PCGamesN Wednesday, January 4, 2023 7:42 AM  Wondering when the next Valorant Night Market is coming? We're just out of the prolonged Christmas Night Market, but we know you're already clamouring for a date for the next. Perhaps you didn't get what you wanted in your Valorant Night Market stocking last month, or perhaps you unwrapped it all and are just already eager for more. Either way, you'll have a bit of a wait until the next market opens with your new discounted weapon skin selection. Of course, Valorant weapon skins don't offer any competitive advantage, but looking cool and giving your opponents something pretty to look at as you dominate them in the FPS game offers its own benefits. With anything from seasonal skins, to colourful patterns and intimidating designs for most Valorant guns and blades, there's bound to be something you like in the next Valorant Night Market.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 4, 2023 6:54 AM  What are the best free Steam games? If you are bored and penniless, especially after the holiday season, you don't need to fear a gaming drought. Steam is loaded with games to play without spending a penny (no, not like that). What's more, many of them are very good indeed: games that are just as much fun to play as their full-price, wallet-destroying siblings. In recent years, free Steam games have become the norm, with some even overtaking paid-for triple-A tiles as the leaders of the PC gaming hobby. Take a quick look at the platform's most-played list and you'll see that a significant proportion of the most popular and best PC games on the platform happen to be free-to-play. So, because we desperately care about the health of your bank account - and honestly worry about how much money you're spending on your nasty gaming habit - we want to help you find all the best free PC games worth your time.

PCGamesN Wednesday, January 4, 2023 6:42 AM  What are the best card games on PC? It is not a question we would have been asking a few years ago, when some basic ports of paper-based systems and some minigames in larger titles were all we had access to. Now, there are heaps of games like Hearthstone vying to be among the best card games on PC - it is one of the quickest growing genres in the industry. The best card games offer players a rich and constantly shifting meta, potentially limitless replayability, and are approachable to boot - so it is not hard to see why card games have taken off in recent years. What that means is somebody (us) needs to lay down the objective truth (subjective opinion) on which are best card games on PC (the ones we enjoy the most). We will cover everything from the biggest player in the genre today (you will never guess which that is), the best ports from paper, the up-and-comers you might not have heard of, and some of the best free card games out there.

Fans of the free PC game might be confused about the addition of a new desert area as we were introduced to Sumeru not that long ago. If the leaks are true, the 3.4 and 3.6 updates are going to expand the Sumeru region drastically, potentially covering up to 60% of the playable Teyvat map.

As with any new Apex Legends season, we're usually guaranteed a new legend, a new map - or variation on a map - and a bunch of new cosmetics. Apex Legends season 15 Eclipse began on November 1, and with it came a new defensive legend, Catalyst, a new map, Broken Moon, and the ability to gift cosmetic items to your friends.

While many Destiny 2 Exotics can be bought from Xûr or even in the world loot pool, the Exotics in these special Lost Sector instances cannot, forcing players to explore these dangerous areas if they want the best equipment available.

Each day, the location, modifiers, and rewards rotate out for something new. It's important to remember that Exotic drops are not guaranteed after completing these quests, so you may have to run through the same Lost Sector multiple times. You can go through them quests with a fireteam, but your rewards will be reduced to Enhancement Cores only. Continue reading What is the Destiny 2 Legendary Lost Sector today?

Prepare yourself to get in the robot, because Medabots S is going to have a collaboration event with Neon Genesis Evangelion. It will start from January 5, 2023. A total of six Evangelion-themed Medabots will appear in the game, and there will also be a special story inspired by the anime as well. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MttqS8bLPLU Not only will the Medabots get Evangelion colors, but there will also be humans wearing clothing based on the Evangelion characters' outfits. The six Eva Unit themes that you will be able to collect once the collaboration starts are:
You can also get skins for the humans to make them look like characters from Evangelion. For example, Arase (the protagonist) will, fittingly, get a costume that looks like Shinji's plugsuit. Other outfits you can get include those of Rei, Asuka, Mari, and Kaworu. Medabots S is a mobile game for the Medabots series, and it is only available in Japan. It has had many collaboration events in the past, with limited attires for both the humans and the Medabots. Examples include an event with Full Metal Panic, as well as one with Mega Man Battle Network. Medabots S is available on Android and iOS devices, and the Neon Genesis Evangelion collaboration event will start from January 5, 2023.

The second cour of My Hero Academia season 6 will feature a new opening and ending. This news came from the newest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. Though we know who will sing the ending, we do not yet know the artist for the opening. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!] SIX LOUNGE will sing the new ending for the second cour of My Hero Academia season 6. It is a rock and roll band, and My Hero Academia appears to be its first time contributing to an anime. You can listen to a preview of the song via a trailer on the TOHO Animation YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SulyheX-X8 As for the opening song, we do not yet know the artist. But since the new part will start airing on January 7, 2023, people will be able to find out very soon. Previous opening used fairly well-known artists such as Man With a Mission, Kenshi Yonezu, Blue Encount, and Porno Graffitti. This is a fairly standard practice in anime, and has been for quite some time. Usually, when an anime splits its season into different cours, they change up the opening and ending. For example, Spy x Family's first opening was "Mixed Nuts." However, when the second cour aired, it changed to "Souvenir." My Hero Academia season 6 part 2 will start airing on January 7, 2023. You can readily watch My Hero Academia, as well as new episodes after January 7, on Crunchyroll. The post Six Lounge Will Sing New My Hero Academia Season 6 Ending appeared first on Siliconera. |
