     Where to find the Diablo 4 Harlequin Crest

How do you get the Harlequin Crest in Diablo 4? The Harlequin Crest is a unique helm in Diablo 4. It's one of the more desirable in the game as it's usable across every class. Its bonus gives you significant damage reduction for any hits you take and an additional four ranks to every skill. Suddenly, the entire skill tree is at your disposal, enabling otherwise impossible builds the chance to flourish.

However, finding the D4 Harlequin Crest is no simple task. After all, it's a unique item, the highest of all the Diablo 4 rarity levels.

     Diablo 4 streamer loses 172-hour character on loading screen

Watching Diablo 4 streamers die in the game's hardcore mode is a strange feeling. Predominantly, it's a moment of shared sadness and empathy; thousands of people all crying out at once as an on-screen avatar is silenced. But there's undoubtedly a little delight in there, the sweet sense of Schadenfreude that at least it didn't happen to you. Unfortunately for Diablo 4 streamer Quintin Crawford, he might have just racked up one of the most heart-wrenching deaths recorded in the RPG game to date.

     All Counter-Strike 2 maps confirmed so far

The Counter-Strike 2 maps have been truly transformed with the implementation of the Source 2 engine, resulting in a variety of visually stunning environments. After weeks of speculation, Valve has peeled back the curtain on its hotly anticipated FPS that has been under development for three years.

Counter-Strike 2 is a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, reusing a number of important elements that fans know and love such as CSGO console commands and the CSGO ranks system. While the free PC game retains the same competitive energy, Valve has put a fresh coat of paint on maps and visuals. Here are the confirmed Counter-Strike 2 maps we know about so far.

     Genshin Impact outfits – available skins and costumes

Want to know what Genshin Impact outfits are available? The outfits system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, following months of pleading from the community. These outfits give you the chance to dress your favourite characters in brand-new clothes.

As Genshin Impact characters are locked behind gacha mechanics in the free PC game, players were initially worried that skins may be sold using the same system. However, there are actually two methods to unlock skins: purchase the skin for 1,680 Genesis Crystals, or complete specific Genshin Impact events to unlock the skin for free. If you're unlucky enough to miss the event, free skins will make their way to the Character Outfit Shop in the future. Here's a list of every Genshin Impact outfit available in the game right now and how to get it for yourself.

     All Disney Dreamlight Valley codes June 2023

June 15, 2023 Codes checked in game to ensure they are still working.

After the latest Disney Dreamlight Valley codes to redeem for goodies in game? We've done some digging to make sure we've got the latest codes available from Gameloft. Codes weren't available in the Dreamlight Valley during its first few months, but with the festival of Foolishness now in swing, there are a whopping ten codes currently available, so read on to make sure you've claimed them all.

The Dreamlight Valley golden potato code was the first to come to the Disney game, and gives you just that, a golden potato. It doesn't even do anything yet, but the exciting news is that it appears to be part of a future Dreamlight Valley quest, so you'd better redeem this code while you can. Other codes have since been released with various celebrations, including the Dreamlight Park community challenge and the Festival of Foolishness, for which all the Dreamlight Valley codes can be found below.

The Honkai Star Rail version 1.1 update has added plenty of events and another five-star character in Silver Wolf, but HoYoverse has also just introduced a new chat feature to the anime game. Honkai Star Rail is full of small quality-of-life features that players wanted to see in Genshin Impact, but this chat option is an example of the opposite happening.

     Valorant tier list – the best agents for ranked Ep 6 Act 3

What are the best Valorant agents for ranked play? This Valorant tier list categorizes all of the game's agents based on their potential effectiveness in the average ranked match. The best agents in our book are those who are self-sufficient, yet have tool kits that blend well with others. Simply, this tier list is perfect for high-octane ranked Valorant.

There are 21 Valorant characters in March 2023, but not all of them are well-suited to tackle the current cut-throat pace of the game. In each episode, you'll see streamers and pro players favor different agents based on patch updates, toolkit tweaks, and more. Ranked Valorant, however, is different. It's much more unpredictable and chaotic, and for that, you need agents equipped with the right tools. As you're most likely playing with friends and can actually string some strats together, you won't spot hard-carry agents like Reyna near the top of our list, who might otherwise be strong for solo-queue players. That said, then, here's our Valorant agent tier list for ranked play.

     Soulframe release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and news

When is the Soulframe release date? The upcoming fantasy MMORPG from the creators behind Warframe has been on our minds since it was first announced in 2022. There is still little known about the project, other than that it is a beautiful open-world game est in a natural environment, and revolving around themes of climate change and environmental destruction, so of course we had to find out more.

After being hinted at via a trademark filing during the first half of 2022, the MMORPG game was officially announced during TennoCon 2022. From what we know so far, Soulframe seems to be going in a different direction to Warframe with its setting and gameplay, despite the name suggesting a connection, and we may have seen a hint regarding a potential early release window. With all this in mind, here's everything we know so far about the Soulframe release date and more.

