Dragon Ball Z has a lot of legendary fights and rivalries, with most of them involving Goku. Of all of the villains Kakarot has faced, though, none measure up to the enemy/frenemy/friends relationship he has with Vegeta.

Ever since the first season of Dragon Ball Z, these two Saiyan warriors have either been fighting one another literally or fighting to best the other in the form of competitions, getting stronger, or defeating stronger opponents. Arguably the best of these – outside of maybe their first set of interactions – occurs when Vegeta turns into an antagonist again for the sake of power, becoming Majin Vegeta in the process.

The betrayal results in another epic storyline between the two, as Vegeta tries to prove he can best Kakarot even now. To commemorate this classic fight, Youtube channel Woodart Vietnam crafted an epic wood carving, which you can see below.

Ashes of Creation launched a preview of its Alpha One build this past weekend and today it’s open to all testers and some content creators. To celebrate the occasion, developer Intrepid Studio also released a new trailer showing off a bit of what prospective Ashes of Creation players can expect.

I’m still playing through the Alpha One myself, and have a ways to go to really have a good feel for it. There’s not too much I can definitively say at the moment since it’s still in an incredibly early state and so much is subject to change. However, what I can say is that it feels surprisingly polished for an alpha, and appears to be holding up well so far. I haven’t run into any major technical problems. Twitch has a channel set up for it now if you wanted to get a look for it in action while you wait for an opportunity to play yourself.

If you’re looking to join the Alpha One you will need to meet one of the following criteria:

Today third-party developers shared more assets about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, alongside a new release.

First of all, we get the first video of the recently-announced Airbus A320 by Fenix Simulation. We get to see an approach at Sidney and an Autoland procedure.

Do keep in mind that sound isn’t recorded as it’s not ready for prime time yet.

A screenshot shared on the developer’s Discord shows the TCAS system in action, as it can actually fly the aircraft automatically out of harm’s way in case of an imminent collision.

Ah, Doki Doki Literature Club, the romance visual novel where you join a club full of cute girls and it’s up to you to get to know them and use your poetry skills to write your way into their hearts… Yes, that’s totally what the game is about and nothing bad ever happens to our beloved Dokis.

As we all already know, all Dokis are the best Doki, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun trying to figure out which one of the girls is most like you.

That’s why we’ve created this quiz to help you sort that all out. Run through these ten questions in this DDLC Doki personality quiz, and you should have a pretty solid idea of which girl you are the most like.

Mass Effect 2 has some pretty great DLC, featuring missions that let you explore the remains of your ship, commit a grand heist, and even find out the identity of The Shadow Broker. But while all of those are pretty awesome, there are few missions as imposing as Mass Effect 2 Arrival.

Almost as soon as you engage in this mission, you’ll arrive at a base that features a strange clock counting downwards over the door. When you ask one of the characters in Arrival about it, she states that the Reapers will arrive when the clock reaches zero.

Now, obviously, that sounds pretty scary, as the Reapers are the big bad of the series. However, there is a total of 48 hours to spare, so it isn’t too difficult to complete the mission in that time period, especially since it counts down in real-time.

Out of curiosity, one dedicated Youtuber, Synth, decided to see what happens when you wait the full time for the clock to go down. The results were creepy, as you can see in the video below.

First revealed back in June, Death’s Door is fast approaching its release date later this month, July 20, and so naturally publisher Devolver Digital is ramping up the promotion of the upcoming game. A new gameplay trailer today offers a decent look at its quirky and mysterious world, as well as the game’s challenging combat.

If you haven’t heard of Death’s Door, it’s an action RPG played from an isometric perspective, developed by Acid Nerve. Here are its key features according to the game’s Steam Page:

Atlus is continuing its streak of daily trailers focusing on the over 200+ demons of its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

The Bloodborne PS1 Demake project impressed us here at Twinfinite when we first discovered its development last year, but Lilith Walther and her team have been hard at work for much longer than that — since way back in 2017, in fact. Today, she’s released work-in-progress footage of the Father Gascoigne boss fight, which has apparently been a long time in the making.

