While it may have just been a teaser trailer, the Mass Effect video BioWare unveiled at the Game Awards features plenty of incredible hidden details. Some of this information even points toward essential info about the next installment in the series. 

Below, we’ve gone over five significant details the Mass Effect teaser hides in plain sight. If you saw any that we missed, or have any thoughts on the breakdown, be sure to leave a comment. 

Obvious spoiler warning: we’re going to be talking about the ending of Mass Effect 3 in some detail here, so click away if you somehow didn’t realize that.

Earlier this afternoon, Niantic announced many important details for the upcoming Pokemon GO Holidays event. There will be 10 days of changing bonuses, the debut of a certain icy Pokemon from the Unova region, and much more.

The Ice-type Pokemon that will finally be making its debut during the Pokemon GO Holidays event is none other than Vanillite. This adorable ice cream cone will be available in the wild, in eggs, and in Field Research encounters.

Starting on Dec. 22 at 8 am local time until Dec. 31 at 10 PM local time, other ice types will be appearing more often in the wild, eggs, Field Research, and raids. Below you can find the full breakdown of the creatures confirmed for the Pokemon GO Holidays event.

Vanillite and Cryogonal can be encounter by finishing regular Field Research tasks, but Snorunt can only be encountered by completing AR Mapping tasks. Abomasnow Mega Energy will also be added as a reward for AR Mapping tasks during the event.

Many Microsoft Flight Simulator fans are eagerly awaiting the Bombardier CRJ add-on by Aerosoft, and today the developer revealed another piece of the puzzle.

This time around we get a sample of volume 1 of the documentation that will be included with the add-on. If you’re wondering about the complexity of the aircraft, this is likely a good place to start evaluating.

You shouldn’t worry too much about spoilers, as you’ll have plenty to read when the CRJ package releases. It will include five volumes of documentation.

Incidentally, project manager Mathijs Kok mentioned that he recently assisted the good folks at Majestic Software get into the same level of access with Microsoft Flight Simulator’s developers as Aerosoft enjoys. This could mean that the development of Majestic’s excellent De Havilland Canada Dash 8 Q400 add-on for MSFS could receive an acceleration.

At the moment, the release date of the CRJ Package (which will initially include CRJ 550 and 700 and then expand with the 900 and 1000 versions) is still unknown, with “hopes” (but no promises) that it’ll come before the end of the year. At the moment, Aerosoft is waiting for Asobo to fix a few remaining issues before they can commit to a launch date..

Today Microsoft announced that it claimed partial dibs on the recently-announced Ark: Survival Evolved sequel ARK II.

According to the announcement, the upcoming sandbox survival game will be an Xbox Series X & S “console launch exclusive” when it launches in 2022.

This basically means that it’s likely also coming to PC and it’ll be temporarily exclusive to Microsoft’s consoles at release, with the duration of that deal yet to be announced.

The game made headlines last week after its debut at The Game Awards thanks to the unexpected appearance of Vin Diesel’s 3D doppelganger, with the actor set to play the role of Santiago Da Costa in the game on top of acting as executive producer.

Apparently, Diesel is a big fan of Ark: Survival Evolved, having played the game for over 1,000 hours.

You can check out the trailer of Fast & Furious: Dino Drift below.

Jokes aside, we can certainly hope that the game will at least look better than the latest Fast & Furious title.

Ok. I’m done with the jokes. Honest. I won’t even try to associate dinosaurs and nitrous oxide, albeit it’s very tempting.

Incidentally, we also hear that the trailer itself “was rendered in-engine using real-time ray-tracing technology, and ARK II’s game assets and lighting techniques.”

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 “Holiday Wonderland” and it’s all about what you think it is, with plenty of festive outfits and accessories for your character.

Of course, there are also other elements like hairstyles, CAST parts, and even emotes.

The collection will be available starting on Dec. 16 and until Jan. 13, covering the period across the upcoming Holidays.

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.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is available in the west for Xbox One and PC. A few months ago, we heard that the western version enjoyed a “strong start” and that it passed one million players.

There are some pretty iconic stages in Super Mario 64, and among them is none other than Whomp’s Fortress. This stage may be small in size but it makes up for it in its verticality and the awesome King Whomp boss battle at the top of the fort.

We gave it the number nine spot in our list of the best Super Mario 64 levels ranked, and it’s much deserved. It turns out that we’re not the only ones who appreciate this stage though. A modder named Waikuteru has magically added the ’90s video game stage to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, because why not?

