Summer means many things, including pool parties, eating too much ice cream, going out camping, and uh…apparently video game sales? I don't question the companies taking part in the annual summer sales we see across digital stores. Instead, I nod in approval and begin spending money on games I likely won't play…

On July 9, late into the night, Twitch streamer Ainrun roared in relief after beating Elden Ring's final boss. After a grueling two-and-a-half hours he had finished the game without taking a hit from any enemy or spending a single rune to make his character stronger. "Oh my god it's over dude, let's go, yes!" he said…

What makes the Steam Deck the most unique piece of gaming hardware currently available? You might be tempted to suggest its impressive graphical horsepower crammed into such a small form factor, or portable access to Steam, or even the software gymnastics it does to make Windows games play on Linux. That's all cool…

     Ex-EA Unity CEO apologises for idiot comment about devs

Unity CEO John Riccitiello has apologised for "crude" comments made in an interview toward developers who don't implement monetisation options in their games - to a tremendous outcry from the industry. "I am listening and I will do better," Riccitiello says.

In a recent interview with Pocket Gamer, the Unity CEO - formerly CEO at EA - called developers who don't implement monetisation options early in their games "the most beautiful and pure, brilliant people" but also "some of the biggest f***ing idiots."

As can be expected, this did not go down well with the gaming community, including developers behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, Gotham Knights, Celeste, Selaco, and EA's Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

     FFXIV Astrologian and Dragoon reworks delayed to 7.0 release

Players anticipating the FFXIV Astrologian and Dragoon reworks will have to wait a little while longer, as the development team has decided to postpone the major changes until the MMORPG's next expansion release. Speaking in the digest for Final Fantasy XIV's Live Letter 71, which also introduced the Island Sanctuary, the team says the changes planned are significant enough that they felt it was best to wait for a major expansion to put them out.

Initially during the Live Letter, FFXIV producer Yoshi-P noted that more work was required for the planned adjustments to both the Astrologian and Dragoon jobs, so they would not be releasing with patch 6.2 as initially suggested. Now the team has confirmed that they plan to hold off until an expansion release - which most likely means the arrival of 7.0 - due to the scale of the reworks.

"Making extensive adjustments to a job on a fundamental level would involve numerous changes," the team says in its Live Letter LXXI digest. "The sheer number of changes would make it difficult to fully explain our intentions for each one, so we believe we should wait for an expansion release to make adjustments of that scale."

     Halo Infinite Forge will have easy file sharing at release

Despite campaign co-op finally getting a flight test, we still know nothing about the Halo Infinite Forge release date - which is supposed to arrive not long after co-op. There are still questions about how maps will be delivered, but now it looks like Halo Infinite Forge will have a simple file share system.

While Halo 5 Forge is still the only way to play that game on PC, eight months after release Halo Infinite still doesn't have the long-promised Forge map and mode creator. Nevertheless, like the co-op mode, it's on its way, and we now have an idea of what it'll look like within the FPS game itself.

     Stunning Terraria build looks like completely different game

Have you ever seen a Terraria build so impressive that you almost don't recognise it as the game you know? Enthusiast builder Lady Forestia's latest offering makes incredible use of perspective tricks to turn the 2D crafting game environment into what appears to the eye as a fully-realised 3D scene, with a rather stunning tour through their small village featuring a lake, a cobblestone path, a pumpkin patch, and more.

A video posted by Lady Forestia on Twitter showcases the gorgeous build, with the player character standing outside a lovely stone and wood building in a forest. Clever use of block placement gives the appearance of trees lurking in shadow behind the structure, while the ground underneath the player has been laid out with blocks that give the appearance of a still lake that stretches out towards the camera, surrounded by sugar cane plants.

Lady Forestia then climbs a staircase to a rock tunnel, with clever teleporter use to represent travelling through the background cave. They then stroll down the street of a rather picturesque little village, across a stone bridge over a winding river, and past what appears to be a local church and a park with benches and a gazebo.

     WoW Dragonflight Death Knight talent trees adjusted following feedback

World of Warcraft survives and even prospers thanks to its highly engaged, knowledgeable, and, above all, opinionated player base. With its system of public test realms and player feedback, Blizzard do a commendable job of adapting their plans where necessary - especially ahead of a new expansion

Last month Blizzard unveiled the new Death Knight talent trees set to be implemented with the launch of Dragonflight. Like with the other class overhauls, the main goal of these changes is to reintroduce choice and careful spec building by complexifying the talent trees. Unfortunately this process is a delicate one, and as a result of player feedback from the Dragonflight Alpha, Blizzard will be making changes to their plans for Death Knights. Let's quickly run through the broad strokes.

