Soon Square Enix will celebrate the 8th anniversary of the launch of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which means that “The Rising” is coming back.

The event has been celebrated every year since 2014, reminding players of how the game was reborn from its ashes on August 27, 2013.

It’s an emotional moment for many players and the development team usually plays with our heartstring with the story included in the dedicated questline. Especially those who have been around since the very beginning in 2010 should likely prepare to shed a tear or 10.

The event will be available from August 27 (which is the anniversary of A Realm Reborn’s Release, one day after the end of the Moonfire Faire) until September 9.

To start the questline you need to talk with Kipih Jakkya in Ul’dah’s Steps of Nald district and you need to be at least level 15.

This year’s prizes include a Red Moon parasol and a Nymeia Potpurry firework, which you can see below.

Today Square Enix hosted a 1.5-anniversary livestream for its popular mobile JRPG War of The Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.

During the event, we got two relevant reveals: the collaboration with the Final Fantasy VII Remake that was launched in Japan in April is coming west.

Specifically, it’ll start next week on August 25 and it’ll feature Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barret from the Remake.

On top of that, we also got a less obvious one. A crossover with Tomb Raider featuring Lara Croft herself will launch on September 22.

You can check out trailers for both crossovers below.

Atlus has released another trailer showing off the gameplay of one of the over 200+ demons that will be featured in its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

The demon showcased today is Vishnu, which has been around pretty much since the beginning of the series.

You can watch the trailer below.

2K games just slapped a release window on its upcoming Wrestling game WWE 2K22.

The game will launch in March 2022, with platforms yet to be announced.

The game was announced all the way back in April, with another teaser trailer that showcased a rather detailed model of Rey Mysterio. Yet, it looks like we’ll have to wait longer for further information, which will be revealed in January 2022. That’s only two months before release.

The reveal came with a teaser trailer, which, while brief, shows some popular faces among the WWE roster.

The game seems to have adopted the “It hits different” catchphrase, and the official website has a newsletter form if you want to hear the news directly.

You can check it out for yourself below.

While platforms haven’t been announced, 2K games may be trying to hit wide to relaunch its Wrestling series after skipping WWE 2K21.

I would be surprised if it came to everything with a chip, from PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles all the way to the Nintendo Switch.

That being said, this is just my speculation, so we should wait and see what 2K announces next. We’ll see what they say in January.

Today Type-Moon released a new TV commercial of the remake of the legendary visual novel Tsukihime, titled Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon.

The trailer introduces the main cast of the game with particular attention on, Arcueid Brunestud, one of the main heroines.

You can enjoy the video below.

If you’re unfamiliar with Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon, it was originally an eroge released for Windows in December 2000 by Type-Moon, the creators of the Fate series. It was then adapted in 2003 into an anime series titled Shingetsutan Tsukihime.

It also inspired the Melty Blood fighting game series, and that’s also getting a new game, Melty Blood: Type Lumina.

Written by the extremely prolific Kinoko Nasu, it’s considered the predecessor of that Fate/stay night that spawned the super-popular Fate franchise. The similarities are certainly quite visible.

Microsoft revealed two brand new trailers of its upcoming strategy game Age of Empires IV.

Both trailers focus on showing implements of defense and destruction that you’ll be able to use in the game.

Specifically, we see Nest of Bees Rockets and Palings, taking care respectively of defense and offense.

You can find both videos below.

Microsoft Flight Simulator doesn’t know slow news days even on the weekend. Today third-party developers have released several add-ons.

We actually start with a development update from Ouroboros, which is working on an impressive Embraer E170. The update was posted on the developer’s Discord server.

Below you can check out screenshots from within the simulator and renders of both the exterior and interior of the aircraft. You can also read an update from the developer.

“Hello everyone! I’d like to show off our nearly completed beta cockpit 3D Model. The model renovations went okay with a lot of optimization and textures still needing love. While the textures are started this month, the displays will continue to get the magic sauce from our screen developer. The decals for the entire cockpit backlighting were put into place and they look outstanding at any angle and focal length.

We would like to demonstrate the jet in a development video, but we have not found a good way to set this up yet and we are rather busy with the jet development itself. Any free time we get goes into making the jet better day by day. Sim Update 5 posed a decent challenge for us this month as a few of our package builders refused to work all together.

I am glad to announce we have assembled our livery team on the E170! Quick Special shout out to Ashie, Holland, Noga for their continuous support when we need it through the screen development process. It means a lot to us!”

