After months of anticipation third-party add-on developer DC Designs released its F-15 Eagle package for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The add-on includes four variants of the aircraft, the F-15C, the F-15D, the F-15E Strike Eagle, and the Israeli F-15I.

It’s priced at $37 on Just Flight’s store and comes with its own installer, which means the process of getting it on your PC is relatively painless.

Do keep in mind that a manual and paint kit are available in the Just Flight folder of your Star menu. While this is not a very complex aircraft, it’s better to read it before you start flying.

Since a video shows more than a few thousand words, below you can check out a full flight from take-off to landing, following along as I put the F-15E Strike Eagle through its paces among the twists and turns of the famous Jedi Transition and Star Wars Canyon in California.

While the world came to a screeching halt in 2020, the games industry adapted and roared on into one of the biggest years yet for the industry. Two major console launches and the latest installments of fan favorite franchises had the big three serving meals to gamers left and right.

So with 2020 behind us, the question remains, which company was the best to gamers in 2020? Come on a ride with us as we look at the biggest highlights from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo in 2020 to decide who was best to gamers in 2020!

Update: Late on Friday, Microsoft reversed course after receiving overwhelming negative feedback. Here is their response in full. The original post will follow the response.

We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing.

We’re turning this moment into an opportunity to bring Xbox Live more in line with how we see the player at the center of their experience. For free-to-play games, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold membership to play those games on Xbox. We are working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months.

If you are an Xbox Live Gold member already, you stay at your current price for renewal. New and existing members can continue to enjoy Xbox Live Gold for the same prices they pay today. In the US, $9.99 for 1-month, $24.99 for 3-months, $39.99 for 6-months and $59.99 for retail 12-months.

Microsoft has today unveiled its next line-up of free games for Xbox Live Gold subscribers, which is headlined by some excellent games that include Resident Evil Remake and Gears 5.

The full line-up throughout February and the dates each is available is as follows:

Developer miHoYo has today showcased the first footage of Genshin Impact’s Version 1.3. The update is set to introduce new storylines, characters, and gear to grind for.

As you’ll see below, the storyline seems to center around a Liyue festival called the Lantern Rite, and it’s there, toward the end of the trailer, that we see a fleeting glimpse of The Traveler’s sibling. It seems the two are almost re-united before once again being pulled apart.

Notably, there’s also a first look at the new playable character, Xiao, who is known as the Vigilant Yaksha. Those who have been playing Genshin Impact since the beta will remember him from those early days, but he has, of course, since been removed from the game. He’s set to make a big return in Update 1.3.

Here’s the trailer:

For those who still can’t get over the beauty of the Dragonspine region which was added to the game in Update 1.2, do make sure you check out the excellent mini-documentary from miHoYo that sheds light on its development.

IO Interactive’s latest iteration of its beloved Hitman series has been an overwhelming success. Today, the developer confirmed that Hitman 3 has recorded the biggest digital launch in the franchise’s history.

The news comes by way of a Tweet from IO’s Twitter channel, which includes a graphic celebrating the game’s equally impressive critical reception.

HITMAN 3 has arrived!

And it’s the biggest digital launch in franchise history. pic.twitter.com/7j8rDkEhAa

— IO Interactive (@IOInteractive) January 22, 2021

Given global COVID-19 stay-at-home measures, it’s perhaps no surprise that Hitman 3’s digital sales have been stronger than usual. Although, it’s still a clear indication that the franchise has a substantial following either way.

Twinfinite’s own review of Hitman 3 was certainly full of praise for what we considered yet another masterstroke from IO. Albeit, one that does play things a little safe. Our review concluded:

“Without straying far from the successful sandbox formula, it’s an excellent final part of IO’s trilogy. While the increased freedom and level variety won’t be for everyone, Hitman 3 boasts some of the best locations and stories the series has ever seen, and there’s so much to uncover in each and every one of them.”

Today Cygames released a new gameplay trailer of its popular fighting game Granblue Fantasy Versus.

The trailer focuses on the newest DLC character, Uno, who will be released as part of the second character pass on Feb. 6.

