Today Koei Tecmo released a new trailer and screenshots localized in English for the upcoming Musou game Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires.

The trailer, which is the English version of the one released for Japan earlier this morning, showcases the ability to play the story with a custom character.

The screenshots focus on gameplay features like scenarios and the interaction and human drama among warlords.

You can check them all out below on top of official details from the press release, the box art, and the Anniversary Box (confirmed only for Europe for now).

We also learn that the game is also coming to Google Stadia, albeit the release date for the platform has yet to be announced, and that the demo will also be released for the west in early 2022.

“In the demo, gamers will be able to experience the new evolved castle sieges, including both invasion battles and defence. Fans will also be able to try out the full version of the game’s edit mode, enabling the complete creation and editing abilities of new officers in detail before release. The edit officer data can then be transferred from the demo version to the full game as long as you are playing the same platform on both the demo and final product.”

If you were to put Shadow of the Colossus‘s hulking bosses and The Pathless‘s fluid movement into a blender, chances are you’d be left with something that looks a lot like Heart Machine‘s latest action-adventure experience, Solar Ash. And today, the third-person sci-fi platformer is officially out on PC, PS4, and PS5.

To accompany the title’s release, the award-winning Hyper Light Drifter developer has dropped a fresh launch trailer to whet fans’ appetites. Feast your eyes on the brand new video below:

With its bold and vibrant aesthetic, huge and intimidating bosses, and its stylish and unique movement, Solar Ash looks set to be an action-platformer that should likely be on everyone’s radar. Don’t just take it from me, though.

Final Fantasy XIV has gone dark for two days in preparation for the early access of the Endwalker expansion and its full patch notes have been released.

You can find them here and they include a ton of information on all the new goodies, content, and improvement we can expect from the expansion.

Of course, this includes more (likely awesome) storytelling, the male version of the Viera race, the Sage and Reaper jobs, and the new areas from Thavnair all the way to the Moon.

Yet, there are also plenty more subtle changes including new deliveries, recipes, gear, housing features and furniture, the “Derplander’s stubble” face option for male midlanders, new hairstyles, new monsters, new mounts, minions, and much more.

The maintenance will end on Dec. 3, 2021, at 1:00 a.m. PST when the gates of Endwalker will finally open for those who have pre-ordered the expansion. Everyone else will have to wait until the official release on release December 7.

In the meanwhile, you can still enjoy the Endwalker benchmark for PC, including the male viera character creation, and you can also read our hands-on preview.

If you’ve been hankering for a 2D Metroidvania experience with a Souls-like feel and tone, then developer White Rabbit Interactive‘s 2018 action-RPG, Death’s Gambit, may be good for what ails you. And with its latest ‘Afterlife’ update now live on PS4, it’s a great time to jump into its moreish blend of dark fantasy and challenging risk/reward gameplay.

That’s right, the same expansion that launched back in September for PC and Nintendo Switch, the Death’s Gambit: Afterlife upgrade adds a myriad of fresh content. From new weapons to new mechanics to completely different endings to entirely new areas, there’s a lot of meaningful extra additions to get your teeth into here.

In fact, the California-based studio boasts that this new free DLC actually “doubles the size of the game.” Go ahead and check out a recent launch trailer for the bonus PS4 upgrade down below:

Today Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the first batch of games honored in this year’s PlayStation Partner Awards.

Unlike previous years, a ceremony isn’t being held, but the results have been announced via a special video.

We also hear about the Special Awards, which have been announced as follows:

More awards will be announced tomorrow, and you can also check out the results from last year, when the awards had an actual ceremony.

Today Clouded Leopard Entertainment announced that the North American and European release of Kadokawa Games’ JRPG Demon Gaze Extra has been delayed.

The game was supposed to launch on December 9, 2021, and will now come on January 6, 2022, for both PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

It will include  Japanese and English voiceovers, while subtitles will be in English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.

Demon Gaze Extra is an enhanced port of the original game developed by dungeon-crawling JRPG masters at Experience Inc. It launched in 2013 for PS Vita placing the player in the role Oz, a young man with a Magic Eye that lets him control demons.