Chinese developer Game Science updated the official website of its action-RPG Black Myth: Wukong with tons of screenshots and art.

Following the release of the brand new gameplay trailer that marked the shift to Unreal Engine 5, we get to see a series of artwork introducing monsters and environments, plenty of new screenshots, and more images showcasing intricately crafted locations.

You can check the art in the gallery below.

Atlus has released another trailer showcasing the gameplay of one of the over 200+ demons that will be featured in its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

The demon showcased today is Orthus, another returning demon that has been part of the franchise since basically forever.

You can watch the trailer below.

Bandai Namco released a new batch of trailers about its upcoming cross-generation JRPG Tales of Arise.

Like the series of promotional videos released two weeks ago and another set last week, the trailers showcase a few of the recurring artes in the series, and how they evolved from the older games all the way to Tales of Arise.

To be specific, we get to see Lion’s Howl, Dragon Swarm, and Thunder Blade.

You can check them all out below.

Today third-party developers delivered plenty of news about new content for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

First of all, Fenix Simulations provided an impressively in-depth video of its upcoming Airbus A320 showing the crazy level of detail and effort that went into modeling the pneumatic system.

On top of that, we get a beautiful screenshot showing the Eurowings livery, provided on the developer’s Discord server. The excellent weathering under the wings and belly of the aircraft is certainly notable.

Earlier today, Niantic revealed in a blog post that Oshawott will be the featured creature for Pokemon GO’s September Community Day event. This is the first time since January 2020 that a Water-type starter will be the single featured ‘mon for Community Day.

Starting at 11 AM local time until 5 PM local time on September 21, Oshawott will be appearing more often in the wild along with a shiny version of the Sea Otter Pokemon. And if you have some Rainy Lures on hand, you’ll be able to attract even more Oshawott by putting one of those special lures on a Poke Stop during the Community Day event.

And just like past Community Day events featuring a Water-type starter Pokemon, the fully evolved form of Oshawott (Samurott) will learn the attack Hydro Cannon. This is a powerful attack to use in raids, but it’s more commonly seen in PvP on Pokemon like Swampert and Blastoise.

But that’s not all Samurott will be getting for Community Day. For the first time, a featured Pokemon will get a new move permanently added to its move pool. The powerful Water-type attack, Razor Shell, is going to be a permanent addition to Samurott’s charge moves.

The list down below are all the same standard features that are in just about every Community Day event:

It was a bit of an unexpected but quite welcome surprise for Nintendo to drop a demo for WarioWare: Get It Together! on the Switch eShop last night. The demo provides a small but ultimately satisfying taste into what to expect from the latest in the WarioWare series.

Upon opening it up, I was greeted by a gorgeously crafted cutscene where Wario triumphantly announcing the completion of his latest game. When the rest of the WarioWare Inc. crew gather around to see the game in action, Wario is befuddled by it not functioning. The handheld he holds soon reveals a creepy pair of smiling lips on its screen, quickly transporting the entire cast into its game world. Thus, the micro-game mayhem begins!

For those unfamiliar with the WarioWare series, it involves playing insanely quick mini-games that last on average about five seconds each. Each micro-game has a goal that you’re tasked with completing before time runs out. It’s also important to note that these games are unabashedly silly in all the right ways.

For instance, some of the micro-games in WarioWare: Get It Together! include quickly needing to tweeze the hairs from a statue’s armpits, keeping a ball in the air without it touching the ground, or shooing a series of flies away from a birthday cake off the screen, to name just a few.

Madden 22 on PlayStation 5

Generations of consoles have come and gone without Madden NFL 22 feeling like it has made a true generational leap. Personally, I believe the stagnation is more of a fault of the industry practices that have gone unquestioned now for decades, but regardless of where the fault for that lies, it exists. It’s amplified for the Madden franchise since it has been around for much longer than any other sports game.

The last two editions, this year and last, have solidified for me that I shouldn’t expect much from the Madden franchise anymore, even with new consoles and hardware. Madden has essentially become McDonald’s. You know what you’re going to get, and you either like it, or you don’t. There will hopefully be some new things added to the menu to mix things up from time to time, but you shouldn’t expect an overhaul any time soon.