     Skate 4 release date speculation, gameplay, and all the latest news

When it comes to the Skate 4 release date, it could be as soon as the end of this year. Despite there being some Skate 4 gameplay and even closed playtests, EA's upcoming revival is a rare case of a triple-A studio showing off very early in-development footage of a game - and we love it. However, this does mean that although we've seen plenty of Skate 4, we can also clearly see it's not ready yet. It's already been over a decade since the last Skate game, we can hold on a little longer.

The first Skate was among the most innovative skateboard games around, from its analogue control scheme and semi open-world game structure to its more realistic, less edgy representation of the skating scene. The development team behind Skate 3 was disbanded after its release in 2010, and the series' community has been consistently bombarding EA message boards with questions about the series and its potential return ever since.

Immortals Of Aveum is EA and Ascendant Studio's upcoming first-person shooter where, instead of propelling metal at high speeds, you're slinging magic with your hands. We got another good look at said magic slinging at this year's Summer Game Fest, which has seemingly resulted in several reports of it being like a wizardy Call Of Duty. But having played a 30 minute demo of it this week, I reckon it's nothing like COD at all, really. Instead, it's more like Doom / your other retro shooter of choice, but one that carries itself with a frightening seriousness. Sometimes, that's fine. There have been plenty of these smaller sorts of blockbusters that have successfully struck the right balance of silly to serious, with the best ascending to a place of endearment. But so far, Immortals Of Aveum hasn't filled me with hope that it'll join the likes of Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, or like, The Darkness, as a twinkling beacon of silly fun.

I'm sure that describing Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor as a mix of Deep Rock Galactic and Vampire Survivors sounds like it's betraying a terminal lack of imagination. But, come on, look at it. It's a top-down autoshooter/bullet heaven where defeated beasties drop XP blobs that fuel an escalating series of weapon and stat upgrades, playing out in the whimsical sci-fi/fantasy/corporate nightmare universe inhabited by DRG's dwarves. "It's a mix of Deep Rock Galactic and Vampire Survivors" is the most apt and succinct description that currently or will ever exist for it. So there.

And yet, being derivative doesn't always preclude the opportunity for bloody good fun. I've played just over three hours of a very early Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor build, and while it's both missing some parts and could benefit from the odd tweak, it's already capable of pumping out dopamine as efficiently as any established VampSurvs-alike.

There are old games that are plain too hard to get into now, even I have to concede. Ancient ruins of a house to be admired and contemplated, but not fit to live in. The ceilings are too low, the stairs too narrow, the pipes an afterthought. Jagged Alliance 2 isn't that far gone, but it's getting there. It gives lots of options for fine control but using them is largely gated behind esoteric, repetitive keyboard shortcuts, which get doubly cumbersome during its awkward transitional moments between real and turn-based movement.

It's about leading a group of mercenaries to overthrow the tyrannical queen of a fictional island. A guerrilla warfare sim with great strategic freedom and probably the best turn-based tactical combat ever, all buoyed away from self-seriousness by a campy, irreverent tone and intentionally over the top characters.

What I'm saying is: it's still worth it.

Dambuster Studios have offered up a rough roadmap of what we can expect from the pair of upcoming Dead Island 2 story expansions. The first of the two expansions, titled Haus, asks the question, "How does a billionaire prepare for the zompocalypse?" and answers that with "a techno-death cult with a healthy splash of debauchery and gore!". Sounds about right. This first expansion has quite a vague release window, expected to launch some time between October and December this year.

I've said it once, and I'll say it several times again. I'm exceedingly pumped for Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown - and so is Prince Of Persia creator, Jordan Mechner. When I visited Ubisoft Montpellier at the end of May, one of things game director Mounir Radi told me about during my visit was how relieved he felt after showing Mechner a very early prototype. And in speaking to Mechner earlier this week about how he feels about The Lost Crown now, he tells me that "what I've seen so far of their modern 2D Metroidvania take on [Prince Of Persia] has got me excited and very eager to play."

Much as I adored Theme Park, it's a bit of a weird game to have inspired so many descendants. The latest is Park Beyond, and for the most part it's exactly what you'd expect. Build rides to attract crowds, shops to fill their stupid mouths, doctors to treat the vomitous and cleaners when the doctors were too late. Punters pay to use any ride, they pay for entry, for toilets and cash machines, and for every item you price in every shop.

That's as close as it gets to micromanagement, unless you count finely tuning the position of every rock, shrub, and decorative roof panel. It's more Planet Coaster than the cynical money grubbing of Theme Park, so if you're here for rollercoasters that do stunt jumps over canyons, it's mostly good news.

