Kotaku Friday, April 21, 2023 4:20 PM  The long-awaited, blood-soaked Dead Island 2 released today, and after almost a decade of waiting, I'm sure you have some questions.

After weeks of countless rumours, Valve has finally confirmed Counter-Strike 2 is real and is coming a lot sooner than you might expect. We've gathered up every scrap of information about Counter-Strike 2 on the internet, from the latest on the CS2 release date, Valve's official trailers and announcements to patent filings and even datamines of the limited test build itself. In this guide we'll lay it all out for you in a clearly categorised way so you too will know everything there is to know right now about the sequel to one of the best PC games of all time.

PCGamesN Friday, April 21, 2023 4:01 PM  What is the current and next Honkai Star Rail banner? Star Rail banners are where you can pull characters and items from. Much like the banners in Genshin Impact, another Hoyoverse game, the offerings in its gacha system change drastically. By issuing regular social media posts, you can earn free currency to use when pulling for new characters and weapons. Though we're still waiting on the Honkai Star Rail release date, there's an air of mystery surrounding whether Honkai Star Rail banners will work similarly. One difference we know of already compared to Genshin Impact is that, instead of wishes, Honkai Star Rail opts to call its gacha pulls 'Warps'. As a result, the characters featured in the banners will likely become contenders for the top ranks in our Honkai Star Rail tier list. They will most assuredly return in future banners for the free PC game once they finish their time in the spotlight, so make sure you check out the Honkai Star Rail codes guide once the game is live to see if there are any ways to get free Warps.

PCGamesN Friday, April 21, 2023 2:22 PM  The next Genshin Impact skins may be going to Klee and Kaeya if recent leaks are to be believed. It seems that HoYoverse could be adding skins for the Mondstadt natives in version 3.8, which would be right before we enter the anime game's next major region, Fontaine. The time between Genshin Impact outfit drops is usually much wider than this - a fact that some players take issue with - so these new ones are a nice surprise.

PCGamesN Friday, April 21, 2023 1:19 PM  April 21, 2023: We added a new Project Mugetsu code to our list ahead of the weekend. Want all the new Project Mugetsu codes? The anime combat game has taken Roblox by storm as of late, meaning you're likely on the hunt for active PM codes that will give you the edge against your opponents in the heat of battle. The codes in our list down below serve up a nice variety of wonderful gifts, ranging from mastery and gold boosts to free spins and rerolls. It's important to redeem them as soon as they drop, as they won't remain active forever.

Below you'll find all the latest PM codes to help you out with the Easter update and beyond, including information on the rewards you'll get for redeeming each one.

Shinobi Life 2, which was formerly known as Shindo Life, is among the most popular gacha games on the Roblox platform thanks to its lightning-fast action, wealth of unlockables, and Naruto-like vibes. Developer RellGames is also an extremely active creator, delivering a tight weekly update schedule and serving up regular codes for rellcoins, spins, double XP, and more. If you want to stay ahead of the competition, you'd be wise to make use of our codes list down below, which we update on a regular basis to bring you the latest rewards before they're gone for good.

Each new section of the earth comes with its own mining challenges, tougher ground that requires better tools, and more power to break. The Roblox game has a healthy following; players with staggering amounts of power behind each swing; players that have seen things you wouldn't believe. A slow start in the free PC game quickly develops into a mining flurry, with each swing of your pickaxe improving your strength, enabling you to forge on, ever deeper.

PCGamesN Friday, April 21, 2023 12:17 PM  Want to know about Dead Island 2 fast travel? While the main story of Dead Island 2 is somewhat linear, you need to return to previous locations in order to collect rare items and weapons and carry out side quests. That's where Dead Island 2 fast travel comes in. The Dead Island 2 map is a fair size. It's not the biggest by any means, but considering there are no driveable vehicles - unlike the first game in the series - Venice Beach to Hollywood Boulevard is a bloody long way to go on foot. If you want to pop back to Bel-Air to find the Dead Island 2 Goat Pen master keys, or change quests from the deadly final boss to an easier side quest, you'll want to unlock Dead Island 2 fast travel maps first.

