Inflexion Games released the reveal trailer for their new game, Nightingale, earlier today during The Game Awards. This title will launch as a PC exclusive. No details were released about which storefronts it’ll be available on or when the game will launch.

The trailer for Nightingale began with spooky monsters slowly approaching a woman wearing a long red dress and holding a lantern. The monsters let out terrifying screeches that showed off their sharp teeth. This character was able to escape once an even larger monster started chasing this woman.

It quickly becomes apparent once the narration begins that the character we saw at the beginning of the trailer along with a handful of others were somehow teleported to this fantastical world of Fae.

It looks like there will be portals scattered throughout the different worlds that will let you teleport between multiple different realms like forests, swamps, and deserts.

But most important, Nightingale will feature camp building. These makeshift towns that you put up across the realms will serve as homes to the survivors you find along the way that were also teleported to this mysterious land. Nightingale appears to also feature a wide array of monsters as well as melee weapons and guns to take them out.

If you want to learn more about the game and sign up for updates about development, then you can head on over to the official website. And you can find the reveal trailer for Nightingale down below.

While it currently lacks a release date, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has unveiled a new trailer at The Game Awards.

The trailer shows poor Gollum as a hopes to silently kill one enemy, but knocks off their helmet and makes way more noise than he ever wanted.

You can see the trailer here and below:

The Steam page gives the following information:

Athletic and agile, sneaky and cunning. Driven by the desire to once again hold in his hands what he lost, Gollum is one of the most fascinating characters in the world of The Lord of the Rings.

He has seen things that others can not imagine, he has survived things that others would not dare mention. Torn by his split personality, he can be vicious and villainous as Gollum, but social and cautious as Sméagol.

While being vital to the story by J.R.R. Tolkien, many parts of Gollum’s quest have not been told in detail yet. In The Lord of the Rings™: Gollum™ you get to experience this story. From his time as a slave below the Dark Tower to his stay with the Elves of Mirkwood.

During the 2021 edition of The Game Awards, Bokeh Game Studio finally revealed its brand new game Slitterhead.

While there still isn’t much information about the game, the theme is certainly quite clear to see in the trailer. We also get the confirmation that Akira Yamaoka of Silent Hill fame will take care of composing the soundtrack.

Incidentally, the trailer can’t be embedded, so you’ll have to click here to watch it.

In case you’re not familiar with Bokeh Game Studio, it was founded by Gravity Rush series director Keiichiro Toyama, who is also known for his work on the Siren series and Silent Hill, which is definitely a rather relevant horror pedigree.

Following his departure from Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio, Toyama-san launched Bokeh together with a number of other former Sony developers and then revealed he was working on a new horror game featuring fast-paced action. Now we finally get to take the first look.

Recently, we also heard that Tatsuya Yoshikawa of Breath of Fire fame will work on the character design.

Earlier today, The Game Awards unveiled a brand new trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie sequel, which was teased a bit earlier this week. In the trailer below, you can see all of the exciting new characters, areas, and powers that will happen in the next movie.

Alongside the trailer, there is also a brief synopsis of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie sequel down below:

Check out the official synopsis of the sequel here:

After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is ready for more freedom, and Tom and Maddie agree to leave him home while they go on vacation. But, no sooner are they gone, when Dr. Robotnik comes back, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to both build and destroy civilizations. Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is currently set to release on April 8, 2022, starring Ben Schwartz as Sonic the Hedgehog, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, Idris Elba as Knuckles, and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Miles “Tails” Prower.

During the 2021 edition of The Game Awards, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Guerrilla Games presented a new trailer of Horizon Forbidden West.

We get to see Aloy and the game’s iconic machines in action in about a minute of gameplay.

You can check it out below.

Horizon Forbidden West releases for PS5 and PS4 on Feb. 18, 2022. Here’s how Sony describes it:

“Explore distant lands, fight bigger and more awe-inspiring machines, and encounter astonishing new tribes as you return to the far-future, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon.

