Since it was released in 2014, Halo: The Master Chief Collection received a variety of updates and tweaks, including maps and modes that in some cases were never in the original games. But one thing that wasn't added were in-game microtransactions. That could change soon, however, as Halo developers 343 Industries…

     World of Anterra is indie Skyrim with pixel art and it looks amazing

If you've ever thought a Skyrim pixel art game would be amazing, you're not alone, as one indie developer is billing their new work in progress World of Anterra is inspired by Bethesda's ubiquitous RPG game, but made with pixel art. Developer 81monkeys recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for Anterra with a goal of $99,555, and it seems the open-world game is gaining quite a following already. Just a few days into the campaign, World of Anterra already has more than 800 backers and, at the time of writing, is just about halfway to its goal.

     WoW Dragonflight adds new options that remove button spamming

WoW Dragonflight is set to land in Blizzard's venerable MMORPG later this year, but for the moment it's still in alpha testing. A recent alpha build quietly added a set of new accessibility options - an interact key, "action combat", and most importantly, a hold-to-cast option. Every Warcraft veteran knows that the game is hardly friendly to those with RSI or other joint issues, as most classes need to be keeping up a continuous stream of key presses to keep their rotations optimal. This new option should improve the game experience for all players, especially those with physical disabilities.

     Wartales Great Gosenberg free expansion arrives in September

Fans of turn-based tactics can look forward to a Wartales Great Gosenberg free expansion arriving in September, which introduces a bustling merchant city to the down-to-earth RPG game. The expansion will see your band of grubby mercenaries taking to the streets of Gosenberg, a medieval city inspired by the wine regions of France that's filled with secrets to uncover and people to win over.

PCGamesN took a glimpse at what players can expect to find in Great Gosenberg at a Gamescom preview event. The city is built around its wine production, which is the most precious commodity in Gosenberg as well as its main source of commerce. It's a traditional medieval city with a fair amount of wealth, but its varying architecture shows the class divide in the region. The city is split into two regions, separated by a canal, and features building designs that you won't find anywhere else in Wartales. Step across the bridge, and you'll be immediately aware of the difference between the rich upper classes and the common folk.

Upon visiting Gosenberg, you'll discover that one of the seven wealthy aristocrats who rule the city has been murdered - leaving you tasked with unceovering the killer. You can ask for help from everyone in the city, either employing barters or doing quests for people in return for information. With a university and a library, Gosenberg is a hive of knowledge - but some people might be a little economical with the truth. If you believe someone is perverting the course of justice, you can take them to trial, but be warned that you will be expected to pay compensation if it turns out you've besmirched their good name for no reason.

Jujutsu Kaisen USJ restaurant with Satoru Gojo Clone-oid statue photo spot

More details about the temporary Jujutsu Kaisen-themed attractions in Universal Studios Japan have appeared, this time featuring the restaurant. The SAIDO Japanese Restaurant will temporarily convert into the Jujutsu High School Cafeteria between September 2022 and July 2023. In addition to an exclusive menu inspired by the manga and anime franchise, the restaurant will also have a photo spot featuring a Clone-oid statue of Satoru Gojo.

The restaurant will offer a special menu containing meals and beverages such as a panda-decorated parfait for the event's duration. The venue will also sell a drink bottle shaped after a 3D photo box featuring Yuji Itadori, and a barbecue-flavored popcorn bucket with Satoru Gojo's design.

[gallery columns="2" ids="934478,934479" link="file"]

USJ coined the term "Clone-oid" to refer to its technology that allows them to produce lifelike statues of fictional characters. It had previously made Clone-oids of Attack on Titan characters, which it displayed as early as 2015. People who order the eligible menu entries in the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen restaurant will be able to take a photo with the Satoru Gojo Clone-oid. The venue will also offer a specially designed photo folder for an extra fee.

The restaurant will be one of the numerous Jujutsu Kaisen attractions that will appear at Universal Studios Japan for a limited time. The venue will also have a 4D attraction with an original story that visitors will experience exclusively at the ride. Both the restaurant and attraction will be available from September 15, 2022, to July 2, 2023.

Konosuba: an Explosion on this wonderful world!