PCGamesN Friday, April 21, 2023 12:23 PM  Want to know more about the six Dead Island 2 slayers? In Dead Island games historically, there have always been multiple zombie killers to choose from before embarking on your action adventure, each with their own different skills and talents. Who you choose can dramatically affect your gameplay experience, and you can't change your mind once you start, so we've taken a look at each of your choices in Dead Island 2 to help you choose. The Dead Island 2 slayers are all new characters to the series, bringing a more current, youthful feel since the zombie game's debut over a decade ago. Each of these cool young things come with their own Dead Island 2 skills as well as a unique set of stats, so choosing one to match your RPG game playstyle will be essential to surviving the zombie apocalypse.

The rich and famous of Hell-A have plenty of valuables strewn around their lavish homes, but the crème de la crème are typically locked up tight. Thankfully, a closed door is no match for your chosen slayer – all you need is a strong kick and a good guide. Unlike his safe key, Curtis' garage key can be located fairly early on in Dambuster's zombie game, during your very first stop at Sinclair's mansion. It also doesn't require you to go up against any fearsome zombies or bosses, though we would recommend brushing up on your Dead Island 2 skills regardless.

Kirara is the first cat-girl to appear on the Genshin Impact roster, but most importantly, she's a four-star sword-wielding Dendro character. Judging by her leaked abilities, Kirara should work well as a support character, providing shields to her fellow party members. That being said, there are a lot of Dendro supports right now, so we'll have to see where Kirara ends up on our Genshin Impact tier list in the free PC game.

PCGamesN Friday, April 21, 2023 12:26 PM  Want to find out more about the Dead Island 2 map? Dambuster's follow up to Techland's 2011 original Dead Island takes place across western LA, starting in Bel-Air and winding up on the Santa Monica coast. Unlike the first game, there are no vehicles, but the game covers a fair distance as you explore on foot. Dead Island 2 is a semi-open world game, so you can explore the world around you - within confined limits - at will. The map, sadly, doesn't reflect this very well as it's not the easiest to navigate, and you can only set waypoints to specific locations. Using your map, you can locate traders to buy Dead Island 2 fuses, set waypoints to workbenches to mod your weapons with blueprints and perks, and even track down certain Dead Island 2 zombies. For everything you need to know about the Dead Island 2 map, including its size, locations, and how to use Alexa Game Control to get around, read on.

Whether you're looking to hunt the Mesozoic monsters or want to stomp and chomp humans while playing as them, the appeal of dinosaurs in gaming is endless. What is not endless, however, is the number of dino games that successfully realise that fantasy. Let's be honest: until recently, fans of dinosaurs and big guns haven't exactly walked the primrose path. It's been a long hard road, marked by velociraptors that look like lumpy dogs, rifles that feel as satisfying as lobbing a bullet by hand, and jeeps that seem to magnetically roll themselves into a nearby ditch, no matter what keys you press.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, April 21, 2023 1:00 PM  Hello! Come on in. Please, take a seat. Welcome to the inaugural episode of our brand new (and currently untitled) supporter-first indie video show! Every month*, I'm going to be spending some time highlighting a cool indie game that deserves your attention. Think of this series as a supplement to Sin's Scout Report or our Indiescovery podcast. A brand new method for delivering piping hot recs from my desktop to yours. My aim is to use this series as a springboard to dive deep into specific elements of a game I find particularly fascinating, sharing my discoveries with you lot behind the paywall first (and don't worry, regular readers, I'll also be making each of these videos public for all to see after a month, which should roughly coincide with the the next one going live for supporters). In it, I'll be discussing some common themes between multiple games, digging into underappreciated gems from years gone by... The remit is broad and nebulous, to the point where it's clearly obvious why I haven't been able to come up with a name for it yet. (If you end up thinking of something, please do let me know in the comments. More than anything it'll stop me messaging Katharine a list of awful possibilites every other week, which I can only imagine is negatively effecting her feelings about me, the site and the endeavour of games journalism in general.

