Kotaku Wednesday, July 6, 2022 6:01 PM  The coolest part of Halo 2 never made it into Halo 2. If you're at all a fan of the series, you know exactly what I'm talking about: the "Earthcity" demo, shown off during Microsoft's E3 presentation in 2003. That level never made it into the full release of Halo 2, but nearly two decades later, a playable build is in… |

PCGamesN Wednesday, July 6, 2022 7:25 PM  A new Sims 4 mod takes the sting out of death, or at least, a certain kind of death. The Murphy Bed No Fail mod from Teknikah does what it says on the label and keeps the Murphy Bed from murdering you on a bad night. Or a good one. Or anytime, really. Unlike some other Murphy Bed mods in the life sim that reduce the chance of dying when you try repairing the bed, this one just removes the possibility entirely by getting rid of the possibility that you might fail while trying to fix the bed.

PCGamesN Wednesday, July 6, 2022 6:44 PM  Bethesda and Arkane offered a bit more insight into what we can expect from the Redfall map when the co-op vampire hunting game launches in 2023. Arkane studio director Harvey Smith said in a new blog post that the team wanted to start with something familiar and recognizable and build from there, creating a greater sense of unease and disquiet when the things we're used to seeing are corrupted and twisted by Redfall's vampires. |
PCGamesN Wednesday, July 6, 2022 3:30 PM  The first post-launch Diablo Immortal update is here, bringing with it a new Helliquary boss and a whole new battle pass. The new Diablo Immortal battle pass goes live July 7 at 3 a.m. server time and features several new reward tracks, including a free track and two paid ones. The MMO game's first paid battle pass track, dubbed "Empowered," includes all free rank rewards, an exclusive Empowered reward track, and two new cosmetics – Bloodsworn Weapon, unlocked at rank one, and Bloodsworn Amor at rank 40. Then there's the Collector's Empowered Pass, which gives you everything from the Empowered pass, along with a Bloodsworn Avatar Frame, Portal Cosmetic, and an automatic 10-rank boost.

PCGamesN Wednesday, July 6, 2022 2:01 PM  If there's one thing Genshin Impact players care about, it's Primogems, the blessings from heaven that lets you pull for new characters. They're naturally the most sought-after items in the game, and while HoYoVerse gives you plenty of chances to earn them, it often seems like there's never enough. So, of course, when a moderator on the HoYoLAB site creates an infographic detailing how many Primogems players can earn in Version 2.8, people pay attention.

There is now a release date and price point for Valkyrie Elysium, according to Wario64. It will come out on September 29, 2022 for the PS4 and PS5, and there is also a trailer on YouTube to watch. The Steam version for Windows PC will come out on November 11, 2022. Those who wish to pre-order the game can do so from the various storefronts. Check out the trailer below. It confirms the release date, which was leaked earlier in the week after it was published prematurely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXG0xBnY_zo Valkyrie Elysium will have support in twelve languages, with English and Japanese audio. The digital standard edition will cost $59.99 USD and the digital deluxe version will cost $74.99 USD. The digital deluxe version will, along with the game, come with the "Svartaljr" equipment, as well as Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. Lenneth is a PSP port of the original Valkyrie Profile, released in 2006. Lenneth was ported to mobile platforms in 2018, and appears on PS4 and PS5 with the launch of Valkyrie Elysium. Those who don't want Valkyrie Elysium and only want Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth can also purchase it separately. Square Enix first showed off Valkyrie Elysium at the March 2022 State of Play. It is the newest entry in the Valkyrie Profile series. Unlike prior turn-based games in the series, it will be an action RPG with the new Soul Chain mechanic. However, the idea of summoning Einherjar remains the same. Valkyrie Elysium will come out on September 29, 2022 for the PS4 and PS5. The Windows PC version will come out on November 11, 2022.

Manga and doujinshi chain Toranoana will shut down five locations in Japan from August 31, 2022. These stores are the Akihabara A, Shinjuku, Chiba, Nanba A, and Umeda stores. The announcement also states that plans to open a Toranoana branch in Nagoya will not proceed. The company had planned on opening it in 2021. [Thanks, Dankanemitsu!] According to the announcement, the reason behind the store closures is due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2020, the pandemic and quarantine measures intended to contain its spread greatly affected the physical locations of Toranoana, with the difficulties continuing into the present. These problems have affected other businesses and industries around the world. Toranoana apologizes for this, noting that the company's "lack of effort" is to blame for the situation. However, since Akihabara has been Toranoana's center of operations since the beginning, the company wishes to return to it one day. Though the actual store itself will cease operation in August 2022, Toranoana will continue its plans to create a gallery. Artists will be able to display illustrations in the gallery, as well as look at other people's works. Toranoana is a chain store that sells manga-related items, and is also a location for doujin (indie) artists to sell physical copies of their books outside of conventions. While the online storefronts are still open, international customers cannot purchase from the website directly. This means that for some people, visiting a Toranoana store when they go to Japan may be their only way to access certain products. Five locations of Toranoana will close down in Japan in August 31, 2022. The online storefronts will remain open.