It's time for Konosuba to explode back onto screens. On Friday, Kadokawa teased the first look at Konosuba: An Explosion on this Wonderful World!,  a spin-off show starring Crimson Arch Wizard Megumin. The show broadcasts in 2023. [Thanks, ANN!]

Check out the teaser below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_vwcq-sGI8

 

The Konosuba: An Explosion on this Wonderful World! teaser shows off the inciting incident in young Megumin's career. As a child, Megumin was saved by an older magician. Her savior wielded the ultimate offensive spell: Explosion. Ever since then, Megumin has been so devoted to acquiring and mastering the spell that she vowed to "cast Explosion once a day or die," even when a single casting drains her magic so thoroughly that she collapses into a heap.

The Konosuba: An Explosion on this Wonderful World! adapts the light novel series of the same name. Megumin and her self-declared rival Yunyun star, and its story covers their lives before meeting Konosuba protagonist Kazuma Satou. In the series, Rie Takahashi will reprise her role as Megumin. She also plays Mash in Fate/Grand Order and Emilia in Re:Zero. Aki Toyosaki will also be returning as Yunyun. Her other roles include Justine and Caroline in Persona 5 and Yui in K-On!.

The anime will be produced by Studio Drive (whereas Studio Deen and J.C. Staff animated the main series and film, respectively). Much of the staff from the main Konosuba series will return, however. These include director Takaomi Kanasaki, lead writer Makoto Uezu, and character designer Koichi Kikuta. The same staff is working on the third Konosuba season as well.

Konosuba: An Explosion on this Wonderful World! premieres in 2023. The first two seasons of Konosuba are available on Crunchyroll and other services. The Legend of Crimson movie aired in 2019. Yen Press publishes the source novels and their manga adaptations in English.

Sakamata Chloe UMISEA Hololive

Cover has officially revealed that VTuber Sakamata Chloe will be the fifth and newest member of the Hololive music unit UMISEA. Sakamata Chloe debuted alongside fellow unit members in their latest single, "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu". A music video is available to watch on YouTube, and the single is available on various music streaming platforms. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

UMISEA is a music group consisting of several talents from Hololive and Hololive EN. Its members include Gawr Gura, Houshou Marine, Ninomae Ina'nis, Minato Aqua, and the newly-joined Sakamata Chloe. As the group's name suggests, each unit member shares some connection to the ocean. In Sakamata Chloe's case, her clothing and mascot resemble an orca. Her fans are also typically compared to zookeepers.

Aside from her work with Hololive UMISEA, Sakamata Chloe also has her own solo music career. Earlier this month, she released her own single "Jinsei Reset Button Pochi". In addition to two other original songs, she occasionally hosts karaoke streams and has frequently mentioned her passion for music.

The release of group's latest single, "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu", also comes with a new music video. The music video features the five members sailing on a boat, after which it crashes and leaves Marine, Aqua, and Chloe stranded on an island.

You can check out the music video for "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu" below:

https://youtu.be/VOFOmeHAmfk

UMISEA debuted with its first song, "Domination! All the World Is an Ocean" back in September 2021. The group has also frequently appeared in collaboration streams as well as their own short animation series.

You can listen to "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu" via iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify.

     Resident Evil canceled zombies protagonistWhen the live-action TV adaptation of Capcom's ever-popular Resident Evil series came to Netflix last month, it didn't exactly set the world on fire. The show received a mediocre 55% critic score and a downright scathing 26% user score on Rotten Tomatoes, with many taking issues with its loose interpretation of the source material and generally messy storytelling. Couple that with some rather subpar ratings, and you have a recipe for yet another adaptation failure. Inevitably, this led to the Resident Evil show being canceled only six weeks after it initially aired, with no plans for a second season. According to Deadline , the show's inability to accrue viewer ratings and audience reception that offset the costs of production served as the main factor behind Netflix's decision to cancel it. Although the series did manage to pull in a decent "72.7 million hours viewed for its opening weekend," it did not receive a significant bump in hours viewed in...

Not only is the 2002 open-world game going free on Steam this week, but now we know another one is in the works. To coincide with the giveaway announcement, developer Hangar 13 has confirmed that a new Mafia game is in the works. However, we won't hear about it for quite some time. "I'm happy to confirm we've started work on an all-new Mafia project! While it's a few years away and we can't share anything more right now, we're really excited to keep working on this beloved franchise and to entertain our players with new stories," said Roman Hladík, Hangar 13 general manager, in an interview today.   This is, however, confirmation of a game we may have already heard about.

