PCGamesN Tuesday, June 27, 2023 4:25 PM  Want to know what this week's Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon is? Each week you've got a chance at a different weapon for completing Nightfall Strikes, and ever since Season of the Lost, fan-favourite legacy weapons from the original Destiny has been added to the rotation. New seasons often introduce new weapons into the rotation, so it's more important than ever to know in advance the Nightfall weapon schedule. Nightfall: The Ordeal is a playlist available in the Vanguard menu, alongside the basic Strike playlist in the free PC game. Each week, a different Strike is chosen as the Nightfall, and offered in five escalating difficulties, with harder enemies, challenging modifiers, and enemy power levels cranking up. The coveted Nightfall weapons have a chance to drop from any Nightfall Strike difficulty, but it's far more likely at higher levels. Your best bet for farming each week's Nightfall weapon is to set the Strike to Grandmaster difficulty when such strikes are available if you have a fireteam up to the task.

They can help to reduce ping, give you access to easier lobbies, improve download speeds, protect you from DDoS attacks, give you access to regional exclusive content, and much more. While virtual private networks are known to slightly lower download speeds, that's not always the case. Internet service providers often throttle your speeds when you engage in bandwidth-heavy activities such as gaming, but since the best gaming VPN hides what you're doing from prying eyes, ISPs are none the wiser when you're connected to one. They also keep your IP address private, which is an important step towards maintaining your internet anonymity. However, not all VPNs are built equally, and free VPN services don't always provide what you need. Fortunately, you can offset the cost of the subscription by using the VPN to hunt for better deals on games that are cheaper in other regions. You'll get more for your money if you subscribe in bulk, as a year costs less overall than the monthly subscription - and if you're still not convinced, you can try them out with no strings attached, as some of them have a VPN free trial.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, June 27, 2023 6:27 PM  Cyberpunk 2077 expansion Phantom Liberty got a new trailer and a release date during this month's Xbox Games Showcase. If you watched Xbox's extended showcase a few days later then you would have seen more of the game and of one of its stars, Keanu Reeves. Let's assume you didn't watch that, though.

Their apparent disinterest in gunfights is especially felt in a game so into telling a story that it ends chapters with TV-length live-action episodes starring actual Lance Reddick.

Among Us is being turned into an animated TV show by CBS. The series is being led by Owen Dennis and Titmouse will be the studio handling animation duties. Innersloth, the original developers of the game, will also be overseeing the project. [Thanks, Variety!] The premise of the Among Us TV show will follow the game. There's a crew heading through space, and an imposter is hiding among them. No doubt there will be a lot of paranoia and baseless accusations thrown around as the cast figure out who is "sus." Owen Dennis will be acting as executive producer on the Among Us TV show. He's best known for the Cartoon Network series Infinity Train and previously worked as a writer on Regular Show. Titmouse, who will be handling the animation, previously worked on Star Trek: Lower Decks and The Legend of Vox Machina. The studio also worked on cutscenes for a few video games, including Hi-Fi Rush, Indivisible, and the Guitar Hero franchise. Among Us originally released in 2018 for mobile platforms and was later ported to PC. However, it wasn't until 2020 that Among Us exploded in popularity, largely thanks to Twitch streamers playing it during lockdown. Among Us is available now for iOS devices, Android devices, PCs, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X, and there is no currently announced date for the animated TV show adaptation.

Ahead of her addition to the Honkai: Star Rail cast of characters, HoYoVerse shared details abou Yukong's Character Ascension and Trace Upgrade Materials. As she is an Imaginary character like Luocha, there is some overlap for materials you'll need. However, many of them are typical Harmony path and Imaginary items. The Yukong Character Ascension Materials in Honkai: Star Rail can all be farmed already. You'll need the Golden Crown of the Past Shadow from the Shape of Mirage Stagnant Shadow at Jarilo-VI's Backwater Pass. It's next to the Space Anchor, and you may already have some if you started collecting them for Luocha or Welt. Also just like Luocha, she needs Artifex's Modules, Artifex's Cogwheel, and Artifex's Gyreheart. The Artifex's Modules is an enemy drop, Simulated Universe drop, and an Assignments item you can collect. You can combine it at the Omni-Synthesizer to get its upgraded forms. The Embers Exchange also carries a few Artifex's Modules each month. For the Yukong Trace Upgrade materials in Honkai: Star Rail, you need Artifex's Modules, Destroyer's Final Roads, and Harmonic Tunes and its upgraded forms. We already went over getting Artifex's Modules. The Echo of War Doomsday Beast fight drops the Destroyer's Final Road. All you really need to worry about is the Harmonic Tune and its upgraded Ancestral Hymn and Stellaris Symphony forms. The Crimson Calyx: Bud of Harmony is where you can get them. (You can also synthesize the lower grade ones into higher grade versions.) The Embers Exchange also carries a few Harmonic Tunes each month. Honkai: Star Rail is available for PCs and mobile devices. The PS5 version is in development and should be out before 2023 ends. Yukong will become a permanent part of the four-star pool of Honkai: Star Rail characters when the Luocha banner appears on June 28, 2023.

