Nearly two months after Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick announced the company would finally begin bargaining its first union contract with the Game Workers Alliance at Raven Software, staff at Blizzard Albany, currently working on Diablo IV, say the publisher is back to trying to union-bust. They accuse…
As you likely know, the Steam Deck is very popular. Valve’s portable PC has quickly developed a large community around it and it has become the preferred way for many to play their favorite Steam games on-the-go. But which games exactly are all these new Steam Deck owners playing? You’d think they would be smaller,…
During today's Pokemon Presents presentation, the Pokemon team revealed a full map of Paldea, the region where Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are set. While the official map is slightly blurry, a fanmade upscaled version is now giving us a clearer look at the Paldea region.
Today, IGN's own Ryan Quintal created an upscaled version of the map, revealing notable details of the region in a Twitter thread.
Quintal pointed out how diverse the map is, making note of several desert regions, seaside towns, smaller, grassy towns, and mountainous cliffside locations. Find all the details of Quintal's map below:
The Pokemon Company also revealed further details about Paldea on its website, stating that it's filled with "a variety of locations, ranging from a farming village with bountiful harvests to a port town with a bustling marketplace."
Pokemon will also occupy every nook and cranny of Paldea's diverse terrain, living in "treetops, rivers, and all sorts of other locations in the wilderness."
In today's Pokémon Presents, we got an extended look at Pokémon Scarlet and Violet which included new Pokémon, features, characters, and more. And, as it usually does when we see new Pokémon footage lately, social media immediately erupted with a flurry of incredible memes.
First, let's get the thing you're really here to see out of the way: Fidough. A new Pokémon named Fidough was revealed today which is, deliciously, a dog made out of bread dough whose breath is apparently a very effective yeast.
The internet has gone to town on this little guy, with reactions ranging from expressing deep love for the pure-bread pup to, disturbingly, wanting to cook and eat him.

As MultiVersus enters its second week of open beta, its first official Season is on its way. Though we're just under a week away from Season 1's launch, fans still have plenty of questions regarding the Season 1 Battle Pass.
Today, MultiVersus director Tony Huynh responded to a fan's Tweet with some details about the game's Season 1 Battle Pass. According to Huynh, the pass will cost 950 Gleamium — the game's paid currency — and offer 50 tiers.
1000 Gleamium is equivalent to roughly $9.99, meaning the Season 1 Battle Pass will cost a bit less than $10.
I think it's 950 gleamium, but has 50 tiers.
— Tony Huynh (@Tony_Huynh) August 2, 2022
Currently, the Preseason Battle Pass is running until August 8. It's much cheaper than the Season 1 Battle Pass at only 300 Gleamium, but it only has 15 tiers of character skins, profile icons, XP, coins, and cosmetics.
While we don't know much else about the Season 1 Battle Pass, we do know that Season 1, which launches on August 9, will introduce Rick and Morty's Morty.
Atlus has released another trailer revealing one of the demons that will be included in the upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2.
This trailer showcased Inanna, a demon inspired by the Great Mother Goddess of Mesopotamian mythology deity of love, war, fertility, games, and the morning star.
She definitely has what you’d call a “motherly” figure, and she also appeared in the recent Shin Megami Tensei V.
Like in most daily trailers, Atlus also provided a daily horoscope, which sees Virgo at the top of the fortune ranking and Libra at the bottom.
You can check the trailer out below.
Soul Hackers 2 launches for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC ( both on Steam and on the Windows Store) on August 26, just one day after the Japanese release on August 25.
Third-party developers continue to work hard on add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and new reveals and a release have been shared today.
We start with Just Flight, which provided a development update and new screenshots of its upcoming Fokker F28 Fellowship vintage regional airliner.
“As mentioned in our last development update, the F28 team have been very busy working on extensive upgrades to the cockpit, and here some of the results!