It appears to run superbly well, appearing every bit the like-for-like demake with animations and the same fluidity of combat as original but reimagined in the gloriously blocky low-poly graphics of a PS1 game.

Walther explains via the YouTube video description that “the level also has some new additions, like the clocktower + its bell tolling and the green lighting which was common in the leaked Project Beast footage,” the latter of which was added in because she felt it appeared more retro the original game’s pale blue/monochrome lighting.

If you’re a fan of the suitably retro music, credit for that goes to TheNobleDemon. Apparently, Walther worked with her to integrate it into the game’s bass code to ensure everything triggers at the correct time.

Walther explains that not everything is perfect, though — the attack animation count for each of the three forms needs to be higher, and other details such as the fog wall and animation transitions need to be added/tweaked moving forward. You can follow her Twitter for regular project updates.

In the meantime, check out the boss fight for yourself below.

Deadpool is one step closer to forcing his adult humor into the MCU, as a video that shows the Merc With a Mouth reacting to the trailer for the upcoming release of Fall Guy was posted to Ryan Reynolds’ Youtube channel. What does that have to do with the MCU? Well, he is joined by none other than everyone’s favorite rock warrior Korg.

As you can see below, the video starts off with the two bantering, with Deadpool mocking both Korg, Fall Guys, and even his own film, Deadpool 2, with his typical sarcastic brand of humor.

The entire video is hilarious, especially when you put together that the person who voices Korg, Taika Waititi, is also the villain of Fall Guys. Finding that out helps make this odd couple pairing make a lot more sense in hindsight, with each actor serving as the two most important roles in the upcoming film.

The clip ends with Deadpool asking Korg for tips to get into the MCU, which leads the former Sakaar prisoner to monologue about hitting your lowest point and then checking your email for something from Marvel.

What did you think of the reaction? Do you think this means Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is one step closer to making his way into the MCU? Be sure to let us know in the comment section below.

This year brings another iteration of 2K’s acclaimed basketball game, NBA2K, and today the developer/publisher has confirmed that its launch date is locked in for Sept. 10 for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

Three different versions of the game will be available:

• Standard Edition – $69.99 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, and $59.99 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
• Cross-Gen Digital Bundle – $79.99, and grants players access to the Standard Edition across previous- and new-gen within the same PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
• NBA 2K22 NBA 75th Anniversary Edition – $99.99 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

Cross-generation upgrades are available with both the cross-gen bundles and the Anniversary Edition.

Depending on which you pick up, you’ll have a selection of different cover athletes, including Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Luka Dončić, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will feature on its cover.

Luka Doncic, a Two-time NBA All-Star, is the cover athlete for the Standard Edition and Cross-Gen Digital Bundle, while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dirk Nowitzki, and Kevin Durant feature on the cover of the NBA 75th Anniversary Edition.

Today, in a new featurette video that interviews three of the star players, the athletes reflect on the changing dynamic of modern basketball and the history of the NBA2K series. Check it out below.

Today Furyu hosted a livestream from Japan showcasing a further look at the upcoming school JRPG Monark.

We get to see quite a lot of gameplay including exploration of the school, battles, and customization of the Genus, which is somewhat akin to your Persona in the game.

you can check it out below, alongside a look at new characters revealed for the game.

Following its reveal back in June, SEGA’s anticipated upcoming modern HD remaster of the Super Monkey Ball trilogy is fast approaching its Oct. 25 release date, and today the developer/publisher has revealed a new trailer showcasing its whacky story but wonderful story mode.

Here’s a description of the game if you aren’t up to speed with the series:

Roll through the lush scenery of Jungle Island, catch a spa day in the Bubbly Washing Machine, or navigate the devious mazes of Dr. Bad-Boon’s Space Colony hideout in your quest to save your beloved bananas! Immersive comic-book-style storytelling and a delightful cast of new playable characters debut in this faithful remaster, which features every world and stage from the beloved original games enhanced with new graphics and content.