     Mafia Free Steam 1From September 1 to  September 5, Mafia will be free for all Steam players. This was announced earlier today on 2K's official Twitter account, which received a makeover to celebrate the series' 20-year anniversary. While long-time fans of the series are likely to own the original Mafia already, those who haven't played it yet can pick it up without any cost. Mafia was developed by Illusion Softworks and released on August 29, 2002. It's easy to compare it to other crime-centric open-world games like Grand Theft Auto. However, the Mafia series has always been more serious and story focused in comparison. Its attention to realism makes it a pretty unique experience even to this day. For example, the police will fine you for speeding or running a red light, so keep the road rage in check. The original Mafia is a cool look back to early 2000s gaming and is well worth grabbing for free during the Steam promotion.   Grab Mafia for free next month Mafia is a cult...

This presentation will include details on AMD's upcoming next-generation products, including the prices for Ryzen 7000. We've been hearing mixed reports about AMD's upcoming launches over the last few weeks, though AMD should finally clear things up later today during its livestream. The information shared by WCCFtech shines a light on some interesting developments ahead of time. First up, it looks like AMD's X670 motherboards won't launch until September 27. This means that early adopters of the Ryzen 7000 won't be getting the accompanying motherboard until two weeks after the new CPUs launch on September 15. The cause of this delay is apparently due to BIOS issues. Additionally, it seems that PCB layouts for the X670 and X670E motherboards required last-minute redesigns.   As for the B650 boards, those are apparently...

Sakamata Chloe UMISEA Hololive

Cover has officially revealed that VTuber Sakamata Chloe will be the fifth and newest member of the Hololive music unit UMISEA. Sakamata Chloe debuted alongside fellow unit members in their latest single, "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu". A music video is available to watch on YouTube, and the single is available on various music streaming platforms. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

UMISEA is a music group consisting of several talents from Hololive and Hololive EN. Its members include Gawr Gura, Houshou Marine, Ninomae Ina'nis, Minato Aqua, and the newly-joined Sakamata Chloe. As the group's name suggests, each unit member shares some connection to the ocean. In Sakamata Chloe's case, her clothing and mascot resemble an orca. Her fans are also typically compared to zookeepers.

Aside from her work with Hololive UMISEA, Sakamata Chloe also has her own solo music career. Earlier this month, she released her own single "Jinsei Reset Button Pochi". In addition to two other original songs, she occasionally hosts karaoke streams and has frequently mentioned her passion for music.

The release of group's latest single, "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu", also comes with a new music video. The music video features the five members sailing on a boat, after which it crashes and leaves Marine, Aqua, and Chloe stranded on an island.

You can check out the music video for "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu" below:

UMISEA debuted with its first song, "Domination! All the World Is an Ocean" back in September 2021. The group has also frequently appeared in collaboration streams as well as their own short animation series.

You can listen to "It Comes Ryuuu And It Goes Kyuuu" via iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify.

netflix bioshock

On Friday the Netflix Twitter account announced more details about its live-action feature film adaptation of the Bioshock franchise. Though it notes "franchise," which implies that it will cover more than just the first game, the teaser picture shows Rapture, the setting of the first two games. It is likely that even if the movie focuses on more than the first Bioshock, it will not touch on events in Bioshock Infinite.

https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1562864632708050945?t=mL_RLHa9d7Yu-xihKeE2Aw&s=19

Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) will direct the movie, while Michael Green (Logan, Blade Runner 2049) will write the script. It is unknown who will star in the film, or any of the other staff. More information on that, as well as the release date, will appear in the future.

This is not the first venture Netflix has made in adapting video games for live-action film or TV. Just recently, it announced that it would cancel the Resident Evil show. The reason is because it did not perform as they expected. This is also the same reason why Netflix axed Cowboy Bebop after one season. Netflix is working on live-action adaptations of One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho.