It’s also the sequel of Students of the Round, which was released in 2010 for PSP, Xbox One, and PC.

Here’s a detailed description of the enhancements:

“While the original DEMON GAZE had its fans, some players may have been discouraged by its
challenging gameplay style.
In DEMON GAZE EXTRA, various elements have been tweaked, including the addition of a highspeed battle function, a retry function, and an enhanced autopilot function. Now, even dungeon

RPG beginners need not fear!
The enhanced autopilot function is a streamlined version of the revolutionary feature from the
original DEMON GAZE. This, along with the addition of a high-speed battle function speeds up
repeated battles in dungeons, allowing players to explore labyrinths more easily. In addition, DEMON
GAZE EXTRA has a retry function that allows players to go back to the beginning of a battle and try
again in the event of a defeat.

Following the airing of episode 9 of the Muv-Luv Alternative anime series, Avex released a new trailer.

The video is basically a condensed version of the episode’s absolutely epic battle scenes, which is likely up there with the best mecha scenes in the history of anime. It’s no surprise that Avex is using it to promote the series.

Incidentally, the scene includes a line that has achieved legendary meme status among Muv-Luv fans.

If you think what you’ll see below is good, the full episode (currently aired on Crunchyroll in the west) is even better, and the next one promises to be even more spectacular.

Today El Dia announced EVE: Ghost Enemies, a direct sequel to the legendary visual novel EVE: Burst Error and its own sequel EVE: Rebirth Terror.

The visual novel follows the events of Rebirth Terror, bringing back protagonists Kojiro Amagi and Marina Hojo.

As in the previous games, the story is narrated alternating both points of view.

It’ll release in Japan for PS4 and Nintendo Switch on April 21, 2022. It’ll be priced 8,800 yen for the physical edition, 7,700 yen for the digital one, and 9,900 yen for the limited edition. Someone at El Dia definitely had fun with numbers.

Like EVE: Rebirth Terror, the scenario is written by Kasa Sakaki, while the character design will be handled by the original artist, Nao Tajima.

Further members of the cast for EVE: Ghost Enemies and their voice actors will be announced at a later time.

Below you can enjoy the key art depicting the two protagonists ad and a few screenshots.

Today Koei Tecmo released a brand new Japanese trailer of the upcoming Dynasty Warriors game Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires.

This time around, the trailer doesn’t focus on the famous warlords that the series is famous for, albeit they do appear. It focuses on pur custom character, from his creation and customization to his rise to glory.

Incidentally, the demo promised a few days ago has been released in Japan.

You can watch it below.

Here’s how Koei Tecmo describes the game.

Today Nexon released another trailer of the upcoming fighting game DNF Duel, inspired by the Dungeon Fighter franchise (also known as Dungeon & Fighter in Korea).

The trailer focuses on one of the available characters, the grappler, showing his hand-to-hand combat move.

As usual, it feels very familiar if you compare them to Arc System Works’ games. This shouldn’t surprise since Nexon hired the popular Japanese fighting game developer to create the game. The previous trailer featuring the Berserker and the one showing the Inquisitor give the same feeling.

You can check it out and see for yourself below.

Dungeon Fighter Online is quite popular worldwide (admittedly a lot more in Asia than in the west) and the game has social media accounts in English, so we might certainly expect a western release.

A tweet has announced that Season 2 of free-to-play battle royale Super Animal Royale will be starting December 14. There is even a hint of what is to come with the new season.

The announcement tweet reads:

It’s about dam time.

Season 2, a new map location, Super Animal breeds, CRISPRmas, and more arrive in our next update on Tuesday, December 14th.

The “dam time” seems to hint that the new map location will indeed be a dam. Maybe somewhere in the sparse south with the Goldwood Woods. With Howloween taking up a good portion of October and the lack of a Thanksgiving event, CRISPRmas sounds to be a new seasonal event.

While the tweeted image does feature a beaver, they have long been shown in connection to the game’s updates. With that, it is unlikely they will be among the promised “Super Animal breeds,” but they remain a possible inclusion with season 2.