We get to see his gameplay, whilewe already know that the next reveal is coming in March with Granblue Fantasy’s anniversary livestream.

You can check out his trailer below, alongside his original reveal.

Today Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja released a brand new gameplay video of the upcoming Nioh 2 Remastered.

The game, played on PS5, is displayed in super-crisp 4K resolution and 60 frames-per-second, providing a look at what it’ll look like on our consoles in a couple of weeks.

You can check it out below and see for yourself.

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

“Experience the thrill of taking on hordes of fearsome yokai in a battle to the death in this brutal masocore Action RPG. Create your own original protagonist and embark on an adventure that will take you through devastated locales across Japan during the Sengoku period.

The final installment in the Hitman trilogy has arrived, boasting one of the strongest voice casts in the entire series to wrap things up. In Hitman 3, we hear several great voice actors, ranging from industry veterans to lesser-known workers, give amazing performances that add to the game’s overall setting and story. To celebrate those performances, we’ve come up with a list breaking down the voices behind your favorite Hitman 3 characters, detailing some of the other things you may know them from as well. So check out the Voice Actors of Hitman 3’s Voice Cast below.

Hitman 3’s Voice Actors & Voice Cast

David Bateson – Agent 47

The star of the Hitman series, David Bateson’s deep and calm voice has become synonymous with Agent 47. He has played the character since 2004, reprising the role in Hitman: Contracts, Hitman: Absolution, Hitman: Blood Money, and the aforementioned recent Hitman trilogy.

Jane Perry – Diana Burnwood

If there is one voice that is even close to being tied to the Hitman series, it’s Jane Perry’s Diana Burnwood. She has played the character since 2012, majorly serving as the mission narrator.

You may also know Burnwood from her roles in Phantom Thread as Mrs. Vaughan, Borg vs. McEnroe as Kay McEnroe, and A Hologram for the King as Ruby.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild features a massive open-world for players to explore. With such a huge world to play around in, it can be a little intimidating. The good news is, there’s actually a house you can buy in the game, and there’s a mod that makes it look even comfier and more welcoming.

Created by Waikuteru, not only does the house look nicer, it also offers quite a few extra conveniences and quality-of-life improvements. For instance, you’d be able to fast travel straight to the house instead of having to warp to the village shrine. There’s also a fire in the house itself where you can cook and prepare meals before venturing out again.

You can check out the house tour video down below:

Aesthetically, the mod adds a few new lamps and light sources to make the house look warmer. Link will also get a new pet chicken that will drop you eggs if you keep poking it. But of course, you’ll need to be careful of antagonizing the chicken and get ready to make a run for it if you anger it too much.

Today Asobo, developer of Microsoft Flight Simulator, announced that the upcoming world update focusing on the United Kingdom will be delayed.

Luckily, it’s not a large delay, and the developer expects to release it only one week after its original target date on January 26.

We also learn that it’ll include 70 points of interest on top of the previously announced digital elevation map and five airports (Manchester Barton (EGCB), Liverpool John Lennon (EGGP), Land’s End (EGHC), Barra (EGPR), and Out Skerries (EG78). We’ll also get five new cities enhanced by photogrammetry including London, and those are the cause of the delay.

Below you can see the first three screenshots from England, Scotland, and Ireland, alongside a video featuring the aerodynamic improvements made since launch.

Originally released in early access a few years back, Golf With Your Friends has become one of the best go-to games for players looking for something a bit more casual and charming. Players could design their own courses and share them, creating a community that constantly challenges each other with tricky obstacles.

The game was fully released last year, and Gamesindustry.biz has just reported that the IP has been purchased by Team17, best known for releasing popular co-op games like Moving Out and Overcooked.

‘CEO Debbie Bestwick commented: “We are delighted to start 2021 with the announcement that we have acquired GWYF and see great potential in this IP. Over the last two years, GWYF has shown strong consumer demand and mass market appeal, doubling its owner base and achieving success on multiple gaming platforms.
“GWYF is the type of IP we believe is right for ownership, it is successful and proven but still at the start of its journey. The team at Blacklight Interactive can be assured that we will take great care of this amazing IP.”‘

With this purchase, Team17 has also stated that they plan on continuing to work on and support the game, with plenty of DLC and other content updates in the works.