Between the four variants of the F28, and the many operators over its decades of services, no two cockpits are guaranteed to be alike in the real-world. Therefore we have reconfigured the cockpit to match the real aircraft that we visited at the Fokker Technical College, for the most authentic environment possible. Our artists have upgraded the visual fidelity of every area of the cockpit and are now working on even higher texture resolution for pin-sharp clarity, whilst our testing team, which includes F28 flight, engineering and training crew, have been hard at work checking over every inch of the cockpit as development work progresses.
We’ve included some screenshots showing the stunning cockpit lighting. The F28 has a very different look to other airliners, including the hundreds of large and brightly-coloured annunciator and warning lights, adding to the unique and immersive feel of the aircraft.”
Since the beginning of its open beta on July 26, players of the platform fighter MultiVersus have been curious about specific details regarding its Season 1 Battle Pass.
Currently, players have the chance to purchase a Preseason Battle Pass that contains 15 tiers of unlockable goodies at a cost of 300 Gleamium, but we now have a better idea of what to expect from the proper Season 1 Battle Pass courtesy of game director Tony Huynh on Twitter.
When asked by a fan, Tony Huynh clarified that MultiVersus’ first seasonal battle pass will cost 950 Gleamium (which works out to about $10) and have 50 tiers for players to unlock:
More information about the battle pass will certainly be forthcoming on the game’s website and official social media presence, but for now, it’s great to have more specific information about what the pass itself will entail when it lands in MultiVersus on August 9th.
To better prepare yourself for the pass’s debut, you may want to check out Twinfinite’s guide on how to get Gleamium, which also covers everything you can spend the premium currency on at the moment.
Today, Valve released the latest information about Steam Deck’s top 10 most played games of the week, calculated by users’ daily activity.
As a result, the Steam Deck official Twitter confirmed that the games listed below have the most activity within the platform:

This new device has brought a unique experience to these classic games by allowing users to play them wherever they want, without a TV or a computer. However, the system is only available through reservations, where users must wait until inventory restocks.
Seasonic is the name when it comes to reliable PC power supplies, so it's rare to see big discounts - especially on their more affordable models. That trend is reversed at CCL in the UK today though, as their G12 GC-650 power supply has dropped from £68 to £48 as part of CCL's summer sale.

On August 3, Dead By Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive announced Meet Your Maker, a post-apocalyptic shooter with a heavy emphasis on player-created content in the form of building your own outposts and raiding the outposts of others. With such an intriguing concept, many players want to know how you can sign up for the game’s first closed playtest. Below, you’ll find a straightforward walkthrough covering how to do just that.
The absolute first step to put yourself in the running for Meet Your Maker’s playtest is head to the game’s official website and click the button that says “sign up for the playtest” next to the Steam logo. From there, you’ll be asked to log into your Behaviour Account or be prompted to create one.
Once you’re logged into your Behaviour Account, clicking the playtest button will take you to another page that requires you to click a red button that reads “Sign up to the closed playtest.” From there, you’ll be asked to answer questions pertaining to your personal gaming preferences and general information for the selection process.
There are several questions to work through, but it shouldn’t take more than five minutes or so to reach the end. Once you’re finished, you’ll agree to terms and conditions then the process will be complete. If you see the following screen, you’ll know you’re all signed up.
Progress in Dinkum can be rather slow at times. It starts to pick up once you’ve gathered a few recipes, purchased the essential licenses and tools, and have a nice slice of heaven on the island. One of the toughest hurdles to jump is when you start needing Old Contraptions. It’s essential for creating useful machines. If you’re having trouble finding them, you aren’t alone; here’s how to get Old Contraption in Dinkum.
There are multiple ways to get Old Contraptions in Dinkum, and every single method relies entirely on luck. Those methods include:
Early on, you’ll be relying on finding Old Contraptions using a Metal Detector. You’ll need a Metal Detecting License and the tool itself to get started, which you can purchase from Fletch and John for 500 Permit Points and 7,000 Dinks, respectively. Aim the metal detector and wait for the metal detector to beep erratically and pray that you uncover an Old Contraption.