The land is dying. Vicious storms and an unstoppable blight ravage the scattered remnants of humanity, while fearsome new machines prowl their borders. Life on Earth is hurtling towards another extinction, and no one knows why.

Final Fantasy VII Remake was released for the PS4 last year, and later re-released and enhanced for PS5 along with the release of the Episode Intermission DLC. However, if you don’t have any of those consoles, we got some good news at The Game Awards 2021 today: the game is set to be released for PC via the Epic Games Store.

You can check out the new announcement trailer down below:

While the long-awaited part 2 of the Remake still seems to be a long way away, at least PC players will be able to enjoy it on their rigs in the meantime.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is set to be released on the Epic Games Store on Dec. 16. It’s already available on PS4 and PS5.

Tonight during the Game Awards, it was revealed that Remedy Entertainment is working on Alan Wake 2, a sequel to the action-adventure game released on the Xbox 360 in 2010, in partnership with Epic Games.

During the reveal, we see a glimpse of a short teaser trailer for the game. Alan Wake 2 will continue the story of the first game, diving a bit deeper into the survival horror genre this time around. Not much else is known yet about the plot, but you can start piecing together some darker, scarier themes from the trailer.

Earlier this year, a remaster of the first Alan Wake game was released thanks to a publishing effort by Epic Games. Now, Epic Games is working in conjunction with Remedy Entertainment to bring the sequel to life. This will be Remedy Entertainment’s first survival horror game.

Alan Wake 2 is planned for a 2023 release on PC via the Epic Games Store, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

You can learn more about the first game’s recent remaster on its official website right here and read more about Alan Wake 2 on Remedy Entertainment’s website right here.

You can watch the teaser trailer below.

As always, The Game Awards is full of exciting new trailers and surprises to look forward to, and this year’s show was no different. During the show, we got to see an announcement trailer for a brand new Wonder Woman game from DC and Monolith Productions.

You can check out the trailer for yourself down below:

Monolith is best known for releasing the Middle-Earth games, including Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. The cinematic trailer simply showed off the silhouette of Wonder Woman herself without any gameplay or concrete story details.

That said, Monolith’s certainly been lauded for the fantastic gameplay in the Middle-Earth games, especially the combat itself and the well-known Nemesis system, so it’s definitely exciting to see what they can do with DC’s iconic superhero. We’ll keep you updated as more info comes our way.

Star Wars Eclipse has been announced from notable developer Quantic Dream. Quantic Dream are the developers behind games like Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, and Beyond: Two Souls.

Geoff Keighley announced that Star Wars Eclipse is set during the “High Republic Era” and will be the first game to show it off. Though, despite the gorgeous trailer, Geoff Keighley also said it is early in development.

You can settle your Star Wars love with the trailer here and below:

Babylon’s Fall, the upcoming online co-op action RPG from Platinum Games and Square Enix received a new trailer for The Game Awards 2021 and it shows off quite a bit of the type of gameplay that players will expect. Then again, it’s Platinum Games so players probably already have a decent idea of what to expect but I digress.

In addition, Square Enix confirmed that Babylon’s Fall will release on Mar. 3 for PS5 & Steam with early access starting on Feb. 28 for those that pre-order the game ahead of time.

Here’s a statement sent out alongside the trailer today that gives a little more context to the trailer which you can check out below:

“In BABYLON’S FALL players become a group of warriors known as the sentinels, bonded with special equipment called Gideon Coffins, and throw themselves into an odyssey to overcome the titanic Tower of Babylon, within which sleeps a great legacy. In addition to weapons wielded in both hands, characters can use the power of their Gideon Coffin to equip two more, allowing for combinations of up to four weapons at once. The capabilities of different equipment will also bring endless variation to the strategy that can be employed. The game’s visuals are achieved using a newly developed “brushwork style” to create a unique fantasy setting with a medieval oil painting aesthetic.”