The new season will no doubt include a new battle pass. The best part of the battle passes in Super Animal Royale is that they never expire, so if you were among those who purchased the Season 1 battle pass, you will still be able to progress through it even if you decide to purchase season 2’s.

Ghostrunner, the cyberpunk parkour-slasher is getting even more content with a new DLC expansion coming in early 2022, with Project_Hel letting players switch sides and become one of the bosses from the base game. As a story-driven expansion, this new content will focus on the game’s second boss, Hel, who will bring her own progression system alongside more combat options.

A total of six missions will come in Project_Hel, with the originally planned scope for this Ghostrunner DLC expanded into something much more. The DLC will see Hel descend the Dharma Tower, with new enemies, bosses, and even more music as part of the package.

Players can also look forward to a free cosmetics bundle courtesy of publisher 505 Games just in time for the holiday season. The Holiday Pack will arrive on December 7, and includes a selection of festive swords and matching gloves.

Interested players can sign up for an early private beta of Project_Hel for Ghostrunner before launch, and you can get your name in the credits as an added sweetener.

You can check out the teaser of Project_Hel below:

Townscaper is easily one of the most beautiful games to have released this year. It sports a lovely Venetian-themed setting, where your little buildings and hamlets are surrounded entirely by water. Players click around to build new structures and construct little cities, and the fresh watercolor palette just adds to the relaxing charm of the game.

If you’re still on the fence for this one, developer Oskar Stalberg has just announced via Twitter that a web demo of the game is now available.

Simply head to this link and you can start playing the game for free on your web browser of choice. It’s also available on Steam, but this could be a more convenient option for players who want an easier way of accessing the game and want an idea of what it’s like before making the purchase.

The Matrix Resurrections is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing and enigmatic film releases of the year, and the latest teaser trailer only serves to highlight that. Warner Brothers has just released a new trailer for the movie, titled Deja Vu, and you can check it out for yourself down below:

The first movie explained that experiencing a moment of deja vu meant that there was a glitch in the Matrix, and it happens when someone has changed something. And that looks to be the key sticking point in Resurrections.

The trailer shows off plenty of iconic scenes from the previous movies, overlaid with new characters and little differences that are just a little off from how we remember them. With the reboot of the franchise, it seems we’re also getting a reboot of the Matrix itself, and it’s exciting to see how it will all play out.

The Matrix Resurrections will air in theaters on Dec. 12.

The post The Matrix Resurrections’ Deja Vu Trailer Teases Huge Changes to the Timeline appeared first on Twinfinite.

It’s no secret that Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service has been knocking it out of the park ever since its inception, and it’s looking like it’ll be closing out 2021 with a bang as well. Microsoft has just announced the December 2021 lineup for Game Pass, and it includes plenty of exciting games for fans to get into.

With Halo Infinite just a few days away from release, it’ll also be made available on Game Pass on Dec. 8 so if you’re already subscribed to the service, you’re all set. In addition to that, we’re also getting the critically acclaimed indie darling Stardew Valley, as well as Among Us.

If you haven’t already dipped your toes into either of these indie games, there’s no excuse now.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is also getting added to the lineup, joining its predecessor FFXIII. It’s a direct continuation of the story, and features Serah Farron and newcomer Noel as its main playable characters. Here’s the full lineup for December:

December 2

• Anvil
• Archvale
• Final Fantasy XIII-2
• Lawn Mowing Simulator
• Rubber Bandits
• Stardew Valley
• Warhammer 40K: Battlesector

December 7

• Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator

December 8

• Halo Infinite

December 9

• One Piece Pirate Warriors 4

December 14

Today we learn that a brand new independent development studio named Alt/Reality has opened in Brazil.

The studio, directed and founded by Lucas Ricardo (who previously worked in QA on games like Pillars of Eternity 2 and The Banner Saga 3) has revealed the design of one of the characters that have been created for an upcoming game.

You can find the full version of the artwork at the bottom of the post.