Going into the final arc of My Hero Academia, it was clear that some characters wouldn’t make it out alive. The stakes are too high, the enemies are too fierce, and it wouldn’t be a proper Shonen story without a heroic death or two. Some deaths were bound to hit harder than others though, and if you’ve heard the news or seen the relevant chapter, you’re probably wondering: Is Bakugo dead in My Hero Academia? Well, whether we like it or not, we’ve got the answer you’re looking for.
*Warning: Massive My Hero Academia Manga Spoilers Ahead. If you are behind on the comic or only watch the anime, turn back now*
Based on what occurs in My Hero Academia’s manga chapter 362, Bakugo does in fact die and is currently dead.
This comes at the hands of the All for One-controlled Shigaraki, who he had been facing down in an attempt to buy time until Deku could arrive and take on the big bad in their climactic confrontation. Though he had the support of UA’s Big Three, a slew of Pro Heroes and several of his classmates, All for One proved too strong thanks to the implanting of his many gathered quirks into the younger and less worn Shigaraki’s body.
Likewise, All for One was dead set on killing Bakugo for a couple of reasons. One was to wound Izuku as deeply as possible, potentially putting him into a frenzied enough state so that he couldn’t use One for All properly. The other is that Bakugo posed a serious threat to All for One, wielding his Explosion quirk with enough skill that he may have stood a chance against him under different circumstances.
Blizzard is continuing to drop fresh content for Diablo Immortal, as more heroes seem to be joining in the fun in Sanctuary on both PC and mobile. Following the substantial addition of class changes and more endgame content, Blizzard has detailed a mini-update of sorts that is now live for players all over the world.
Escape rooms have become a mainstay of entertainment all over the world in recent years, and with good reason. Here was a shared experience with friends or family that could test your critical thinking and puzzle-solving skills, with an often interesting premise to add that narrative flair to things. However, instead of actually doing it physically and outside, what if you could enjoy all of that in the comfort of your own home? That’s the allure of Coin Crew Games’ Escape Academy, and the authenticity of this puzzler makes for both a good and bad time.
As a new student that has just arrived at the titular Escape Academy, this is the premier destination for promising students to transform themselves into the ultimate Escapist. This means going through over a dozen rooms specially crafted by the devious minds behind actual escape rooms to test your skills, with the ultimate goal of earning 10 badges throughout the school year.
Back in June this year, director Todd Phillips shared the good news that Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck AKA the Joker, will be returning for a sequel titled Joker: Folie à Deux. While that was certainly welcome news, not many other details were shared about the movie. Now, thanks to a report by Variety, we know that Joker: Folie à Deux will be set to debut on the big screen on October 4, 2024.
If you have been counting, that means the sequel is coming out five years exactly after the first film, which is poetic in its own right. While the release date is one to look forward to, it remains to be seen just what shape and form the film will take, with earlier reports suggesting that it will be a musical that will involve Lady Gaga joining the cast.
Director Todd Phillips, whose work on the first film saw 11 Academy Award nominations in total, will be returning to direct the sequel, while also co-writing the screenplay with Scott Silver. Having generated more than $1 billion globally, it will be a tough act to follow, but that is exactly what Warner Bros. is hoping to replicate or surpass.
Since its release back in 2016, Behaviour Interactive’s survival horror asymmetric multiplayer experience, Dead by Daylight, has massively grown. Numerous events have introduced new killers and survivors from anime like Attack on Titan or survival horror experiences like Resident Evil. With so much content to indulge in, it’d only be fair for there to be a hot feature such as cross-progression in the game in order to bring the content anywhere and everywhere. Here’s what you need to know on whether or not Dead by Daylight has cross-progression.
Technically speaking, Dead by Daylight does not have cross progression on standard consoles and PC. However, it does have cross progression between the Google Stadia and Steam.
Behavior Interactive has been pretty coy when it comes to implementing cross-progression in Dead by Daylight. The developer has given the response that it’s being worked on but no timetable or update has been given. However, if you own a Google Stadia and have a Steam account you can transfer over your data between both platforms.