Babylon’s Fall does look pretty awesome in this trailer that shows off the gameplay in a cinematic way. We get a look at the various combat styles, formidable foes, dramatic cutscenes, and even a glimpse at what looks like treasure/loot. It will be really interesting to see how this multi-weapon combat plays out in reality and alongside other players doing the same. Babylon’s Fall can be played solo as well if you prefer.

Today during The Game Awards Pre-Show livestream, a brand-new teaser trailer for the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion showed off new gameplay and other new footage.

The beginning of the trailer showed a short cinematic with a Zinogre-looking monster attacking a group of hunters. It then cut to the logo screen and then quickly over to another cinematic.

This cinematic featured some of the same hunters from the last clip on a ship heading back to the port of what they called Outpost Elgado. But that was all that was seen in this teaser trailer for Sunbreak.

This trailer shown off at The Game Awards was just barely shorter than the original reveal trailer which came out just over two months ago. You can find that trailer right here.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak launches on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam starting Summer of 2022. As this is an expansion for the full game, you’ll need that full version of the game to play Sunbreak.

If you would like to check out the official Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak teaser trailer you can find it down below.

It might not be the Persona 4 Golden or Persona 5 Switch port fans might have been hoping for, but hey, it’s something. During the Game Awards 2021 pre-show, Atlus and Sega had a surprise announcement for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and it’s set to be released for PC and the Nintendo Switch.

You can check out the announcement trailer down below:

The game was originally released for PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2012, and it’s a 2D fighting game that sees the return of the Inaba Investigation Team as they dive back into the Shadow World to look into some strange happenings. We also see the return of some popular Persona 3 characters including Mitsuru, Yukari, Junpei, and Akihiko.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax features pretty robust fighting game mechanics, which shouldn’t be all that surprising considering it was developed by Arc System Works, and it also comes with a rather compelling narrative with a couple of new characters.

The game will be coming to PS4, Switch, and PC on March 17.

The post Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Gets Surprise Announced for PS4, PC, and Switch appeared first on Twinfinite.

A new Texas Chain Saw Massacre game was announced today at The Game Awards 2021. It’s being developed by Sumo Nottingham and Fear The Gun and outside of the below Tweet and a short cryptic trailer not much is known about it at this juncture.

We know it’s based on “true events” and that it will be a multiplayer horror experience. No actual gameplay has been shown yet.

Sumo and Gun could go a lot of different directions with this game. It could be some kind of cooperative horror game in the vein of Resident Evil or maybe it will attempt to go up against Dead by Daylight. Your guess is as good as ours right now.

After a brief tease on Twitter last night involving Ball Guy, the Pokemon Company has officially revealed a new Hisuian form for the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Arceus game. Hisuian Voltorb will be a dual-type Electric/Grass Pokemon.

The design of Hisuian Voltorb looks similar to the Poke Balls of the Hisui region, which differ slightly in appearance from the Poke Balls we’ve used throughout the series. It has a wood grain makeup on the surface of its body and a hole on the top of its head.

According to the official Pokemon Legends: Arceus website, “there seem to be countless seeds packed inside Hisuian Voltorb. Occasionally, it spouts these seeds out of the hole in its head. However, no one knows exactly what it’s like inside the Pokémon’s body because inside the hole, it’s pitch-dark.”

This new Voltorb form is just one of several regional variants that have been introduced in this ancient Sinnoh region. Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark were revealed in October, for example. You can read all about the different Hisuian regional variants, including this new version of Voltorb, on the official website right here.

Currently, there has been no reveal of a Hisuian Electrode, Voltorb’s evolved form, but chances are that this Pokemon will get its own Electric/Grass regional variation as well.

Today NIS America released a new trailer of the Nintendo Switch version of the upcoming JRPG Crystar.

The clip showcases Kokoro, one of the characters who appear in the game, including her English voice.

You can check it out below. Since I missed it last week, I’ll also add the trailer introducing the protagonist, Rei.

If you’ve been waiting patiently for Four Quarters‘ and Devolver Digital‘s critically-acclaimed indie sensation, Loop Hero, to make its way to Nintendo Switch, then we bring you good news. Yes, the unique idle RPG experience is now available on the Big N’s handheld hybrid.

