With many of us unable to travel, it’s nice to virtually visit holiday destinations, albeit virtually. Orbx’s newest airport add-on Bastia-Poretta (LFKB) for Microsoft Flight Simulator is perfect for this purpose.

The airport is located in Corsica, France, and it sees a lot of international seasonal traffic on top of regular flights from domestic destinations. Of course, it also involves plenty of general aviation activity.

It’s located in an absolutely gorgeous area on the north-eastern coast of Corsica with a lovely approach passing by stunning mountains facing the sea. This makes the airport attractive even before we take a look at the specific scenery.

The add-on is available on Orbx’s own store for about $19 and can be easily and quickly installed via the developer’s Orbx Central client.

If you’d like to check out the airport in detail, you can enjoy a video below, alongside a second at the bottom of the review showcasing night lighting, rain, and snow. A third video shows an approach to Runway 34’s ILS Z.

Today, during the NieR Christmas livestream, Square Enix revealed a new sales milestone for the popular action JRPG NieR: Automata.

We heard that the game has now passed five million shipments worldwide including both retail and digital download.

On top of that, a manga adaptation has been announced. You can check out the first look at the artwork below.

It will be drawn by Megumi Soramichi, whom you may know for the first manga adaptation of Chivalry of a Failed Knight and Zombieland Saga.

Today, during the NieR Christmas livestream, Square Enix revealed the Japanese release date and a new trailer for the upcoming mobile game NieR: Re[in]carnation.

We learn that the game is releasing in Japan on February 18 for iOS and Android.

On top of that, the trailer reveals a launch crossover with NieR: Automata.

The collaboration will bring popular characters YoRHA 2B, 9S, and A2 to the new mobile game. It will launch at the same time as the service, on February 18, 2021.

This follows a recent delay for the game, which was originally planned for a release in 2020.

We already know that the game is coming west, but unlike Japan, don’t not yet know when it will be released in North America and Europe.

Today Nippon Ichi Software and FOG announced Fuu Raiki 4 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

I would be surprised if the name, which translates as “Wind and Rain,” proved familiar for more than handful of you.

This is the fourth chapter of a series by Tokyo-based developer FOG focusing on road trips and romance.

The series debuted in 2001 for the original PlayStation, letting the player explore the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.

The second game for PS2 brought us to Okinawa in 2005, while the third title went back to Hokkaido in 2013 on PC, followed by a port to PS Vita in 2005.

This new game will let players travel to Gifu prefecture, which is unsurprisingly Nippon Ichi’s home region.

Not unlike Kadokawa Games’ Root Letter series, Fuu Raiki aims to convey the beauty of the prefecture featured, and this time around it’ll combine anime-style characters with real-world imagery shot with a 360-degrees camera.

As I mentioned before, there’s a romance part. While traveling on his bike, the player will meet a variety of girls and interact with them, potentially falling in love.

The game is produced in collaboration with the Gifu Shimbun, providing information on the destination, Yamaha, which produces the protagonist’s MT-10 SP bike, and Arai, which produces the helmets.

You can check out the first trailer of Fuu Raiki 4 below. At the moment, there is no information about a possible western release. If NIS America actually localizes it, I’ll be very, very surprised, but certainly not unhappy.

The release date for Japan is April 22, 2021.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

It’s winter in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and players can not only continue to be creative, customizing their islands into a cheerful place filled with holiday spirit, but now snow can fall instead of rain turning your island into a winter wonderland as well.

The game makes an effort to sell the idea of winter. Villagers will whip out winter clothes, winter variants of popular in-game songs will play, players can build snowmen, and Christmas ornaments can be collected.

Today Sega announced another AC Scratch collection for the western servers of its popular MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2.

This time around the collection is “Frame Arms Reloaded” and it’s a collaboration with the popular (in Japan) Frame Arms Girl model kit line by Kotobukiya.

The collection will be available starting today, Dec. 23, and until Jan. 20. You can take a look at all the costumes and goodies available on the official blog post.

If you’re unfamiliar with AC Scratch, that’s basically the game’s loot box-like mechanic that you can get through tickets purchased with Arks Cash.

Speaking of the Japanese version of the game, Sega announced via press release that it has passed six million players. That’s certainly a flattering milestone considering that it’s only one country.

If you grew up on the playground with Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then you likely have some fond memories of the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime. And now you can finally find out which iconic Yu-Gi-Oh character you’re most like with this quiz.