The enhanced new version of the game will feature over 300 delightfully recreated stages from the original three Super Monkey Ball games, as well as a boatload of new stages.

Finally, Bless Unleashed’s anticipated PC version is nearing its full launch. Several beta tests over the course of 18 months or so have been building to its release next month, and today developer Neowiz Games has offered a small glimpse of the action to come with a short trailer.

As a reminder, Bless Unleashed is an action MMORPG set in a sprawling fantasy open-world built in Unreal Engine 4. It was originally launched as “Bless Online” before being scrapped and rebooted as Bless Unleashed. The new version has since launched on Xbox One and PS4 last year, but a PC port has been long in the making.

The game features deep combo-driven mechanics, player customization, along with cooperative (player-versus-enemy) and competitive (player-versus-player) multiplayer modes.

Ever since debuting in 2019, Demon Slayer has taken the entertainment world by storm. On top of an impressive debut season that captivated audiences, the movie adaptation of the Mugen Train arc has broken multiple records.

Hot off the heels of the movie’s success, Aniplex recently released an English-subtitled trailer for season 2 of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime. While the trailer only showed off a few scenes for the upcoming Entertainment District arc, it was more than enough to get fans excited.

To keep that hype train going, a key visual was released that featured all of the important and supporting characters that will play a role in this season. Obviously, characters like Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu are present, but they aren’t actually at the forefront of the poster. Instead, Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui is center stage.

Today NIS America announced the release date and revealed a new trailer of the English localization of Furyu’s JRPG The Caligula Effect 2.

The trailer focuses on gameplay, showing off battle and features. We learn that the game is coming for PS4 and Nintendo Switch on October 24, 2021.

You can check it out below alongside a music clip focusing on #QP.

The Caligula Effect 2 originally launched in Japan on June 24 for PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

When it comes to movies, it’s fair to say that the heroes often take up the bulk of the limelight. However, with TV shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and movies like Maleficent and Joker breaking into the pop culture zeitgeist, it’s clear that modern audiences are just as fascinated with the baddies as the white knight heroes. With that in mind, we thought that now would be a good time to test your knowledge on the most iconic horror movie villains of all time.

Much like our recent trivia quiz on Video Game Villains, we’ve compiled a list of classic horror movie antagonists for you to try and identify. The rub? You’ll only have a single picture to help you. Thankfully, not only do they say a picture speaks a thousand words, but we all know that the picture rounds in quizzes are the funnest rounds of all, right? In other words, this shouldn’t prove too challenging for all you gore-hounds out there!

So, without further ado, sharpen up those kitchen knives, rev up those chainsaws and don your blood-splattered hockey masks as we take a trip through some of the most iconic horror movie villains ever conceived. Good luck!

Today Square Enix announced a brand new Bravely Default game for mobile platforms, titled Bravely Default brilliant Lights.

The new JRPG will launch for iOS and Android at some point down the line, and we get to take a look via the first trailer that you can watch below alongside the key artwork and first screenshots.

The character design is by Raita Kazama, while the battle system is optimized to play on smartphones.

Not only it’ll have original characters, but known faces from the past games of the series will also appear.

A release window has not been announced, but we know that the game is going to be (predictably) free to play with optional microtransactions.

Incidentally, Bravely Default Brilliant Lights is Square Enix’s way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original game, which launched on October 11th, 2013. We also learned that the series has achieved over 3 million cumulative shipments.

Koei Tecmo introduced a new girl to its endlessly-growing free-to-play game Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation.

Her name is Elise and she defines herself as a “leader.” Apparently, she has come to the island to straighten the lazy owners’ backs and turn them into efficient administrators.

She is 22, 168 cm tall, sized B94, W58, H90, blood-type A, and her hobbies are collecting stationeries and achieving new qualifications. Basically, she’s a natural-born workaholic. Her birthday is on September 3 and she is voiced by Asami Seto.

You may know her as Saint Louis and Sovetskaya Belorussiya in Azur Lane, Sonia Blanche in Shining Resonance, Wildbell in the Atelier Dusk series,  Raphtalia in The Rising of the Shield Hero, Mirage Farina Jenius in Macross Delta, and many more roles.