     Bloodborne meets Bloodborne PC Thymesia delayed but still soon

If you're completely done with Elden Ring and are after a new Dark Souls-like experience, but are still desperately hoping for a Bloodborne PC release, Team 17 may have you covered - and while its Thymesia release date is delayed, the plague-ridden take on Bloodborne is still coming August.

There have been a lot of rumours over the years about From Software's PS4-exclusive classic Bloodborne getting a PC release, but as of right now it doesn't look like it's happening - despite exclusives like Spider-Man and The Last of Us Part 1 being on their way.

Therefore, there's a gap in the PC market for a good game to take Bloodborne's absent throne. Nacon's Steelrising is out in September, but first up is Team 17's Thymesia - a Souls-like set in a grey, twisted, Victorian-like world scarred by a plague, which players can weaponise in combat.

     Apex Legends developer 'motivated to do Revenant justice'

Apex Legends game designer John 'JayBiebs' Larson has responded to a Twitter discussion with former Apex developer Daniel Zenon Klein talking about the low pick rate of Revenant, saying that the team is "motivated" to provide gameplay that can "do his thematic design justice." The discussion initially began when Klein responded to a fan querying how he would look to encourage people to play the legend, who is the lowest-picked in the battle royale game's thirteenth season.

With a disclaimer that he hasn't worked at Respawn since August 2021, Klein says that he is "not surprised at all that he's barely picked." He notes that the primary reason players pick characters in Apex is how it affects their chance to win, and that this means that a legend's kit "needs to answer relevant questions" in order to make them a viable choice.

Revenant's ability set, says Klein, is very "in keeping with his creepy theme" - but rarely offers a good opportunity to react to a situation. Even his ultimate ability, Death Totem, which Klein notes is very strong, is only really useful proactively - that is to say, you need to use it before a fight starts - meaning that it can be very inflexible.

     Sea of Thieves Season 7 delayed, but Season 6 is extended

Wannabe pirate captains will have to wait, as Rare confirms the Sea of Thieves Season 7 release date is delayed to August from its original date of July 21. So when does Sea of Thieves Season 6 end? Despite the countdown timer in the pirate game, Season 6 is now extended - so you have longer to earn that sweet booty.

Sea of Thieves Season 6 kicked off in March 2022 and will now end in August, the developer confirms, making it easily the longest season the pirate multiplayer game has seen so far. Season 7 was officially revealed in the Xbox Showcase - along with its original July release date - and will finally feature the ability to become a proper pirate captain with your own named ship and customised captain's quarters.

     Intel Arc Alchemist A750 Graphics Card Performance DesignArc will arrive "sooner than you think" according to Intel fellow Tom Petersen. In a move to reassure the masses of Intel's confidence in its upcoming GPUs, the Arc graphics team demoed the gaming performance of the A750 desktop graphics card in several modern titles. This coincides with a recent guest appearance of Tom Petersen and Ryan Shrout on the Gamers Nexus YouTube channel to discuss Arc in more detail. The Intel video demonstration was straightforward and to the point. Ryan Shrout fired up the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark in 1440p on high settings to show that it managed a stable 60 fps experience. The Arc 7 A750 graphics slightly outpaced the performance of an Nvidia RTX 3060, which Shrout then backed up with additional examples from F1 2021, Control, Borderlands 3, and Fortnite.   For context, the A750 falls into the Arc 7 category, somewhat as we'd imagine the Core i7 series for CPUs. However, this does get a little murky with there being an A780 mo...

     Overwatch 2 Free To Play Trailer New Hero Junker Queen LaunchThe Junker Queen has held too tight a grip on her reign of terror in the latest Overwatch 2 beta patch. As a result, the Australian overlord is receiving some nerfs to tone down her power, in addition to some other characters running the meta right now. Meanwhile, the initial patch for the latest Overwatch 2 beta saw some controversial Mercy changes, as it basically invalidated her kit as a whole. Activision Blizzard is course-correcting this change with another Mercy rework, which should hopefully improve her performance across the board. The Junker Queen has become dominant in the latest Overwatch 2 beta patch, and as a result, she's receiving some nerfs to her Commanding Shout and Rampage ability. Her radius for Commanding Shout has been reduced from 20 to 15 meters, and allies' bonus health from this ability will now decay over time. To compensate, it will last a little longer, going from four to five seconds. Finally, her Rampage ability will have a shorter range, from...