For what it’s worth, though, I really do enjoy some of the new features that Madden 22 has brought this year. The most noticeable, by far is the addition of a game momentum meter and home-field advantage. While technically not new to EA-developed sports games, it existed in the NCAA series years ago, for dedicated Madden fans or people like me who don’t care about the NCAA, it’s going to feel fresh.

Under the umbrella of what is now being called “Dynamic Gameday” this feature adds a big bar at the top of your screen during games and as the game progresses, whichever team is making big plays more recently will start to push the bar in their favor like a virtual game of tug of war. As the bar progresses towards either the home or away team, they’ll receive perks, called M-Factors, that will benefit that team, such as unlimited stamina, blocking advantages, etc.

Earlier today, 343 Industries put out a development update video on YouTube going over some new details about the upcoming Xbox exclusive, Halo Infinite. Among the new information, there was also the news that two anticipated game modes will not be ready for launch.

To start, the producer of Halo Infinite, Sam Hanshaw, talked about how the preview went and what they learned. Overall, the team viewed the multiplayer preview as a success despite a few hiccups along the way. As Hanshaw put it, “It’s important to have those kinds of problems because those are the things we want to address now rather than have them crop up as a surprise at launch.”

At the end of Hanshaw’s time in the video, he announced that another big-scale flight like the one that happened in late July. The new flight will feature all of the same content as the last one plus four-on-four PvP and Big Team Battle. As of right now, there’s no indication of when this next flight will take place. It was also announced that this flight program will continue after Halo Infinite launches so players can test new features before they officially release.

You can take part in these flights by signing up to be a part of the Halo Insider Program.

Up next, Head of Creative, Joseph Staten, and Community Director, Brian “Ske7ch” Jarrard, reminisced about their time working together on Halo 3 ODST back in 2009. Getting into the actual content, Staten indicated that local split-screen will be available at launch for the console versions of Halo Infinite despite the mode’s absence in the recent flight.

Today Koei Tecmo and Gust released an extensive trailer of the the upcoming Blue Reflection sequel Blue Reflection: Second Light.

The trailer showcases life in the strange world in which the game is set. We get to see crafting, social interaction, gathering, and more.

You can check it out below.

Blue Reflection: Second Light releases in North America and Europe on November 9, 2021, just over a couple of weeks after the Japanese launch on October 21. If you want to see more, you can check out the first trailer, another recent batch of screenshots, another gallery, and the first gameplay.

You can read the official description below.

Compile Heart released a new trailer of Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars, known as “Senran Nin Nin Ninja Taisen Neptunia: Shojo-Tachi no Kyoen” in Japan.

The trailer focuses on the Furinkazan Drive, a ninja transformation technique that can be used at any time wuth effects associated with the elements (Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind). You can use it only a limited number of times per dungeon.

You can check it out below.

Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is a crossover between the Hyperdimension Neptunia series and Senran Kagura, finally bringing the latter back to consoles.

It’s coming for PS4, developed by Tamsoft and published by Compile Heart. The Japanese release is on Sept. 16, 2021, while the west will get it at some point this year, courtesy of Idea Factory international. Here’s how the publisher describes it.

Gamninjustri – a place where all manner of ninjas gather.​ As the struggle for control increased between the Daimyos of the nations, tensions rose between the two great nations, each of which was home to one of the major schools of martial arts.​

In anticipation of the upcoming release of Life is Strange: True Colors, Square Enix has announced the release of the game’s official soundtrack. In the announcement, it was revealed that the soundtrack is composed and performed by award-winning indie-pop group, Angus & Julia Stone. 

Simply titled, Life is Strange, the album features 12 new songs, led by the track Love Song. Fans can actually listen to the entire thing on Spotify, linked here. 

The press release had the following to say regarding the music and how it plays a large role in the experience of Life is Strange True Colors:

“The emotional and thrilling story of the latest instalment in the award-winning Life is Strange franchise, Life is Strange: True Colors inspired the Australian artists to make an album dedicated to the complexity of love between siblings, families and communities – themes that players will also experience in-game.

Players take on the role of Alex Chen, a young woman navigating early adulthood in Haven Springs, a mountain town where she connects with her long-lost brother and becomes a part of a tight-knit community – her brother having moved there in search for their long-lost father. Amidst this backdrop, Alex struggles to accept a ‘curse” she’s dealt with all her life: having the psychic power of Empathy, a supernatural ability that allows her to experience, absorb and influence the strong emotions of others – which she sees as blazing, coloured auras.

