PCGamesN Tuesday, December 20, 2022 5:55 PM  Destiny 2's Revision Zero exotic quest launched with this week's reset, granting players who own the FPS game's seasonal content access to a new exotic pulse rifle. However, this weapon appears to be related to another in-game mystery, though the community is still working to piece together the bigger puzzle. The new exotic pulse rifle fires shield-piercing ammo, making it strong against Barrer Champions. It's also a relatively high-range weapon. Players need to complete one round of the Destiny 2 season 19 activity, Heist Battleground, to obtain the weapon quest, which is called Operation Seraph's Shield.

The new Overwatch 2 Gingerbreak Bastion legendary skin is available now, and the bundle can be had for the low, low price of one Overwatch coin.

Developer Nippon Ichi Software released a video featuring new gameplay mechanics in the upcoming Disgaea 7. The Dodeka MAX system allows players to turn one of their units into a giant. The Dodeka MAX system allows players to transform one of their units into a gigantic version of itself. This unit fights against the enemy forces from outside the stage, granting them massive range and power. But players ought to be careful, as enemy units can also transform, allowing them to face your transformed unit. This system also introduces "Dobilities," passive abilities that benefit the entire party and can turn the tide of battle. Dodeka MAX was introduced in "Disgaea Private School - Second Term," the second entry in a series of videos delving deeper into the upcoming Disgaea 7. The name of this mechanic originates from a double pun on the Japanese words for "ballista" (do) and "demon" (ma), mixed with the word "deka" and "max," terms utilized to describe gargantuan size. You can watch the video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSQ6YpMwl-Y Disgaea 7 releases in Japan on January 26, 2023 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch. We still don't know when Disgaea 7 is releasing outside of Japan. More information will appear in the future.

Inti Creates announced a release date for its upcoming Grim Guardians: Demon Purge game. A new trailer also debuted alongside the announcement. The gothic horror-inspired game will come out digitally on February 23, 2023 and cost $24.99. Here is the new Grim Guardians: Demon Purge release date trailer. It focuses on showing off the title's gameplay. Additionally, Inti Creates has published numerous screenshots showcasing the game. You can check a few of them out below: [gallery ids="944341,944342,944338,944343,944344,944346" link="file"] Grim Guardians: Demon Purge is a 2D side-scrolling action game with a deep exploration element. It offers unique gameplay by allowing players to switch between its two main characters on the fly and without restrictions. The game follows Shinobu and Maya Kamizono, a pair of demon-hunter sisters. After returning from a hunt one day, they find that their school has been transformed into a demonic castle. It's up to the siblings to find and put a stop to whatever caused the transformation, rescuing the school's missing students along the way. Shinobu offers long-range attacks and higher HP, while Maya is able to deal large amounts of damage quickly but only at close-range. Each of the characters will have situations where they excel, making swapping between them essential. The girls also have an ultimate technique called the Purge Cannon in which they work together to fire a powerful bullet that instantly destroys most demons. This attack can only be unleashed when the Purge Gauge is full. Filling the Purge Gauge happens naturally over time, and gets a boost when players pick up items. Should either Shinobu or Maya run out of HP, the other can revive them. However, this process takes time and requires players to stand over the fallen sister, so rescuing them will take some planning. A Game Over only happens when both siblings go down. Both characters will have several unlockable sub-weapons that are rewarded as players defeat bosses. These can be changed out at any time, though using them will require Weapon Points. Different sub-weapons will enable more bosses to be defeated and grant access to more areas. Several features will be available to let players customize their Grim Guardians: Demon Purge experience. Options include 2 voiceover options (Japanese and English), 3 difficulty styles, and the ability to play cooperatively should a second controller be available. The Grim Guardians: Demon Purge release date is February 23, 2023. It will appear for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam digitally.