If you're used to heavier fare this may still scratch the itch. It's not that it's particularly simple, but it feels so damn clean and effortless to play. You'll know what you're doing in minutes, but still find a decent challenge, with lots of options but minimal analysis paralysis. I'm honestly finding it hard to fault. |

Among the many things you can strive to do on Final Fantasy XIV is to unlock mounts for easy and fashionable traveling across the maps. One such mount is a menacing machine called the Magitek Predator, which has been available since patch 4.0. There are two main ways players can acquire this mount. One is either by completing a Stormblood dungeon, and the other is by saving up tomestones during a FFXIV Moogle Treasure Trove event. To unlock the mount the traditional way, you will need the Magitek Predator Identification Key, which you can receive as a rare drop from completing Ala Mhigo, the last dungeon in the FFXIV Stormblood main questline. You may need to repeat this level 70 duty a number of times, since the odds of getting one is determined by RNG. To make your job easier, queue up for the duty with a group of friends and set an order of acquisition if needed. However, if repeating the same dungeon several times is not your ideal way to play FFXIV, you can try to get it via an Itinerant Moogle. The current Moogle Treasure Trove event running up to the launch of Patch 6.4 offers the Magitek Predator Identification Key as an exchangeable item. You will need 50 Irregular Tomestones of Mendacity to claim it, which can be obtained by playing PvP duties or completing a selective number of dungeons and raids. Once you have saved enough Irregular Tomestones of Mendacity, you can claim the item for the FFXIV Magitek Predator mount by talking to an Itinerant Moogle posted in Limsa Lominsa (X:9.4, Y:11.6), New Gridania (X:12.4, Y:12.1), or Ul'dah (X:9.6, Y:9.1). It should be noted that it is a market prohibited item, so you won't find it nor be able to sell it through the Marketboard. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and the Moogle Treasure Trove event is up until the launch of patch 6.4.

Voltage is working on a new Switch otome game, and it is the Even if Tempest fandisk called Dawning Connections. The company announced it in both English and Japanese. This also included a Summer 2023 release window for both regions, key art of the bachelors, and trailers in both languages. First, here's how the fandisk's key art will look. From left to right, Lucien Neuschburn, Crius Castlerock, Zenn Sorfield, and Tyril I Lister. The heroine Anastasia Lynzel doesn't appear.
Here's the first trailer. It's under a minute and suggests that Even if Tempest: Drawing Connections could involve epilogues. Fandisks for Switch otome games such as these tend to involve side stories set after specific character's routes. The original Even if Tempest is not only an otome game, but is also something of an adventure and investigation game. Players must take part in trials and find a way to save the heroine's life and finding who wronged her while falling in love. Even if Tempest is available for the Nintendo Switch worldwide now, and Even if Tempest: Dawning Connections will show up on the console in Summer 2023.

The Twitter account for Goddess of Victory: Nikke seems to have teased an upcoming collaboration between the game and NieR Automata. While the tweet did not straight up announce it, there is a short video in which the "Ni" in Nikke changes to the "Ni" from NieR Automata. Not only is the font the same, but there is also a gear replacing the dot on the "i." https://twitter.com/NIKKE_japan/status/1649380752164007936 The hashtag "Nikke half anniversary" is included in the tweet, which means that this collaboration might happen soon. As a reminder, Goddess of Victory: Nikke will celebrate its half-anniversary on April 27, 2023. So if it will reveal more details about the NieR Automata collaboration, that's likely around when we can expect it. Characters who will appear in the NieR Automata collaboration event in Nikke will likely be 2B and A2. They are the most prominent female characters in the game. In the actual NieR Automata game, the two fought using melee weapons and their ranged weapon option was their Pod. But they'll likely use guns in Nikke, much like how Power and Makima did even though they never really used guns in their native Chainsaw Man. Goddess of Victory: Nikke is readily available on Windows PCs and mobile devices. More information on the NieR Automata crossover event will come out soon.

