It might have had a bit of a tumultuous development journey - to put it mildly - but Dead Island 2 is off to a flying start, having successfully shifted over 1m copies in its first three days of release.

Dead Island 2 finally launched last Friday, almost nine years after publisher Deep Silver announced it was in development. Since then, it's seen no less than three studios at the helm, but, despite that rocky road to release, its final form - which reached the finish line under the stewardship of Dambuster Studios - has clearly captured the public's imagination.

In its press release announcing Dead Island 2's blast through the 1m sales barrier in just 72 hours, Deep Silver shared a selection of other notable stats. Over the course of those three days since launch, for instance, players have racked up 11m hours of play time, and 28m deaths.

Developer Respawn has introduced the latest member to Apex Legends' playable roster: disgraced Thunderdome Games champion Ballistic, who'll be joining the free-to-play battle royale hit on 9th May as part of its new season.

As is now customary, Ballistic - real name August Montgomery Brinkman - gets his grand unveiling in a new episode of Respawn's Stories from the Outlands. Here, we meet him taking a lonely stroll through his lavish mansion before settling down for a recap of his Thunderdome career, which ended tragically with the death of his teammate and brother-in-law.

Since then, Ballistic has become a recluse, neglecting his family until they chose to leave. Which is where Respawn's cinematic switches back to the present, and when we - and Ballistic - learn his son, Nathaniel, has just qualified for the Apex Games.

DF Direct Weekly is our regular scheduled show concentrating on the latest gaming and technology news - and sometimes that's problematic as there isn't always much of note to discuss. Last week was heading down this path until the arrival of a remarkable video trailer for Unrecord, an upcoming tactical shooter from developer Drama. Ultra-realistic with excellent materials work and lighting combined with an excellent GoPro-style camera simulation produced a slice of gameplay that many believed to be fake - but it isn't.

Of course, we've seen something similar before. Last year, there was a great deal attention given to a replay camera view taken from the game Ride 4, which also 'went viral' - and for similar reasons. The same kind of overcast/blown-out lighting is in full effect, while camera motion added an additional layer of realism. These techniques have the same kind of impact in Unrecord, but with a twist - Unreal Engine 5's material system and ray-traced lighting produce an even more realistic effect.

As UE5 along with Lumen and Nanite become more widely adopted by developers, our hunch is that you're going to be seeing a whole lot more of these kind of videos - not just the extreme realism seen here, more in terms of an elevated level of accomplishment in visuals more generally. With Unrecord, the only real question from our perspective is whether that dynamic camera is actually compatible with gameplay, or whether a lot of users will suffer motion sickness as a result. Based on Ride 4, a more traditional camera set-up delivers a much more game-like presentation.

We've had some lovely things for Eurogamer supporters since refreshing the offering, and we've got some exciting plans for the weeks ahead too, including the first proper behind the scenes-style podcast that's only for supporters. If you are one of those supporters, you should have seen an email about it, asking for questions we can answer during the podcast, and it's not too late to send them in. Look for that podcast to air the week of 10th May.

We had the first Emma's Adventures column a few weeks' back. This is a series written by Emma Kent, who has a knack for pursuing bizarre ends in online games. Case in point, her making a fashion boutique in the contested wastelands of Fallout 76.

Wrote Emma: "Establishing a fashion store in Fallout 76 was, obviously, never the main goal when I returned to Fallout 76 this year. In the middle of my investigations into whether the game had improved since launch (the answer: sorta), I realised that I had accidentally dressed my character as a rugged version of Anna Wintour - the global editor-in-chief of Vogue, and the inspiration behind The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly. It seemed only right, then, that I should fully lean into this role, and create my very own fashion boutique in the middle of the wasteland..."

An official Call of Duty board game has been announced.

Activision and Arcane Wonders released a teaser video, below, that doesn't tell us much of anything about "Call of Duty: The Board Game", but the official blurb helps a bit.

"Get ready for the ultimate Call of Duty tabletop experience! We're excited to announce the upcoming release of Call of Duty: The Board Game, a thrilling new strategy game based on the popular video game franchise.

Are you reading this, Muszkatuł Gałkowy? Up yours, you spike-obsessed, wall-faking, bomb-dropping disgrace. I'll get you. I'll get you. Oh, sorry everybody! This article began life as an expletive-filled Xbox Live message. Some context: I'm playing Meet Your Maker, a post-apocalyptic, asymmetrical multiplayer FPS from Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive, in which you build trap-filled bases using materials either taken from other bases, or gathered from the cooling bodies of those who come to raid your own.