You can check out the video below that shows off Link making his way up to the top of the fortress. As you can see, the stage isn’t just straight ripped from Mario 64, as it has Breath of the Wild elements to it to make it feel right at home in the world of Hyrule.

Microsoft, Nintendo, and PlayStation released a joint statement on Monday pledging to make gaming safer for everyone across all their platforms.

Dave McCarthy, corporate vice president of Xbox operations, posted the joint statement on Microsoft’s Xbox Wire, titled “Our Shared Commitment to Safer Gaming,” outlining each company’s initiative to protect gamers of all ages, especially children who are the “youngest and most vulnerable players.”

Each gaming company presented three principles critical to their commitment to ensuring gamer safety: prevention, partnership, and responsibility.

Prevention includes pledges to give players and parents safety tools and features needed to customize the gaming experiences appropriate for the players’ age and educating on the codes of conduct, terms of use, enforcement policies, and investment in tech to prevent harm to players before it happens.

Partnership involves engaging with players, law enforcement agencies, industry regulators, and gaming communities to advance gamer safety, including encouraging the use of reporting tools to call out hate and harassment.

Finally, responsibility involves each company holding themselves accountable for complying with law enforcement and notifying authorities in the event unlawful conduct occurs or a player is at risk of harm, making sure that everyone knows what their codes of conduct are, and that players who have been reported for ill-conduct know what rules to follow in order to continue playing on their platforms.

Today Rare released a new trailer of its popular online adventure game Sea of Thieves, and it’s a special one.

The trailer celebrates a thousand days for the game, which was released on April 20, 2017.

We get to see the history of Sea of Thieves through images which, paired with just the perfect music, are really epic indeed.

You can check it out below.

Just a few days ago, Rare made some rather relevant announcements about the future of the game, including the implementation of seasons going forward.

This will bring a new progression system alongside a premium “Plunder Pass.”

We also learned that Sea of Thieves has passed 11 million players, which is certainly very respectable.

Sea of Thieves is currently available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.

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

If you have not heard the news by now, Cyberpunk 2077 has had a bit of a rocky launch. Early adopters of the game have not only been facing a slew of technical issues on base PS4 and Xbox One consoles, but plenty of problems are also popping up for PC and PS5/Series X players too. CD Projekt has confirmed that multiple patches are currently in the works to release over the next few months and the company has even started to offer refunds for players who feel dissatisfied with their recent purchase.

With that being said, these glitches and bugs have been going around social media ever since Cyberpunk 2077 launched last week and some of them are just too dang funny not to share.

It’s unfortunate that players have to deal with these technical issues, but hey, at least they make for some good ol’ light-hearted content.

I’ve rounded up some of the funniest and wildest Cyberpunk 2077 glitches and bugs out there, including one that I personally encountered during my time in one of the game’s opening missions.

Enjoy!

Today Cygames and Xseed released a new DLC character for Granblue Fantasy Versus, the fan-favorite Yuel.

Yuel costs $6.99 on her own, or you can get her by purchasing the second Character Pass for $34.99, including Belial, Cagliostro, the recently-revealed Uno/Anre, and two more characters coming in 2021.

To celebrate the new release, Xseed published another trailer and a batch of screenshots. You can check them out below alongside an official description for Yuel.

Today Cygames released two articles on its “magazine” website dedicated to development showing off the work being done on Granblue Fantasy Relink.

The articles include several videos and images providing another look at the game following the new information and gameplay reveal at Granblue Fantasy Fes 2020 during the weekend.

You can see them all bellow starting with Io’s character model.

Here’s Rosetta in action.

Below you can check out the rendering of the clouds.

Here are the images.

Today Nintendo of America has announced that an Indie World showcase will be happening on Dec. 15 at 9 AM PT and will feature 15 minutes of updates and new announcements on everything indie coming to the Nintendo Switch in the near future.

Nintendo didn’t tease any specific titles that would be shown during the presentation but there have been some pretty exciting reveals in the past, such as Axiom Verge 2 last year.

Unfortunately, developer Thomas Happ delayed the title to early 2021 but there could be a chance for it to be shown during the Indie World showcase this week, and possibly give us a concrete release date.

And this should go without saying, but don’t expect any big first-party Nintendo titles from this presentation. This is only focused on indies from Nintendo’s global partners so there will not be anything like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Metroid Prime 4 making an appearance.

Today Square Enix finally made the school uniform costumes available to Final Fantasy XIV North American and European players.

The uniforms named “Collegiate Attire,” were first released exclusively on the Korean servers, but finally, everyone can get them.