Earlier today, Capcom hosted a huge livestream for the upcoming Resident Evil Village, which came with a ton of news about the future of the series as well as a release date for this next mainline entry. In addition to that, they also confirmed that players would be able to check out a short playable demo of the game.

At the time of writing, the demo is now available for download on PS5. It’s not available on other platforms, which means that only PS5 users will be able to check it out, though it’s worth noting that the game will be released on both last-gen and current-gen consoles if you haven’t made the jump to PS5 or Xbox Series X|S just yet.

Publisher 505 Games announced Puzzle Quest 3 following the acquisition of Puzzle Quest and Gems of War developer Infinity Plus Two last week.

The sequel in the match-three puzzle series will feature one-versus-one battles “realized in a 3D game world” with its story taking place 500 years after the original game.

The publisher said in a press release that Puzzle Quest 3 will be a free-to-play title coming to PC and mobile device later this year with “additional platforms to be announced.”

“Puzzle Quest defined the puzzle-RPG genre, creating a beloved franchise with a rich heritage that continues to resonate with a player base of millions globally today,” said Clive Robert, Head of Free-to-Play at 505 Games. “The work that Steve [Fawkner] and his team have done to reintroduce the franchise as a F2P experience across multiple platforms will undoubtedly reinvent the puzzle genre once again. As a unified publishing and dev team, we’ve created a path for the franchise that puts the player first so we can best serve our growing community.”

The original Puzzle Quest released in 2007 with a sequel in 2010, and several spin-offs released for mobile after including Marvel Puzzle Quest and Adventure Time Puzzle Quest.

Fortnite has added Terminator-themed skins and other cosmetic items to its in-game item shop on Thursday night.

Players can purchase a Sarah Connor skin that comes with a T-800 Endoskeleton Arm Back Bling and Combat Knife Harvesting Tool for 1,800 V-Bucks, or the T-800 Terminator skin itself with the HK Sky Net Uplink Back Bling for 1,500 V-Bucks.

The two skins, the Back Bling, Harvesting Tool, a Techno-Grip Axe, and the Cyberdyne Salute emote mimicking the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day can be bought together in the Future War bundle for 2,800 V-Bucks. The Cyberdyne Salute can be purchased separately for 300 V-Bucks, while the Techno-Grip Axe costs 800 V-Bucks.

It is not the first franchise crossover featured in Fortnite that contains actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, as the battle royale game added the Predator as an in-game boss and skin today.

Today Cloud Imperium Games released a new video of its upcoming space simulator Star Citizen, which continues to grow.

The video features a rather interesting look at new tools that the developers will be able to create rivers in Star Citizen’s planets.

On top of that, we also get to hear about the Space Combat Summit, which is basically an inter-discipline meeting between developers of different teams that work together to draw the path to make combat even more fun with future development.

There’s even a fun little surprise at the end, even if there are no promises about its actual implementation in the game.

You can watch it below.

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total just passed $342 million, and it’s currently at $342,469,194

The number of registered accounts is also approaching three million, and it’s currently at 2,947,188.

As usual, you should keep in mind that it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons, including Free Fly events and more.

Today, after the new reveal about Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil Re: Verse, Capcom followed up with a press release including quite a few screenshots.

The screenshots provided a look at the new mainline game, including its creepy and eerie characters and environments.

We then see the interface of The Duke’s Emporium, where “Protagonist Ethan will now be able to purchase and sell items, buy recipes for crafting, and customize weapons.”

The gallery also include lovely new character artwork.

On top of that, we take a look at the characters of Resident Evil Re: Verse, the free multiplayer experience coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility) associated with Village.

As you can see, it also comes packed with its own creepy (in a different way) style.

You can check everything out in the gallery below.