The process of linking both Stadia and Steam for cross-progression is pretty straightforward. Sign in to or create a Behaviour Interactive account, and from there the option to link accounts will be present. Once that is complete, your progress and your inventory, which include DLCs, purchases, and skins, will be synchronized. Only one account can be linked per platform, and if you decide to unlink your account, you’ll lose your progress and be reset back to where you were before linking accounts.
Today Sega released its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year that will end on March 31, 2023.
Looking at the whole company sales were 66,118 million yen (up 11.2% year-on-year) while op oerating income was 2,777 million yen (down 27.8% year-on-year).
Ordinary income was 4,255 million yen (up 22.1% year-on-year).
The Entertainment Contents business, which includes games, recorded 52,778 million yen in sales (up 11.3% year-on-year) and ordinary income was 8,142 million yen (down 4.6% year-on-year).
Overall results for the quarter were “generally in line with expectations.” Repeat sales for older titles were slightly below expectations, but free-to-play games performed strongly.
Following the reveal for unspecified consoles a few weeks ago, 3goo announced the platforms and more details about the 2D fighting game The Rumble Fish 2.
The game will release worldwide this Winter for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. A specific release date has not been shared so far.
The Rumble Fish 2, was released in Japanese arcades in 2005 and it never made it officially to consoles, until now. It has since gained a cult following among fighting game lovers.
Known for their smooth anime-style animation thanks to the S.M.A. (Smooth Model Animation) tech, the series is fairly well known in Japan, but pretty obscure in the west, since it never was officially released in the arcades in Europe or North America.
This new port will include several adjustments and new features to bring it up to speed with the times, including 16:9 aspect ratio, online gameplay, a new training mode, and rollback netcode.
In training mode you can customize the AI behavior to learn your characters, and there is also a gallery mode that will let you enjoy the artwork, music, behind-the-scenes information, and more.
While the audio will be exclusively in Japanese, subtitles and menus will be provided in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, French, Chinese (simplified and traditional) and Korean.
You can check out a gallery of screenshots below, alongside the key artwork.
The world of video games is already full of challenges, but sometimes, players just like to take things up a notch to prove their mastery of certain titles or genres. For Halo players, that has always been the case when it comes to completing a LASO campaign, meaning a full run on the hardest difficulty of Legendary with all gameplay modifiers, or Skulls, turned on. If that wasn’t enough to scare you off, how about the challenge of completing a full LASO run with zero deaths?
That was the gauntlet thrown down by content creator Charlie ‘Cr1tikal’ White to the Halo community at large. It is important to stress that other than not turning on the Envy Skull, which turns Master Chief invisible, every other Skull is working against the player. The first player to finish a Halo 2 Anniversary LASO run without dying even once will walk away with a $20,000 prize. The initial challenge with a $5,000 prize saw no takers, or perhaps, no one that competent to try, which led to Cr1tikal quadrupling his offer.
Enter Twitch streamer and Halo 2 speedrunner JerValiN, who not only took on the challenge, but crushed it in six hours, 29 minutes, and 44.17 seconds. This historic run involved not just careful and strategic gameplay, but also made use of certain skips and glitches to make life a little bit easier.
Go ahead and take on the Wordle challenge of the day with confidence, espeically when you have our help in coming out with the potential answers. In this guide, we’ll go through all the all the 5-letter words starting with R and ending in E to lend you a hand on your quest to maintain a hot streak.

The first season of Multiversus, the platform fighter from Warner Bros, is getting pushed back to a later date. The news comes in a Tweet from the official MultiVersus account alongside the news that the addition of the character Morty of Rick and Morty has also been delayed.
We’ll let you know the timing as soon as we can. We appreciate your patience & enthusiasm and look forward to unveiling Season 1 very soon! (3/3)
— MultiVersus (@multiversus) August 4, 2022
The first Tweet in the thread thanks players for enjoying and playing the game before breaking the bad news about the delays. The thread ends with more appreciation for the fans and that the timing for the release will be revealed “as soon as [they] can.”