The catch, is that they have been released on the store for $18 or €13.50 depending on where you live.

You can purchase the version with slacks or the version with a skirt. Both male and female characters can wear both versions and they can be dyed.

You can see what they look like below.

Today CD Projekt Red took to Twitter to post a message acknowledging the issues affecting Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and Xbox One.

The tweet includes a message from the developers, which you can read in its entirety below.

The announcement includes an apology for the issues and the promise that several updates will improve the experience.

One will come this week and will be followed by frequent patches whenever improvements are ready.

Two major patches will follow in January and February, promising to bring the experience closer to the PC version.

That being said, if that’s not enough for you, customers can request a purchase directly on the PSN or Xbox Live. For boxed copies, you should first try to get a refund at the store where you purchased the game. If that doesn’t work, you can write at this address.

Today Electronic Arts reached out with a press release to announce an agreement for the acquisition of British racing developer Codemasters.

The acquisition is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2021.

Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Willson accompanied the press release with a comment.

“We believe there is a deeply compelling opportunity in bringing together Codemasters and Electronic Arts to create amazing and innovative new racing games for fans. Our industry is growing, the racing category is growing, and together we will be positioned to lead in a new era of racing entertainment.

We have admired Codemasters’ creative talent and high-quality games for many years. With the full leverage of EA’s technology, platform expertise, and global reach, this combination will allow us to grow our existing franchises and deliver more industry-defining racing experiences to a global fan base.

We are pleased that both our Boards of Directors are recommending this transaction, and we look forward to welcoming such an exciting and talented team to the Electronic Arts family.”

We also receive a statement from Codemasters Chairman Gerhard Florin.

“Electronic Arts and Codemasters have a shared ambition to lead the video game racing category. The Board of Codemasters firmly believes the company would benefit from EA’s knowledge, resources and extensive global scale – both overall and specifically within the racing sector.

Capcom is continuing to show more trailers of the upcoming Monster Hunter game Monster Hunter Rise.

The first trailer is dedicated to the bow, while the second takes things up close and personal with the dual blades.

You can watch both below.

“Swift, elegant and precise. The Bow combines high mobility and rapid attacks to rain down a constant stream of arrows onto monsters.”

“Lithe, agile and relentless. The Dual Blades deliver an onslaught of slices in rapid succession.”

Today Bandai Namco revealed the next DLC character for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.

The new character is Kozuki Oden, who will join Kin’Emon and Okiku within the third (and for now last) DLC package for the game. With Jump Festa coming soon, we’ll see if there will be more.ì

We also get a release date for all three characters, which will be December 17.

You can watch a trailer and a few screenshots below.

Ubisoft+, Ubisoft’s monthly subscription service for PC, is now available in beta on Google Stadia starting today and rolling out through Dec. 16, the company announced.

Existing Ubisoft+ subscribers that reside in the United States can sign up for the beta by logging into their accounts and linking a free Stadia account. Stadia Pro, the premium tier that offers 4K streaming and free games at $9.99 per month, is not required.

Players will be able to access and play the games through the Google Chrome web browser, compatible Android mobile devices, and Chromecast Ultra via streaming at no additional cost.

Cross-platform progression will be available in newer titles, such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising, allowing players to pick up where they left off from any device.

Ubisoft+ on Stadia will also feature premium versions of some of its titles including the two listed above, Watch Dogs: Legion, and other games in the catalog of over 100 games for $14.99 per month.

Ubisoft’s PC subscription service initially launched as Uplay+ last year, and was rebranded to the current name alongside the company’s dedicated PC launcher to Ubisoft Connect last October. The service also debuted in beta on Amazon’s cloud gaming service Luna last month.

The post Ubisoft+ Launches for Google Stadia in Beta Today appeared first on Twinfinite.

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout conquered a place in the hearts of many JRPG fans, and a Nendoroid dedicated to the game has been long overdue.

The figure comes with Good Smile Company and it’s available on the firm’s own American store for $67.99 and on Ami Ami for 5,940 yen, which translates approximately into $57.

The release window is July 2021 for Japan and August for the west.

She comes with staff and flask and her jacket is removable in order to reproduce her summer costume.

You can check out what she looks like in the gallery below, alongside an official description from Good Smile Company.

Today GfK published (via GamesIndustry) its physical video game sales charts for the UK, focusing on the past week.