You're doing all this on behalf of a giant, frantic jellybaby in a Bacta tank, who shrieks at you constantly to gather genetic material or "genemat", that she may raise a new and superior civilisation from the sands. It's sort of Mad Max by way of Warhammer 40,000. But any and all plot shenanigans are soon forgotten in the face of the simmering, unspoken rivalries of the player community. Despite the title, you don't actually see opposing base-builders - or as they're here known, Custodians - in Meet Your Maker, but by golly do you come to know them from their works.

Meet Your Maker's base-building is as intuitive as the average base is nightmarish. You place unlockable, upgradeable blocks, ramps and hazards in first-person, reloading the map periodically to test the results out. While some map templates have certain criteria, such as a minimum number of AI guards, the only overarching requirement is that each base needs a clear, walkable path from the perimeter to the genemat extractor in the centre.

It looks like Lego is set to release a Pac-Man arcade machine model this summer.

Images of the set have been making the rounds online, and while the pictures in question are admittedly very blurry, they appear to show the upper half of a Pac-Man cabinet. Along with the cabinet half itself, there also seem to be Lego models of Pac-Man and two small ghosts.

While nothing has been officially announced, according to Lego leaker Falconbricks, this set will be released on 1st June and sell for $269.99 (so, around £217). Meanwhile, it is said to have 2651 pieces.

Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West's developer has casually confirmed something we all expected. Yes, that's right, we will be getting another outing with Aloy and co in the future.

In a recent management update, Guerrilla announced that its studio director and executive producer Angie Smets was set to start a new role at PlayStation Studios, as head of development strategy.

Along with the customary words of appreciation for Smets' work at the company, Guerrilla also laid out the groundwork for its new look management team.

The UK will finally issue its ruling on Microsoft's $68.7bn attempt to buy Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard this week, following months of deliberation.

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is one of three key regulators around the world still scrutinising Microsoft's deal, alongside the US Federal Trade Commission and the EU's European Commission.

A final ruling by the CMA must arrive before the end of its deadline day - this Wednesday, 26th April - and Microsoft has recently had reason to hope its efforts to win over the UK authority will ultimately prove successful.

Capcom has released a new patch for its Resident Evil 4 remake.

This patch addresses a number of issues, and can generally be seen as a very good thing. After all, we all want our games to look and play as smooth as possible.

If you are one of the many trying to speedrun your way through the game, I'm afraid this may now be a little harder, as this update has 'fixed' the glitch that allowed players to warp through walls when using the scope in certain areas. This means no more shortcutting your way through doors. Welp!

LawBreakers died back in 2018 - but its chief creator now wants it to come back.

LawBreakers was a hero shooter developed by Boss Key Productions, the now defunct studio set up by Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski after he left Epic having famously worked on the Unreal Tournament and Gears of War franchises.

Despite a big pre-release push by publisher Nexon, LawBreakers flopped, with its Steam concurrent player count peaking at 7482 in June 2017 when it launched via open beta. Nexon later blamed LawBreakers' disastrous fortunes on battle royale PUBG, which at the time was just about the biggest game in the world.

Ubisoft has said it is unlikely to launch native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of Tom Clancy's The Division 2, as taking "full advantage" of the current console generation would also mean leaving players on PS4 and Xbox One behind.

The Division 2 originally launched back in March 2019, with versions for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Streaming versions for Google Stadia and Amazon Luna launched in 2020, and it is playable now on new consoles via backwards compatibility.

Last week, The Division 2's fifth year of content was laid out for fans of Ubisoft's ongoing post-pandemic co-op shooter. Speaking to MP1st, the game's creative director Yannick Banchereau also discussed whether a ground-up PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version could also release - but it seems unlikely.

Lili is confirmed as a playable character in Tekken 8.

Bandai Namco released the gameplay video, below, that shows off Lili's look in the upcoming fighting game.

The pampered Monégasque heiress makes the playable character cut complete with a Siamese cat named Salt. In the video, we see Lili square off against rival Asuka, who was confirmed for Tekken 8 a few weeks ago. In her new rage art, Lili counts to three while knocking lumps out of her opponent, before saying adieu with a somersault kick.