There are two versions of the headset that you can buy, but no matter which one you purchase, you will receive a free postcard of Ryu and Chun-Li. [Thanks, Famitsu!] These Street Fighter 6 headsets are Sony's INZONE H9 and the INZONE H7. The H9 has noise-canceling technology, and the H7 is just a standard wireless headset. The Street Fighter 6 INZONE H9 will cost 38,500 JPY (around $286.70), and the INZONE H7 will cost 22,000 JPY (around $168.85). Both of them are white, and the Ryu and Chun-Li designs are a golden yellow. It does not seem like the headsets are available on the North America Capcom or Sony stores. Since eCapcom does not offer international shipping, though, overseas customers will have to employ the use of a proxy service or wait to see if it'll appear in the west some time in the future. Street Fighter 6 will come out on June 2, 2023 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. The Sony INZONE H7 and INZONE H9 Street Fighter 6 headsets are available for pre-order via eCapcom and they'll also come out on June 2, 2023.

Even those unfamiliar with or new to the VTuber scene have likely heard of Hololive's Gawr Gura. The diminutive shark girl currently boasts over 4 million YouTube subscribers and appeared in mobile games and even briefly in a Taco Bell commercial. But for those who want to know more, here's the rundown on the Hololive VTuber, Gawr Gura. Originally debuting in 2020 as part of Hololive's first EN generation Myth, she was joined by Mori Calliope, Amelia Watson, Ninomae Ina'nis and Takanashi Kiara. Just a month after debut she reached a million subscribers, becoming the first English-language VTuber to do so. Eventually, she even surpassed industry pioneer Kizuna Ai in subscriber count. In late 2022 Gura announced a health-related break and although she has returned to active streaming, her schedule is more sporadic. She quickly became known for her singing, performing multiple karaoke streams and releasing two original songs. "Reflect" and "[Q]." The latter of which was a collaboration with gen-mate Calliope Mori and music producer DECO*27. Her passion for rhythm games also resulted in official collaborations with Groove Coaster: Wai Wai Party and Bang Dream! Girls Band Party. Horror games and Minecraft collaborations also appear frequently on her channel, along with one-off streams of a variety of games like Fifa 23 or Fortnite. Gura's original VTuber model was drawn by Amashiro Natsuki, who herself streams under the name Nachoneko. Gura has since gained three more outfits drawn by Amashiro: a casual outfit with cat ears, an atlantean dress and a new year's kimono. Her official 3D model debuted alongside her appearance in Hololive's animated skit series, Holo no Graffiti. Before that she made use of both a 2D and 3D model designed by community artist Walfie. You can watch the music video for her original song "Reflect" below: [embed]https://youtu.be/nCQ_zZIiGLA[/embed] You can find more videos from Gura on her Youtube channel here, and check for updates on her twitter here.