Unsurprisingly, Cyberpunk 2077 sold very strongly, achieving the second-biggest launch of the UK behind FIFA 21. This isn’t very surprising considering that the FIFA series tends to be pretty much unbeatable in the island of Her Majesty the Queen.

CD Projekt’s game pushes The Last Of Us Part II down to third place. On top of that, we know that CD Projekt RED’s games tend to do very well on PC, which means that digital sales would push the numbers even higher.

60% of physical sales were on PS4, 35% on Xbox, and the rest on PC.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is still steady in third place, showing the power of its legs. It’s going to be the second-biggest boxed game of 2021 overall, following the unbeatable FIFA 21.

Ubisoft’s Immortals: Fenyx Rising barely failed to make the top 10 on its launch week and its sales then dropped by 45% to rank only 17th this week.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of sales Cyberpunk 2077 will show over the next few weeks.

You can check out the top 10 chart below.

Today even more screenshots of the upcoming Bombardier CRJ add-on were revealed by Aerosoft and the beta testers.

We get to see some really spiffy details of the aircraft in another livery, the American Eagle one (sources 1,2,3,4).

On top of that, we take a look at a different angle of the cockpit and one more look at the Air France Hop! livery.

You can check them all out below.

Today, following the reveals dedicated to Granblue Fantasy Versus, Cygames updated the official website with new screenshots.

The images focus on Yuel, the next DLC character who will be released tomorrow, showing off her moves including the one that involved Societte.

You can check them all out below.

Today, during the second day of Granblue Fantasy Fes 2020, Cygames revealed upcoming content for the popular mobile game Granblue Fantasy.

On top of yesterday’s announcements, we get the reveal of Filene from Shadowverse and a new Sandalphon, whocaused a rather… intense reaction from Narmaya voice actress Mao. He always seems to get this kind of reaction for some reason.

The traditional New Year skins include Cain, Danua, and a super-cute Athena, while the inevitable New Year character is Shatla, celebrating the year of the Ox. Quite obviously, she’s a Draph.

We also get the reveal of a new job, which is Masquerade, Dancer’s EXII job. It’ll come with a rank cap increase to 300 for the 7th anniversary next year.

Of course, the Holidays will be full of freebies (following the celebration for 27 million players going on now). From December 22 to January 5, we’ll get up to 200 free draws a day thanks to the traditional Gachapin Roulette.

Today, during the second day of Granblue Fantasy Fes 2020, Cygames revealed new details for Granblue Fantasy Versus.

The trailer showcases Yuel’s gameplay following her reveal in October. Yet, things get even more heated toward the end as the next character is revealed and it’s Uno.

On top of that we also learn that Yuel will be released on December 14 while Uno comes in Late January.

More news include a look at the 3D models of Societte and Seofon (which won’t be playable) and updates 2.21 and 2.22, on top of a glimpse at update 2.23. You can find all the details in the slides under the trailer.

Relevant is the addition of a “Battle Pass” coming with update 2.22 in late December. It will include exclusive cosmetic premium goodies.

Capcom is continuing to show more assets and share more details about the upcoming Monster Hunter game Monster Hunter Rise.

First of all, we get to see more endemic life that we can use to secure an advantage while hunting.

Below you can see the explosive Bombadgy and the buffing Spiribirds.

Those who love enriching their cityscapes in Microsoft Flight Simulators have two reasons to celebrate today.

Orbx just announced a Singapore package that promises to beautify the Asian city-state considerably.

Here’s what you can expect when it launches (a release date has not been announced yet).

• 20 high-detail custom landmarks including Supertree Grove, Helix Bridge, The Fullerton Hotel, and the Old and New Supreme Courts
• 130 medium-detail custom landmarks, balancing quality and performance.
• Extensive terraforming across the coverage area, enhancing how our custom landmarks sit within the simulator’s terrain.
• Unique laser lights on the Marina Bay Sands Hotel
• Custom night lighting based on real-world photography.
• Enhancements to harbor, port, and industrial areas between Jurong Island and Changi Airport

You can see what the add-on looks like below, keeping in mind that the images are work-in-progress.

If you want something here and now, Drzewiecki Design just released Chicago. While the default city has photogrammetry, this add-on promises to increase the level of detail considerably.

Here’s what it includes.

Those eagerly awaiting Aerosoft’s Bombardier CRJ add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator are in for a treat (or many) today.

The package is currently being beta tested, and plenty of screenshots have been posted on the official forums (sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Featured prominently in the screenshots is the Lufthansa Regional operated by Erowings livery, which looks lovely.

