Reisalin Stout will also be able to wear her Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout costume with the Deluxe Edition Season Pass.
The post Atelier Ryza 2 Digital Deluxe Edition With Season Pass Will Include Sophie Neuenmuller Costume appeared first on Siliconera.
Today, during a livestream from Korea, the local publisher of Final Fantasy XIV revealed a set of new costumes.
The set is called “Eorzea School Uniform” and it does exactly what it says on the tin with male and female versions.
The caveat is that the costumes will be released first in Korea on Dec. 8. It’s extremely likely that it’ll come to the western servers as well, but we don’t know when.
We can probably expect to know more down the line, but for now we wait.
You can check out a few screenshots and the concept art below.
If you’re an avid Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor fan, I have some bad news for you. Warner Bros. are removing all of its online features, so you only have until 31st December 2020 to enjoy them before they disappear forever.
Parents of RPS, good news: a lovely-looking game about a funny farm of silly talking animals is coming in time for you to put it on your kid’s Christmas laptop. Orwell’s Animal Farm will launch on December 10th, the developers announced today, turning Georgie Orwie’s picturebook into a game where you make decisions to determine the fate of the farm. I just know I’ll be best friends with the big ol’ shire horse, Boxer.
[cms-block], Black Smi-day, who needs to wait until November 27th when you’ve already got deals like Samsung’s 500GB 860 Evo already going on in the US for their lowest ever prices right now? As part of Amazon’s new ‘epic’ daily deals promotion, the 500GB model of our best SATA SSD recommendation can now be had for just $54, making it a much better buy than its $50 250GB sibling. Hurry, though, as this deal is today only and will be gone at midnight.
Riot Games announced that Ruined King: A League of Legends Story will come to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC early next year, marking the first time anything League of Legends related has come to consoles.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 has given us a number of amazing custom creations from fans building the skate parks of their dreams, from Spyro and Smash Bros to Super Mario Sunshine’s Delfino Plaza. Now, Redditor Skramblez is upping the ante by making Hogwarts Castle from the Harry Potter series into a true skater’s paradise.
Not only did Skramblez recreate the epic-looking magical castle, the THPS fan also created custom skaters resembling some of the characters from the book and film series--though the antics in the video seem more like something the Weasley twins would pull.
While the custom parks in THPS1+2 are limited in the amount of detail or scope that can be included, the Hogwarts park still includes a couple of epic towers, a few of the castle’s courtyards and, of course, the Great Hall, complete with the four house banners on the wall.
Halo 4 is the sixth and final game coming to PC through Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It's available now for testers, but the public release is still a little ways off. While we wait for that, developer 343 Industries has now shared gorgeous new images from Halo 4 on PC and informed fans a little bit more on what to expect when it arrives.
Starting with the images, the screenshots show off a few locations from Halo 4's campaign. The images had to be downscaled for publishing, but 343 tells fans, "trust me, it's glorious in 4K 60."

Windbound will expand with a trio of free major updates over the next few months. The first of three major patches is out now, and it contains some new stat-boosting skins, a photo mode, and and new endless mode for the survival game.
The new Witch Skins are made up of three items--the Witch's Hat, Witch's Outfit, and Witch's Staff--which give you a healthy stat boost when equipped. The hat makes potions last longer, the outfit gives you easier, closer respawns, and the staff is an unbreakable weapon that fires out enemy-seeking orbs after each melee attack.
Photo Mode, meanwhile, lets you pause the game and line up a photo, changing how Kara's posed and adding filters. It lets you change your position, camera orientation, and mess with field of view, exposure, and time, just as in most photo modes. You can also equip Kara with a variety of different hats and accessories, getting some nice shots of your adventures.

Now, one streamer has shown how difficult that task can be, with increasingly unrealistic copyright claims.
Twitch has had ongoing issues with DMCA this year, with its most recent wave of takedowns seeing the streaming platform sending a one-size-fits-all warning to streamers who had hosted infringing content. Twitch has since returned to sending out regular copyright notices, though they still aren’t helpful for streamers who want a long-term solution.
The issue has been illustrated by streamer Jake’n’Bake, who received a copyright notice over a snippet of a Kanye song appearing in a video from an IRL stream from 2018. As he points out, he never played the song himself, but likely walked past a business or person playing it.

