     The Witcher 4 release date speculation

Want to know about The Witcher 4 release date? CD Projekt RED initially confirmed the existence of a new game in The Witcher series via a press release in March 2022.

Since then, we've received confirmation that the upcoming title is the first instalment in a new trilogy, though it remains unclear whether it will follow the characters and events of the previous open-world games. While it's safe to assume this new entry to the series won't be called The Witcher 4, we're going to call it that for now, for lack of a better, more official term. The closest we have to a title at the moment is its internal codename: Polaris. If it's anything like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it has the potential to be one of the best PC games ever, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

     Diablo 4 release date, trailers, gameplay, and news

Want to know the Diablo 4 release date and all the latest news? The upcoming entry in the demon-slaying action RPG series has many teasers and trailers. They showcase the various classes we can use to take on the hordes of monsters that block the way between the horned lord of the underworld and, well, us.

The roster of playable Diablo 4 classes includes transforming druids, spell-flinging wizards, and somersaulting rogues. Each class has unique combat skills to weave through every shambling zombie, skittering demon, and colossal terror that awaits you in these dank, hallowed halls. So far, so familiar, but that's hardly going to upset the series' devoted fans. However, despite a relatively open development process, we only just got confirmation about when the Diablo 4 release date is.

     Destiny 2 weekly reset time, changes, and schedule

A fresh Destiny 2 weekly reset is upon us. As a premier live service game, one of the main ways that Bungie keeps players coming back to Destiny 2 is with its weekly resets. These typically offer a content refresh across the game's various planets, raids, and dungeons, along with minor bug fixes and changes to address outstanding player concerns. The reset often includes new seasonal mission content or updates to existing in-game activities for players who own the seasonal content. And, with ongoing weekly updates to the Nightfall, the Crucible playlist, campaign missions, in-game activities, and bounties, there's more to track than ever.

The Destiny 2 weekly reset takes place at the same time each week. There's often some server downtime around the reset, so you should take note of that if you're unable to log into the game at precisely that time. Once the reset begins, you'll have a full week to explore all the changes before Bungie rolls out another set of changes on the same day and time the following week. Here, we're offering Destiny 2 players a recap of all the weekly reset changes so you know what shiny new activities to prioritise while grinding the free PC game.

I've played around four hours of soviet-punk FPS Atomic Heart, which took me from the story's opening moments to plenty of the game's earliest bits. The final hour or so was split into two parts, thanks to a lovely dev who time-skipped me forwards and into the game's open world, before warping me through a gate and into an early boss's lair. There was a lot to take in, from robo-gloves, to sex-dom vending machines, to grannies with bazookas.

I went in with expectations that it might be a little like BioShock, all steely and serious in its delivery of some vaguely philosophical truth. But I emerged with a totally different impression. Far from polished seriousness, Atomic Heart seems a little disjointed in its ambition, with a main character who almost immediately kills any atmosphere when he opens his mouth.

Kaveh, Cyno, and Tighnari Gossip About Alhaitham in a New Genshin Impact Trailer

The latest Genshin Impact trailer is out, and it features Kaveh gossiping about Alhaitham with Cyno and Tighnari. In between narration from the three Sumeru characters, there's gameplay footage interspersed showing Alhaitham's abilities in-game. Its the second such trailer released since it was confirmed he'll be added as a five-star playable character in the 3.4 update.

The new Genshin Impact trailer begins with Kaveh calling out Alhaitham's lie about being a "feeble scholar." Tighnari and Cyno point out how he's hiding his true abilities. They then speculate about how strong he is, and if he's stronger than Cyno. Kaveh then complains about how Alhaitham went out to study ruins and didn't want to travel together. At that point, the video shifts to combat footage of the new Dendro swordsman in action.

At the 1:20 mark, Alhaitham joins Cyno, Kaveh, and Tighnari at the table after eavesdropping on them. Tighnari then brings up how they were discussing his capabilities. It then shows more gameplay footage, with him using his Elemental Burst.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Alhaitham banner will appear on January 18, 2023. That's also when the Xiao rerun banner will return.
