Bungie got famous making Halo, and while Halo is famous for a few things—grumpy little aliens, green jeeps, Gregorian chants—I think its most enduring legacy is the way it completely reshaped the idea of what a singleplayer shooter could and should be.

Two years ago I wrote a dumb post listing just how many Warhammer games had been released in the past few years. That post is now massively out of date, because there are so many Warhammer games coming in 2023-24 that Games Workshop was able to host their own damn show about it.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak - Animose Crossing Event Quest

Two new event quests are coming to Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak and this time one of them will make you face a pair of Magnamalos to get a special layered armor. In addition, players can test their might fighting against a Flaming Espinas and get special titles. Both quests are available on the Switch and PC via Steam.

Check out the new event quests announcement from the Monster Hunter Twitter account below:
https://twitter.com/monsterhunter/status/1661526649962369024?s=20

The first new event quest in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is "Animose Crossing," adding in an "Animal Crossing pun. In this Dual Threat one, you will need to fight against two Scorned Magnamalo in the Forlorn Arena. Defeating them will reward you with the Heavenly Silk crafting item. You can then head to the Smithy to craft the new "Bloodmalice" layered armor set that uses it.

This armor set features a design reminiscent of the Magnamalo, as there are certain details such as claw-shaped boots and gauntlets. It should be noted that this is not the same Sinister Seal layered armor that's unlocked using the Magnamalo amiibo, as it has a completely different design.

As for the new Hazard quest, it is called "Legendary Strike." It will make you fight a Flaming Espinas in the Forlorn Arena. Incidentally, both the Dual Threat and Hazard quests will require you to be Master Rank 10 or higher in order to accept them.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is readily available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The "Animose Crossing" and "Legendary Strike" event quests are already available for the Switch and PC versions.

Street Fighter 6

Right on time, Capcom shared another "how to play as" Street Fighter 6 character video, with Marisa as the newest star. The clip follows the usual pattern. This means the first parts focus on her general abilities and how to use her, then it zeroes in on a specific attack. In this case, it shows how someone could use "Scutum" in a match.

While the beginning of the trailer describes Marisa as a "powerhouse" in Street Fighter 6, the bulk of the video focuses on her Scutum attack. It shows how it can be used both as an aggressive move to attack an opponent, or as a reactionary one to punish someone as they try to attack her. At the end of the trailer, she performs a bridal carry on Ryu, showing it isn't an action reserved for Zangief.


The last "How to Play" video starred another Street Fighter 6 newcomer: Manon.

In addition to the "How to Play" Marisa video, two more Street Fighter 6 trailers appeared. One is a "Your Story" trailer. It focuses on character motivations and storylines, starting with Ryu telling his tale. It appeared during the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPEDfsHQL4k&ab_channel=StreetFighter

The other video is a launch trailer. It stars Lil' Wayne and features a number of gameplay clips set alongside real world segments with people engaging in Street Fighter-related activities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EnsDg6DCTE&ab_channel=StreetFighter

Street Fighter 6 will appear on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on June 2, 2023. It will also show up in arcades.