While it’s too early to hear about specific titles, we received an introduction via press release, which you can read below.

“This brand new studio is built by a talented Brazilian team, under the creative leadership of Lucas Ricardo (Creative Director and founder, former QA for games like Pillars of Eternity 2 and The Banner Saga 3). Alt/Reality aims to deliver projects that cover a wide range of themes, with titles that go from Medieval settings to futuristic and sci-fi universes. Although, our differential falls under what our players will be able to do in each of our upcoming games…

For every title, we will consider gameplay, movements, and animation based on martial arts, special powers, melee combat, and weapons. Firearms will be the least of your concerns since every character can be turned into a whole weapon by itself. At the moment, we have 1 title in active development and a lot of other projects already in consideration. We expect you to have fun while unleashing all your skills with combos and strategic actions using the environment. If you love good ol’ fun combat, impactful characters, and some weird stuff and sense of humor, we probably have something for you.”

DMM and Koei Tecmo released another trailer introducing a character that will appear in their upcoming Musou game Touken Ranbu Warriors.

We get to take a look at Namazuo Toushirou, including both gameplay and cutscenes. It’s the latest of a series of trailers introducing several characters, on top of Ichigo Hitofuri.

He’s voiced by Soma Saito, whom you may know as Chongyun in Genshin Impact, Ike-P in The Caligula Effect, and Lann in World of Final Fantasy.

You can check him out below.

Here’s how Koei Tecmo officially describes the game:

Today third-party developers have revealed quite a lot of new assets about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, including airports and a relevant aircraft.

First of all, new screenshots of Glasgow Airport (EGPF) have been released by Pyreegue. We also learn that it’ll release this week, on top of a list of features, alongside the promise that a custom VDGS system will be implemented after release.

Since its release in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 has stood out as one of the best video games of all time. Even over three years later, players still rave about Arthur Morgan, the Van der Linde gang, and the crazy, emotional adventures that took place throughout the game.

Some of that nostalgia probably has to do with the recent controversy surrounding Rockstar, as fans are not too happy with the quality of the recent release of the GTA Trilogy The Definitive Edition. The games were filled with bugs, control issues, and visual downgrades, leading fans to wonder what would happen in the future if other games in the developer’s catalog received a similar treatment.

The result is a boatload of hilarious memes and even some videos, including the one you see below by YouTuber AkkoCHAKO.

As you can see, this satirical Red Dead Redemption 2 video features some masterful memeing, transitioning from the beauty of the original game to a game state that is similar to what the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition faced upon its release.

In celebration of the upcoming launch of Halo Infinite’s campaign and the series 20th anniversary, Swarovski jewelry is teaming up with 343 Industries to create an insanely cool collection.

Participants in the Swarovski x Halo sweepstakes will be able to win one of two beautiful items:

Ubisoft has released yet another video to provide more info on the upcoming co-op shooter, Rainbow Six Extraction. This one is more of a deep-dive overview that explains the maps, missions, and difficulty settings for the game.

There are 12 maps in the game that are divided into three zones each. And on these maps, players will be taking on the challenges provided by 13 randomized missions types while choosing from 18 Operators who use over 24 devices total to get the jobs done. These missions must be completed while going up against 10 different types of enemies.

2021 has been filled with tons of incredible indie games, like Loop Hero, Cyber Shadow, Inscryption, and so many more. And there is one more banger to fill out the calendar from the team at Heart Machine (Hyper Light Drifter). Solar Ash is a colorful action-adventure experience that sends you speed skating around multiple environments with all kinds of gravity-bending platforming mechanics baked in.

It is a game about going fast and mastering movement, and it tells an important story about cobbling together something worthwhile when life gives you nothing but hopeless situations.

From the start of Solar Ash, you are thrown into a strange and hostile world known as the Ultrvoid. You navigate this black hole that is threatening to destroy your home planet as the Voidrunner, Rei. She is a part of a group (the Voidrunners) that took it upon themselves to save their home planet when the governments of their world could not come to a consensus on how to prevent the world from falling into darkness.