To help signal boost the game’s debut on the Switch, the Russia-based studio has dropped a new launch trailer, which you can check out down below:

Blending roguelike, deck-building and RPG elements with idle mechanics, Loop Hero is a one-of-a-kind title that is well-known for its addictive gameplay loop and its retro style.

Originally released on PC in March of this year, Loop Hero has gone on to to sell over a million copies on the platform. Not too shabby, eh?

Today popular third-party developer PMDG provided new details about its upcoming 737, on top of a few screenshots, and a clarification.

The screenshots are the same featuring the cockpit that were showcased in yesterday’s livestream, but today we get to see a clean version, while CEO Robert Randazzo provided an extensive description of what we’re seeing and how it has been achieved.

“So let’s start out with a sample view of the overhead panel. Throughout the cockpit, existing PMDG customers will note a tremendous improvement in the overall model quality and level of detail. The tremendous capabilities of the lighting model in MSFS really allow us to improve the total visual quality of the simulation in a way that simply couldn’t be supported on previous platforms.

If you look at the engine and APU generator lights for example, and the associated bus indicator lights, you can almost feel the surface scaling of the indicators through which the illuminated text will show when the indicator is powered. The reflectivity and light reflection off the chrome switches just “looks right” in ways we have struggled to achieve prior to bringing the 737 to the MSFS platform.

Today Ubisoft launched a new trailer of its upcoming tactical shooter Rainbow Six Extraction.

The video is all about Smoke, and we’re not talking about showing off the visual effects, but the operator nicknamed Smoke.

James “Smoke” Porter returns from Rainbow Six Siege and his playstyle certainly appears to have deep connections between the two games.

You can check him out below.

Today Koei Tecmo released another new trailer of the upcoming JRPG  Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream.

This time around, the trailer introduces Alette Claretie following the one that showcased Sophie herself, the one focusing on Plachta, the third on Ramizel, and the fourth on Alette.

He’s voiced by veteran actor Tomoaki Maeno, whom you may know as the voice of Kyo Kusanagi in the latest The King of Fighters games, Ash Carbide in the Trails series, Luke in Street Fighter V, Zhongli in Genshin Impact, and many more roles.

You can check the video out below.

A special Lapras-themed cafe will soon be opening for business for a limited time in Sendai, Japan. Lapras, a fan-favorite Water-type Pokemon, was chosen as the cafe’s mascot because it’s the ambassador Pokemon of Miyagi Prefecture, of which Sendai is the capital.

The cafe will offer a variety of Pokemon-themed menu items, and Lapras won’t be the only Pokemon featured; there will also be food with Pokemon designs such as Geodude and Chansey, which are the official Pokemon of the nearby Iwate and Fukushima Prefectures.

You can see some examples of what types of menu items can be ordered below.

Today NIS America revealed the western release dates of the escape game/bullet hell shoot ’em up hybrid Yurukill: The Calumniation Games.

The game will launch in North America on June 7 and in Europe on June 10, a couple of months after the Japanese release. This is still only for PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, while the PC release remains unannounced.

You can check out trailer below.

If you’re not familiar with the game, it’s written by Homura Kawamoto, whom you may know for creating Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler, and by his younger brother, Hikaru Muno.

The character design is by mangaka Hiro Kiyohara, who worked on Valkyria Revolution, while the music is by Yuko Komiyama, known for the Monster Hunter and Mega Man series.

Here’s how the developer describes Yurukill: The Calumniation Games.

Potterheads, rejoice! HBO Max has formally unveiled a sneak peek behind the curtain for its eagerly-anticipated Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts retrospective.

Go ahead and feast your eyes on the new pic down below:

The image comes by way of HBO Max’s official Twitter channel and is accompanied by the words: “Like they never left. Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: #ReturnToHogwarts premieres New Year’s Day on HBO Max.”