The days are getting longer and the weather is getting hotter, but Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly brings with it that sweater weather comfort. It is a slow-paced and comfy game that combines the visual novel and brewing simulator genres. As a game that mostly centers on its characters, it stands to reason that they're all very likable. For better and for worse, the strong writing really hammers home just how West Coast everyone is. The premise of Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly is more or less the same as the first game. You play as the owner of the cafe Coffee Talk, where beings both natural and supernatural gather and, well, talk. Each character has a very distinct personality and goal, with connections that they forget either throughout the course of the game or already had from the last one. I actually never played the first game, but I never felt lost on who everyone was. The game did a great job introducing everyone in a very natural way. New additions aside from more characters are the hibiscus and butterfly pea teas. Incidentally, adding normal milk to a tea with dried hibiscus in it IRL is absolutely horrible. I cringed until I realized I was making lattes in the game. [caption id="attachment_960214" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Coffee Talk boasts beautiful pixel art and a wonderfully pleasing aesthetic, from the colors to the music. I unironically listen to this kind of "coffee shop music" sometimes when I work, so it was really easy to stay focused on the slow-paced story. The new "main" characters Lucas and Riona are really interesting from both a design and a narrative perspective. A little detail I liked was Officer Jorji making a dumb dad joke on the game's Twitter parallel, and Lucas (essentially a nice Paul brother) was the only person to like it. Jorji's posts don't tend to get a lot of likes compared to a lot of the other characters. So Lucas liking Jorji's bad joke endeared me to him after his somewhat rambunctious introduction. [caption id="attachment_960212" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] One of the main themes in Coffee Talk 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly is what we leave behind in our lives. Lucas and Hyde's plots in particular really center on this. To my memory, I don't believe I've consumed a piece of media that had this as a main focal theme. It's an interesting one, especially in our current day, to tackle and the game does a great job on linking this theme with the anxieties that a young adult faces as they enter society. Everything always moves so fast and there is always a need for more. I keep bringing up Lucas and I don't even like him that much. But his line, "What's the point of being born if nobody is going to remember us?" really resonated with me. What legacy—tangible or invisible, permanent or fleeting—do you suppose you'll leave in this world? Clearly, the characters are the main selling point of the game. After all, the only thing you really do in it is watch their interactions. But there's something really inorganic about the conversations. Everyone feels overly considerate to the point that they no longer feel realistic, even though the characters themselves are. They all have their good points and their flaws, and their problems are ones that are definitely relatable. But there is no tension in any of the arguments or troubles since the characters all talk to each other or you in a way that goes so out of the way to not hurt any feelings that it's unnatural. Or supernatural, I guess you could say. [caption id="attachment_960213" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Jokes aside, it's pretty crazy how there is such a wide spectrum of personalities, yet everyone feels the same. This is because they almost all, barring vernacular and tone, talk in the same overly-sensitive manner. So the conversations can get a little monotonous, especially if you play multiple hours in one sitting. The lack of a common plot thread can add to that. While Hyde's issues of wanting a new job where he can make a mark (and have fun) can link up with Lucas's, it's a little hard to tell why we spend so much time with, say, Aqua and Myrtle. Silver and Amanda, despite their interesting premises, also kind of just faded into the background. So it sometimes feels like you're just reading a cute but ultimately "meaningless" short story. I suppose that's the true Seattle coffee shop experience though. [caption id="attachment_960211" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly is a slow and comfy game with legitimately interesting subplots and a beautiful aesthetic. It's one that feels the most enjoyable in short bursts rather than a long marathon. For those who wish solely to experience the brewing factor, there are modes to experiment with the various ingredients and create drinks based on customer demands. There's not much of a time attack, so it feels very casual, much like the rest of the game itself. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC.

Nintendo showcased Kizunabilities, a new character growth system that uses Kizuna Points (or Affinity Points) in the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed DLC. Affinity Points can be obtained by visiting new locations, meeting new characters, helping people with their side quests, or completing the Collectopaedia and Enemypaedia. https://twitter.com/XenobladeJP/status/1649292716063494146 In the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed DLC, players can use Affinity Points to unlock Kizunabilities. The name for Kizunabilities is a combination of the words Kizuna, which means Bond or Affinity, and Ability. By spending Kizuna Points (Affinity Points), players can enhance and acquire new Arts, increase stats, and gain new passive abilities. Nintendo shared a video showcasing some of A's early abilities in the game. Some of these allow A to heal HP with each auto-attack dealt, as well as increasing A's attack power after every time an ally's healed. Affinity Points are also shared by the entire party, so choosing whose abilities to unlock will factor in this mechanic. https://twitter.com/XenobladeJP/status/1649293305161879553 Nintendo recently revealed that the Community Board, Collectopaedia, and Enemypaedia will return in Future Redeemed. Completing the Community Board, finishing side-quests, and completing the Collectopaedia and Enemypaedia will grant Affinity Points to grow the party members and unlock Kizunabilities. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is immediately available for the Nintendo Switch. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed releases with Wave 4 of the Expansion Pass DLC on April 25, 2023.

HoYoVerse announced that a new Genshin Impact live wallpaper of Shenhe is available. It is called "A Scattered Rainbow Over Spring Dew." People who get the N0va Desktop free application can immediately acquire and apply it. However, this wallpaper only works with PCs and isn't accessible on mobile devices. Here's the official announcement, which offers a better look at the design and link to the program. It features Shenhe in the Liyue region. She's looking skyward and holding a polearm, and she'll occasionally move while the user watches.
This actually comes after Shenhe's recent rerun banner in Genshin Impact. During 3.5, people could pull on the banner and get her again. That ended on April 11, 2023. It's actually been quite a while since a new Genshin Impact live wallpaper appeared. In February 2023, HoYoVerse released one of Ayato. It featured him at his family's estate in Inazuma. Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices. N0va Desktop is available for PCs and mobile devices.