Earlier today MultiVersus director Tony Huynh outlined a few details on his own Twitter account about the now delayed Season 1 Battle Pass. The news follows last week’s confirmation that the game would not see progress reset for players now that the game is in open beta.
Today Square Enix announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2023, which is the period between April and June.
Net sales were 74,876 million yen (down 15.5％ year-on-year). Operating income was ¥14,430 million (down 16.7％ year-on-year).
Ordinary income actually increased 48.7 year-on-year due to the weak yen.
Looking at the Digital Entertainment business, which includes games, net sales were 53,570 million yen (down 23.3％ year-on-year), while operating income was 14,140 million yen (down 17.5％ year-on-year).
Following the leak a couple of months ago, Square Enix has finally officially announced Tactics Ogre: Reborn.
It’ll release on November 11 with physical and digital Standard Editions on PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, with a digital-only Standard Edition available on PC via Steam.
A Digital Premium Edition will also be available for all platforms.
Japan is also getting a Collector’s Edition which has not been confirmed for the west and for which I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The game is based on the 2010 PSP remake of the original Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, but it doesn’t just improve the graphics and sound. The gameplay has also been evolved to create a new Tactics Ogre in line with the times.
Square Enix plans to provide veterans with an experience that surpasses their memories, while new players will enjoy an “unprecedented” experience.
The UI has been overhauled to enhance the quality of life, cutscenes will be fully voiced, sound effects have been redone, and the background music has been re-recorded.
The battles have been redesigned including the AI and character progression.
Characters and backgrounds have been redesigned in higher resolution, but the pixel art style has been preserved.
The redesign of the UI aims to make it easier to find information and simpler to complete tasks.
The new audio includes both English and Japanese voice-overs, and you can switch at any time.
The re-recorded music was produced by the original composer Hitoshi Sakimoto using a live orchestra. He also wrote new songs to integrate the soundtrack.
Death is a popular topic to talk about in the Naruto franchise. Some characters live while others die. Some characters are immortal. And some, and eventually A LOT of characters are simultaneously brought back to life in the series. But today we answer the question, does Gaara die in Naruto Shippuden?
If you’re okay with spoilers and looking for the short and sweet answer, then yes at some point in the series Gaara does in fact die. However, he only remains dead for a small period of time and is eventually brought back to life. For more details on how and why, the information is all right below here!
Naruto is one of the most well-known and beloved anime/manga franchises of all time, and has introduced many beloved characters into the franchise over the many years. Gaara is one of those beloved characters, but he did not start out beloved by everyone. Gaara was first introduced in the anime Naruto in Season 1 Episode 21 “Identify Yourself: Powerful New Rivals” and chapter 35 of the manga, where he was actually introduced as an upcoming antagonist of the Chunin Exams Arc.
It wasn’t until later on until episode 48 where we finally saw this come to fruition where he fought against another beloved character, Rock Lee, and almost killed him.
Gaara would then later go on to fight Naruto in episode 77 where the two clashed for multiple episodes until eventually, Naruto won. After this fight, he would then go through a substantial change in his personality, where in his last few appearances in Naruto, he would begin to make amends with those he had wronged in the past and began making some friends, starting with Naruto.
Today Konami announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2023, which ended on June 30, 2022.
Sales for the whole company were 71,905 million yen (up 5.2% year-on-year), while business profit was 14,099 million yen (down 30.5% year-on-year).
It’s worth mentioning that the quarterly revenue was a record-high for a first quarter.
Profit was negatively impacted by amortization of product costs upon new title releases, promotion costs, and rising raw materials costs.
Looking at the digital entertainment business, which includes video games, revenue was 50,800 million yen (up 1.9 year-on-year), while business profit was 13,361 million yen (down 30.3% year-on-year).
We hear that Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel has “become a hot topic.” Konami has then “maintained strong interest in the title by adding new cards for the first time after its release and holding continuous events.”
