Kotaku Thursday, July 21, 2022 8:20 PM  In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, publisher Electronic Arts decided to remove all Russian sides from FIFA 22. They won't have to do the same for FIFA 23, because those teams are never making it into the game in the first place. |

Kotaku Thursday, July 21, 2022 5:41 PM  Roblox is one of the most popular games in the world, and now it's getting a graphical overhaul to bring its fidelity slightly more in line with its reach. It's not quite gaming in ray-traced 4K, but it will no doubt go a long way toward helping the surprisingly shady, social "not-a game" platform insinuate itself… |

PCGamesN Thursday, July 21, 2022 6:45 PM  Firaxis and Virtuous released a new Marvel's Midnight Suns character trailer ahead of the game's October launch, and this time, it was all about Spider-Man. Well, "all about" may be slightly overselling it. The Spider-Man trailer was rather on the short side, but it did include a few tantalizing looks at what we can expect from the friendly neighborhood mutant in combat, along with some exciting examples of the game's fresh vision of tactics.

PCGamesN Thursday, July 21, 2022 5:27 PM  The latest Lost Ark update, Spells in Spades, did more than just add the Arcanist class and some fun summer activities to the MMO game. It made a significant change to how much gear honing costs, one the development team glossed over in the official patch notes. Reddit user omark96 compiled a set of images showing exactly how much you can expect to spend – or save, depending on how you look at it – with the new update's cuts, including discounts depending on your Stronghold research, and it's good news if you have alts and no Powerpass.

Konami has opened pre-registration for a new Yu-Gi-Oh! mobile game. Yu-Gi-Oh Cross Duel is billed as a brand-new experience involving up to four players at a time. The pre-registration campaign promises rewards for all players based on the number of pre-registrations received. Players can pre-register at this page. Check out a trailer for the game below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jQPX2sF97A&t Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel is distinct from other Yu-Gi-Oh! titles in that it focuses on four-player battling. Each player in the match will have some of their card slots linked to those of their opponents on either side and across. As in other iterations of Duel Monsters, players will summon monsters and use spells to battle the other duelists. A four-player cooperative mode will pit all four players against a single extremely tough set of monsters. Finally, a more relaxed single-player mode rearranges the structure into a two-on-two setup. Multiplayer lobbies also support up to 32 players. Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel features 3D graphical rendering for all the game's summoned monsters, as well as ways to customize and unlock their skills for deck-building. Single-player modes will team players up with partners from the anime and manga series. Players can win their partners' trust through cooperation, improving their performance and earning rewards. Here's a look at some of the 3D-rendered monsters available. Some monsters, like the iconic Blue Eyes White Dragon, will have special summoning animations. A gallery mode lets players view the monster models freely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahbpsFDEtoQ&t Yu-Gi-Oh Cross Duel launches in 2022 for iOS and Android. Pre-registered players have a chance to gain early access to the app. Another Yu-Gi-Oh! game, Master Duel, is available on mobile, PC, and consoles.

Square Enix will release a 1/4 scale Masterline statue of 2B from NieR: Automata based on her 2P alternate color scheme. The statue will have an approximate height of 52.2 cm or 21.7 inches. It will cost over 100,000 yen in Japan and over $1,000 in the U.S. The statue's package will come with an alternate head. One of them will show 2B's full face, while the other will have a white eye cover. The owner will be able to swap the heads to their liking. This figure will appear first in December 2022 in Japan, where it costs 121,000 yen. The item is also available for pre-order in North America with a price tag of $1,150 and an April 2023 release window. [gallery columns="4" link="file" ids="932496,932495,932494,932493"] The high price tag reflects the statue's larger size and greater detail than other 2B figures and statuettes revealed previously. In June 2022, Square Enix revealed Flare's eleven-inch 2B figure that costs under $200. The company also shipped seven-inch-tall statuettes of NieR: Automata's 2B in her regular and 2P colors in early 2022. NieR: Automata is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Square Enix has sold more than 6.5 million units of the game as of June 2022. The company will release a Nintendo Switch port on October 6, 2022. It is also working with Aniplex to produce an anime adaptation of the title. The post NieR: Automata 2B 2P 1/4 Scale Statue Will Cost Over $1,000 appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, July 21, 2022 7:00 PM  Another day, another Vampire Survivors update. This time, developer poncle has released Patch 0.9, dubbed "The Flashy One," signaling that Vampire Survivors is very close to receiving the full 1.0 version. In all, this new update introduces the Boss Rash challenge mode, the Gemini and Twilight Requiem Arcanas, one new character, a hidden game mechanic, and four new achievements alongside the usual tweaks and bug fixes. Mostly a fairly standard update, all things considered, but players will likely enjoy what it has to offer nonetheless. Out of all the additions introduced in the patch, the Boss Rash mode stands out as the most significant one. This mode sees players attempting to survive as long as they can against a horde of enemies and bosses from the main game. Notably, you cannot experience Boss Rash mode right away, as you must unlock Hyper mode in each of the game's five main levels before it will become available. Unlocking Hyper mode requires you to... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, July 21, 2022 5:00 PM  Even if you grew up experiencing the wave of first-person shooters that came out during the 1990s, there's a good chance that you never touched Chasm: The Rift. This Quake-inspired shooter from developer Action Forms earned a fairly middling reception upon its release in 1997. Although the game has its fans, you won't hear many people talking about it today. Not exactly the most impactful of legacies, but players still deserve the opportunity to experience obscure games like this. Fortunately, Action Forms has partnered up with developer General Arcade and publisher SNEG to release Chasm: The Rift on Steam come October. According to the Steam page, Chasm: The Rift has players gunning down hordes of unsightly creatures "following the destruction of Time." These creatures go by the name Timestrikers, and the Time channels that spawned within the Earth's atmosphere have caused them to appear en masse. Players assume the role of a member of "a special ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, July 21, 2022 4:30 PM  Fellow '90s kids, it's almost officially pizza time. TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection has been confirmed for a late August release date on PC. The collection brings together 13 of the best (and maybe not so best) Turtles games all in one package. Thankfully, most of the games are great, even if they do sit side by side with the one that has the nightmare-inducing dam level. It really is the year of the Turtles, isn't it? At least, in terms of video games. TMNT: Shredder's Revenge has barely been out for a month. The game, by Dotemu and Tribute Games, was a lovingly crafted homage to the franchise's best beat 'em ups, bringing new moves and modern comforts. TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection, however, is where this inspiration first began. TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection brings a massive catalogue of Turtle games on release. It includes the original arcade game, Tournament Fighters (SNES and Genesis versions), The Hyperstone Heist, Turtles in Time, an... |