Today during the Resident Evil Showcase, Capcom announced that Resident Evil Village will grant access to a free multiplayer experience called RE: Verse.

RE: Verse is a six-player mode that has you play as iconic Resident Evil heroes and villains such as Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Ada Wong in deathmatches.

Whenever a player is killed, they will mutate into bioweapons to hunt down the players that killed them. The game features over-the-shoulder, third-person gunplay, and a comic book-like art style.

Other playable characters are Jill Valentine, Hunk, Nemesis, and Jack Baker. Each character will have their own unique skill sets that the player will apparently have to master. The only map shown off thus far has been the Racoon City Police Department from Resident Evil 2 & 3 Remake.

There is a closed beta that comes out on January 28 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The application link for the beta is right here.

Capcom and Ubisoft are teaming up in celebration of the Resident Evil franchise’s 25th anniversary, bringing some limited-time goodies to The Division 2 players.

During the Resident Evil Showcase held on Jan. 21, it was revealed that The Division 2 would see outfits and items from the original Resident Evil trilogy made available for use by players. The first of these items to be revealed is Leon Kennedy’s RPD outfit, which can be obtained by logging on at any time during the event.

The crossover kicks off on Feb. 2, and will run until Feb. 15.

A teaser trailer for the event was released alongside the announcement. In it, several players can be seen exiting a helicopter adorned in STARS-esque outfits. They then encounter an enemy which resembles an Umbrella operative, before the teaser cuts out.

It’s brief, nut a fun glimpse at what’s in store that fans of both RE and The Division 2 will enjoy. It will be added down below as soon as it becomes available.

The reveal was only one bit of news made available through the Resident Evil Showcase. A slew of information was revealed regarding Resident Evil Village – ranging from details about its gameplay to a firm release date – and the new RE-themed battle royale Re:Verse was officially unveiled.

More on all the latest news related to Resident Evil can be found here.

Resident Evil Village has received a slew of new info, ranging from new details about the gameplay to a firm release date for most every platform.

During the Resident Evil Showcase held on Jan. 21, information on a variety of elements related to Resident Evil Village was revealed. These included a firm release dat of May 7, 2021; an expanded availability to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One; a new trailer hinting at more of the game’s story and characters; and a gameplay demo showing off how the game’s combat, exploration and puzzle solving will work.

In terms of the trailer, it’s more of what fans of the series have become accustomed to. Starting with a cryptic conversation between Ethan and Mia, it quickly cuts to scenes of some of the game’s villains and monsters. These range from sword-wielding wretches in sewer-ways to a long and tall vampire; who, during her time on screen, speaks with an unseen adversary known as Mother Miranda.

It all culminates in Ethan encountering a mysterious man wielding a giant hammer. He says he wants to see what Ethan is made of, and as he does, rocks start to float around him.

The full trailer can be viewed down below.

Today Ubisoft announced that a new crossover between Immortals Fenyx Rising, and Netflix animated series Blood of Zeus, would take place.

The crossover between the two franchises based around Greek mythology begins right now apparently and only runs for one week ending on Jan. 28. So if this is something that intrigues you and you’re playing Immortals Fenyx Rising I’d hop to it.

Players will gain access to a new Blood of Zeus-themed quest called A Tribute to Family that will appear on the game map after completing the quest “Gods and Monsters.”

Here are the details of the crossover quest via Ubisoft:

The quest will first take you to the Hall of the Gods where you’ll find a lone ghost to interact with. Completing the quest will earn players the Eagle pendant and new “Blood of Zeus”-inspired customization options.

You’ll also be able to purchase a new weapon pack containing themed skins for Fenyx’s sword, axe, and bow, as well as a character pack to customize your armor, helmet, wings, mount, and Phosphor with a unique “Blood of Zeus” flair. Both the weapon and character pack can still be purchased after the conclusion of the crossover event.

So while the quest itself might only be around for a limited time, it does appear that the purchasable customization options will still be available, so there’s that at least I suppose if that’s something you’re into.

Between Immortals Fenyx Rising, Hades, Blood of Zeus, Smite still being alive in 2021, and probably other stuff I’m forgetting, Greek Mythology is so hot right now.