When the first Butterfly Soup arrived back in 2017, it was a surprise hit among queer gamers who were enthralled by its diverse cast of gay teens, its chaotic humour and its poignant exploration of the intersections between sexuality, gender and race - all centred around the joys of baseball. Games like this are still far from the norm and five years ago Butterfly Soup wound up feeling like something of a landmark game for those who had been longing to see themselves and their experiences represented on screen.

In 2022 a sequel arrived and this time it was far from emerging out of nowhere but instead thrown into the waiting arms of an eager audience, myself among them. But a lot has happened between the releases of these games, both in terms of events in the world and the industry itself, with queer representation ramping up somewhat in the time since the original Butterfly Soup. This landmark game's sequel arrived into a very different landscape from the first.

A Resident Evil 4 fan has made a real-life recreation of Leon Kennedy's attache case to show how Leon's items would "scale in real life".

The recreation – which takes a screenshot of a late-game Kennedy loadout as its source – is fantastically faithful, including eggs, a "fish", guns with their attachments, as well as ammo and health items, and suggests that in real life, the case that holds Leon's inventory would be prohibtively enormous.

You can check out the fantastic photograph – which was shared on Reddit – right here (thanks, TheGamer):

It looks like physical copies of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will require an additional digital download to play.

Whilst there's been no formal word from EA about the additional requirement, players who've spotted the physical game out in the wild have reportedly noticed that the boxed copies sport a sticker on the front that says "download required".

This may not come as a surprise to some given EA recently published the minimum and recommended PC specifications for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which stated that Jedi Survivor takes up 155GB on PC, and discs can only hold so much data, of course.

Dead Island 2 has teamed up with a UK insurance company to launch a "deathwish" policy that ensures your friends and family will arrange a "blowout in Los Angeles" when you die.

The initiative – which "instructs loved-ones to both zombie-proof the recently deceased and toast their passing with a blowout in Los Angeles before the city becomes the Hell-A we see in the game" – is an insurance policy to provide "a wake to end all wakes with nearest and dearest raising a Zombie cocktail during a celebratory Californian getaway".

In the first three Star Wars movies, the Jedi and Sith are dwindling embers. What was once a vast, entangled hierarchy of light and dark Force practitioners has shrunk to a handful of creaky and vindictive old men, fighting for control over a couple of angsty, unschooled kids. With 1999's prequel Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace - set in the heyday of the Galactic Republic - Lucasfilm wanted to show these crusading space mystics in their prime. The film's opening act is basically a 30-minute-long rockstar kneeslide. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn bust out of stage smoke and proceed to drop more bodies than you'll see fall in the entirety of the original trilogy, batting away blaster bolts without looking and throwing the Force around like confetti.

The original Star Wars trilogy's fights are closer to duels in older medieval romance flicks: you can more or less follow every blow. The Phantom Menace redefines the Jedi and Sith as crowd-pleasing stuntspeople and martial artists, their intricate choreography mixing Kendo with tennis and a few, universe-specific flourishes. Sometimes, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon wield their sabers like feather dusters, letting the heat of the blade do the job rather than exerting their muscles. The real heroes of these encounters are their opponents, however: spindly CGI battle droids who are designed to be even more expendable than Stormtroopers. They're foes you can dismember by the hundreds without riling any age ratings boards, or risking a tabloid outcry.

Free-to-download action role-playing game Torchlight: Infinite comes out 9th May across PC and mobile, Shanghai-based publisher XD Games has announced.

The launch proper comes after an extended open beta and Steam early access period that's run since October 2022.

9th May kicks off a new season called Cube of Rapacity, brings an overhaul to the game's loot and crafting systems, and adds a new playable hero called Escapist Bing. Here's the official blurb:

Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone recently shared a selection of very early sketches and ideas that eventually led to the creation of fan-favourite farming sim, Stardew Valley.

They include notes and annotations handwritten by Barone that intimate how he expected players to interact with the different characters and items in the game.

"[I] was going through some things and found my old notebook with the original community centre concept," Barone tweeted, before sharing wonderful sketches taken from his original notebook.

The update will be available for free for the three million copies of V Rising that have been sold since it was released in Early Access a year ago.

"The update lets players explore Gloomrot, a new biome with two unique areas twisted in the pursuit of cruel science," Stunlock Studios teases. "Hunt the blood of the brilliantly insane to harness the power of lightning and enter a new age of technology."

In four years, we've gone from PC owners able to play a path-traced version of Quake 2 through to the same techniques applied to Cyberpunk 2077 - one of the most demanding triple-A games around. Even today, Quake 2 RTX continues to be a challenging piece of software to run - but anything from an RTX 4070 to the top-end RTX 4090 can deliver those cutting-edge visuals at 60 frames per second or higher. The question is, how?