You can check her out in the video below.

Do keep in mind that Elise’s introduction doesn’t mean that you can unlock her immediately unless you’re willing to pay cold hard cash for the opportunity.

The new character is already available exclusively via a paid gacha. While the SSR rate is the usual 1.10%, Koei Tecmo pretty much cheats by throwing in a bunch of unrelated SSR outfits reducing the percentage to a ridiculously low 0.78% to actually get Elise. She likely won’t be available in non-paid gacha for several months.

As hinted yesterday by the opening of the Steam page of Super Robot Wars 30, today Bandai Namco confirmed that it is indeed coming west.

The game will launch in North America and Europe day and date with the Japanese launch on August 28 for PC via Steam. Apparently, the PS4 and Switch versions aren’t coming west (but you can still import them from South East Asia if you prefer playing on consoles with English subtitles). Pre-purchase is already available on Valve’s storefront.

This is a rather relevant moment for those who enjoy the Super Robot Wars series as it’s the first time a mainline game is launched in the west.

The Original Generation spin-off series (which comes with its own original characters and robots, bypassing any licensing issue) had already debuted in the west with its first two games on the Game Boy Advance, but this si the first time that we get the “real thing” with all of its crossover goodness between mecha anime series from our youth and more modern ones.

Below you can check out the debut trailer and a few screenshots.

The Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection was released for PC and consoles last month, and while its performance on consoles has been just fine, the PC experience has been rather lacking, to say the least. There were no options whatsoever to tweak the game’s graphics or resolution settings; you just had to make do with what the game gave you.

Thankfully, Koei Tecmo has since pushed out a patch via Steam to rectify that issue. After downloading and installing the patch, PC players will now be able to play around with the following graphics options:

• Display Mode
• Resolution
• Vsync
• Triple Buffering
• Anti-Aliasing
• Depth of Field
• Display Shadows

These might seem like pretty basic options that any PC game should have, but considering that Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection launched without them, this is a big upgrade for those playing on PC.

The post Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Finally Gets Some Graphics Options on PC appeared first on Twinfinite.

Third-party developers have released new assets and information about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, while a relevant airport has been released.

First of all, we get more screenshots or the newly-announced Airbus A320 by Fenix Simulation released on the developer’s Discord.

Interestingly, one of the screenshots shows the BUSS (Back-Up Speed Scale) feature that prompts the pilot to “fly the green” when airspeed readings are unreliable, for instance when all three ADIRS are faulty or switched off.

Kadokawa Games is continuing to unveil new details about the upcoming mecha strategy JRPG Relayer.

Today we hear directly from director and producer Yoshimi Yasuda that the game is going to be a rather big experience.

Yasuda-san mentions that the developers are working on a post-campaign challenge mode similar to the Labyrinth of Yomi in their previous game, God Wars.

He also explains that there are four modes of play: the main scenario campaign takes an estimated 40 hours to complete. Developing characters in the battle simulator can take 20 additional hours. Playing the post-story content mentioned above can take another 40 hours, and then you can enjoy the “Lap Play” (which is the way Japanese gamers describe New Game+ type of gameplay, even if no info was provided on what it will entail specifically).

Mecha Knights: Nightmare solo developer Damian Kubiak released a new video of his upcoming mecha battle game.

The trailer provides a look at gameplay in which the player is prompted to use plenty of mecha firepower to fight off massive hordes of monstrous enemies.

You can check it out below as we wait for the Mecha Knights: Nightmare‘s release, which is supposed to come at the end of this month on Steam.

Today Bandai Namco opened the official Steam listing of the upcoming Super Robot Wars 30.

While we already knew that an English localization would be available, the Steam page offers new hope to those who would like the game officially released worldwide (Thanks for the tip: Flareton).

Not only the Steam Page is fully unlocked to all regions, but it includes a trailer with ESRB and PEGI ratings depending on where you watch it from.