Square Enix and Luminous Productions' action-RPG Forspoken will not release as planned. An announcement on the official Forspoken Twitter account revealed that the game is delayed to early 2023. This is the second time Forspoken has been delayed. Previously, Forspoken was set to go on sale on May 24, 2022, and was pushed back to October 11, 2022. The new Forspoken release date is now January 24, 2023 Check out the tweet announcing the delay below. https://twitter.com/Forspoken/status/1544675140780392453 The announcement does not give a specific reason for the Forspoken release date delay. It does state that the "strategic decision" comes as a result of discussions with "key partners". The team clarified that "all game elements" of Forspoken are complete, with development in its "final polishing phase". The team thanked fans for their support and patience. It will share more information about Forspoken in Summer 2022. Games like Forspoken can have their release date delayed for a variety of reasons. These range from unforeseen issues in development to an overly crowded initial release window. Even external circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or global events can force a team to rethink the best time for their game to debut. Forspoken is in development. Its current release date is January 24, 2023. It will launch on PS5 and PC. The post Forspoken Release Delayed to January 2023 appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 6, 2022 8:15 PM  Every year is predictable when it comes to major game release timelines. We get some new hits in the spring, and occasional drops in the summer. The prime focus of the gaming industry is always on hyping new projects up in the fall and then releasing before the holiday season sales rush. As you'd imagine, that's the exact cadence Ubisoft's on in 2022, and an upcoming Forward games showcase event is now scheduled for September. You can tune in on September 10 at 3PM ET to see what the publisher has in store for us in the near future. That's an awfully long wait though, so we've compiled what we know about existing projects to give you an idea of what's to come. We'll cover the anticipated showcases, along with some other things that have been on the backburner, but could appear at the Ubisoft Forward September 2022 event. The main course Ubisoft has a few projects for PC that clearly state "coming soon" on its website. These g... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 6, 2022 6:32 PM  Riot Games has mastered the the free-to-play format with League of Legends by selling enticing skins, emotes, and other cosmetics for players to flaunt collection prowess. It's a model that has made League of Legends one of the top games on the market, and players in North America have enjoyed steady prices on the currency used to purchase these skins. However, as prices rise pretty much everywhere, Riot Games is following suit by raising the price of Riot Points for North America in both League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. This increase in Riot Points price will start on August 19 for both League of Legends and TFT. Riot Points and TFT Coin Prices will "increase in most Riot regions to account for worldwide inflation, currency fluctuations, maintaining fair prices between and within regions, consistency across our products, and other associated cost increases." That's a lot of reasons to hike up the price of your in-game currency, but it seems unsurprising... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 6, 2022 5:15 PM  Most World War II hex-and-chit tactics games are easier than Advanced Squad Leader. It really should have a good video game adaptation. We're probably never getting one, but Second Front is a good alternative. Unlike its many rivals, Second Front is in actual 3D, and I finally got my mitts on the playtest version for impressions. Second Front doesn't have a plot I could talk about in the second paragraph. What it does have is more than 200 vehicles and infantry to represent the forces of the US, Nazi Germany, and the USSR at any point of the war. Building your own front The five (technically six) missions that the test version of Second Front comes with are a proof of that. The two American missions are both set post-Normandy (desert and Pacific warfare will probably be DLCs), but the German ones range from 1941 to 1944. Second Front's preview version comes with both map and scenario editor. The sixth mission is the one you download from the workshop, and it's... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 6, 2022 4:15 PM  Last month's announcement of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion came as a surprise for many fans. The original Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII never left the PlayStation Portable, but this remake will finally allow players to witness the exploits of protagonist Zack Fair on modern consoles in some form. Considering the degree to which Final Fantasy VII Remake altered the original experience, fans will likely want to know what kind of changes they should expect. Fortunately, a recent tweet posted on the official Final Fantasy VII account shared a few of the additions and quality-of-life improvements coming to Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, with mention of a new battle system. As one would expect, these quality-of-life improvements include "improved camera and character movements" as well as "optimized UI." Additionally, the remake will have brand-new music arrangements courtesy of Takeharu Ishimoto, the composer of the original game. Scenes t... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, July 6, 2022 3:00 PM  CD Projekt Red has at last unveiled its single-player Gwent game. Once called "Project Golden Nekker," Gwent: Rogue Mage is a standalone roguelike card game — and it's set to release tomorrow. The announcement came through IGN, which brought new details to light. According to director Vladimir Tortsov, Gwent: Rogue Mage was greenlit due to players wanting a "more PVE experience from Gwent." Rogue Mage is set to do just that, using familiar cards from The Witcher 3 and Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. According to the report, Gwent: Rogue Mage combines cards and mechanics from both aforementioned games to create something that feels a bit different. You start off with a dozen cards in your deck, but can gain more as you play. Exploring the campaign's map allows you to build up a powerful deck to take on tough challenges — and even a final boss. The gameplay sounds something akin to Inscription. Maps are randomly generated, offering bat... |

