     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 open-world game is the first instalment in a new trilogy, though it remains unclear whether it will follow the characters and events of the previous games. While it's safe to assume this new entry to the series won't be called The Witcher 4, we will call it that for now, for lack of a more official term. The closest to a confirmed title currently 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.

     GTA 6 release date rumours, news, and speculation

Want to know more about the GTA 6 release date? Given how many years it takes to create open worlds of the same calibre as GTA V, it's no surprise that Rockstar Games has already spent years developing GTA 6. Like most developers, Rockstar prefers to keep its secrets close to its chest until they're close to the end of development, so we may not see any official GTA 6 gameplay for some time.

Early gameplay footage of GTA 6 recently surfaced online, along with lines of source code from the game itself. Rockstar has issued a statement on Twitter which confirms that an unauthorised third party managed to access and download information from their systems, including development footage for the open-world game. However, its statement notes that the developers don't believe this leak should impact the development of their long-term projects or disrupt their live service games.

Want to know how to solve the Hogwarts Legacy door puzzles? As Hogwarts' newest fifth-year student, you've got a lot of work to catch up on. Not only are you going to need to learn as much as you can to pass your OWLs, there's also the pesky matter of a brewing goblin uprising that needs to be dealt with.

Once you've been assigned to your house using the Hogwarts Legacy sorting hat, you'll be able to explore the castle in the RPG game. There are plenty of door puzzles to solve in Hogwarts Legacy, which are a series of tests designed to evaluate your arithmancy skills. Arithmancy teaches wizards and wizards how to assign numbers to words in order to predict the future. Fortunately, these puzzles are simple enough that you won't need to break out a calculator any time soon. Behind Hogwarts Legacy door puzzles are usually collection chests, but how do you open them?

     GTA podium car: here's what vehicle you can win in GTA Online

What is the GTA podium car this week? GTA Online vehicles are expensive things, so we're happy to take a spin on the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel to get a discount. Winning isn't guaranteed, sure, but it isn't out of the question, either. Look, we don't have a problem - leave it alone.

Finding out what is the GTA podium car is simple enough - it's winning it that's the challenge. You can spin the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel once daily, and each Podium Car refreshes after seven days on a Thursday. Basically, you have seven shots to get the vehicle of that given week. If you own a Penthouse, you can spin it for free, but if you don't, it's $500 a spin. Don't fret if you don't win, as you can try for something else.

You have a one in 20 chance of getting the podium vehicle, a car discount, or a mystery prize. There's a four in 20 chance of getting clothes, chips, and cash. Finally, there's a five in 20 chance of getting RP. On that note, here's everything you need to know about this week's GTA podium car.

What are the best life games on PC? Well, it depends on what you're looking for and what kind of fantasy you envision. Daily life might be demanding and exhausting at times, but life games offer a chance to unwind and have greater control over someone else's existence.

It's more than just farming and dating – though there's plenty of that as well.

Be they adjacent to management games, farming games, or dating sims, here is our list of the best life games for peaceful - or crazy - escapism in 2023.

If you're looking for the Redfall release date, we've got you covered. The co-op vampire shooter comes from developers Arkane, best known for building rich, very deliberate worlds, and weaving intricate stories around their fascinating creations. This time, instead of a space station, or the clockwork city of Dunwall, they've focused on a small tourist town in the eastern US.

There are vampires, sure. A sniper with an undead eye? Check. They even have a cryptozoologist, because why not. The cast of Redfall characters is varied enough, but how will this co-op game fare when compared to Arkane's other creations? Many have likened Redfall to co-op shooters like Left 4 Dead, although it's allegedly going to be more like Far Cry than the aforementioned zombie shooter. Whatever happens, Redfall is shaping up to be one of the best PC games this year, here's what we know about its release date, all the trailers, gameplay, and more.

Hololive Short Houshou Marine

A new, animated Hololive Short Video on details the rise and fall of Marine Houshou. It's also a parody of nonsensical mobile game ads and features cameos from a host of fellow Hololive VTubers.

