     When is the next Dreamlight Valley update release date?

What is the next Dreamlight Valley update? Each new Dreamlight Valley update adds new characters, features, and quests to the life sim, and the roster of Dreamlight Valley residents has expanded so much already - and shows no signs of slowing down. Fans on social media have previously requested the likes of Cinderella, Belle, and Stitch, and with Cinders the only one missing now, we know Gameloft is listening.

Disney Dreamlight Valley has never been better thanks to the colorful life game's new characters and mechanics. Its vibrant community makes it even better, especially with more multiplayer functions being added, and a paid DLC brings even more biomes and residents to your valley if you want them. Even if you don't want to splash out on paid content, there are still plenty of new Dreamlight Valley recipes, characters, realms, and more added to the base game regularly, so here's everything we know about the next free Dreamlight Valley update.

     Remake is better, but the first Resident Evil 3 is finally hitting PC

Okay, cards on the table - I think Resident Evil 3 is the weakest game out of that original, '90s trilogy. It's still good. But Resident Evil 1996 and RE2 are much better. The problem is Nemesis. He's a great idea, a seemingly unstoppable monster that hunts and plagues you throughout all of Raccoon City, and can appear any time, but ultimately, it means almost every boss fight in Resident Evil 3 is the same, and after enough encounters, Nemesis becomes less scary and more frustrating. Resident Evil 3 Remake is the better game (more on why later), but with rumors swirling about RE9 and a new version of Code Veronica, it's very good news that the original Resident Evil 3 is finally coming to PC.

     Linkin Park are doing the 2024 League of Legends Worlds song

I can't quite stress the importance of the League of Legends Worlds song. It ignites the hype fire in your belly and soundtracks truly great esports action - it is the very definition of the word 'anthem.' Recent years, however, have stumbled, unable to shake the specter of 2014's Warriors, 2017's Legends Never Die, and 2018's Rise. While Gods was certainly a step in the right direction, I was hoping for a rockier sound in 2024. Turns out I've got it: the rumors were true, Linkin Park are doing the LoL Worlds 2024 soundtrack.

Spoilers throughout. TLDR: fun, generous, beautiful animation and cinematography. Worked mostly fine on my PC. I would not have given it the best narrative award if it were up against Gran Turismo 7.

Writing of the frigid framing of Clockwork Orange's atrocities, the film critic Pauline Kael asked: "is there anything sadder - and ultimately more repellent - than a clean-minded pornographer?" The lavishly directed and animated universe of God Of War Ragnarok is far from repellent, but it also feels spiritually squeegeed; a world of pulpy violence so chirpy and chaste as to strain belief that the scars that haunt its reformed anti-hero could have ever been inflicted there.

Earlier in the month, we learned that Stray and Neon White publisher Annapurna Interactive's entire staff resigned after a dispute with boss Megan Ellison. Reported by Bloomberg as a disagreement over attempts to "spin off the video-game division as an independent entity," the details were nonetheless somewhat scant. A new report from Rebekah Valentine at IGN has since shed some more light on the walkout, which reportedly involved "disagreements over the direction of the Interactive division, chaotic departures, communication breakdowns, and a perceived lack of leadership transparency." It's a thorough account of some messy events I recommend reading in full, but here's a brief rundown.

Raise your thumb if you've ever impaled it on a HeroQuest skeleton's scythe. Country's gone soft these days, I tell you. I've seen those new Heroquest skellies. You couldn't injure yourself on those scythes if you tried. It's polearm-ical correctness gone mad! Well, good news if you're nostalgic for a simpler time, where tiny scythes could maim you for life, and binary digits came in lots of eight and not a binary digit more. RPG Beyond Shadowgate is a vastly-expanded, modernised sequel to the classic NES adventure, created by the original's designers, and it just released last week.

This week's Maw, quantified: one compound eye with nine hundred and two quicksilver facets. One and a half wings with the texture of freshly peeled orange. Fifty tentacles, proboscises or flagella, some slender as cheesewire, some thick as a conifer. Ten sets of amethyst dentures shared by ten thousand mouths. One utility coat of muscles. One bowler hat. And now, an accompanying inventory of this week's most eye-catching new PC games.