When her brother dies in a suspicious accident, Alex must at last embrace her volatile power to find the truth and uncover the secrets that keep the truth at bay. Alex Chen’s journey, power and future are all fully under the player’s control.

After plenty of speculation, Bungie has officially confirmed that the next expansion for Destiny 2 will see the return of the Awoken Queen, Mara Sov, and that new DLC will be titled Season of the Lost. It has been quite a while since fans have seen the character, as she took an extended absence following the Forsaken expansion.

The news came by way of Twitter earlier today, with the post also detailing that a Destiny 2 showcase will also take place next week. 

The Destiny 2 showcase will take place Aug. 24 at 9AM PT, and will center around this upcoming season and next year’s Witch Queen expansion, providing plenty of details for both. Destiny 2: Season of the Lost is set to launch the same day. 

Kitfox Games‘ Boyfriend Dungeon has been out for a little while now, and in that time, we’ve been able to assemble a ranking list of the best and worst weapons to take on your trips to the dungeons within the game. Taking the right weapon can mean all the difference between a successful run through a “dunj” and a trip back to your apartment via ambulance.

The latter isn’t exactly the best way to end a date in a dunj, so prepare yourself well with the correct character for the right situation. Do note that no weapon is really poor per se, as each has their own advantages and disadvantages, some more than others. With that, let’s get to the rankings.

Following the reveal of Genshin Impact version 2.1 “Floating Under the Moonlight,” Mihoyo revealed the first gameplay.

The update comes on September 1, and apparently, it has a ton of content and features.

First of all, we take a look at the decorations for the Moonchase Festival, which is the main event of the update. We also see more event gameplay and information, including the funny “Luxurious Sea Lord” weapon.

It’s Friday, which means you’ve made in through another long week of work, school, or just life in general. And is there any better way to celebrate the triumph that is getting to the weekend than by consuming some amazing anime memes?

Whether it is Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, or Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, these memes will surely get at least one or two good laughs out of you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy all of the content.

Also, be sure to let us know which ones were your favorites in the comments below. Also, don’t hesitate to leave any other great memes that we may have missed down there that helped kickstart your weekend.

Today Izanagi Games released another gameplay trailer of its upcoming escape game/bullet hell shoot ’em up hybrid Yurukill: The Calumniation Games.

The trailer showcases more gameplay, and more specifically focuses on the “Crafty Killers” duo, Gentoku Omuro and Izane Akegarasu.

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.

You can check out the trailer below.

Atlus has released another promotional video showcasing the gameplay of one of the over 200+ demons that will be featured in its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

The demon showcased today is Byakko, another returning demon that has been part of the franchise for a long time.

You can watch the trailer below.

Ghost of Tsushima’s open world is among the most compelling we’ve ever explored here at Twinfinite, owing to its breathtaking landscape, animated by some of the prettiest graphics ever seen in gaming. It was also fairly large in size, ranking among the biggest games we’ve measured over the past decade in total size. Now, developer Sucker Punch has expanded its size even further with an all-new expansion called Iki Island. Here we’re going to detail how big the Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island map is, according to our rough map measurement estimation.

One of the coolest parts about the Red Dead Redemption 2 single-player story campaign is that you get to experience what riding together in a group of people was like back in the old west. You’d work together to provide for the overall camp, hunting, working, and surviving together as a group. 

In Red Dead Online, this isn’t really as much of a focus. Sure, you can play with your friends and even meet new people to form a new posse, but it isn’t very easy. People often either only want to play story missions or end up focus their time griefing other players, shooting at them unrelentingly, even if unprovoked. 

That is what makes the story that was posted to the Red Dead Online subreddit so impressive. In the post, user LDG192 told the story of how they were able to get their entire lobby to not only get together and not kill one another but also managed to form a trail ride to watch the sunset together. 

Today MiHoYo revealed Genshin Impact’s version 2.1, titled “Floating Under the Moonlight.”

The update, which will launch on September 1, includes three new playable characters that you can get (plus Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn if they’re on PlayStation, other players will get her in version 2.2) alongside plenty of seasonal event rewards.

The story of Inazuma will come to its conclusion, while two more islands will be added.

You can check out the trailer and relevant screenshots below.

Rick and Morty made its debut back in 2013, centering around the adventures of drunken scientist Rick and his not-so-smart grandson Morty. It quickly became popular as a unique animated sitcom with its well-written direct humor and ability to confront real-world matters by spinning the characters into ridiculous situations. It’s no longer 2013, and fans now have a few seasons to enjoy and go back to. If you’ve ever thought about ranking Rick and Morty seasons, we’ve got you covered here with our very own list.