Check it out below.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DYqhfhVRrIY

The new Hololive Short video is titled "Get a Hundred Free Rolls for the Strongest Pirate" in Japanese and is structured like a low-budget video ad for a mobile game. It shows Marine Houshou as a "Lv. 5 Lady Pirate." She then saves Luna Himemori (a "Lv. 15 Princess") from being run over by a tricycle driven by Noel Shirogane, Kanata Amane, and Aki Rosenthal. Luna rewards her handsomely for the favor. Marine is then upgraded, leveling up to become a "Lv. 30 Lady Buccaneer." She flaunts her power, intimidating passers-by like Shion Murasaki.

The reign of the Pirate Queen is short-lived however, as she attempts unsuccessfully to flex on Korone Inugami. The Hololive Gamers veteran VTuber is a mighty "Lv. 536 Dog." Notably, the "Dog" class in this Hololive Short uses the kanji character that denotes the Chinese Zodiac animal, not just any dog. Korone quickly slaps Marine around, causing her to level down. She goes from "Lv. 30 Lady Buccaneer" to a "Lv. 5 Pirate." Then she becomes "Lv. 3 Thug. She ends up at "Lv. 1 Lady Cosplayer."

The short is a clear parody of a certain genre of mobile game ad, characterized by simplistic CG rendering and absurd situations. The archetypal examples are ones for the game Mafia City, which popularized the dynamic between characters of various levels foiling each other.

More Hololive Short videos can be found on the official Hololive Youtube presence, while the VTubers stream on their respective channels. They also participate in Hololive Graffiti (or HoloGra) short skits.

Dr. Stone Season 3

The next season of the Dr. Stone anime adaptation will begin soon. Official accounts for Toho Animation and the series itself confirmed that the release date for Dr. Stone Season 3 falls on April 6, 2023. The official account for Crunchyroll also confirmed that the show will be simulcast in multiple territories on the same day. Its official title is Dr. Stone New World. Dr. Stone Stone Wars season 2 aired in 2021.

Toho also uploaded the main trailer for Dr. Stone Season 3. English subtitles are available via the closed captions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cz2l8r44tA

The new trailer begins with lines from Byakuya Ishigami, father of protagonist Senku Ishigami. Byakuya places objects in what looks to be a time capsule, to preserve them for future scientists to find. Scientists like Senku and his companions.

Dr. Stone Season 3 takes place following the animated Dr. Stone: Ryusui special aired in 2022. It covers how Senku and his companions embarked on their quest to uncover the source of the Petrification Event that froze almost all the people in the world thousands of years ago. To accomplish that, they'll need to build a ship capable of crossing oceans and exploring the world. They'll also visit Treasure Island, a place that holds a number of rare materials planted by Byakuya, including platinum, the key to a machine that can make precious Revival Fluid.

Dr. Stone New World will air as a "split-cour," meaning that its season will be divided into broadcast periods. Each period will last about three months, with an interval in between. The length of the break wasn't specified.

The Dr. Stone Season 3 Japanese release date is April 6, 2023. Crunchyroll will simulcast the show with subtitles. Its English dub will appear on April 20, 2023. Dubs for English, German, French, Latin-American and Castilian Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Italian will also be offered. The manga is published in English by Viz Media.

Azur Lane Baltimore Bremerton Fumo Collection

Fans of Azur Lane's versions of two famed U.S. Navy warships can use a new line of gaming gear to show their devotion. Produced by Fumo Collection, the lineup consists of keyboards and PC desk accessories based on Azur Lane characters Baltimore and Bremerton. Pre-orders for the items opened on Fumo's online shop, which supports international shipping.

The Azur Lane Baltimore and Bremerton Fumo Collection involves two illustrations of the characters. They were created by their respective character designers, Feng Ze and Katsudansou. The designs feature Baltimore and Bremerton dressed in casual wear while sitting at PCs. The characters' personalities are also contrasted in the desk setups they prefer. Baltimore's PC desk is compact and optimized for work and multitasking, while Bremerton has a dedicated gaming "battle station," complete with an ultra-wide curved monitor and second monitor to watch videos on.

[gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="955241,955239,955240,955238" link="file"]

The Fumo Collection Azur Lane Baltimore and Bremerton items themselves take the form of two customized tenkey-less (TKL) mechanical keyboards. Each is set up with customized colors based on the character. Baltimore's is black and blue with splashes of yellow and red, while Bremerton's is pink and cyan, with splashes of red. The boards include several custom keycaps decorated with art of the characters dressed in their most popular cosmetic skins: Baltimore's race queen outfit and Bremerton's tennis outfit. The keyboards are also backlit to match the color profiles of the characters, and customers can select their preferred Varmilo-brand key switches at checkout.

fate/grand order takasugi

Lasengle revealed that the new White's Day Servant in Fate/Grand Order (FGO) will be Takasugi Shinsaku. This is only going to be for the Japanese server. It is unknown when Takasugi will appear on the global server. We can also see some of the CBC 2023 Craft Essences that players will be able to get when the event starts on March 17, 2023.

The full title of the event will be "CBC2023 Chaldea Heavy Machinery Story ~ Our BtoB~." The story will focus on Chaldea's efforts to beat out its competitors and become the number one corporation in SAITAMA. As for Takasugi, he will be a limited SSR Archer Servant. Though this event will be his playable debut, he had already showed up in Fate/Grand Order as an NPC. His first appearance was during the Showa Kishin Project GUDAGUADA Event.

Aside from Takasugi, Lasengle will also introduce a handful of new Craft Essences. Whenever you get a Craft Essence that is part of CBC2023, you can hear a special voiced line based on the scenarios. There will also be the Photography function for a limited time. You can take pictures of Servants in your My Room, with the background changing every day. During the CBC2023 event, there are login bonuses, including one where Takasugi talks to you in a voiced dialog scene.

Fate/Grand Order is readily available on mobile devices. The CBC 2023 event on the Japanese server of Fate/Grand Order will start from March 17, 2023, and that is also when Takasugi Shinsaku will appear in the gacha for a limited time. More information on his kit and voice actor will appear in the near future.

Zhuyan is the second boss that you will encounter as you play through Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Like you can probably imagine from his physical appearance, this massive ape can pack a serious punch. However, if you play a more defensive game, then it is not too difficult to topple this beast.

To start with, I once again recommend using a polearm if you lack confidence in your ability to deflect. Deflecting and parrying Zhuyan's attacks are the key to this strategy. Another thing to keep note of is Morale. Morale dictates how much damage you receive when an enemy hits you, as well as how much damage you deal in turn. Zhuyan's Morale is 10 so you should have around that too. For reference, I defeated Zhuyan with 8, which was my minimum. I personally do not recommend trying to grind too much in Wo Long because you have to go through it again if you die. It feels like a waste of time unless you're really having trouble.

Unlike Zhang Liang, Zhuyan tends to dish out combo moves. So even if you parry one hit, he continue to slug on you about two more times. His critical hits are all fairly easy to read because of how long his preparation time is and how he tends to lunge or jump at you. However, on the flip side, he comes towards you very fast. I recommend maintaining a good distance to give yourself ample time to react. If you mix in Spirit Attacks with parrying, you should be able to deplete Zhuyan's Spirit Gauge fairly often and at a fast tempo.

Zhao Yun is pretty useless in this match, to be honest. But he's fantastic as a wall or a decoy. Whenever Zhuyan is whaling on Zhao Yun, that's your chance to sneak in some free hits. Sprint up to Zhuyan while he's busy beating up Zhao Yun and get in as much damage as you can. I highly recommend the Wood Phase Wizardry Spell "Absorb Vitality" for boss fights. So if you cast Absorb Vitality before you start slashing at Zhuyan, you can top up any HP you might have lost earlier. With these tips you should have an easier time tackling Zhuyan in Wo Long.

Wo Long is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