There's no simple answer here as we're looking at a range of technological innovations in terms of both software and hardware, and it's on the latter point where we can begin to get to the bottom of the issue. Quake 2 RTX launched in June 2019 when the most powerful GPU on the market was the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. It managed to run the game rather well at around 1080p, capable of 60fps with room to spare. However, turn up the resolution to a higher standard like 4K and frame-rates operate in the upper teens to the early 20s.

Four years later, the latest GPUs are powering through those RT calculations - an RTX 4090 runs the same workload around four times faster - though before we go into how ray tracing hardware performance has improved so dramatically, I'm going to stress that this is only part of the story. Developers are working hard to increase efficiency on the software side too.

Apex Legends' latest limited-time mode will be "a true test of skill".

The "all-new" Veiled Collection Event for Apex Legends: Revelry – which goes live on 25th April and runs until 9th May – not only introduces the requisite new cosmetic skin collection, but also a new limited-time team deathmatch mode Unshielded Deadeye, where "Legends wield limited rotating loadouts".

As the "unshielded" name suggests, players forego both helmets or shields and race to become the first to clock up 50 kills and "prove themselves a Champion among Legends".

Wild Hearts' latest free, post-launch content update is now live.

"There’s been so much happening in the world of Wild Hearts recently," the team explains. "We deployed a PC crash hotfix and a Claw Blade & Bow Rebalance patch last week. So much to share and we haven’t even gotten to what's in today's content update!"

"Deathhaze Gloombeak soars into Akikure Canyon, along with a new title and a new talisman skill for those able to reach new heights as a hunter. Serial Hunts – a new kind of Special Quest – have also been added, and could very well be the most arduous challenge Azuma’s hunters have seen to date."

Four more Ubisoft games are slated to join Steam later this year.

Far Cry 6, Riders Republic, Rainbow Six Extraction, and Monopoly Madness are set to come to the Steam store on 11th May, 8th June, 15th June, and 22nd June, respectively, marking the first time these titles will be playable on Steam.

Since 2019, Ubisoft had skipped bringing its game to Steam in favour of a dual launch on Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Store - where Epic was, perhaps not coincidentally, wooing publishers and developers with a 12 per cent revenue cut compared to Valve's 30 per cent.

The Mortuary Assistant is now available on Nintendo Switch.

The smash-hit indie horror hit – which offers some genuinely unsettling moments in its 10ish hour run time over numerous playthroughs – doesn't seem to boast any Switch-specific features, but it does mark the first time the chilling creeper is available outside of Steam.

"Having completed your degree in mortuary sciences, you have taken on an apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary. Over the past several months you have logged many hours aiding the Mortician in daily tasks along with learning the ins and outs of the embalming process as well as how to properly handle and care for the deceased," teases the description on the Nintendo Shop.

Punchdrunk is an award-winning immersive theatre company that transforms warehouses into enormous and elaborate sets, which audiences can freely walk around. And as they do, a play unfolds around them and with them. Here, the audience is not separate from the action but a part of it. And because of that, the similarities between Punchdrunk's shows and video games are many.

Here, Alan Wen and Bertie talk about their separate experiences of Punchdrunk's latest production, inspired by the fall of Troy - The Burnt City. The show is running in London until the end of September.

Bertie: It's been a few weeks since I went to The Burnt City. I remember there being a bitingly cold wind whipping around the Woolwich Arsenal in London when we were there. I'm still thinking about the show. And I'm keen to know how much you knew about Punchdrunk before you went? What were you expecting?

Sons of the Forest roared out the gates when it launched into Steam early access back in February, and 2m+ copies sold later, developer Endnight Games is continuing to improve the experience, this time adding ducks, a lake to put them in, a double log buff for fan-favourite companion Kelvin, and a sad end for a levitating life jacket.

All this comes via Sons of the Forest's patch #4, which, while fairly light on radical new features, brings a host of welcome quality of life improvements - including the aforementioned Kelvin buff meaning he can now carry a whopping two logs at once - plus tweaks, and more.

There's some new stuff on the feature front, though, including a new Action Cam used to view Sons of the Forest's found footage tapes - the first of which is now in-game - plus new points of interest discovery laptops, and the ability to name save games.

Developers Massive Monster's entertaining dungeon-crawling management sim Cult of the Lamb is getting a massive free update next Monday, 24th April, introducing a new post-game storylie, "deeper" combat, new building options, and more.