Last week Tuxedo Labs unveiled their snazzy-looking Creative Mode in Teardown, and it's available for you to play right now. The new mode joins the game as part of its 1.4 update, and looks to be all about what it says on the tin - being creative! Essentially, the big thing it lets you do is build your own unique voxel structures by, essentially, painting them in the air. Think of it as a sort of paired back, voxel-focused approach to a piece of 3D modelling software like Blender.

At every single video game thing I've flown out to, there's been a Sonic game. The speedy hog is forever occupying a booth and starring in some new-fangled thing, which oscillates between a 2D sidescroller laser-targeted at old-school fans, or 3D ones like Frontiers that try their utmost to push the series forwards.

So, I've gone and played another Sonic haven't I? This time I spent around 15-minutes with Sonic Superstars at this year's Summer Game Fest, a new 2.5D sidescroller that seems to successfully combine the feel of Sonic Mania with a modern art style and some new tricks. If you like old Sonic games, there's no doubt in my mind you'll love it. If you don't, there's no doubt in my mind you'll think it's agony.

The latest update for Steam is here, bringing with it a number of quality of life changes and a slightly updated look. Valve announced the desktop update back in April, where the new version has been in beta for some Steam users to try out. In Valve's post from yesterday announcing the update is available for all, it did note that the "most impactful changes in this update aren't immediately visible," as a lot of the work put into the update was today with how it "[shares] code across the Steam Desktop Client, Big Picture mode, and Steam Deck." According to Valve, these changes should mean that future features should be more quickly implemented and iterated upon.

Like a Dragon 8 Name Explanation

The director of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio explained the meaning of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's Western name. In a message on Twitter, Masayoshi Yokoyama went over the difference between the Japanese and English titles. He also confirmed that it is the eighth main game in the series.

The game will be called Ryu ga Gotoku 8 in Japan, continuing the numbering system of the series. However, the name change to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth in the West was due to new fans coming to the series through the previous main game, Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The subtitle, Infinite Wealth, is directly tied to themes within the game. However, Yokoyama kept quiet about what that means for now. He also pointed out the infinity symbol also appeared in the game's teaser trailer in 2022.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth was recently shown off in a new trailer at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase. It featured protagonist Kasuga Ichiban washing up naked on a beach in Hawaii and alarming other beachgoers. It will follow a side game, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, which also got a new trailer at Summer Game Fest.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will release for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4 and PC in early 2024.

Nic Cage Hideo Kojima

Metal Gear Creator Hideo Kojima shared photos of himself with actor Nicolas Cage at the Kojima Productions studio in Tokyo. Standing next to the statue of studio mascot Ludens, Cage can also be seen writing a message to Kojima and the studio team thanking them for the tour.

Kojima previously posted pictures of his meetings with other notable people on his Twitter, including Sony's Jim Ryan and Microsoft's Phil Spencer. While some will interpret the tweets as a teaser for a potential collaboration between the two, it is also entirely possible for it to have been a social visit.

Cage is known for his work in a variety of movies, including Face/Off (1997), Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse (2018), and National Treasure (2004). He is seen here wearing a mustard-yellow jacket and red sunglasses.

This is not the first time the two have been involved in the collision of  the Game and Movie worlds. Back in May, Nicolas Cage was revealed to be appearing as a playable character in Behaviour Interactive's Dead By Daylight. Meanwhile, Hideo Kojima is set to be the subject of a documentary releasing at the Tribeca film festival, and is involved with a Death Stranding movie being made by Hammerstone Studios.

Nicolas Cage's latest film Renfield released in the US on April 2023, and his upcoming appearance in Dead by Daylight will be detailed on July 5, 2023.

The Hideo Kojima documentary will be debut at the Tribeca film festival on June 17, 2023. His studio, Kojima Productions is also working on Death Stranding 2, which he teased some possible symbols late in 2022.

Special Persona 3 Reload Commercial Trailer Aired in Japan

There's a chance to see a bit more of the Persona 3 Reload remake due to a trailer that aired during a commercial break in Japan. Atlus announced that on June 15, 2023, it would air a new ad for the game once during a certain time block. The goal was to celebrate the announcement. While it did include some footage from the Xbox Games Showcase 2023 trailer, it also appears to show some new gameplay from the upcoming remake.

Here's the official announcement of the Persona 3 Reload trailer showing up a during break in Japan. It appeared between 7pm-9:48pm JST

This commercial isn't available on the AtlusTube Japanese YouTube channel. However, Faz uploaded the full trailer online, so we can see the new Persona 3 Reload commercial worldwide.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D49eeEwP7Hc&ab_channel=Faz

As a reminder, this isn't a remake of FES or Persona 3 Portable. This means the female avatar option and The Answer portion of the game will be absent, though some things from FES will be included apparently.

Persona 3 Reload is in development for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam. There's no release date yet. However, Atlus noted we can expect it sometime in early 2024.

