During today’s Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, High on Life was revealed to be coming to Xbox Series S|X and PC in Oct. 2022. Interestingly, the game has been written and voiced by Justin Roiland, the co-creator behind the popular adult TV show Rick & Morty.

Go ahead and take a gander at the announcement video down below:

As you can see in the footage above, High on Life appears to be a bonkers blend of first-person adventure with shooting mechanics and a myriad of bizarre extraterrestrials who can talk.

From what we can gather, in this bizarre world, human beings are being sold as drugs (yep, you read that right), and you’re task is to stop the evil overlords from their drug-addled masterplan of world domination.

For more information, here’s an official description from the developer:

From the mind of Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites) comes High On Life. Humanity is being threatened by an alien cartel who wants to use them as drugs. It’s up to you to rescue and partner with charismatic, talking guns, take down Garmantuous and his gang, and save the world!

High on Life launches on Xbox Series X|S and PC in Oct. 2022.

One of the first few games appearing during the 2022 Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase is A Plague Tale: Requiem. It has a 2022 release window. It will also appear on Xbox Game Pass for consoles, PCs, and cloud gaming. A new trailer showed up as well, to give people an idea what to expect.

The game picks off where A Plague Tale: Innocence left off. In the first entry, Amicia and Hugo de Rune escaped France following the Hundred Years’ War. Amicia is still protecting her brother, who has an unusual power. However, now she’s more out for revenge and survival.

Here’s the new trailer:

A Plague Tale: Requiem will appear on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

The post See More of A Plague Tale: Requiem Ahead of Its 2022 Debut appeared first on Siliconera.

Today, at Microsoft’s big gaming showcase, the publisher showed off the long-anticipated next entry in its flagship racing series, Forza Motorsport. The new game doesn’t have a sequel number and is out Spring 2023.

The highly anticipated Hollow Knight sequel, Silksong, appeared at the Xbox Games Showcase with a snazzy new trailer, but the biggest news is it will be playable day one on Xbox Game Pass.

Announced back in 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong takes place in a haunted kingdom swarming with bugs. As insectoid creature Hornet, your weapon of choice is a needle. The gameplay is said to be largely similar to its predecessor, but with an increased focus on speed. The latest trailer showed off more of what to expect, with an impressive showing of the striking art style, swift platforming, and unique baddies. You can watch the trailer above to see what I mean. 

No release date was revealed for the Xbox and PC versions. 

Each Riot game will be coming with full unlocks or other extras, whether that's every Agent in Valorant, the Foundations Set in Runeterra, or select Little Champions in Teamfight Tactics.

While these games are already free-to-play, Agents, cards, and Champions are sometimes locked behind microtransactions. But for players with Xbox Game Pass, these purchases will become free.

The slate of Riot games was announced as part of the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase. Alongside the Riot titles, Xbox announced Hollow Knight: Silksong will be coming to Xbox Game Pass Day 1 and released a new trailer. For more, check out IGN's full rundown of the Xbox showcase.

Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios have revealed Forza Motorsport (that’s right – there’s no number attached to this entry in the franchise) with a beautiful trailer. 

Revealed during today’s Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, Turn 10’s latest motorsport game will hit Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC in spring of next year. The studio calls it the “most technologically advanced racing game ever made.” To highlight these technological advances, the team showcased Maple Valley, a fan-favorite track alongside news that the game will have a dynamic day-and-night cycle, a first for the Motorsport series.

Check out the reveal trailer for yourself below: 

Not to be confused with Playground Games’ Forza Horizon series, Motorsport is closer to a racing sim than it is an arcade racer, making it an especially great time for people who really like to get under the hood of the vehicles they race. To go with that, there’s plenty of environment tech happening in Forza Motorsport to simulate not just how the cars would drive, but how the time of day, the temperature associated with it, and more can affect the race. 

Check out this demo trailer for more information about that: 

It feels like there's been an awful lot of horror at this year's Game Fest thing in Los Angeles. Today Xbox got in on the act opening its showcase with a proper look at Redfall, the co-op shooter about blasting vampires and cultists.

Redfall's the work of Arkane Austin, and today's overview mixed up a bit of gameplay with a look at the playable characters. We start approaching a spooky church and then head up into the spire where vampires are leaping about. Shotguns and nice vampire-burning-up effects ensue, and then we're off to learn a bit about the town.

The titular Redfall is an island community in Massachusets apparently, but now the whole place has gone to heck. Vampires have blocked out the sun, drained all the water, and cut the town off. (Wouldn't draining the water do the opposite?) Expect spooky Americana, like a funfair and an old cinema which appears to have the wilderness growing inside. Expect Left 4 Dead-type action as you take on different enemy types.

Microsoft and Bethesda kicked things off during their showcase today to show off even more gameplay footage of Redfall, Arkane’s brand new cooperative first-person shooter title. It continues to look like a really solid shooter game, and you can check out the new trailer down below:

The trailer gives us a closer look at both the supernatural and human enemies in the game. The vampires do look genuinely terrifying, with the ability to block out the sun when they’re around. We also got a glimpse at various playable characters, including Jacob the sniper, and Layla, who’s been blessed with telekinetic powers.

Here are more details on each of the playable characters:

Squanch Games has announced High On Life, a new first-person shooter from the mind of Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland. 

Squanch Games revealed High On Life during today’s Xbox gaming showcase, and the first trailer for it highlights talking guns, alien cartels, and plenty of Roiland-style humor. It’s appropriately poppy and colorful, too, and it looks like a great time. Plus, we don’t have to wait too long to play it because it hits Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) later this year. 

“After a cartel of aliens invades Earth, a freshly minted high-school graduate grabs the nearest talking gun and becomes the deadliest intergalactic bounty hunter across the cosmos,” a press release reads. “The alien invaders in High On Life are on a mission to dominate Earth, but with a particularly sinister twist: Garmantuous and his cartel goons are intent on enslaving humanity and using them as a new drug.