The board of directors of Codemasters, the developers behind popular racing game franchises such as F1 and Dirt, have voted in favor of accepting EA’s proposed acquisition terms.

While the directors are on board with EA’s proposal there are still a few other hoops that need to be jumped through before everything is official and Codemasters is formally acquired by EA as outlined by VGC.

First, the shareholders of Codemasters need to vote and agree to the terms. As VGC notes, the directors are recommending to shareholders that they do vote to move forward with the acquisition. And the after that, a court hearing will be held to approve the deal.

All the while EA still has the ability to rescind their offer or allow it to lapse without finalizing should they change their mind hypothetically for whatever reason. In other words, nothing is locked in just yet, but it is rapidly heading in the direction of acquisition.

Last year, Take-Two made a move to acquire Codemasters but EA was able to swoop in with a deal that the Codemasters board apparently found more favorable, and Take-Two’s offer lapsed as a result.

Another year of gaming in the books. 2020 is done and dusted. While most gamers (including us) are looking forward to 2021 and the exciting games it might bring, here at Twinfinite we did want to take one final look back at 2020.

In spite of so many potentially disruptive things that happened in 2020, such as Covid-19 impacting the safety of developers and the end of console generation, there were still a lot of great games that released in the calendar year.

If you’ve been following along with us for the last two weeks or so, you likely caught at least a few of the “Best of 2020” awards that we dished out, but before we completely move on, let’s run take one last trip down memory lane.

A couple of days ago, fantasy-themed artwork by Naughty Dog Senior Concept artist Hyoung Taek Nam surfaced, triggering the usual charade of misleading speculation from various media outlets.

The art posted two months ago on the Artist’s official Artstation page featured a series of female characters in a fantasy setting with the mention “Inspire from new game. You know what I’m talking about…”

This was interpreted by many as some sort of tease or leak of a new game by Naughty Dog, despite the fact that it was fairly obvious that Hyoung Taek Nam meant that the art was simply inspired by a new game, which at the moment he opted not to name.

Apparently, the media hubbub prompted the artist to clarify and the text has been edited, revealing that this is indeed not art related to a new game by Naughty Dog, but inspired by Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which was “new” when the art was posted.

Today third-party add-on developer Cloudsurf Asia Simulations released a brand new airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and it’s a big one.

The new hub is Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS), rated in the real world as the best airport in the world and one of the most active airliner hotspots in all of Asia.

It can be found on SimMarket for roughly $15 plus VAT.

Below you can find a gallery of image and an official description and feature list.

Today Square Enix announced that a rather specific feature of Final Fantasy XIV will be featured in the spin-off of a popular manga.

The Doman Mahjong minigame will appear in a side story of “Saki” by Ritz Kobayashi, usually serialized in Young Gangan.

The manga, which unsurprisingly focuses on Mahjong, is very popular in Japan. Not only it has been serialized for fifteen years since 2006 but it has spawned several anime series, TV dramas, and even live-action movies. It has sold over 10 million volumes over the course of its serialization.

The new spin-off will begin tomorrow (Jan. 22) on the Manga UP! app. It will actually be Saki’s 8th spin-off.

Below you can check out a scene from the manga featuring Final Fantasy XIV’s Doman Mahjong minigame.

Destruction AllStars was initially supposed to launch in November 2020, but like many other games that year, its release was delayed. Its release is now right around the corner, so a new Destruction AllStars trailer has just been released introducing the game’s characters.

The car combat game is now launching on PS Plus in February, as stated in a PlayStation Blog post last October. It’s a PS5 exclusive that could possibly scratch that Twisted Metal itch that longtime PlayStation fans have had for years now.

Today’s trailer showcases the characters that players will be able to use as they tear up the arena in Destruction AllStars’ automotive mayhem. Each driver is presented with a title card alongside their respective vehicles, followed by some footage of their gameplay style.

The video also shows us each driver’s personality in small ways, from unique animations, to little quirks and car colors.