Whether you’re the king of games or just another third-rate duelist, you have an important role to play. Maybe you can’t be as skilled of a duelist as Yami or as smart as Kaiba. But Tristan and Tea still have fantastic qualities that make them unbeatable as friends.

It’s important to note that this quiz will only cover the first two major arcs (Duelist Kingdom and Battle City) of the original Yu-Gi-Oh series since they contain arguably the most iconic characters. That means you won’t see any characters from the virtual world arc or any characters exclusive to the seasons following Battle City.

Once your fate is determined by this Yu-Gi-Oh character quiz, don’t forget to share your results in the comments and on social media. And if you think you’re a huge Yu-Gi-Oh fan, then check out the hardest Yu-Gi-Oh quiz ever to test your knowledge of the original series.

Today third-party add-on developer Orbx released its newest airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Bastia-Poretta (LFKB).

Bastia-Poretta is an airport in Corsica that sees a lot of seasonal traffic from a whole bunch of airlines, and regular links with Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Nice.

It can be found at Orbx’s own store for $19.

You can check it out in the images below, alongside an official feature list.

“Located on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Corsica, Bastia airport is nestled between the mountains and the sea which makes for some challenging flying conditions. As a popular holiday destination, the airport sees a mix of airline, corporate, GA traffic and helicopters and acts as a base for coastguard and firefighting aircraft. One thing is for sure though, spectacular views are guaranteed!

Fans of the puzzle dating simulator HuniePop have been eagerly waiting for its sequel, HuniePop 2: Double Date, and the game finally almost done.

The developer posted on Twitter announcing that there are only three weeks of work left to do on the game, focusing on audio, balancing, and testing, which will be followed by the wait for Steam’s approval.

Assuming that issues don’t arise, the release should come before Valentine’s Day in 2021.

You can see the official announcement below. Incidentally, the image includes a code for a costume for Jessie that can be unlocked when the game launches.

If you’re unfamiliar with the HuniePop franchise, the first game launched on Steam back in 2015 as a hybrid between a puzzle game, a visual novel, and a dating sim. Despite its rather alluring nature, it drew a lot of attention for its solid puzzle mechanics and the beautiful artwork.

D3 Publisher released a brand new trailer of its upcoming action game Earth Defense Force: World Brothers.

The trailer focuses on the variety of special moves that you can use to give yourself an edge as you fight against hordes of giant enemies.

Considering the nature of the game, you can expect many different and wacky special moves that you usually wouldn’t see in the mainline games of the franchise, as wacky as that may be already.

You can watch it below.

If you’re unfamiliar with Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, here’s an official description directly from the developer.

Unlike the original “EDF” series, which are drawn in a photo-realistic world, this game is boldly drawn in a voxel world! For people who just hate the look of huge real insects, or who are not so good at some brutal in-game expressions, this game can be your first EDF experience which you can exhilaratinglly defeat gigantic enemies.

A new battlefield appears in the “EDF” series.

Winter is finally here for many people around the world after a very long year. I grew in New York City where snow is common, so I’ve always had an affinity for snow-related activities like sledding, snowboarding, and snow-ball fights.

So when I arrive at a wintery level in a video game I tend to remember and appreciate them more than any other themes that are also common.

I can also name many classic snow, ice, and winter levels instantly just with a screenshot. Can you? Well, let’s find out.

Today SNK Released a video providing the specific timing for the upcoming The King of Fighters XV reveal.

We already knew that the reveal would come on January 7 Japan time with a new trailer, but now we learn via producer Yasuyuki Oda that it’ll be on January 6 at 6:00 pm PST or January 7 at 3:00 am CET.

This translates to 9:00 pm EST, 2:00 am GMT, or 11:00 am Japan time.

The video also showcases the release of Fatal Fury: First Contact on Nintendo Switch.

We also already know the on the same day (and likely at the same time) we’ll get a reveal of the first two characters in the third character pass for Samurai Showdown

You can check out the video below.

A long time has passed since the reveal of the season pass of Samurai Shodown in July, and even more time has gone by since we saw the initial tease of The King of Fighters XV in the summer of 2019 but the Coronavirus pandemic has hindered development.

Despite the fact that Munich Airport (EDDM) is the second-busiest in Germany, the default version in Microsoft Flight Simulator leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily, Sim-Wings just released its own rendition.