EA Dice has issued full patch notes for its upcoming Battlefield 2042 patch, which is due to launch tomorrow, Dec. 2. The update is substantial, aiming to resolve in part the huge number of glitches, bugs, and performance issues that have plagued Battlefield 2042 since its launch, in addition to adding new weekly missions and a game mode.

In terms of new content, there will be a total of 3 varying missions each week that reward players with XP for completion. In turn, the XP goes toward unique cosmetic rewards. For Battlefield Portal comes new game mode layouts for Rush on all All-Out Warfare maps. Also, several new templates to the Builder, and a new custom mode called Vehicle Team Deathmatch, which allows players to utilize combat vehicles in custom experiences. It will also support logic created in the Rules Editor, allowing players to spawn at team HQ and adding more options when creating custom games.

Below you can find the full list of patch notes for Update 0.3.0.

Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

General

Titanfall, the 2016 multiplayer shooter from Respawn Entertainment, is being discontinued and removed from Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service early next year, March 1. Servers will, however, remain live for those still playing the game.

The news comes by way of an announcement over on the developer’s Twitter channel, which highlights the importance of the Titanfall franchise and Respawn’s intention to keep building games around its universe. It is described as a “north star” for the experiences the developer wants to create moving forward.

It isn’t quite the confirmation of Titanfall 3 that avid fans of the franchise have surely been pining for, but it’s certainly a positive that Respawn is intent on a continuation of its universe in some form — hardly surprising given the success of its Apex Legends battle royale game, which is based on the same lore.

The original Titanfall was, of course, followed by a sequel title that introduced a campaign for the first time. The game received a glowing critical reception but failed to capture a substantial player base, which ultimately saw Respawn abandon the idea of an immediate sequel and pivot to a battle royale spin-off in Apex Legends.

You can read today’s full statement in the image embedded below.

Today Avex has started airing episode 9 of the Muv-Luv Alternative Anime, while the subtitled version will air on Crunchyroll in a couple of hours. This brings the reveal of more voice actors for relevant characters of the series.

We learn that Yuuhi Koubuin is played by Ruriko Noguchi, known for her recent role as Nozomi Nakamura in Tamayomi, Sally in Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense, and Yura in Azur Lane. Alfred Walken is voiced by Wataru Tsuyuzaki.

We also get to see the 3D model used for the F-22A Raptor, which will appear in today’s episode, on top of several animation sketches from Yumeta Company and TSF clips from Graphinica.

I guess some can be considered slightly spoilery, so if you want to go into the episode fully blind, you shouldn’t watch under the Raptor video.

Today Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the games that will be granted to PlayStation Plus subscribers in December 2021 at no additional cost.

We’re getting Godfall: Challenger Edition, Mortal Shell, and Lego DC Super-Villains.

All games will be available on December 7. The “Challenger Edition” of Godfall appears to be focusing on endgame content, providing new players with what they need to team up with existing veterans.

If you’re unfamiliar with any of them, here’s an official description for each.

Godfall: Challenger Edition | PS5 & PS4

Godfall is a looter-slasher set in a bright fantasy universe filled with heroic knights and arcane magic. Embark on adventure in a fantasy action RPG that utilizes high-impact third-person melee combat to engage players as they hunt for loot, don legendary armor sets and defeat vicious enemies. The Challenger Edition focuses on three unique modes: Lightbringer, Dreamstones, and the Ascended Tower of Trials. All three are endgame-level content, but you’ll be immediately equipped with a spread of deadly weapons and skill points, letting you team up with up to two other players* in co-op. Perfect your build and smash your enemies. Challenger Edition’s endgame co-op is compatible with all upgraded editions of Godfall & supports cross-gen play. Godfall: Challenger Edition players can upgrade at any time to the Deluxe Edition gaining access to both Godfall and Fire & Darkness campaigns.

Lego DC Super-Villains | PS4

Today Izanagi Games announced the Japanese release date of the escape game/bullet hell shoot ’em up hybrid  Yurukill: The Calumniation Games.