Normally, Bandai Namco releases coming exclusively for Japan and Asia have geolocked Steam pages inaccessible from North America and Europe and most definitely don’t include western rating logos in their trailers.

Lastly, pricing in western currency is also available. The Standard Edition is priced at $59.99/49,99€, the Deluxe Edition is priced at $84.99/74,99€, and the Ultimate Edition is priced at $104.99/94,99€. Pre-purchase is already available.

You can see what I mean below, alongside a new gallery of screenshots.

Do keep in mind that Bandai Namco has made no official announcement, so we should wait for an official confirmation before we celebrate.

It’s also worth mentioning that, even assuming that a worldwide release is confirmed, the game may not come west for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays was launched worldwide as well, but only on Steam.

We reached out to Bandai Namco inquiring about this and we’ll keep you updated if we receive a relevant answer.

The release date is, as previously announced, August 28.

The Nickelodeon television channel will be getting its own platform fighting game called Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl coming to consoles later this year, IGN reported today.

According to the report, the game will play similarly to Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros franchise with multiple classic Nickelodeon characters fighting on screen in 20 themed levels, such as Jellyfish Fields from SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Technodrome. It is being developed by Fair Play Labs and Ludosity, the latter which created its own Super Smash Bros-inspired game Slap City.

The game will have a single-player mode and a multiplayer mode that supports up to four players in both local and online play modes. The full roster of characters has not been announced yet, but here is who has been revealed so far:

• Michelangelo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
• Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

• Lucy Loud (The Loud House)
• Lincoln Loud (The Loud House)
• Helga (Hey Arnold!)
• Reptar (Rugrats)
• Zim (Invader Zim)
• Danny Phantom (Danny Phantom)

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl launches in Fall 2021 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

The PC version of Nier: Automata will receive a giant update on Thursday, July 15 that plans to fix some of the issues with the port, according to an update post from the game’s Steam page.

The patch includes several fixes for its graphics such as anti-aliasing adjustments, 4K resolution textures for the UI elements, and a more stabilized framerate. The patch was announced last April, but with no specific details. Here are the full patch notes below:

Changes made

• Borderless Video Settings – Borderless video settings have been implemented.
• Fidelity FX – A Fidelity FX CAS feature has been added.
• HDR – The system will now detect whether HDR has been activated in the Windows display settings, and automatically boot the game in HDR mode if it has.
• Anti-aliasing – Adjustments to the anti-aliasing functionality
• UI textures (4K) – Approximately 270 UI textures for icons, backdrops and UI elements etc. now support 4K resolutions.
• Cut scenes – The bit rate has been improved and all pre-rendered cut scenes adjusted, so they will now play in 60FPS and display in the correct aspect ratio without stretching the picture.
• Global illumination – A new “Global illumination” feature has been implemented. This can be set to three different levels; High, Medium or Low.
• Ambient occlusion/ bloom – The rendering targets for ambient occlusion and bloom effects have been changed to dynamic resolution based on the game’s resolution.

Bug fixes

Spoiler Warning: The following article divulges spoilers for the entire second season of The Boys leading into Season 3. If you haven’t seen it yet, we recommend you come back after watching every episode.

Earlier this week, Amazon Prime posted a promotional video for The Boys Season 3, with the video portraying news from the series’ world similar to how Fox or CNN would in the real world. While the video’s format itself is pretty cool, there are actually a lot of vital details in it that hint at future plot points. 

These are three crucial details that The Boys’ VNN promo revealed for Season 3 of the series. 

Today Capcom released another trailer of its upcoming compilation The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.

We get to see an introduction to another chapter, “The Case of the Sea-Bathing Lady” in which we play an… unusual defense attorney.

You can check it out below, alongside the previous trailers of this series.

The release date for The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is July 27 for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. If you want to see more, you can check out the original announcement and more trailers.

Below you can also read an official description.

Today Cygames and Xseed Games released a brand new DLC character for Granblue Fantasy Versus, and it’s Seox.

To celebrate, we get a new trailer with English subtitles showing Seox in action.