There's a lot going on in Relics of the Old Faith, as the update is known, starting with the introduction of Relics and heavy attacks as part of Cult of the Lamb's improved combat. It also adds remixed dungeons featuring revamped enemies and bosses, including new versions of the base game's four Guardian Bishops as confirmed during Nintendo's indie showcase.

Away from the dungeon-crawling side of things, Massive Monster says the game's cult management portion will get new followers, plus a range of new buildings - including a kitchen with its own chef for more efficient cooking, a (non-collapsing) shared shelter capable of housing up to three followers, a crypt to keep graveyard sizes under control, plus farm plot signs which followers can plant stuff around for better crop organisation.

Paradox Interactive has announced Victoria 3's first paid expansion, a new "immersion pack" titled Voice of the People, which launches on 22nd May.

Voice of the People's main new feature is introduction of ideological "agitators" from across history, including Victor Hugo and Karl Marx. Agitators are a new kind of character in Victoria 3, capable of rallying pops to support political movements that align with their ideology.

"Agitators will shake up your internal politics, acting independently of their Interest Groups," Paradox explains in a blog post accompanying its DLC announcement. "Amplifying power from below, Agitators serve an opposite function to Interest Group Petitions which reflect the demands of the political elite. Depending on how your goals align with theirs, Agitators might be a painful thorn in your side or a valuable ally to your political agenda."

Dead Island 2 has had a torturous road to release, arriving on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, last-gen consoles and PC some nine years after the game was first revealed - but there's a surprising level of technical polish evident across every console version. Dead Island 2 also does more than you'd expect from a typical Unreal Engine 4 release, with some novel technical features added on by developers Dambusters that are definitely worth covering.

In this article, we'll tackle those novel additions - and how the game runs on last-gen consoles, including PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One and Xbox One X. We'll also take a look at what visual upgrades can you expect by opting for the current-gen versions on PS5, Series X or Series S.

Let's get the bloody stuff out of the way first. Set to a sunny LA backdrop, Dead Island 2's focus on extreme gore is its trademark - with heavy violence, dismemberment and body physics, all enabled by the game's 'FLESH Engine' or 'Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids'. This proprietary tech simulates the physics of body dismemberment to a grisly level of detail, from clothing and skin to muscles, organs and even the skeleton beneath. It's grim, disgusting stuff, achieved with real technical prowess. Suffice it to say that swords, guns and elemental dangers all have terrifyingly realistic consequences on the unfeeling zombie hordes, making this easily one of the most impressive parts of Dead Island 2's technical makeup.

Xbox's Aaron Greenberg has insisted Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush was a "break out hit" amid claims the critically acclaimed music adventure "just didn't make the money it needed to make".

The claim Hi-Fi Rush had failed to meet Microsoft's financial expectations was made by Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb during his latest Game Mess Decides podcast.

"Based on what I've heard," Grubb said during a conversation about the game's release strategy, "it just straight up didn't make the money it needed to make. I mean it got good reviews, the buzz was good, so where do you put the blame for something like that? Is it the price? Was it the shadow drop? Could it have sold more? Or is it Game Pass?".

Darker and Darker's lawyer has accused Korean gaming company Nexon of "anti-competitive bully tactics", in a letter to Steam owner Valve.

Following positive reception at Steam Next Fest earlier this year, Dark and Darker has experienced a troubled production. In March, developer Ironmace had its office searched, after Nexon alleged the studio created its game with code stolen from Nexon's own "P3" project (something several members of Ironmace's team had previously worked on).

Soon after these allegations were made, Nexon issued Ironmace with a cease and desist demand, and Dark and Darker was removed from Steam. Most recently, it came to light that the Dark and Darker developer is being sued by Nexon for "copyright infringement", with the Korean game publisher demanding a jury trial in America.

Regardless of your personal opinion on The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it's safe to say it's been a massive success. Last week, it was named the highest grossing film of 2023 so far and the biggest video game adaptation of all time, which isn't bad going!

We've already speculated where the next instalment of the Mario movies could go next, but given how well the mustachioed man's debut on the silver screen has gone, it wouldn't be surprising if more than one of these theories turns out to be correct down the line.

There's plenty of material within the Mario universe for the movies to cover, but what about a Nintendo Cinematic Universe? There's already been plenty of Pokémon movies, both animated and live-action (well, just the one in the latter department so far).