The add-on is available on Aerosoft’s store for €21 (plus VAT) and comes with its own handy installer, so you won’t need to fiddle much with files and folders.

The area covered is limited to the airport itself, but this doesn’t mean it’s a small add-on, considering that Munich Airport is absolutely massive.

If you’d like to see what it looks like in detail, you can check out the in-depth flyover video below, showing Munich under every angle, lighting, and weather condition.

The perimeter of the airport is properly fenced and the custom orthographic base blends perfectly with the surrounding while providing just the right amount of detail.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is shaping up to be a massive collaborative film if the rumor mill has any merit to it. So far, just about every actor to ever appear in any live-action Marvel Spider-Man production seems to be in negotiations to sign on to the third installment in the web slinger’s MCU franchise. 

While we’re still waiting on the validity of those rumors, it at least got us thinking about other people we’d love to see Marvel bring back for the next movie. Here are five characters to bring back to make Spider-Man 3 even wilder. 

Genshin Impact developer MiHoYo really loves to release trailers for its new characters, and today released a new gameplay video for the popular action RPG.

The trailer focuses, once more, on the new character Albedo introduced with update 1.2, showcasing his abilities in action following a quick dive into his story.

You can check him out below. If you’d like to see more of him, you can enjoy his first trailer and the second. I also added the Japanese trailer if you prefer Japanese voice-overs.

Today Square Enix released a brand new trailer of the upcoming JRPG Bravely Default II.

The trailer focuses on the magical realm of Wiswald and then characters it’s home to, including Emma Odilia (who is supposed to be deceased), the director of the Magic research institute and chief of state Rody Grenadine, his wife Lily Grenadine, and the guard Galahad Kelly.

Alongside each character we also get to take a look at their job, which can be unlocked and used with our characters. These are Red Mage, Hunter, and Shield Master.

You can check the trailer out below.

Bravely Default II will release exclusively for Nintendo Switch on Feb. 26, 2021.  If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you can check out an official description below.

Dare to risk it all
Explore a new world as you fight for survival with your customized team of heroes in the Bravely Default II game, a strikingly beautiful RPG adventure. Balance risk and reward in turn-based battles with the Brave and Default commands.

The Brave and Default battle system returns!

Today Inti Creates released a new trailer of the comeback of the Gal*Gun franchise, Gal*Gun Returns.

The trailer focuses on the familiar gameplay mechanics included in the game, which is a remaster of the original Gal*Gun released between 2011 and 2012 for Xbox 360 and PS3 and never published outside of Japan.

You can watch it below, likely not at work considering the cheeky nature of the title. You should also activate English subtitles (the default is Japanese).

Gal*Gun Returns will launch in North America on January 28 for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, and on February 12 in Europe for the same platform on top of the worldwide Steam release.

As revealed when Gal*Gun Returns was announced, PlayStation fans will have to sit this one out.

Below you can read an official description of the game directly from the developer. You can also watch the previous trailer here.

Earlier today, Niantic revealed some new information about their plans for Pokemon GO in January 2021. That means new raids, events, spotlight hours, and much more in Pokemon GO. But first up is the slate of Fire-type Legendary raids that will fill January 2021 in Pokemon GO.

Ho-Oh will start out the month. Then it’ll pass the baton to Genesect holding a Burn Drive. The Bug/Steel Legendary will be followed by Heatran. After that, the pair of Kyogre and Groudon will be back in raids for the first time since GO Fest. And then the month will wrap up with a surprise Pokemon.

If you’ve never played Pokemon Black or White before, then you might be confused about what a Burn Drive is or even what they mean by holding. In the mainline games on consoles and handhelds, Pokemon can hold items during battle that can modify stats, super effective damage, or even the type of an attack.

In Pokemon Black and White, Genesect can hold a Burn (Fire), Shock (Electric), Chill (Ice), or Douse (Water) Drive to modify the type of damage the attack Techno Blast deals. Niantic didn’t reveal how the held item will work or if all Genesect during this time will have Techno Blast.

You can check out the chart below for more details on when you can take part in the Legendary raids next month.

4A Games’ first-person shooter and survival horror game Metro 2033 Redux is now available for free on the Epic Games Store for one day only.

The game originally launched on PC and Xbox 360 in 2010, and was remade in 2014 as Metro 2033 Redux with graphical and gameplay changes taken from its sequel, Metro: Last Light.