The game will release in Japan for PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on April 14, 2022, making the previously-announced spring 2022 release window.

You’ll notice that the PC version is not mentioned, likely implying that it’ll launch alongside the western release, which we know will be handled by NIS America. That being said, NIS has not made an announcement yet, so we’ll have to wait and see.

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.

Solve Puzzles

Investigate attractions and uncover clues to help solve the puzzles you encounter.

With their sights set on victory, the teams face their attractions in the Yurukill Games. The documents you acquire by solving puzzles are the key to unlocking the secrets behind everything.

If you love Gundam and Japanese live-action series, Sunrise has a treat in store for you today.

The official GundamInfo YouTube channel just released the six-episode of the Gundam Build Real live-action series for everyone to enjoy with subtitles in English, French, Chinese, Korean, and Thai.

The series translates the Gundam Build universe into the real world. It has begun airing in Japanese earlier this year, and now many more fans around the world can enjoy it.

Below you can watch the six episodes (you’ll have to click on “cc” to activate subtitles) and read an official synopsis of the first to give you an idea of what awaits you.

“Our protagonist Hiro created Team BRIGHT along with his friends when they were in elementary school. The team attracted much attention, especially armament specialist Sota, but their Gunpla (the 78) disappeared on the day before the tournament, leading them to quarrel and split up. Now, four years later, the former group record-keeper Imaizumi sends the other members a video and they meet at their old school. However, Imaizumi isn’t there, and Hiro and his friends find something else instead…”

Nicholas Cage can add yet another iconic role to his long list of gigs as an actor, as Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that he’ll be playing Dracula in Chris McKay’s upcoming adaptation of Renfield. This marks the actor’s first big studio movie since he starred in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence back in 2011.

Cage will play opposite Nicholas Hoult in the film, who plays the titular character, Redfield, who is the infamous henchman of Dracula. McKay will also be producing alongside Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Bryan Furst, and Sean Furst.

The Redfield character originated back in 1897 in Bram Stoker’s Dracula as a patient in an asylum obsessed with drinking blood. Over the years, his character has evolved considerably, with many different takes on his personality and the relationship between him and his vampiric master.

While we don’t have an exact idea of what the plot will follow for Redfield, you can at least check out a description of the character that is taken straight from Seward’s own journal in the novel, he is described thus:

Today, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean’s first 12 episodes officially started streaming on Netflix. This marks the debut of Jolyne Cujoh, the first female protagonist in the series.

For a complete breakdown of the first part of the series, check out Netflix’s official synopsis right down below:

After an accident while on a drive with her sweetheart, Jolyne Cujoh falls into a trap and is sentenced to fifteen years at the state-run maximum-security correctional facility Green Dolphin Street Prison—AKA “the Aquarium.” On the verge of despair, she receives a pendant from her father that causes a mysterious power to awaken inside of her.

Rockstar Games’ remastered trilogy has endured a rough launch, and while a series of updates have helped resolve some of its performance woes, there’s been another unfortunate mishap to round out the saga of its fumbled release. Today, the publisher has announced that the physical versions of GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition have been pushed back by 10 days across all platforms to Dec. 17. The Nintendo Switch version will launch in 2022.

The release dates for the physical versions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition have changed.

Xbox Series X / Xbox One and PS4 will now release on December 17. The Nintendo Switch version is coming in early 2022.

As you can see, no specific reason was given as to the delay, but it’s fair to say that Rockstar Games has been dealing with sorting a myriad of issues with the digital version since its launch.

If you haven’t yet read the game’s latest patch notes, which fix a huge number of graphical and performance issues, you can read them here.

Deep Rock Galactic is a survival-focused crafting game that’s been in early access for a while, but it’s since been officially launched and Coffee Stain Publishing and Ghost Ship Games have just announced that it’ll be coming to PlayStation as well.

Here’s the announcement via the press release:

“While it hasn’t been the best kept secret, we are delighted to finally come clean and stop hiding our long awaited arrival onto PlayStation!” Søren Lundgaard, CEO & Co-Founder, Ghost Ship Games. “We are bringing the game to PlayStation fans at one of the most exciting times in the game’s development path, and are so excited to open the doors to a whole new set of fans.”