Check out the trailer below to see all of the Destruction AllStars characters for yourself in-game:

UFC fighter Conor McGregor is grabbing all the headlines ahead of his anticipated rematch with top lightweight contender Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier, including, now, the games industry as EA prepares to launch its next UFC 4 update focused on the former double champion.

In a trailer today called “Local Lad,” a new in-game skin for McGregor is showcased within a montage that recaps his career. The new skin changes his look to the very same appearance as when he and Poirier faced off back in 2014.

McGregor was, at the time, an up and coming featherweight who was quickly capturing the world’s attention with his larger-than-life personality and impressive knockout victories. During his bout with Poirier, he donned white tudo shorts and had his hair braided in a ponytail.

The update also includes the addition UFC light heavyweight Jiri Prochazka also makes his way into the Octagon as a new playable fighter. He is set to face-off with former title-contender Dominic Reyes later this year, which perhaps explains his inclusion.

Elsewhere, Andre Bishop and Isaac Frost, have also been unlocked for immediate play. Both have been added to the heavyweight roster.

Also, world heavyweight boxing champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury as free fighters until Feb. 8 via Microsoft and Sony digital stores.

Finally, new Fight Week challenges will also be implemented within the update and the below-limited edition content will be available during that time:

• 2x McGregor kits (shirts and shorts) that reflect legendary Conor quotes
• Custom profile banners and vanity

Here’s the Local Lad trailer:

Playdead’s anticipated next game will feature a markedly different design from the critically acclaimed puzzle-platformers it’s best known for. This is according to a job listing over on the developer’s website, which was spotlighted today by enthusiast video game analyst @mauroNL.

The page lists several different full-time opportunities, from programming opportunities to technical director and systems administrator positions. But it’s actually the updated blurb that is the most interesting takeaway, which now reads in part

“Our current project is a 3rd-person science fiction adventure set in a remote corner of the universe.”

While we’ve long known that Playdead’s next project was a science fiction game following some tidbits from an older version of this particular job listing page and a brief teaser, it’s only now that we’ve discovered its design.

Speaking of concept art, there’s more on that front today, too, with two new and interesting images:

That’s right folks, today kicks off the Clear Skies event for Arms Race in Borderlands 3. Clear Skies will last until January 28. Today’s changes to the game are in an actual update, so you will need to do some downloading as opposed to the usual wait at the main menu for the hotfixes to apply.

For those unfamiliar with Arms Race, it is a game mode new to the Borderlands series that drops the player into a large map with zero gear or player skills and they must work within the confines of the encroaching Murdercane (pretty much the same way circles work in every Battle Royale). The player must scrounge up enough loot to guarantee survival (shields are required) while working to collect the best loot they can to then beat the mode’s boss and win.

The first mini-event, Clear Skies, begins with today’s hotfixes. During the Clear Skies mini-event, all enemies will have a chance to drop better loot and the Murdercane’s circle will take longer to close in so you have precious extra time to scavenge and explore.

The list of changes to the game are:

Aerosoft just released Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport (CYQM) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, developed by Stairport Sceneries.

As the busiest airport in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, CYQM offers a great mix of activities for flight simulation enthusiasts.

It hosts airliner traffic, a lot of cargo hauling. and one of the most well-known flight schools in the country for general aviation, the Moncton Flight College.

Available on Aerosoft’s own store for about €18 including VAT, it comes with its own installer as is the publisher’s standard, which means that installation is relatively painless. The package even includes a complement of relevant charts.

If you’d like to see what the airport looks like in detail in Microsoft Flight Simulator, you can check out the in-depth flyover video below, showing the airfield from every angle, every weather condition, and at night.

On the other hand, the second video below showcases an ILS approach to runway 29.

Today Firaxis and 2K Games revealed a new video of the upcoming DLC package for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.

We get to take a deeper look at the new civilization, Vietnam, and its leader, fiery 3rd-century national heroine Bà Triệu.

You can check the video out below.

We also hear about Vietnam’s features, its Voi Chién unique unit, and its unique district, the Thàn, and Bà Triệu’s own ability “Drive Out The Aggressors.”