The free giveaway is part of Epic Games’ “15 Days of Free Games” promotion where it is giving away 15 PC games over 15 days with one new game each day. The giveaway began last week on Dec. 17 and has so far given away five games: Cites: Skylines, Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, The Long Dark, Defense Grid: The Awakening, and Alien: Isolation.

Metro 2033 Redux joins that list today and is available to claim for free on the Epic Games Store until Wednesday, Dec. 23 at 11 a.m. ET, and then will replaced with another game.

An apparent list of the 15 Days of Free Games was leaked on Twitter a day after the promotion began. While the list is not official, it has correctly predicted the first six games. If the list continues to be true, then management simulation Tropico 5 will be tomorrow’s game followed by puzzle-platformer Inside.

The post Metro 2033 Redux Free on Epic Games Store for One Day appeared first on Twinfinite.

Valve revealed the full list of nominees for the Steam Awards 2020 today alongside kicking off the annual Steam Winter Sale.

Steam users were able to nominate any PC game released on Steam after November 2019 for the 10 categories, though the Labor of Love award was open to all games regardless of release date since it requires games that have been heavily updated or supported post-release.

There are five nominees for the 2020 Game of the Year Award including Death Stranding, Doom Eternal, Fall Guys, Hades, and Red Dead Redemption II. Red Dead Redemption II had released for PC in November 2019, which made it eligible for this year’s awards and was not included in awards for last year.

Check out the full list of the Steam Awards 2020 nominees from the official website for categories such as VR Game of the Year, Best Game You Suck At, and Sit Back and Relax Award. Voting is open to all Steam users beginning today until Jan. 3, 2021 at 12 p.m. ET with winners announced one hour after voting has closed.

Valve is also running its annual Steam Winter Sale with many of the nominees on sale including Control, Half-Life: Alyx, Sea of Thieves, and more. The sale ends on Jan. 5. 2021 at 1 p.m. ET.

The post The Steam Awards 2020 Nominees Revealed Alongside Winter Sale appeared first on Twinfinite.

The period between Christmas and New Year is always quite interesting for Granblue Fantasy fans, due to the coming of the much- beloved Gachapin Roulette.

The much-awaited roulette will appear once a day upon login, operated by mascots Gachapin and Mukku.

This year you can get between 10 and 200 free rolls every day until January 5, plus bonuses like the Gachapin Frenzy, and more hidden goodies.

This means that you can get a rather sizable amount of good characters without spending a dime, which is even better for newcomers.

You can check out two trailers below.

Well after months of teasing KFC in partnership with Cooler Master has unveiled the KFConsole. While KFC is declaring the “console” wars over, it appears to actually be a custom PC with the added benefit of including a Chicken Chamber that will keep your food warm.

Yes, you read that correctly. The KFConsole will use the system’s natural heat to keep chicken (or whatever it is you can fit on the tray I suppose) warm, and all the while will be able to support 4K and 240 FPS gaming.

Take a look:

Here’s a few of the specs and features that Cooler Master and KFC are boasting:

Mass Effect Legendary Edition

Probably among the most anticipated remastered collection in years, Mass Effect Legendary Edition will do something pretty simple, but it should still satisfy hardcore fans of the series anyway.

As far as we know now, it’s just going to deliver the original three games with enhanced features, including all of the DLC, in one clean package that will be playable on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

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

The trailer focuses on the mechanics featured in the gameplay of this complex strategy JRPG.

We start with the mechanics common to the rest of the series, and then we take a look at the new ones introduced with the sixth chapter.

At the end of the trailer, we also see some more casual-friendly features, including auto-battle.

You can watch it below.

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny is coming west in summer 2021 for Nintendo Switch.

Strangely enough, the game will be released in Japan for both Nintendo Switch and PS4.

This is how NIS America describes it.

Today Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED released an estimate for the sell-through of the RPG as of December 20 included.

According to the announcement, the game has sold-through to customers over 13 million copies since its release on December 10.

The estimate is “based on reports obtained from digital distribution platforms and data collected from physical distributors.”

Refund requests mailed to CD Projekt as of today have also been counted into the estimate.

It’ll be certainly interesting to see how things will progress, and we’re likely to hear more when the developer releases its financial figures around February.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently available for PS4 (if you can find a physical copy), Xbox One, and PC. It has also been confirmed to be coming for Xbox Series X and PS5 down the line with upgrades available for those who purchase the game for the current generation of consoles.