You can take a look below.

Just a few weeks ago we learned that Seox won’t be the last DLC characters to be released for the game (as we originally believed). More will come with the next reveal scheduled for August.

Granblue Fantasy Versus is currently available for PS4 and PC. If you want to read more about the game you can also read our semi-recent interview with director Tetsuya Fukuhara alongside our review.

Today IGN, Sega, and Relic Games partnered up to reveal Company of Heroes 3, the latest installment in the long-running and popular WWII RTS series.

The cinematic trailer sets the mood for the game’s campaign but is light on actual gameplay footage. Fortunately, IGN also live-streamed an extended look at the game of Company of Heroes 3 along with bits of developer commentary.

Company of Heroes 3 will take place in the Mediterranean, a move that Relic Games says is in response to player feedback. Confirmed factions so far include British and American forces.

In addition to familiar mechanics such as flanking and cover, Company of Heroes will add a new breach mechanic which will allow players to get at garrisoned enemy troops in buildings.

Italy will be a core location in Company of Heroes 3 where verticality, true sight, and having the high ground, will be a major gameplay consideration according to the developers.

Other new features include full Navy support, return of PvP, and a single-player-only Tactical Pause, that will allow players to stop the game and relay orders to units; kind of like what was used in Final Fantasy VII Remake if you’re familiar with that.

Today Square Enix released a new trailer of the upcoming mobile JRPG NieR: Re[in]carnation which will be released in the west soon.

The trailer showcases a NieR: Automata Crossover that will come at launch, exactly as it did in Japan.

The crossover event will let players summon 2B, 9S, and A2 for a limited time on top of the appearance of other characters.

You can check the trailer out below.

We also learn that pre-registrations in the west have passed 500,000, unlocking another reward for all players, as you can see in the infographic below.

If you were born after the year 2000 you can safely click away from this article if you want because it’s likely you won’t know what the heck I’m talking about. For you boomer-minded 90s and 80s kids that are still here, let’s carry on.

Chip’s Challenge, the classic Atari & computer puzzle game released back in 1989 is finally being ported to the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. It only took about 30 years, but it’s finally here everyone!

This isn’t the first time Chip’s Challenge has been brought into the 21st century, though. It was released back on Steam nine years ago by Niffler Ltd.

The 16-bit console versions of Chip Challenge will be based on that Steam version and will also come complete with a physical cartridge in both PAL and NTSC versions, and also a box and an instruction booklet. If you’re a hardcore collector, retro console enthusiast, or just a fan of the original game, it seems like it would be a fun gift to pick up for yourself or a loved one.

It will retail for $49.99 and you can pre-order it here if you’re interested.

Atlus is continuing its string of daily trailers focusing on the over 200+ demons of its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

Final Fantasy XI has seen a bit of resurgence as of late. There’s no clear reason why. Maybe it’s a bit of Final Fantasy XIV magic trickling down onto Square Enix’s first foray into the MMORPG space. Or perhaps it’s just old-school MMO fans coming home and wanting a more classic experience.

In either event, there have been lots of exciting Final Fantasy XI developments as of late, and here’s another for fans to sink their teeth into. A fan by the name of mithrandir133 has created a retro-style RPG, set in the world of Final Fantasy XI.

Called Final Fantasy XI Braver, the game boasts 30 to 50 hours of SNES-style RPG gameplay. It’s not an MMORPG, and it follows its own story rather than the story of Finial Fantasy XI proper. It’s entirely single-player and you’ll run into familiar faces from the MMORPG.

Final Fantasy XI Braver is entirely free to play, and also has other elements familiar to fans of Final Fantasy XI such as skillchains, magic bursts, crafting, mining, and a class system reminiscent of that of the MMORPG.

If you wanted to give it a try, the download link is right here.

Spoiler Warning: The following article divulges spoilers for the entire first season of Vinland Saga. If you haven’t seen it yet, we recommend you come back after watching every episode.