According to the publisher the interested in Yu-Gi-Oh! content overall remains hiigh.
Konami also claims that the work to create the mobile version of eFootball 2022, including “reviewing gameplay, achieving realistic graphics, and pursuing competitiveness” has been “well received by customers throughout the world”
Have you ever met a cheater in Red Dead Online? I have - a few times, in fact. The latest encounter came at the worst possible moment, after I had spent an hour painstakingly hunting animals to fill up my wagon with pelts. I had set off on a trader mission across the map, opting for a risky long-haul voyage that left me open to attack.
A potential shootout with a player was a risk I could accept: combating an invisible god-like assailant, however, was something I really hadn't signed up for. Out of nowhere, I was transformed into a flying saucer. It didn't take long for me to realise what was happening - Red Dead Online is notorious for its cheaters, and one of them had decided to spend their evening targeting me.
It turns out that driving a wagon as a spaceship is quite difficult. The ship was so vast that it obscured my view, and the glow from its lights made navigating the pitch-black desert almost impossible. Using my mini-map to steer, I somehow made my way to my destination, but my ordeal wasn't over quite yet. I had some bandits to deal with.
For those who've been with Sea of Thieves since its release back in 2018, the captaincy update is a thing of legend; originally intended to be the multiplayer pirate adventure's very first post-launch update, it would give players the opportunity to acquire their own persistent vessel on the seas, and - in a proposition that still excites the pirate in me to this day - start their sessions in a gloriously dramatic fashion, bursting through the Legendary Hideout's massive waterfall out into the world. But then Sea of Thieves' slightly wobbly launch happened, and Rare shifted its focus to fleshing out the game's sandbox following criticism of its limited core. With that, the captaincy update was set aside, but never quite forgotten by the player base, gradually becoming the stuff of legend with the passing of time.
But then, earlier this year, it returned. As announced during Microsoft's June showcase, captaincy and boat ownership were, after all this time, back on the cards. Now, the wait is finally over, with Sea of Thieves' near-five-years-in-the-making captaincy update launching later today. It promises to deliver an elaborate new framework for adventures to come - minus any waterfall-busting ship shenanigans, unfortunately - and ahead of its arrival Eurogamer had the opportunity to chat with Rare about what it hopes captaincy will bring to the Sea of Thieves.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn might be the worst-kept game-related secret of 2022 so far. Its existence has been confirmed by trademark filings, store pages, and deal websites. Seemingly everyone but its makers at Square Enix acknowledge that it is coming, and soon. That era is over. Square Enix has formally announced the game for a November 11, 2022 release date. And it's coming to more than just PlayStation platforms. The official announcement confirmed that it's headed to Nintendo Switch and PC, as well.
Square Enix also uploaded a full trailer, featuring gameplay footage and voice acting.
Here's the trailer in English.

And the same trailer featuring Japanese-language voice acting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM9kecqxInU
Outside of the target platforms, the Tactics Ogre Reborn trailer and announcement don't confirm anything not already leaked in some fashion. It's an enhanced remaster of 2010's Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the latest entries in the mainline series, and offer up a true open world experience with a fresh set of new starter Pokemon. While your starters will be with you for the longest time in your adventure, the most powerful ones will be the box legendaries in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and we now have our first-look and a limited bit of information on both Koraidon and Miraidon.
The legendary Pokemon found on the box of Pokemon Scarlet is called Koraidon. Currently, Game Freak and The Pokemon Company have yet to much more information about the creature, but we did get a glimpse of it in the second trailer for both games.

Thanks to iFireMonkey for sharing these weekly challenges when the v21.30 Fortnite update dropped.
MultiVersus won’t be heading into season one on August 9th after all, devs Player First Games have revealed. Game director Tony Huynh clarified the delay has nothing to do with the ongoing merger shenanigans between the game’s publisher Warner Bros. and Discovery, Inc. To console yourself, have a watch of vid bud Liam chatting with the RPS team about their choicest MultiVersus character picks below.