This unofficial PC mod sees the Sheikah scientist put down her research and head to the half-pipes to land some Japan Airs. As this is a community mod, this was not created with the permission of either Nintendo or Activision. [Thanks, KazuCrash!] The Purah mod was created by community member KazuCrash. The 3D model of Purah was created by Vile3D, who creates a variety of 3D models of characters. Purah's model replaces Chad Muska, a veteran skater who has been in every Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game to date. THUG Pro is an unofficial modded version of Tony Hawk's Underground 2 for PC. It was initially created to add content from other games in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Since then, THUG Pro has become a much larger modding platform for fans of the series. While Nintendo may not have had anything to do with Purah becoming a skater, the company confirmed new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom amiibo. Both Zelda and Ganondorf ones will be arriving in for the 2023 holiday period. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out now for Nintendo Switch. THUG Pro is available on PCs.

The second round of closed beta tests for Monster Hunter Now is about to begin. Niantic confirmed that invitations will be sent out to a select number of players who signed up. The first beta test period happened in April 2023. Players are able to sign up for the second beta test now on the official Monster Hunter Now site. You simply provide your email, date of birth, gender, and region. You will also be asked your device type, but the closed beta will only be available for Android users. This round of beta tests will be limited to 10,000 participants. It's also the final beta test, so if you're unable to get into this test, then you'll have to wait for the full game in September 2023. Monster Hunter Now is a game similar to Niantic's other big hit Pokemon GO. However, instead of catching Pokemon, players can find the likes of Rathalos in their neighborhood. Players can battle these monsters from Capcom's iconic franchise either alone or with a group of friends. This is the third video game franchise Niantic made an AR game out of, after Pokemon GO and Pikmin Bloom. They have also made similar games for Harry Potter, Transformers, Marvel and Settlers of Catan. Monster Hunter Now is set to release for iOS and Android in September 2023.

Good Smile Company will re-release Nendoroids of the six human members of the Phantom Thieves from Persona 5. You will be able to get the Phantom Thief Versions of Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Haru, and Akechi until July 27, 2023. They all cost 5,900 JPY or $40.99, depending on whether you buy through the Japanese or US storefront. Those in Japan will get them in November 2023 and those in North America will get them in Q1 2024. All of these Nendoroids are re-runs of previous releases. While the Joker and Morgana Nendoroids are not part of this batch, they're already available for pre-order. Those who want a second chance at the Persona 5 Joker or Morgana Nendoroid have until July 6, 2023 to put in their order for them. All of the Phantom Thieves will come with their masks, weapons, and firearms as optional parts. You can also use the cut-in sheet to recreate how summoning a Persona in battle looks. [gallery columns="5" ids="970533,970532,970531,970530,970529" link="file"] These are technically Nendoroids of Persona 5 The Animation, rather than the game. Since the anime did not adapt Royal, Kasumi and Maruki are not part of this batch. Good Smile Company doesn't even sell figures of Maruki, though the Kasumi Nendoroid is still in development. The Persona 5 Nendoroid re-releases will be available via Good Smile Company for pre-order until July 27, 2023. Persona 5 Royal is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC. The Persona 5 anime is on Crunchyroll.

The first character trailer for Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- is out and it's focusing on Assassin. The song that plays over the trailer is Sawano Hiroyuki's "FAKEit," which is the theme song for the OVA. Like other members of the Order of Assassins, she wears a hooded cloak, but she doesn't have the skull mask that other characters from the Order wears. You can watch the Fate/strange Fake Assassin trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBsNWF3wQDs Lynn voices Assassin and Tatsumaru Tachibana voices her Master, Jester Karture. Lynn has previously appeared as Miorine Rembran in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury and Azura in Fire Emblem Fates. Tachibana's previous roles include the Male Protagonist in THe Caligula Effect 2 and Jin Mori in The God of High School. Fate/strange Fake, which Ryogo Narita of Baccano fame wrote, centers on a fake Grail War in the United States. Because it's not the real deal, there are a lot of things that went wrong in it. For one thing, the Saber class is missing. The Servants are also not figures that would have made a mark on history significant enough for them to appear as summonable familiars in a normal Grail War. Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- will air on July 2, 2023. The post Fate/strange Fake Teaser Introduces Beautiful Assassin appeared first on Siliconera. |

There's a lot of ground to cover, including familiar environments and much more besides. Sometimes, however, finding a favorite location from the previous game can prove difficult.

However, thorough exploration revealed it was only a small portion of the overall game, known as the Great Plateau.
