Today SNK released a new trailer and screenshots showcasing another fighter that will be playable in its upcoming fighting game The King of Fighters XV.
This time around we get to see another returning character, Kula Diamond, who was also present in The King of Fighters XIV.
We also learn that she’s part of Team Krohnen alongside Krohnen himself and Angel.
You can check out the trailer just below and see her in action, alongside a few screenshots.
You can rest easy now, as developers Raven Software has deployed a new update for Call of Duty: Warzone that includes a fix for the annoying invisible skin bug that has been dogging players for weeks. The new update also includes a tweak to the Firesale public event as well.
If you did not already know, the Awoken operator skin for Francis was causing problems by disappearing from sight at certain distances. It was not exactly uncommon to see just a floating head milling about, which is both scary and frustrating if you are trying to get a kill. This new update will hopefully remove that unfair advantage and level the playing field.
The Call of Duty: Warzone update also adjusts the duration of the Firesale event, which will now last for the entire duration of the respective circle that it starts with instead of just a brief period. Now you can enjoy discounts as long as you are in the right spot.
In addition to the two main updates, Raven has also implemented fixes for collision issues that allowed players to shoot, exploit, or peek through certain elements in Caldera, as well as preventing every Loadout Drop from spawning at the same XY coordinates.
You can catch the full updates notes for Call of Duty: Warzone courtesy of Raven Software below:

DMM and Koei Tecmo released another trailer of their upcoming Musou game Touken Ranbu Warriors.
The trailer introduces another of the playable characters that we’ll find in the game, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, including both gameplay and cutscenes. It’s the latest of a series of trailers introducing several characters, on top of Ichigo Hitofuri, Namazuo Toushirou, Hyuuga Masamune, Heshikiri Hasebe, Yagen Toushirou, and Tomoegata Naginata.
He’s voiced by Soma Saito, whom you may know for his roles as Chongyun in Genshin Impact, Ike-P in The Caligula Effect, and Lann in World of Final Fantasy. He also voices Namazuo Toushirou in Touken Ranbu, including this game.
You can check the trailer out below.
Following the release of Version 2.4 of Genshin Impact, developer MiHoYo published a new trailer featuring one of the new characters that came with the update.
This time around unlike the previous trailer that showcased Yun Jin’s backstory, we take an in-depth look at the opera singer’s gameplay and her moves.
You can watch the trailer below.
“The people of Liyue love listening to Liyue opera, and the fans are always impressed by the singing and acting skills of the renowned opera singer Yun Jin. They are in awe at Yun Jin’s graceful fights on stage, but do not know that her skills with the spear are real enough to defend against her foes.”
If you want to see more of Genshin Impact, you can take a look at the first gameplay and plenty of details of version 2.4.

Hello! We're going to start the year off with a handful of pieces looking forward to 2022. Sometimes we'll be looking at trends we've spotted or themes that will probably be continuing to define things in games for a while. Sometimes we'll just be thinking about things we've enjoyed and where they could lead. Have a lovely new year all!
Never underestimate the power of a game about words. It's 2022 and the game of the moment is a game about words. Every morning, first thing, we pick up our phones and try to play Wordle. Five letters. What's the word? Get the word wrong at first, but maybe find out you've got the right letters - maybe some of them in the right place too. Then it's deduction, but it's also vocabulary! Argh! Wordle! What are you doing to me?
The director of Days Gone has said "local studio management always made us feel like it was a big disappointment", and called Sony's decision not to greenlight a sequel "weird".
Reacting to the news that Sucker Punch's PlayStation exclusive Ghost of Tsushima has now sold over 8m copies, Days Gone director Jeff Ross said that when he left Sony in late 2020, the zombie game had already sold over 8m copies - and it has since gone on to sell even more, plus over a million sales on Steam.
Pokemon that you can buy include Garchomp, Lucario, and the Gen IV starters.