Incidentally, if you’re wondering why people would fly regional airliners in formation, that’s because the developers are working on a video, which requires an aircraft to “chase” another and act as a camera.

Interestingly, we hear that the CRJ will have plenty of documentation, with five manuals included in the package. Yes. Five.

You can enjoy the screenshots below.

Today, during the celebrations for Granblue Fantasy Fes 2020 in Japan, Cygames released a new trailer for the popular mobile game.

The trailer teases the upcoming story event “Robomi – The Biggest Battle in History: God Gigantes vs. Arbitrator Zooey” which will come on December 28.

It also pays homage to classic giant robots thanks to Robomi’s own theme song performed by Ichiro Mizuki, who performed the songs of beloved anime like Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Steel Jeeg, Chodenji Robo Combattler V, and Captain Harlok.

Yet, the clincher is that Masami Obari worked on the trailer. You may know him for his work on classics like Dangaioh, Detonator Orgun, Dancouga, Tekkaman Blade, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, Mazinkaiser, Gaigaigar, and quite a few Super Robot Wars games.

Super robot anime fans will certainly find quite a few familiar scenes in the trailer.

You can watch it below. Incidentally, if you’re here for Granblue Fantasy Relink news, you can find all the new details in our dedicated article, and some fantastic gameplay. Granblue Fantasy Versus news will be shared tomorrow.

Today Pearl Abyss revealed a brand new character for its popular MMORPG Black Desert (or Black Desert Online, as it’s named on PC).

Her name is Nova, and she’s a powerful fighter wielding a giant shield and an equally massive mace.

She will come to all platforms (PS4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile) worldwide on December 22.

Below you can check out a few trailers showcasing her story and gameplay (the mobile version has its own trailer, since the gameplay is a bit different).

To celebrate her introduction, players will simply need to log into the game starting tomorrow to receive a bunch of bonus goodies. A second bundle will be delivered on December 17, and a third on December 22. You have time until January 20 to grab them.

You can enjoy all the trailers below.

Today Cygames revealed a brand new look at the gameplay of Granblue Fantasy Relink.

The gameplay, which was shared during a panel at Ganblue Fantasy Fes 2020, looks absolutely fantastic.

We get to see Djeeta in action alongside Catalina, Io, and Rosetta, alongside a look at the menus.

Unsurprisingly, it looks absolutely gorgeous and massively improved since its previous showing.

This should not surprise, considering that the engine is now complete and the development team is focusing on creating assets.

At the end of the demo, we get to see a spectacular boss fight. I dare say that this looks like it’ll be worth the wait.

At the end of the presentation, director Tetsuya Fukuhara mentioned that the team won’t have much to share about the game in 2021, but an article focusing on the graphics will be released on Cygames’ official magazine on Dec. 14.

You can watch it below in a recording courtesy of YouTube user GamersPrey.

Today, during the first day of Granblue Fantasy Fes 2020, Cygames provided an update about the much-anticipated Granblue Fantasy Relink.

We learn that the new release window is 2022, but it’s also coming for both PS5 and PS4.

Cross play between the two consoles will be supported.

Director Tetsuya Fukuhara mentioned that Granblue Fantasy Relink  was definitely announced too early and admitted that with hindsight, he would have revealed the game in the summer 2021.

We also get an update on the state of development, which you can read in the second slide below. The game is in alpha and can be played in its entirety, but assets and features aren’t finished.

Fukuhara-san then revealed Blue, the original protagonist of the game. Ultimately, the developers decided to replace her with Gran and Djeeta. She appeared as a cameo in Granblue Fantasy Versus as one of Djeeta’s colors and her costume will ultimately appear in Granblue Fantasy Relink.

Lastly, we get an extensive update on what has been done since the developer changed from PlatinumGames to Cygames’ internal team based in Osaka.

The engine is finally complete (as of August 2020) and the game is currently approaching the final stage of development, with the team going “all in” on creating assets.

You can find all the slides below and take a look at brand new gameplay here.

A few days ago, we learned that Final Fantasy XIV player Maidy Maidy passed away after battling cancer for some time.

Maidy was known as the author of the story behind the TV series and theatrical movie “Dad of Light” which focused on the game.

He was also an active Final Fantasy XIV player and leader of the Giovinezza (“Youth” in Japanese) free company on the Gungnir server.

The game’s Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida knew Maidy personally, and published a long and touching post on the official Final Fantasy XIV Developers’ Blog.

You can read how Yoshida-san introduced the post below. I will not reproduce the rest here, as I believe you should read it on the Developers’ Blog, where it was originally posted.