There are those who think any old thing will do, while others feel you need to have the best of the best for your setup. No matter what, there will always be a difference of opinion. For those who want a gaming desk with a high-end look, Eureka Ergonomic wants the GTG-L60 Spectrum RGB to be your pick. No stranger to the gaming desk market, Eureka has released the GTG-L60 Spectrum RGB gaming desk. At $549.99 USD, this reversible L-shaped desk features a tempered glass top, a plastic cup holder, a rotating metal dual headset holder, a cable management rack, and all the RGB you can imagine. While that all sounds well and good, is it really a desk worth the premium price tag? Easy assembly As with every new gaming desk, the first thing you'll notice is the level of effort it takes to put it together. It was pretty surprising how simple and quick assembly for the GTG-L60 Spectrum RGB actually was. Even with the ability ... |

Jagex has acquired Pipeworks Studios, making this the first major investment in the RuneScape developer's 23-year history. The cost of the acquisition has not been confirmed but it likely wasn't cheap. The Sumo Group previously acquired Pipeworks Studios in 2020 for $100 million. Pipeworks Studios is a developer based in Eugene, Oregon best known for co-development. The developer has experience with bringing games to other platforms, with it being responsible for porting Terraria to various consoles. The acquisition of Pipeworks Studios is a bold change in approach for Jagex. As a developer, it has always focused on maintaining RuneScape above all else. Jagex has made some efforts in the past to expand, but these have all fallen short. None were as daring as this, though. Jagex CEO Phil Mansell is clearly excited about the move. He describes the acquisition as an "incredible opportunity to bring onboard world-class game development talent." Mansell also h... 
The reveal of FIFA 23 was not expected to be something PC gamers needed to look forward to. After all, when it comes to sports games we usually get the worst deal. However, EA has surprised everyone. Along with the announcement of cross-play, EA also confirmed that FIFA 23 on PC will be the next-gen version of the game. The past two PC installments of FIFA have been the last-gen versions. PC gamers received both a worse-looking product and a game without all of the promoted new features. This is no longer the case, with FIFA 23 supporting EA's new state-of-the-art animation engine, Hypermotion 2, on PC. Past versions of FIFA were held back on PC, so why the change in heart? A part of it is likely because FIFA 23 is the first in the series to support cross-play. Players on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, and PC will be able to go head to head on Ultimate Team. However, the markets for PC and consoles will remain separate. Other game modes such as Pro Clubs will ... 
Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone Pacific Season 4 brought plenty of content to the games, as well as a fresh Warzone Pacific experience. From Fortune's Keep to new weapons, the content does not stop. And with Season Four Reloaded just around the corner, here is everything new coming to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone Pacific. Firstly, you'll be able to jump in to a new Warzone Pacific game mode named Titanium Trials: Endurance. Activision compares this to the competitive Iron Trials mode from past rotations. In Titanium Trials: Endurance, players begin with a self-revive and 300 health, but core health regeneration will be slower. Custom-built loot tables will feature in this mode, with rare weapons to take on the higher time to kill. Get ready, as Titanium Trials: Endurance goes live on Caldera on August 11. It'll only be around for two weeks. Also, a high speed vehicle is coming to Warzone Pacific, as the Armored SUV will have a Nitrous Boost. This will make it... 
The cost of a free-to-play game is secretly pretty high, depending on who you are. Fortunately, while MultiVersus' unlockable content system should be quite reasonable (new characters and perks), those who wish to bling out their characters with skins will have to pull out their wallet. That's not a huge complaint — as long as the game doesn't cross into the realm of pay to win, I'm completely fine. But getting all of the cosmetics in MultiVersus will cost you some money. In MultiVersus' latest trailer, WB Games revealed how players will be able to unlock new characters for their roster. Similar to other free-to-play games, characters cycle through a free rotation, allowing you to try out some fighters for free at any given time. You can also try out each character in the training mode for free. You can earn Gold by completing challenges and playing online, which you can use to unlock characters and perks. Looking good In fact, you won't... 
According to a blog post on the official Minecraft website, developer Mojang has received a fair few comments from fans asking about its stance on NFTs and the blockchain. It makes sense to ask these questions; considering Minecraft's emphasis on user-generated content, it would not come as a surprise if Mojang felt tempted to allow the selling of this content and join in on other companies' race toward the bottom. Thankfully, the same blog post confirms that Mojang does not support or permit the incorporation of NFTs into Minecraft. Currently, the Minecraft Usage Guidelines allow players to charge others who wish to join their servers, but otherwise give all players "access to the same functionality" and content. Mojang stated that NFTs would not fall in line with these guidelines. Their imposed scarcity would exclude many players from accessing this content and interfere with "the spirit of Minecraft." To ensure that Minecraft players ...
