The Xbox One stumbled out of the gate when it launched back in 2013. But in the decade since, it's become a bit easier to appreciate Microsoft's ambitions and foresight with its third console.

With 2015's Batman Arkham Knight the last we saw of the universe until next year's Suicide Squad, it's nice to know that the door is open to further expand the universe.

     Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 release date window, latest news

When is the Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 release date? Well, that's a question we've been asking for a long, long time. As the next instalment in Seattle's ongoing saga of strife and exsanguination gets a new developer and release window, there's a lot to get excited about. Arise Kindred, there's blood to be spilled and a power vacuum that's in desperate need of filling.

One creator of Cities Skylines 2 mods has pulled their work from various stores, explaining that the community for the Paradox and Colossal Order building game has "become overrun with anger and hatred" and is "hostile to developers." Following its original launch, CS2 faced criticism owing to technical issues and performance problems, as well as some changes to the gameplay and simulation as compared to Cities Skylines 1. Colossal Order has since released a series of Cities Skylines 2 patches to address players' concerns, but one modder is removing their creations in protest of the "toxic" CS2 community.

You want to create the ultimate city, with a happy populace and a healthy economy, but how do you plan without first knowing how much room you have to work with?

What is the best Tyr Snake Shot build? Do you know what's better than one handheld shotgun? Two handheld shotguns. The Tyr is a handgun that hits hard, has range, and a high skill ceiling to use effectively - unless you add a certain type of ammunition that transforms it into a powerful, short-range, shotgun.

The current Warzone meta is skewing towards ranged weapons. The best BAS-B loadout is dominating firefights, and the best Warzone snipers are making a comeback, with the KATT AMR able to eliminate foes from eye-watering distances. All of these ranged loadouts need a solid secondary, though, and that's where the Tyr comes in.

     Redfall is the most abandoned game of the year, thanks to Game Pass

Redfall was always going to struggle. The vampire co-op game from Dishonored and Deathloop creator Arkane arrived at precisely the wrong time. Published by Bethesda, it was bound to be overshadowed by the-then upcoming Starfield. Coupled with bugs, some weak mission and map design, and the unenthusiastic first reviews, even though it's a great time with friends and has some smart ideas tucked away in its later hours, Redfall was doomed to fail. Now, according to new data, Redfall has become the most abandoned game of the entire year. Alongside Atomic Heart, Wo Long Fallen Dynasty, and Minecraft Legends, which also appear on the most quit list, it seems Game Pass releases have a high retirement rate.

     The best adventure games on PC 2023

What are the best adventure games on PC? From 1976's text-based Colossal Cave Adventure - where we get the genre name from -to the point-and-click golden age of the early '90s and up to more modern fare, few genres have endured as well as the adventure game. That multi-decade lifespan has produced some of the most astounding titles, so narrowing down a list of the best adventure games is undoubtedly a struggle.

Adventure games have prospered thanks to a focus on a well-developed story and setting and a cast of memorable characters. That, and a few tricky brain teasers, as opposed to violence, set the genre apart. Your protagonist usually gets by through talking or thinking rather than resorting to fighting, though Full Throttle protagonist Ben might have a few things to say about that. These are absolute classics and are some of the best PC games ever.

Multiplayer shooters have become defined in recent years by the methods they use to withhold power from players, whether that's a hero shooter's unlocks and battle pass or a survival shooter's vast map of scattered goodies. Even before these systems became du jour, however, shooters often required you to be good at them before you unlocked their real pleasures, whether by perfecting your rocket timing in Quake or memorising level layouts in Counter-Strike.

The Finals' real master stroke, I think, is that it has found a design that lets it be generous with power - even while containing an unlock system, a battle pass, and a not insignificant skill floor. Those things aren't an obstacle between you and the childish joy of smashing the world to bits.

Bleach We Do knot Always Love You novel audio book rukia renji

Shueisha made a couple of announcements related to Bleach during Jump Festa 2024, and one of them is available immediately. The first announcement covered the launch of an audiobook based on a 2016 Bleach novel that covered the marriage of Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai. The second one revealed a new rock musical show that will appear again after an eight-year hiatus.

The novel audiobook brings voiceovers and sound effects to a part of Bleach: We Do Knot Always Love You. Shueisha originally published the novel in Japan physically in December 2016 and digitally in January 2017. It features new voices by Fumiko Orikasa, Kentaro Ito, and Ryotaro Okiayu, who reprised their respective roles as Rukia, Renji, and Byakuya. Ayako Kawasumi also provided narration for the audiobook.

The Bleach Rukia and Renji audiobook, which runs for almost sixteen minutes, is available to view on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuefWTdZjaA

At the same event, Shueisha also announced that the Rock Musical Bleach ~Arrancar the Beginning~ stage show will appear in 2024. The Rock Musical Bleach series launched in 2005 with over ten shows released across the years, but the last show before this announcement was held in 2016. The rock musical show series will thus make its return after an eight-year hiatus.

A teaser trailer for the new rock musical show is also available on the series' YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg9aEX7Sdk4

The original Bleach manga concluded in August 2016 after a fifteen-year run that started in August 2001. However, its anime adaptation is still in ongoing production to catch up with the manga's storyline. Studio Pierrot is working on the third part of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime, which will air in 2024.