Here is our ranking of the Rick and Morty seasons from worst to best, including the latest below! Here’s to hoping it’s a high-IQ interpretation of each season and its relative importance– we know one has to be of certain intelligence to understand Rick and Morty, of course.

Humankind on PC

The 4X grand strategy genre has long since been dominated by Sid Meier’s Civilization series, and for good reason too. The foundation of that series is so strong that it’s hard to talk about any other game in the genre without making some sort of reference to Civ. The two are practically synonymous at this point, which is what makes Humankind such an interesting prospect.

Developed by Amplitude, Humankind is, without a doubt, the biggest competitor to Civilization we’ve seen in recent years. Sporting a clean UI and a few new mechanics that help set it apart from Civ, Humankind does feel like a breath of fresh air and a worthy evolution of the genre… but it’s not without its missteps.

If you’ve played Civ, Humankind should feel immediately famililar. You’re exploring a large map made out of hexagonal tiles, you’re establishing outposts that soon become cities, and you’re building districts and researching various technologies to advance your empire and become the greatest civilization humankind has ever known. Right from the start, though, it’s clear that Humankind is a lot more interested in historical authenticity (not accuracy, mind you) than Civ ever was.

Instead of picking a set civilization to play as for the entire game, you start as a Neolithic tribe that’s just wandering the lands, hunting animals and looking for a place to settle down. It’s only when you’ve found your roots and made enough progress as a tribe that you’re able to enter the Ancient Era, and that’s when you get to pick a culture to follow for that era. And here’s the kicker: you get to pick a new culture each time you enter a new era.

Metroid Dread is sure to have nostalgic Nintendo fans chomping at the bit for a return to some classic side-scrolling action, and they don’t have too much longer to wait ahead of its October launch. In the meantime, a new cinematic trailer today called ‘Another Glimpse of Dread’ sets the scene for its mysterious sci-fi story, while a developer report provides a detailed over on Samus’s arm cannon and various abilities.

You can read the full developer report here, which runs through Samus’s arm cannon, missiles, beam cannon, parkour abilities, as well as providing a little context to her backstory for those who aren’t familiar with the iconic character.

Here’s today’s new trailer:

For those not up to speed with Metroid Dread, it was first announced back in June and is the first side-scrolling Metroid game to launch in 15 years. The events of the story take place after those of Metroid Fusion. Here’s the story synopsis via the developer:

Today Marvelous Entertainment released a video featuring almost an hour of music from No More Heroes 3.

The video showcases 20 tracks from the game composed by Nobuaki Kaneko, Jun Fukuda, and more.

The catch is that the video will disappear after a limited time. It’ll be available only until September 2.

Today Chinese developer Game Science released another spectacular trailer of its impressive game Black Myth: Wukong.

This time around, the trailer shows how the game has been transformed via the use of Unreal Engine 5. We also learn that it runs on an Nvidia RTX card with DLSS enabled.

We get to see both gameplay and cutscenes recorded at 4K resolution and 60 FPS in real-time, and as usual, the game looks really, really good.

You can check it out for yourself below.

The studio has been working hard and growing its team in order to develop the game. Last year’s reveal was also meant to attract talent to the studio and apparently, the attempt has been successful.

Black Myth: Wukong is an action-adventure RPG planned for release on PC and all mainstream consoles and cloud platforms able to run the game smoothly. At the moment, there is no specific information about which platforms these will be, nor any release window announced. We’ll have to wait and see.

Kadokawa Games had more images, a video, and details to share about its upcoming strategy simulation JRPG Relayer.

First of all, we learn that the default speed of battle cutscenes is currently at 1.4x, but the team is working on adding a 1.0x speed and a “super” speed setting at 1.7x.

That being said, you can set the speed separately for friends and foes.

Attack animations evolve into three different levels for playable characters, on top of special attacks (Big Bang), backstabs, and more. Enemies also have different options compared to playable characters, so you can enjoy about 100 different attack animations.

We also get the introduction of Chairman Atlas, played by Seiji Kato (whom you can see in his video introduction. He is at the top of one of the most powerful military-industrial corporations based in Belgium.

He is also an ambitious man who is after the acquisition of GT Labo’s supergavity technology. Yet, due to his advanced age, he’s also looking for a potential heir among his many offspring.

Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games released new videos showcasing upcoming content as the free fly event is in full swing.

We get to take a look at the hospitals and clinics that we’ll be able to use soon to get fixed up after getting in the line of fire one too many times.

The second part of the video shows the “gold standard” pass for the Aegis Gladius, Sabre, and Retaliator, which has improved them considerably.

On top of that, as mentioned above, a free fly event is going on right now allowing everyone to take a good look at the game and make their own mind about its current state of development without spending a dime. The event will continue until August 27, so you have one more week to check it out.

You can check the video out below.

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total has recently passed $380 million and it’s currently sitting on $380,610,833.

The number of registered accounts has just passed 3.2 million, and it’s at 3,202,569 at the moment of this writing.

During a panel at Quakecon, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition.

It will release on November 11 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Skyrim, for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PS4.

It includes Skyrim Special Edition plus ten years’ worth of content, including “tons of creations and items.”

If you already have the Skyrim Special Edition you will be able to upgrade to the Anniversary Edition.

At the same time, Skyrim will get a free next-gen upgrade that doesn’t actually require the Anniversary Edition, and as a final bonus, a fishing mechanic will be added.

I guess that was inevitable. Fishing quests will be included and the feature will be free for everyone who has the game. You don’t need to purchase the Anniversary Edition for this either.

If you’re unfamiliar with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you can read our review of the Special Edition. You can also read the official description below.

“Winner of more than 200 Game of the Year Awards, Skyrim Special Edition brings the epic fantasy to life in stunning detail. The Special Edition includes the critically acclaimed game and add-ons with all-new features like remastered art and effects, volumetric god rays, dynamic depth of field, screen-space reflections, and more. Skyrim Special Edition also brings the full power of mods to the PC and consoles. New quests, environments, characters, dialogue, armor, weapons and more – with Mods, there are no limits to what you can experience.”

During a panel at Quakecon, Bethesda talked about the future of The Elder Scrolls Online.

We hear more about the next DLC “Waking Flame,” which will continue the story of Gates of Oblivion. First of all, we get to see the gameplay trailer.

You can check it out below.

A collaboration with the band Trivium has also been announced including a series of initiatives and giveaways. One of the band’s music videos will feature The Elder Scrolls Online gameplay.

The Elder Scrolls Online is currently available for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia. Incidentally, a free play event is going on right now and will continue until August 30.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you can read an official description below.

Today Takeyasu Sawaki’s Crim announced a release date for the PC version of the classic El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron.

The game will be released on Steam between September 1 and September 2, depending on where you live.

It’ll be priced at $31.99 for the first two weeks, and then the price will go back up to $39.99.

An artbook will also be available for $13.99 and a soundtrack for $24.99. That being said, you can get the Deluxe Pack including the game, soundtrack, and artbook within the first two weeks from release for $39.99. It’ll cost $78.97 afterward.

You can check out the trailer below.

Update 8/19/2021: a version of the trailer with English voices has been released.

During a panel at Quakecon, Bethesda talked about the future of Fallout 76.

Following some time spent talking about past updates and how they changed the game, the developers showcased the new Fallout Worlds feature that will come with the major update on September 8, 2021.

We heard about public worlds and custom worlds, in which players can decide the ruleset however they like.

To have your own custom private worlds you need to be a Fallout First member, but if you aren’t, you can still play on one owned by a friend.

We also hear and see about the other features coming with the update in September, and upcoming events including the one for Halloween. More seasonal events will come later this year.

You can check out the video below. There is quite a bit to see. You can also try Fallout Worlds yourself on the public test server.

Today, during a panel at Quakecon, Arkane Lyon provided an in-depth look at the multiplayer feature of Deathloop.

The antagonist Julinana Blake can be played by the AI, but also by another player, who can decide to invade the game of a random player or a friend.

While the protagonist has three lives, Julianna only has one, so she needs to play more carefully, but she has all the powers the protagonist has.

Defeating a player-driven Julianna restores all of a player’s reprisals, and she also drops powerful loot.

Playing as Julianna is optional, and it doesn’t grant campaign progression. Arkane simply wants it to be for fun.

You can check out the video of the panel below, showcasing plenty of gameplay showing Julianna in action.

Deathloop is coming on PlayStation 5 and PC on September 14, 2021. We already know that the console exclusivity for PlayStation 5 is timed.