The second season of Vinland Saga was just recently announced and it’ll bring back Thorfinn’s story after the dramatic and emotional finale from the first season. Here are five things that we want to see from Vinland Saga Season 2 as it brings us back into the land of anime Vikings.

Today, Disney and Pixar officially lifted the curtain on their all-new animated feature film, Turning Red.

Following on from the success of their last coming-of-age adventure, Luca, Turning Red is set to be another signature childhood romp that focuses upon the challenges that growing up often brings. Go ahead and check out the new teaser trailer down below:

Clearly, growing pains appear to be one of the central themes in Disney and Pixar’s upcoming Turning Red. After all, it looks like its 13-year-old protagonist, Mei Lee, not only faces the usual issues that school children of her age have to deal with, but she’ll also have to contend with a Jekyll And Hyde-like transform-into-a-big-panda problem as well. I mean, we’ve all been there, right?

Turning Red will be directed by Pixar Animation Studios’ director Domee Shi, who’s best known for her work on her 2018 short film, Bao, which went on to win an Oscar award for Best Animated Short Film.

While he may not be the most talkative video game character out there, you can’t deny that the Doom Slayer still stands as one of the most badass protagonists to ever grace the genre. To celebrate the character, the Good Smile Company has immortalized his look in DOOM Eternal with a brand new, insanely detailed action figure.

As you can see in the images below, the figma Doom Slayer comes with multiple interchangeable components. The overall design is also impressive featuring a lot of his powerful weapons and his trademark armor.

First announced last week, Blood Money, Rockstar Games’ anticipated major update for Red Dead Online, launches today, and the 5GB expansion is set to deliver a seriously impressive amount of content according to a lengthy breakdown sent to Twinfinite.

If you’re an avid Red Dead Online player then you’re likely to already be up to speed with the nature of the new expansion, but if not you can head over to the game’s official website here for an overview. In brief, it will see players take a dive into the criminal underbelly of Saint-Denis, working with some of its most notorious and dangerous criminals in a new multi-part series of missions called “Crimes,” as well as a separate series of new missions called “Opportunities.” Both are available to play either solo or cooperatively with up to six other players, and they can be taken on in three different difficulty modes according to your preference.

In addition to the two aforementioned new mission series, Blood Money also introduces a new gameplay mode called The Quick Draw Club, a series of four distinct rapid-fire passes in consecutive installments that offers cosmetic rewards to players. You can check out a full breakdown of all the content available in The Quick Draw Club missions below the general overview underneath.

Tangowork’s Ghostwire: Tokyo won’t make its planned release window this year. The developer took to Twitter earlier today to announce that it has been delayed until “early” 2022 in order to give the studio enough time to “bring the world of Ghostwire to life” as the team “always envisioned.”

An update on Ghostwire: Tokyo from @TangoGameworks: pic.twitter.com/hK3TF23A8o

— Ghostwire: Tokyo (@playGhostwire) July 13, 2021

If you’re unfamiliar with Ghostwire Tokyo, it was first announced back in 2019 during Bethesda’s E3 press conference. It is set to tell the tale of people mysteriously disappearing in Tokyo city. Here’s the official story description:

“GhostWire: Tokyo, a new action-adventure game brought to you by the team at Tango Gameworks.

After strange disappearances hit Tokyo’s population, it’s up to you to uncover the source and purge the city of a strange, new evil. Armed with your own mysterious spectral abilities, you will face down the occult, unravel conspiracy theories and experience urban legends like never before. Don’t fear the unknown. Attack it.”

In most Pokemon games, your protagonists usually start out in their bedroom, allowing you to start your adventure from there. In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, you actually begin inside the back of a moving truck.

A short conversation with your mother soon reveals that your character traveled the entire way in the back of the moving truck on the way to your new home in Hoenn. At first, it is easy to shrug this off, as you want to get along with your adventure.

The more you think about this situation, though, the more absurd it sounds. Seriously, that would be the most uncomfortable ride ever. To demonstrate why, one Redditor recently went out of their way to animate what it would look like if your character actually did ride all the way back to their new house in the back of a moving truck.