This new Avatar game, which is in development at The Division studio Massive Entertainment, will now release during Ubisoft's financial year that begins in April 2022. The first Avatar movie sequel, Avatar 2, is scheduled for release in December 2022 after its own delay. It would make sense that the game will release around that time to capitalize on the hype, but no firm date has been announced yet.
The new delay for the Avatar game was made in response to the delay of the movie, Ubisoft management said on an earnings call.

It could be a big deal in the future, as the subscription model shakes things up in terms of the business of how people consume games.
Todd Howard, a veteran Bethesda executive who recently joined Xbox with ZeniMax's sale to Microsoft, has offered some thoughts on Game Pass--and he is optimistic about its ability to positively impact gaming.
He told GI.biz that Game Pass has the potential to help games succeed where they might not have otherwise.

House of Ashes looks like it'll incorporate elements of Sumerian mythology, and will feature Ashley Tisdale in a major role (presumably not as one of the "Ashes" that the house belongs to, though). It looks likely that she'll be one of the playable--and potentially killable--characters.
The trailer has not been officially released by Bandai Namco yet, but you can watch a capture from the finale of Little Hope below.
This is the same way that Little Hope was revealed, with a trailer shown at the end of Man of Medan. It's unclear which systems House of Ashes will come to, but the two previous games have launched on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
The Dark Pictures films follow on from Supermassive Games' earlier hit Until Dawn, which was a PS4 exclusive. The games that have followed have been shorter and featured multiplayer modes.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare continues to break sales records. Activision Blizzard has announced that the game's first-year sales are the highest in Call of Duty's history. However, the company did not provide an exact sales number.
That is a notable achievement given that the figure only covers up to September 30, so the game--which released in October 2019--didn't even need a full year to break the single-year sales record for the franchise. It's not immediately clear which title was previously the record-setter for first-year sales.
Activision also announced that two-thirds of Modern Warfare's lifetime sales were digital. That's good for Activision, as the company makes more money from digital game sales than boxed copies.

It’s not a long clip; that’s the point
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a PlayStation 5 exclusive, Insomniac has confirmed.
The developer responded to a tweet from someone wondering whether the upcoming platformer will be released on the PlayStation 4 as well as the PS5. It's answer is unequivocal.
Given Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart's use of the PS5's fast loading to instantly teleport the player to new worlds, the game would probably have to be significantly reworked for PS4. But some had wondered about the exact nature of its exclusivity given recent revelations about other PS5 games, such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon: Forbidden West, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure, which are also coming to PS4 when they were initially announced for PS5.
While the future of Silent Hills remains unclear and P.T. remains an unfinished journey, one Doom fan decided to carry on this horror adventure's legacy in a different way. Hideo Kojima's P.T. has seen many iterations since the demo was released, including mods meant to piece everything together to create a 'full' game. The latest fan to try their hand at solidifying this horror experience decided to recreate P.T. in Doom.
This isn't a total 1.1 remake but the P.T. Doom creation from Andrea Gori is still darn impressive. Every sequence has been recreated within Doom as close to the original P.T. experience as possible. The best part for those that love the retro feel of Doom, this experience looks incredibly accurate to the P.T. demo without losing the retro texturisation we are all so fond of.
Take a look at the walkthrough in the video below:

For those that have other mods active, it is important to keep an eye on what's compatible and what isn't. According to the creator, this experience won't be game-breaking with other mods as long as they are specifically using GZPT. Anything outside of that is liable to cause crashing and other breaking bugs.
Fortnite is inarguably one of the biggest games of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One generation. In fact, it was such an influential game and phenomenon that we called it generation-defining in our end-of-generation awards. Today, developer Epic Games detailed exactly what its iconic battle royale game brings to the next-gen consoles when it launches alongside them next week.
On the Xbox Series X/S side of things, players can expect 60 frames-per-second performance (even in splitscreen), with 4K resolution on the Series X and 1080p resolution on the Series S. The Xbox Series X version delivers dynamic visuals, with trees and grass responding to explosions, better simulations for smoke and liquid, and all-new storm and cloud effects. The Series S supports most of those enhancements as well, but Epic doesn't specify exactly which ones. The load times on both consoles are also significantly improved, delivering textures faster while also getting you into matches quicker.
Netflix's The Witcher season 2 is in progress currently after several major hiccups surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With a few firsts looks and a little recasting, the witchers have yet another surprise in store for fans: a new toy line from McFarlane Toys.
This isn't the first time McFarlane Toys has adapted the Witcher universe but the new additions will be specific to the Netflix series, a series set before the time seen with CD Projekt RED's adaptation. The news of the new line comes by way of Toys News International with confirmation that the new line will include a few figures, though which characters we'll see have yet to be revealed. We do have a spiffy teaser image though, one that includes the wolf and swallow symbol:
New Toys International
McFarlane Toys isn't abandoning the games though, don't worry. Just last month the toy company confirmed a few new additions to its Withcer line up, including Eredin and the new Gold Label series that is available now to pre-order.
Although Apex Legends isn't quite the streaming-chart-destroyer it once was (overtaking League of Legends at one point), it's still very regularly found on the top 10 Twitch stream list.
EA is riding that gamble all the way to the bank, as it remains one of the more popular battle royale titles in a sea of games that were dragged under the tide. Director Chad Grenier thinks it's here to stay too, noting that the game could even evolve to become more than just a battle royale title.
Speaking to Eurogamer, Grenier explains that Respawn has content planned "all the way up to Season 12," which is a full four seasons ahead of Season 8, which isn't due until 2021 (Season 7 hasn't even started yet). Once Season 8 is shipped, the team will start working on Seasons 13 and 14, he says; giving us a vague idea of how far ahead the team works.
He also clarifies that Respawn does "a lot of things to mitigate data mining," claiming that many other future bits of content could have been uncovered if they weren't actively fighting the practice. With that in mind, the director says that it's "fair game," even if the team is "bummed out" when content is spoiled.
Grenier says that "looking into the future, you're probably going to see the game becoming more than just a battle royale game." While that statement could be foreshadowing drastic change, the example Grenier gives in this context is the addition of more limited time modes "as a starting point" for what might come down the line. An arena battle gametype has been datamined, which might be what he's alluding to.
Can you believe it? We are less than 10 days away from the launch of a brand new generation of gaming. On November 10, Xbox will be first out of the gate with the launch of its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S hardware, promising power and technology like none we have seen from consoles before.
To mark the momentous occasion, Xbox has announced that it will be holding a special live stream to celebrate the new hardware's release. The stream will feature various "behind-the-scenes" segments, developer interviews, fundraising events, and "Let's Plays" with influencers and members of Team Xbox. Xbox has noted that this is not a "reveal show," and as such will not feature any new announcements. The stream is intended more as an online launch party for the Xbox community.
The action kicks off November 10 at 11:00 PT / 14:00 ET / 20:00 BST. You can watch along via the Xbox YouTube and Twitch channels. For more information about the event, check out the announcement over on the official Xbox blog.

features grime star Stormzy, not just as a piece of marketing material but as a quest giver. He’s been a big part of the hype of Watch Dogs: Legion, so fans are obviously excited to find and collab with him in-game. Here’s how to find Stormzy in Watch Dogs: Legion.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is smack-dab in the middle of Fall or Autumn as some folks would call it. Nintendo has released a short little trailer that showcases the villagers talking about their favorite parts of the crisp season and some other adorable things like a pleasant impromptu concert in the middle of the day.
We see a villager named Kevin mentioning how the temperature decrease is making him workout even harder; Beau can’t help but praise all of the different kinds of Fall pie, such as Pumpkin and Pecan; and then Poppy brings up the crisp breeze and how great it feels to feel the leaves crunching beneath your feet. Ahh, the Fall season truly is the best season.
You can check out the ‘Autumn Deepens’ trailer down below:

Today, during a livestream from Japan, Koei Tecmo revealed a new figure dedicated to its upcoming JRPG Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy.
The figure, portraying heroine Ryza herself, will come from Wonderful Works, which is responsible for the creation of a very popular figure dedicated to the first game (popular enough to get a second print).
For now, we get to see the unpainted prototype. Of course, it will be painted before the figure is actually manufactured. Incidentally, this may very well be the first figure announced for a PS5 game.
Seems like just yesterday we were all adjusting to the concept of “lockdown,” but it’s now become a full-on lifestyle. Fortunately, the output of new sci-fi and fantasy books is one thing that hasn’t slowed down—and November is full of adventures in deep space, chaotic kingdoms, other dimensions, and beyond.
When the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 consoles drop next week, so do new versions of Epic’s popular battle royale. Next-gen console Fortnite is prepped for launch, with 4K60 performance, faster loading, and enhanced visuals on each system.
XBOX SERIES S/X - STORE PRE-ORDERS Please come and pre-purchase your console from now until Wednesday evening. You will then be able to collect your console on launch day between 8am-2pm. Xbox All Access customers will be contacted directly tomorrow with further instruction.
