what looks to be a battle between Kratos and Thor, the god of thunder.

God of War: Ragnarok releases on PS4 and PS5 on November 9, 2022. The previous game is available on PS4 and PC.

PSN Steam account linking

Your battle station could soon become your play station. Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that PSN and Steam account linking is now supported. Interested account holders can perform a "PC Registration" operation on the official PlayStation website.

At the moment, there's not a ton players get out of a Steam and PSN account link. Nixxes Software, the studio that helped port Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered to PC, announced some incentives for PC users willing to make themselves known on the PlayStation ecosystem.

https://twitter.com/NixxesSoftware/status/1578042898418999296

Owners of Marvel's Spider-Man on Steam who use the "Connect to PSN" option newly added to the game gain three minor bonuses. These are an early unlock of the Concussive Blast gadget, an early unlock of the Resilient Suit for Spider-Man, and two skill points for use in unlocking new moves and perks.

As Sony ramps up its catering to the PC audience, mainly with releases of PlayStation Studios' games to PC, fans who choose to link up could see other benefits. Cross-platform progression, special unlocks, or potentially even cross-ownership could be possible. Destiny 2, which is developed and managed by the now Sony-owned Bungie, allows cross-progression across all available platforms.

PSN and Steam account linking is now active. Marvel's Spider-Man is readily available on PS4, PS5, and PC.

NetEase has revealed more details about the upcoming Bungo Stray Dogs crossover event in Identity V. In total, there will be five costumes for Survivors. Four of them will be available in the logic path. Meanwhile, the skin for Dazai will be available to buy with Echoes from the shop. The crossover will run from October 13 to November 13, 2022.

The Bungo Stray Dogs characters who will appear in Identity V are:

  • Osamu Dazai ("Prisoner")
  • Atsushi Nakajima (Mercenary)
  • Doppo Kunikida (Novelist)
  • Akiko Yosano (Doctor)
  • Ranpo Edogawa (Painter)

[gallery columns="5" ids="937020,937021,937022,937023,937024" link="file"]

When pulling from the crossover Essences, you will not get duplicates of any A skins. Aside from skins, you will be able to get exclusive portraits, accessories, and graffitis. There will also be a free version of the Tiger Tail accessory for the Mercenary. You can then upgrade it to either an A or S accessory with tokens. The maximum amount of tokens you can get for free through daily battles is only enough to turn it into an A accessory.

Bungo Stray Dogs is an action/mystery manga series. An anime adaptation premiered in 2016. All of the characters in it are references to famous literary authors, and their superpowers are based on iconic pieces of writing. In early October 2022, Bones released a new piece of key art for the upcoming fourth season of Bungo Stray Dogs. It will start airing in January 2023.

Identity V is readily available on mobile devices and Windows PC, and the Bungo Stray Dogs event will debut on October 13, 2022.