As you can see, this new tidbit focuses on the three central stars of the Harry Potter film franchise: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. It’s the first time they’ve been seen together on-screen since 2011’s Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

If you have been messing around the wild and crazy wild of GTA Online, Rockstar is preparing new story content update that will bring back a familiar face. On December 15, Franklin Clinton, one of the three main protagonists of the single-player portion of Grand Theft Auto V, will make his way into GTA Online, together with Dr. Dre and new and unreleased music from the rapper in The Contract.

If you are familiar with Kickstarter, then the crowdfunding platform you know and might have used is going to see some big changes. The company has shared that it will be supporting the development of “an open source protocol that will essentially create a decentralized version of Kickstarter’s core functionality.” This protocol will be the start of a Kickstarter blockchain, available to anyone to build on or use.

This will be driven by an independent organization, with funding provided by Kickstarter. A board will be appointed, and Kickstarter will also be the first to utilize the protocol. This protocol will be built on Celo, an open-source and carbon-negative blockchain, which is also in line with how the company wants to move things forward.

In addition, there will also be the establishment of an independent governance lab that will oversee the development of the protocol governance. Research will be expected to be public, with learnings shared, while openly engaging with challenging problems and critically important goals of good governance. This lab will be led by Camille Canon, co-founder and most recently executive director of Purpose Foundation (US), an organization focused on developing and scaling alternative ownership and governance models.

The current plan is for Kickstarter to migrate over to the new blockchain protocol in 2022, and what that entails for the business side of things like crowdfunding remains to be seen. The statement did reiterate that the experience will “stay the same” but a lot of things can change between now and the eventual migration.

Today Avex released another trailer of the currently-airing Muv-Luv Alternative anime series.

Like the one released last week, this trailer is an excerpt of the extensive battle scene featured in episode 10, which debuted earlier today.

Mecha animation is likely the strongest point of the series, and today’s scenes weren’t an exception.

The Book of Boba Fett is almost here, as the legendary Star Wars bounty hunter is set to arrive on Disney+ in just a few short weeks on Dec. 29. To celebrate his return, Disney has been releasing a slew of short teaser videos that highlight what fans can expect regarding Boba Fett’s journey amongst the criminal underworld of Tatooine.

Earlier today, another trailer was released, and this time it was entirely centered around “The Return” of the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter.

Fans can experience more about Boba Fett’s journey later this month when the series arrives on Disney+. In the meantime, for more information about The Book of Boba Fett, here’s an official rundown courtesy of Disney:

“The Book of Boba Fett,” a thrilling Star Wars adventure teased in a surprise end-credit sequence following the Season 2 finale of “The Mandalorian,” finds legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigating the galaxy’s underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate. 

Today Square Enix released new trailers of the upcoming mobile game Bravely Default Brilliant Lights.

The trailers introduce familiar characters from the original game that will appear in Brilliant Lights.

We see Tiz Arriorm, Agnès Oblige, Edea Lee, and Ringabel. Not only we get a brief introduction of every character, but we also see actual gameplay, which is always nice.

We also learn that the game will have the traditional “Brave” and “Default” feature that is traditional of the series, and has been adapted for smartphones.

You can check out the trailer below.

A few short weeks after its surprise multiplayer launch, Halo Infinite’s campaign has officially gone live today, allowing fans to jump back into the series and experience all of the changes the next installment has to offer.

To make sure that players are having the best time physical possible, the developers over at 343 Industries are making sure fans are completely in the loop when it comes to updates and feedback. So much so that Halo Community Director Brian Jarrard has gone out of his way to reassure fans of an issue they just noticed that will be fixed in the near future.

According to Jarrard, anyone playing the Halo Infinite campaign while offline, or even those that get disconnected from the servers while playing – won’t be able to get the cosmetics they unlock via Armor Lockers in their multiplayer inventory. He recommends that players not Quick Resume or play offline if they want to avoid this issue until the team can get it fixed.