More information about the DLC can also be found in yesterday’s video.

A Stories From the Outlands video was released earlier this week to introduce Fuse — the newest Legend that’ll be joining the Apex Games on Feb. 2. Today’s launch trailer teases his abilities while giving a quick preview of what to expect in Apex Legends Season 8, Mayhem.

Walter “Fuse” Fitzroy makes his cinematic debut in front of the other Legends in this trailer when everything goes wrong. The ship he descends on starts to fire cannon in every direction, threatening the surrounding spectators.

Thanks to some quick thinking, Fuse is able to bring it down with the help of his golden grenade from his Story From the Outlands, which seemed to have an EMP effect.

Soon after, multiple sections of King’s Canyon start to literally explode, changing the terrain in preparation for Season 8 of Apex Legends.

Check out the chaotic Season 8 launch trailer below for yourself below to get a quick look at what’s to come next month:

Today Bandai Namco revealed a new gallery of screenshots showcasing the upcoming Legendary Pack 1 DLC.

We get to see another new character included in the DLC on top of Paikuhan/Pikkon, and it’s God of Destruction Toppo.

At the same time as the DLC (which is now slated for a Spring 2021 release), a free update will bring Janemba’s CC mascot and five new Hero Colosseum figurines as follows:

• Toppo (God of Destruction)
• Pikkon
• Janemba
• Gogeta (Super Saiyan 1)
• Vegeta (SSGSS)

You can find the screenshots below. Incidentally yes, the DLC is titled “Legendary Pack 1” which likely means that it’s not the last. That’s pretty impressive for a game that is over four years old.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is currently available for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. If you want to read more about the game, you can check out our review.

Gotham Knights

Gotham Knights is an upcoming open-world, action RPG set in the city of Gotham. While the game has no ties to the Arkham series, it is the first time we will be seeing the Batman universe in a video game since the release of Batman: Arkham Knight in 2015.

The Bigger Game – Metal Gear Survive

Xbox Games with Gold Predictions

For the current month of January, Microsoft has offered four games for free on Games with Gold including Little Nightmares, Dead Rising, The King of Fighters XIII, and Breakdown. While the offical list for the upcoming month of February 2021 has yet to be released, we have some Xbox Games with Gold predictions in the meantime to tide us over.

Usually a larger AAA title headlines the list, and for next month we suspect Metal Gear Survive would be a perfect choice.

Metal Gear Survive didn’t sell the best when it first released back in 2018, with 2013’s Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance reporting selling twice the rate when it first released. Survive also was placed only 65th in the player count data on Steam in the first few months that it came out.

Today Nippon Ichi Software released a new trailer of its upcoming tactical JRPG Makai Senki Disgaea 6, also known as Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny.

The trailer begins with a look at the story and its wacky cast. After all, it’s Disgaea, so you can expect everyone to be rather… out there.

A demo of the game has also been released in Japan.

You can watch it below.

Today Spike Chunsoft released a trailer for the upcoming Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- The Prophecy of the Throne.

The trailer features the opening cutscene of the game, including the theme song “Reline” by Mayu Maeshima, whom you may know for the theme song of the second season of the anime.

The Bigger Game – Marvel’s Avengers

PS Plus Free Games Predictions

Last month for PS Plus, Sony gave subscribers three free games including Maneater, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Greedfall. While the offical list for February 2021 has yet to be revealed by Sony, we have some PS Plus predictions as to what those free games might be in the meantime.

Usually a larger game headlines the list, and for next month we suspect Marvel’s Avengers could be a likely inclusion.

The anime world can be extremely daunting, especially if you’re new to it. There are just way too many shows and while you’ve almost certainly heard of a few popular ones being thrown around, it’s hard to figure out if it’s for you and if you’d like it.

With that said, we’ve put together a shortlist of anime series that we feel would be good picks for someone’s first watch, and they cover quite a few genres as well so there’s going to be something for you, based on your own interests and preferences.

Take the quiz below and find out which series you should watch first as a beginner in the anime world.