“[Defeating] powerful aliens isn’t going to be easy; bounty hunters will work with (or against) NPCs, collect upgrades, and acquire an arsenal of talking guns on their journey. Each of these guns has its own unique personality and special gameplay, and they provide their own narrative take on what’s going on.” 

Microsoft showed off several minutes of gameplay for its upcoming co-op first-person shooter Redfall at today’s 2022 Xbox Showcase. The multiplayer game about freeing a New England town from demonic forces looks like it will have loot, class-based combat, and a few jump scares along the way.

Arkane Studio’s Redfall kicked off the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase with the first extended gameplay trailer.

The trailer sets the table for the adventure, which unfolds on the island of Redfall, Massachusetts. The idyllic town falls apart when residents disappear and, worse, become vampires. If that’s not enough, some survivors have taken to worshipping these night creatures as deranged cultists. Up to four players team up as a band of survivors who must fight back and escape Redfall with their lives intact. 

The crew consists of protagonist Layla, who wields telekinesis, the sniper Jacob, the engineer Remy (with a cute robot companion in tow), and cryptid hunter Devinder. The gameplay trailer shows how these four combine their abilities to combat hordes of undead, such as Layla creating a telekinetic elevator to launch an ally skyborne. 

Redfall releases in early 2023 for Xbox Series X/S and PC and will launch day one on Game Pass.

For Xbox, a lot is riding on its big not-E3 press conference. Right now, following a number of notable delays, the mega-publisher’s 2022 is devoid of any major exclusives.

Minecraft’s The Wild Update has brought in all-new blocks, biomes, and creatures. Longtime game players are excited for these latest additions, including the Sculk Shrieker found deep underground. Are you interested in learning about this block? Let’s find out how to use Sculk Shriekers and everything you need to know about this exclusive item.

What Are Sculk Shriekers?

First, let’s establish what Sculk Shriekers are. This block is an alarm system to summon the Warden when triggered enough times. Their most notable characteristic is their “shriek” sound once activated. Additionally, they can only be found at the Ancient City within the Deep Dark biome.

How to Use Sculk Shriekers in Minecraft

To use the Sculk Shrieker, you’ll need to trigger it at least four times to awaken the Warden. Jump on top of this block, and you should hear a distinct noise emitting from it. You can also walk around a Sculk Sensor, which is often nearby these blocks; they can detect player movements and send wavelengths to the Sculk Shriekers.

Once activated, the Warden will rise from the ground and attempt to kill you. There is a 10-second cooldown after you do this, and you won’t be able to summon other Wardens during this time.

As you venture into the Deep Dark biome, you may notice odd-looking plants that light up when you’re nearby. These blocks are known as “Sculk Sensors,” a mechanism that awakens the forceful Warden. So, how do you get and use these sensors in Minecraft? Let’s dive in to help you understand everything about this new feature.

How to Get a Sculk Sensor in Minecraft

You can find the Sculk Sensor in the Ancient City within the Deep Dark biome. Their blue appearance looks somewhat like a plant and will illuminate when you are near it. Use a Night Vision potion or place torches to have a clearer view of the area. If you want to obtain this special block, you can mine it with any tool as long as you have a Silk Touch enchantment (a Hoe is the quickest method.) They are also found within Ancient City chests.

How to Obtain the Secret Bushido Gear in Mario Strikers Battle League

The Bushido Gear set is a “secret” item because it is only available once the game is over. And even if you win every competition, you’ll still have to pay 300 Coins for each piece. However, if you are interested, here’s a guide on how to obtain this piece of equipment.

The artist behind the manga adaptation of Bakemonogatari, Oh! great, will take a three-month break to recover from an illness. The manga will start up again in the September 7, 2022 issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine. Oh! great did not reveal what sickness he has. However, Keisuke Itagaki of Baki-dou noted that Oh! great “tested positive,” so it is possible that he has COVID-19. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

Bakemonogatari is part of Nisio Isin’s Monogatari light novel series. The series also spawned multiple anime adaptations. It follows the story of Koyomi Araragi, who is a quasi-vampire and trying to live a normal life after surviving a vampire attack. However, he cannot stop becoming involved with the supernatural problems of the girls around him. Bakemonogatari is the first entry in the series.

As for Oh! great, he previously penned works such as Tenjho Tenge and Air Gear. He has worked on the Bakemonogatari manga since 2018. While the manga series covers the events of Bakemonogatari, Oh! great did incorporate Kizumonogatari into the work for readers to better understand certain characters. He also designed outfits and characters for video games. For example, he created and designed the design for Ashlotte for Soul Calibur IV.

The Bakemonogatari manga will start up again in September 2022 after Oh! great recovers from his illness.

If you’re in touch with Japanese mascots, you may know Sanrio’s lazy egg Gudetama. Soon, it will get a new animated show on Netflix.

The series, titled Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure, will air worldwide in 2022 only on Netflix.

The announcement was accompanied by a cute trailer, which you can watch below.

Here’s how the series is described by Netflix.

“A lethargic, empathetic road movie about finding one’s parents — for everyone who just wants to laze about! Having resigned itself to the fact that it will just end up on someone’s plate, Gudetama just wants to be lazy all the time. But, swept up by the go-getting, overbearing chick Shakipiyo, it leaves the refrigerator and heads out into the world. Together, these polar opposites go on an adventure to find their mother!”

Gudetama originally appeared in 2013 created by Sanrio’s designer AMY (Emi Nagashima) and has since become very popular, especially in Japan.

It was the protagonist of another animated series that debuted in 2014, and even has a mobile game titled “Gudetama Tap!”