With Spider-Man: Now Way Home Just around the corner, fans simply can’t get enough of their favorite neighborhood web-slinger. A lot of that has to do with the interactions that the movie will showcase, as there are lots of returning, infamous names that have appeared throughout the franchise set to return.

Arguably one of the most important returning figures is that of J. K. Simmons, who is reprising his role as J. Jonah Jameson, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle with an extreme distaste for Spider-Man. Since his return in the last film’s post-credit scene, fans have been dying to see more of the character.

In fact, to help prepare fans for J.K Simmons’ full return to the Spider-Man franchise, one digital creator even went as far as to create a hilarious parody that just works perfectly. As you can see below, Corridor Digital creator Natalie Roman replaced Miles Teller in Whiplash with Tobey Mcguire’s Spider-Man.

Third-party developers have released new addons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, on top of sharing new announcements and updates.

Originally released on PC back in 2016, OneShot is an acclaimed indie title that boasts an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ user review score on Steam, and a ‘Generally Favorable’ review average of 80 on Metacritic. Most of the praise that was heaped upon OneShot cites the game’s thought-provoking narrative and haunting atmosphere as some of its strongest assets.

Today on social media, the official Sonic the Hedgehog movie account unveiled the first poster for its upcoming sequel, featuring Sonic, Tails, and a Robotnik that looks much more like his game counterpart.

Earlier today on Twitter and YouTube, the official Pokemon Unite account released a new video detailing multiple winter-themed Holowear, news pieces of clothing, and a snowy four-on-four mode. This is just the second themed event to come to the mobile game of the year nominated Pokemon Unite since the game launched back in mid-July earlier this year.

Starting off with the Holowear, a handful of Pokemon will be receiving some brand-new clothes that celebrate the winter season. Pikachu gets an adorable little Santa costume that features the electric mouse flying in a sleigh for his return to base animation. Even his unite move gets a little extra visual upgrade where presents start flying out of any opponent hit by the attack. And slamming on the opponent’s goal makes a ring of presents shoot out of there.

Just like Pikachu, five other Pokemon will be getting Santa hat holowear as a part of the Unite Winter event. Garchomp, Mamoswine, Dragonite, Gardevoir, and Blastoise will all be joining in on the fun. However, these skins don’t appear to have any special visual changes to attacks, slams, or returning to base.

Today Sega and Creative Assembly released another brand new trailer of the upcoming Warhammer strategy game Total War: Warhammer III.

This time around the focus is on the Slaanesh chaos faction, showing many of its units on the field, from the most powerful to rank and file.

You can check it out below, alongside a breakdown of the faction from the press release.

Slaanesh Legendary Lord – N’Kari

N’Kari, the Arch-Temptor, scours the immortal and mortal realms to experience the ultimate sensation and taste ecstasy in its purest form.

On the battlefield, he is an extremely fast and vicious Exalted Daemon that excels at hunting isolated enemy characters and units. His unique passive ability, Harvester of Souls, heals him whenever an enemy unit has been fully killed nearby, whilst his Willing Prey ability significantly reduces enemy melee defence and attack, leaving them vulnerable to a quick and agonising death.

Slaanesh Playstyle

The Champions skin bundle released as part of this month’s festivities for the game’s biggest esports tournament of all time was cool for more reasons than just its design.

Part of the appeal of purchasing the bundle was the promise that 50% of the proceeds would be evenly distributed amongst the 10 teams competing. It was a nice way for fans to support their teams, and it meant extra money for players from smaller regions and minor esports orgs that don’t typically support notable salaries.

Today, Riot Games has announced that a whopping $7.5 million has been raised for the 10 qualified Champions teams, meaning that each should receive around $750,000. Given the prize for the tournament’s winning team is $350,000, this is no insignificant amount of money and it should help ensure esports organizations continue their interest in Valorant as an esport. It’s a win for Riot Games, the fans, players, and esports organizations alike.

Through your support the Champions Collection has raised more than $7.5M for qualified Champions teams!

You can continue to support participating teams until the Champions Collection leaves the store on December 13. pic.twitter.com/A2nAT8GOjB