Square Enix Support Uploads, Removes Star Ocean: The Second Story R Banner

It seems another classic Star Ocean game could return. The official Square Enix Support Center page shared, then removed, a logo for Star Ocean: The Second Story R. This only appeared briefly on June 15, 2023. No remake has been officially announced yet. [Thanks, RPGSite!]

As a reminder, ahead of this Star Ocean: The Second Story R leak, the game's appeared on a number of platforms. It first showed up on the PlayStation in Japan in 1998, with worldwide releases following. A Second Evolution PSP version in 2008 in Japan and 2009 worldwide. That version also eventually appeared on the PS3, PS4, and Vita in Japan.

This installment involved two storylines. People could follow either Claude, the son of Ronyx from the previous game, as he crash lands on a new planet called Expel or Rena, a woman from the planet. In each case, the party gets caught up in a world-spanning adventure to save the world.

We already saw one Star Ocean remake, though that was a few years ago. Square Enix released Star Ocean: First Departure R worldwide on the PS4 and Switch in 2019. That retold the story of Ronyx and Ilia as they encounter people like Roddick and Millie on the planet Roak to make a vaccine for a disease spreading on the planet that came from a person named Asmodeus in the past.

We could see Star Ocean: The Second Story R in the future. The game appeared on the PlayStation and PSP worldwide, then on the PS3, PS4, and Vita in Japan.

Atelier Marie Remake Interview

Soon, Gust is going to bring a classic Atelier entry to the west. Atelier Marie Remake is on the way. Ahead of its debut, Siliconera got to talk to Gust Executive Officer Junzo Hosoi about the development of this installment, its new quality of life features, and the chances of us seeing games like Atelier Elie and Atelier Lilie returning too.

Jenni Lada: When did work on remaking Atelier Marie begin?

Junzo Hosoi: We began development in 2021.

What sorts of quality of life adjustments did Gust consider when preparing Atelier Marie Remake? Which one do you think is most helpful?

Junzo Hosoi: We thought it was essential to add an in-game tutorial and an intermediate goal of "Professor Ingrid's Task" to guide the gameplay so that new or current game players can smoothly enter the game. "Professor Ingrid's Task" clearly states the minimum goal to clear so that even newcomers can play without hesitation.

How much did the actual game itself change between the original and the remake in terms of both gameplay and its story? Did this mean additional script adjustments or mission rebalancing?

Junzo Hosoi: The biggest change in gameplay is that you can now obtain items of your choice by gathering. At the same time, we have adjusted the balance of requests, battles, and number of days for synthesis.

As for the storyline, additional events to interact with the characters you can hire, as well as events in which the teachers evaluate Marie's performance have been added. There are few changes to the original storyline.
[caption id="attachment_968096" align="alignnone" width="1200"]Atelier Marie Remake Interview Image via Koei Tecmo[/caption]
Which more recent Atelier games influenced Atelier Marie Remake most?

Junzo Hosoi: I think it is Atelier Sophie 2, which was released last year, and Atelier Ryza 3, which came out this year. In order to bring Atelier Marie up to a quality suitable for the present day, the knowledge we have gained from these two works has been utilized in this one as well.

What led to the implementation of the Professor Ingrid's Tasks feature in Atelier Marie Remake and how does it work?

Junzo Hosoi: As the original version of the game had limited in-game instructions, some first-time players may be unsure of what to do. The idea was to make it easier to play by presenting short-term goals for such players. By having Professor Ingrid give you a task every six months, it is easier to know what you need to do next, and it makes it easier to play toward the ending. In Ultimate Mode, the deadline for these tasks can be ignored, making it easier to play for people who are not comfortable with the deadline system.

There are all new 3D character models for the Atelier Marie Remake. How did the original designs influence their new looks?

Junzo Hosoi: We created the characters to be cute in a modern style, while reproducing the character designs and pixel art features of the original work.

How did the team prepare it for a digital release on multiple platforms?

Junzo Hosoi: Since the foundation for multiple platforms has been laid with the past Atelier series, development and debugging for each platform was done pretty much simultaneously.
[caption id="attachment_968097" align="alignnone" width="1200"]Atelier Marie Remake Interview Image via Koei Tecmo[/caption]
What are your thoughts on Atelier Elie and Atelier Lilie? How would you feel about also eventually revisiting those games with possible remakes?

Junzo Hosoi: It is possible. One of our goals is to have the entire Atelier series, starting with Atelier Marie, available in the digital stores.

Now that Ryza's story's been told and we'll meet Marie again, what would you like to do next with Atelier games?

Junzo Hosoi: Based on the experience we've gained up to the Secret series and the feedback we've received from everyone, we will continue to take on the challenge of creating a new "Atelier."

Please look forward to the future development of the Atelier series.

Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg will release on July 13, 2023 on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC.