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that its second major expansion for Far Cry 6 will be coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC, on Jan. 11.
The new DLC is dubbed Pagan: Control and will give players the opportunity to step into the blood-splattered shoes of the infamous villain from Far Cry 4, Pagan Min.
Interestingly, Pagan: Control is being pitched as a “roguelite” experience, which is pretty unique for the Far Cry first-person shooter series. In the new mode, players will be transported into the mind of the titular antagonist and will have to face his greatest fears and defeat them in a new psychological horror-esque adventure.
For those unaware, Far Cry 6’s latest DLC packs focus on former villains from the franchise. The first – Vaas: Insanity – featured Vaas Montenegro, the drug-dealing looney from Far Cry 3, while the next one, coming later this year – Joseph: Collapse – will center on deranged religious zealot Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5.
Our very own Chris Jecks reviewed Far Cry 6 at launch and really enjoyed his time with the game ultimately awarding it a 4/5, saying:
With a solid story, an engaging cast of characters, and a plethora of enthralling side content, Far Cry 6 is an easy recommendation for FPS fans.
For more information about Far Cry 6’s upcoming expansion Pagan: Control, here’s the rundown courtesy of an official press release we received recently:

While Castlevania’s actual 35th anniversary was in 2021, Konami, it seems, is excited about NFTs this year. So, to mark the milestone, it’s auctioning off some Castlevania NFTs.

So, dilemma: the next-gen patch for Cyberpunk 2077 is nearly here - like, really nearly actually here after all this time. God, imagine if you'd waited for it before continuing your launch campaign! Oh hang on that's what I did. But don't worry about that Bertie! Don't worry that you bought a new console especially. We're going back and it will be wonderful, and there won't be a bug in sight.
Sony's 2022 CES event caught our attention with technical details of PlayStation VR2 - but what initially slipped under the radar was a small tale by Tom Holland, who was brought onto the stage to talk about the wonders of Uncharted.
The 25-year-old English actor who has a habit of playing Americans noted that he only discovered Uncharted when a PlayStation 4 was left in his trailer during the filming of Spider-Man: Homecoming (thanks, Kotaku).
The creator of viral word hit Wordle has said he intends to keep the engrossing daily puzzler free - and free of obtrusive advertising.
Wordle captured the attention of the internet over the Christmas holidays, and now my Twitter feed is a constant stream of people sharing their scores.
UPDATE 7TH JAN 2022: EA has said it's investigating the recent spate of FIFA account takeover attempts.
In a statement issued to Eurogamer, EA also pointed players to its official advice on how to secure your account, including how to enable two-factor authentication.
Pagan: Control, the second major DLC for Far Cry 6, will arrive for all platforms next week on Tuesday, 11th January as part of the game's season pass, or as a separate download.
This is the new roguelike mode where you play as Pagan Min, the antagonist of Ubisoft's Himalayan-set Far Cry 4. Here, you'll journey into his "troubled psyche" and hear more about his backstory.
Nobody Saves The World, the next game from Guacamelee developer Drinkbox Studios, is due out later this month on PC and Xbox.
Unlike the team's previous luchador Metroidvania, Nobody Saves The World is an action RPG with an emphasis on creating your own personal playstyle.
Activision has issued a statement regarding the ongoing strikes by QA staff members at Raven Software.
A spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz that "Raven leadership has engaged in dialogue with its staff to hear concerns and explain the company's overall investment in development resources. As previously announced, we are growing our overall investment in development and operations resources and converting nearly 500 temporary workers to full-time employees across our studios, the largest conversion in Activision's history."
Castlevania's 35th anniversary will be marked by the launch of the "Konami Memorial NFT Collection", which is exactly as it sounds.
Artwork, video clips and music tracks will be hawked as NFTs on the OpenSea auction site next week, from 12th January, using the controversial Ethereum currency.
Update 1/7 10 am PT: Jeff Ross followed up his Tweet thread by appearing on Twisted Metal director David Jaffe's livestream to explain how the 8 million sales figure for Days Gone might not be entirely accurate, or at the very least, official.
As reported by PushSquare, Ross says the source of the sales numbers was from a Trophy data tracking site called Gamestat. During the conversation, Ross revealed that when he was at Bend Studios and saw Days Gone sold 5 million copies, the Trophy data was at 5.8 million. And since he no longer has access to Sony's official figures since leaving the company, Ross based the 8 million sales figures from trophy trackers and the "telemetry data."
"I think [Gamestat] still has the data archived," Ross said according to GameInformer. "Based off the 8 million mark, it matched our telemetry and so I'm like, 'good enough.' So maybe it was 7.7 [million]-ish, maybe it was 8.2 [million]-ish, I don't know."
So while Ross has previously found trophy data to be ballpark figures for sales, they are not wholly accurate compared to Sony's official 8 million sales announcement for Ghost of Tsushima.
Original Story: Days Gone director Jeff Ross says that the game outsold Ghost of Tsushima, but that it was still treated like a disappointment by studio management.
