     CSGO Source 2 looks almost certain as Valve adds 'CS2' to Steam

A new CSGO, of some description, is almost certainly on its way. Especially during the last few days, Valve has made numerous updates to the Steam backend of its flagship FPS game. Potentially, this could signal a revamped, new-engine version of the multiplayer shooter in the form of CSGO Source 2. Alternatively, the long-speculated Counter-Strike 2 release date could be upon us - with the latest update, which adds an executable marked 'CS2' that possibility may seem more likely. But we need to play it cool. Here's the latest on the new CSGO.

But comparisons began to surface online showcasing mirrored animations between Bleak Faith and FromSoft's titles, leading to accusations of stolen assets, as reported by PC Gamer. Archangel have now responded to the allegations of plagiarism, pointing to the Epic Marketplace where the team purchased the assets.

Since time immemorial (alright, 2 years ago), Alice0 has been on a grand journey to discover the best thing in videogames. She could've just come and asked me. The best thing in video games is clearly the maps. Interactive maps, to be specific. Or rather, our interactive maps.

Yes, glorious people. Rock Paper Shotgun and its sister sites within the network now do interactive maps. It's something that I've been after for years now, and it's finally here, and it's working, and it's beautiful. I'm giddy.

Pokemon Anime

A new promotional ad for the Pokemon anime features the show's original stars, Ash and Pikachu. The ad is notable for its huge size, as it takes up most of the wall at Shinjuku's Japan Rail station.

The ad focuses on Ash (known as "Satoshi" in Japan) and Pikachu's journey together through the many Pokemon anime adaptations. As part of a wall-sized display, clips from the different anime series covering their adventures are played simultaneously.

https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1635254545520693250

The presentation heavily references key scenes from different series, such as moments when Ash wins a gym badge or iconic Pokemon battles. With decades of material to draw on, the video highlights long-running stylistic flourishes, like the way Ash prepares to throw a Poke Ball. Even differences, like shifts in Ash's character design and moments from newer shows, get some screen time.

In November 2022 during the Pokemon Ultimate Journeys anime, Ash and Pikachu achieved their greatest goal by winning the Pokemon World Championship. With this milestone reached, The Pokemon Company International announced that Ash and Pikachu would be "retired" from their position as the central characters of the anime. To wrap up their journey, a season-long series called Aim to Be A Pokemon Master began airing in January 2023, and features the return of some long-absent characters like Brock and Misty. Its last episode airs next week, on March 24, 2023.

The Pokemon anime ad is visible on the special Shinjuku Wall 456 Premium display until March 19, 2023. In April 2023, a new series starring two new characters and based in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Paldea region will begin airing.