“To the FFXIV players:

I really struggled to decide where to publish these words. This is the official FFXIV Developers’ Blog, after all, and I was torn until the very end on whether it is appropriate to post this here. But, I’m sorry – please allow me to be selfish just this one time.

Third-party add-on developer DC Designs provided another look at the upcoming F-15 Eagle package for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

We get to see a look at the cockpit and at the external model in various lighting conditions in new screenshots.

Even more interestingly, we see a work-in-progress video showing off a take-off with afterburners that looks quite spectacular, especially considering that the aircraft isn’t finished.

You can check them all out below.

This weekend is Community Day Weekend in Pokemon GO, but the events don’t stop there. Earlier today, Niantic announced that Galarian Mr. Mime and Mr. Rime will be coming to Pokemon GO via a paid Special Research event next week.

Even if you don’t feel like picking up the ticket to take part in the Special Research next weekend, then you’ll still get access to a handful of other bonuses and features.

As Niantic describes it, “…Galarian Mr. Mime’s arrival will inspire some cool and melodious Pokemon to be attracted to Incense.” It’s hard to tell what that means, but Jynx, Swinub, Spoink, Woobat, Cubchoo are the only Pokemon mentioned in the post. Also, shiny Cubchoo will also start appearing in the wild.

And if you just want to stay home, then you can just use some Incense to attract Pokemon for up to three hours instead of just one. On top of that, Incense will be more effective during this event.

Make sure your phone is charged before the event begins on Dec. 18 at 10 AM local time and keep it going until Dec. 21 at 8 PM local time to make the most of these bonuses and features.

The paid portion of the event runs from Dec. 19 at 10 AM local time until Dec. 20 at 8 PM local time. For $7.99, you’ll be able to get access to all of the following:

Today CD Projekt released a statement on its investor relations’ website commenting on how much Cyberpunk 2077 is contributing to the studio’s finances.

The statement mentions that the according to CD Projekt’s estimates, the income coming from the sale of digital pre-orders alone already surpasses all development costs of the game and marketing, including future promotional expenditures until the end of the year.

That’s… a whole lot of money.

It’ll certainly be interesting to see what will be announced at the studio’s next financial conference call, which should come sometime after January. I have a feeling that they’ll have to change the scale of the revenue graphs.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently available to PS4, 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 already picked up the game, you can enjoy our guide wiki that could provide you with useful information for your playthrough.

Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games released a pair of new videos focusing on upcoming content for the growing space simulator.

First of all, we get to see the new Talon fighters that will appear in the upcoming Alpha 3.12.

The same video also showcases weapons (including a really spiffy crossbow), the work-in-progress interior of the Aegis Redeemer, new shield effects, more on the planetary homesteads, and effects like buoyancy and vegetation bending.

The second video features Star Citizen live director Todd Papy and core gameplay director Richard Tyrer as they talk about all the goodies that we’ll get in Alpha 3.12.

You can watch both below.

CD Projekt RED announced Cyberpunk 2077 in May 2012 and dropped a teaser trailer eight months later in 2013, giving fans a glimpse of the far-out graphics and futuristic environment they’ll get to experience when the game is ready to be released into the wild.

Fast forward eight years later and after several delays, no doubt due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing devs to work from home and the stresses of crunch culture, we’re finally going to roam around Night City with the roguishly breathtaking Keanu Reeves.

While waiting eight years for a game can be painful, other games have come out to medicate our impatience. Here are some of the awesome games that came out between Cyberpunk 2077’s announcement and now.

To celebrate all of the best games from The Game Awards 2020, there are now some pretty huge sales currently going on right now on the digital storefronts out there, such as the Switch eShop, PSN, the Xbox Store, the Epic Games Store, and Steam.

WandaVision

MCU Phase 4 Announcements

WandaVision is a wacky new Disney+ series that will officially kick off Phase 4 of the MCU. It stars Scarlet Witch and Vision as they try to live in peace in Westview’s suburbs after the terrible events of Avengers Endgame.

It’ll consist of six episodes and will premiere on Disney+ on Jan. 15, 2021.

Add-on developer SamScene3D released the previously-announced “Seoul City Wow” package for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The package improves the landscape of the capital of South Korea, which is great considering that the default rendition of the country is a bit on the mediocre side.

The add-on can be purchased on the developer’s own store for $16.95.

Alongside the release, we got a charming trailer showing off the new look of the city, alongside plenty of screenshots.

Here’s what you get in the package.