Deep Rock Galactic recently introduced the Performance Pass, which is basically a free version of the Battle Pass model that allows players to unlock tons of free content and cosmetics as they continue playing the game. It’s since surpassed the three million player mark, making it one of the more popular survival games out on the market right now.

Deep Rock Galactic is already available on PC and Xbox, and will be coming to PlayStation in January 2022.

The Game Awards is almost upon us, and even if you don’t care about which game wins what award, there’s no denying that the new trailers and performances are always very exciting. In the past few years, we’ve seen bands and artistes like CHVRCHES show up on the main stage to deliver a mini concert, and this year, it looks like we’ll be getting Sting.

With just about a week to go before the launch of the new Endwalker expansion for Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix has released a new post detailing some of the server issues players will likely encounter when the expansion is released. It’s not uncommon for MMORPGs to experience high login queues and congestion, and with all the exciting new content coming in Endwalker, players will need to get ready for that as well.

First off, Square Enix advises players to have their characters created and ready to go before launch, as you won’t be able to create new characters in congested worlds. This shouldn’t be an issue for longtime fans and veterans, but new players should be aware.

Over the past month or so, Amazon Game Studios’ pirate-themed MMORPG New World has been plagued by a number of issues. This includes dupe glitches surfacing because of server transfers and other bugs in the game, forcing the dev team to completely shut down the economy, resulting in un-upgraded towns and halting progress.

To make matters worse, the game has also recently seen a surge in bot activity, where bot accounts are camping some of the more popular resource gathering spots in the game to farm for materials. Considering that resources are not unique to players, and that they must compete with each other to farm them, bot activity means that their progress has been slowed down considerable.

In a statement to Kotaku, Amazon Game Studios reassured fans that they’re definitely aware of increased bot activity in the game and are working hard on banning them as quickly as possible.

“We’re aware of player reports about increased bot activity in New World. Bots pose a persistent challenge for MMOs, and our team has deployed dedicated resources and tooling to identify and combat them. We are committed to continuous improvement in our fight against bots, and yesterday alone, we banned over 7,700 accounts for using bots. Our goal is to ensure New World is fun and fair for all players. We’ll post updates to the New World forums and Twitter as we have them.”

New World is now available on PC.

Motion Twin has been absolutely killing it with Dead Cells updates. The new (and free) Everyone Is Here update is already out on PC and consoles, featuring costumes and weapons from other popular games like Hollow Knight and Hyper Light Drifter. And today, the company has announced yet another paid DLC called The Queen and the Sea.

You can check out the short teaser trailer for yourself down below:

According to the press release, this DLC is slated for an early 2022 release and it’ll introduce two new biomes to the game. Perhaps more excitingly, the DLC will also feature and all-new ending to the game and an alternative final boss, the titular Queen herself.

The teaser trailer offers us a glimpse at the Queen, but we don’t have too many details about the biomes themselves yet. It’s safe to assume that the DLC will add new enemy types and plenty of new weapons to play around with.

Dead Cells is now available on PC and consoles.

The post Dead Cells: The Queen and the Sea DLC Announced for Early 2022, Will Have a New Final Boss appeared first on Twinfinite.

Earlier today on the official Call of Duty Blog, James Mattone revealed a massive amount of new information about Call of Duty: Warzone’s Caldera map along with some changes coming to the battle royale game. It was also announced that Call of Duty: Vanguard players will get exclusive access to the Caldera map on Dec. 8 for 24 hours before it launches for the public in Warzone.

To help celebrate all the new content that has dropped since the last post, creator elpinko has returned with a part two, which they once again posted to the Apex Legends subreddit, as you can see below.

Highlights include Johnny Bravo getting taken out by Cat Dog, Omni Man vs Patrick and SpongeBob, and Rick Sanchez taking on Randy Marsh (Lorde_of_the_Rings) in an epic fist fight to decide who the Champion of the area will be.