Behaviour Interactive officially revealed that Albert Wesker will be the new killer appearing as part of the Dead By Daylight x Resident Evil crossover event. The event, Project W, will also feature Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers as the two new survivor characters. Behaviour Interactive has not yet announced a release date for the upcoming chapter.
Project W is the 25th chapter of the asymmetrical horror game Dead By Daylight, and is the second chapter featuring characters and enemies from the Resident Evil franchise. Behaviour Interactive previously teased the crossover with a short clip back in May 2022, though the characters did not appear. Alongside the latest announcement, the company also released a short trailer featuring Wesker, Ada, and Rebecca.
Notably, the trailer reveals that Albert Wesker will be based on the character's appearance from Resident Evil 5, complete with his full black duster getup. This Wesker also has control over the prototype T-Virus and Uroboros Virus, possessing the ability to use tentacle-like appendages. Ada Wong appears to be wearing her iconic red dress, while Rebecca is wearing her rescue outfit. As the name of the chapter suggests, the Uroboros Project and Project W will likely be the key themes of the crossover.

It’s crunch time for The Guard’s Valorant roster as they prepare to showdown with seven other of North America’s best teams in the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) tournament tonight. The team’s successes over the next few months are hugely consequential for The Guard, with not only prize money and glory on the line but also chances of securing a franchising partnership with Riot Games for 2023.
With so much at stake, The Guard has put together cinematic trailers to hype up the occasion and, hopefully, help cheer their team across the line. But these are no mere run-of-the-mill montages. Instead, they’re full-on cinematic trailers with exceptionally crafted CGI, and they look so good I thought I was at first watching official lore cinematics for the game.
It all comes down to this.#VALORANTLCQ pic.twitter.com/yhhufh4pA7
— The Guard (@TheGuard) August 3, 2022
Made by @dovanivan, the cinematic is part of a series The Guard has been running over the past week or so introducing their players ahead of LCQ. You can check out an example below for Trent.
If you were to ask me whether or not the filmic adaptation of Nathan Drake’s video game escapades would be a hit or a miss, I would’ve probably wagered that’d it be a bust. My thought process behind that fact is largely because the Uncharted movie project had ostensibly been in development hell for many years before it finally reached theaters, which is usually a red flag for movies like this.
Nevertheless, despite my ambivalence for an Uncharted film (FYI, I absolutely love the video game series the source material is based upon), I still went to the cinema and checked it out for myself. My thoughts on the pic? Well, it’s a surprisingly entertaining popcorn flick with the beloved Spider-Man actor charming audiences with his doe-eyed charisma.
Today, however, it seems that the Uncharted movie has made a resurgence on streaming platforms. According to FlixPatrol, Uncharted has climbed its way to the number 5 spot on HBO’s bespoke streaming platform, meaning it’s one of the most watched films on there right now.
Boasting an impressive box office haul of $401.7 million off a budget of $120 million, it’s fair to say that the pic was a box office success. Further, the Uncharted film released at the tail-end of the pandemic, which likely impacted bums on seats due to ongoing restrictions around the globe.

UPDATE 04/08/22: The decision to delay MultiVerus' first season has nothing to do with Discovery's aquisition of Warner Bros., game director Tony Huynh has clarified.
The original story continues below.
ORIGINAL STORY: 04/08/22: The MultiVersus team has announced a delay to the platform fighter's first season.
A Twitch streamer has achieved the impossible by completing the $20,000 (£16,400) Halo 2 challenge.
The challenge, set earlier this year by streamer Charlie "Cr1tikal" White, was that someone had to complete the entirety of the Halo 2 Anniversary campaign without dying on Legendary difficulty, with all "Skull" modifiers on.
The effect of the modifiers range from increasing the health of enemies to all enemies being permanently cloaked. The only modifier that must be kept off is "Envy" skull, which replaces Master Chief's torch with an active camouflage system (because that would make things too easy).