Initially scheduled for a spring 2022 release, Forspoken has been delayed a second time to January of 2023. The game's most recent release date was set to October 11, after getting a five-month delay. At the time, developer Luminous Productions stated that "getting it right" was the reason for the delay. Forspoken now has a new PC release date of January 24, 2023. Today's message isn't much different than what we heard before. While the company says "game elements are now complete," Forspoken has been delayed to ensure final polish. Also, for "strategic" reasons. The time should allow the developer to grind down all the edges, plus it means Forspoken can avoid some serious AAA competition — in other words. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set to release on October 28. It makes sense that publisher Square Enix would want to vault over that particular gaming goliath. "We would like to thank you for your continued s... 
Horror games were traditionally considered a niche genre. They rose to prominence in the late '90s thanks to franchises like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but they began to lose steam in the generations after that. Indie horror titles kept the scene alive, but after the release of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in 2017, the AAA horror game space has been seeing a wonderful resurgence on PC. Resident Evil 7 proved that the genre can succeed at the highest levels of production. The knock-on effect has been a confident surge of new horror games from other developers and publishers that are no longer afraid to go all in. More exciting horror games are coming out than ever before, and we can feel confident that this golden age of horror is set to continue on PC thanks to the following games. Scorn Scorn has been on the radar of PC horror game fans for a long time, and it's not hard to understand why. Somber and atmospheric, Scorn and invokes a feeling of pure dread simply b... 
A party has started on the island with the launch of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. There's a new biome, new points of interest, the continuation of crossovers, and much more. Epic Games has kept the season fresh and, most recently, began Ripsaw Launcher week. Now, the latest Fortnite update has added the Indiana Jones skin and Charge submachine gun, and its taken an item out of the vault. Every season, the Fortnite battle pass contains a skin that releases a few weeks after the rest of the cosmetics. Fans who have been patiently been waiting to unlock the Indiana Jones skin can now do so. To begin unlocking all of the cosmetics, you will have to work through two pages of challenges. Completing the first page of challenges unlocks the base Indiana Jones skin, and you can then start working on unlocking the Temple Explorer Indiana Jones skin on page two.

More evidence points to a recommitment by EA to the Battlefield franchise after the fallout surrounding Battlefield 2042. This latest development relates to what's on the horizon, and longtime fans may find reason to rejoice at the news. EA opened up a new DICE studio in Seattle, picking up senior talent including Halo co-founder Marcus Lehto. That team is now hiring for more positions, and the job description clearly states that a single-player campaign experience for Battlefield is in the works. The job description is specifically for a design director, which comes with many responsibilities. One of the core objectives is to "embrace the core tenets of the Battlefield franchise and make sure they are woven through all layers of a masterfully designed single player campaign." The design director will "manage the design team and design vision of a new Battlefield campaign." Reset and reload This is a noticeable shift away from the mindset of previou... 
It's almost easy to forget that version 2.8 of Genshin Impact will release next week after an endless barrage of leaks — and the fact that version 2.7 is still ongoing. While fans cross their arms waiting for Sumeru, we still have a full update to get through. Fortunately, it looks like version 2.8 is full of fun and exciting adventures for Genshin Impact players, including a new character and a temporary islands for travelers to explore on July 13. Fans of last year's summer event will remember the Golden Apple Archipelago, a timed set of islands that was the perfect location to explore. This area was only available during one update, but it will be brought back this year in a reworked state. With completely new zones, puzzles, and stories, it's basically unrecognizable from last year's version. Regardless, it seems like HoYoverse is setting up a yearly tradition for a limited-time, summer-themed island. Kicking it on the beach The Golden Apple Arc...