If you want to know whether it’s as good as many expected, you can read our review. If you already picked up the game (and don’t plan to ask for a refund), you can enjoy our guide wiki that could provide you with useful information for your playthrough.

Today Microsoft Flight Simulator developer Asobo deployed update 1.12.13.0 to the popular sim, and it brings a lot of changes.

The patch adds virtual reality support, dynamic snow and ice, and a metric ton of changes to the airliners included in the simulator.

It also brings new liveries to celebrate the game’s launch (a bit late) and tutorials that will help newcomers getting started with the Airbus A320.

Below you can check out the full list of changes. You better grab a cup of coffee, because there is a lot to read.

Cyberpunk Review – PlayStation 4 (Played on PlayStation 5)

Editor’s Note: As stated above, Twinfinite played a PS4 copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 hardware. As a result, our experience is likely to have been markedly different from those attempting to play the game on PS4.

Other staff members have reported serious performance issues on previous console generation hardware that are still very problematic at the time of publishing. If you’re reading this you should consider this review a look into how Cyberpunk 2077 plays when played on hardware that is able to properly run it.

This review and the score the follows only considers the Cyberpunk 2077 experience playing on PS5. It is our recommendation that you avoid playing Cyberpunk 2077 on last-gen hardware entirely until updates are made to improve performance.

The memory of watching Cyberpunk 2077’s first gameplay presentation at E3 2018 is one I’ve thought of frequently over the past few weeks. Vertical slices so often promise a level of perfection rarely achieved in the final product, but what had intrigued me back then wasn’t so much what I had seen of Night City’s tremendous scale and density but the glue I hoped would hold it all together. 

The reality, though, is that while Night City’s dystopian labyrinth of dingy streets and towering skyscrapers deliver a breathtaking spectacle, it too often feels as though it’s held together with string and tape.

Even when it’s firing on all cylinders, it never truly exists and reacts in the way I’d hoped as the next big open-world from CD Projekt Red, the master craftsmen behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Today Microsoft announced the new batch of Games With Gold that Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will receive during the month of January at no additional cost.

We’re getting Little Nightmares and Dead Rising from the Xbox One lineup, while backward compatible titles bring The King of Fighter XIII and Breakdown.

If you’re unfamiliar with any of them, you can find a trailer and official descriptions below.

Little Nightmares
Help your character, Six, survive The Maw: a massive and mysterious vessel inhabited by corrupted souls looking to make you their next meal. Reconnect with your inner childhood and unleash your imagination to escape the horrors within and find salvation.

Dead Rising
In this remastered version of the original game, survive the flesh-hungry undead mob in the Willamette shopping center using a range of weapons at your disposal. As photojournalist Frank West, you’ll have 72 hours to fight off the zombie horde and discover the reason behind the outbreak.

While Paris Orly (LFPO) may not be as glamorous as its bigger brother Charles de Gaulle, it’s a very important airport in the French aviation landscape, and the folks at JetStream Designs just released its rendition for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The add-on is priced at $24 on SimMarket and installs via the Contrail client, so getting everything ready is fairly painless.

It covers the area of the airport and its immediate vicinity, including a few additional buildings (you can’t have France without Fnac) to help blend the scenery better with its surrounding. Even the famous Concorde parked close to the threshold of runway 2 is included.

The whole perimeter of the airport is correctly fenced, which is always a nice touch. Airports are some of the most heavily-secured facilities in the world, and seeing them with no fences always makes me frown a bit.

If you’d like to see what it looks like in detail, you can check out the in-depth flyover video below, showing Orly under every angle, lighting, and weather condition.

Today, Tokyo-based developer Sting Entertainment announced Gloria Union: Twin Fates in Blue Ocean FHD Edition.

As the name suggests, it’s a full-HD remaster of the PSP classic Gloria Union: Twin Fates in Blue Ocean launched in Japan under Atlus‘ umbrella in 2011.

The remaster will launch in 2021 with full-HD visuals, additional features, adjusted balance, and greatly-improved playability. The official website will open in January.

The platforms are Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android.

You can check out the announcement below, from the developer’s Twitter account.

Capcom is continuing its series of trailers dedicated to the weapons of the upcoming Monster Hunter game Monster Hunter Rise.