Bioshock first came out in 2007, and it is a first-person shooter set in the underwater city of Rapture. Founded in the 1940s by libertarian industrialist Andrew Ryan, Rapture was to be a capitalist utopia free from the restrictions of state control. The citizens of Rapture used ADAM, a substance harvested from a mysterious sea slug, to create plasmids, gene modification devices that bestowed fantastic superpowers. When Jack, the player character, arrives in Rapture after a plane crash in 1960, it is already after its isolated society has collapsed. Players will explore the city, encountering its twisted denizens and picking up audio logs to learn more about what happened.

The Bioshock Netflix live-action film is in production and more information on it will appear in the near future.

spy x family season 2

We now have a concrete date for when to expect Spy x Family season 2: October 1, 2022. Though Crunchyroll had announced in the past that the show would resume in the Fall 2022 anime season, the exact date was unclear. There is also a new trailer to show off the main visual for the second season.

Animator Kazuaki Shimada drew the main visual for the second season of Spy x Family. He has also worked on the show as a director, as well as the character designer. The main visual shows Anya in the forefront and striking a peace sign. Bond, the dog who appeared briefly at the end of the first season, is just behind her. All of the other main characters, as well as new one who will appear in season 2, are on the picture as well.

You can see the trailer for the new key visual here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_FRSErTKGo

Other shows aside from Spy x Family that will return in the Fall 2022 anime season include Mob Psycho 100, Golden Kamuy, and My Hero Academia. This will also be the season when the Chainsaw Man anime will start airing.

Spy x Family Season 2 will air on October 1, 2022 as part of the Fall 2022 line-up. It will be available on Crunchyroll with the rest of the show.

Savage Game Studios

Sony announced that it is acquiring mobile developer Savage Game Studios. Compared to recent game industry acquisitions like Sony's purchase of Destiny 2 developer Bungie and Microsoft's buy of US-based publisher Activision Blizzard, this merger is more low-profile. Savage Game Studios was founded in 2020 and has not yet launched a game. In 2021 it raised funding for to open in Helsinki, Finland and Berlin, Germany, to work on a "AAA mobile live service action game". The blog post trumpeting the announcement said that it's still too early to say more about that project, but work on it continues.

As for the role of Savage Game Studios in the new PlayStation Studios ecosystem, founder and CEO Michail Katkoff said positive things about Sony's respect for Savage's creative vision. Hermen Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios, promised that the addition of Savage to the roster would be "similarly additive" to its efforts to release games on PS4, PS5, PS VR 2, and PC. Savage will join a newly created Mobile Division at PlayStation Studios, operating independently from the console development arm. It'll focus on "innovative, on-the-go experiences based on new and existing PlayStation IP."

In other words, Savage Game Studios could be behind, among other things, a future mobile-focused spin-off or port of an existing PlayStation IP. Since axing its original PlayStation Mobile service in 2015, PlayStation has been pretty much absent from mobile gaming. Perhaps with this and future acquisitions, a God of War, Horizon, or Uncharted mobile game could be revealed in the next few years.

honkai herrscher of human ego

HoYoVerse has released a trailer for the Herrscher of Human: Ego battlesuit that will appear in Honkai Impact 3rd for Elysia. The video is available in Chinese, but with subtitles in multiple languages. The video is over eight minutes long and mostly focuses on how the development team approached designing the outfit. There are some spoilers for Honkai Imapct 3rd in regards to Elysia.

Part of the process involved deciding what concepts would go into the battlesuit, as the team wanted to give Elysia all of the things that made humanity beautiful. This would then turn her into a symbol of beauty as well. The Herrscher of Human: Ego suit will represent what Elysia's true self is, as opposed to when she was restrained.

After she enters Herrscher form, the design represents her divinity through elements such as flowers in her eyes. Her veil also looks like wings, and she moves like how a mermaid swims. According to the design team, her animations will look like what happened was not a battle, but rather a dance.

The full trailer for the Herrscher of Human: Ego battlesuit is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QvbmPkqv8I

Elysia first appeared in the Elysian Realm game mode in 2021. She was also the star of the "Because of You" Honkai Impact anime short. The development team reiterates multiple times that it wishes to capture Elysia's beauty and share it with the world.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available on mobile devices and Windows PC, and the S-rank battlesuit Herrscher of Human: Ego will debut in Version 6.0.