Eric "Concerned Ape" Barone took to Twitter to share hand-drawn concept art of the Stardew Valley Community Center. The early image is from a journal and is drawn in pen. It focuses entirely on the Junimo, the spirits who appear in the center, and assist the player. Here's the official image. The text not only shows them, but what looks like an early Junimo hut. The text reads, "What do they do with the bundles? Maybe return them to their proper place for you or bring them to their hits. Then when you've completed a broad-goal, they bring out a glowing star and add it to the plaque." There's also an early description for them that says, "Nature spirits who took the C.C. as their home after it got abandoned. They leave after its complete."
In Stardew Valley, the Community Center is a driving force. People either visit it or the JojaMart Warehouse to complete objectives and earn rewards that alter the appearance of the world and grant rewards. For example, if you manage to get all of the 28 items for the various bundles in the center's Crafts Room, you can get access to the game's Quarry. As a reminder, more Stardew Valley is on the way. Concerned Ape confirmed a 1.6 patch is in development. It will feature both more modding support and additional content. Stardew Valley is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PCs, mobile devices, and the PlayStation Vita, and the 1.6 update is in development.

Riot Games expanded it's reach not only into television with its hit series Arcane, but also through the release of games spanning different genres. The Mageseeker - A League of Legends Story is one such game, as it stars Sylas of Dredgebourne and focuses on his mission to create a band of mages to overthrow the oppressive nation of Demacia. Those unfamiliar with the character may be wondering who is he, and what his importance in the world of Runeterra is exactly. One of the key political players, Sylas represents a shift in Runeterra as he stokes the fires of rebellion. Born in a lower quarter of Demacia, a shining city of white stone, Sylas lived among the lower class. When he began to show signs of being a mage, his parents surrendered him to the Mageseekers. The Mageseekers are an organization within Demacia that hunt mages down, imprisoning them due to the inherent distrust of magic due to the Rune Wars that happened some years prior. Sylas' talent involved being able to sense magic in other mages, and he was used to effectively sniff out his own kind. However, during an attempt to capture a young girl that had been revealed to be a mage, Sylas tried to intervene and learned that his ability to sense magic was not his only gift. By touching her, he was able to channel her magic through him which caused both the girl and his Mageseeker handler to die. Young and afraid, Sylas ran from the scene only to be apprehended and then imprisoned by the Mageseekers. There he was tortured and experimented on for years. Though fate had other plans for Sylas. Drawing the attention of Lux Crownsguard, sister to Garen Crownsguard, he was able to learn more about the stone shackles that bound him, and this specific stone's significance to Demacia. Bound in petricite, the shackles on his arms didn't only repress his natural affinity for magic, but stored the energy inside of it. But before Sylas could escape, he was sentenced to death. Here is where things get a bit muddled, since Riot Games has told this story over several mediums. Some canon states that Sylas was to be hung or to be beheaded. The official Lux comic series goes with the beheading, where the young mage Lux runs to his defense, only for him to reach out and touch her. Using her power he kills everyone present at the beheading, save for Lux, before he fights his way through the city in an attempt to assassinate the ruling monarch, Jarvan III. Sylas of Dredgebourne is one of several major characters in League of Legends from Demacia. And while his characterization and the details of his subsequent escape can sometimes be inconsistent, he's a character that has brought a massive shift into in-universe events. The Mageseeker - A League of Legends Story could potentially elaborate on what is next for Sylas, outside of a short story that has put him in the Freljord, as it focuses more on him gathering the necessary forces to fight back against Demacia and free mages living under the oppressive rule of the monarchy. League of Legends is immediately available for PCs. The Mageseeker - A League of Legends Story is on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

The first Dead Island games were partly known for the great fun that smashing through zombies was, and Dead Island 2's combat doesn't disappoint.