The first trailer we see today is dedicated to the technical Charge Blade, while the second showcases the game’s rather unique Hunting Horn.

You can check out both trailers below.

“Dynamic, crushing potential. The Charge Blade weaves together an empowered sword and stout shield to make up a mighty axe. Charge it up in sword mode, then unleash devastating attacks in axe mode.

“Counter Peak Performance” is a silkbind attack that readies your shield for incoming attacks; getting hit fills your phials to maximum, priming you for the ultimate counter attack.”

Ghost of Tsushima is very popular in Japan, and it appears that even game developers appreciated Sucker Punch’s latest labor of love.

Famitsu conducted its annual survey among Japanese developers and celebrities. 132 people voted for their favorite game of the year. The vast majority of them were were developers, with the addition of some celebrities including voice actors and a few more.

Turns out that Ghost of Tsushima was the most voted game this year, followed by Animal Crossing: New Horizon, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.

For now, we don’t know the breakdown of the votes, but details will be published in the next issue on Famitsu releasing on Dec. 24.

Today Genshin Impact developer MiHoYo released a new gameplay trailer for the popular action RPG.

The trailer focuses on one of the new characters that associated with update 1.2, but unlike the previous trailer, this is all about Albedo’s gameplay.

You can check him out below and see how he can dispatch enemies with style. I also added the Japanese trailer if you prefer Japanese voice-overs.

Today Xseed games released a new video showing off its releases for 2020 and teasing new games for 2021.

Interestingly, in the end, we get to see the logos of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, Rune Factory 5, Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound and Debriefed, and Potionomics, alongside what appears to be the tease for two additional games for 2021.

The accompanying press release also teases surprises. by way of president Ken Berry.

“This was an incredible year for us, and represents one of the more diverse lineup of games we’ve had. Between being able to release titles long in development to releasing fresh surprises, we hope that our games have helped people stay entertained through what has been a challenging year. We want to thank our fans for all their support and we look forward to a new year, and new surprises.”

We hear that “exciting new titles” will be announced in the coming months.

Stardew Valley’s long-waited version 1.5—the game’s biggest update yet—is available to download now for PC. The update will be coming to consoles and mobile in early 2021.

This update adds significant content to the popular farming simulation game, including “late game” additions.

We’ll share a few of the new Stardew Valley content here in a spoiler-free way, as outlined by developer ConcernedApe’s latest blog post, as well as a link to the full changelog.

First, there are additional options available if you are starting a new game. Most notably, there’s a new farm option called “Beach Farm” that is good for fishing and foraging with a chance for rare supply crate to wash up on shore

For new games, there are also now advanced options that you can set to do things like randomize community center bundles for a harder playthrough.

The next big addition is the inclusion of splitscreen co-op. You could previously share a farm with other players online, but now you’ll be able to share one locally.

ConcernedApe also shared in his blog post a list of spoiler-free additions you can expect in this update:

Today third-party add-on developer Sim-Wings released another relevant airport add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The airport is Munich (EDDM), the second-busiest hub in Germany. It can be purchased on Aerosoft’s and Simmarket‘s stores for €21 plus VAT.

Below you can check out a few screenshots and read a description from the developer, on top of an official feature list.

Every year I look forward to (hopefully) getting another Husky Raid Destiny dance video. That may sound strange to the uninitiated but this group has been putting together extremely impressive choreographed music videos in Destiny using the game’s emotes and weapons for years now and they just keep getting better.

This year, unsurprisingly, they make heavy use of Stasis’s icy powers to create a winter and holiday themed video taking place on the Cosmodrome and Europa. Check out it below for some laughs.

Whether you like Destiny or not, you just have to marvel at the effort it must take to put together these videos each time. I was floored by the double Titan bubble and glaciers making a snowman.

As usual it’s excellent stuff. If you want to see more of their “Saw Something Weird” series of music videos, you can do so right here. For me it’s hard to top MJ & Thriller from D1 on the Moon.

Destiny 2 has been around for over three years now and we’re working on year four as this article is being published. Over the years Destiny 2 has seen many exotics added into the game. So many that it’s hard to keep track of them sometimes.

Well, if you’re here you probably already know what’s going to happen. We want to see how well you can keep track of all these Destiny 2 exotics.

Below we have a mix of exotic armor and weapon perk descriptions. Can you identify which exotic weapon or armor is associated with that perk description? Give it a try and good luck!
